we'll let him off the hook with cornhole. we'll do a little later. will: if you were not watching yesterday, lawrence had incredibly embarrassing moment on "fox & friends." that was it. lawrence: can we show the footage. will: a responsibility has been laid down. lawrence: it was a no-look pass. we had to go to commercial. this is the real competition. watch this, this is how i really do it. it went in, second try. you missed it i was celebrating right there. rachel: what will insisted with the producers get the one you missed in slow motion. he wanted the moment to celebrate you and. will: i don't think i had to humiliate him. he was doing that himself. lawrence: i was on the ground doing my job, a fellow texan embarrassed me. rachel: you know your friend on
3:03 am
the show. will: speaking of embarrassing, president joe biden is taking the weekend off. he is headed to delaware. 200 americans are still left stranded in afghanistan. thousands upon thousands made their way to the united states of america. president joe biden tweeted the following, to the courageous afghans arriving in america, welcome home. as we mentioned there are some 200 odd americans who are not welcomed back home. >> problem the president is saying those people can come if they want or antony blinken is saying we reached out. anyone who wanted to come could come home. a young woman, american from california. she is 25 years old. she is pregnant. she is stuck in afghanistan. she had an interview with the voice of america. she is saying absolutely not. she tried to leave and could not. listen. i'm sorry, was not a radio
3:04 am
interview. apparently they're going door-to-door to see if anybody has a blue passport. i don't think i will be able to go home. definitely a loss of hope. i was only 15 steps away from the airport, i told people would come out of the airport to get me. what hope am i supposed to have now. when she got to the gate, by the way, she was trampled on at one point. they shot at her feet. she had her husband with her. he tried to plead with the guard just let her go, not me, she pregnant said i'm not leaving without my husband. just an absolute nightmare. said it felt like a movie. lawrence: this entire thing is a nightmare. it is incumbent for us not to allow it to be swept under the rug. from the very beginning the president was on vacation. he didn't return to the white house until that monday. he decided to give a press conference. it was so disorganized. they didn't have a clear
3:05 am
message. pentagon was going all over the place. state department was going all over the place. after the speech he gave it was lackluster. he got on the plane and went back to delaware. then they finally decided some strategy to evacuate americans. meanwhile there are americans still left. i came back from fort lee. we thoughts those people aided america. the majority of the people that were on the plane were no our allies. move on to this stage what is going on now. everything is okay. we should move on. this was a great mission. it was a great mission for the servicemembers and laid their life but they were put in a difficult position. didn't have to happen this way. i think the administration, to your point, is banking on us forgetting, nothing is happening. he can go back on vacation. meanwhile we're seeing stories of americans as well as people that are our allies struggling right now. rachel: people we need to get
3:06 am
out are not getting out. will: better hope the story ends there, what could happen by abandoning the our post in afghanistan the reason we went there in the first place to make sure no terrorism ever made to our shores. jennifer griffin had exclusive sit-down with general mark milley, he predicts that safety we enjoyed for 20 years could come to an end. reporter: is the u.s. safer today since the u.s. has withdrawn from afghanistan? >> this is something i thought a lot about and i personally think my military estimate that the conditions are likely to develop of a civil war. i don't know if the taliban is going to be able to consolidate power and establish governance. they may be, maybe not. but i think there is at least a good probability of a broader civil war. that will then in turn lead to conditions that could in fact lead to reconstitution of al qaeda, growth of isis or
3:07 am
other myriad of terrorist groups. the short answer to your question we don't know yet but the conditions are very likely, in my opinion, that i testified to this, i said it in public, that you could see a resurgence of terrorism coming out of the general region, within 12, 24, 3 36 months. lawrence: he is clearly political. the answer to that question, no, we're not safer. we're working with the people that helped do 9/11. which is a slap in the face of our military men, the people that laid down their life, a slap in the face of people that lost family members, joined the 9/11 attack. he is being political, political a lot. not surprising we're hearing more about the generals. we talked to our friend pete hegseth. i didn't know this as a civilian, my family members were in the military, my granddad, dad all that, the generals are becoming political.
3:08 am
they are not listening to people on the ground. this guy is trying to keep his job. the american people need to know if we're safe or not and we're just not. rachel: will, he said i think terrorism is going to be on the rise essentially what he is saying. will: said one to three years. he described a situation where we have chaos in afghanistan a civil war but think about the different circumstances could lead to a more dangerous situation for us for americans in america. if you really can't draw the borders. you could say, all right, chaos, civil war, the rise of al qaeda, isis, all capable and interested in exporting terrorism. what about this? what about the taliban, yes, sir exerting control over that nation. what if they consolidate power? they were already partnered up with al qaeda. we've seen the taliban partner up with the haqqani network. what situation, which situation, which scenario breed as better more save america? i don't think you can find it.
3:09 am
real quickly i think judge jeanine laid it out last night. rachel: she did. will: basically handed over a entire nation, entire geographic nation. rachel: we armed them. will: we armed them and turned it over to a breeding ground for terrorism. watch. >> joe biden has literally given a terrorist organization their own nation. not only that we armed them to accomplish their mission. as he tries to sell us lie after lie the american people are seeing right through it. you see, joe, we're smarter than you and your minions think we are. you've been lying for months about afghanistan. your behavior is not only a dereliction of duty and your sworn oath to protect and defend the constitution and people of the united states, you have aided and abetted the enemy that we fought for 20 years with american blood and treasure and you have the gall to actually call the exit an extraordinary
3:10 am
success? lawrence: to build on that, who in the u.s. administration recognized the legitimate government? is it the taliban or is it the afghan government? i know the president is gone but the vice president is the acting president. who are we negotiating with? the taliban is saying we are running the show here? rachel: general milley actually called them afghan partners. general milley is the same guy that said we could do this exit without bagram base. anybody should step down, that is definitely what he has done is impeachable but also heads need to roll. general milley is a good person to start with. we handed over the nation to at that, that nation to the taliban and we gave them all of our best equipment to do it. will: yeah. turning now, though to a murder mystery with a new twist a

