3:03 am
travel 21 blocks up to to constitution avenue and actually sit physically in it. >> can you tell us where you are today? >> yes, i'm at the state department. >> oh, couldn't be bothered to come counsel here and see congress, all right. that's great. griff: when it came to accountability for the administration's failures, in planning and execution, democrats threw a lifeline allowing blinken to revert to a familiar playbook blaming the previous guy. >> how meticulous was the planning for the trump administration declared may 1st withdrawal? >> we inherited a deadline. we did not inherit a plan. >> no plan at all. it's amazing that it wasn't much, much worse. >> blinken also unable to put exact numbers on how many americans, green card holders and siv applicants are still stranded in afghanistan and at the mercy of the taliban government. blinken admits falls shorts of international standards. meanwhile not a single person in the administration has been fired over the fallout as a growing chorus of republicans
3:04 am
called for blinken's resignation. >> i believe that you, sir, should resign. that would be leadership. >> your bizarre abandoning of bagram airfield led directly to 1 marines murdered in kabul. you should resign. >> what do you want to hear from the biden administration. >> two words: i resign. >> there is more heat to come. blinken testifies later this morning before the senate foreign regions committee. this time though he is expected to appear in person. we will see what happens. pete, ainsley, brian? brian: all right, griff. thanks so much. ainsley: going to be in person this time. brian: he is going to show up in front of the senate. i just hope they get a little bit more time. three minutes, brian mast just blew it off said i'm just talking the whole time. i already heard what you have to say. i'm not buying it but you're not going to stop. ainsley: he lost both of his legs in afghanistan and he knows what's happening on the ground. i don't want to hear him talk because it's all a bunch of lies. pete: they stand up, take no accountability and no responsibility. brian: blame trump.
3:05 am
pete: blame trump and add false choices and straw men. argue whether people want to get out in the first place. all anyone is talking about how they actually handled it here is brian mast. and how he really got to the point yesterday. everybody looking for explanation about what happened and how everybody got it so wrong. how your administration got it so wrong needs to look at that as the most likely explanation. asking the president to manipulate the intelligence of what was actually going on with the taliban and i'm going to tell you the 13 families that deserve most to really hear the honest answers to that it's these families. his family truly deserves to know if that's why they are missing their son because intelligence was manipulated. i absolutely wonder if you are complicit in this as well. i find it hard to believe president biden would do that without you being aware of this. these are things i deserve to know. i do not believe a word you are saying on this. i do not wish to hear from you. >> simply put, congressman, what you said is dead wrong. >> i don't want to wish to hear your lies. >> the gentleman's time is
3:06 am
expired. the secretary can answer the question. >> i didn't ask a question. >> yes you did ask a question. >> i don't want to hear. >> the gentleman's time expired. >> we are hear to hear from the secretary. >> not to hear lies. ainsley: he wasn't alone there were a few others that were calling for his resignation. had you brian mast who said i don't want to hear your lies. you had tim burchett who said blood is on your hands. wills said closing bagram led to the death of 13 americans. lee zelle begin wants him to resign. cia chief michael more relevant biden's chaotic retreat absolutely inspired jihadists and emboldened terrorists around the world. brian: make sure al-qaeda doesn't come back. al-qaeda is back. zawahiri who leads easel pediatrician i should say. gave his taped address probably a month ago in afghanistan. so they are there in numbers. they are in the cabinet. now they said by the way, i left, i pulled out 120,000
3:07 am
people. i'm not really sure who they are. but most of the sivs are still there. the americans roughly about 100. i never heard of rounding off the number but we accept that reportedly and the democrats did yesterday. they want $6.4 billion to relocate and line up, resettle afghans in our country. you said yesterday you don't know who they are. how are we supposed to know who we are. we are shooting their iris and hope to get a hit because we have some d.n.a. on them or biometrics on them but we have no clue. who thinks this was a good idea? who thinks this was done well? who believes this was because of donald trump? pete: that is what you are saying, brian, the exacerbation and what brian mast said, this was the first moment anyone had an actual opportunity, people responsible for this policy in the eye and say will you take any account snbility and they -- not one moment did tony blinken say we should have done this better or we should have done that better. they have taken no moment at all
3:08 am
to step back and wonder maybe handing the biometric data over to the taliban? they are doing the same screening right now. killing the people worked with us. afghan national army folks on the ground and he has nothing to say about it. ainsley: times of london reporting at least four american trained antiterrorism agents are being tortured and murdered. one victim had all fingernails pulled out before being shot dead. "the washington examiner" has video posted on social media purportedly shoght the taliban beheading an afghan soldier. other videos of women being whipped. also a campaign now on social media the afghan women are hitting back at the taliban because they have enforced this strict dress code now they started this online campaign to protect against these new strict dress codes and they have #do not touch my clothes. many of them are posting pictures of colorful traditional dresses. are. brian: as much as i want to look forward because we have to deal with what we have. give up bagram air base going to china to move in on it russia,
3:09 am
iran, and pakistan i told you sue gordon a week ago who has been in intelligence for 25 years said we are going to have to deal with nontraditional allies in order to get intelligence. do you know who those traditional allies are china, russia and iran. not traditional allies. we call them enemies and ask them for permission to kill terrorists before they kill us and lastly, this is what they should have drilled in on yesterday. on the transcript, the president president biden basically asked ghani to lie about the reality, the perception is that you're not winning. change that and general milley did the same exact thing. don't tell me that you had no idea that government was about to fall and you are requesting to the hamptons while at the same time the president of the united states is telling the former leader of the country to not tell the truth about losing a war when he was desperate and said i have 10 to 15,000 coming through the pakistani border financed by pakistan, at least give me air cover and millie
3:10 am
says no? biden says no. but, yet, they are shocked they lost. pete: well, they are working with the business-like and professional taliban. ainsley: exactly. pete: when you talk about intelligence and don't have human intelligence and only signals intelligence you have strikes like we have in kabul where they said they killed an isis bomber after the 13 were killed but they actually killed u.s. aid worker and his family. brian: according to the "washington times" and new york. who who was loading water jugs into his trunk. pete: if you are using digital or signal or chatter that's the outcome can you get as opposed to killing bad guys. ainsley: he faces the senate today and apparently show up in person this time. he was questioned about that. we're here why aren't you here? i'm zooming from the state department. you couldn't come down here? pete: he was given the option we were told and he stayed home. a live look at galveston, texas nicholas makes landfall overnight. ainsley: system a tropical after tipping over gas station awning. people along the gulf coast are bracing for potentially life
3:11 am
threatening floods after they got hit with ida already. brian: wow, president biden approving emergency declaration for louisiana as more than 450,000 people are already without power. janice dean all over this with the fox weather forecast. hey, janice. janice: that's the terrible part of the story even though it made landfall across texas, guess who is getting the worst of the storm? louisiana. that was affected by ida almost a category 5 just a couple weeks ago. winds around the galveston area even into houston at least 40 miles per hour. so the system even though they have downgraded to a tropical storm it doesn't matter. the legacy is going to be the same. it's going to be heavy rainfall. flash flooding. so we have flash flood warnings in effect around the galveston, texas area. and look at louisiana for all of these areas that were hard hit by ida in towards mississippi, alabama, even the florida panhandle. this storm is going to move so slowly over the next 40 to 60 hours. that is the biggest concern is that even though it will weaken the heavy the threat will be ongoing for the next couple
3:12 am
days. additional rainfall already we have seen totals of over 8 inches. we could see in excess of 8 to. even close to 20 inches of rainfall, and, again, along these areas that were hit by ida. so that's going to be "the big story." a lot of these areas, hundreds of thousands of people still without power and just a quick look. it is peak season, low pressure off the coast of africa and area of low pressure around the bahamas. a lot to keep track of. we will keep you up to date. louisiana this is going to be a big story because they were catastrophic damage just a couple weeks ago from ida. back to you. pete: call me whatever you want. janice: sorry, pete? oh my goodness. i apologize. you know i love you. brian: we don't see many people in person. ainsley: first day in school. the anchors keep changing. janice: i'm looking. i know your name. it doesn't come out of my mouth. pete: call me any name you would like.

