stuart kaplan now, former fbi agent. stuart, i want to start with this, the u.s. district of wyoming charging brian laundrie with unauthorized use of a capital one debit card and spending more than $1,000 resulting in a federal arrest warrant for him. how does this change this investigation? how -- does it indicate that laundrie wants to live and keep running from the law? >> well, i think it first indicates that law enforcement, as of last wednesday, has a lot more information than we were led to believe previous last wednesday. interesting with that indictment that was unsealed, typically in the federal system an indictment would remain sealed til such time as the person is apprehended. there was a motion that was filed to unseal that indictment. that was to elicit the public's health. i am more than confident that there is also more than enough evidence at this point to charge brian laundrie with respect to the homicide of gabby petito. i think it's indicative that there's more than credible evidence given the resources and manpower that has been spent over in the carlton reserve. i think they do believe that they are on him, they have credible evidence, and they're going to, my guess, apprehend him. it's just a matter of time. i did also want to discuss, you know, interestingly enough, the parents seemingly were uncooperative at one point. i do believe now the participants are more than cooperative given the fact that if i was the prosecutor, i'd issue a grand jury subpoena. i'd put them in the grand jury. whether or not they would exercise their fifth amendment, i think at some point they would come onboard and give now credible information which is leading them to exhaust this search in carlton reserve. arthel: do those parents face legal jeopardy? >> that's a great question. in the federal system, if you bring someone before the grand jury, obviously, someone has the right to exercise their fifth amendment not to testify. there will be a trade-off if i was the prosecutor even knowing probably there's information that we believe that the parents were obstructionists, interfering with the investigation, there's going to be a trade-off to offer them immunity. and that would then force them, absent putting them in jail on a contempt charge, typically it would force someone then such as the parents to have to come onboard and cooperate and give testimony against their son. arthel: but he was their son three weeks ago, he's still their son so really how likely is it that they would be forthcoming with their information regarding his whereabouts, his movements -- [inaudible conversations] >> and it's a great question. personally, in my experience and i think in most law enforcement experience, parents want to be parents above and beyond more than anything to protect our children. i think at some point when you realize you have the full force of the united states government perhaps coming down on you, i think at some point everybody has their breaking point. i don't believe any parent would sign up to also subject themselves to being prosecuted and ultimately, you know, face jail time. i think at some point these people realized that it was just a matter of time until it was up, and i think they wanted to do damage control. if i was their attorney, i'd be interested in doing damage control, protect them and also, obviously, cooperate with the investigators. arthel: meanwhile, of course, our heart aches for gabby petito and her parents and for other parents who share that same heart ache. i want to ask you, stuartt the fbi will now begin to pay more attention to reports of missing people of color? >> you know, i have to tell you, you know, and i've been asked this question, i will tell you this, i think all law enforcement whether it's the fbi on the tate level or local -- state level or local level, i think people that sign up to do this type of work and certainly the seasoned detectives who, unfortunately, have to deal with the tragedy of the loss of life, i don't think they look at a person's background or their color of their skin with respect to the victim. i think a detective, an agent, they want to an rehend an individual that is -- apprehend an individual that is responsible for the death of someone regardless. i would hate to think that that in any way would interfere or slow down the process. with that being said, you know, the admission of the fbi -- the mission of the fbi really is national security and to keep us all safe throughout the united states and globally. i think, you know

stuart is done with social media etc.. it is a problem for the marine corps while stuart broke the chain of command i can send general mackenzie, generally, secretary austen, they have broken the chain of trust and confidence of the american people and for that they should be embarrassed. they should drop their rank and they should resign for that because today's hearing showed that they aren't going to accept accountability for the mistakes they made him a they wanted to blame everybody else, the afghan government, the afghan military, the weather, however but i'm telling you they should resign. >> shouldn't they be fired? resign, shouldn't they be fired? >> you and i both know president biden isn't going to fire them. >> we have to get word out to the american people what is going on, he needs our help. his family needs our help and we are asking the american people to write their congressman who say it's not all right with them, then we need to say we want relief, we want his pension reinstated, to have his medical benefits that he is going to need after the deployment but if they won't do that, at least we let him out of the marines. he asked for that. and that is what we are asking for, for people to support his family by going to typesittersfoundation.org, the donate button at the top and hit who do we donate for and find lieutenant colonel stuart schiller on their. his family desperately needs funding. to live. >> this is - the legal fees we are going to work on that. this is ridiculous, this is a travesty what is happening to your son, - >> we would like to think this will be over in days or weeks but we have been our expectations have been leveled by stewart's legal team that the marines could drag this out for years. their objective would be - and by the way, pretrial confinement is a nice comfortable word. >> is your son a flight risk? >> know. he loves his country. he loves america. >> they don't want him to talk, they worried what else he might say. that is why. >> they don't want him to talk and have not brought charges on him and are holding him in solitary confinement. >> if that's not okay - >> they seemed like solitary confinement lately. always human rights civil rights folks who used to say solitary confinement was cruel and unusual punishment but they love using as punishment against people they think are politic

