tomorrow night on "special report" we will speak with afghan human rights activist who lives in the u.s. but was trapped in afghanistan as the taliban took over. thank you for watching special report. it's been a pleasure mike emanuel in washington. i will see you back here tomorrow, have a great night. ♪ ♪ >> good evening and welcome to "fox news primetime." i'm rachel campos duffy and the saturday marks 20 years since the tragic attack of september 11. i'm following the darkest days in our history, america vowed to punish those responsible. >> i can hear you. the rest of the world hears you you and the people -- [cheers and applause] -- and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear

all of us soon. >> rachel: yet after two decades at the measurable treasurer, the taliban now controls more territory in afghanistan than before and 9/11, leaving those to ask the question "what was it all for? >> the piece of crap to send my son to die come i never thought in a million years we would die for nothing, nothing! because the piece of crap decided he wanted a photo up on september 11 appearance point joe biden wanted a fancy photo up but instead he ended up with a humiliating disaster. biden's failures have left us in more danger and fostering new generation of terrorists arms with billions of dollars of u.s. weapons and artillery. >> we are going back to pre9/11 right now but it is worse. it is worse because now they are fully armed with our weapons,

our helicopters and pallets of our cash. >> rachel: according to reuters "the taliban believed to control armored vehicles including u.s. humvees and 40 aircraft's potential including blackhawks, helicopters and military drones. armed up and ready to take revenge, the taliban are using our own weapons to hunt down america's friends, the very people joe biden promised to protect. >> executions are taking place. we are getting videos coming in, stories of interpreters being blocked by the taliban and retaliation is severe, chris. yet stories of interpreters being taken home from their families and wives beheaded, executed before they execute the interpreter. >> rachel: and it's not only are allies we can't save. a new report emerges that six

plants containing u.s. citizens are being held hostage and can't even leave the country. we will have more on that in just a moment. joe biden wanted a photo op in afghanistan. but it was the taliban who got their picture-perfect envy 20 years after 9/11. it is not the taliban flag, it is the taliban flag but not the stars and stripes outside of the foreign embassy in kabul. america would be partners of the taliban and he's right. biden at the taliban are partners in this worldwide embarrassment. joining a now with congressman mike gallagher former marine intel officer and a member of the armed services committee. welcome, congressman, thank you for joining us tonight. i will get right to it. do you agree with gold star mom this could have been avoided because joe biden chose to have this artificial deadline because of 9/11?

>> of course. i think even for the proponents of withdrawal and myself wanted to keep a small counterterrorism force and a way of protecting power with china over the long term. but even if you disagree with that, there was a way to do this that wasn't such a humiliating fiasco. obviously, surrendering bagram pulling out military before we had gotten every american citizen out of the country will go down as one of the worst foreign policy mistakes in the history of the united states foreign policy. so this president to add insult to injury has been lying to the american people for two weeks. he said al qaeda decimated in afghanistan. not true. he said the allies didn't have concerns that way this has been conducted, not true. he said americans weren't having trouble getting to the airport. obviously, we left hundreds if not thousands of them behind. that was a massive lie. the foundation of foreign policy has been peace through strength. the biden doctrine is to sow

chaos through weakness and weakness invites aggression. i fear we have only begun to see the aggression from our adversaries internationally because of this absolute disaster. >> rachel: congressman, you mentioned the airbase commit general milley said we could take that down into the withdral without having anything bad happen or at least not having our soldiers killed appeared thn general griffin asked millie whl face terrorism after afghanistan and now that the taliban in total control and here is what he said. >> i don't know if the taliban will consolidate power with governance may be, maybe not but i think there is at least a very good probability of a broader civil war. that will then in turn leave conditions that could infect lead to reconstitution of al qaeda or growth of isis or other terrorist groups. >> rachel: so congressman if

you thought terrorism would increase after got out of afghanistan and lost that base, why did he advise the president that it was okay to move forward with this position in this manner? >> well, i hope that he mentioned during the withdrawal, if he didn't, that is unbelievable. here is the reality, the biden administration did force the military to draw down 600 troops and then had to secure the embassy in kabul airfield, but they didn't even secure the embassy. that is moment you have to throw your rank on the table and say "if you go forward, mr. president, i am resigning and thus far, only the marine corps colonel has had the temerity to resign in the face of a disagreement with the commander in chief." there it needs to be a thorough investigation into which this absolute wonder occurred. i fear -- we need people to be held accountable on our side, whether that military and the state department, national security council, not only for the disaster of the withdrawal

