>> this is just the latest example of lack of civility in politics. we can talking about this for a while and it does raise the question of how did we get here as a society. wasn't like this when you and i were growing up. this is where we are now. founding fathers certainly envisioned a robust discourse without political violence but what we are seeing amounts to political violence. larry elder and his team getting what amounts to, we are waiting more details but it appears it could be a racist attack. a woman in a gorilla mask throwing eggs at him but begs the question where is the outrage from the woke left when it comes to what we are seeing on our screen, an attack on this conservative and others conservatives it appears the left is always silent and that is what charlie kirk points out. >> this is how black

conservatives are treated when they speak out and are given a platform. our beds written about them in the la times, larry elder, the blackface of white supremacy, how they treat get is owens and so many black conservatives that speak out about what is going on in the black community and conservative policies, outrageous and disgusting at the point you mentioned is so important is this person was wearing a gorilla mask imagine if that happened to any democrat event. >> it is never okay from either side, from any side to do this. we've seen all sorts of different examples whether it be showing other people's houses, intimidating them at restaurants or throwing water or drink on people are eggs at someone. it is run the gamut over the last few years and leo terrel always has an interesting perspective on things because he is one of the few who was a democrat, is now a republican so he knows what it is like to be part of both parties.

>> a minnesota freedom fund where the rioters burned down the police department, no action whatsoever for the summer of riots, summer of criminals, summer of misconduct, democrats ignore that because that is their base and what you just saw with larry elder is the democratic serious people of color leaving the democratic party, larry elder, a black republican telling other people of color to go to the right side. >> there should not be any violence on either side when it comes to our political discourse. when you see it you need to call it out, that applies to both parties in all situations yet nothing from the left. 9 minutes after the hour, the new york times striking against the gop claiming southerners

everyone so what this writer is arguing is states rights should no longer exist and federal guidelines that align with aoc and the squad should dictate what the states do. the sound you hear right now is the founding fathers rolling over in their graves. >> that aside i am tired of people being roped into a box, you live down south you must think this way, you are republican, you must think this way, a democrat, you must think this way, what happened to people being individuals and having their own thoughts? >> it is all about stereotypes. i don't think it is wishful at all. it is completely stereotypical that if you live in oklahoma then you are taking this horse medicine in order to beat covid except that's based on a lie that went viral earlier this week because all people down

south must be done and do stupid things and we've divided the country so much that if you live in a certain state you are identified a certain way, if you live in texas or florida based on who your governor is and it is sad to be honest with you. >> we should be on character rather than location of residents or affiliation or anything. todd: based on where they live. speaking of sad jimmy kimmel saying the unvaccinated should not get icu beds. >> doctor fauci said hospital will have to make tough choices about who gets an icu bed. that choice doesn't seem tough to me. vaccinated person having a heart attack we will take care of you was unvaccinated gobbled horse goo, rest in peace. todd: is he trying to pad gutfeld? >> if you look jimmy's numbers compared to gutfeld's that is

not going to happen and remember jimmy kimmel, who he is, he is the guy who once mocked karl malone by wearing black facing if you are unvaccinated you should not get an icu bed, advocating a death sentence by denying those people healthcare. african-americans represent the lowest number of those vaccinated, 40%. for context, 50% of whites are vaccinated, 67% of asians are vaccinated, 27 points higher. if you are black and unvaccinated you shouldn't get treatment and this is why late-night comedy, because of kimmel, late-night or colbert or seth myers will never be confused with carson orlando or letterman and that is why you see gutfeld have the success because those shows you see on abc and cbs and nbc is watching an extension of cnn with more

processing, the national beef packing were called out by name. officials blame them for american sticker shock. >> half of the overall increase can be attributed to significant increase in prices for beef, pork and poultry. you see that level of consolidation it raises concern about pandemic profiteering. jillian: the administration plans to funnel $1.4 billion in covid stimulus money and illegal price fixing, rising inflation is a concern of the biden white house, they are conducting an investigation into price-fixing and chicken processing. a stretch to blame these four companies but that is the road they have chosen. >> they could be wiped off the face of the earth.

they don't want schools to close down. jillian: are you worried the president will recommend new restrictions for your child? >> i am. i don't want my son is only 5, they will me mandating vaccines when he is eligible for a vaccine. and still have covid less than four months after getting our vaccine is my son had covid and recovered, 27 according to the data, 27 times more protective than those who are vaccinated. when he has already natural immunity. will: some parents and guardians choose to hold their child back a grade moving to a different school or as kids go back to the classroom, you're one of those

parents. why did you move your son to another school? and holding back a grade? >> there was a simple decision after how much he did not learn last year. he had software that was more complicated than anything including the master program. to expect a kid that can barely read and write to use dropbox and submit files, wasn't as streamlined as any college i have ever seen and cookie-cutter stuff together, there were times assignments couldn't get done for a week or two because they couldn't access the course work or have access code and kids in second grade, in private school.

it was just a disaster and did not get anything out of it. didn't learn anything. todd: the burdens we are facing the last 18 months are incalculable. hope the president says something today and guides us in a way that doesn't had more. thank you. jillian: four terrorists go from gitmo to the top in afghanistan. todd: janice dean on the twentieth anniversary of 9/11. >> this is marine one, provided all the water that day almost 20 years ago.

