>> thank you for watching fox news prime time this week. don't forget to catch my podcas from the kitchen table. we have a new episode every saturday. larra logan is in poor tucker carlson up next. >> good evening and welcome to especial addition of tucker carlson tonight i am lira logan. the occupational safety in health administration or osha was established and the 1970s to inspect workplaces in establish standards to prevent industrial accidents. but starting this summer, the biden administration gave them new role, joe biden told them t

start hiding information from the public to promote the covid vaccine. until this summer, osha require employees to retain records of any worker who suffered a serious side effect from the vaccine. then in june, the guidance suddenly changed to this. quote osha will not enforce a direct recording requirements that require any employers to report side effects from covid 19 vaccinations. that was a major change, especially since we are still learning so much about these vaccines in their possible side effects. just hours ago for example, the telegraph in britain reported that quote teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer heart problems from the vaccine then be hospitalized from covid 19. in in israel were more than 80 percent of adults are vaccinated, covid cases are spiky.

israel has one of the world's highest daily infection rates. heat exclude that in his remark to the nation joe biden didn't answer that. instead, he put osha, the same agency that has been hiding evidence of vaccine side effect in charge of forcing millions o americans to take the covid vaccine. joe didn't even bother to ask congress for a he said the new mandate is justified because covid is a quote emergency. then he walked away without taking questions once again. let's look at the facts on average, more than 98 percent o covid 19 patients and the unite states survive. that number, is well over the 9 except for the very elderly whether they are vaccinated or not. meanwhile, we know that million of americans have natural

immunity from previous covid infection. study show they have far greate protection than the vaccine can provide. tony fauci was just asked about this on cnn if people have natural immunity, why do they need the vaccine? he couldn't answer. >> as we talk about vaccine mandates i get calls all the time people saying i've already had covid, unprotected, and now a study says may be even more protected then the vaccine alon perch at they also get the vaccine? how do you make the case for that? >> that's a good point, i don't have a really firm answer for you on that. that is something we are going to have to discuss regarding th durability of the response. >> discussed the durability of the response. i don't have a firm answer for you on that great why are we forcing people with natural immunity to take the shot? why are illegal immigrants exempt from the order. the biden administration won't answer those questions either.

of course our media is fine wit all of this. >> today president joe biden announced some mandates that he hopes will free the rest of us from this pandemic and tried to move more people to get the vaccine, to do the right thing. you know what, good for president by didn't hurt. >> of course the federal government can meet basic healt in safety regulation. >> i agree with them on the spread. >> he in his administration understand, they are on the right side of both the politics in the substance here. they need to get covid under control and it is not contained right now. >> i think you should approach this with an ironfisted in i think that the overwhelming majority of the country is goin to be deeply appreciative of somebody's standing up at long last in saying to the small minority of nuts in this country , enough. >> i think i 100 percent agree.

>> a small minority of nuts meanwhile the doctors on cnn an msnbc are insisting that joe biden's new mandate doesn't go far enough. to get a don't think the president went far enough i was hoping he would be on travel by unvaccinated people beginning i november. i also thought the president should have embraced a digital difficult to counterfeit verification system. >> there is more mandates i wis he would have given. i think mandating vaccines for air travel, train travel, or interstate bus travel, would also be important. >> i don't think it goes far enough. i think would be said about interstate travel was exactly right right i would say he didn't go far enough i would have loved to have seen him, bu i know it would be a step too far to have domestic travel mandate for vaccination.