but also for the deception with which it was carried out. i do believe, rachel, fundamentally this administration believes this is a new cycle they can manage and get away with. as long as they have friendly allies in the media, they can get away with this. this is a matter of life and death and not a matter of tweets. >> rachel: what can congress do because i believe the american people think they are getting away with it and they are not even apologizing. >> a few things, one, i was on the floor last week that would have prevented recognizing the tele- plan has legitimate government and prevented any money from being sent to the taliban so we don't end up bribing the taliban in order to get the american citizens that we left there back. that should be a minimum foundation going forward. we also need a full count of weapons we abandon that are in the hands of the taliban. we also need a plan for the administration for rescuing our people, and we do not happen right now. spohn think you congressman gallagher. we will come back to you later with more information. and now, staying in afghanistan

where joe biden promises no americans left behind but that does not seem to be the case. >> since we left the country on friday, how many americans have gotten out of afghanistan? >> zero. in fact, we have six airplanes at mazar-e sharif airport, six airplanes with american citizens on them as i speak and also with these interpreters and the taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now. the state has cleared the flights and the taliban will not let them leave the airport. >> rachel: so, is the taliban holding americans hostage? let us ask ask the court of a marine and medal of honor recipient and fox news contributor, welcome. you're received a medal of honor for your bravery. what are your thoughts on americans and joe biden specifically leaving americans behind an afghanistan? >> joe biden came out and this

administration is saying is you could argue is just a lie. he said he didn't leave with american still there. this is simply not true. now we are simply in the largest, largest hostage stand off with americans in modern history. the only way that it's not that is if the administration plans to go back and get them. >> rachel: we are seeing a mack hearing reports, dakota, the brave vets and civilians with missions to try to rescue allies and americans, they are saying they are being thwarted by the state department. what if you heard? >> same thing. i know a couple of organizations out there. the administration, we would not have got as many people out before they left. if it wasn't for veterans going back over there and doing this, nonprofit organizations going over and getting these people out, which is atrocious, especially on the administration's hands, right? of course, we have heard multiple stories from multiple

sources that they had like hundreds of people standing outside of the gate, but they were turned away because the administration didn't want to take them. so all of this stuff, look, no one keeping people from coming to the airfield to be able to leave. they are not locking them. the agreement is we would be there until the 31st. the taliban was still the enemy until the 31st. so i don't understand how we are allowing all of this to go on, especially our generals. especially our generals on the ground there allowing these marines, these marines, army, navy, all of these warriors to be put in this type of danger. and then look what happened. they are not being held accountable? i don't blame the administration on this. i blame everyone in the top in the military. if they don't agree with this, then they need to resign. the lieutenant colonel is the only one that has had the courage to stand up and say "why are these things happening? "and you see what happened to

him. >> rachel: absolutely, dakota we are coming up on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 appeared to be mentioned at the top of the segment, joe biden a great moment for him with the photo op clearly an embarrassment and humiliation for the country. more important, what will this anniversary mean for people like you who served bravely during this war were for the 9/11 families? what are your thoughts on that? >> look my think at the end of the day, look, this administraty administration represents us in the american people. i think we have been away from that so long. we have to go back and focus we are the greatest country on the face of the planet. we have the greatest military in the face of the planet because we have the greatest men and women who are so courageous. all volunteer force willing to go out and do the bidding on behalf of america and on behalf of this country on behalf of what this country and that is not lost. for those people who wonder if the war goes on, it does.

but the war is now between the administration, between the men and women serving, and between the media and its allies as what goes on next. >> rachel: dakota, you are a brave man. we are proud of your service. i want to thank you for joining me today. >> thank you so much. >> rachel: coming up the migrant crisis as if the burger was not bad enough, joe biden edit another went to his plate. do you think he will handle this one any better? more "fox news primetime" next. ♪ ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> tech: every customer has their own safelite story. this couple was on a camping trip... ...when their windshield got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ hey lily, i need a new wireless plan for my business, but all my employees need something different.