stuart very nebraska. 10:00 eastern time -- stuart varney. while the markets are lower, a little bit mixed right now. the dow is down 139 points after that huge miss in the august jobs report. take a look at the 10-year treasury yield, because as investors are selling stocks, they are also selling bonds, and that is up to 1.3. big tech improving a little bit, right now it's only amazon ta's trading slower by three-tenths of a percent. the cryptos are moving higher, sort of a renewed inflation trade, if you will. bitcoin just under 51,000, ethereum is doing well also. we just got the latest read on the service services sector. lauren, ism non-manufacturing, what's going on with that number? >> it's for august, and it was stronger than expected at 61.7. this is interesting because, as you noted, the services sector of the economy, and we saw in the august jobs report there were no jobs created in retail and hospitality, and the retail sector is struggling. these are all service jobs. this number stronger than expected, it did comp down harply from the all-time high in -- sharply from the all-time high in july. actually, the dow went down about 30 additional points after this number was released. jackie: so interesting to see the dynamics in the labor market. thank you for that, lauren. >>> now this, 235,000 jobs added in august, and we've been talking about it all morning, sharply missing the estimates. labor secretary marty walsh joins me now. we have got 10 million job openings, secretary -- good to see you this morninghi, jackie, how are you? jackie: a lot of folks on wall street are wondering why this number came in so low. >> i mean, there's probably lots of reasons for it. i think number one, you just mentioned the hospitality number. for the last three months, those numbers have been leading the way in significant ways. this month we really had no growth at all. i think we can tie some of it to the delta variant in some places as far as people not going out to eat as much and not working in those industries as much. but certainly, there's positive signs here. we are adding jobs. we have more work to do. the forecast was off in a big way, but also the forecast was off in a big way last month as well the other way. but, you know, over the last three months we're averaging still 750,000 jobs, and since president biden has taken office, 4.5 million jobs have been added to the economy. our unemployment did drop to 5.3 % in this -- 5.2% in this report as well. jackie: you're right, we saw a very strong jobs report the last time you and i spoke. the bottom line is here is that the economy is slowing. you mentioned that that unemployment rate dipped to 5.2%. the headline looks good there, but a lot of folks don't actually understand the calculation. it just means less people are looking for work. that's not a positive sign heading into the fall, and we wanted to see this reopening gain some steam. >> we're also seeing unemployment claims down, so that's a sign right there. and we are seeing growth. there's no question about it. i would not calculate this as, or describe this as the economy is slowing down, i would describe it that we continue to be consistently moving forward. a year ago last february, 18 months ago, 19 months ago, we were hit with a global pandemic in the united states of america. there's no play bbook, nothing to look back at history to' how to come out of this. we've just got toment continue the make sure people are safe, follow the cdc guidelines, take care of themselves, get vaccinated. but also, you know, the more people that get vaccinated, i think it's important to understand here if we don't bring back our companies and strengthen our companies, they can't hire people. so we need to make sure we provide them with supports as well so wement continue to open our economy. -- we continue to open our economy. jackie: i hear you, but i just want to ask you how you characterize the economy as moving forward when you look at wage growth, up six-tenths of a percent, and you see core inflation, cpi inflation, 5.4%. the wages are not moving in pace with the inflation which you're probably going to say is transstory, but a lot of people don't believe that. >> well, it is, number one, and it's good to see wage growth. i guess when i say the economy's moving forward, from january 21st of this year to today, our unemployment claims are the lowest, we're moving forward in our country, and i think we still have a ways to go though. i don't want to paint a positive, rosy picture here. we still, obviously, have a ways to go. i'd love to be sitting here today saying we added millions and millions of jobs, but that that will come as we continue the move forward as long as we continue to take care of each other, offer the supports we need to continue to reopen our chi. jackie: last time we spoke, sir, we talked about the boosted unemployment benefits. you essentially told me the that wasn't keeping people from participating in looking for jobs. your thoughts as we shift, we move past labor day, are we going to see an uptick when those permanently expire in. >> well, when we talked last month, we only had, i think, about a week or so of data to look at