cost $35,000 per plate. it's unclear if aoc purchased her own ticket. those are your headlines, guys. i thought she was a woman of the people. >> $35,000 a plate? brian: is it her goal for us to talk about her? >> she does tweet a lot. ainsley: message to everyone there. biggest celebrities, the wealthiest people go to that event. carley: rubbing elbows and loving up on them i'm sure. pete: while you were reading that brian said how come i never get an invite. brian: did i say that. ainsley: i said would you really want to go and he said no. carley: brian, always next year for you. brian: love to sit around in the corner when everyone refuse to sit with me. i would probably just put nypd up pin on and be totally alone. thanks so much, carley. i will say one thing is pretty clear tax the rich is already being done in new york they estimate that if you are in the upper bracket paying 61% of your
3:21 am
money. brian: keep 4 of every $10. pete: work to july. brian: most of those people work 67 hours a week. ainsley: i can't believe that's a winning message. look at california. many taxes are outrageous there people are moving out in droves yet still ahead in the poll. pete: everyone's corporate rates, individual rates, any money you invest all going up. brian: talk about the recall election. we he know gavin newsom the first thing going to vote for yes to recall him or no. if the answer is yes, recall him. they look to see who has the highest votes. because that person is the next governor for the next year and a half until gavin newsom's natural term four year term was done. couple of things beyond reproach, he was their golden boy. he was the future of the democratic party. the question was would he run in 2020 or 2024. then all of a sudden governor cuomo emerges and he has a scandal. now this guy is actually running
3:22 am
for his political life. ainsley: well, he mishandled the covid, how california handled covid and so people say he stayed up. so many signatures in order to have this recall. gray davis is recalled and that's how arnold schwarz got the job. succeeded him. he was only the second governor in u.s. history to be recalled. the polls are more favorable for gavin newsom right now. larry elder is the front man for the republican side. and joe biden, he waited until last night, he flew out to california, and he campaigned for gavin newsom. watch this. >> all of you know the last year i got to run against the real donald trump. [laughter] this year the leading republican running for governor is a closest thing to a trump clone that i have ever seen in your state. can't let that happen. too much at stake.
3:23 am
here's why it's so important for y'all to vote no on a recall. we will be protecting california from trump republicans trying to block us from beating this pandemic. women are to be respected and the rights protected. you will be protecting california from another trump climate denier. i'm going to make this as simple as i can. you either keep gavin newsom as your governor,. [clearing throat] or. [cheers] >> you will get donald trump. >> no. pete: wow, awe inspiring stump speech right there. brian: i feel a chill up my leg. pete: somehow donald trump is on the ballot. obviously he is showing up hoping to take credit for what he sees or believes to be gavin newsom's upcoming victory. we will see. but, he also ultimately it's a reflection of how they plan to gin democrat support.
3:24 am
there is nothing to say for gavin newsom or crime nor hip city nothing to say for them. ainsley: french laundry. pete: they make it all about trump in hopes that they can gin up enough democrats to get across the 50% line the state is full of democrats. brian: larry elder almost never brought up the former president. it's not about donald trump. it's about this. it's interesting because they are trying to find out what works for 2022 and desperate attempt to hold the house and senate. but, just think about this. they are so concerned about gavin newsom, i'm wondering what their polls are different from what i'm seeing because nancy pelosi has been out there. vice president harris has been out there. president obama has spot for him radio and television. the president comes out and, of course, stands in front of a wildfire blames climate change for that and tries to sell his build back better agenda. here is larry elder. he is running for -- running to
3:25 am
be the next governor because gavin newsom has got nothing to run on. listen. >> crime doesn't have a color. the homelessness doesn't have a color tore party. the decline in quality education doesn't have a color or party. i support school choice. the number one obstacle to school choice teacher. the number nun it proponent is teacher's union. why they would pull that lever for the democratic party that stops them for the number one path to escaping poverty is to at least finish high school is beyond me. i will break this jedi mind trick stranglehold that have over black and brown voters. obama, and sanders and senator warren came to california weighed in on this race when they cannot defend the indefensible record of my opponent. brian: ends up raising 7 omillion dollars to hold off larry elder. netflix and labor unions all rally to his side. unbelievable how panicked they're getting in a state that
3:26 am
outnumbers republicans two to one. there is something going on here that we are not even seeing because the latest poll, i guess, said 538 group has gavin newsom with 56% saying he stays. ainsley: um-huh. they say he is struggling with the latino voters going door to door. it. pete: yes. every indication is that he should win but every other indication feels a lot like 2016 in that way. in that the under swell the reality of the people in california is, give somebody else a shot. gavin newsom hannity hasn't done it i think there could be, who knows? who knows? but there could be some interesting results tonight especially on the turn out day of. the rolling -- how many days have you had an opportunity to vote in california, mail in? weeks and weeks and weeks? it's been a roll in election. ainsley: they like to vote in person. democrats like the mail-in process. if we're looking at the mail-in ballots right now. it will be interesting to see how many republicans show up. this is the first state to
3:27 am
mandate that teachers had to be vaccinated or had to get regular testing in public and private schools. you have the homeless issue. people are upset with him which really was the catalyst for all of this when he was shutting down the restaurants. you couldn't go and dine indoors or had that lady on our show crying and so upset because she paid thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars to have that tent in the backyard yet he was allowing hollywood to use their tent to feed the actors and the actresses yet her restaurant was shut down. she couldn't pay her bills. brian: all right. so rose mcgowan factored into this race over the last 48 hours. ainsley: famous actress. brian: famous actress attacked by harvey weinstein, the disgraced producer. and she sat down with tucker carlson for an exclusive interview. but she also campaigned for larry elder over the last two days because of what happened to her. evidently she was approached by gavin newsom's wife. what can we do to make your accusations against harvey weinstein go away? and that exercised her that he
3:28 am
should not be governor where she went out for larry elder. here she is talking about her experience with gavin newsom's spouse. >> i think my opponents do not understand my motivations at all. they have tried to buy me off every way. in fact, gavin newsom's ex-wife, weinstein story broke. they knew i was coming. hiding out three years in hollywood publicly in the press. so people all of a sudden acted like i just spoke up the first day they read about weinstein. i'm like no, i have been ratling their cases i had to train people in the media to listen to me differently. if they saw me as actress this all would not have worked. i had to set up a domino affect worldwide and show people if you fight and strategic and very smart about it you can cut off the head of rotten power inner stead of biting at the ankles with picket signs. pete: see tucker's interview with rose mcgowan tomorrow at 4:00 on fox nation? brian: do you think it helps?
3:29 am
pete: hasn't helped when liberal actresses comes out for liberals maybe when they come out and willing to say hey, try something different, maybe it does have an a difference. i'm used to you telling me to vote tore socialists, now you are telling me to vote for larry elder. ainsley: she doesn't always vote for republicans or democrats. she says she listens to the issues. in this case she doesn't like what gavin newsom's wife allegedly did and so that's why she is not voting for gavin newsom. she was in charmed and she was in scream. and a few other things. brian: okay. meanwhile 29 minutes after the hour. this is the only show we are starring in right now. i will tell you what's coming up next. officers risk their lives to protect us. that doesn't stop democrats from pushing their defund the police message and,. pete: pete our next guest's wife only female nypd officer killed on september 11th 20 years later her husband is call out anti-police politicians. ♪ ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel ♪ [man: coughing]

