destroy the city but instead of blaming the biden administration for opening the boarders the mayor is now pointing fingers at republicans. bill melugin is live with the fallout good evening. >> reporter: trace good evening to you, some of the strongest language we have ever heard from

new york city mayor as he is the masses of illegal immigrants arriving in the big apple will, quote, destroy the city. >> never in my life have i had a problem that i did not see an ending to. i don't see an ending to this. i don't see an ending to this. this issue will destroy new york city. >> reporter: according to the mayor's office, there are now over 110,000 migrants in new york city. over 13,000 of which were bussed if by the state of texas. now, mayor adams went on to say that the city's going to have a $12 billion deficit, cuts will have to be made to support the arrivals of illegal immigrants, and that every service in new york city will be impacted, as he says the city is overrun. >> it's going to come to your neighborhoods. all of us are going to be impacted by this. i said it last year when we had

15,000, and i'm telling you now, 110,000, the city we knew, we're about to lose. and we're all in this together. >> reporter: meanwhile the first day of classes kicked off in new york city today as schools out there are trying to grapple with the influx of migrant students with some buildings turning kids away as over 20,000 migrant children are inundating already jam-packed classrooms. and, trace, it would appear a whole lot more migrants are going to be on their way to the big apple because initial numbers for the month of august show border patrol apprehended around 177,000 illegal immigrants in that month alone. a majority of which were released right not the united states. send it back to you. >> trace: the numbers keep spiking bill melugin live fours. bill, thank you. meantime the fox news at night common sense department would also like to weigh in on new york city mayor eric adams saying he believes the influx of

110,000 migrants along with additional 10,000 each week will destroy new york city. again, that's a quote. and common sense thinks the mayor has a point. there is no city in america, maybe the world, that has the budget, the resources or the infrastructure to handle hundreds of thousands of people who do not have income, housing, or a family support system. the problem is that mayor adams is blaming the crisis on texas governor greg abbott. make no misstarks abbott has been bussing migrants to new york for several months but only 13,300. if common sense has the math right that indicates more than 96,000 migrants got to new york by other means, including the federal government. the very same biden administration that invited migrants to come north, then opened the flood gates, has also been busy flying migrants around the country for 31 months. so now places like new york are issuing a clarion call for the

biden administration to declare a federal emergency, offer more financial support, change the immigration laws. common sense doesn't know much about politics or policy, but it does have a suggestion like, oh, i don't know, maybe close the border? . meantime new polling from cnn, mind you, those president biden's job approval rating in the deep negatives. it appears even democrats are losing confidence in biden's ability to lead the nation. the senior national correspondent kevin corke is 35 dc with more on this, kevin good evening. >> reporter: evening trace. democrats will argue it's just one poll and they'll also say hey, remember how poorly we were doing in the polls before the 2022 midterms, well, that all turned out fine. so that is the pushback. however, by any measure, president biden's approval wraith is underwater and has been for some time. worse, combined with lagging confidence in the biden economy, his frequent stumbles speaking and physically, it's not surprising then that biden, he's

in big trouble if the latest polling is to be believed. with the latest cnn survey, i said cnn showing he's just carneening 39% overall approval a little more than a year before election day. and that's actually down from 45% in cnn. 's survey at the beginning of the year. which means 61% disapprove of biden's job performance. as for the economy, 58% say biden's maded the economy worse. and asked for whom would you be most likely to vote in 2024, former president trump still leads joe biden by one, which, given the typical oversampling of democrats in most national polling is quite something. but the white house is hoping a change in the narrative and maybe even a change of topic in the conversation will help. after all, the the is on his way to the g20. they think that will help. by the way, surrogates say the president, while he's abroad, will show his vigor and american