♪ ♪ >> rachel: thanks to joe biden's botched exit from afghanistan, we rush to get people out of the country. and now we have the refugee crisis on our hands. over 100,000 afghans have been relocated to countries around

the world, especially here in the united states. our president said "we will welcome these refugees as long as they pass a background check and security screening." but that turns out it is not happening. many of them have not been vetted and freed to walk away from designated bases. here is what congressman tom tiffany from wisconsin told me on fox & friends this weekend. >> the 2,000 afghan evacuees that were there at that point, it is now over 8,000. none of them have gone through the special immigration process. if you remember, the biden administration was telling us two or three weeks ago that everyone was going through a thorough vetting including the special immigration visa process. it turns out they weren't. they are being waved through on something called the parole authority that the head of homeland security as a peer of the second thing we found out from the commanding general, someone wants to leave, not just fort mccoy, but if you have parole authority, you can leave at any time. >> rachel: 20 me now to react

former acting director of national intelligence, ric grenell, welcome. what do you make of this? how is it possible they can walk off of the base and all of this without a proper vetting process? >> look, it is illegal. congress has mandated rules for how people get into the united states. and we should also start by saying the united states is the most generous country in the entire world for welcoming new people to become u.s. citizens. 1 million people a year get to become u.s. citizens. no other country does that. but unfortunately, we have 100 million people that want to come in. so you have to have rules, otherwise, you don't have a country. now, ramstein airbase and germany where i was u.s. ambassador is welcoming many of the afghan refugees. and i can tell you through my sources there, people who used to work for me, and have now

contacted me to say that the vetting process is atrocious. they are being told by the biden administration officials to rush people through if there is not proper documentation. now, this is illegal. it also puts foreign service officers, the state department employees, dhs employees, in a terrible position. many of them don't want to be involved because they are being told to break congressionally mandated rules just to rush people through. i can tell you, rachel, there are more than 25,000 people that have gone through ram stein, less than 1,000 have been american citizens. many of them rushed through. some doing just refueling operations from kuwait destined for philadelphia and we are putting air marshals on the plane when they land in germany because we just don't trust the

vetting process coming into the united states. >> rachel: one thing that doesn't make sense to me is why are they just letting them be relocated in the region? it is cheaper for the american taxpayers are less cultural shock the immigration and refugees. why are they doing that? >> look, that is such a great question. i learned and spent eight years in the human and i learned one thing about refugees. they really don't want to go to a brand-new place where they don't speak the language. where culturally, it is a shock. and they don't have family members. >> rachel: right. >> coming to the united states is sometimes the last place they want to go because they don't know anybody. and it seems counterintuitive, but i can tell you from my experience, many refugees want to go closer to home because many believe if the problems are fixed, they can go back home and they want to. we should allow people in the region and the u.n. should be stepping up to stay close at home in case they can never go

back. >> rachel: really quickly, ric, i only have a few seconds left with you. i want to bring this up your ted cruz brought this up and reuters is reporting this a sex trafficking angle to some of these refugees we are finding older men, some of the young women are reporting that they have been forced to marry these men. these are child rights. this is happening and what should the government be doing about this when they encounter this? speak with the biggest shock is we are finding this out once they are in the united states, not vetted in kuwait or germany. this vetting system has completely broken down. we should be asking these questions before they get into the united states and stopping them from coming in. but unfortunately, they are just pushing through people and telling officers to use a hunch rather than documentation. >> rachel: well, that is called child sexual assault in our country. thank you, ambassador for an outcome appreciate it. >> thank you.