it was the remnants of ida. 10 inches of rain fall. so the bottom line is it doesn't matter if this is a hurricane or a tropical storm. the result is going to be the same and that is heavy rainfall all along the coast. east of the center of circulation. we could also see the risk of tropical tornadoes and the ground is already saturated so some of these trees weighted down with all of that moisture we're going to see the potential for more trees down and the power lines as well. hundreds of thousands of people still without power for parts of louisiana, southeast texas well. flash flooding is going to be the biggest concern from this certainly 8 to 10 inches of rainfall across wide swath of the gulf coast. but some areas could get isolated amounts of 20 inches plus. that is my biggest concern, especially across areas that were hit hard by ida. we had almost a category 5 hit this area. and to see rainfall totals of 8 to 15 inches. that's going to be, you know, absolutely catastrophic on top of the damage that they saw a couple of weeks ago.

3:38 am
september 11th and they want to, you know, take pictures with the police, have their arms around the police officers and try to bask in their reflected glory, you know, just for the day and then the next day they are back to defunding the police or, you know, joe biden likes to call it redistributing money away from the police to other areas i find that to be. pete: amongst law enforcement, you were about to see you i find that to be if you are talking to other cops, what do they say about this duality. >> no one likes it but i guess we have gotten used to it. we have gotten used to politicians using us when they need us and then scapegoat us when things go wrong. and, you know, i mean can i only speak for myself but, you know, i think there is generally frustration among police officers working today and those
3:39 am
that are retired. pete: is there a more difficult job in america right now than being a police officer and do democrats have any idea? they look at 9/11 but do you believe they haved in idea how difficult that job is? >> i think few people understand how difficult it is for police officers, and their families. you know know what's going to happen. am i ever going to see them again? when i said goodbye to my wife in the morning, i didn't realize i was never going to see her again. so that's always in the back of your mind. so, it's tough on the families. and it's a tough job. right now in america, it's got to be the hardest job to try and serve and protect while you are being attacked from all sides and not supported by your own departments and your own cities. pete: 9/11 you sore right was the ultimate example of what cops do every day. which is put themselves in the line of fire for people they have never met and knowing they may not come home and maybe we need to -- we shouldn't have to recall days like that where your

>> we have been patient but our patience is wearing thin and your refusal has cost all of us. so, please, do the right thing. brian: i'm sorry your patience is wearing thin. i don't mean to try your patience. president biden's lack of patience has fueled him to require vaccine mandates for companies with more than with 100 or more employees even though he said he wouldn't do that or face weekly testing while struggling to explain how it works. the confusion prompting a trade giant coca-cola, general mills, to send a letter to the white house demanding immediate clarity. joining us consumer brands association jeff freidman. jeff, what are your questions? for example, how do you implement what he put in a speech? >> brian that is the question. we support the president's goal healthy workforce we want to increase vaccination rates our companies have been putting in place countless incentives to encourage them to get vaccinated. now that the federal government
3:46 am
has stepped in the devil is in the details how do we implement this in effective manner? what tests qualify? what is the right documentation for tests who is covering the costs for the tests. when it comes to vaccine which vaccine is acceptable? one shot? two shot? boosters countless questions to work through. what we are asking for the white house for is a partnership. this isn't going to work with a top down order. have a partnership to work through these questions so this plan can actually be successful. so, what have you heard back? >> so far the administration deep into this we haven't had the depth of the conversations we are looking to have. throughout the pandemic a big concern of ours is the federal government has been good to make orders, good to encourage the private sector to do things but slow on its responses. the last time osha within the department of labor said they were going to come out with rules, it took six months to get those rules. that's not going to work. we are already 150,000 jobs short within the consumer

