chain link fences in front. you have to cut through the chain link fence to get to the electric fence behind it and told even if you do touch the fence that's electric you really have not much of a chance of getting seriously hurt. it will definitely shock you a little bit but won't kill you. >> aishah: i knew you were going to touch it. >> dana: you had us nervous for a second. it wasn't on. julie banderas is in for harris. >> julie: critics are once again hitting president biden for his response to natural disasters after he vowed a rapid response to hurricane idalia's after math. i'm in for harris today. biden is promising floridians everything at the federal government's disposal after the storm left a path of catastrophic destruction across the entire state. critics are pointing out a lack of the same urgency when it came

to the deadly maui wildfires. it took two weeks for the president to take a break from vacation for a five-hour visit to the state and also initially gave a no comment response to a reporter's questions about the fires. with thousands of people in florida assessing the catastrophic damage now the president, well, seizing on climate change. >> president biden: i don't think anybody can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore. just look around. historic floods. historic floods, more intense droughts, extreme heat, significant wildfires have caused significant damage like we've never seen before. while we're dealing with the event i'm focused on recovering and rebuilding efforts in maui. >> they plan to look into the maui wildfires. the president says he is fine

with that. he is also facing renewed criticism for his response to the toxic rail disaster in east palestine, ohio, crews are still there cleaning up the mess seven months later. ohio senator j.d. vance says people there feel forgotten. >> over 100 days ago joe biden promised he would visit here and he has broken that promise and refused to visit. people feel abon daned. their own president didn't show up and they really feel it. >> julie: peter doocy has more. >> we hear from officials that president biden got off the phone with governor ron desantis in florida. the response to this storm has been one where officials here want to make very, very clear that there are no political hard feelings between president biden and ron desantis who just last week said that he wants to send biden back to the basement next year. a little while ago we heard from the fema administrator about

what she is briefing in the oval office. >> the first responders have been out all day yesterday going into the areas. they have been answering 911 calls and the heroic actions of first responders are amazing. they go in to help people who were in harm's way and they were doing rescues throughout the day yesterday. the information that i got from my brief when i got on the ground last night is they expect to be done with all the secondary assessments by friday. >> that shot of the fema head down in florida. president biden sent her down there last night to be on the ground to address everything. she was talking about the hurricane but will testify in these congressional investigations about the immediate response to the wildfires in hawaii. we have noticed a big difference between how they have responded to the hurricane with how they responded at least initially to maui. >> did you guys realize that the

initial hawaii wildfire response was not that good? or is it just easier for people to get help from the white house when the president is not on vacation? >> so the premise of the question i disagree. the governor of hawaii, senators of hawaii, folks on the ground would say that the president reacted in record time. >> the president is scheduled to go back to his beach house in delaware tomorrow. it's possible they could take it down but they have no indication they'll do that yet. >> julie: peter doocy live at the white house. ben domenech fox news contributor and editor at large for the spectator. great to see you and thank you for joining us. how republicans say they plan to examine the biden administration's response to the deadly wildfire in maui. an investigation biden said he welcomes. he said that he quote will remain laser focused on recovery

and rebuilding efforts in maui. it took him two weeks on vacation to actually go visit. he talks about rebuilding and being laser focused. you can't rebuild but not bring back the over 100 lives lost. >> no, you can't, of course. this is also a situation where i think unfortunately there is a certain insulation that some democratic presidents experience when it comes to their relationship with the american media. i think in this case that served president biden very poorly. the white house, because they didn't perhaps have to deal with tough questions like the one we just saw from peter, they got away with treating the entire situation in maui in a way that seems slow to respond in ways that republican administrations would have had a lot of criticism early on from the media if they ignored any of this. look, the president wants to make this about climate change and that type of thing. what we actually know when we look at the evidence

particularly the research that has been done by michael shellenberger in his book and everything else related to this is that the reason these fires and disasters have more expensive consequences is because people are living in nicer houses in these regions. there has been more investment in them. people want to live in florida. they have nicer places. they like to live in hawaii. because of that the overall, you know, financial ramifications of disasters has grown exponentially from where it used to be in the past. that's the big reason that these things have such a massive effect on these communities. obviously the loss of life and resources need to be addressed quickly by our government. we turn to them in times of needs. >> julie: the president's words have a huge effect on the american people especially after a disaster and people's lives lost and catastrophic damages to people's homes and lives. biden told that kitchen fire story again when talking about