through on parole authority if someone wants to leave a base, fort mccoy, if you have the parole authority you can leave at anytime. rachel: senator ted cruz has been raising alarms about this, some of these afghani young girls have come over are child brides. some are married on the way to the airport, on the way by men trying to get in. this is really some troubling stuff. i want you to take a listen to general mark milley. he was interviewed by fox's jen griffin and pressed on this concern. let's see what he had to say. reporter: are you comfortable enough vet something being done before the evacuees are brought to the u.s.? >> if the individual, if the evacuee has some sort of derogatory information, something suspect at all, it will pop up as red or yellow. they have popped up about 30,000 or so people through here, the processed about 30,000 people through here and they have had i think, i think they said a
3:47 am
couple hundred or something like that have popped red. once the individual comes out as red, something is up then they go into an individual room, they start interviewing with fbi, cid, "ncis," those sorts of folks. they work through whatever the issues were. in many cases they end up getting cleared. in others we take further measures. but i'm very comfortable that you know these folks are being properly cleared you there the fbi. rachel: general milley says he is very comfortable with the vetting process. you are not. >> no. they're using the parole authority, not the special i am my visa process. if you remember couple weeks ago the state department has been quoted in the major media that the evacuees as they were coming out of afghanistan, out of kabul, the state department was saying, just get them on the planes. we'll worry or we'll sort the immigration process out later.
3:48 am
remember in the first three months of this year over 80% of the sivs were being rejected. over 80%. that is when there was a government in afghanistan. rachel: no. it us absolutely astounding. we have americans stranded. we have some interpreters, including interpreter who saved joe biden's life stranded in afghanistan. meanwhile we have people here that we have no idea who they are. so let's talk really quickly what's the answer. is it they should be in a third, another country, maybe somewhere in the region, we should vet them there? we just heard reports yesterday from a general saying they're building eight small cities on our u.s. bases to house all the afghanis coming over right now? >> stop the in flights until this is fixed. until people are going through the special immigration visa process. a thorough vetting sometimes takes over a year. stop the in flights until that happens in a safe third country.
3:49 am
what is happening right now, rachel, the state department is running a human trafficking ring as you alluded to at the top of this segment. rachel: why are they doing this? is this deliberate or just incompetence? >> so having been down to the border twice this year, the southern border, having been in panama at the end of may where the panamanian government saying stop the pipeline going to the united states, it is clear that secretary mayorkas and biden administration, they're just waiving people through on parole. i believe this is deliberate. otherwise why would you do this? why would you circumvent the siv process. rachel: sounds like electoral process benefits perhaps for them in the future. thank you so much, congressman tiffany. appreciate your perspective. >> good to be here this morning, rachel. rachel: coming up a nine-year-old is raising money to help his community buy a new fire truck. he will join us live on his