>> the problem is as a legal matter this is not trooper the supreme court has ruled repeatedly that the right to travel is protected by the constitution and there is a bigger issue here. not long ago our public health said that vaccine mandates woul never happen. a year ago tony fauci called it a conspiracy theory. quote, if someone refuses the vaccine and the general public, then there is nothing you can d about that he said. you cannot force someone to tak a vaccine, only now, he endorse mandatory vaccines for everyone including children. things are changing so quickly, that kamala harris can't seem t keep up. here she is reading the old talking points yesterday. >> needless to say, the rights of women to make decisions abou their own bodies is not negotiable. the right of women to make

decisions about their own bodie is their decision. it is their body. >> as kamala harris was saying that, joe biden was announcing his vaccine mandate for million of americans fraid fortunately, some republicans are resisting this. jd vance for example is calling for civil disobedience the republican national committee and several state governors are filing lawsuits. where while all of this lead? we will get reaction from that. none of the biden administratio mandates are going to distract us from covering the debacle in afghanistan. recently the pentagon claimed i killed in isis target near the kabul airport. now we're learning what really happened. fox's matt finn has that story. >> a, new york times investigation said the last known missile fired by the united states and the afghan wa

on august 29th which the biden ministration called a righteous strike might have actually killed ten innocent people including seven children in a u.s. aid worker. the shocking report basically shows step-by-step video of reportedly loading canisters of water into his trunk to bring t his family for the u.s. militar was surveilling the man and thought those jugs of water could be explosives and that he was communicating with isis. so the u.s. punched a hellfire missile obliterating the man's car in his driveway and a dense residential neighborhood. military officials at the drone strike might have killed three civilians, but the new york times now tallies ten innocent people killed. army general mark millie said the strike was valid because there was reasonable conclusion that there were explosives and the white to a debt in the u.s. had good intelligence that they were planning an attack of the new york times says has it spok

to witnesses on the ground who said he had multiple passengers in his car that day in he did that denied looting or seen any explosives and that he was not related to isis verity had worked as an electrical enginee since 2006 for a california-based aide and lobby group. his family insists he was innocent in applied for a refugee settlement here and the united states. we will keep you updated on thi developing story. >> incredible that they have to guess instead of just really they should know if somebody is talking to isis or not. the biden administration has lied about that drone strike, they've lied about every other aspect of the war in afghanista including the botched evacuatio from kabul and we have the evidence. that is straight ahead on this edition of tucker carlson tonight.

more than two weeks since 13 american service members in about 100 afghan civilians we'r killed by a suicide bomber outside the kabul international airport. the news cycle and the biden administration well, they want you to move on. they are doing everything they can to make sure you do things including maxine mandates from the chaos that they created. we all remember the scenes they want us to forget. afghan desperately clinging to the u.s. on the airport runway. afghan mothers, passing their children to american soldiers over an airport wall. in videos the taliban showcasin their new state-of-the-art military arsenal thoughts and paid for by you, the u.s. taxpayer. everything was still unfolding great it wasn't only preventable , it still is, and worse than that, we allowed it to happen.

we're not doing anything to change the outcome here. at any moment, joe biden in his officials in his administration could stop this. they can still use their power, diplomatic economic, superior military, but instead they choose to blame our allies, man of whom are still there and still fighting. >> afghanistan political leader gave up and fled the country. the afghan military collapsed. sometimes without trying to fight, we trained in equipped a afghan military force for some 300,000 strong, incredibly well-equipped, a forest larger in size and the militaries of many of our nato allies we gave them every tool they could need. >> in then you took them away i one moment, you had air support the contractors for the afghan

airport, everything great and it's simply not true that they just gave up and fled the country. the afghan government courses that the u.s. trained are still fighting the taliban and other islamic terrorists including th afghan al qaeda in every region just north of kabul. its the last standing and the entire country that these terrorists do not control. the taliban, what they do control is the information flow. they want you to think it's all been conquered. all the democratically elected head of the country who was vic president at the time the president in became acting president, they want you to believe that he along with all the forces that soldiers in thi country have fought beside and all of our allies there for decades have not been abandoned by joe biden. they are there and continuing t fight the islamic terrorists wh were responsible for 9/11 with

no help from the u.s. at all. while the enemy they face is supported by their allies, pakistan, china, iran, in others . while our senior military leaders at home question there will, they have been abandoned. >> the afghan security forces have the capacity and by that i mean they have the training, th size, the capability to defend their country. this comes down to an issue of will and leadership in no, i di not nor did anyone else see a collapse of an army that size i 11 days. >> will and leadership. interesting. curious to see if he actually knows what those mean because not only did we abandon our allies, the u.s. is actively working with their enemy, which until a very short time ago was our enemy too. the taliban, if you consider what secretary of state anthony