leadership on the global stage. we'll all have to wait and see if that's true trace. >> trace: looking forward to that. kevin corke live for us in dc. kevin thank you. let's bring in fox news contributor steve hilton and hoover institution fellow lonnie chen. gentlemen, thank you pavement i want to put this back up on the screen. this is the cnn poll. cnn poll as kevin so he will quanly kind of surprisingly said, you have it in january steve hilton july '41% now 39%, the negative is 61% don't think that he's doing a great job on this but yet kamala harris kind of whistling by the grave yard said this in an interview. watch. >> we will win the reelection. we will win reelection, there's too much at steak and the american people know it. >> trace: you have to shift a lot of numbers to win that election steve. >> that would have been a great opportunity for her to burst out laughing because in her infamous cackle because it's so laughable

it's ridiculous. it's not one poll it's all the polls on every issue. and they keep saying how is it, completely in the tank for biden by the way. just imagine how bad things have to be that trump biden comparison. think about the attacks on trump nonstop from the media, and yet he's ahead of biden? the point is that on every issue, they should be surprised. they say well, things are going so well, how come these numbers are underwater. they're not going well if you're a real person in the real world. look what we just saw on the border, on the economy they keep bragging b actually real earnings, the amount of take-home pay people have after inflation is still down, down for the longest period in economic history, on issue after issue the results are bad and that's why the polls are bad. >> trace: if you're paying attention it's not going well. karl rove wrote bind is a dangerous choice for democrats, candidate wizardry can come up with shortcomings but no magic can hide his age declining verbal skills and decreasing

frailty yet here we are lonnie, this is where we stand. >> yeah, one of the things that's staggering to me about that number, 39%, that has got to be historically low or near historically low for this point in a president's term. the rule of thumb used to be if you were at 47% you had problems, if your approval rating was at 47%. he's at 39. he's eight points below that. he's losing to every single republican, he's losing to trump, to haley by six points, to desantis, he's losing to everybody. democrats have good reason to be concerned. a lot of democrats say he's going to be the nominee of the party not recognizing they were putting someone into this campaign who was setting himself up in a position to lose this campaign, and that's where the president is, undeniably right now. >> trace: i want to very quickly touch on this because we've done it a couple of times. mayor eric adams and the immigration crisis watch. >> trump republicans created this mess and we need to fix this mess with real immigration

reform. >> trace: quickly to both burkes you know, you first steve. really, you have to be honest at some point in time. >>the of course it's laughable no one takes that seriously. what's amazing is they're finally seeing the consequences of their own policies and they don't like them. the rest of the country has been seeing the consequences for some time. >> when you have a policy, for example, that says you have to provide shelter to every single migrant that comes into your city, you have policiess that are a magnet, quite frankly, and even his own housing commissioner had to admit that. so to blame this on somebody else -- by the way, the biden administration is running a lot of these tools. and they're responsible frankly for what we are he seeing at the border. >> speaking of housing and migrants california one of the biggest issues is housing and there's an effort to remedy that. >> it is an effort we launched today, my golden torques to tackle the housing crisis, that is the number one reason people are leaving california. it used to be the basis of the california dream, affordable, plentiful housing.

now we have the lowest homeownership in america, the highest housing costs, so we've got a ballot initiative for the elections next year to get rid of the bureaucracy and taxes that make it impossible to build anything. to find out more go to california homeownership.com. >> i wish my kids could buy a house in california. doesn't look like it will what thank you both. >> thank you. >> trace: tuberville is under increasing criticism over his hold on military promotions and appointments in protest of the pentagon abortion policy, but he is getting some support from some of his fellow gop colleagues, marianne rafferty's live with the latest on that. marianne good evening. >> reporter: good evening trace. in the past these promotions have been apolitical using a process called unanimous consent which allows the senate to appoint a large back of nominees quickly but with tomy tuberville's objection the senate would have to vote on

every nominee something they say can tie up the senate floor for months. he has put on hold nearly 300 military promotions for months to protest the abortion policy which pays for them to travel to get the producer. now they launched an all out media assault against tuberville including acc vacations from the secretary of the navy that he is aiding and abetting communist radio jeeps around the world. >> so it's incredibly damaging not just for our readiness bur our national security and greatly impacts military families who radio right now in the state of limbo. >> but tuberville says the answer is simple, senate minority chuck schumer should put it up for a vote. >> they could bring this policy, take it back, i told them just take the policy back, go back to hill policy bring it to a vet and we'll vote on it and whichever way it goes i'm fine. >> reporter: new tonight he's firing back at secretaries who accused him of putting the