4:02 am
exclusive interview, not just lawrence's issue with spicy food, jennifer griffin did an interview with general mark milley and the lessons learned. he says they were not properly designed to secure that nation. listen to the revelation. >> the army itself, army and police forces were mirror imaged in the same ways. we developed forces that looked like western forces. one of the big lessons here maybe those forces were not designed appropriately for the right mission. collapse of the afghan army happened much faster rate and unexpected by pretty much everybody. with that is the collapse of the afghan government. afghanistan is always a difficult issue. one of the fundamental issues, i think clearly is corruption in the government, the legitimacy of the government.
4:03 am
the government itself not having the legitimacy in the eyes of the people. you saw what happened at the end of the senior government elites, they all literally bugged out. rachel: how about corruption in our government? 20 years to figure out that this strategy wasn't working? how much our hard-earned tax dollars went to that? now to funding the taliban, the lives and treasures that were lost? by the way he is not telling the truth in the interview where he says this was unexpected. there are reports as far as back as may, that intelligence was warning the administration and the military this was not going to hold up. now maybe it went from three weeks to a collapse to 11 days, i don't know, but they all knew and joe biden knew and lied to the american people when he said he had no idea that the taliban was going to fall. there is mark milley you know, backing up the president and his lies we now know are lies from a phone call. will: exactly my takeaway. first of all if the
4:04 am
retrospective is that it turns out the afghan army was just flawed in its design maybe that was a revelation you could have had before a 20-year project. i think you did have that revelation before the 20 year project ended. lawrence: bingo. will: you're exactly right, rachel, something they knew that would happen. matter of degree, maybe matter of marginal degree on which it would collapse. they knew it would collapse, made a calculated effort and decision to withstand or tolerate that collapse, and the reason is because they believed in type of chaos or negative fallout could be blamed on the previous administration. they believed the political buck could be passed. rachel: you're right. lawrence: degree or philosophy, all right? when you realize your philosophy, would i give them if they went into the experiment, somewhere down the road about 20 years, okay we have to reverse course. we'll not be able to train the
4:05 am
forces which they were training. they were no match for the taliban without u.s. sport. if they decide to make a u-turn saying let's abandon ship that would be one thing. but they decided not to do that. number two you say what you would do differently would you do this again? seems like this was philosophy of the american military, not the rank-and-file soldiers but the military complex, the hawks, they want to nation-build. it is kind of hard to nation-build with a philosophy in afghanistan. these, i'm not trying to be rude but there was only a certain segment of the men willing to fight. a lot of them didn't want to fight. they didn't. the ones willing to fight, they just left. when your president decide to leave its own country, that tells you what you're dealing with afghanistan. rachel: a lot of this happened because there was an arbitrary deadline. joe biden is kind of known for wanting big moments and you know thought, 9/11, let's get out
4:06 am
before 9/11, i could have the big ceremony on 9/11 how we got out of afghanistan. now look here we are on the eve of 9/11 what a weird 20 year anniversary we'll have. joey jones says we're less safe than we were 20 years ago. >> i understand the threat that we bat away every single day in this country. having been a tech, read in, top secret clearance, seeing threats wee thwarted over the last 20 years i understand exactly the threat is, how hard we work for security and intelligence gathered for that. rachel: and? >> and see dod saying hopefully we'll work with the taliban and that would stop them from -- >> do you expect to see something here? >> i don't think we're any safer today than we were yesterday.
4:07 am
>> okay. are we safer today than we were 20 years ago? >> not at all. will: something we heard from general milley from the clip we played earlier in the conversation with jennifer griffin. lawrence, i struggle with something you said, did they want to fight? i hear people like lara logan, these afghans have been fighting for two decades but they have been fighting for generations. this is a culture used to the fight. the calculation they made they didn't have the backing in the end of the united states government. the military was designed to need air support from the united states of america. once more they asked themselves what were they fighting for? they were fighting for a false government they didn't believe in, to your point, a government that fled on a moment as notice. what these soldiers, listening to people like lara logan said, they made a very, very calculated decision based upon self-interest. those guys over there are dedicated to this fight, pointing at the taliban and they look like they're going to win.
4:08 am
meanwhile i'm fighting with these guys who have said they're leaving. they said they're on their way out. i will be left with a shadow fake government that doesn't really stand for anything. so they made a decision that can be understood. you and i had this conversation off-camara. lawrence: all the time. will: i don't want to belabor this to a 10 minute debate i traveled the path on this issue. i believe the american public has been presented a false choice. do we want to be in afghanistan? the vast majority of americans say we don't want to be. nobody wants to be in the process of nation-building. what about leaving 2500 troops left behind to we have a way to fight terrorism, so joey jones is correct. it would be nice if he were not that we would be safer today. i travel ad path on this where we did leave a vacuum over there that did not have to be left but we didn't have to commit all the way to a jeffersonnian demock
4:09 am
sieve nations. lawrence: when we left, there would be a vacuum. that is how ideology works. got taliban, al qaeda, got isis. as you leave there will be something will be there forever. will: we've had troops in japan, south korea, germany. lawrence: i agree. rachel: i grew up in the bases in europe. there is a third way. i think you're right, will, that is the third way. the worst part about this for me, besides the death of 13 men, by the way hundreds of afghanis as well injured and killed in the explosion, innocent people, most of them, not only we have more than a vacuum, we've actually armed the taliban to the tune, exactly of 80 some billion dollars worth of u.s. technology and weapons. representative claudia tenney, she is from new york, here is what she had to say about that, she tweeted out joe biden is career politician who only ever worked in d.c.
4:10 am
for the rest of us we're responsible for the equipment we use at work. if we lose it we pay for it. biden lost 85 billion in military equipment. then left for vacation. congress must hold him accountable. that is actually true. as a congressman, my husband, if he lost his computer, he left congress, he had to account for every computer, every device. that is our money. that is our enemy. lawrence: if troop loses its gear, they're accountable for it. they're punished. unacceptable they have a standard for the rank-and-file people but the u.s. military can do whatever they want and there be no accountability. >> at very least he should be asked directly by the media about that. i haven't heard anybody ask him about it. lawrence: of course not. will: turn to this story portland, city of portland will ban all products from the state of texas. look at this. the ban will be in effect until the state of texas withdraws the unconstitutional ban on abortion or until it is overturned in
4:11 am
court. the portland city council stands all people should have the right to choose carry a pregnancy, that the decisions they make are complex, difficult, unique untheir circumstances. i don't know first of all logistically how portland goes about banning products from the state of texas. i don't know secondarily, clearly is it not in the interest -- good luck living without texas petroleum, texas whatever. by the way we didn't bring this up earlier, i don't think it is legal. violation of the interstate commerce clause. how one government can ban products from another government. lawrence: can we applaud their consistency. they're not from womb to the tomb. they provide mead dells for people there. provide zones for people to commit murders by the way unsolved. there has been no accountability. number two, i kind of like this movement, like, i'm really sick to all the liberals moved to texas.
4:12 am
if this is problem for you, pack up, leave. i worry about the state. we invite all of them to come in. will: these are people in portland. lawrence: doesn't matter, all these companies are making a decision. rachel: they're not only ones. will: companies are saying if texas will be this way, okay, fine. if you want higher taxes leave. will: some companies moved to texas all going to go? lawrence: lyft, apple, uber are speaking up about it now. rachel: they're getting involved which is fascinating. you and i and pete and lawrence, we've all talked about this cultural secession that is naturally happening in the united states, this economic secession, they're putting their stake in the ground, if you're pro-life, we're not doing business with you or we'll do this to you. maybe it is time for republicans, for conservatives, for pro-lifers to go we're going to have our own, our own thing. will: huge entrepreneurial opportunity.
4:13 am
rachel: totally agree. you interviewed abby johnson from planned parenthood, she talked about the potential for boycotts across america on this abortion law. >> if they don't want our petroleum products, if they don't want our computer products, if they don't want our cotton, if they don't want those sorts of things, that's fine but it would be to their detriment. these threats are absolutely ridiculous. if hollywood elites, if the liberals think that we texans are going to be intimidated by their ridiculous threats, they clearly don't understand texans and they don't understand the texas spirit. there are people who believe in protecting the sanctity of innocent human life far more than we are concerned about goods and services. rachel: correction. she is a former planned parenthood manager. famously left that organization after she witnessed what they actually do behind closed doors. lawrence: you saw the texas swagger. rachel: i like that. will: double down on.
4:14 am
that is how we believe, if you don't like texas way, we're not begging you to enjoy freedom. leave. rachel: begging you to enjoy freedom. i love it. all right. well now, to some fox weather. recovery efforts are underway in several states following hurricane ida. 65 people are now confirmed dead nationwide from the south to the northeast. lawrence: fox weather multimedia journalist robert ray is live in new orleans as hundreds of thousands of people in the state swelter through days without power. robert, is it getting any better? reporter: right now it is hard to see a silver lining. in new orleans at least in parts of the city there is power but you know it is hard to believe, it has been a week since those 150 mile-an-hour winds sweeped into the state of louisiana making hurricane ida the fifth largest, strongest hurricane to ever hit mainland u.s. a. unfortunately 16 people lost

