making? >> well, they are not clearing the airplanes to depart. they have sat at the airport for the last couple days, these planes, and they're not allowed to leave. we know the reason why, is because the taliban wants something in exchange. herb herb congressman michael mccaul, the top republican on the house foreign affairs committee, leveling serious claims against the taliban. a senior official tells fox news the u.s. cannot verify whether there are americans on those planes. but the biden administration estimates that around 100 americans are still on the ground in afghanistan, and lawmakers on both sides are demanding their safe return. let's bring in congressman greg steube, an iraq war veteran and member of the house foreign affairs and judiciary committees. congressman, thank you so much for being here. i want to begin with what congressman mccaul said and adding -- jennifer if griffin reporting that the u.s. government, officials told her

the u.s. government is trying to figure out who is on those planes. they have no way to verify, verify the manifest. isn't that the heart of the problem? we don't have anyone as these afghan, for sure, maybe americans are still trying to leave. >> yeah. it's a sad day in america when we have americans and sivs that are trying to coordinate with nongovernment agencies and individuals to try to fete out of the country. we -- get out of the country. we know president biden said he wasn't going to leave an american behind and he has, in fact, done that. we have americans on the ground, we have americans that are trying to get out, and why in the world are we surrendering to the taliban, a terrorist organization recognized globally? we should be going in and getting our people out or regardless of how many people there are. we never should have surrendered that air base, never should have left when we left as we still had americans on the ground and sivs that have helped us in this conflict in afghanistan left behind. and this notion that, oh,

there's not americans that want to leave, it's because they don't want to leave their family because the administration's refusing to bring their husband, spouse, wife or children along with them, and that is a travesty of human rights and a disgrace to the american people. alicia: and every day we hear more horrific stories about these sivs, you know, these interpreters that are possibly being taken back to their homes, they're seeing their family completely, all of them, decimated right in front of their eyes before they're killed themselves. and today white house chief of staff ron klain was asked about this on cnn. >> we, there are all kinds of reports coming in. we're in close communication with our sources and contacts in afghanistan to try to get those sivs out, to get them out safely are. i know that some are coming out by land. we are continuing to work on efforts to get them out by air as well. we're going to continue to move those sivs out of the country.

alicia: congressman, if we can't even figure out who's on these six planes, what exactly can the united states do at this point to get those sivs out? >> well, those sources he's referring to are the taliban because, as has been stated, we don't have anybody on the ground anymore. they've taken out all of our assets, all of our intelligence assets, and we don't have military members on the ground anymore, so now we're relying on the taliban and the government to get our people out. of course they're going to have all of these demands on the united states government in order for them to release our people. of course they're going to do that. everybody else in the world knew this. every american knew that if we surrendered to the taliban and left americans behind enemy lines, that the taliban was going to go door the door trying to find them, try to use them as lev rang, use them in -- leverage, use them in any way they can, and that people were going to die. alicia: i want to point to an article in the "wall street journal" really giving a

breakdown of the decision making that was underway when all of this was going on in the biden administration. inside biden's withdrawal plan warnings, doubts but little change. a quote from that article, a state department official defended the administration's performance given, he said, the unare precedented circumstances. unprecedented. quote, if there was an expectation that this team could prevent crisis, that's not how it works, the official said. people will question certain decisions, but the fact is no one has been confronted by a situation like this. congressman, you supported president trump's plan for withdrawal. is it possible that he could have run into a similar is crisis? >> no, because he had a conditions-based withdrawal that the taliban a had to abide by, and they knew if they didn't meet those conditions or did something in violation of those conditions, that there were going to be consequences. urn this administration they know -- under this administration they know they can do whatever they want, and as soon as the biden administration reneged on the agreement that the prior administration had with the taliban, of course they're going

