this and that is growing. that's exponentially what has gotten out of control. countries like bulgaria where they have a 20% vaccination rate in the highest infection rate in europe. it's undeniable. when you're not vaccinated, you are a bull's-eye. we will see how it goes and whether the president makes that case or others. that will do it here. ♪ ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone. i am dana perino with judge jeanine pereira, geraldo rivera, jesse watters and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." fox news alert. at any moment. we got the two-minute warning. president biden is set to announce major new covid mandates. the plan includes forcing all federal workers to get vaccinated or risk being fired as well as requiring businesses

with over 100 employees to mandate vaccines or require weekly testing. the president will also pressure entertainment and sports venues to enforce vaccine passports for entry: schools across the country to set up regular testing for students, teachers and staff. jesse wins the contest for guessing correctly, the most correctly as to when he would start. we are going to watch this whole speech and will be on the other end of it and you'll get everybody's take on what he says. jesse, initial thoughts? >> jesse: i look back and i notice a few months ago, he said he was against mandates. psaki said he was against mandates. that was the white house policy. now they are announcing mandates. i recall july he announced independence from the virus. months later he is saying we need to defeat the virus. i have a new plan. the americans don't trust this guy anymore. he booted afghanistan. you've got to look through everything he does to the prism

of afghanistan. it doesn't add up. you have 75% of adults in this country who already have the vaccine shot. here he is. we'll see what he says. >> president biden: i want to talk to you about where we are the battle against covid-19, the progress we've made in the work we have left to do. it starts with understanding this: even as the delta variant 19, covid-19 has been hitting this country hard, we have the tools to combat the virus. if we can come together as a country and use those tools. if we raise our vaccination rate to protect ourselves and others with masking, expanded testing, and identify people who are infected, we can and we will turn the tide of covid-19. it will take a lot of hard work. it's going to take some time. many of us are frustrated with

the nearly 80 million americans who are still not vaccinated. even though the vaccine is safe, effective, and free. you might be confused about what is true and what is false about covid-19. so before i outline the new steps to fight covid-19, that i'm going to be announcing tonight, let me give you some clear information about where we stand. first, we made considerable progress in battling covid-19. when i became president, about 2 million americans were fully vaccinated. today over 175 million americans have that protection. before i took office, we hadn't ordered enough vaccine for every american. just weeks in office, we did. the week before i took office on january 20th of this year, over 25,000 americans died that week

from covid-19. last week that grimm weekly toll was down 70%. three months before i took office the economy was faltering, creating 50,000 jobs a month. we are averaging 700,000 new jobs a month. in the past three months. this progress is real. while america is in much better shape than it was seven months ago when i took office, i need to tell you a second fact. we are in the tough stretch and it could last for a while. highly contagious delta variant that i began to warn america about back in july spread in late summer like it did in other countries before us. while the vaccines provide strong protection for the vaccinated, we read about and hear about and we see the stories of hospitalized people. people in their deathbeds among

the unvaccinated over the past few weeks. this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. it's caused by the fact that despite america having unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost five months, free vaccines have been available in 80,000 different locations, we still have nearly 80 million americans who have failed to get the shot. to make matters worse, there are elected officials actively working to undermine the fight against covid-19. instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated and mask up, they are ordering mobile moorings for the unvaccinated dying in their communities. it's totally acceptable. third. you wonder how all this adds up, here's the math. the vast majority of the americans are doing the right thing.

three quarters of the eligible have gotten at least one shot. but one quarter has not gotten any. that's nearly 80 million americans not vaccinated. a country as large as ours, that's 25% minority. that 25% can cause a lot of damage, and they are. the unvaccinated overcrowded or hospitals, they are overrunning emergency rooms and intensive care units, leaving no room for someone with a heart attack or pancreatitis or cancer. i want to emphasize that the vaccines provide very strong protection from severe illness from covid-19. i know there's a lot of confusion and misinformation. but the world's leading scientists confirm that if you're fully vaccinated, your risk of severe illness from covid-19 is very low.

