this lady and her three children were shepherded away from the taliban and out of afghanistan safely. they are unable to reach the kabul airport, they were turned away by the taliban and abandoned when us forces left, she was hit by a private team who drove the north. they cross the border to safety. immediately after this the state department of credit saying they facilitated the escape. and military veterans, congressman mullen headed out of the state department tweeting this is a flat out lie, the biden administration abandoned, let's be clear, patriots worked around the clock for two weeks to get them out, today images emerged from the taliban flag painted on the us embassy in kabul leaving democrats like blumenthal house left behind.

secretary blinken currently with secretary austen claims the taliban are still allowing people to leave. >> to freely depart, the international community watching to see if the taliban lives up to their commitments. the number of american citizenship, in afghanistan is somewhere around 100. >> reporter: this comes as the taliban claims they are in control of that. the last hope of the opposition emerged, pakistan was involved in crushing the last remnants. according to sent, sources the pakistani military fighting alongside the taliban and, backed up by pakistani drone strikes. secretary blinken, a lot of

difficult sessions for him. >> thank you. >> this comes with acting director of national intelligence rick grenell sounding away alarm for afghan refugees. take a listen. >> through my sources, people who used to work for me contacted me to say that the vetting process is atrocious. they are told by biden administration officials to rush people through without proper documentation. pushes foreign service officers, the state department employees, dhs employees in a terrible position, they are told to break congressionally mandated tools. jillian: 10,000 evacuees remain on the air base. todd: the crisis at the southern

border, cvp describes a small new mexico town as ground 0 for the migrant crisis. thousands of migrants pouring into the us. jillian: griff jenkins joins us as mexican authorities work to break up migrant caravans. what is the latest? >> reporter: caravans are back, authorities broke up a fourth one in the last week. hundreds of migrants from central america in the small town of wheat blood traveling along the traditional path of caravans in the past. mexican officials say shelters overflowing with migrants streaming north now. on our southern border just west of el paso officials scrambling to fix holes in the wall never completed when president biden took office. the el paso sector among the hardest hit, up 300%. that is the surge the scene for

todd: the new york times taking heat for praising president biden's foreign policy despite what is happening in afghanistan. jillian: in a chaotic finale of the 20-year war in afghanistan a biden doctrine is emerging that avoids the aggressive tactics of forever wars and nationbuilding while uniting allies against the

authoritarianism of rising powers. heather: here's joe concha our allies, many democrats, a lot of mainstream media have been critical of the biden administration's actions in afghanistan. why did the new york times break from the pack and print essentially a white house press release? >> the key line is while uniting allies against authoritarian powers. the byline would show jen psaki wrote this in terms of propaganda, under the guise of straight reporting, our biggest partner in afghanistan the brits, not happy with the way the biden harris administration handled this. there parliament held president biden in contempt. the incoming german chancellor said it was the worst policy decision in terms of foreign policy decisions ever written so

for peter baker, attempting to frame this the way the white house would want by outright lying, the word lying under the guise of straight news reporting is as shameful as it is shameless. jillian: a lot of criticism how the withdrawal is taking place and what happened the last few weeks but do you think history will look back on this and say this was the right move for will history still be critical of how this was put into play? >> it is all about the execution and many agree we should of gotten out of afghanistan. we been there for 20 years and we had to leave. it was the execution a lot of people, overwhelming number of americans have a problem is we look at poll after poll after poll, three things needed to be done, it's not monday morning quarterback in your tuesday morning quarterbacking but

bagram air base should have been used instead of kabul. maybe should have been done during the winter when the taliban is back at their bases in pakistan, and get all americans are before you pull military out. 3 basic things military analyst, i'm certainly not one, needed to be done but we are seeing americans left behind and 13 service men, members of the us military died in the process at kabul international airport so that's the problem people have and people will look back on this as a stain in the biden presence your perhaps a turning point in terms of use he competent enough to do the job and that is why his poll numbers of fallen as precipitously as they have. >> rachel maddow slammed for taking the bait on a false story about ivermectin doses.

the patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural oklahoma hospitals and ambulances. this article was been debunked and nevertheless we have these articles from the liberal media co. chamber started with rolling stone making the most headline, don't forget the new york daily news, newsweek, business insider all echoing the same thing but here's rachel maddow tweeting out the article in question. i am guessing that won't be consequences, will there be? >> why hasn't rachel maddow taken down her tweet, many are asking this because she reaches millions of followers but it is up there. probably the reason she's not taking it down as she knows she can mislead and put unhinged claims inside her own network,

no one pushed russia collusion harder than rachel maddow, she's the adam schiff of cable news hosts. what happened after was debunked? she didn't apologize and nbc awarded rachel a boatload of cash and a new contract because it is about clicks and ratings, not facts and honesty and the fact that twitter is allowing her tweet to stay up, clearly this shows absolute bias of biden's social media engine but we know that already. >> you can tuesday morning court back after monday night game, wednesday morning court back, nothing for you. wednesday have a field, no field, friday. very good that your. showed your age. congratulations. jillian: texas has become a major target over a series of republican back to bills that made it to the governor's desk despite opposition from democrats, hollywood and the media.