the information, and we saw no increase in labor participation in those states that ended unemployment benefits. but i think what's happening right now, what's going to happen right now, last week, next week and this week school starts, we're going to have an opportunity to get more people back into the job market as long as we we keep this delta variant urn control. hopefully, we're going to see more participation in the market. there are companies looking to hire people, so we just need to partner people up. we also have our own american jobs centers in the federal government, and we've been pushing for the last week or so using those american jobs centers as a place for americans to go to get connected with jobs. if you don't know what to do, where do i find a job, i want to change careers, go to an american jobs center in your neighborhood. we're ready to go, ready to help you, ready to connect you to jobs. jackie: final question, if i may, the labor participation rate, 61.7%, what i'm hearing -- this was stagnant month on month here, but going into september when we're looking at that number, are we going to see an improvement in. >> the answer's hopeful, i mean, hopefully. i don't put much credence in the projections because the last several months have been missed. i'm not criticizing anyone, i just want to make sure we're doing everything we can to lay down a foundation here in the united states of america to get as many americans back to work. businesses need them, that's what we need here. jackie: well, the participation doesn't increase, that actually is a very bleak forecast, sir. >> well, let's see what happens. hopefully next month we're having a whole different conversation. jackie: i hope so. good to see you. labor secretary, marty walsh, we really appreciate this. >> happy labor day. jackie: now this, president biden's approval ratings drop 6 points from last month. i want to bring in tammy bruce. tammy, americans starting to lose trust in this president x they're starting to look at this whole situation as a crisis of confidence. >> well, it is. and, you know, just with your conversation with the secretary there not only was the jobs report missed, but that 6 points down for biden is the 6 points up when it comes to black unemployment. so it went from, like, 8.2% to 8.8%. when we dig into the details of what's happening in this country, it is quite bleak. and the spinning does not help. americans see this happening every day, and that's part of why joe biden's numbers are also going down, is that there was this belief in what they were being told about him being empathic, they're going to have america back, about the economy's going to be great, your life is going the change, he's going to, you know, get rid of covid, and look at where we are. people are realizing that they were misled, and that's, i think, a diplomatic word to all of this, and they don't like that. americans really want -- we understand, we know what's possible. we know what we're facing, we know what we're fighting. we also saw results with, as an example, donald trump. so it was close enough for americans to realize that the american president can have an impact. that one person matters, and right now we're dealing with a man and his team who have misled the american public, and the dangerous thing is they continue to do so on every issue. and so where i think americans are understandably upset. jackie: and it's a problem for him because of the botched withdrawal from afghanistan. for just a moment, we continue do to see, tammy, how that unfolds. the situation could with get worse, there's still americans on the ground there and the taliban is in complete control. they were looking at the covid crisis, the management, the economy reopening, that was the one place they were winning a little bit, and now you get a jobs report like this, and you have to question that as well. >> well, you do, but we're thinking they're in a bubble here because other things happen in the world. things happen in life. all the huge spending bill, $3.54 trillion, whatever it's going to end up becoming if it as passes -- which i hope it doesn't -- doesn't take into account that unique things happen in life. look at the hurricane. americans have to plan for the future and have a savings in the event that there's an emergency. you can't behave in this manner when you're just dealing with wish fantasies and you're going from how're to hour to -- hour to hour to win a news cycle. the problem is joe biden's lies, and he misrepresents everything, cost people their lives. we saw that in afghanistan. now, of course, with our enemies emboldened, we already are have news, of course, of an islamist terrorist attacking people in new zealand whether it's -- jackie: [inaudible] >> exactly. and terrorism expands, and there's more -- you know, talking about, what, a military reduction, reduction in our military budget. things like that are crazy. jackie: yeah. >> and so this is what americans are worried about. does the president have a grip on what's happening in reality, and does his team care about the impact on our lives. jackie: and they should be concerned as we're going into that 20th anniversary of 9/11. you left afghanistan in shambles with the taliban in control, isis-k now emerging and, essentially, all of our enemies are colluding together. so much to talk about, so much to take in. tammy bruce, great to see you this morning. thank you. >> thank you, ma'am. jackie: come on in, lauren, you have some movers we're looking at. starting with joanne's -- >> yeah, the fabric store. 