they need know how to identify it and need to use our laws, the constitution and fight legality and constitutionality of critical race theory because it is not constitutional to treat people differently, to discriminate against them. we have civil rights laws in place. they protect white people as well as black people. they protect males and females and the parents, they are pushing back. they need to push back. they're organizing that is important, to organize across racial, ethnic and political lines. it affects every americans, every american. it is a civil rights issue. i think it is the civil rights issue of our time. rachel: i couldn't agree with you more and i couldn't agree with you more on your first point which is the first step is to get informed. by the way i've been to schools where i interviewed the principals and brought up crt, they say, oh, that is just dog
4:35 am
whistle, that is not really happening that is fox news. that is what they do, try to gas light you, that you're crazy or radical when you bring up the subject when we all know it is happening. sometimes you said it is built into the curriculum, especially in this post-george floyd world we're in. i want to talk to you a little bit one school district is doing. the mars area in pennsylvania. the school board there added with the direction of the parents of course they added pate tritism to the district -- patriotism to the district curriculum. to display the american flags in all buildings, athletic facilities, each classroom, providing opportunity for everyone to recite the pledge of allegiance daily whether in person or remote. play the national anthem before all home games, promote civility and decency in the treatment of others, respect free speech, conscience, religious liberty, rights of all students and
4:36 am
employees. again, simple, so important, because in many of these schools, carol, i don't have to tell you the pride flag is displayed more prominently than the american flag. we need something to unite around. diversity is good, we have to talk about what we have in common which is our patriotism, our love of country, this beautiful place we live in. >> i agree 100% and there are schools pushing back against the 1619 curriculum. they're embracing 177unites, teaching of true american history, the teaching of the civil rights movement where americans came together no, we'll not condone racial discrimination or sex discrimination. that is what we need more schools to do, and more parents and policymakers to stand up against racially discriminatory treatment of our children. rachel: all right. carol swain, thanks so much for joining us this morning.

5:03 am
folks x they work through whatever the issues were. in many of the cases, they end up getting cleared. in others we have to take further measures. but i'm very comfortable that, you know, these folks are being properly cleared through the fbi. lawrence: guys, real quickly, i just returned from fort lee, that's the number one place where they're processing these refugees. the people that are processing them are military wives, giving them all the resources -- they were under the impression that the majority of the people that are coming there are the people that helped us in afghanistan. we know now -- or have the visas. with we know that's not the case right now. there's a lot of deception. rachel: absolutely. and a lot of americans are angry about that, because they were under the impression that the afghanis were under some sort of process, that they were going to be those who helped us. representative tom tiffany from

bringing those people and their abusers here as well. a lot of deep concerns not to mention that even the interpreter who saved joe biden's life is trapped in afghanistan, and we have people here who have no visas. will: it's one heck of an operation. you saw in the background of that interview with general milley, you saw the tents and the facility being set up. that's at ramstein air force base in germany, so there is a situation where we are using third countries, but we reported yesterday those same types of facilities are being built across america as well. and you look at general milley, and it sounds like a good process. it sounds like, you know, with the iris scanning and the biometrics and popping up red and how we vet these individuals, let's just hope that's true, hope that's the case. state department said this to "fox & friends" about the vetting process, intelligence, law enforcement and counterterrorism specialists are conducting security and vetting for all siv applicants and
5:06 am
vulnerable afghans, we are surging resources to process these as efficiently as possible to protect homeland security. rachel: people are not feeling very confident though. i mean, these are the same people who couldn't predict that the afghan army was going to collapse, the same people who allowed, by the way, general milley himself said we don't need bagram air base to secure the evacuation or the drawdown of afghanistan. so many mistakes made, not the least of abandoning a all of our weapons and arming the taliban to the tune of $80 billion. so i kind of lack a little confidence in our institutions including our military which pains me as a -- lawrence: i think you make an interesting point because i think when it comes to securing the country, the biden administration doesn't have the best track record. we have photos of angel -- who -- a lad or at the border.
5:07 am
i mean, i don't understand. we see photo after photo, this is why the american people are skeptical when they say they can process them correctly and make sure americans are safe. we saw that ladder, i know when i was at the border, we saw a tunnel where there were 13 chinese nationals that a made their way, all the way from china, made it to the border and got across. this is story after story that's happening at the border. will: yeah. look at this cover of the thy post, borderline crazy, biden's forgotten crisis. inside, a new york post reporter went on an exclusive ride-along with border control and witnessed this crisis firsthand, said the following: since the biden administration eased restrictions at the border earlier this year, federal agents have seen a surge of illegal immigrants with dramatic increases in single adults, unaccompanieded children and members of, quote, transnational criminal organizations. crossings are still as high as ever, it's a crisis that biden
5:08 am
is either ignoreing or doesn't care is happening. rachel: well, the other option, he's either ignoring, doesn't care or it's by design. and that's what i believe. in fact, when i asked in our previous story, when i asked the congressman from wisconsin if he thought what was happening on the afghan vetting process, he said, yeah, i think this is deliberate. i think at the border it is too. we have nearly a quarter million illegals coming across the border, we're facilitating that, we're actually using our tax dollars to send them in the interior of the country, often into politically advantageous states that might help the democrat party down the road. so there's a lot of questions about what's going on. our borders are open at the same time that we also have general milley in that interview saying we expect terrorism because of what's happening in afghanistan, isis, al-qaeda and taliban working together he said within the next year or two, we expect a surge in terrorism at the same
5:09 am
time that the border is open. lawrence: yeah. and the border agents that are responsible to do their jobs no matter what are being left behind, and they're not being told what to do, they're not giving resources. we've talked about, you know, securing the border, but when they stopped doing the border wall, they stopped giving them the tools, the technology and all that stuff? that was all at one time. >> what's really shameful is the biden administration has made their job which was already dangerous much more dangerous. border patrol says 40-50% of their manpower is no longer on the line, they're processing units, taking care of them, it means your backup may be 20 minutes away, now a half hour, 40 minutes away, and the cartels know this. will: job gets harder and harder as you can see from those pictures we showed you this morning. rachel: yeah. the biden administration has
5:10 am
doubled down on the root cause narrative that they have, so they've given another $4 billion to central america. basically, nation building, all the things they said they don't want to do in afghanistan, they're doing that now in central america. i spoke with a sheriff yesterday who said, boy, our border patrol, our sheriffs could use those resources. complete the wall, give us the resources we need. we also know people are dying because border patrol is processing, they're processing people and unable to save many, they're understaffed, and people are dying in the desert and not getting rescued the way maybe they would have in the past. there's just not enough people. will: that practice remains despite the fact that our attention is turned elsewhere. turning now to your headlines, early this morning deputies coming under fire in lakeland, florida. little details are known at this time, the sheriff's office says the deputies were respond dog a report of gunshots and were attacked when they got near the home. they were not hurt and one person was taken into custody.