in fact, based on available data from the summer, only one out of every 160,000 fully vaccinated americans was hospitalized for covid per day. these are the facts. here's where we stand. the path ahead even with the delta variant is not nearly as bad as last winter. what makes it incredibly more frustrating is we have the tools to combat covid-19 and a distinct minority of americans supported by a distinct minority of elected officials are keeping us from turning the corner. these pandemic politics are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die. we cannot allow these actions to stand in the way of protecting the large majority of americans who have done their part and want to get back to life as normal. as your president, i'm

announcing tonight a new plan to require more americans to be vaccinated to combat those blocking public health. my plan also increases testing, protects our economy and will make our kids safer in schools. it consists of six broad areas of action and many specific measures in each and you can read more about it at whitehouse.gov. whitehouse.gov. the measures. these are going to take time. to have a full impact. but if we implement them, i believe in the scientists indicate that the months ahead, we can reduce the number of unvaccinated americans, decreased hospitalizations and deaths, and allow our children to go to school safely and keep our economy strong by keeping business is.

first, we must increase vaccinations among the unvaccinated with new vaccination requirements. nearly 80 million eligible americans who have not gotten vaccinated, many said they are waiting for approval from the food and drug administration, the fda. last month the fda granted that approval. so the time for waiting is over. this summer we made progress with a combination of vaccine requirements and incentives as well as the fda approval. 4 million more people got their first shot in august and they did in july. we need to do more. this is not about freedom or personal choice. it's about protecting yourself and those around you. the people you work with. the people you care about, the people you love. my job as president is to protect all americans so tonight i'm announcing that the

department of labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ 80 million workers to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week. some of the biggest companies are already requiring this. united airlines, disney, tyson foods, even fox news. bottom line, we are going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated coworkers. we are going to reduce the spread of covid-19 by increasing the share of the workforce that's vaccinated in businesses all across america. my plan will extend the vaccination requirements that i previously issued in the health care field. already i've announced we will be requiring vaccinations at all -- of all nursing home workers

who treat patients on medicare and medicaid because i have that federal authority. tonight on using that same authority to expand that to cover those who work in hospitals, home health care facilities or other medical facilities. a total of 17 million health care workers. if you are seeking care at a health facility, you should be able to know that the people treating you are vaccinated. simple, straightforward, period. next, i will sign an executive order that will now require all executive branch federal employees to be vaccinated, all. i am signed another executive order that will require federal contractors to do the same. if you want to work with the federal government and do business, get vaccinated. if you want to do business with the federal government, vaccinate your workforce. tonight i'm removing one of the

last remaining obstacles to make it difficult for you to get vaccinated. the department of labor will require employers with 100 or more workers to give those workers paid time off to get vaccinated. no one should lose pay in order to get vaccinated or take a loved one to get vaccinated. today in total, the vaccine requirements in my plan will affect about 100 million americans. two-thirds of all workers. for other sectors, i issue this appeal. to those of you running large entertainment venues, sports arenas, concert venues, movie theaters, please require folks to get vaccinated or show a negative test is a condition of entry. to the nations family physicians, pediatricians, general practitioners, you are

the most trusted medical voice to your patients. you may be the one person who can get someone to change their mind about being vaccinated. tonight i am asking each of you to reach out to your unvaccinated patients over the next two weeks and make a personal appeal to them to get the shot. america needs your personal involvement in this critical effort. my message to unvaccinated americans is this: what more is there to wait for? what more do you need to see? we have made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. the vaccine is fda approved. over 200 million americans have gotten at least one shot. we've been patient but our patience is wearing thin. your refusal has caused all of us. please do the right thing.

don't take it for me. listen to the voices of unvaccinated americans who are lying in hospital beds, taking their final breath say "if only i had gotten vaccinated. if only." it's a tragedy. please don't let it become yours. the second piece of my plan is continuing to protect vaccinated. the vast majority of you who have gotten vaccinated, i understand your anger at those who haven't gotten vaccinated. i understand the anxiety about getting a breakthrough case. but as the science makes clear, if you're fully vaccinated, you're highly protected from severe illness even if you get covid-19. in fact, recent data indicates there's only one confirmed positive case per 5,000 fully vaccinated americans per day.