30% in the quarter as customers cut back on do it yourself. they were downgraded to market perform, so that stock is down 14%. fubo-tv, the sports streaming company, they're now offering mobile betting in arizona, the second state where they've gotten a license in addition to iowa just recently. the stock is up almost 4%. they also say they're on on track to launch their sportsbook at the end of the year it's growth for investors particularly because with you're pairing a streaming service where you're watching the game with the device in your hand where you can bet on what you're watching. yeah. and this also, elon musk saying he prefers to stay out of politics after texas governor greg abbott cited his support. what happened here? >> it's an understandable move. i think it makes sense but not for elon musk because he typically says what he wants. the texas governor said he speaks with elon all the time, and elon says he doesn't regret his decision to leave california for texas because of the social policies in california. but then we have musk distancing himself, and he tweeted -- do we have the tweet? i believe government should rarely impose its will upon the people and, when doing so, should aspire to maximize their cumulative the happiness. that said, i would prefer to stay out of politics because staying out of politics usually means good business sense for your company, but it's not characteristic of elon musk. jackie: right. lauren, thank you so much for that. coming up, whats' going on with mcdonald's ice cream machines, that's what the fed wants to know.

>> reporter: was, jackie -- because, jackie, the taliban are the only game in town in kabul because of the way the u.s. pulled out even though, as you mentioned, u.s. officials say the taliban are not good people. >> no one, the president, secretary of defense, no one from the intelligence community says the taliban are good actors, right? we are not saying that. that is one of the reasons we are being so clear that we are not rushing to recognition. we will be watching clearly. we have a range of leverage at our disposal including access to the global marketplace. >> reporter: at walter reed late last night, the president and first lady visited troops injured in kabul as a new washington post poll finds the majority of americans, 53 percent, believe the president bears either a great deal or a good amount of blame for that attack. it has now been three days since the president talked about the americans he was going to get out of kabul but didn't. he has spoken about helping other americans affected by ida. listen here. >> my message to the people on the gulf coast, who i'm going to visit tomorrow, we are here for you. and we're making sure the response and recovery is equitable so that those hit hardest get the resources they need and are not left are behind. >> reporter: not left behind. that is a similar promise to the one the president made to americans in kabul who are still in kabul. he is set to address the economy any minute, but he is running right now about 20 minutes late. so we wait. jackie? jackie: peter doocy, thank you. you know, you saw that image of the last soldier leafing in night -- leaving in night vision, and you think to yourself, my god, the troops are out, but we still have americans on the ground. thank you for that report. now come in congressman michael waltz from florida. congressman, does it look like this is going to turn into a hostage situation? you've got americans on the ground right now with a hostile taliban. >> yeah, that's absolutely right. and, by the way, i think that number of just a hundred is bogus and it's low. it's not counting the number of green cardholders, legal permanent residents, children and families of these americans that are not going to leave be. mind. so i don't know how the -- behind. so i don't know how the white house is playing footsie with that number, but that is not what we are tracking. many i a office and other -- my office and other congressional offices are in regular contact with these grassroots groups that have sprung up, and they are strapped right now at -- trapped right now at various airports and border crossings around the country. but the state department won't request the clearances for where these planes need to land, where these privately-funded charter planes need to land. so they're stuck because of bureaucracy, and we've engaged at the highest levels of congress, and we're not seeing movement. it's unbelievable. jackie: bureaucracy, i agree with you on that point, but i also think it's a matter of optics, right in all of a sudden we left these people behind and we've got private contractors swooping in and bringing them out, if it is possible, if the taliban will allow it, it makes the administration look far worse than it looks right now. so far what they're hoping, essentially are, is those who were left on the ground slowly can trickle out, right, without the taliban doing anything because the taliban's worried about its image. but that's only going to last so long. >> yeah, that's only going to last so long. states and the administration should be working with these groups. this could be a public-private partnership where, you know, they have capabilities to get things done very agilely and simply on the ground. but instead, we're working at odds with each other k and that -- it just shouldn't be the case. at the end of the day, i think the administration's policy is to rely on the taliban to get kabul international back functional and rely on the qataris. but, look, the bombing at kabul airport shows we cannot rely on terrorists to screen for other terrorists, and we should not rely on terrorists to keep americans safe. and this notion that we have kind of moderate and good terrorists that we can work with -- jackie: right. >> -- is a bunch of garbage. everybody who served there knows that is a slippery slope to disaster. jackie: it's laughable. and i always say this, congressman, when it comes to the taliban and isis-k, supposedly they're not supposed to be on the same page, but you'll see how groups unite when it comes to taking action against the united states, and that's essentially what we saw in that suicide bombing. congressman waltz, great to see you. thank you. >> okay, thank you. jackie: the gop called out speaker pelosi after millions of dollars in the budget resolution earmarked for a park in her district. come in, lauren, with this. >> you can'ting make this stuff up. jackie: no.