package goods industry. employees are confused. some are angry. we need to get rid of that. we need to get people confident and that means the federal government needs to work with the private sector to address that concern. brian: jeff, you, in your position, this is a time in which you usually taking the leap. in this way the government is trying to lead you and you are used to taking the lead. now you need the government to give you a hand here a big question is a lot of people are going to turn around say thanks. geoff i'm going to quit. you are not getting involved in my medical life. i have natural immunity or some physical reason i can't take this or i chose not to. you could lose more people. >> listen, there is value in a federal requirement. at least from the point of view of the business community and i think for the workforce it creates a level playing field among employers. it creates consistency across state lines. many of my members have facilities in multiple states. this creates consistency in the workforce. so there are good aspects to
3:48 am
this, but that employee needs to have answers. does natural immunity count? these other issues that are on their mind. we're asking for government to work with us. let's anticipate some of those questions? let's think through the challenges that are out there and roll out a plan that is a true partnership between the private sector and between the federal government. brian: right. i understand, too, because there are breakthroughs so you have going to take the vaccine and breakthroughs on top of that the other thing, geoff have you thought about the responsibility someone said i got myocarditis i took a vaccine reluctant to take anyway you as the ceo are the one that put the mandate down? >> well, that's, you know from, our industry, we have received more than 100 questions over the past five days questions like that are among those. who is really responsible for some of those issues? that's on the behind of our employers they think having a vaccine requirement can increase the number of people in the
3:49 am
workforce. they think it provides them with more certainty there is upside to this work through these together. brian: absolutely. when you starts getting involved in people's medical issues. i think it's a crazy things for business. i understand both sides. geoff freeman, thanks so much. hope you get your answers. >> thank you, brian. brian: massive migrants once again spotted gathering at our southern border. the texas resident calling out the president and the press for not paying attention to the crisis. and your mind is finally in a better place. except now you have uncontrollable body movements called tardive dyskinesia td. and it can seem like that's all people see. ♪ some meds for mental health can cause abnormal dopamine signaling in the brain. while how it works is not fully understood, ingrezza is thought to reduce that signaling. ingrezza is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with td movements in the face and body.

shots. brian: got nearly two dozen top fda advisers finding the extra jab sun necessary for most people. i know your head is spinning, right? pete: peter doocy at the white house as the struggles to get on the same page, peter, good morning. >> new debate about what it means to be fully vaccinated. the white house says that means a third shot 8 months after you get your second one. but there are now two scientists from the fda's office of vaccine research and review who say they have not seen the science yet to back up a third dose for most people. writing this: current vaccine supplies could save more lives if used in previously unvaccinated populations than if used as boosters and vaccinated populations. the fda said recently they have seen science backing up a third dose for pfizer recipients starting september 20th but waiting for more data about moderna and johnson & johnson patients. the government's language has started changing. first it was vaxxed or max of
4:03 am
masked. then protect the unvaccinated now protect the vaccinated. the vice president wrote this on twitter by vaccinating the unvaccinated increasing our testing and masking and protects the vaccinated we can end this pandemic. that is exactly what we are committed to doing. the biden white house is pushing back mandates everywhere they can. ron desantis says in florida local govs will have to cough up $5,000 every time they do that. >> i don't support mandates at all. if you are doing mandates based off, this if you are really following science, you would acknowledge this natural immunity and instead they ignore it. >> president biden is telling the republican leaders who want to challenge these mandates that he wants in court to bring it on. back to you. ainsley: thank you, peter. the fda officials say it's not necessary and cause people to suffer from dangerous side effects from no reason. the current vaccines have still effective.

you had those two fda top officials that resigned was it last week or the week before because they didn't agree with biden's stance. he was saying you need to get the booster before it was fda approved. pete: supposed to follow the science the white house pushing for a deadline the scientists say is too soon. brian: so you have a mandate coming down and things they were saying months ago was never going to happen including the president of the united states. now you have this mandate. soon they are going to say you want to fly? get a shot. pete: that's coming. auto. brian: want to hop on amtrak and local train get a shot? are you seeing american airplanes ceo you want us to check for vaccine cards as well as i.d.? you don't think the tsa is overwhelmed already? don't tell me you haven't seen a lot of these people get on planes now with absolutely no paperwork who are illegal aliens who are being dumped in various places all across our country. the southern border is wide open. tucker carlson sees a theme. he sees a theme of if we let

this go, and this mandate becomes accepted more is to come. watch. >> why is that the policy? your consent is no longer required. biden's address was the most divisive speech ever given by a moderate american president. virtually every sentence of the speech reinforced a single point again and again and it was this your fellow americans are dangerous to you they could kill you and that includes your family, it includes your friends, it includes the people you sit next to at work. all of these people are threats to you and only the biden administration can save you. it's about power. if they can make you take medicine you don't want or need, they have won. you are theirs. you belong to them. if they can force you to take a vaccine that you don't need, what can't they do? why don't they, i don't know, make you take psychiatric drugs