you are as safe as possible. we are doing everything we can to keep it that way. keep it that way. keep you safe. that's where boosters come in. the shots they give you even more protection than after your second shot. now, i know there's been some confusion about boosters. so let me be clear. last month our top government doctors announced an initial plan for booster shots for vaccinated americans. they believe a booster is likely to provide the highest level of protection yet. of course, the decision of which booster shots to give and when to start them and who will get them will be left completely into the scientists at the fda and the centers for disease control. while we wait, we have done our part. we have bought enough boosters, enough booster shots in the

distribution system is ready to administer them. as soon as they are authorized, those eligible will be able to get a booster right away. tens of thousands of sites across the country for most americans. your nearby drugstore and for free. the third piece of my plan and maybe the most important, keeping our children safe and our schools open. for any parent, it doesn't matter how low the risk of any illness or accident when it comes to your child or grandchild. trust me. i know. so let me speak to you directly. let me speak to you directly to help ease some of your worries. it comes to two separate categories. children ages 12 and older who are eligible for a vaccine now and children ages 11 and under who are not yet eligible, the

safest thing for your child 12 and older is to get unvaccinated. they get vaccinated for a lot of things. that's it. get them vaccinated. almost all the serious covid-19 cases we see among adolescents are in unvaccinated 12 to 17-year-old, and age group that lags behind vaccination rates. parents, please get your teenager vaccinated. what about children under the age of 12 who can't get vaccinated yet? well, the best way for a parent to protect their child under the age of 12 starts at home. every parent, every teen sibling, every caregiver around them should be vaccinated. children have four times higher chance of getting hospitalized if they live in a state with low vaccination rates, rather than states with high vaccination rates.

if you're a parent of a young child, you're wondering when will the vaccine be available for them? i strongly support independent scientific review for vaccine uses for children under 12. we can't take shortcuts that scientific work. i have made it clear i will do everything within my power to support the fda with any resource it needs to continue to do this safely and as quickly as possible. our nation's top doctors are committed to keeping the public at large updated on the process so parents can plan. known to the schools. we know that if schools follow the science and implement the safety measures like testing, masking, adequate ventilation systems that we have provided the money for, social distancing and vaccinations, children can be seen from covid-19 in

schools. today about 90% of school staffs and teachers are vaccinated. we should get that to 100%. my administration is already required teachers of the schools run by the defense department because i have the authority as president of the federal system, the defense department and the interior department to get vaccinated. that's an authority i possess. tonight i'm announcing that we will require all or nearly 300,000 educators in the federal head start program must be vaccinated as well to protect our youngest, most precious americans. and give parents comfort. tonight i'm calling on all governors to require vaccination for all teachers and staff. some already have done so. we need more to step up. vaccination requirements and schools are nothing new. they work.

they are overwhelmingly supported by educators and their unions. all school officials trying to do the right thing by our children. i'll always be on your side. let me be blunt. my plan also takes on elected officials in states that are undermining you and these life-saving actions. right now local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs. talk about bullying in schools. if they'll not help, if the governors won't help beat the pandemic, i'll use my power as president and get them out of the way. the department of education has already begun to take legal action against dietz undermining protection that local school officials have ordered. any teacher or school official

whose pay is withheld for doing the right thing, we will have that pain restored by the federal government 100%. i promise you i will have your back. the fourth piece of my plan is increasing testing and masking. from the start, america has failed to do enough with covid-19 testing. in order to better detect and control the delta variant, i'm taking steps tonight to make testing more available, more affordable, and more convenient. i use the defense production act to increase production of rapid tests, including those that you can use at home. while that production is ramping up, my administration has worked with top retailers like walmart, amazon, and kroger. tonight we are announcing that no later than next week, each of these outlets will start to sell

at home rapid test kits. at cost for the next three months. this is an immediate price reduction for at-home test kits for up to 35% reduction. we will also expand free testing at 10,000 pharmacies around the country and we are committing $2 billion to purchase nearly 300 million rapid tests for distribution to community health centers, food banks, schools so that every american no matter their income can access free, convenient tests. this is important to everyone. particularly for a parent or a child -- with the child not old enough to be vaccinated. you'll be able to test them at home and test those around them. in addition to testing, we know