people who have lost everything. it is hard to believe but let's watch it. >> president biden: it will be frustrating as the devil for people. why can't i go back? the storm is over? why can't i look and see if i can't find that wedding ring or album or can't find the thing i've lost in the house. it is really tough. really, really tough. i didn't have anything like that but lightning struck my house and had to be out of the house for seven months while it was repaired because so much damage was done to the house. half the house almost collapsed. and you wonder what's going to happen. >> julie: okay, the only thing i'm wondering is what is he talking about? how can you possibly compare a small kitchen fire that firefighters had under control in about 20 minutes to a massive probably the largest in u.s. history wildfire that killed over 100 people? he also compared his kitchen fire to the devastation in

florida and the hurricane. critics again seem to be asking why he seems to be making a horrific tragedy about himself? is this a man and president out of touch or just simply oblivious or making comments like this? >> he politicized everything and personalizes everything. more to do with his own personal lives than the people involved. when i was growing up we lived in hurricane hugo in south carolina. the chimney fell into our house and only neighbor who decided to stay behind came over during the eye of the storm and staple gun a tarp to the top of the room and saved my family's house. in the time of need if you are the president of the united states people don't want to hear about your personal experience with an electrical fire in your house. they want to hear what you will do to take care of people, to actually respond to their needs. they want to hear you connect with the people and challenges they're facing on the ground. the way he inflates these

personal experiences on his end in ways when people are facing absolute devastation, the loss of life, the loss of their homes and everything that they own is absolutely ridiculous and out of touch and done so much to undermine his reputation as someone who can emotion pennsylvania thighs with people going through times of trial. >> julie: something else that those of us shake our heads at is the president's hunter headache. it gets worse by the day. the committee's latest findings show the president's role in his family's business schemes. watch. >> joe biden's role in this family influence peddling scheme continues to grow on a daily basis. joe biden was front and center. he met with every one of these people that he claimed he never met with and never spoke to. there is consensus in our conference we'll have to go to impeachment inquiry. that will be speaker mccarthy's call but i feel like we're there now, sean.

i feel like it's imminent. >> julie: this comes as emails reviewed by fox show how close hunter was with top officials in the obama/biden administration. one reads focus hunter biden. good friend of s. fox confirms that s refers to secretary of state john kerry based on multiple emails. documents released by the national archives show hunter's investment firm traded more than 1,000 emails with joe biden's office during his time as vice president. adding to the president's troubles just today the judge in hunter's criminal case is asking for the gun diversion issue. gave a deadline for both sides to update the court on september 6th. >> to the email question people need to understand how awful this truly is. an attempt especially with the use of aliases on the part of

joe biden himself to avoid the kind of sunlight, the kind of freedom of information act inquiry into his correspondence in ways that the people have a right to know, but also think about how much this undermines everything that we were told by joe biden, by his team. everyone else during the 2020 campaign. that he had nothing to do. there was no back and forth. there was no conversation. he never talked to his son about any of his business. turns out not only was he essentially getting information back and forth, his office and everything to hunter's firm and hunter himself but hunter had access to all sorts of different things related to his schedule. they would have meetings and dinners with key people. they are thick as thieves in this and we deserve to know the answers. >> julie: the fact that the national archives is not cooperating with providing emails is a problem. >> a travesty. >> julie: would comer is asking for an impeachment inquiry. answers, accountability.

somehow this white house doesn't seem to be familiar with. ben, great to see you. thank you so much. gop presidential candidates hoping for a boost after the first debate. some political analysts say is high time to trim the field. so far only one person has dropped out. plus new revelations surrounding the president's age and abilities could further fan the flames of voters' concerns. >> it's not necessarily about age but it is about competency. >> we talk about aptitude and hags ability to perform. >> we need to look at our chief executive of the united states and say possibly he does not have what it takes to run this country. >> julie: what a new book claims about the 80-year-old commander-in-chief's struggles to keep up with the job.