♪ rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends." the debate over whether to mask kids in schools is heating up as millions of students head back to class and a new survey shows the battle is pushing democrats to support school choice with 82% backing the use of tax funds for private education when districts don't require masks. corey deangelis is director of research at the american federation for children, the group behind that study, and he joins us now. corey, thanks for joining us this morning. this is fascinating. so parents are very divided on whether to mask their kids, a lot of democrats saying i want my kid to go to a school that has masks, conservative parents saying i don't want my kids to wear that obedience mask, but
5:20 am
they're coming together on the solution which is to attach the money to the child and not the system. explain. >> yeah, exactly. i mean, this past year has really exposed the problems with the one-size-fits-all government school system, and families are starting to figure out there isn't any good reason to fund failing institutions when you can fund students directly instead. there's another recent poll actually finding an 11 percentage point jump in support for school choice or what i would call funding students, not systems, over the past year with 70% of democrats now supporting educational freedom. and, look, really all of these fights that we've seen over the past year whether it comes to school reopenings, the mask debate or critical race theory in the classroom, these are all just symptoms of the larger problem which is the one-size one-size-fits-all government system. families are figuring out that
5:21 am
the best way is to have the funding follow the child to wherever they're getting the education. that could be the public schools, if that works best for you, you should be able too old that, but it's not in states like and florida if you disagree with the masking rules or covid restrictions, you can take your children's education dollars to a private school. so is hopefully more and more statements move in this direction to allow for more freedom instead of force. rachel: yeah. or use it to home school your child. arizona, florida, these are conservative states, no surprise they're on the forefront of this innovative, i think, education liberty movement. but what if you're living in a blue state and you -- as you can see, there's definitely democrat support for this. what are practical ways that we can make these poll numbers, this support turn into something tangible, a law that actually gives parents their tax dollars
5:22 am
back so they can make these decisions for their families? >> yes. i will say over the past year most of the victories have been in more of the red states, 18 or 19 statements now have passed bills this year in particular -- we're calling it the year of school choice, 2021. and the great part about it is it's mostly the teachers unions' own fault for overplague their own hand -- overplaying their own hand. we should really send a thank you letter to randi weingarten for expanding educational freedom although inadvertently. but in blue states, you could make the case this should not be a partisan issue. this please to more equity -- leads to more equity, it leads to more competition in the educational marketplace. it's a win-win situation except for when you start to think about the politics of the, and the power dynamics of the teachers unions. what's interesting is a lot of people who support funding students directly for higher education with pell grants and
5:23 am
the g.i. bill or with pre-k programs such as the federal head start program, they only oppose it when it comes to the in-between years of k-12 education, choices and norms for higher education and pre-k and just about any other industry in the united states, but choice threatens that entrenched special interest that would otherwise profit from getting children's education dollars regardless of how well they do. and what we've seen over the past year, regardless of whether they even open their doors for business. but in california, for example, a blue state, they have two ballot initiatives that they're putting to the vote for the people to take their $13-14,000 that the public schools spend per student to a private or home school if the families see that to be the best option. so i think that's a feasible alternative in states like california too. rachel: yeah. there's hope out there and definitely, you're right, the unions were exposed, and they are the obstacle to freedom for education for millions of

5:31 am
todd simon if, welcome to the show. tell us what omaha steaks is doing to help in this effort. >> well, you know, at omaha steaks serving others and bringing people together has always been at the core of who we are whether in our own community or in communities around the country. and is we've got a long history of supporting food security through relationships with food banks and partnerships with national organizations like mercy chefs who's on the ground right now in new orleans helping out. so we knew that it wasn't, you know, it wasn't if, it was when there was going to be a disaster, so we had arranged, pre-arranged with mercy chefs to be able to provide whatever they needed. and so right now our latest shipment is 8,000 steaks -- rachel: wow. >> -- as well as beef jerky, and it's part of keeping this commitment. last year's hurricanes we did tens of thousands of pounds of steaks through mercy chefs and salvation army, and so we're just continuing that tradition this year, and we want to be there to help.
5:32 am
lawrence: todd, we love how you empower people already on the ground, giving them support that they need. what can people in the audience do to help you guys out? >> well, i think they really have to engage on the ground, as you heard in the previous segment and you heard what the governor said. it's super important for the people who are there to help out with their neighbors, to get involved with the local organizations that are on the ground whether it's, whether it's in food or whether it's in rescue or whether it's just providing logistical support. it's so often when these things happen around the country, we see the local communities band together, stick together and help each other out, and we're seeing that now with the help of organizations like mercy chefs and the other organizations like ours that are helping donate food and other supplies. we can do as much as we can, and our hearts really go out to the people of new orleans and the region right now. will: i mow it's the second time -- i know it's the second time you partnered up with mercy chefs, feeding america where

his chaotic evacuation, but as the fall of kabul strikes a parallel with the fall of saigon in 1975, what lessons, if any, have been learned since then? joining us now is retired lieutenant colonel oliver north and dr. jerry davis, author of "vietnam 101." gentlemen, thank you so much for being with us this morning. colonel north, tell me what parallels you see. joe biden has been drawing parallels for quite some time now between kabul and saigon. what parallels do you see? >> yeah, will. what we're seeing, of course, is a repeat of what happened in saigon in may of 1975. and having spent a good part of my youth learning how to be a commander, it's heartbreaking to see the same thing repeated here. didn't have to be. there's a parallel in that vietnam we won a lot of ballots, but we still lost -- battles, but we still lost the war which
5:41 am
is why dr. davis' book is so important. everybody in this white house, everybody in this administration if, the pentagon, the state department ought to be the reading this book because what dr. davis has done is paid tribute to those of us who served there. 2.7 million of us, most of us the sons and daughters of the greatest generation, we served in vietnam, but when we came home, there were no victimly parades, not even so much -- victory parades if, not even so much as a thank you. dr. davis has not only written a great book, but it's also the kind of thing that led to resolution that's going to be introduced in the house of representatives by a brave veteran of this war and, thankfully, it's going to be the kind of thank you we should have gotten years ago. will: dr. davis, let's talk about your book, "vietnam 101." it's interesting to i think of the parallels only as a retrospective, what lessons can we learn. but looking forward, right, the