to start taking over land. and this administration saw that happening, did absolutely nothing about it, refused to get our americans out and even knowing that we had americans at the gates -- i mean, you've heard stories. i've read countless stories of americans at the gate who weren't allowed to come in. this administration is doing absolutely nothing about it. and that is a travesty. every service member that served this country knows we don't leave people behind. it's not what our country does, what our country stands for, and more and more people need to be speaking out against the decisions that this administration has done. this is all in the lap of president joe biden. alicia: florida republican congressman greg steube, thank you for your service and today thank you for your time. >> thanks for having me. griff: officials say they're encountering more runners at our southern border, migrants trying to evade agents as they cross illegally into the u.s. chief correspondent jon than hunt is -- jonathan hunt is live

agents. and according to the texas attorney general, with those migrants come a host of problems. listen here. >> we're going to have greater crime problems, we have greater covid problems, we have more fentanyl coming from the chinese across the border, and the cartels are getting stronger and stronger as they get paid by each of these people to come across the boarder and as they get paid to smuggle drugs and people across the boarer. >> reporter: -- border. >> reporter: and just to focus for a moment on the human toll of this, take a look at this video. of this was the scene as border patrol agents and the medical examiner recovered the body of a woman who had crossed the rio grande. she was intercepted with a group by agents. she then ran but she ran straight back across a dropoff next to the river. she hit her head according to the agent on a large piece of wood as she went down. she died on the spot there, griff. obviously, a sign of the desperation so many people

is recovering after being shot at least once in the head according to south carolina's law enforcement division. this all unfolding around 1:40 saturday afternoon on a rural road just west of charleston in south carolina and multiple outlets being told murdaugh was traveling to charleston when he had car issues. the 53-year-old was fixing a flat tire when a truck drove past. someone inside allegedly shooting the rom innocent south carolina lawyer in the -- prominent south carolina lawyer in a head. he is reportly awake and talking -- reportly. this as state investigators actively probe the murders of murdaugh's wife and son maggie and paul, both found shot to death on the family's property. in this 931 audio -- 911 audio, you hear him discovering the scene.

>> reporter: so far the case has gone unsolved and has raised plenty of questions about the family's ties to local law enforcement. last month the former prosecutor in charge recused himself and said that his longstanding relationship with the murdaughs, a well known family of attorneys, and this double homicide has led police to reopen the investigation into the suspicious 2015 death of a young man named steven smith, a man who also had connections with the murdaugh family. alicia: charles watson in atlanta, thank you. griff? griff: as we mentioned, the shooting of alex murdaugh is just the latest twist in that family's bizarre legal saga which goes back six years and involves four dead bodies and a felony indictment. joining us now is south carolina

defense attorney susan williams. susan, thank you for taking time on this labor day weekend. i first met you when i covered this case back in june, and so no one better to talk to. what can you tell us, what is the latest in the shooting of alex? >> so what we know is that yesterday afternoon alex was shot in the head while changing his tire on a county -- a country road in south carolina. someone from a vehicle passed by him while he was changing the tire, they turned around and came back and opened fire. to one has been arrested, no suspects have been named and, thankfully, alex murdaugh is still alive. griff: and we will see family saying that he is talkative. while we wait for that, sled -- for our viewers, that's the

state fbi -- put out a statement saying no arrests. and if you go back to the double murder in june 7th of maggie and paul murdaugh, they made no arrests, they had no persons of interest, but they reassured the public that there was no cause for alarm that anyone, the shooter was on the loose. they're not doing that this time. did that strike you as interesting? >> it definitely strikes me as interesting because i'm still wondering, are we in danger? the last time we were told that we weren't, we don't have any confirmation at this time, so who knows? griff: susan, now, they also stressed in this statement that they will continue to not do anything that could jeopardize the integrity of this or any potentially related investigation that would violate due process afforded to all under the constitution. let's look at the timeline and look back at the myriad of cases. it goes all the way back to