>> rachel: all right, you won't want to miss extensive interview with rick ric grenell from my podcast, check that out with a much longer conversation and he is so insightful. now from one migrant crisis to another, thousands more illegal migrants immigrants continuing to enter through the southern border. joe biden has been silent on the issue for weeks now. and the borders kamala harris, nowhere to be found. but residents and border communities say the problem is worse than ever. many of these migrants aren't surviving the dangerous and deadly traps. >> since the border crisis, we are about the same place we were. the amount of bodies we are finding in the county is astounding. just last week, we found three last week. and they have become so regular around here, we called them biden bodies because it is from one policy that this is occurring. the same policy can be stopped by one person, but it's not happening. >> rachel: joining me now,

fox nation host tomi lahren, welcome. so they are seeing so many bodies and calling them biden bodies and i have to tell you tomi come i have friends in the area, firefighters, border patrol, they have been telling me for weeks that they are seeing a lot of bodies and havig to recover them and really distraught by this. what do you make of this, they called them biden bodies? >> it is absolutely fair to call them biden bodies. i have actually spent time at the border and the biden administration has taken over. i have had a chance to talk to the ranchers are not only are they finding bodies but having issue with people coming across a property but those people are vandalizing their property and some time starting small fibers. they are cutting wires through their fences, messing with their water, and created by the biden administration but we have to keep in mind that these cartel, these criminal organizations bringing these people across lying to them and taking thousands and thousands of dollars from illegal immigrants appear they are the ones that

are so happy with this administration and this border crisis because they are the ones reaping the benefits and they are being funded by this administration. >> rachel: absolutely and you are right, tomi, they are absolutely heartless and there was a story about a little girl, live years old crossing the border with her mom. the little toddler brother caring him on her back. look at these photos. heartbreaking and though cartel abandoned them. she ended up passing away and so did her mother and the border patrol found them through a phone call from them on before they died. and this is not a compassionate policy. they clearly thought that the borders were open and that they could make it. but there are not many border patrol to save them because they are either out in detention centers processing people. and there were more people than the border patrol can handle. >> absolutely. a lot of people don't understand that border patrol is certainly serving a humanitarian mission

but when overwhelming and over glorified babysitters, they are not able to be humanitarian they often are. in closing talking about sex trafficking in what we are dealing with possibly afghan refugees coming over, the worldwatch has the border remained open. the world watched as people's next draft across the eight months of this administration. they are aware of the border is open and it is right for the picking. so if we want to keep this country safe, we enforce our border and enforce it now. unfortunately, we don't have a lot of confidence in the administration to do that. >> rachel: you bring up an excellent point, and terrorism and all the while khmer border is wide open. as you said, everyone. thank you so much, tomi lahren. next, the california race is almost here but one question are you for the kids are for the teachers union? which side do you think larry elder is on? we will talk to him next after the break. ♪ ♪

to open up your they also demanded to be at the front line for covid vaccines. we all gave in to their demands to get our kids back to school. and now, they are closed. a thousand schools. it has kind of went under the radar. what do you make of this? >> well, it is never enough for the teachers union. it didn't match up that the teachers were at the front of the queue. the fact is that children don't need to be vaccinated as adults. study after study from north carolina from sweden from norway, you name it, children are at very low risk of hospitalization or death from covid. so they shouldn't be masked. and they shouldn't if under 12 be vaccinated. and they don't need to be. if a teacher is vaccinated, it is safe. you don't need to shut the place down. you don't even need to test. we know the damage to children of being masked and of missing

shutting them down. so if you still feel at risk in your job, you need to quit your job. like i'm tired of teachers assuming that they are entitled to their jobs. if you don't feel safe in your workplace and you don't think that is the job for you, quit, and let one of the millions where at least hundreds of thousands of student teachers out there who are going to work and who do feel safe, young, healthy, vaccinated. i think i will be okay. let them have your job. i'm tired of this. i'm tired of them holding their health over my head. my child is not responsible for your health. i am not responsible for your health. your union where the government of your city is not responsible for your health. you are responsible for your health. if you can't deal with it, quit. >> rachel: i want to move to another topic we see in paris. we have some video footage of just craziness. i will put that up right now.