the way vietnam veterans were treated when they came back to america, lieutenant colonel north just mentioned, what can we do with our soldiers coming back from afghanistan, how to deal with this situation going forward. >> i think one thing that we've learned from the vietnam war is that the way we treated the military when they came home was not right. and we have some unfinished business. with concern we need to communicate to these veterans and their families the true feelings of america, and i think the best in america has come out recently by all the kind words and support we've given to the, those coming back from afghanistan. and we think that that's very important. we think the veterans need to hear directly from the people.
5:43 am
and we propose for a resolution which i mention in the book that a formal apology be given to these people by the congress on behalf of the people of the united states to indicate that we appreciate their service. there's no way in the world that it was right to treat your own sons and daughters upon their return from war by throwing feces and urine and blood and cursing them and treating them like the enemy. that was wrong. and so we propose a nonpartisan resolution. this is not about politics. it's not partisan at all. it's about principle. it's about patriotism. it's about duty. it's about honor. all those traditional things that made america great. and so we hope that the public
5:44 am
will rise up and join us in insisting that this resolution be passed by the congress, and we have a booklet called why vietnam still matters. it does matter because these veterans have been left with a cloud hanging over their head, and we ought to correct that. and if you'll go to the college of the ozarks web site, then i'll be glad to send you a copy of the resolution, and you can read the resolution, and is you will understand why this is so important. it must be done before it's too late. will: we talk so much about mental health and depression, suicide rates of veterans, and i think an undersold stat on that that not many people realize still a majority of those are vietnam veterans. not only should we not perpetuate the same mistakes we made back then, but we should correct those mistakes today. colonel north, dr. dais, thank