masking helps stop the spread of covid-19. that's why when i came into office, i required masks for all federal buildings and federal lands and airlines and other modes of transportation. today, tonight i'm announcing that the transportation safety administration, tsa, will double the fines on travelers that refused to mask. if you break the rules, be prepared to pay. by the way, show some respect. the anger you see on television toward flight attendants and others doing their job is wrong. it's ugly. the fifth piece of my plan is protecting our economic recovery. because of our vaccination program and the american rescue plan which we passed early in my administration, we have had record job creation for new administration.

economic growth unmatched in 40 years. we cannot let unvaccinated undo this progress. turn it back. tonight i'm announcing the additional steps to strengthen our economic recovery. we'll be expanding covid 19 economic programs. it's going to allow small businesses to borrow up to $2 million from the current 500,000 to keep going if covid-19 impacts their sales. these low interest long-term loans require no repayment for two years and can be used to hire and retain workers, purchase inventory, or even pay down higher cost debt racked up since the pandemic began. i'll also be taking additional steps to help small businesses stay afloat during the pandemic. six, we are going to continue to

improve the care of those who do get covid-19. in early july, i announced the deployment of surge response teams. these are teams comprised of experts from the department of health and human services, the cdc, the defense department, and the federal emergency management agency, fema, to areas in the country that need help to stem the spread of covid-19. since then, the federal government has deployed nearly 1,000 staff including doctors, nurses, paramedics in the 18 states. today i'm announcing that the defense department will double the number of military help teams that they will deploy to help their fellow americans. in hospitals around the country. additionally we are increasing the availability of new medicines recommended by real doctors, not conspiracy

theorists. the monoclonal antibody treatments have been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization by up to 70% for unvaccinated people at risk for developing severe disease. we have already distributed 1.4 million courses of these treatments to save lives and reduce the strain on hospitals. tonight i'm announcing will increase the average pace of shipment across the country of free monoclonal antibody treatments by another 50%. before i close, let me say this. communities of color are disproportionately backed up by this virus -- disproportionally impacted by this virus. we will ensure that equity continues to be at the center of our response. we will ensure that everyone is reached. my first responsibility as president is to protect the american people and make sure we have enough vaccine for every american, including enough

boosters for every american that's proved to get one. we also know this virus transcends borders. that's why even as we execute this plan at home, we need to continue fighting the virus overseas, continue with the arsenal of vaccines. we are proud to have donated nearly 140 million vaccines to over 90 countries. more than all other countries combined, including europe, china, and russia combined. that's american leadership on a global stage. that's just the beginning. we've also announced shifting another 500 million covid vaccines, pfizer vaccines purchased to donate to 100 lower income countries that need vaccines. i'll be announcing additional steps to help the rest of the world later this month. as i recently released the key

parts of my pandemic preparedness plan that america isn't caught flat-footed a new pandemic, coming as it will, next month i'm also going to release a plan in greater detail. let me close with this. we have made so much progress during the past seven months of this pandemic. the recent increases in vaccinations in august already are having an impact in some states were case counts are dropping in recent days. even so, we remain at a critical moment, critical time. we have the tools. now we just have to finish the job. with truth, with science, with confidence and together as one nation. look, we're the united states of america. there is nothing, not a single thing we are unable to do if we do it together. so let's stay together.

