like to stop fentanyl from entering the country, west virginia's attorney general suing the biden administration saying the reversal of the remain in mexico policy has had devastating effect on the flow of drugs into the us. >> we feel the impact of the immigration debate and open borders most when sentinel is surging across the border. most people talk about raw numbers of undocumented aliens coming in. we measure the problem through the amount of fentanyl and illicit drugs. we think this should be a no-brainer for president biden to turn around but he didn't think about the drug trafficking it should when he tried to rescind the remain in mexico policy. jillian: president biden is mulling over a remain in mexico light policy that would require a small number of asylum-seekers to remain in mexico before entering the us. kentucky senator and pulsing documents prove doctor fauci lied about funding the wuhan lab.

contributor, doctor janette nesheiwat. thanks for being here. what do we need to know about the new variant? >> not a big threat right now in this is good news but we need to keep an ion it and monitor it. this new variant was discovered in colombia earlier this year in january and spread to 40 different countries including the united states but only accounts for one% of the cases in the united states, 2000 cases, most in california and potentially vaccines are not as effective against this variant. we need to keep an eye on it. we have dealt the making of the majority of cases but we want to prevent more mutations from occurring. you can do that by getting vaccinated, taking precautions and monitoring for new variants. todd: what are experts saying that lead them to believe it could be vaccine resistant? >> great question.

in the lab studies show vaccines may have certain mutations similar to the south african variant in the uk variant that makes vaccines a little bit weak and also shows potentially the monoclonal antibodies as we have may not be as effective but it is important to note this is only in the lab. we do not have evidence this is true in the real world, we don't have clinical evidence to show this, only the lab. sometimes what we see and do in the lab does not translate into the real world which is a good situation here. todd: based on your first two answers i get the impression experts are not that worried the mu will replace delta as the number one concern. is that accurate? >> right now it is not looking like that. could things change? that is a possibility because delta as one point was 6% of the cases, then 10% and now almost

99%. it could change. todd: another topic, fort mccoy hit by measles ahead of the afghan refugee resettlement. here's an internal government email explaining what happened, quote, all those in contact with the infected person has been isolated and post exposure in process. a 2-part question. should be american people be worried about this case? >> i don't think we should be worried. we have such an effective 99% effective vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. it is a very contagious virus that primarily affects children. it can affect anyone, cause a rash, fever, ear infection, pneumonia, inflammation of the brain so it is important that we try to vaccinate as many people as we can that are coming in who are in vaccinated and isolate,

quarantine those who are already impacted, infected. the majority of us are already vaccinated which means we are fully protected. todd: moving beyond measles should the american people be worried about potential disease outbreaks these areas of the country? >> i don't think so. a tiny amount of compared to the 350 million residents we have country. make sure you take care of yourself, get routine physicals, make sure you're up-to-date with your vaccines, getting your boosters, not much to worry about. todd: doctor janette nesheiwat, great to see you, appreciate it. always so happy. 34 minutes after your. the disrespect from the 9/11

mastermind in his appearance in court. >> allies watching the exit fallout from the us withdrawal in afghanistan, what do they think now that terrorists free from gitmo are in control? the world awaits the white house response. do you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep? qunol sleep formula combines 5 key nutrients that can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. the brand i trust is qunol.

>> 9/11 mastermind can lead sheikh mohammed smiling and waving during his first court appearance in front of bay, the attorney for ks and nephew defending his client after the group appeared in good spirits. >> he's happy to see us. he's been in lockdown as long as everyone else, seeing people he hasn't seen in a long time. a cause for pleasure. todd: they will face the death penalty for charges related to the 9/11 terror attacks, no date for a trial has been set. jillian: the world is watching of white house faces multiple questions on whether the us will recognize the taliban is the official government of afghanistan. >> that is a long way off. >> there is no rush recognition. it depends what steps the taliban takes. i don't have a timeline for you. it depends what behavior they

have on the ground. jillian: nigel farage, let's pull up on screen four gitmo detainees released in the bow bergdahl swapped a high-ranking petitions in the afghan government. looking at these faces on screen and i question do you think ultimately the us and other countries end of recognizing the taliban and what does that mean for international relations? >> when the white house was questioned they didn't give an answer about recognizing the taliban and boris johnson on the side of the pond said he thought it was a different taliban to the one from the 1990s. a new woke taliban. it looks to me although both of our governments thought these people for 20 years despite