nation ace security at risk at a washington post op-ed by demanding to know how those discharged by the military's covid-19 vaccine man dates impacted their preparedness p. >> trace: tuberville does like to fight back. thank you for both coming o to you first, the democrats are painting this, framing this as a ron desantisness issue. what are your thoughts on that? >> yeah, i mean, if anyone is to blame for military readiness, if we lack military readiness, then it would be the administration that canned more than 8,000 service members for not taking the vaccine. it would be the administration who didn't meet their recruiting goals for 2022 and is not going to meet them for 2023. so it is laughable to say that one senator is somehow responsible for the readiness of

the military when last i checked the democrats do control the senate. they could definitely bring through any nomination that they wanted to for a promotion easily. >> trace: sure. yeah it would take a little bit of time but, yes, they could. so chuck carlos del toro the navy secretary took it even further. in fact he took it much further. watch. >> you know, jake, someone who was born in a communist country i would never imagine one of our own senators would actually be aiding and abetting communist and other autocrat i can regimes around the world. >> now tuberville is aiding and abetting the communists chuck? >> this is just outrageous. first of all as a former navy jag, governor ron desantis has pointed out, this is illegal. the pentagon policy is a violation of the hide amendment senator mike lee pointed i see out saying congress makes laws not the department of defense. that's number one. number two we have a lot of

generals and admirals in our military these days. it takes about a little more than four admirals and generals today to do what admirals and generals did in world war ii. that's how many people we have. so we have a bunch of pencil pushing people posing as admirals and generals who do nothing to add to combat readiness. that's the problem they have the time to talk about climate change and radical social policies. that's what's going on right now. >> trace: amazing i want to use your kind of legal expertise to get some clarity because biden changes the pentagon policy, right, to pay for abortion, and now it's suddenly critical to national security? >> right. they can't even give the number of service members who have sought to get an abortion under this policy. so they say that it's somehow critical for them, and yet they don't even know who's using it. this is a complete lack of respect for the compromise of the american people where, at the federal level, we do allow

very permissive abortion policies in whatever state wants to pass them, but the american people said, no, we're not going to pay for abortions. at least that. and so for president biden to come in and override that compromise is illegal. >> trace: and i love how every time they frame this issue, the liberal media, you have this thing, chuck, where tommy tuberville, he's not a senator. they say, you know, football, former football coach tommy tuberville like he just walked out of the lowest of the lows. makes me laugh. final thoughts? >> well, absolutely. and i think it's very important to, again, focus on the fact that we have so many senior officers now that do not contribute to war fighting. this is a significant problem. if the pentagon could show that anything having to do with tuberville's blockade of promotions is affecting readiness they would have shown it but they can't because all he's doing is he's preventing their promotions. they're still operating in the position that they've been

shifted to, they're just not being paid more. >> trace: by the way, football coaches, some of my football coaches were really some very smart guys who i still listen to. chuck deboer, may mailman thank you both. >> sdwloou state prisoner danelo cavalcante was spotted at least the eighth time since he broke out of the chester county prison where he was serving a life sentence for murdering his ex-girlfriend. an official with the pennsylvania state police said this today at a briefing. >> i believe he becomes more desperate. i believe he has always been very dangerous and i've said that from the start. he's already murdered two people, one in brazil and one here, in a very brutal manner. i's a very dangerous individual and remains so. >> trace: we should note the police say the search perimeter has not yet changed >> first up in tonight's crime crisis roundup employees at a family owned los angeles jewelry store stopped a robbery in broad daylight by pouncing on the suspect you can see it here.