>> julie: upcoming book with some insight into the obvious, the president is old. it details his struggles when it comes to staying energized. the author claims that biden admits to aides that he feels tired. excerpt reading it was striking he took so few morning meetings or presided over so few pub politic events before 10:00 a.m.

the white house is smacking it down. >> because of this excerpt? >> the book is suggesting the president tells aides he is tired. >> that's in the excerpt >> and why so few public events before 10:00 a.m. >> that's a ridiculous assumption to make. >> julie: americans are concerned. 77% say president biden is too old to handle another term. 70% of democrats agree. power panel now cassie, former rnc communications director and doug schoen, democratic pollster. doug, 77% of democrats think he is too old. are you among them? >> i'm one of those who has

questions, yet. it has appeared to me and to the majority of democrats that he is not as engaged as he was at the start of his term. he polls best among democrats, and i think he will try to stay in the race as long as he can and as long as he is even with or ahead of donald trump there will be pressure on him to stay in the race. but i think i would be ignoring reality if i did not see, as i think most people do, some impairment. >> julie: another excerpt from the book says biden fumes after this infamous line. >> a dictator built on rebuilding an empire will never erase a people's love for liberty. brutality will never grind down the road to retreat. ukraine will never be a victim of russia. for god sake, this man cannot

remain in power. >> julie: the book alleges biden new he erred but resented aides for cree iting the impression they cleaned up his mess. he fumed to his friends how he was treated like a toddler. was john kennedy ever babied like that? cassie, i have to be honest. i thought it was a great speech. i loved the fact he was finally standing up to putin. i believed it was a moment in time wherent seemed in power and energized. the most energized i've ever seen him. >> i had the same reaction. wait a minute. where is the issue? it's different than the clips we normally see from him and aides were running to say that's not what he meant. who is really running the show here? that's a concern when you talk about the poll is that people -- you played the clips from voters who say we just don't trust that

his competency is there to do the job. the proof is in the pudding in the results in this country and telling that doug is part of this growing number of democrats saying the quiet part out loud. from a party perspective you say nothing to see, everything is fine, the karine jean-pierre route and democrats cannot stay quiet anymore. he see his inability to do the job is hurting our countries and voters are saying we need another alternative. millions of people tuned into the republican primary debate last week where you saw an energetic, capable slate of candidates. if it's not donald trump against biden in 2024, the future for republicans is youthful and energetic and dynamic. democrats want that on their side as well. >> julie: let's turn over to the gop side and the candidates. there are so many of them. suarez dropped out. but the republican presidential

primary is still very much packed. a dozen candidates are still fighting for the nomination. we have a large wall in this studio. they take up the entire wall. a real clear politics average shows most of them polling in the low single digits. former president trump holding a massive 40-point lead. an op-ed that argues it is time to trim the field, quote. republicans don't have the luxury of time. if the party is to avoid disaster and avert another four terrible years of president biden, its hopefuls can't wait until the south carolina primary. they all have to acknowledge there is no merit in what the "wall street journal" called vanity projects. "the washington examiner" points out they are polling closer to suarez who didn't qualify for the first debate earlier this month. i know these people are very ambitious and have a lot of energy. energy doesn't get you to the

white house. you need a little more than that. who do you think should drop out? >> as i looked at that wall, asa hutchinson, doug burgum, larry elder would seem to be obvious candidates to drop out. i suspect there might be 1 or 2 more but i think there will be a broad field in iowa and probably new hampshire as well. but fundamentally, if by february 15th or thereabouts when i think the new hampshire primary is held, if the field is winnowed out then i think the republicans will have plenty of time to make an argument about who and how the campaign should be run and who should be the nominee. i would say the issue we haven't mentioned, which is the elephant in the room as martha maccallum and bret baier said is donald trump the four indictments. that's far more important than

how many candidates are on the stage now or in the near future. >> julie: polling aside, who do you think are top contenders before we let you go? >> you can't ignore that donald trump is the top contender for those who want someone other than him, i think there is -- you see ron desantis pulling in second, nikki haley got the best bump out of the first debate. people need a little more time and see them and get to know them better before you have the moment for the good of the country conversation. i agree it has to happen sooner rather than later. maybe not just yet. >> julie: thank you both for being on. be sure to tune into the second primary republican debate coming up, mark your calendars right now if you haven't already, september 27th. september 27th, the second debate on fox business, stuart varney, dana perino, and one more will be moderating. you have to tune into that.

looking forward to it. tropical storm idalia making its way through georgia and lashing the carolinas, florida's gulf coast in recovery mode after a category 3 landfall yesterday. people are counting their blessings today. >> this one was scarier than the rest. we were lucky. >> we got lucky. next time we won't stay. >> julie: the historic impact in florida. also in charleston, south carolina where nine foot tides breached the sea wall.