blinken said, is now our best friend on the eve of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, think abou that. the 20th anniversary of 9/11. is this how you want your leaders to speak about terrorists who killed thousands of americans? >> our engagement with the taliban and with a government interim or long-term, we'll be for purposes of advancing the national interest, advancing ou interest, the interest of our partners in that relationship with us, with the international community will depend entirely on its actions. >> how is turning a terrorist group into a nationstate and th interest of the united states? that is a question that just is not. yesterday told emily horn, she

praised the taliban who had bee murdering their way across afghanistan for their quote cooperation in allowing u.s. citizens to board a commercial flight out of afghanistan sayin quote they have shown flexibility in they have been businesslike and professional i our dealings with them in this effort. they haven't allowed greenhorn cardholders and our afghan allies who are most vulnerable and high-risk to leave, but who exactly is the white house raising as businesslike and professional? it's a question that is worth asking. so we looked into it. shortly after the taliban entered kabul in mid august, it deputy commander and man named who also runs his own terrorist organization known as the high county network, he in his uncle in charge of security and the afghan capital.

so with the exception of the airport itself, which was being secured in operated by u.s. forces, the rest of kabul and the country is what joe biden called behind enemy lines. that was under the control of the network, so who are they? according to the u.s. government , the network is a foreign terrorist organization, the united nations agrees with that, this network has been on the united nations sanction lis since 2012. in in fact, he and many members of his family are among the mos wanted terrorist and the world, the fbi has been looking for hi for some time. they want him so badly they put a $10 million bounty on his hea and a $5 million bounty on his uncle said. well, you know, we have news fo the fbi tonight, if they are still looking for him in his uncle, they can look up the address of the interior ministr

in kabul, because he's been rewarded for his murderous efforts by being made the new interior minister and he's in charge of all of the borders an the security, so if you are looking to claim that reward, perhaps you want to donate it t the taliban humanitarian crisis because that is the excuse that the u.s. is using to send yes, you guessed it to come up more of your tax dollars too terrorists. these people aren't on the list for no reason. they have killed people they've killed a lot of people. many of them commit u.s. soldiers, hundreds by some conservative estimates, also hundreds of forces. they've killed thousands of afghan civilians in according t more than estimates or than 10,000 afghan soldiers and policemen. it might surprise you to learn that these are the very same people that the biden administration turn to for help and the last desperate days of the evacuation that they handle

so poorly. the biden administration actually asked the terrorists t secure safe passage to the airport for u.s. citizens in green card holders. one source told us there is no way that this commercial flight that american citizens had just left the kabul airport could have done so without the coordination in approval from that network, which is also illegal under u.s. law. negotiating with and speaking t and supporting terrorists. but, is it any wonder that 13 americans and so many afghan civilians we're killed at that airport when that is your security proud? it doesn't bode well for the future of cooperation in afghanistan because i shall remember, the very same people are the ones the biden ministrations that are going to help the u.s. as a

counterterrorism partner. general mckenzie had so much confidence in these people who had been killing americans for the last two decades that he said we are sharing information with them now too. >> the other thing is we share portions of this information with the taliban so that they can actually do some searching in we believe that some attacks have been thwarted by them and we also use the taliban as it cooled to protect us, we share common purpose. as long as we keep that common purpose aligned, they have been useful to work with. they've cut some of our securit concerns down. >> a common purpose with terrorist it's just hard to believe that we've gotten to this point. now tonight, we can confirm tha there is one kind of intelligence the u.s. has left behind and the hands of the taliban, this is the biometric database in the scanners that come with that capability that