if you are persistently disobedient? express the wrong view get a thorazine shot? why couldn't they do that? you can imagine a panel of cnn doctors we would all be a lot safer in the mentally ill propagandist on the right got the treatment they need and stop spreading dangerous conspiracy theories. as joe biden himself told the country himself on thursday, this is not about freedom. pete: yeah, it is not about freedom. if you do not comply we will control you and tell you exactly how you will live. meanwhile, we are virtue signaling in every single aspect how we conduct our lives. you saw the tweet from kamala harris say we need to protect the vaccinated. the whole point of getting the vaccine is to be protected. yet she is in shanksville on 9/11 outside vaccinated with a mask. brian: makes no sense. pete: ground zero joe biden doing the same thing. the cameras off. as the "new york post" they are pulling down to talk coach other. it's all a sham. oh, by the way in addition to that and dr. fauci actually acknowledged oh that's a good
4:07 am
question in an interview a couple days ago. i don't know we should look into that some more the idea of natural immunity is not being considered at any level? marty makary was on tucker last night this is rarely studied a lot of people talked about. you are 27 times more effective natural immunity than vaccinated. where is the cdc on the urgency to find out if you have had covid you are in a good position and you don't need a shot. brian: can we also just drill down on this harris tweet, so nonsensical she said by vaccinating the unvaccinated it protecting the vaccinated end the pandemic that's what we are committed to doing. protect the vaccinated the unvaccinated -- what are you talking about? the vaccinated are vaccinated, unvaccinated aren't. put them in separate categories. if you want to unvaccinated people to get vaccinated that's one thing. but vaccinated people do not need to be protected from unvaccinated people. pete: no. brian: by definition. what is -- who is writing her
4:08 am
tweets? no wonder her staff is turning on each other. ainsley: so i think this is your interview, right? this is the consumer brands association president and ceo his name is geoff freeman. federal government good to make orders and encourage the private sector to do things but slow on its responses. the last time osha was in the department of labor said they were going to come out with rules, it took six months to get those rules. that's not going to work. we're already 150,000 jobs short within the consumer package goods industry. employees are confused. some are angry. we need to get rid of that we need to get people confident and that means the federal government needs to work with the light vector to address that concern that's out there. brian: can we just add that 75% of the country eligible for a shot has gotten at least one shot? 60% have gotten two? we are right there.
4:09 am
we got vaccinated we are not doctors. i don't have a stethoscope although can i purchase one at cvs for 18 bucks. my daughter insisted on getting never used kind of weird also asked for crutches and never used them and she wasn't hurt. 200 million -- this is all true. there are 200 million people with shots. who is he yell at? to me has got an issue. he is pandemic. he can't talk about the border. he can't talk about international reels. he can't talk about the economy. he has inflation going up. growth is not where it is supposed to be. the pandemic he told us was over on july 4th is not over. so he wants to yell at people. ainsley: i think it's one area where he has seen his approval ratings go up. brian: exactly. ainsley: and he knows talk about that begin to drop and starts enforcing more things because he is not doing well when it comes to the border. afghanistan. trying to change the narrative. that works for him. pete: yeah, he feels like through talking about -- in fact, that's what gavin newsom's campaign is purported to be
4:10 am
saying tough stance on covid. political incentive to look tough on a virus as you have a vaccine that was provided by the trump administration. that's the ultimate irony of someone like kamala harris. she was the first vaccine denier ultimately when she said i won't take this vaccine if it comes from donald trump. now she is saying weed me to protect the people who have the vaccine that i was against before? it's all politicized. ainsley: california recall election did i well with the vaccines we support joe biden on vaccines the guy i'm running against, the frontrunner on the republican party, larry elder that he is a clone of donald trump. those two messages they think they are going to get people to the polls. brian: yesterday, 10 manipulates after the hour, we watched tony blinken go in front of a house committee from the state department in order to try to explain himself over the course of five hours tried to explain his embarrassing, the worst international i guess the worst end toe a conflict in the
4:11 am
history of this country, 245 years. ainsley: probably the worst presidential decision have you seen in your lifetime, brian, right? brian: no question. he only had three minutes to ask questions of him. and any of these diplomats, any of these ambassadors they could just go on forever. and the whole thing is. the theme was if donald trump had a deadline but he had no plan it's all trump's fault. we did great just ebbs tending the deadline. pete: trying to defend the indefensible the entire time and did so the same way joe biden has. building up a straw man argument that everyone agrees with people wanting to get out of afghanistan but not wanting to talk about the actual execution. he even said this. he said it's always about you have to choose between ending the war or escalation it? that's not the choice anyone is talking about. and he also said this if he had not followed through on trump's plan, he said or on the lack thereof, he accused him. attacks would have resumed and the taliban's nationwide assault
4:12 am
on afghanistan's major cities would have commenced. well, the taliban's assault commenced anyway. you had intelligence and dissenting cables saying this is coming and coming quickly. if there is one guy who should be held accountable and should be held responsible, other than the put, it's antony blinken he didn't one time yesterday own up to one mistake in what was an historic and deadly blunder. ainsley: well, they are trying to say this was trump's fault. this messy withdrawal because they said they inherited this bad deal. but the way they pulled out of afghanistan was joe biden's decision and people are upset with the way it happened, obviously. because we still have americans that are trapped there behind enemy lines. and we don't know when they are coming home. they are begging to come home. he said he is estimating about 100 americans that are still there asking to return. obama's cia chief, his name is michael more relevant. more relative. absolutely inspired are terrorists around the world. you hear about the times of
4:13 am
london talking about four trained americans antiterrorism agents that they were tortured. they were murdered. all the fingernails were ripped out of his hands before they killed him. "the washington examiner" had a video posted on social media that reportedly shows the taliban beheading an afghan soldier. you hear about these women, these women have a campaign now, it's online campaign to prevent all this -- thee strict dress codes now because women you have to to be in a certain outfit in order to go outside. and they are tweeting out about it and saying sthalg do not touch my clothes and posting pictures of the outfits that they want to wear. brian: if you missed five hours, here is a little of it. >> upon taking office, president biden immediately faced the choice between ending the war or escalating it. had he not followed through on his predecessor's commitment attacks on our forces and those allies would have resumed. and the taliban's nationwide assault on afghanistan's major cities would have commenced. >> how meticulous was the
4:14 am
planning for the trump administration declared may 1st withdrawal? >> thank you, congressman. we inherited a deadline. we did not inherit a plan. >> so,. [laughter] no -- no plan at all. it's amazing that it wasn't much, much worse. brian: by the way, that's brad sherman a democrat with the phony laugh. so i just texted mike pompeo in seoul and i said it's true you had a deadline not a plan? and he said no, it isn't. he said there was no plan, what do we do if we said dead certain close bagram, pull out the military with civilians on the frowned. we didn't need to plan for chaos because we would not have had it. indeed we did not create chaos by taking those actions that resulted in this debacle. here is the plan maintain deterrence only leave once conditions are set and everyone and everything out it would have been a much different plan. i read the six pages of their plan it was an outline. it was an outline. all conditions based why is it the butcher called the state
4:15 am
department to say you take kabul, do you want us to take kabul or do you want to us take kabul? because they had a series of conditions that had to be met before they moved. he was trained that way. he said i know told them. we know exactly where you live. if you break these conditions, we will kill you. on purpose. because they got him out of prison which they probably should have never have done. he said do you want me to take kabul or do you want to? they did not know kabul was going to be empty and evacuated because ghani said i have -- this messiah chance to get money go on a plane and go to another country. pete: you just heard the democrats carrying water for the administration. well, here is the other side. representative brian mast who is, you know, lost his legs fighting these wars and gives voice, i think, to the way a lot of people feel, gone down. listen to. >> this everybody looking for an explanation about what happened and how everybody got it so wrong. how your administration to the it so wrong needs to look at thats a the most likely
4:16 am
explanation. asking the president to manipulate the intelligence of what was actually going on with the taliban. and i'm going to tell you the 13 families that deserve most to really hear the honest answers on that it's these families. his family truly deserves to know if that's why they are missing their son because intelligence was manipulated. i absolutely wonder if you were complicit in this as well. i find it hard to believe president biden would do that without you being aware of this. and these are things we deserve to know. i do not believe a word you are saying on this. i do not wish to hear from you. >> simply put, congressman, what you said is dead wrong. >> i don't wish to hear your lies. >> the gentleman's time has expired. the secretary can answer the question. >> i didn't ask him a question. >> did you ask a question. >> i don't want to hear from the secretary. >> the gentleman's time has inspired. >> lies since he stepped in front of the camera. >> we are hear from the secretary. >> not ha hear lies. ainsley: is he supposed to show up today for the senate foreign relations committee. there you saw him he was zooming in or what do you call it.
4:17 am
pete: virtual. ainsley: he didn't show up. one of the congressman, his name is scott perry. he is a republican from pennsylvania, he says where are you? why aren't you here? he says i didn't think you were in session today he said. well, we are all here and you are over there at the state department. basically, you didn't -- you didn't have the respect for us to even walk over here? brian: unbelievable. look for marco rubio to score some points today. now, to fox weather. a live look at gafl stolen, texas nicholas makes landfall as a hurricane over night. ainsley: the gulf coast is bracing for potentially life threatening floods. pete: robert ray is live in galveston, robert? >> good morning. yeah. you could see the winds behind me still whipping here in galveston island about 50 miles from the big city houston. now, nicholas came in about 1:00 a.m. central last night. at sergeant beach. that's about 80 miles to the south of where i am at right
4:18 am
now. caused multiple damage up and down this coast. we have seen flash flooding. we have seen trees uprooted. some debris off of buildings, but the biggest thing going forward here this morning is how much rain is going to fall and how much flooding will we see. in some pockets up to 20 inches is possible and houstonians don't want that they are reeling from hurricane harvey that dumped massive amounts of rain and caused rescues in that area. as nicholas makes its way through here this morning. and the light comes up, i guess we will see exactly what the situation is on the ground. but another major concern is when nicholas makes its way over to the border of louisiana and texas. lake charles louisiana that got hit by two significant hurricanes last year and another and a winter storm in february is still having issues to try and recover and get aid in that area. the last thing they need is more
4:19 am
precipitation as they have had an abundant amount, above average this year. so they are waiting. that's coming in tomorrow. but this expire gulf coast bracing for what is continuing to still happen as you can see behind me nicholas whipping and causing havoc here on gaviglio gravelsstolen island. about 20 miles away and hoping there is not flash flooding and significant rainfall. ainsley: thank you, robert. fox weather launches next month. got to watch for that. brian: janice dean has more on this urk had. janice: absolutely. downgraded to a tropical storm same results heavy rainfall as robert mentioned. the area of circulation that low pressure is right on top of houston, the worst of the rain and the storm surge and, of course, the flooding potential and the wind gusts are east of the center of circulation. so look at where this storm goes and look at the timeline here. wednesday, thursday. so, lingering moving so slowly
4:20 am
and bringing all of this moisture in from the gulf of mexico. so the flooding is going to be the elm no, i did not risk. the flooding is going to be the legacy of this storm regardless of whether or not it weakens which it will do. it will stay and sit across louisiana and that is the worst news they could have right now as hundreds of thousands are still without power. here are some of the rainfall totals already. so 8 inches plus. and on top of that, we could see upwards of 0 to 15. even isolated amounts of 20 inches of rainfall and the bulls eye. the bulls eye across coastal louisiana where they had ida a couple of weeks ago almost a category 5 storm and catastrophic damage. this is a worst case scenario, unfortunately. pete, ainsley, brian, back to you. pete: thank you, janice. brian: came out of nowhere. pete: 20 minutes after the top of the hour a top immunologist says he regrets voting for joe biden as the white house enforces strict new vaccine mandates. why he thinks the president he supportside now destructive and