>> julie: today millions in florida are starting to pick up the pieces left in hurricane idalia's path. we're watching the now tropical storm as it takes its way along the southeast coast, georgia governor brian kemp with this a few moments ago. watch. >> been a tough week for a lot of people in georgia out there. we're working on plans to be on the ground to view the storm damage tomorrow. amazing response. moving in right on the heels of the storm yesterday and working through the night. >> julie: the storm drenched south carolina. torrential downpours bringing massive flooding. this was the scene outside charleston. >> holy -- what the [bleep]. >> julie: i'd say his language was appropriate. unbelievable. jaw dropping video getting a lot of attention. it was recorded in goose creek,

south carolina. a tornado actually picked up that car and spun it in the air before slamming it back down onto the roadway. unbelievably, though, the driver is okay. team fox coverage, fox business grady trimble standing by in keaton beach, florida. first to katie burn in charleston, south carolina. >> the good news is the water has receded from a lot of streets that were underwater just hours ago. overnight is when they were at the worst of this here in charleston. some people have been out this morning just clearing up some of the debris. pieces of trees and mud that is left over because of what happened here. 50 roads in the city were closed at peak because of flooding. idalia moved into charleston around high tide and a top five

peak tide ever recorded in the charleston harbor. the water levels reached over nine feet which has only happened four other times during hurricanes. waves came crashing over the sea wall and flooded streets surrounded by historic homes and businesses that you picture when you think of charleston. some people who lived downtown got waters in basements, foyers, backyards. many are relieved that the damage wasn't any worse. >> everyone is relieved. it could have been worse. if it would have been raining we would all have been in the water. this was a big relief. >> checking in with some people this morning. some say they do have some damage in their homes but many are spending hours now cleaning up. also stripping down the storm preps they had underway. things like sandbags and flood walls that people used to protect their property. >> julie: all right, thank you very much. we appreciate it. cleanup underway for what the

national weather service says is calling an unprecedented event. satellite images capturing the massive flooding which hurricane idalia left in florida's big bend region on the gulf coast. sadly some left with nothing to clean up. floodwater from the hurricane sweeping homes completely away. estimates say the cost of property could be nearly $10 billion. fox business's grady trimble is in keaton beach, florida now where idalia made historic landfall 24 hours ago. people are now picking up the pieces. >> for some people there are no pieces to pick up. look at this home behind me. the concern in this area in keaton beach was water damage. but it was actually the wind that wiped this house off the map. you can see that wall that's knocked over has a tv still mounted on it. another wall has a mattress

leaning up against it. we're also seeing people come and survey the damage themselves for the first time. they did the right thing and got out of here when the storm was moving through. we know now from talking to neighbors that the roof from this home was actually taken all the way across the street and the neighbors on the other side of the street have seen their roof ripped off of one of the sides as well. actually if we can show you there, frank, that is part of their roof that's wrapped around the power pole showing you how forceful the winds were here. in other parts of the state it was the floodwaters that got into buildings like businesses and homes, miraculously florida governor ron desantis says there have been no deaths reported. listen. >> evacuations and listening really to the local officials. i think those officials in those hard hit counties did a good job. i think citizens responded very appropriately and to be here where you have a storm hitting close to 130 mile-an-hour just

under a cat four and not as of now have any reported fatalities, it's probably something that most people would not have bet on. >> the governor's family had a scare themselves when a massive 100-year-old oak tree fell on the governor's mansion in tallahassee. the first lady of florida casey desantis and the three kids were inside the home. fortunately all of them are okay. back out here live in taylor county where the storm made landfall, as of right now folks are trying to pick up the pieces but they are doing so without power. in taylor county, 99.98% of customers are without power right now. so julie, it could be weeks and maybe months until power is restored to all areas of this county and until people can move back into their homes. >> julie: wow, grady trimble. thank you so much.

bonnie weiss, florida's hillsborough county administrator joins me now. looking at the pictures in florida, yesterday we saw there was a huge storm surge. we didn't really quite get a real eye on the damage until later in the day and this morning. what is your reaction to what's happening on the ground >> we still have some areas that have seen some extreme flooding. bay shore boulevard and certain areas in town and country. we're still assessing those areas and working with the public to see what needs they have in order to get the fema assistance that is coming to them. >> julie: let's talk about the damages right now. $10 billion potentially in damages? >> we are still assessing that and we'll work with our partners to determine that exact number. we'll continue to assess that. some of our parks and conservation areas as well.