are called interagency identity detection equipment where there are multiple reports of these devices being used not by the u.s. in kabul, when people were boarding those planes, but by the taliban in the islamic terrorist that they work with a the checkpoints that we were sending our american citizens and vulnerable afghan allies to get to the airport to try to leave the country since the biometric data like i scans and fingerprints of every single person who worked with american in nato forces. these are people that the taliban will say can collaborated in those devices enable the terrorist to hunt them down anywhere. they can find anyone who worked with and for the u.s. or the afghan government or anyone who believes and the idea of freedom , he can find them anywhere they are. these are individuals the ones relying on us who turn to us fo help after we turned and relied

on them. we don't have to imagine what their fate will be. the head of the intelligence community joins us now with a lot more information on these devices in what it means for them to be and the hands of terrorists. keith, what do you make all of this? >> it is really unfortunate because he's running a large suicide network is reportedly working with using the information off these devices t track down our intelligence assets in informants. they have five report the names of all the folks that helped us from 2002 through 2021, and are using that information from these biometric devices to hunt them down, find their houses, and locate them. >> so you are somebody who actually knows there aren't man americans i can say that. he once called you if i recall

directly, he referred to you as a very bad man. tell us about him and the network. >> he is the terrorist version of tony soprano. with him it's always about the money. he just today or actually earlier today, like you mentioned was and the northeast corner of the airport on the second floor of the ministry interior building. he told all the press, the friendly press that they couldn't take his picture because he's done so many bad deeds, he still concerned that the americans will come after him. as you mentioned, he's going to be there tomorrow, so maybe you and i could split the reward because i know the department o state has a $10 million reward for information where he is and it's my understanding he will b on the second-floor. >> there are certainly a lot of afghans i could use that money because although american citizens are slowly being able to leave the country in we are

where does that leave green car holders and afghans who have worked with the u.s. or the special operations forces that were fighting right up until th last moment? >> that information on their scanners gives their addresses and all their information because that's how they were paid, so these folks are hiding and the fact that the state department in the military are working with them to screen or vet the manifest is ludicrous. anybody that he would pass through, we know doesn't need t leave the country because their safe for eight anybody who wouldn't pass through, he's going to be hunting and we've given him the information. >> you have spent a lot of time in afghanistan, how insane is i to you and many other members o the special operations communit in the armed forces that the u.s. is actually saying things with a straight face like we're going to work with the taliban to hunt down terrorists in afghanistan.

>> it's like they're living and an alternate universe as you an i both know, there's a lot of good people trying to help folk get out of afghanistan. while our military leaders in our intelligence community leaders in our political leader are saying we're going to work with these terrorists that we have been working against our entire time in afghanistan to help the people that helped us find them leave it doesn't make any sense. >> think you've so much for that . i know you are as concerned as many others about the afghans still fighting and the country, thank you so much for being wit us tonight he just booked to tucker about the biggest challenge and he is facing and how he got through. it is a story you haven't heard anywhere else. the must watch interview is straight ahead on this special edition of tucker carlson tonight right now on tucker carlson.com, you can still orde

>> rick santorum sorbent as a senator from the state of pennsylvania for more than a decade he became a political commentator in having really spoke to him for a new episode of tucker carlson today the conversation wasn't just about politics, rick santorum shared deeply personal story about the most challenging moment in his life. just part of the conversation. ♪ >> they find out that their child is disabled in they don't want their child anymore. and it was stunning to me that she would make that a mission, that you would call the ranks o the disabled and so that was a central part of my date my end

got up and i said, many stories but one was i said my wife was 19 and pregnant, i have a sonogram scheduled the next wee at 20 weeks, and i don't know whether my child is going to be healthy or not, but if my child is somehow not healthy, i'm not going to kill it, why would i kill my child just because my child has a medical problem? you love the gift that god give it for however long god gives i to go. we don't know how long we're going to have our children or how long we're going to be alive . so i say that, and a week later we have the sonogram in we are sitting there going over this one spot on the sonogram in he says i have to get the doctor. the doctor comes in and says he looks at me and says as cold as i can ever remember he said you