>> good morning, brian. thanks for having me. i was reflecting this past weekend on the 9/11 remembrance and i remember back in 2001 how essentially every media outlet was united and transmitting the same message. you know, we are in a position where our country for the past several years has been tremendously divided and, you know, frankly as a friend to john mccain, you know, i felt that president biden stands a chance of uniting the country, acting on science, taking down the temperature, if you will. and, you know, on thursday, i finally came to the recognition as immunologist based on the rigidity of this mandate and the massive blunder that's contained within it this is not happening. i have to say the mandate as it stands essentially is to open the door to discrimination against 80 to 100 million americans naturally imhumanity. these folks are being discriminated against the
4:27 am
president of the united states pointed to them and opened the door to massive level of discrimination. it's not just verbal discrimination. we are talking about loss of employment. i can't tell you the number of emails i receive every day of americans who are naturally immune and i know from a scientific perspective and i know some of your guests in the past have talked about this certainly dr. makary has been on with tucker and variety of different posts. natural immunity is as effective, if not no so than vaccine immunity. so the notion that the president of the united states leaves the door open to this level of discrimination against a massive class of americans is just totally unacceptable. brian: do you know what i was struck by with your huge -- with this rich background university of pennsylvania. this is your area of expertise. but you say it's unscientific. it's illegal but you also say it's unethical to give somebody a vaccine when they have natural immunity and if 75% of the country has already gotten one shot and factor in the natural immunity, maybe there is something else going on here, doctor. and maybe people aren't
4:28 am
vaccinated aren't villains as they are being made out to be? >> well, look, i think certainly there is a place for immunity mandates, right? i mean especially in places of public engagement. but the reality is and the midst of this outbreak, there are about 100 million americans according to cdc estimates who are already natural immune. these folks are for the most part the vast majority of them are actually immune and i think the notion that, you know, if any particular subset of these folks wants to avoid the vaccinations at this time, they would be forced at the risk of loss of employment or educational opportunities. i think it's completely draconian. brian: it's nuts. >> frankly it goes in the face of medical necessity and, frankly, i think it's a constitutional violation. right now we are in the process of litigating a case out in michigan against michigan state university, the plaintiff is gina norris and new civil liberties alliance is going to be litigating this in federal court. brian: good. >> the idea is this actually unconstitutional thing when it
4:29 am
comes to the class of natural -- millions of americans naturally immune. i believe it's medically, ethically incorrect and certainly it's very likely it's constitutionally a violation as well. brian: i can't tell you as someone apolitical like you, a doctor who is an expert in the field saying it has so much weight. doctor, thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. brian: nicholas, talking about this urk strikes overnight as category 1 hurricane. hundreds of thousands of people without power in texas. janice dean is tracking the storm right now. and a 9/11 memorial vandalized with the word taliban sprayed on its twin tower display. but the owner says it will take more than spray paint to stop his patriotism. that story next. ♪ ♪