people like mister haqqani the ministry of the interior and wanted terrorist for the fbi, despite that it seems the narrative if we recognize that talent and we can work with them against isis because they are even worse. we are on the verge of doing it and it is a huge mistake but when you think about it the taliban and have $85 billion worth of up-to-date modern military equipment. it makes them very dangerous. jillian: why should we have any reason to believe the taliban and when they say work with us or to the point you just made work with us and we will help you against isis, why should we believe anything they say? >> i don't think we should believe anything they say and plenty of evidence to suggest that the taliban is not a disciplined force, acting

vigilantes with impunity and secondly the number of reported murders, people who work as interpreters being dragged out of their houses in kandahar and murdered in the street in front of their families, so much of that evidence has built up over the last two or three weeks that there is no way the taliban have changed and if we make the mistake of thinking they are not as bad as isis, we are in a very bad place. jillian: former british prime minister tony blair ripped into president biden over this withdrawal, listen to what he had to say. >> america has decided for the foreseeable future it has a limited appetite for military engagement which gives our allies anxiety and our opponents -- jillian: this withdrawal was happening through august 3, '01, understandably all eyes were on the united states to see if we

can accomplish the mission and what do we do next, all eyes are still on the united states. what do you think the united states should be doing? >> strong words from tony blair. when you think about it biden came to the g7 in the uk, america is back and we got rid of donald trump and we got biden and it is all going to be great. what biden has done is taking america back to total isolationism because not only has he offended us, the british and we have a shift and nobody could trust the americans right now in terms of getting involved in any military engagements because he made promises that the g7 that he broke with unilateral withdrawal from afghanistan.

america is isolated and friendless. america may be a strong powerful rich country but everybody needs friends in the world. the iron he is the democrats actually are the isolationists and donald trump was reaching out on the telephone and traveling the world pursuing what was actually a successful us foreign-policy. >> what the world looks like if the taliban is recognized so if that were to be the case what does that do to the world? what does it look like to you? >> the fact that caliban can say america has gone tail between their legs, the fact they are saying that gives great comfort to terrorist organizations all over the world and i think i

think the western world may pay a price through terrorist reprisals for many years to come as a result of this badly executed -- >> it is a sad thought but a realistic thought, thank you for your time. appreciate it. todd: it is 45 after the hour. students are suing over their school song. wears their team spirit? one student joins us to react next.

be supposedly racist and the same as my brother and mother and grandfather before me i don't -- the history and tradition of this song, it is outrageous they would go to such a beloved symbol -- back in march the eyes of texas history committee released a report that documented the full history of the song and found none of its origins were racist at all. it is absolutely outrageous this leftist mob is claiming a hostile work environment when a few weeks ago the leftist mob hosted a protest wanting to defund the police. it is outrageous and as someone who is a former band member, splitting the band and student body apart. todd: when you walk around campus is that the prevailing notion that the song is racist? >> it is. recently the ut student senate as a part of their agenda for this year has abolish the eyes of texas as a key top priority

and a lot of students fully on that side and conservatives like myself and other students on campus need to speak up and speak out against this injustice because they are terrible way our tradition and tearing away the history that build austin into a welcoming and transgenerational community. todd: what your new football coach has to say, pushing their, quote, the eyes of texas is our school song, we will sing that song and sing that proudly. is this all about standing up to the woke mob? is about appeasing donors are not happy with protests around the song or a combination of both? >> i think the stand the university is taking is commendable, something we don't see often and the football coach and university administration is doing a wonderful job standing up for the eyes of texas but it isn't just about the eyes of

texas but every symbol and tradition we hold dear. the woke mob is going to come and take away the song that is the love that has been sung for over a century by so many of my family members and so many alumni across the country, if they can do that they can do that at any of the university and has reported notre dame's basket was attended to get rid of any university of wisconsin they got rid of thousands of dollars because students deemed it racist. the leftist agenda they are trying to see through, conservatives across this country and students like myself need to stand up and speak out against these terrible miscarriages of justice. todd: do these objecting students prevail in their complaint? >> i don't think so.

this should be left at in court. fellow students, read the eyes of texas history committee in its entirety and if you don't believe in the fact go to another university, plenty of blame to love you and have you and students past and present need to stand up and speak out and the eyes of texas controversy will come to a end and go behind us. todd: thank you very much. jillian: we have a big show still had, joe concha and tomi lahren next. ♪♪