on the data and trust the public to do the right thing. i think a lot of simple problems with public health messaging into epidemic is a failure to trust the public. >> rachel: i think you are absolutely right but a failure to do studies. we sold "the wall street journal" article by dr. mccarrick an end there were not any studies on masking a live error children and in fact let me ask you about that really quick because here back to school in so many states masking kids. what are your thoughts on that? >> i think generally, there is no randomized evidence whatsoever that shows that masking children is spread. and i think you can understand some elements are harmed for some kids. and a lot of kids don't like it. and it just so happens that it may harm emotional development and social development for kids. i don't think it is a good idea. spend we talked about 1,000 students being shut down 30

states in america because of the delta variant. do you think the delta variant warrants shutting schools down? >> i don't think anything warrants shutting schools down. i don't think we should have shut down schools last year. that is an enormous regret that will make her children's lives shorter. because even short periods of missed schools have long-term consequences in the lives of children. the delta variant is not more deadly to children. it may be more -- but we have a vaccinated population. a large fraction of the population are vaccinated. >> rachel: all right, thank you dr. bhattacharya. don't go anywhere. my husband, sean, is here and he is going on the clock. next, stay with us. they drove to safelite autoglass for a guaranteed, same-day, in-shop repair. we repaired the chip before it could crack.

>> just a few minutes left in the show, not often you get the put yourselves on the clock. we have four stories, 60 seconds each, let's go. so first up, actress

bette midler is encouraging women to protest the new texas abortion law with a strike. she tweeted "i suggest that all women refuse to have sex with men until they have the right to choose by congress." >> i wonder if we are incorporating the ban here so far apart. the last lefty pregnancies means the less lefty kids which is good for conservatives that have buried >> out producing left democrats anyway on the children's front right. >> i also think of the strike only applies to bet midler, i don't know any man in texas who is going to disagree with this, of course we will take that ban any day of the week. no one is lining up. >> do you think democrat women are lining up for this? >> i don't think so in texas, but you never know. i hope not. >> one second left, i like this.

up next, this is an interesting story. pete buttigieg and his husband are officially parents, congratulations bit over the weekend, they posted this photo with their two newborns penelope rose and joseph august. it's not clear if they were adopted or they used a surrogate but what we do know is that they've been trying to adopt for about a year without much success. it appears the question more people are asking tonight is whether the babies were adopted or born to a surrogate so why are these two posing for photos in a hospital bed? we have these photos in hospital beds. >> we have nine of them, taken them after every single bay become a wonderful thing to have a new child, but it's really all they are taking a picture in a birthing bed. >> not like a rocking chair. >> what happened to the mom? that they kick her out and take a picture in her bed? what do you think about this? >> is someone who has been through labor and the pain of

labor, no one should be able to take a picture in a birthing bed unless they have actually done it, so there we go. bring on the hate mail. kim jong un is officially ripping a page after aoc's playbook by calling for urgent action as the nation faces a food shortage which he is blaming on climate change and abnormal weather. >> this is a brilliant page right out of the left's playbook because whether it's the border crisis, dog bites are actually climate change, mental health as a result of climate change but it's interesting that communism and socialism is not the result of food shortages, it is climate change. but this is what aoc on the left does. you can't find a policy to blame, just go to climate change. it works every time. >> blaming the whole afghanistan fiasco on climate change as well but aoc blames people coming

over the border, no, they are coming because of climate change. kim jong un and aoc have a lot in common i guess. and finally, a new survey says they get less enjoyment out of vacation as adults. why do you think that is? >> i don't understand this one because as an adult, i love vacation. going with you when the kids, it is so much fun. >> you get so giddy when you drive up to the cabin. >> i've got a boycott on disney because i don't visit leftist corporations but as your young kid and you go on vacation that's new and experience in a place you haven't been before, i think that excitement is hard to replace but you and i do as adults with our own children. >> there is nothing like being a kid going to disney world although i am like a kid at disney world. i want to talk about something really quickly, we have a podcast, ric grenell. at the kitchen table as our

podcast. this is a great conversation with ric grenell so make sure you catch that. >> it's an hour long, it's wonderful. >> we go from everything, no topic we haven't done. thank you for watching fox news prime time. i am rachel campos duffy and see you tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: that evening and welcome to a special edition of "tucker carlson tonight." happy labor day, hope you stayed away from labor all weekend and enjoyed it. it so much is going on in this world right now that occasionally, it is worth taking a step back and making some time to think through what exactly is happening. we have 4 minutes every night on her show per guest and it is great but there were guests for whom it is just not enough s