stuart: well, thanks, everybody. lauren, susan, ashley, great show. neil, in three seconds, two, one, it's yours. neil: all right. stuart, thank you very, very much. we are following what's going on with the washington drama here as to whether we're going to see the government shut down. there are a couple of key moments in in that you're going to want to pay attention to. in fact, we just got word out of nancy pelosi here that she's optimistic that things could get done, saying that the house will move forward, her words, next week on infrastructure and the $3.5 trillion budgeting bill. that's significant because they've been sort of joined at the hip here. but timing is everything. some of the looming deadlines include monday when they're, hopefully, hopefully, going to vote on that roughly $1 trillion infrastructure measure, then a couple of days later, on the 30th, government funding technically runs out. that would be bad if you have no more money, but again, there are ways they could rob peter to pay paul to keep the whole thing going. but that would be the exact date we are technically out of dough. engen, i stre

stuart, thank you. thank that colleague sitting next to you there, jackie for filling in for me yesterday. thank you, jackie. we have a reversal of fortune today in the market, folks, but as stuart said it would really be a problem if all of sudden these gains evaporate and we add to credit's selling. we're not there yet. keep in mind we had been up over 300 points that is in the futures markets so there is a little bit of concern some of that is getting back. you can read into that any which way you want. still waiting word out of china specifically whether it is going to come to the rescue of evergrande group and at this point it has not hinted of that. we'll explore that a little more detail because you're not imagining, this is a pattern on the part of china to essentially risk doing great harm to itself to the markets and economy in china to make a bigger point here. so we'll watch that closely. let's get the latest on how all of this is reverberateing with tomorrow being the wrap-up of the two-day fed meeting, whether might telegraph changes to come. edward lawrence at white house. hey, edward. reporter: neil we'll have to see. market rebounded. lost some steam in the rebo

stuart varney on a couple of days ago who said now is the time to buy christmas presents because of supply chain problems. brian: stuart was really upset last year he didn't get anything on his list. and he wants to make sure people shopping for him shop early. ainsley: i did. i will say, i have been stacking up the magazines that i have been getting in the mail. i have got to go through them all and start my shopping. steve: magazine could be the only thing you wind up with. you better start shopping. ainsley: i know. brian: we have a lot to go over. ainsley: all gone. signed on. doesn't put brian's name on them. brian: that is not true. ainsley: that is true, right? we got the code word. steve: it happens. it was a lovely gift hi to though i still have mine cutting board monogram on it. steve: cooking with friends. brian: two years ago i ghouta got you both cars, brand new cars? remember that? ainsley: no. steve: apparently repos. ainsley: dawn did not send us that. brian: if you are in miami and wearing a speedo get something else on it's going to be cold. steve: no one wear as speedo. brian: no one told the europeans no one wears speedos. steve: when is the last time you were at the beach beach beach it's been a while. steve: last time at the beach 1975. brian: by the way if you a speedo also it comes with an ab roller you need to have good a.b.s to wear a speedo. not that people who wear speedos know that. steve: meanwhile, we are one block from broadway here in new york city on broadway at the redneck rivera right now in nashville. we find pete hegseth who is. ainsley: fully clothed. steve: people stopping by to say good morning. pete: good morning, brian. i once almost wore a speedo in the hudson river on "fox & friends." it's not totally out of fashion. brian: that's a little different. pete: the navy seals can do it. navy seal carveout for the speedo. ainsley: that's because they have good abs. pete: correct. we're at redneck rivera john rich is not here yet. is he sleeping because he owns the joint. he opened it up for us. we are going to be talking to great folks this morning. gutfeld is in nashville all week long. i will will be on there tonight. also john rich's show "the pursuit" premiering on fox business prime time so we will ask him about that. some folks we will probably be talking to here this morning that have a few thoughts on the issues of the day. i do want to make one quick correction. i promised breakfast here. if you come on out, you are not getting breakfast. you will get maybe a banana in the. a wild blue berry or a chocolate chip muffin in a package. not a full on breakfast with friends but you will get something if you come on out and maybe some coffee. that's it, guys. steve: individually wrapped and those are the