god bless you all and all those who continue to serve on the front lines of this pandemic. may god protect our troops. get vaccinated. [shouting questions] >> dana: there was a lot and we are going to get everybody's thoughts on the commentary. he spoke for about 26 minutes. he packed a lot in there. he had a lot of i would say divisive statements and then at the end said there's nothing we can't do if we don't do it together. so i guess there is unity of the end. so much to talk about. jesse, you are the one who was silent. now i am dying to know what you're thinking. >> jesse: he's an angry man, bitter man. he is humiliated by the afghanistan situation. he is upset with the economic recovery, where it should be but it's not to be taking the anger

out on the unvaxxed. the country has been lied to for three decades. why do you trust a politician or the media telling you anything. instead of uniting the country against this pandemic had against china because that's where it came from, he's trying to divide the country against itself for political exploitation. you know who people trust? they trust their doctor. instead of doing all this that means nothing, give the doctors the shots. have the doctors in private practice shelve the shots. they can stick these things and people's arms. you can get rid of all that other mistrust when you do that. he's obviously poll tested mandates. he never said mandates. its requirements, that's the new word. the federal government mandates very interesting so there's about 2 million federal government employees. let's say 70% are vaxxed so that's half a million that aren't vaxxed. he is going to fire half a million government employees are

not getting the shot? if he does that, he is the greatest bureaucratic reducer. he gets rid of half a million federal employees. wow. that would be a big deal. if you have more than 100 workers and your company, you've got to jump through all this red tape. they are going to fire people to get to 99. you don't do that during a labor shortage and it's going to create turmoil in the economy. he was also speaking to these vaccine extremists. these people that have the two shots and i can't wait for their booster. they wear a body condom when they leave the house and they are living like it's spring 2020, deep quarantine. afraid to go to the grocery store. he is telling them i'm on your side. it's these nasty unvaxxed masses, these are the people that are hurting us. then he says if the economy doesn't recover, it's their fault. he has already set up the excuse that if this doesn't warn her out, it's their fault. he said we have done our part,

federal government, quote-unquote and then license has governors or discouraging vaccinations. that's a bald-faced lie. not a single governor has said that. declaring war on abbott and desantis. he's coming for you. mission accomplished moment cleanup. when he said we are free from this in july, he's backpedaling. if he gets away with this paragraph, he will be bloodthirsty. imagine what he gets away with next. >> dana: great thoughts. i'm glad we came to you. greg, he said many of us are frustrated with the 80 million who aren't true. >> greg: it's true. i live with one. you hear that from the media. >> dana: people who are interviewing. is that speech going to persuade any of those people? >> greg: the great unifier is saying those who are vaxxed are

that of those who aren't. it's not true. it's fair to gin up more animosity division. he said that the unvaxxed of the new terrorists, that's what he did. he showed more anger toward that 80 million. that he actually won't specify what constitutes 80 million. he showed more anger toward them than the orderly and kind taliban. the very businesslike -- he lied so much. the whole thing was he was blowing his own horn because he blew it in afghanistan. this was his way to show that maybe he is competent so we had to gin up the fear. interesting game of saying everything is great but it could just totally goto hell in a minute and it wouldn't be my fault. then he's comparing before he got there until now. people have to remember this is a guy that said don't trust the vaccines.

that's the guy, the same guy who said that is now saying people who say that are publicly dangerous or endangering public health. blocking public health was the word he used. he talked a lot. the thing that bugs me most about it is that he found an easy target. it's a target that the media likes to punch. it's a punching down thing but he won't say who they are. i don't trust anyone, especially him, who says the only way to get back to normal is to do x. but they keep changing x because of how it affects them politically. his government said we are not doing mask mandates. three weeks ago. i'm sorry, vaccine mandates. that changed. he has basically created unlimited power. he has unlimited power. he could have private businesses fire employees. >> dana: i'm interested. we have lawyers here at the

table. can i mention one thing. when president biden and kamala harris said be skeptical of the vaccine because it was developed under president trump, it was about a year ago to the day. it was in the fall time frame right after labor day is the election was really heating up. can i ask you, judge, your general thoughts. i do think about the fact that small business administration, the irs, saying that a small business is 1500 employees. now he's saying if you have a business have a 100 employees. this has to go through a rule making process. it's not like he can immediately say it. it's going to go to court. would people who want to challenge and have a case. >> judge jeanine: they can certainly challenge it. i don't know they would have a case. right now we are in a pandemic so what's happening is the courts are going to bend to the pandemic. let me tell you about the absurdity of all this and i agree with jesse and i agree with greg. we were yapping during this press conference. he starts by saying, this is a