2015. that is when the body of 19-year-old steven smith was found dead mere this same area -- near this same area. then, of course, march 2019 paul murdaugh driving a boat that resulted in the death of 19-year-old mallory beach. he was then indicted on felony charges of boating under the end 234r50u7bs. then, of course -- influence. then, of course, june 4th you had a court-ordered mediation in paul's case brought for trial. but then if you go with just after that double murder, that tragic double murder of maggie and paul on june 7th, on june 23rd investigators say they're reviewing the 2015 death. ultimately, you see the timeline there. is any or all of this related? >> at this point we don't know. the south carolina law enforcement division has kept things close to the vest, rightfully so. and what i'm wondering here as an attorney, as a south carolina native, was this planned or was

this a random act in and i believe, griff, when you and i spoke not too long ago we were asking ourselves the same thing. we don't have a suspect from the double murders of maggie and paul murdaugh, and we don't have any suspects for the shooting of alex murdaugh. so if it was planned, who -- i would like to know who knew where alex would be. what was alex's last text message? griff: susan, just in the last 30 seconds i've got with you, do you anticipate that the patriarch who, fortunately, is alive and talkative, alex murdaugh, will indeed talk? >> i believe if he gives any statements, he, of course, will have the advice of talented, very competenting legal counsel. so that remains to be seen. griff: susan williams, south

partners. this goes to the heart of what's happening with biden administration. it is facing a major stress test of the biden doctrine, this idea that a we're going to -- this idea that we're going to exit wars without a complete strategy including the humanitarian dimension of removing civilians from basically war zones. there's no answer from the biden administration about how and why this is possible, only the august 31st deadline seems to have been a top priority. that was more of a military decision, not a political, diplomatic or humanitarian one. and so here we are. we're probably going to see more cases like this in the coming weeks and days as the major dimensions that were ignored by the biden a team, as -- biden team as they deliberated on afghanistan become reality. griff: kiron, you talked about

the biden doctrine and what it will be, deeply involved in the evacuation, obviously, the chairman of the joint chiefs, general mark milley, talking to our own jen griffin, our national security correspondent in an exclusive interview. here's a little bit of what general milley had to say. take a listen. >> this has transitioned to a state department mission. there's a varian -- variety of agencies working, and we're going to continue to try to get not only the rest of the american citizens out, but the sivs and other at risk, so this is a long-term effort. griff: now, the diplomatic afghan mission has now relocated to doha, qatar, obviously. it's fully operational, but we have no americans on the ground. part of the reason why we can't confirm the allegations by congressman mccaul. how much more difficult is this situation now to get remaining americans out? >> it's extremely difficult and much of what general milley said was hard to follow giv given the

nature of the problem. it's important to have drones, it's important to have technology, but you can't do everything o the horizon. and that's what we're finding right now. and you can't always rely on regional partners. you need the strength of the u.s. military and diplomatic forces working together. but because we've exited afghanistan, we don't have the basic human intelligence that makes technology precise and makes it work. this is a very difficult problem, you know? the qataris can be a supporter in terms of logistics, but we've lost human and diplomatic capital in afghanistan, and it will be months if not years trying to recover all of our assets. griff: kiron if, no one better to talk to you than you -- to than you. with secretary blinken enroute to doha, officials told me he

will not be meeting with any representatives of the taliban who have yet to form and stand up their government. and my question to you is do we recognize, should we acknowledge this new government from the taliban? >> that's the harder question. it's not one that we actually, i think, want to think about because it's so difficult. and p again, it shows the lack of strategic planning by the biden administration that we don't have a clear pathway to looking at the future kabul government. i don't have the answer to it. it's not one that i would want to have to face right now. they are terrorists, and they continue to be. this notion that they're taliban 2.0, that they will honor women's rights, just look what's happening to those who are stuck on airplanes right now. this doesn't seem like a new, improved, democratic taliban. griff: just 30 seconds left, but folks at the state department

are thinking we're about the way from the u.n. general assembly in new york. would you possibly consider letting taliban representatives come to new york? >> no. that's -- i hope that's very clear. this government has not shown to be a legitimate if government, and we have many more questions about evacuations, about humanitarian concerns that need to be addressed right now. that's another issue for another day. griff: kiron skinner, fox news contributor, thank you very much for your insight and have a great labor day. >> you too. alicia: big names are heading to california including vice president kamala harris as governor gavin newsom tries to fight off a recall campaign. the latest from the west coast next. ♪♪ 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.