protocols for doing things? pete: yep. pete: those are the protocols. don't expect anything else. no pancakes i don't have anything for you. i will toss it back to you and juggle it out. ainsley: whoa. good job. [applause] brian: not many people juggle food on television but pete can do that. pete is it true that bar has challenge coins? is it true? pete: challenge coins and patches canned scan maybe do it. patches from every police department, fire department can you find in the bar wall challenge coins all over the placements amazingly patriotic spot here i would expect nothing less from rich. maybe we will get that in the back when he comes. ainsley: if someone in the military challenges you in the bar with their coin, reach behind you and grab one off of john's wall. pete: yes. steve: pete is going to be on gutfeld tonight and gutfeld is live in nashville all week. there you see some of the exciting images. ainsley: exciting set. steve: i have in that booth on the first floor with our white house correspondent who we are going to now. ainsley: oh. steve: top military generals are heading back to capitol hill later today to house house lawmakers on the troop withdrawal from afghanistan. ainsley: this after they revealed president biden went against their advice to keep troops there on the ground. brian: biggest question is who advised him to leave the way he did. peter doocy is live at the white house. combative hearing. pete: and if i remember correctly, dad, when we were at the redneck rivera it was like 9:00 in the morning and we were trying to figure out if it was too early to have a beer. steve: peter, it was 9:00 but that was actually 10:00 eastern time and. brian: the answer is. steve: waiting for a flight because we had done the show from there. brian: the answer? pete: 10:00 eastern not too early. ainsley: auto a bloody mary. steve: we did have a beer. brian: father knows best. peter: flight lessons from your dad. thank you. steve: you bet. peter: three on one. three top generals say they told president biden leave 2500 troops behind in average. that happened. but the white house says that didn't happen. >> the range of viewpoints as is evidenced by their testimony today that were present national security team as would be expected a, as we asked for. peter: well it wasn't an even split the way the president remembers and he has been asked point blank. >> no one told year military advisers did not tell you no, we just should keep 2500 troops. it's been a stable situation for the last several years. we can could that. we can continue to do that? >> no. no one said that to me that i can recall. peter: the white house says though this is not black and white. generals though describe it as just that. >> i recommended that we maintain 2500 troops in afghanistan. i also have a few that the withdrawal of those forces would lead inevitably to the collapse of the afghan military force and eventually the afghan government. >> i am very much satisfied that we had a thorough policy review, all of the parties had an opportunity to provide input and that input was received. peter: looking back there is broad acknowledgment that that withdrawal was a deadly disaster. so now this white house is looking for a win badly enough that president biden has canceled a trip today to chicago where he was going to talk about vaccines. instead, he is staying. he's going to try huddle privately with lawmakers and save that multitrillion dollars budget of his and the bipartisan infrastructure deal. back to you. brian: peter, i was struck by and i don't know if you were in the afternoon session, all the other networks kept asking, they would build on each other's questions to jen psaki. can you name the general? if these generals recommended you didn't leave, and kept troops there who's the general that who recommended they do leave? and did you ever get -- did anyone give an answer? did jen psaki answer that question? peter: no. she did add on. she says the president also takes advice from his secretary of state and the national security adviser so tony blinken and jake sullivan. but if there was a general who told president biden that you could go from a couple thousand to zero overnight and not have any problems, the white house is not saying who that person is. ainsley: has anyone asked her why? why would he make this decision? peter: he has explained it many times. he thinks it was time to get out and he decided that it needed to be based on a date on a calendar that he picked months in advance. remember, initially he wanted it to be 9/11 and these generals were asked about it and they didn't want to exactly go there but there was no military reason for 9/11 or for august 31st or the 25th when they got out. ainsley: this was his decision this was on him. brian: we think although he deflected. peter peter he is the commander-in-chief. he gets the final say. ainsley: that's right. steve: exactly right. peter, thank you very much. joe biden said the generals unanimously supported the august general milley said that advice was actually given on august 25th, 10 days after the taliban had already taken control of kabul. and one other disturbing bit of new york city you know how that drone strike killed 10 people including seven children, the reason we were able to strike them was with this over-the-horizon kind of counter-terrorism reaction. yesterday the general said the over-the-horizon strategy they have a lot of doubts about whether or not it's going to be effective. and we saw with that drone strike it can be deadly. ainsley: general mckenzie took responsibility for that drone strike. there is a plane carrying 117 people. 