5:06 am
relations committee. senator, what did you learn, glean from yesterday, when they had just three minutes to question the diplomat? what did you learn yesterday that's going to help you today? >> good morning, brian. not a whole lot. i mean, obviously we learned that the biden administration is going to continue to blame the previous administration for decisions that they made. what i find so disingenuinous about that blame game is that president biden had no problem overturning, for example, successful policies on the border, which had our border moving towards pretty good security. he had no problem dismantling all of those successful policies but this is just the one he had to abide by. it's completely bs, and it's dangerous for this country. ainsley: you've had so much experience obviously being a senator. have you ever seen a worse decision from a president? >> no, but this is just on top of other bad decisions. this administration has been a
5:07 am
rolling series of disasters. this the dismantle of the successful border policy so now we have a completely open border more than 6,000 people being apprehended per day the last four or five months that doesn't count the known got -aways at least 600,000 people will be disbursed because of the open border that's a population greater than the state of wyoming so that's disaster number one. what about all of the out of control spending, the incredible increase in our debt, and now you've got the withdrawal, the surrender, the humiliating surrender in afghanistan. it's just unbelievable. brian: but now they are asking for $6.4 billion to tok reset el afghans, so who did we get? we're supposed to make room for 95,000 people, who are they? >> we don't know, and of course , that's what's most troubling is because we were hearing from people on the ground, during the evacuation. they don't want to come forward because they value their jobs and they will be retaliated against by this administration, so what we were hearing was completely different than what
5:08 am
this administration was telling us. this administration was saying that they planned for every contingency. this was organized. there were tens of thousands of afghans that just flooded the airport. nobody knows who they are. we put them on planes, we played the numbers game, so many of these people didn't even have any form of id whatsoever. i was at fort mccoy, asked the commanding general when did you first hear this was your mission? he said 10 days ago. i asked them, could they say that every afghanistan that they had received, taken in had at least an id, they couldn't answer that question, so we have no idea. pete: senator we look forward to your questions today getting that second round hopefully you can dig deep or maybe get them to admit one mistake which they haven't been willing to do. brian: like the letter and the transcript of the phone call pete: so many things that have still gone unanswered with him in person we look forward to watching but i want your take you mentioned a series of other things to include the border,
5:09 am
you mentioned 95,000 afghans there's that many people still coming across our border a month and it's something this administration is seeming to be content doing absolutely nothing about. we wanted to play a sound bite of allison anderson a texas land owner and the wife of a border agent talking about this situation, as the administration wants to talk about anything else, she says the situation is getting worse. listen. >> my concerns are safety, what we are seeing is we're overwhelmed with illegal immigrants that are coming through our property, our neighborhood, our community, and we have a lot of moms with a lot of little kids the people are no longer letting their kids out to play. we found footprints outside of our little girls bedroom window. i would say 100% it's the biden administration's fault. he needs to do something. it's hypocritical to sit here and mandate vaccines against citizens at the same time, the border is completely wide open and there's literally thousands of illegal immigrants
5:10 am
pouring over the border here right now. many that are infected with either covid and/or have been exposed to covid or symptomatic to covid and they are being released into our communities. pete: senator these are americans under siege, as you know, and they feel like no one is listening to them. what can, at all be done, as this crisis almost goes uncovered because there are so many other crisis created by this administration. >> well this is a self- inflected wound, created by president biden. he is the root cause of this problem, but he's been aided and a betted by the mainstream media and the social media covering up for them. they've enabled all of these disasters, and so the accountability has to come in november of 2022, i wish it would come sooner than that but it does not look lick this administration is changing course whatsoever, and of course , they are all concerned about covid doing a miserable job quite honestly, managing it, but they are completely unconcerned about people with covid coming across the border. they are completely concerned
5:11 am

again, i can't describe how frustrating it is that the mainstream media won't cover this. brian: it's amazing. >> they are covering up for afghanistan, they will be calling president biden a profile encourage. this is the mainstream media's fault as well. brian: they want to talk about january 6. ainsley: they put them under the bridge and if it weren't for our drones we wouldn't have had the footage of them because they are out of view and no one else is covering it. senator, thank you. >> have a good day. brian: senator real quick, are you going to run again? >> haven't made that decision but i'm getting pretty positive feedback. brian: maybe another six. all right, thanks senator johnson appreciate it. >> have a good day. ainsley: you too, 8:12 on the east coast and now fox weather alert. a live look at galveston, texas as nicholas makes landfall as a hurricane overnight. pete: the gulf coast is bracing for potentially life threatening floods. brian: fox weather multimedia journalist robert ray is live in galveston. what are you seeing? reporter: well you could see an angry gulf of mexico behind me, and debris sort of
5:13 am
shaking around as the wind still coming in here in galveston over 400,000 people in the state of texas along the gulf coast are currently out of power, as this system is still pounding the region. there has been damage up and down the coast, power lines down , homes with roofs partially ripped off and just, it's just an incredible scene here as it started as a tropical storm nicholas, turned into a cat 1 hurricane about 75 miles an hour , as it made landfall about 1:00 a.m. central here, and now here it is just moving in, approaching houston. what they hope is that they do not see flash flooding up in the big city of houston, million s of people, they already went through harvey several years ago and that was bad enough and then the system is going to make its way to the texas/louisiana border where lake charles is in peril yet again after two hurricanes and a winter storm and all the way into the damaged area of ida where new orleans and the other areas there took a major hit, so
5:14 am
this is significant. you don't think that a cat 1 can do a lot of damage? well it certainly can, so people are on guard here this morning, as nicholas is just tearing through. guys? brian: all right, thank you very much, appreciate it. pete: fox weather launches next month. be on the lookout for it. ainsley: janice dean is here. >> yeah still watching the storm so we had a 75-mile per hour hurricane, a category 1 that made landfall around 2:00 a.m. south of freeport, but the worst of the storm is east of the center of circulation which means louisiana, you are getting inundated with heavy rainfall. we just got the 8:00 a.m. advisory by the way 60-mile per hour sustained winds, it is a strong tropical storm but again, regardless of whether it has a name of not the results are going to be the same and that is flash flooding and the potential for upwards of 15 inches isolated amounts over 20 inches of rainfall again across areas that were hit hard by ida in just a couple of weeks ago so there is the forecast radar. i want you to pay attention because we're seeing heavy rain
5:15 am
not only today, but tomorrow into thursday and friday, all along the gulf coast, so you're going to see flash flooding for portions of southeast texas through much of louisiana, well inland, mississippi, alabama, and even the florida panhandle, we could see the potential for tornadoes as well with this system and that could cause more structural damage. radar estimated rainfall over the last couple of hours over eight inches just off the coast towards galveston and then new orleans an area without power for many, you know, a couple weeks now some folks still without power, we're going to see the potential for showers, thunderstorms and flash flooding in the area for the next several days so that is a big concern. also want to make mention we are into peak season in the tropics we have of course the hurricane and the tropical storm, we are watching right now nicholas, we have an area of low pressure just west of the bahamas and then we have another area of low pressure that we're going to have to watch coming off of africa. peak season. all right, carlie over to you my friend. reporter: thank you, janice, ainsley, pete, and brian. got it?