this was, by the way, as he took off on vacation to delaware. congressman? >> well, the evacuation's not over, mr. president. there's still americans stuck, siv holders and green cardholders that right now, as we speak, veterans groups are still trying to help get out. they're trapped at the airport, in the vicinity of airports around afghanistan. you know why? because the state department won't give the proper clearances for these private chartered flights to get out. and in the few instances where they have, then the taliban won't let them go. you know what that's called? that's called a hostage. rachel: right. >> and we are heading into a mass hostage situation where the taliban has all the leverage to get international legitimacy, access to billions in foreign currency and economic assistance. and we handed them that legitimacy on a silver platter in the form of -- lawrence: congressman --
6:03 am
>> -- that joe biden left behind. it's unforgivable and unconscionable. and the other piece is this war isn't over. it's now been extended. al-qaeda is going to come roaring back. general milley said that just yesterday, that it's not a matter of if, but when. so that means we're still going to have to deal with this either in the homeland or when troops have to go back. lawrence: congressman, my apologies for interrupting, but i want to dig deeper. why isn't the state department giving access for private charters to come there and do the job? we understand they're not going to go get our people, we've accepted that. so special forces, why aren't they granting them access to to depart? >> you know, it's really unclear. i think they really want to focus on this pathway with the taliban reopening kabul international airport and then working through countries like qatar because we have no
6:04 am
diplomatic presence, we have no troop presence now to help people get out. you know, these countries where these planes will land just want assurance that the state department's going to take care of the issue with these planeloads of people when they land, so they have to proactively engage and get that assurance, and then they have to inform the taliban these planes are cleared to land. so it's a multiple step process, but the state department should be working in concert with these groups. they should be working in a public/private partnership with them. these are chartered flights that donors have stepped up, veterans are coordinating, congressional offices are helping with, and this should be, this should be a cooperative, collaborative effort. instead, we're having to fight through our own government to get americans out. rachel: wow. will: yeah. you've heard that report from numerous sources, the state department has actively stepped in the way of these private groups expoing people from afghanistan. you brought up a couple of moments ago general milley and his prediction that we're going
6:05 am
to see a resurgence in terror, that this war is not over. listen to what he had to say really quickly. >> reporter: is the u.s. safer today since the u.s. has withdrawn from afghanistan? >> well, you know, this is something that i've thought a lot about, and i personally think that the conditions are likely to develop of a civil war. i don't know if the taliban is going to be able to consolidate power and establish a government. maybe, maybe not. but i think there's at least a very good probability of a broader civil war, and that will then in turn lead to conditions that could, in fact, lead to reconstitution of al-qaeda or a growth of isis or other myriad terrorist groups. so i think the short answer to your question is we don't know yet, but the conditions are very likely, in my opinion, that -- and i testified this and i've said it in public -- that you could see a resurgence of
6:06 am
terrorism coming out of that general region within 12, 24, 36 months. will: you know, congressman, we can revisit the decision that was made, we've had a little bit of a conversation here on-set this morning. i think americans were presented a false choice, stay or go, build a jeffersonian democracy or get all the way out, one or the other. we had left 2500 troops, no servicemen lives lost in the past 18 months. now what do we do in the future? how do we insure we we don't end up in the place we were on september 10, 2001? >> well, you know, that's not just general milley's opinion or my opinion that al-qaeda's coming back, that's biden's own intelligence agencies have been saying that for the entire time of his administration, that al-qaeda and the taliban are married at the hip, the number two of the taliban is al-qaeda, a thug by the name of this haqqani. so if that's your premise, that
6:07 am
it's not a matter of if but when, what is the long-term counterterrorism plan? there are pockets of resistance still fighting north of kabul, and this administration is doing nothing to help them. so, you know, imagine -- we had to go back after iraq when we completely pulled out of iraq are, the rise of the isis caliphate, we had to send our soldiers back in. imagine if we had to do that without the kurds, without any allies on the ground, without any base? that's the situation our future soldiers are going to face in a year, two or three if general milley's predictions are correct. so we should be, number one, supporting the humanitarian corridor, we should be supporting the constitutional, democratically-elected government that was just overthrown led by vice president sale, we should work with regional actors like the indians who want to push humanitarian
6:08 am
aid into this pocket, and this is a sanctuary for women, for minority, for americans that were left behind and that are still willing to stand up and resist what is becoming a terrorist mega-state armed with our weapons, with international legitimacy and with billions of dollars of currency. we should still be resisting that because eventually that cancer is going to spread and come bite us back here at home. rachel: so you're speak about the resistance, i've heard reports, congressman, that the taliban has cut off internet technology for them, they're already using our weapons. what is the hope for that resistance? can they actually -- i mean, realistically, i think it's time we all just speak very realistically in terms of what's already happened. is this a false hope that they can actually take over this country, or is there something that our government can do to reinforce them? >> well, it is dire.
6:09 am
i won't sugar coat the situation. the taliban know that this is, you know, this is the final resistance and that if they take this area and this group in the pansheer, they will have complete and total domination, and they are launching an all-out assault before they can generate any international support. but biden has to make a decision, is he going to support the rule of law, a democratically-developedded constitution and an elected leadership that stood and fight, that did not flee, or is he going to go down this disastrous slippery slope of trying to cooperate with a terrorist regime -- lawrence: what is he doing now, congressman? >> biden's own administration has said the taliban equals al-qaeda. lawrence: what is he doing now? >> and they all came to attack the west -- lawrence: what is he doing now, congressman? because i'm a little confused. he said that the afghan government is our friend, right?
6:10 am
but the taliban, it's getting orders from the taliban. so who does the united states recognize as the legitimate government of afghanistan? >> well, they should recognize vice president sale, mr. massoud, the resistance that is still fighting the taliban and establishing a humanitarian corridor to get aid to these people. they are still, under the afghan constitution, the elected leadership. we cannot support a military coup, a violent takeover and walk away from the rule of law and walk away from a constitution that we helped them develop. what message does that send around the world? what message does that send for democracy? because i can tell you, i have ambassador after ambassador in the middle east telling me right now democracy is lost, their recruiting is through the roof, and i had one ambassador ask me who would sign up for team usa
6:11 am
right now with how you treat your allies that have stood and fight for your way of life and for your values for the 20 years? this is a betrayal of the worst kind, and it's abandoning a group of people who stood for what america stands for, and that is going to be damaging for our national security for years and years to come. if. will: congressman michael waltz, appreciate you joining us this morning, giving us that insight. rachel: thank you, congressman. >> thank you. lawrence: turning now to fox weather, a long recovery ahead for millions of people affected by ida. will: more than 600,000 people are still without power in louisiana, and officials say it could be another month before it gets restored. rachel: imagine that. fox weather media journalist robert ray is live in new orleans with the latest. robert, what can we expect to happen in the next few weeks? any hope they could get that power and what they need earlier than a month?
6:12 am
>> reporter: well, we hope that officials will make that happen and the power company here in new orleans. they're going to have power restored, we're told, by midweek, wednesday or thursday. but, yeah, the surrounding areas, unfortunately, we're seeing until the end of the month. and if you look around many of these pockets, still standing water, homes totally destroys 360 degrees. -- destroyed. unfortunately, the power lines, 22,000 power poles have been decimated. that is more than hurricane katrina and zeta combined. this is the fifth strongest storm to ever hit mainland usa, so incredible destruction. yesterday governor edwards tried to make everyone feel a little bit better. let'sen listen. >> i'm asking you to be patient. i'm asking you to be good neighbors to one another. and i know that you will be, you always are. louisianians are nothing if not faithful and resilient.
6:13 am
>> reporter: 16 deaths across the south, that includes in the states of louisiana, alabama and mississippi. unfortunately, 5 of them from a nursing home where hundreds of elderly were evacuated to a temporary shelter which was a warehouse. conditions were not great, so the coroner's office and other officials looking into exactly what happened there. in the meantime, people in the southern area of louisiana are dealing with long fuel lines, food shortages, a lack of water, clearly no power and heat and humidity as the sun has come up here, and you just feel it. you sort of the stress that everyone is going through down here, guys. will: robert ray, thank you so much. lawrence: thank, robert. rachel: great reporting. will: fox weather is coming in october, so be on the lookout for that. rachel: turning now to your headlines starting with a fox news alert. early this morning deputies coming under fire in lakeland, florida. little details are known at this time, but earlier several police cars and ambulances were parked
6:14 am
near the scene. the sheriff's office says the deputies were responding to a report of gunshots and is were attacked when they got near a home. they were not hurt and one person was taken into custody. a prominent south carolina attorney shot in the head three months after his wife and son were killed. alex murdaug health care's attorney says he was shot on a back road. he's conscious and speaking and is expected to recover. police, however, have not named a suspect yet. there are still -- there still have not been any arrests in the shooting deaths of his wife maggie and his son, paul. at the time of his death, paul was awaiting trial for a 2019 boat crash that left one person dead. sad news here in the fox family, dana perino announces the tragic loss of her dog jasper. perino posted this photo of

mark, thank you so much for coming on the program. condolences to your family. i know every time this issue comes up, you guys have to relive it. your daughter was abducted, she was strangled, and then you guys have to find out that now the governor may allow this guy to walk? what are your thoughts? >> my thoughts. well, listen, this is something that i live with every day. i mean, that's the nature of a violent murder in the family. it's not something that ever disappears. my thoughts are very clear. i mean, this guy and the other 735 characters on death row are there for a very specific reason, because they're among the worst killers that exist in our society. in california -- have killed more than a thousand people including 229 kids and 43 police officers. these are mass shooters, spree killers, cop killers, serial
6:22 am
killers, they're psychopasts and sadists who rape, torture and murder their victims, even little girls. so these guys have gone through the system, and they have been sentenced to death. and the whole idea of governor newsom to declare a moratorium based on his thought that he doesn't want to be the governor to execute a person a day for two years which was never in the cards at any level and his thought that there are at least 30 innocent people on california's death row when even his predecessor or who's very anti-death penalty said there are no innocent people on death row, it, it throws shade on anybody that's invested in this, anybody that has a child or a relative that was murdered by one of these key people. he's giving them the reprieve that they never gave their victims. lawrence: marc, you know, i want to be careful, but this scumbag

