ashley: yeah.d in terms of that, you know, i think the voter has to determine at the polls is he competent or not. ashley: right. yes, you're right. dave, president biden was also pressed on whether sharing our very own u.s. intelligence with the taliban was a good idea. listen to his answer, and then i'll ask you. >> -- when our military has contacted their military counterparts in the taliban and said this, for example, this bus is coming through with x number of people on it made if up of the following group of people. we want you to let that bus or that group through. so, yes, there have been occasions like that. ashley: dave, i'm shocked by this, but what do you make of our military sharing intelligence with the enemy? >> i feel like we're living in some kind of alternate reality. this trust in the taliban is unbelievable. giving them a list is unbelievable. i mean, he should get them on the phone, talk to them, have them gather at the capital and then drop j downs right where he's talking to

ashley: i'm ashley strohmier. todd an jillian are off this morning. now to the border crisis, homeland security secretary new mayorkas announcing border crossings hit a 21 year high. carley: griff jenkins is live with brand-new audio recordings that are telling. >> reporter: we haven't seen these kind of numbers since the spring of the year 2000, never during a raging pandemic. secretary mayorkas announcing this number here, more than 212,000 encounters in july, a five-fold increase over last july. >> the situation at the border is one of the toughest challenges we face. it is complicated, changing, and involves vulnerable people at a time of a global pandemic. >> reporter: but behind closed doors, in this leaked audio, talking to border patrol agents, mayorkas admits the situation is much more dire. >> these numbers cannot continue. we cannot get to the point we were a couple weeks ago and we're going to make sure that doesn't happen. >> reporter: meanwhile, outgoing border patrol chief rodney skott not mincing words on what his agents are facing tod

ashley: mr.bly concerning now. >> because as i said earlier, thanks for the question, the more vulnerable this country is, the more the cartels take advantage of the border. the cartels decide to push 100 or 200 family members through one area knowing that border patrol is going to deploy to that humanitarian crisis. when border patrol goes to that area to deal with that crisis, that's when they move the fentanyl through, the gang members, criminals, the people that don't want to get caught. so the cartels pick and choose where the border patrol responds to. and that's why you see over 90,000 fentanyl overdoses in this country during this border crisis. one thing i want to mention, i seen chad wolf on earlier saying the biden administration not doing anything other than title 42. they said they're just not going to shut it off. what they're saying is we're going to continue doing what we're doing. how's that working9 out, right? what the administration failed to tell you, an alien claiming asylum

ashley: okay.rically they don't relinquish that power. i am afraid everybody has become complacent and we're not going to get it back. president reagan said the closest thing to eternal life is a government program or a government mandate. they never want to roll it back. and the only thing standing between what they want to do and our freedom is the constitution, the declaration of independence and the constitution. the spreading out of powers, the separation of powers, understanding too much power sol dated anywhere is always -- consolidated anywhere or is always used improperly. and you know folks on the left want to get rid of and steam roll a lot of those basic principles in the name of science, in the name of safety, that they can tell you what to do because it could affect somebody else. they've ryed it -- tried it in other places, and now it has to do with to covid-19 vaccine. will: i think the scariest part is how how many of our fellow americans are complacent, but become the enforcers of

interesting, ashley. ashley: thanks, carley. to this, small business owners across america are struggling to keep their doors open due to staffing shortages including our next guest who was forced to close liss restaurant. join -- close his restaurant. joining me to discuss more is the manager of the restaurant, kevin thomas. thanks for being with us this morning, kevin. >> thank you for having me. ashley: before we dive into this, what are you going to do in the meantime? are you going to look for another job? do you have another option. >> it's kind of ironic but because of the shortages, it's so widespread, i mean, most of our staff was able to get jobs almost right away after we unfortunately had to close our doors. ashley: i feel like everywhere you go, every business, whether it be a restaurant or anything else, you see a help wanted sign so i would assume that it wouldn't be too hard to find one for those who do want to work but also it says main has not eliminated that $300 weekly additional unemployment benefit but they

many conservatives have kind of considered ashley bab it to be a martyr. many liberals are deeply concerned about this and the politicization of this death. and despite the fact that the us capital police now say the case is closed, certainly won't be the last time we hear the name, ashley babbitt, or hear the case brought up. many conservatives will probably continue to raise the issue in the future. donald trump wants the name of the officer who pulled the trigger, revealed many conservatives or outraged feel. this was an unnecessary death. this was a killing. they've kind of turned into a martyr. so that's the situation. but as of now, the capital police say case closed no further investigation, no disciplinary action against the officer. okay, well thanks for the update that caleb is kind of more than reporting for us from new york. and thank you for watching. that brings you up to date. that's how the news is looking so far here in our see. but don't forget, go to website full of stories too. you can find that at asked me the the the, the, the, the jo

ashley: sure.ed prior to the pandemic in a business called higher view, which does video and virtual interviewing. it is on-demand, and on demand is important in two ways. one, it helps you -- it helps more people get onto an interview, and during the pandemic that was maybe something people wanted to do as an aside. during the pandemic, coming -- coming out of the pandemic, folks are realizing that the process of interviewing virtually is a really powerful way to drive efficiency, effectiveness of the interview through the structured interview, and interview volumes are up 70% year-over-year. as a result of the labor fluidity, analysts talked about earlier, it also the dynamics around adoption. guy: what is your sense of how much has changed as a result of the pandemic at how much has simply been accelerated? have we seen something new, or is this just a continuation of trends that we are already trying? ashley: i see the dynamic as an acceleration of trends that were already in place. the reason