to cheat, they delayed things. politicians raised money off of it, cost taxpayers a lot of money but they came back to work and business is getting them. heather: democratic narrative, state senator, a democrats is the following. i worry this bill will take our state down a dangerous slippery slope and this narrative is dangerous that there is widespread fraud with no evidence, is damaging to our democracy. how to republicans in texas and throughout the country combat those talking points? >> we stay away from generalizations and stick with the facts. i have a county commissioner in my district out on bail for mail ballot fraud. hundreds of cases across the state pending against dozens of defendants where real people have been cheated, ballot stolen, paperwork filled out

the womb. we are glad other states are going to follow texas on this as we work together to protect innocent human life. todd: violence, property damage, they are already crimes, don't know if you need another statute that makes them more crimes. why put out the statement? >> it was very -- i saw where the attorney general would weigh in. is he talking the same bill we passed in texas? those things have been against the law for a long time. this bill says we will protect life and we are going to come alongside the mother, we increased funding for the alternative to abortion program, more help for those women in tough situations while the baby is being carried and after the baby comes along, parenting classes, baby formula, diapers, tangible help, all these things, we can protect that human life and love and support the mother in the process. don't know what the ag is

been released. this country needs to do a better job protecting themselves going forward. that is what we see going forward, to do a full declassification review process with all these documents. jillian: as we approach the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 in light of everything that has happened in afghanistan the last few weeks, are you feeling different than you otherwise would have? >> what happened in afghanistan is frightening when they released and you saw thousands of jihadists freed, terrifying what could have come back to our shores which is why we need to get tough on terrorism, cut down the pipeline, finance leave operation and that is what we are going to see going forward. jillian: what was your husband

like? >> tom was wonderful. and avid outdoorsman. his family came first. jillian: what do you think he would want for your family as we approach this anniversary? >> i'm sure he would like us to be more at peace than we are. it is not easy to continue this battle we've had with the us government not allowing us to have the evidence they have in their possession so i think he would hope the truth would be coming out sooner rather than later and that. jillian: the president is supposed to travel to new york, pennsylvania and virginia for the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks days after telling the fbi to release files on the 9/11 investigation. what is your reaction to this?

to a rocky start to the school your, students in 31 states back to online learning, 1000 schools reportedly shut down due to a rise in covid cases. doctor marty mcnary joined me now. was closing school the right move? >> last year clearly know, tragic to look back and think, the contagious virus, there are a couple modifications we can do. quarantine students for

exposure's sacred is not make sense. if you do so there's no way to avoid almost every kid or have this will be in quarantine, schools in europe decided to hold back on the quarantining part because it would be like saying i took the train in new york and i was around the million people if everyone was connected to somebody and doesn't make sense to shut down 1 million people just because of one exposure. todd: if you were advising the schools what would your advice be? >> the number one thing we can do to help kids is for adults to get vaccinated and kids are 12 years and older to get vaccinated. of some are concerned about immunizing those who are 12 to 18 i would say to those who have natural immunity we don't have to immunize them and if they are otherwise vulnerable you can give them one dose and that conferred protection. oftentimes discussion quickly goes to masks. the data are in, there's no benefit to a cloth mask in the formal study. there is to a surgical mask, not always reasonable for a young kid to wear that.

masks do help, ranks 5 or 6 in strategies after ventilation, vaccination, poting and distancing. those are some steps which half of all kids have had covid right now and it may be inevitable, not that we should prevent transmission but it is ripping through by nature of the delta variant. >> what do you expect the covid curve to look like in the next few weeks, not asking you to look months, years obviously, you can't do that but over the course of the next few weeks throughout september? >> a pretty good preview what will happen with the delta wave from states that got hit hardest earliest with covid and that is missouri and arkansas, 20% to 10% off their case respectively and if we look at other states that follow the are following and we are seeing on the incline in most of the southeast not that far along in a staggered wave of covid and maybe the

northeast which has been relatively sheltered and other parts of the united states with high mutation rates will see a bump but not nearly as hard, the peak is not going to be as tall and some are projecting a boom and bust, much better place in the few months because there will be nobody left to has not had dealt or been vaccinated. todd: is that considered natural immunity? >> if you look at india, they are at very low points from where they were at the epidemic peak and that's the power of natural immunity, not something we should desire or something we should choose over vaccination but 27 times more protective than vaccinated immunity in the israeli city and we are seeing that affect in the natural rollover of the epidemic growth curve because of natural immunity. todd: always appreciate your insight and knowledge on covid.