despite him being armed with pepper spray and a hammer, as you can see the workers punched and kicked a man eventually pushing him out the door all of it caught on cameras. the store's owner talked about why the family pushed back. >> because we work so much for it and just someone to come and grab your stuff, it's not fair. we just want law to protect us, to protect the business, to protect regular citizens. >> trace: so far no arrests. actor danny master son was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison, one of the stars of the sit con that 70s show. masterson was convicted of raping two women >> for the second day in a row several migrants living at a chicago police station were arrested for threatening and assaulting officers, this time four migrants were arrested in three separate incidents about 1500 migrants are being housed at police stations across the windy city. and with that let's bring in seattle talk radio host and

author of what upcoming book what's killing america jason rantz. jason good to see you. so the migrants attacked cops in chicago but the chicago sun times frames it the following way, quoting here, the people who were arrested are migrants, a law enforcement source said migrants have been forced to live in the cramped confines of police station lobbies across the city due to the lack of available beds for the bus loads of asylum seekers arriving from texas and other states. so the fact that the city doesn't have better accommodations is no wonder why they haven't beaten up more police officers. >> yes, who among us haven't just decided to attack police officers simply because we were unhappy with certain situations that we find ourselves in. it's absolutely ludicrous and i think what people have to understand is you're always going to get this kind of media reaction from folks who simply do not care about the impact that migrants have on communities. i'm glad that some folks are starting to speak up, not just in chicago but across the

country. but at the end of the day, we need to have a media that's going to be honest about this and unfortunately at least in chicago right now they're definitely not. >> trace: this has surprised a lot of people because the proud boys leader enrique gets 22 years, right, 22 years for the january 6th riot. he was not, we should note, appear the capitol. meantime montez lee for blm, black lives matter protests gets ten years for setting fire to a pawn shop and killing a man and the sentencing membership ran dumb mr. lee appropriately acknowledges he could have demonstrated in a different way but that he was caught up in the fury of the mob after living as a black man watching his peers suffer at the hands of police. jason. >> is that, of course, unbelievable. this is what we've seen over and over and over again. that some folks on the left will say, this is the right kind of violence and so we're not going to go too far in punishing them

because, well, we kind of understand where they came from. kind of like the chicago tribune post, hey they're in a tough spot so we're going to give them a pass. it's absolutely absurd. unfortunately there's too many people that don't want to view this fairly that simply because of agree with a political point that is being made does not excuse or justify in any way, shape, or form this kind of violence. someone died. and apparently we're okay with it because, well, black lives matter. >> trace: yeah, it was in the interest of justice. so the governor of your stay, jay inslee, tweeted this yesterday. politicians should not dictate the kind of healthcare patients receive, including abortion care. providers and patients are free to make those choices for themselves in washington state. of course he mandated a vaccine for government workers a couple of years back. >> yeah. yeah, that politician was the one who told people that they had to get a vaccine, that they may not want, unless they want to lose their job.

so under the threat of losing their livelihoods, they were forced into that position. also, he can now come here and say this. the reason why he tweets out messages like this is because he knows he can get away with it, that the media's never going to push back on this. so i'm glad we're calling it out because he is nothing but a hypocrite. >> trace: yes, jason thank you >> meantime coming up jennifer griffin has an exclusive interview with the general in charge during the disastrous afghanistan withdraw. we already know the biden administration refuses to take blame, but the general says history will view this withdraw as a fatal flaw. the it's a five-minute interview you do not want to miss. and later in the nightcap, what are your goals in life? do you have one that you're really looking forward to but you just haven't quite achieved it yet? let us know on social media, x and instagram at trace gallagher. weigh in. we'll show you the results and read the best responses in the nightcap. meantime 8:21 on the west coast, here is a fox news at night trip across america.

♪ >> trace: a little more than two years now since the u.s. military withdraw from afghanistan, president biden has taken extraordinary criticism for the move that left 13 u.s. service members dead and many others gravely injured. but the president refuses to take any blame. tonight an exclusive interview with the general who was in

charge of u.s. central command at the time. here is the chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin. >> reporter: general mckenzie, it's been two years since the afgan withdraw was complete. you've had a lot of time to think about what could have been done differently. do you have any regrets? >> i have a lot of regrets about, about how it ended in afghanistan. i have a regret with the basic decision, which i think was the wrong decision, and i particularly regret that we did not choose to begin to evacuate our people, our embassy personnel, our american citizens and our at-risk afgans at the time we made the decision to bring out our combat forces, i think that was a serious mistake and led to event of august 2021 directly. >> in march we heard tomorrow morning from a sergeant marine sniper at abby gate now a double amputee. he testified under oath he believed he saw a person who matched the person of the abby gate suicide bomber. the intelligence said the bomber