son has a fatal defect and he's going to die. so this was during my time with where i'm sort of growing in my faith in having this experience and i talk about finding the lord, taking on this great what i thought was an important mora cause for the country in then boom, you know, i remember having this conversation with god and saying here i am trying to follow your path, and you take my son? so it was devastating. we did everything we could to try to save his life we had him at the children's hospital in philadelphia had intrauterine surgery to try to fix the problem. our little boy lived for two hours. i thought you know, what are yo doing. why are you doing this? god why, why, why, the greatest

question everybody who goes through tragedy, why did this happen to me? and what happened, it wasn't me it was my wife who made it all come together. every time we keep diary to share it with a kid so this is what it was like and so she could share this notes note straight she was need don't neonatal intensive care nurse, so pregnancies were joyful time and she would keep notes very she was keeping notes about our son so she kept writing these letters to him. hoping someday he would read them. so she wrote these letters in a the end, she kept writing because it was her way to get the stuff out so she wrote this and her mother read them who would last a child 50 years ago and from acids death in it just broke her up and she said we

have to publish this. we have to publish these letters . anyway, we found a catholic publisher to publish it, it sol out in it still around it's called letters to gabriel. >> what an unbelievable story i you can watch tucker's full interview with rick santorum. go to fox nation.com what an amazing show tucker has there. vaccines aren't mandatory at th southern border. illegal immigrants are still streaming into this country in we are now learning that the situation at the border has jus deteriorated substantially. that is straight ahead.

i may not be as pretty. i'm not a cable tv personality or an entertainer like larry. i'm the businessman, the only cpa running for gov ernor. california is a mismanaged mess. taxes, cost of living, water, wildfires, homelessness. these aren't political issues; they're readily fixable management issues. career politicians? celebrities? i've solved problems all my life.

let's fix this great state!

>> welcome back to the special edition of tucker girls night bird apprehensions on the u.s. mexican border are now at a 20 year hybrid retired captain wit the justice department a public safety who spent the last few

years doing nothing but working on this problem in he joins us to assess the deterioration of the situation at the southern border. jason, we all know the southern border is bad right now. but how bad is it really becaus for the most part, we're not paying attention anymore. >> it's good to be with you, thank you for having me. here is what were really seeing when you look at this border surge and what's breaking down. the thing we really have to think about is we can't look at the border the way we used too. it's not a us-mexico issue. the world is coming and the dat from the united states customs and border protection proves that. they apprehended people from over 148 countries and the firs ten months of this fiscal year. in addition, we're also seeing more fennel from the cartel specifically then we have ever seen before which is perpetuating this overdose

crisis at two unbelievable levels for their third and fina thing were really seeing that i concerning is this adjustment from the cartels from human smuggling into human traffickin in to just make everyone aware of how this is really playing out across that southern border especially within the area of south texas, we are seeing wristbands. these wristbands were collected along the southwest border and this is what they're putting on men, women, and children. when you see these where they are tight like this and they haven't been broken off, this i because they were placed on the child. it goes to show how they treat people is a commodity. with the bands really represent as a process, just like law enforcement is having a difficult time keeping up with the amount of people crossing the southwest border, so are th cartels. they are tagging people like a commodity. some of the latest things were seeing, some of the latest tactics that we are seeing

because they're always changing is even single males in single females who are always runners because they are apprehended they go back to mexico, so they are running, now it agents are seeing and the last few weeks i there wearing to wristbands and that is breaking news right her on this show first is that the pso has been paid, the second i the city and the state of texas or around the country where there going. >> so basically, business is booming for the cartels and people are paying the ultimate price for that. and, you said the world is coming to the southern border. so how does what is happening i afghanistan prepped factor into this because you've just now taken a terrorist group and given them an entire country. >> absolutely. there is already been historically smuggling routes they go from afghanistan over t brazil and then upgrade let me clean a little bit.