59 of them are are children. afghan evacuees, some americans on this flight. steve: 8. ainsley: i read six. six or eight. green card holders six with is ivs on board this plane flew from kabul to the uae airport and supposed to fly to jfk here in queens, new york. then it was told you are going to be diverted to dulles airport. then they said no you are going to stay at uae. we are not giving any clearance with afghan refugees to come back to america. brian: is this unbelievable? we have to organize our own private industry in order to get americans out of a war that joe biden single-handedly decided he was sick of. and now we have to do it on our own. all they are asking for is an airport to land in, and the u.s. state department and defense won't make it happen. they had no answers yesterday to how we are getting the tens of thousands of people out or why they were left there. secretary of defense austin just shrugs his shoulders and rounds off the number. and when other organizations try to get people out and get them on the plane they won't let them land. inexcusable. keep in mind everything joe biden has got wrong. remember he told us this won't be saigon 1975? remember he said this is not inevitable that the taliban will take back the country? remember he said there is no one that recommended 2500 troops. and perhaps the biggest whopper that is the most consequential? al-qaeda is no longer in afghanistan. ainsley: and we will not leave americans stranded. brian: yeah, that's a huge one. so severing wrong. the good news is the vice president who can put her hand up now. she says she was the last person in the room when he made that decision. so we know two people that are responsible for the worst military decision in the history of modern america. the vice president and the president. steve: make that three. because when peter asked the president after those people were killed with the drone -- rather, at the gate, the president said the buck stops with me. i'm responsible. but it's donald trump's plan. so blame trump. brian: and susan rice. steve: trump and biden and kamala harris. meanwhile, tom mcclintock a member of congress. a republican from the great state of california, and jim jordan of ohio, have been hearing from whistleblowers and one, in particular, is troubling because this particular border patrol agent said that they have heard that unless they -- from their bosses, unless they are vaccinated by the first of november, they, essentially, are going to get fired and given the fact that so much bad stuff is happening at our southern border, you got wonder well, do we really want to eliminate anybody who is trying to keep the southern border safe? ainsley: what a double standard. we -- you have to help these illegal immigrants come true our country. they are not here legally. but we're going to make -- you are going to get fired if you don't get the vaccine. steve: they might cody coming across. brian: he said one in five are sick coming across our border. that coming from mayorkas giving a virtual to georgetown yesterday. jim jordan said he has got somebody who is saying this. it doesn't surprise me the all. this is mandate mania, whether it's u.s. state, u.s. military. everyone has got to get vaccinated because the 39 of the united states his patience is wearing thin with us. i'm sorry we are getting on his nerves. this is the same president that said someone who going to pay for what he claims was bad actions of border patrol on horses? so he put them on desk duty. didn't take their side. and said no one else can use a horse to round you will illegal aliens on a border you refuse to enforce and now you are going to tell everyone quit? do you know how depleted that force is already as well as overworked? here is jim jordan. >> the border patrol was given official notice that if border patrol agents don't get the vaccines by november of this year. six weeks from now, if they don't get the vaccine they will be fired. so, meanwhile today, we had a briefing from secretary mayorkas and we asked him about what's happening with these -- this flood of migrants coming across our southern border and he said relative to the vaccine he said we ask them if they want it, it's their choice. think about that. the people who have been busting their tails enforcing our law and doing their job on the border they will get fired if they don't take the vaccine meanwhile for people who break the law and come in here no big deal, your choice, it's up to you. steve: it's not as if