6:24 am
for their behavior -- lawrence: there's no account. >> they're being regurgitated through a turnstile system of justice that lets them escalate the nature of their crimes until you find a situation like polly's where we wanted to put a stop to that and we did put a stop to that because of various things that were done over the course of a decade or so. things like the three strikes and you're out act or the violent crime and enforcement act of 1994 that put 100,000 cops on the streets. we were able, ultimately, to cut crime in california and in the united states by 50%. so the point that crime was no longer the number one issue on people's minds. lawrence: it's out of control. the criminals think they can do anything. steal under $1,000, you can get away with it in california. you can commit murder. that's why the governor's being

such, you know, a high stakes environment on an international stage was really just so amazing. will: you know, randy and michelle, i said in your introduction that you were watching from thousands of miles away. i don't think that was completely accurate because what i read about your story is you were having to refresh the results page. you didn't have a live stream. tell me if that's correct. the guy who's away from his kids, obviously not at the paraolympics level, it's excruciating to not see what's going on. tell me what that was like. >> pretty frustrating. we didn't have a direct feed at the very beginning. it was just based on as we'd see results they were on the long jump. we were watching that. it's good stuff to watch but, man, sure would rather be watching my kid high jump at the time. we probably missed about the first 20 minutes, a couple of guys were out of the competition before our feed became active.

father-in-law's administration. how are you, how are they feeling now as they're actually being attacked and that this story, the entire crisis has just been wiped off the news cycle basically, i think, our show is the only one -- our network is the only one doing anything on this story. >> yeah. well, good morning, rachel. you're right. there is a border crisis, might i remind everyone, on our southern border. maybe i should remind most joe biden and our border czar, kamala harris. it is still ongoing. 212,000 apprehensions last month. those numbers go up every single month since january 21st of 2021 when joe biden and kamala harris took office. and, gosh, our border patrol agents, these men and women, i just want to say thank you to them -- rachel: right. >> because, rachel, think about the job they have to do every day. they are not doing the job they trained to do. their job initially was to protect our southern boarder and make sure that people didn't illegal hi cross it, right?
6:39 am
their job now is basically a triage unit. they are processing people into the united states, but more than that, gosh, they are, like are, first responders. you saw them trying to help those people out of a drain in texas. rachel: yeah. >>. they are childcare workers, they're finding children all over the place, having to deal with taking care of them, they are therapists in many respects. these people have seen and witnessed horrific things on their journey to our southern border. and how demoralizing to have an administration that clearly does not care about you, that clearly is happy to put you in danger. we have gang members coming over our southern border, drug cartels and now, i'm sure, terrorists coming over at this point as well because if these people are in harm's way every day. they continue to do an impossible job because they are trying their best to protect america, but they have an administration in charge right now, the biden administration, that doesn't let them do their job, that does not actually let the rule of law apply in this situation because these are
6:40 am
illegal immigrants coming into america that they're supposed to allow in. rachel: right. >> so kudos to our border patrol agents. we support you, we feel for you. sadly, this administration does not. rachel: it is a thankless job, you're so right about that. want to move to a different topic, one that is really hard to hear about. i mean, as you know, we lost 13 heroes in the last week in afghanistan there, and president biden was under a lot of criticism from gold star parents who were offended that he talked more about beau biden than their own sons and daughters who passed away. and the new york times did something they rarely did, they literally reported the story. they had, here's the original headline of the story, biden still grieving son finds that not everyone wants to hear about it. that's pretty much what happened, and that's what the parents of some of these heroes actually said is on our network. well, i guess, lara, that a
6:41 am
bunch of new york times writers were offended that the new york times actually reported the truth, and so then they felt that pressure, and they decided to change their headline, and they changed it to this: in invoking beau, biden -- his presidency. obviously, a much soft iser headline than the original. what do you make of this especially in light of the fact that your father-in-law was never, ever given this kind of treatment? i mean, this is really unprecedented. >> yeah. i can think of a lot of headlines, heck, a lot of stories, rachel, that were just flat out wrong reported by not just "the new york times," but a school of media outlets across america. when did they ever change those for donald trump or for our family? if i'll answer that, they never did. it is such a double standard that this and, gosh, it makes you wonderthey actually did report the truth, which they started to do, you're right there, for just a second, what a
6:42 am
different situation might we be in now as a country, the world as a bigger, you know, example? but, you know, for joe biden, look, it's got to be horrific to ever have to deal with losing a child. no parent should ever have to deal with that. we have 13 sets of parents across america who you just referenced who had to bury their sons and daughters over this past week, and it feels as though it's become sort of a tool for joe biden to talk about his son maybe when he doesn't know what to say -- rachel: right. >> maybe he thinks it'll give him political advantage, but, gosh, he seems to talk about it quite a bit. obviously, it's been a big part of his life, we all understand that but probably the wrong time to discuss it when these families have is just lost their sons and daughters. it sure would be nice if we could get the facts out there from the folks in the main stream media. i won't hold my brent. i think we're going to see -- my

week. in the short term, we've got this one cold front stretching across parts of the country, areas of the northeast are seeing scattered showers. it's not going to be heavy, i just got a text from somebody saying we don't need another drop of rain, it's going to be light. it shouldn't exacerbate any flooding, most of the rivers coming down which is good news. but it's certainly a nuisance for people trying to clean up right now. then we've got the other side of this front cutting across the middle around part of the country. north of it temperatures a little bit cooler, humidity levels also coming down quite a bit. one last thing i'd love to show you, the precipitation this coming week, overall, i tell you what, things looking pretty good. we've had so much rain, getting a little bit of a break here. we will have some showers across the gulf, this time of year if you get any type of tropical system, we want to watch it closely. a few scattered showers that will bring an inch or two across