jillian: the intelligence community feeling to identify the origin of the coronavirus following a 90 day investigation ordered by president biden. former intelligence officer joined us to discuss the challenges. >> the chinese government was never going to cooperate because it has an interest in keeping this information secret whether it was malevolent or incompetent. the second challenge is intelligence collection posture, our ability to get intelligence inside china has been decimated over the last decade. >> of the chinese communist party does not cooperate the us may never pinpoint the origins of the virus. todd: a long island beach that was once a site where people watched in horror as the world trade center collapsed is the memorial to the victims. jillian: patel a lot of the fallen as america marks 20 years since the september 11th attack which fox news senior meteorologist janice dean is why that point lookout. >> can't wait till the sun comes up because you will see this

beautiful memorial on long island that i love because my friend pfeiffer who was a firefighter with my husband sean in manhattan when the towers came down, we lost ray a couple years ago because of 9/11-related cancer and he thought very hard to expand a bill to make sure first responders got healthcare, that is on the memorial here, one of his favorite places. he spent 911s remembering the following. it is an important monument for me to show you on "fox and friends". the weather here is spectacular. ray is helping me out, clear skies, no rain in the forecast, no humidity. a wonderful morning, there's the temperature, 67 it point lookout, visiting different memorials to commemorate this important day 20 years ago when the twin towers fell.

are. todd: this is a pretty tough image to see. the former image in kabul now marked with a flag of the taliban as the terror organization takes full control of afghanistan. jillian: here to react is fox news contributor and form are congressman sean duffy. it is difficult to see but is anyone surprised this happened. >> no. jillian, it didn't have to be this way. this is bawl politics joe biden

decided to exit afghanistan on a timetable as opposed to facts on the ground and now to think that the taliban has painted their flag on the front of the u.s. embassy but it goes right along with the fact that they have billions of dollars of american tanks and humvees and planes and guns and i think this picture incapsulates a failed joe biden. you were just talking with janice dean it makes it that much harder as we go into this week of 9/11 looking back to think that after 20 years and the blood and treasure that was lost that we now have turned over afghanistan to the taliban? they have more land, more power, more strength today than they did 20 years ago on september 10th. i mean, it's outrageous. todd: sean, describe how much more damage that image will do to whatever credibility we have left in the eyes of the world? >> well, listen, i think the message is america oftentimes is not a good friend. we make promises but don't keep them.

what's more troubling, todd, is that general -- the general of the joint chiefs of chief of staff, mark milley part of this strategy with biden said a day or two ago said we will see more terrorism come out of afghanistan. it's not that everything is going to be fine moving forward. as you know there is more risk to america and american safety because of this policy because it can be a breeding ground like we saw on 9/11 for terrorism. so, utter failure from joe biden and, again, americans wanted us out of afghanistan, but not this way to turn afghanistan over to the taliban where they can, again, breed terrorists that can affect our western allies but also the united states of america. jillian: yeah. let's talk about this for a second. karl rove in so many words says that the president is in over his head right now. take a listen to what he has to say. >> he has a very rough period of time ahead of him. the best he can do is narrow it down. try stay focused and knock these things down and keep people's

expectations low. there is no easy way out of this. my opinion is that he has got too much on his plate. jillian: this is in light of the plunging approval rating. take a look at these numbers, 51% of respondents disapprove right now. 43% approve. what do you make of all of this? >> well, i was in politics for 10 years in the house. these are cataclysmic numbers, right? you have seen failure over the course of the biden administration whether it was on the southern border. whether it was inability to actually give a clear coherent speech. it's the delta varnght that's now rising. it's inflation. massive spending. i think a lot of americans now have come under focus with the failure in afghanistan. you now go oh my gosh there have been failures all over the map. i think, jillian, there is an easy success here. he has an infrastructure bill that he could actually push house democrats to pass and start building roads and bridges in america. but, instead, he is joining the fallout of the party we won't

pass infrastructure until we get 3.5 trillion which is more like $5 trillion of massive green new dealesque liberal spending. so he is not even taking the simple wins can he get in the congress. frankly most americans don't like. and so yeah, i think that joe biden has a hard time moving forward getting those numbers back up and what this really means is that it is going to be great year for republicans in the house and the senate. i mean, this starts to set in. the perception of the president and the politics start to set in as we end out 2021 and go into 2022. and those tough districts across america all of a sudden republicans get the wind at their back and you can see 20 to 45 seats being picked up in the house for republicans when means joe biden has real trouble in the next two years with republican house. todd: quickly what about the senate? >> i say republicans have a chance of picking up two to four

seats. looks good though. jillian: you heard it here. todd: 45 house. giving the high side. jillian: sean duffy, thank you. good to see you. all right. well, that's it right now. "fox & friends" has continuing coverage of all the latest news. hope you have a good day. todd: pie bye, everybody. ♪ >> those accused of planning still have never been to trial. >> crisis on the border only getting worst. >> texas rancher asking why washington is doing nothing to stop the surge. >> bodies in kenny county are s. astoinding started to call them biden bodies. >> see the damage left by hurricane ida and new york and new jersey. >> over 400,000 people still out of power in the state of louisiana. >> the supreme court reinstated president trump's remain in mexico policy. >> the biden