was clean shaven wearing a black backpack with three yellow arrows on it and traveling with an older companion. >> i request an engagement authority while my team was ready on the sniper system. the response leadership did not have the engagement authority for us, do not engage. eventually the individual disappeared. to this day we believe he was a suicide bomber. we were ignored. >> reporter: is that true. >> first of all i honor his sacrifice and everybody else who got injured or killed as a result of the abby gate attack. but i can tell you there was no be on the look out for a person meeting that description on that day or prior to that day in afghanistan. >> reporter: is he misremembering? what's happening? >> well, i don't know. >> reporter: wawas the intelligence before the attack? how specific was it? did you know that a bomber was staging somewhere. >> so the day of the attack and the day prior we were dealing with four significant threats. we were dealing with the threat of a vehicle-borne ied, a car with a bomb in it that we thought was being worked to attack us. we were dealing with the possibility of a suicide vest

attack. but without specific description of the person. we were dealing with the possibility of an indirect fire attack, either rockets or mortars. but i do know that there was no intelligence to support the assertion that we knew what the bomber looked like. >> how do you explain that he thinks he remembers it so clearly? >> so i can't explain that. all i can tell you is the intelligence that was in play at that time and i'm pretty confident of that. >> reporter: a new book by author jerry dunn reaven and james hassan says there was also a request for a drone strike to be the carried out at the hotel where the bomber was believed to be. the request was allegedly turned down. is that true. >> that is not true. >> reporter: we've also heard a lot lately from the families of the servicemen and women killed at abbej gate invited to capitol hill by republican lawmakers, they feel military leaders, including you, have not been transparent with them. >> how kit just be acceptable that our snipers cannot get an immediate and straight answer from their commanding officer.

>> when they asked mckenzie did your guys have any opportunity to kill the suicide bomber before august 26th, he stated no. we now know that they were tracking him for up to 30 days before the incident. and even asked the taliban to go where he was staying at and raid it which they didn't. >> i can tell you that we just didn't have that fidelity of information. >> reporter: did you have intelligence that the suicide bomber of or members of isis-k were gathering at a hotel near kabul airport. >> a variety of targets we passed to the taliban to take a look at, more than ten, some they did some they didn't in action. we have nothing specific about a hotel that we asked them to take a look at. >> reporter: do you this i the taliban let the suicide bomber through intentionally. >> i don't believe so. >> reporter: do you regret cutting that deal with the taliban to have them provide security outside the perimeter? >> i do not regret cutting that deal and i feel had we not done so our casualties would have been significantly higher. >> reporter: do you feel these families are being used as

political pawns. >> really not for me to say. i feel their pain. i understand the nature of the loss that they have suffered. i have tremendous respect for the suffering that they've gone through. >> reporter: is there anything you could have done differently? >> you always look back anytime you lose people and you wonder if you could have done things differently and i am haunted by that. i think about it quite a bit. it's one of the many regrets that i have. i examine everything we did i think about it particularly in august of every year for the rest of my life i'm going to think about this very hard. >> do you blame the stated department for the delays that led to the chaos we saw at the airport. >> want to stay on it until the very end and often push that decision until you're in an extremist situation. i think it is a case of american exceptionalism or american ar gains depending your perspective to believe you can withdraw beaten from the field of battle and still maintain a large political platform in the country you're actually retreating from. i go back to the basic decision to wait so very late to begin the bring people out after we