the one gentleman is supposed to be the mastermind for the fall of afghanistan. >> up close and personal and learned, learned about our breasts and who we are as a nation to retake afghanistan and see how successful his plan in 11 days. >> we have americans and afghan allies in afghanistan, knowing what we know about the taliban and the scenes we watched play out over the last few weeks? >> those people having probably been killed, the way that caliban operates. jillian: when bo bergdahl was freed in exchange for these prisoners, you said it is not a surprise but do you think it

would lead to this, that this is how the war in afghanistan would come to an end 20 years later that this would be the moment it brought us to right now? >> as soon as the taliban opened an office in qatar the people of afghanistan knew the taliban on the world stage, the threat was still there and that is why afghanistan in 11 days, negotiated with terrorists, traded these prisoners which is horrifying that we legitimized people for an army private, should have been not important in the scope of anything, army private should not has been important in the history of the entire war. it is shocking, the whole thing is heartbreaking, this is terrible. the absolute worst ending but as soon as we traded those prisoners and legitimized the

taliban it was over. jillian: what about now? >> absolutely. it is out and you saw the attack on the airport inside their country and everything but who knows what is going on, we don't know. it will be the same we saw prior to 9/11. jillian: thank you for joining us, appreciate it. todd: we are remembering those from the fallout of the tragedy. harry wanamaker worked for 3 straight days before passing away from cancer in 2010. >> janice dean remembers 37 year. >> the rain has started. i'm trying to hold off the rest of the morning but it is appropriate this morning.

leave afghanistan. two-part question number one, why do we believe anything the taliban is saying unless we see it to come true. number two, wasn't this the threat all along when we left and left it to taliban rule? >> of course this was the threat. and we should neff listen to the taliban at all. this all could have been avoided and i think frankly everybody knows it at this point. we never should have left americans behind. we never should have left green card holders behind. we never should have left our interpreter and people who helped us on the ground behind. we should have stayed until the job was done. this administration can't make deadlines with g.o.p. senators but they are going to listen to the taliban about an artificial deadline. it is insane. the fact that they are blocking charters is not a shock to anybody at all. because the taliban is going to exert whatever authority it wants because, let's be very clear, this diplomacy that the white house talked, about the negotiations that they are talking about, this is about money. that's what they want. they want to see the relief money or forgive them money. so the taliban is going to exert whatever authority it needs to

get that done to accomplish their mission. it's sad and not only a joke for america but the president of the united states and what our foreign policy has become. todd: is the white house simply ignoring the g.o.p. request for those numbers or is this proof that the white house has no idea what these numbers are in the first place? >> actually, i think it's both this white house has been ignoring g.o.p. requests on everything since this administration took over. they're the least transparent administration, i think, we frankly have ever seen in our country. there has been letters from us talking about everything from immigration to. pfment p loans they don't respond. i'm not shocked they are not responding to this on a much broader point i don't think they know how many americans are left over there always guessing game with big round numbers to think they are providing information to frankly reporters but really they don't have the concrete number themselves. jillian: i want to go back to something you said a minute ago all about money.

argument is fair. like the domino effect when you give an inch they take a mile. if they get what they're looking for, what are they looking for next? it seems like and i don't know tell me if you see it any other way it seems like never ending cycle when you give them even one little thing that they want that's never going to be enough. >> i think you are right that assessment. look, the taliban get, this and i think, many unfortunately our enemies and allies are looking at this as well. when you know you have a fast one, you are write it for everything it's worth. they know they have a fast one with this president. they know he's weak. they know he is not going to stand up to them. they will push it for everything that it's worth. our allies knew this was going to happen, which is why they did not want to leave on this artificial deadline. they wanted to extend the perimeter. they wanted to make sure they got everybody out on their terms, not on the terms of the tall back. and our enemies are watching this. and they are making plans accordingly. todd: congressman, we were promised by antony blinken staying with the money for a moment that we had financial leverage over the taliban

appears in this case we don't have any leverage. >> no. that's a joke. there is no such thing as leverage. the only leverage in that part of the world is force. we don't have any force leverage over there because we left. we tucked tail and we left there was no reason to. we had every ability to stay and do what needed to be done. but, when you show that kind of weakness to the taliban, they are going to exploit it. jillian: got about 30 seconds left is there anything this administration, this president can do at this point in time to somewhat reverse course if you will even though if you use the term reverse course i'm sure they are not going to agree they would need to? >> frankly, at this point, it doesn't look that good at all. i'm not quite sure what our options are at this present time because a lot of things happening on the ground the president and his national security too many are aware of. hard to comment on that at this time. jillian: sure. todd: congressman, you knew i would go to this at this point. you had a close one this weekend

against the notre dame fighting irish, let's face it, you guys showed some fight and that's good. florida state, of course, being the team. >> listen, i told you about a month and a half ago that they were going to be back. we looked great against number 9. trust me, we will be there. todd: you heard it from the congressman. jillian: congressman, have a good day. you have a good day, too. here is "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ >> the white house says they will not allow stranded americans on chartered flights to land at u.s. military bases. >> are we going to allow planes with hundreds of people we don't know who they are. reasonable questions. >> larry elder and his campaign had eggs thrown at them. >> a white woman wearing a monkey mask threw an egg at a black democratic candidate this would be wall-to-wall coverage. jillian: hours from now president biden will tremendous on plan. >> sowing a lot of discuss. dramatically fallen away from science. >> now we