they use what we referred to as long-haul smugglers were afghan will pay this directly 15000- 20,000 per person. they receive fake passports and fly into the gulf states of qatar or saudi arabia and then an additional flight over to south america to brazil. from there the smuggling groups basically just daisychain like they do everybody else all the way up from the gap into mexico and then from there, that's where the cartel starts chargin these incredible fees to get them in. we have seen that for some time. i am concerned right now with what has been happening that we are seeing mass groups of peopl surging in altavista and countries surrounding afghanistan. we have about a 6-8 week window before we're starting to see people hit the southern part of south america. the reason that is important is because homeland security enterprise and programs that we have downrange have already bee derailed because of the amount

of people crossing through the darien and other areas. i won't go into much detail other than to say that now we'r adding this crisis in afghanistan to an already crisi going on at the southern border and the world knows that if you come to the southern border, you're going to make it into th country. >> which means every terrorist that wants to try to get into the united states through the southern border knows they can do so great thank you so much, for that last line of defense. on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 the biden ministration has just handed al qaeda a major victory. everything they wanted actually. that is straight ahead on this special edition of tucker carlson tonight

special edition of "tucker carlson tonight." tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the september 11th terrorist attack on this country. the united states invaded afghanistan to hold the taliban accountable for their role in aiding and protecting al qaeda in those attacks. now the tele- ban -- taliban is back in power, a senior fellow and senior editor of stds long r journal. one of the few that have been on the subject from the very start. he joins us to assess the last two decades in afghanistan. tom, one of the things i have been wanting to ask you to explain for a very long time is this complete and utter farce said that the administration is perpetuating that the taliban and al qaeda and isis-k and all

of these groups are in distinction and there is no relationship between them. nobody knows more about this than you. please break it down for us. >> you know, lara, in an earlier segment you were focused on sir june and connie the deputy emir of taliban since 2015. and i want to put this in context where your viewers tonight a little bit, his father was usama bin laden's first benefactor, he was the first guy who actually protected and sponsored usama bin laden in afghanistan and in fact, al qaeda was incubated in the camps in eastern afghanistan. so his son has carried on the for him. and the last 20 years, he has worked closely with al qaeda. when we went to the compound, though show that al qaeda was working on the battlefield in afghanistan, working politically. he and his family members for a

ransom exchange that they had taken hostage. really working with them all the time. and this is something that he even admitted, and in fact, al qaeda has worked so closely with him when usama bin laden son had to be protected from the u.s., it was actually the right-hand man, who was responsible for protecting bin laden. so when we look at to the leadership role in the taliban, we have to ask, is it really the taliban, or are they a part of al qaeda? i think there's plenty of evidence showing that they are so intertwined that it does not make sense to play connect the dots between the two? >> lara: the only time it makes sense is when you're trying to get americans not to pay attention to the fact that on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 right at that very moment the united states is trying to sneak in recognition of the taliban

islamic rhetoric. and as far as i know, the islamic emirates according to usama bin laden is the caliphate that he wanted to establish, isn't it? >> it's the cornerstone of the caliphate that they want to establish. usama bin laden successor is called the nucleus that they imagine they want to resurrect. washington's policy here is really morally and intellectually disgraceful. the idea that they are going to try -- that some people, we don't know if it is the -- they want to recognize it as legitimate is unbelievably disgraceful. just days after they took power in mid-august, took over most of afghanistan in mid-august, days after they took control of afghan national television and ran on documentary called "victorious force three" they glorified 9/11 on afghan national tv. so all afghans turning on the tv saw the documentary not from the respect of americans recognizing

the solemn day and remorseful type of manner, no, it was a glorification of 9/11 and blaming america for the attack. they would not blame al qaeda or usama bin laden, they said america deserved it. so the idea that taliban is a counterterrorism partner in something separate from al qaeda that we can trust to keep the terrorists at bay is ludicrous. >> lara: and it is dishonest, right? it does not even have a shred of truth to it. so, a lot of people feel like they are in some sort of fantasy universe here, because it is so ridiculous that we are buying into this, and nobody understands it. and i just want to say thank you to you, john, because no one has done more for all of the years, although lying, you have never wavered from telling the truth. it's greatly appreciated. that's about it for us tonight. tune in every weeknight at 8:00 p.m. eastern to the show that is the sworn enemy of