had already given away bagram air field, after we had already drawn down to a very low footprint in the country. i think those were the decisions that led to the scenes at the airport in kabul. >> reporter: in your opinion should the u.s. still have troops in afghanistan today from a national security perspective? >> that was my recommendation then. i see no reason to change that recommendation now. >> reporter: how do you think history will treat the withdraw and president biden's decision to bring all u.s. troops home from afghanistan. >> i believe history's going to view the decision to come out of afghanistan in the way that we did and the manner that we were directed to come out as a fatal flaw and i think history's going to be very hard on that. >> trace: general examiner nice job, let's bring in u.s. marine veteran and mighty oaks foundation founder chad. bottom line general mckenzie says history will view this as a fatal flaw. what do you think? >> yeah, absolutely they will. this is a fatal flaw. a black eye on america and america's national security is

jeopardized because of what happened in afghanistan in august of 2021. first of all, jennifer griffin did an amazing job with that interview so glad it was done and i'm thankful general mckenzie agreed to do it f integrity is the hall mark of all marines from private to general. and i have respect for him to speak to truth against president biden who dismissed the guidance of his generals, diplomats and advisors. couple things i agree with him with is, one, we absolutely should have stayed in afghanistan and we should still be in afghanistan. it was a lie to american people that we were in a 20-year endless war and we have to leave 2500 troops there. i can name 12 places around the world that we have 2500 troops. it doesn't keep us at wars, it keeps us out of wars. >> trace: and chad what about the intel that they didn't have intel on the suicide bomber at abbey gate and were never given up any insight. >> i don't agree with that.

state pa toons strategic acquisition platoons impro on the battlefield to identify and eliminate threats. the general says there was no intel there. sergeant barr statements identify him as being the intel. i have to have sergeant bar gas saw what he saw try to those threats and was denied that. the ability to take out that threat goes all the way back to the white house, removing the neo operation, taking the neo operation away from general mckenzie, taking it away from the department of defense and giving it to secretary blinken and the state department so that dod actually did not have the authority. and so when you have a marine and scout sniper on the ground asking for authority to take out this threat, that that's something to be run up to the state department who had no business being in charge of a neo operation and the reason we lost 13 of our service members that day, 170 civilians and hundreds of others that were injured. and i mean the tal -- >> trace: i've got to go, chad, i just want to get your

thoughts, very important, this whole idea where he does not regret having the taliban secure the perimeter at the airport. i have ten seconds for you. do you agree with that? >> i do not agree with that. the taliban was our enemy the day before we withdrew and are our enemy to this day. they were sent out to look at ten targets, i mean, you have to believe the taliban or isis, all one in the same on the battlefield that day. >> trace: yeah, chad, great insight as always. thank you sir. >> thank you >> coming up one mom taking action against a school board that she says kept her kid's gender transition a secret >> and still to come a state trooper heard his engine purr we'll tell you what happened next and how one soccer team keeps their grass green all season long. the day's best viral videos are next but first a live look at downtown providence rhode island on the east coast where it's 11:36. we are coming right back. ♪ the long-lasting scent of gain flings made it smell like dave was in his happy place...

to avoid something like this. it was never on my radar. it never should have happened. it could have easily been avoided had the school just been honest with me. >> trace: it really is crazy. bernadette you kind of look at these things and you see what michelle has gone through and yet just yesterday in california a judge rules that schools have to withhold, they blocked it, they have to withhold this information from parents. it's mind boggling. >> it is. and what judge garza just yesterday, i believe, was essentially say that children become the creatures of the state. once they assert a discordedend ant gender identity it's as if immediately it's assumed that children have to be protected from their parents rather than by their parents and that the school officials become the parents of the child. fortunately trace, the united states supreme court decided a hundred years ago that children

are not the mere creatures of the state they belong to parents and there is a constitutional right to direct the upbringing education and the care of their children under the united states constitution. >> trace: yeah. when you brought this up to the school district and the school board, michele, what did they say to you? did they defend their actions? >> yeah. they complete -- yes. and i asked them, did you not read her school forms that when your child goes to school, you fill out the forms where i clearly stated that she had trauma as a child. she had been in inpatient for five days the month before and that she was struggling with her mental health. they were quite aware of it. i made it quite clear. >> trace: it really is fascinating and kind of, as you said, bernadette, it's become a nationwide push, right? these parents and parental rights. but i want to, moms for liberty has come under attack from the