of crime stories on fox nation, nancy grace. good morning, nancy. >> good morning, i'm very disturbed about the whereabouts of this 22-year-old girl, gabby, gabrielle is her name. she took off from new york around june 17. she had gone to new york from florida to see her little brother's high school graduation from there, she and her boyfriend/fiancee, i've gotten different reports on that, brian laundry, head out on a dream trip, crossing the country in a converted ford van. i looked inside it, the photos and the videos she posted along the way kind of a travel blog, and she really worked hard. the neighbors tell us that they saw them out in the driveway where they live down in florida working, converting it into basically a camper. this is where it all goes wrong. the mom, gabby's mom, talked to her toward the end of august. they face timed about three times a week which is very
5:26 am
important and it's critical. we know how often they speak. then she gets a text around august 25. they checked out of a hotel in salt lake city due to the fires. we know they checked out because the hotel confirms it. she was alive then. the mother says she gets texts around august 27 and august 30, but she doesn't know if those texts were really from gabrielle. that concerns me. there's something called behavioral evidence and in other words, do you write a whole paragraph when you text? do you abbreviate? do you use emojis? it's your vernacular, how you speak, was it gabby because if it wasn't gabby, that is the day , the timeline starts, from there i would go back and try and you late the cell phone on that day, to find out where they were. the boyfriend drives all the way back home to florida and parks
5:27 am
the van in his parent's driveway , but without gabby. that's what we know. ainsley: he's not talking and he hired a lawyer, right? >> yes and i would think he be front and center out there looking for gabby and giving the story of what happened. did they have a fight and she stormed off? did he leave her somewhere? did she refuse to go any further for some reason? if you look at the travel blog, the video blog, which i have very carefully, he says very little in it but he's there and she's very happy, see no sign of discord, but what does that tell me? not much if you look at anybody 's facebook, everybody looks happy, right? so that really doesn't tell me too much but i would immediately go back to that location if the texts are not from her, based on mom and behavioral evidence, tri ngulate the locatio n and then backtrack, i'd find every hotel, every atm movement and credit card and then start

people on the gulf coast are bracing for potentially life threatening floods again. president biden is approving an emergency declaration for louisiana ahead of time as more than half a million people are without power. let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for the fox weather forecast. janice? >> yeah it was a hurricane when it made landfall overnight last night, just south and west of houston, texas. the center of circulation now right on top of houston. the worst of the storm is east of the center of circulation, 6s still a tropical storm, but you know, it's going to weaken, the main story is going to be the flooding it has nothing to do with the wind. already seeing those wind gusts in the houston area over 50 miles per hour on the border of louisiana, port arthur 37 miles per hour we could see the potential for weak tornadoes that the could cause structural damage and remember the ground is already saturated over louisiana, so anymore rainfall is going to cause a really bad situation on top of the catastrophic one because of the hurricane that made landfall two weeks ago, ida
5:34 am
almost a category five so the tornado threat will remain in place the next couple of hours. the flooding is going to be the biggest concern with this and in some cases we could see upwards of 12 inches even 2d isolated areas and all of these areas were affected by ida. a lot of folks still don't have power so this is a really terrible situation, made worse by this tropical system and we'll keep you up-to-date. carlie over to you. reporter: janice thank you so much and we'll begin your headlines with massachusetts is calling in the national guard to drive students to school, amid a bus driver shortage. nearly 100 troops are deploying to four cities including boston. they begin training today, but it is not clear how long the guard will be helping. the governor vowing bus duty will not interfere with their ability to respond to other major state emergencies. >> president biden cutoff mid- sentence after going off- script during a wildfire briefing. >> can i ask you a question?

5:38 am
i think it's really, it's a damn shame. before they open, facebook stock looking down 2 points it might not stay down because these kind of news items they come and go without any consequences. pete: they really do and facebook even contests this reporting, their communications record tweeted this. "as we said into 18 cross check simply means some content from certain pages have given a second layer of review to make sure they are applying, we're applying our policies correctly ." there aren't two system in justice. it's a safeguard. charles: always that layer of protection. pete: for sure we want to, speaking of protection, the white house saying they need a mandate to protect both un vaccinated and vaccinated americans and they're using businesses to enforce that mandate. what's the affect going to be when you talk about, you can say one thing about a mandate for companies with 100 or more employees. it's a whole other thing for these companies to attempt to apply it, especially when they have already have worker
5:39 am
shortages. charles: yeah, it's just ridiculous, honestly, you're forcing businesses to be police officers and it's already a very awkward situation and it's going to obviously be very expensive and in places like new york, it's any small business, it's a restaurant, so it's not just so-called businesses over 100 people. you can't even kick out a quality product. three weeks the ceo of red robin said the quality of their products and their service was down that's why they can't achieve economic growth in part because of the labor shortage and now you've got to have someone policing the door, it's an unfair proposition economic ally for small and mid- size businesses but now, it adds another layer of, you know, bringing some problems and you just don't want people to have to do that. no one goes to work wanting to do that as people for any sort of vaccine card or to challenge someone who wants to spend money at your establishment.

because that's how much they want to spend and when you look what they're doing they are transforming america, what a tax is is taking money out of every americans pocket and redirecting it to where you think it's important so now if you make $800,000 they are going to give you a tax incentive to buy a tesla and you know what else? takeaway and give income for everybody guaranteed 90% of americans, but you know what? there's no requirement to work. there's no requirement that your child who gets a tax credit is even an american because there's no social security requirement they are taking that away and they are really going to harm american businesses because what they are going to do is give an incentive for american businesses to move to other countries. brian: by raising the corporate tax rate. >> the global minimum tax rate. they are going to make it as a disadvantage to be in america and sell that product. ainsley: that's why this mid-term election is so important. >> oh, not just that. it's crime in your streets, it's the border, it's inflation. it's whether you really care. think about president biden. he cares more about trying to rescue gavin newsom than returning americans from afghanistan.
5:47 am
why isn't he spending all this time on that? brian: on the border. >> what is their goal between the tax plan and the reconciliation and infrastructure. what are democrats hoping to accomplish? >> it's a transformation of america, to become more of a socialist european-type country, that they are going to have government deciding almost everything in your life and take how you can spend your money and it's the wokism, right? because what they are going to do in the tax incentive is punish you if you want to be energy independent in america but ask opec to produce more and provide it to the only the industries that care, so what they do in this tax bill as well, they give you an incentive. i have no disagreement with the union but they let you deduct whatever you pay for the union dues because they want more companies to be union. i think unions provide greater service to their union members if they have to work for it. provide the service and why i should pay that union. brian: let's take a look at some of the principles they are going to put in the top rate dropped to 37 under trump.