and then the individual homes and businesses. >> julie: i believe the last hurricane last summer was like $55 billion or so in damages, right? >> right. so certainly the damages here are different than what we saw in the last storm. so we attribute that to people being prepared and getting ready and heeding the warnings that we have before us. we hope that the public will continue to do that into the future as well. >> julie: people are still rebuilding from last year's hurricane that hit in september. so i can't imagine how devastating this is for those people still rebuilding homes and for those who lost their homes. what happens to the people who are essentially homeless? they were in shelters, many people don't have power still. hundreds of thousands were out of power yesterday. what happens to those whose homes are gone? >> yes, certainly last year to the south of oves we had a lot of people out of power and heave

even last time we had people out of power. to the north of hillsborough county there is very much devastation with people out of power. it takes time. the state does a good job of get teams to help assess that and to bring special teams in to get the power restored as quickly as possible. >> julie: all right. any advice for those who right now are trying to pick up the pieces and trying to figure out where they will get the money to find a place to live, those people that are in shelters obviously need to move to more permanent housing until they are able to rebuild. as the fema money comes in. what do people do? >> yes, fema teams will be on the ground and so we ask people to listen to their government agencies and to work with those fema teams as they come in. there will be, unfortunately, some scammers. listen to your government agencies and only work with those reputable agencies and

we're here to help and reach out as needed. >> julie: bonnie weiss, thank you very much. florida's hillsborough county administrator for giving us that information. hoping it is helpful to those in need right now. thank you. we have breaking news this hour on supreme court justice clarence thomas whether it will quiet critics' claims about his luxury trips and pricey gifts. more on that straight ahead. plus a legal battle in california over the constitutional rights of parents. you have to stay tuned to this one. how one school district is leading the fight and taking on the state's attorney general. >> we are getting the parents a voice at the seat. when i say i have the seat, it is not me, it's us. it is all of californians, we come together because parents have a right and we want to protect our children. >> julie: chino valley board president is up next.

absolutely. you are the parent, for god sakes, how are you violating the privacy of your child as a parent? it makes 0 sense whatsoever. >> i'm right there with you. >> julie: my blood is boiling. >> you don't think our blood is boiling right along with you, girl? he talks about privacy rights for children. guess what? those privacy rights were put in place from people like him, government, third parties. never the parents. he is absolutely ridiculous and every time he speaks and opens his mouth, he is giving the parents a gift to let us know exactly where he aligns and what their agenda is all while letting criminals walk free. people who do horrendous acts on children are not being held accountable. his wife even voted against a measure we were trying to hold these people accountable on. it is horrifying what they are doing and what they are bringing our children into.

guess what? he has been exposed and only a matter of time before our california political cartel is removed by the people. >> julie: an argument for your lawyers. maybe this guy needs to actually take a look at what the suicide rate is among transgender people, okay? as a parent, if for whatever reason your child whether transgender or just a child it doesn't matter whether they are trans or not, if they attempt suicide or if they talk about suicide or they say that they want to take their own life in the school it is the school's legal responsibility to tell the pair interests their child is at suicide risk. transgender people have eight times of rate of suicide attempts occur among them. you mean to tell me it's okay for your child to become trans without telling the parent so they are now at an elevated risk of suicide and that's not a parent's business because we would be violating the child

east privacy. you would rather them dead? absolutely. that's what he is saying. our policy put safety measures in place for children who are experiencing these things. let's be real. this is not an outing policy. the child is already coming out and saying he wants to have his peers call him something different and teachers. what we are oaf doing is bringing the parents back in the picture. we know schools are trying to keep these secrets as he stated but with these kids being at home with their parents having no clue what they are experiencing, that can lead the child into major danger. obviously their life is at risk. i've been offering a conversation with him. what is he doing to make sure those children are safe in these quote, unquote, dangerous and hateful homes that he is quoting that they are in i don't see anything. >> julie: i want to ask him are you more concerned about politics and woke culture or more concerned about actually

protecting children. as parents it is our job to protect children. they are children. they are minors. they are our responsibility not the government's not a governor that's trying to politicize our children's youth. in virginia by the way governor youngkin is firing back at school districts defying his school policies on gender identity. an issue that helped propel him to the governor's office. yesterday he again defended his position on the issue in schools and in sports. watch. >> the progressive left just doesn't understand what's happening in america. americans see it very plainly. boys shouldn't be playing sports with girls. in virginia we put forth policies to make sure that doesn't happen anymore. parents should be in charge of their children's lives. they belong to the parents, not the state. it is straight forward. >> julie: i don't understand why we are oaf debating it. >> it's common sense. that's where they are lacking and they don't have it.
