to mexico back with morgan ortagus and richard fowler, there's a number of us who have been saying for days mr. president you have to get our friend out of afghanistan and the interpreters out and the people who fought alongside our troops. now that it evolved into a chaotic scramble at the end there is a concern we see the airport and the flights going out that maybe this is it being run perfectly, are you concerned that potentially there are people leaving afghanistan the auto be concerned about. >> we definitely had to be concerned whose getting on the planes in kabul and who got the visas and didn't get the visas. for a long time i called for and a lot of other folks called for how do we reform our immigration process and a refugee processing of visa process this goes far beyond the white house this involves congress, the law that govern many of these things were written in the 1980s and now in 2021 we have computers and a modern system sort immigration system and how we process refugees and those seeking asylum have also got to be modernized that is the call or than anything else

the man panel >> right, richard fowler's here, hi friends. you did not get to talk about that. is not censoring you. but tell me, why is he having a hard time? this by the way the 5:30 eight aggregate number was before afghanistan. >> yes don't get me wrong i think the president made a huge misstep and a huge a blunder and we saw this past weekend. folks of the harling images of people holding onto american airplanes as they were trying to leave afghanistan. at that particular point in time that's in the president's approval rating began to tank but he did not prepare the american people for what they were witnessing. understanding whether or not we left yesterday, today, tomorrow, ten years the scene might have looked potentially the same. the white has to really do now is they've got to begin to have real conversations with the american people about what the future of afghanistan looks like. will we be able to get our americans living there out. will we be able to get those who help our troops, who worked in journalistic organizations, wome

richard fowler, also fox news contributor. nt to begin with you because i like to mix it up a little bit. i can say to you, having seen this story and having watch this unfold, i don't think there's any question that this strike will be received positively by the vast majority people in the american landscape. we don't know an awful lot about it and whether or not it will be consequential. your take tonight. >> thanks for having me, kevin. for the past couple days a lot of folks have questioned whether or not joe biden has a hard or has the ability or have the wherewithal to strike back against isis-k. they also question whether joe biden could lead the country through this very, very difficult couple of weeks. what we know is that joe biden is unafraid, undeterred, and he said a couple days ago, he will strike back and he will answer. tonight was an answer. i don't think it will be an answer. joe biden understands isis-k as an enemy of the united states will do everything in his power to strike. beyond that there's folks who d

joining me now former white house press secretary and fox news contributor ari fleischer as well as richard fowlerare a friend and you are a reasonable guy. so, have the biden administration failed on this issue? because, when you look at the polling, he is not doing good there. when you talk to the border patrol, is he not doing there when you talk to those border states, he is not doing well to them and when you talk to henry cuellar, a congressman that's on the border, he says the same thing. so, where do you rate him on this? >> well, thanks for having me, lawrence. i think there is a couple things going on here. i have done some reporting at the border and who is actually at the border a couple weeks ago. what we know a lot of folks on our border from the continent of africa, haiti, lgbtq folks abused in their home country who have died to come to our southern border to seek asylum. they deserve the right to seek asylum. with that being said. >> lawrence: hold on, richard, i don't mean to cut you off. you said they are coming to seek asylum. is that the point where they are supposed to seek a

mercedes schlapp, former white house visor strategic communications director richard fowler. watching this and they are doing in the ads and in person we told you so. >> i think there are two dynamics happening now. first of all, i think president biden's honeymoon period is over. i think part of this is because of this inflation problem that we're seeing creeping into our economy. secondly, the inflation is problem is a political liability for the democrats. there is no question when you are seeing the real average hourly wages decline, when you are seeing consumer prices continue to rise about 5% a month. you know, these are issues that impact american families. these are issues that impact minorities, low-income families looking at the rise in gas prices, food prices, and saying how can i afford this? i think that the democrats' reckless fiscal policies will put an enormous amount of pressure on our economy next year. >> harris: richard, i said republicans are saying we told you so and i say democrats are saying we'll build it back better. is this what you had in mind? >>

so much to debate tonight from the rising crime to accusations of mass have 'richard fowler, the authoren black and blue being a black cop and an american under siege. brandon tatum, and the author of how trump is making black america great again, horace cooper. welcome back all of you. >> thank you. >> good to beer, shannon. >> shannon: let's start with the crime issue. the "washington examiner" has a piece about cori bush saying she spent $70,000 of her campaign money on private security even while publicly campaigning to defund the police. bush represents one of the three most dangerous cities in the country in 2020. her constituents clearly need the police a lot more than bush does, yet bush's constituents do not have the privilege and wealth to protect himself with the security team. what you make of that conversation? >> i wish they would use the same energy they used against president trump and saying he incited violence on january 6. cori bush is inciting violence for police officers to be murdered. and if you go back to look at her constituency and in her district, how many bla

richard fowler fox news contributor join me now. mercedes i'll start with you.ome forward and said they are not for defund the police and then they have the now the loudest mouth for the democratic party saying quite the contrary. is this a gift for republicans in 2022? >> absolutely. here is the deal. when you have this sort of division in the democrat party where the biden administration is separating themselves from cori bush's remarks, it is very telling. it just shows that they are quite frankly in a pickle because how are they going to be able to in any way defend what cori bush has said? her comments are a betrayal to black americans. 81% of black americans believe we need to have the same or more police presence in their communities to keep communities safe. the mere fact that cori bush has made these comments i think are so selfish and so telling and very problematic for the democrats. we know that as we've seen in the polls, the defund the police message is not working for the democrats. the american people want and expect especially minority communiti

mercedes schlapp, former white house advisor for communications and richard fowler.r top line thoughts on this. >> first of all i wish the mask mandates and vaccine mandates wouldn't become a political issue as we've seen happen here in our country. secondly, when you are looking at the fact that these federal agencies investigating these states because of the mask mandates, i don't think it's their business. they should be investigating for example critical race theory and the indoctrination of the left in these schools. i think you have to leave the mask mandates to the local districts and to the states for them to best determine what is best for their students and, harris, make sure you include the parents in the discussion. let the parents opt out. let the parents have options whether they have their child in person or virtual, whether they believe there should be a mask mandate or mask optional. >> harris: richard. >> thanks for having me. i agree with mercedes. there shouldn't be politics into the importance of wearing masks in schools. if you look at the data,