quote, "we are all frustrated with the 80 million nonvaccinated." comes out of the gate right away and says it. he says they're the ones who are "keeping us from turning the corner, causing people to divide." these are all quotes. it's not about your freedom or your personal choice. then he says "i understand your anger." constantly ginning up anger in our society. all this marxism thing following through everything they are doing and you're right he was a year ago when they said i'm not taking it if it's a trump vaccine if trump supports it. let me ask a really dumb question. if it's something like 75% of americans have at least one shot and are for those of us to have two shots and have already had it. i have had both shots. i have already had covid. so my antibodies are through the

roof. how at risk from someone who doesn't get the vaccine? would you explain to me how they are in danger? how are they endangering me? >> geraldo: your grandchildren are at risk. >> judge jeanine: my grandchildren are at risk? okay. >> geraldo: they are unvaccinated. >> judge jeanine: the grandchildren are not the ones at risk. children are at risk like 65-year-olds. comorbidities. i love you, geraldo, here we go. public schools are not opening but because the teachers don't want to teach. it's another excuse. let me say one more thing i know you're going to go on. i am sick and tired of his going up against abbott and desantis. and then saying to the flight attendants, you know what, show some respect for the flight attendants. maybe some of the flight attendants ought to show some respect us. if you are trying to feed a 2-year-old yogurt without a mask on and they decide to throw the mother off.

i could go on and on about the absurdity of people who don't have power who are suddenly engaged and have power and then abuse it. >> jesse: what about when he says the virus transcends borders? [laughter] wide open borders. >> judge jeanine: last thought. he's making sure they have more. the delta variance, wait until the mongolian variance comes in. the one from turks and caicos. [laughter] everybody is bothering me. i am turning this out. >> dana: geraldo. >> greg: that is the government coming after you. >> geraldo: i almost totally disagree with greg and jesse. and i love them. they are reasons people generally speaking. this was our president who was doing something that he feels necessary to curb an emergency that has already, ladies and

gentlemen, taken more lives than the american civil war. let's put it in the context. if you know it. doesn't it bear context and repeating? this is what we are talking about. we're not talking about, you don't have a right to drink if you're 19 years old or you don't have a right have a license before you're 16. this is about life and death. he is impatient. he's angry. he thought he would be remembered as the president who crushed covid and instead covid is threatening to crush his agenda. so of course he is in every way frustrated. >> greg: it's about afghanistan. come on. >> geraldo: how could you not allow him an instance of sincerity. >> greg: never. >> geraldo: presumption of sincerity. everything he says, you reject. >> greg: that's not true. >> geraldo: ladies and

gentlemen, there is long settled law in the united states of america that your freedoms cannot infringe on my family's health. you don't have the right to spread smallpox or measles or polio or whatever it is to my family. i have a right to protect my family. my government has the obligation to protect me and my family. right now you have schools teetering in the balance. look at football that starts tonight. what happened when the president says we have to go back to know fans in the stands again? we get that, we understand this is horrible to go backwards. listen to the man. >> jesse: geraldo, if he destroys football season, we impeach. >> judge jeanine: no one is going backwards. >> geraldo: if we don't listen. get the vaccine. >> judge jeanine: three quarters of the country have the

vaccine. >> geraldo: i have grandchildren. you have to get vaccinated. >> judge jeanine: people made the decision. if they have comorbidities. >> geraldo: you have no right to make a decision that negatively impacts my family? >> judge jeanine: you know what, they have the right to do whatever they want to do. i'm sick and tired of saying this party or that party. >> geraldo: there's not a lawyer watching who does not believe the president of the united states was well within his legal and constitutional -- >> judge jeanine: i never said he wasn't. >> jesse: just because it's illegal doesn't make it right and you should know that. >> dana: i want to say one thing. i think the speech could have been given on monday. we are about to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11. the situation in afghanistan. i do think he very much wanted to change the subject but he wanted so badly he burned the house down. we'll have more of "the five" up next.

personal to me. it was horrible. i see judge jeanene nodding. to be here and then see your friends and neighbors get murdered, i hated the taliban. i wanted everyone of them murdered. i carried a gun in afghanistan because i wanted to kill them myself. i said that i would slit in lawton's throat i had the chance. deep breath. and yet it seems to be generally speaking with the exception we all know about in the demonstration here the rest. they have basically kept their word in terms of letting our people go. the latest flight today, 130. i believe that the charter planes will ultimately get out. there's insurance issues and there's a lot of -- i think

right now we did the right thing negotiating with the taliban to get our people out. we screwed up the evacuation then negotiated and the taliban have basically kept their word. >> greg: dana. i have said this a million times. negotiation is self extortion. we advertised our willingness to be extorted over the health and safety because we were going to go in there. >> dana: and the hasty retreat you create a position where now you're having to ask them to be nice to you. instead of saying from the beginning we are getting are people out. you will see your rear end down and shut up until we tell you you can get out. that's how you would do it. that's not what happened. we may never know what's being given to the taliban. i think we should go back for a second. remember the rose garden ceremony where bowe bergdahl's

father was there and susan rice, national security advisor, called him an american hero. the taliban said in order for us to give you this one guy, your god, we would like five enemy combatants from gitmo. to give you this one guy, your guy, we would like to get five enemy combatants from gitmo. they said no it's going to have to worry about these guys. we've got it taken care of. here we are, this was going to happen on saturday. we mark the 20th anniversary of al qaeda knocking down the buildings, flight 93, the pentagon, they are going to migrate their government. that includes four of the five enemy combatants. >> jesse: that's a great reason why the country doesn't trust joe with the vaccines. they do dumb deals and then lie about it and it blows up in your face. joe biden's state department was preventing americans from leaving. the taliban was preventing americans from leaving. maybe jen psaki is right, they

are working well together. joe biden actually said, this is a quote "american citizen stranded there, we're going to stay until we get them out." another lie! these are all lies. he actually brought back refugees and men with child brides from afghanistan while he stranded americans. think about that. >> greg: and they probably weren't vaxxed. [laughter] >> jesse: they launched a drone strike and set it hit isis k. it might've taken out a family of ten. joe biden is on the phone with the president of afghanistan telling the president to lie and say things are going great. maybe we'll give you more weapons and air cover if you say that, if you lie so i get political cover. the president was impeached for that, his name was donald trump. and he's checking his watch while coffins are coming back? multiple times. the media is trying to cover it up. blows up the meetings with the families of the fallen. they are disgusted with him

because he not connecting so they walk out. this guy is a joke right now,jo. >> greg: there you go. sb 27 is up next. "one more thing" is up next.

and you are next. >> jesse: everyone is excited about this feeding frenzy at the table. >> greg: not happening. >> jesse: remember we tried at this flaming cheetos ice cream? >> dana: not bad. >> jesse: flaming hot cheetos mountain dew. i'm not going to say it because we don't want to disrupt the sponsorship, everybody, bottoms up. down the hatch. >> dana: is he mandating us. geraldo, what do you think? you. >> geraldo: curelgds my mustache. >> judge jeanine: i think that would be good with vanilla ice cream. >> geraldo: geraldo's edition. >> jesse: i'm not done. i asked you how you liked it. jean jean okay? >> jesse: i'm not finished. i'm on tucker tonight. we have harry elder.

>> geraldo: you have larry elder? >> judge jeanine: lap dog, a big pub puppy and 28 million views. hearts across the world. he is playing the drums on his bowl. that's it. that's the end of it. 28 million views. that's it. >> dana: that's it for us. "special report" suspect next. >> bret: that one went off the rails there at the end, dana. thank you. good evening, welcome to washington. i'm bret baier. president biden lays out his new plan to deal with the delta variant of the coronavirus. we will get your thoughts and questions about the coronavirus pandemic and the return-to-school during our exclusive segments with education secretary miguel cardona and the surgeon general dr. vivek murthy. that begins shortly. first, some of the other headlines today. one of the president's new policies requires vaccinations for employees of the executive branch. and contractors who do business with the federal government. he is also urging the 80 million