the border patrol agents are working in a small room or a confined space. they are outside where, you know, the rate of transmission as we have heard can be absolutely tiny. meanwhile, the former president of the united states was on another channel yesterday where he was talking about, you know, we have got to fix immigration and you got to do it through congress because as former president barack obama said, what's going on right now is not good and it's unsustainable. here he is. >> immigration is tough. it always has been because on the one hand, um, i think we are naturally, um, are a people that wants to help others. at the same time, we're a nation stated. we have borders. the idea that we can just have open borders is something that, i think, as a practical matter is, is unsustainable. brian: wow, how unbelievable is that that he said something that joe biden won't say? the fact that we have open borders is unsustainable. we are a nation state. that sounds like the average american who we thought that was a given but not with this administration. steve: well, and jen psaki was asked about barack obama saying it was unsustainable and he said open borders is unsustainable and jen psaki said we don't have open borders. so, yes, he does agree. ainsley: i like what he said in the beginning too, i think all americans do agree with that we have heart for these individuals. we support immigration. no matter where you come from, just do it the right way. but it is -- i mean, it's hard to look at these images of these kids. the little boy etched in my mind that little boy etched in my teddy bear screaming don't leave me, don't leave me when those coyotes left him on the border it's heart breaking you have to do it the right way. even from a financial standpoint, it's unsustainable. how can americans pay for. brian: everybody. ainsley: all of these people. now they are talking about reconciliation bill that we will send all these illegal immigrants to school for free? someone halls to pay for that. brian: they go to college for free. that's fantastic. and put them in working class areas. ainsley: we are going to pay for our kids to go to school and those kids to pay for school. brian: exactly. how dare you complain. steve: the good news according to the administration is it has zero costs. which is great. meanwhile lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are set to get together and play ball later tonight for the annual congressional baseball game with people in the stands. ainsley: let's head out to the ball field where fox news headlines 24/7 reporter carley shimkus is joined by g.o.p. congressman steve scalise. hey, carley. carley: yeah, that's right. hey, ainsley, steve, brian, i am with congressman steve scalise, such an honor to talk to you. and democrats just took the field. so you can scout out the off session right now. >> that's right, carley. good to be with you. i miss all our friends back in the studio. great to have you back here. big league ballpark. ainsley: fans are going to be in the stand. >> 26,000 tickets have already been sold for today's game. carley: this is a charity event this raises over a million dollars for charity. >> $2 million for local charities that we're up to for tonight's game. carley: wow. also happening at such a wild time. this is celebration of bipartisan. there is so much fighting going on on capitol hill right now. especially among democrats. >> yeah. that's going to probably hit the waters' edge tonight. there is a lot of very big intense issues that we're dealing with on capitol hill. and, you know, you have got all these crises around the country with inflarks the border, hearings on afghanistan. and then you throw in the government funding. carley: infrastructure. >> tax hikes. they are trying to do $5.5 trillion package and they are in disarray on their side. carley: president biden says it's not going to cost anything. >> not going to cost anything except you will pay more in taxes. a tax on your natural gas if you use natural gas to heat your home or cool your home. you are going to be paying about 15% more every month. but i guess he doesn't think that's a cost. they are in totally out of direct correlation with most of our american families. carley: do you think it will pass. >> they don't have the votes right now. we don't support something that's going to jack up inflation and run millions of jobs out of the country. that's what the tax hike side is going to do. packaged it all together with infrastructure. and by the way, their version of infrastructure is, for example, about $100 billion in solyndra slush funds over at the department of energy. that's one of 9 things. carley: i know this event means so much to everybody on the field. all the republicans that are also playing but especially you because june 2017 it changed your life. shooter went onto the field, the republican practice and you almost lost your life. how your outlook on life change since then? >> you know, look, i surely had a different perspective. god performed miracles that day. carley: he certainly did. >> 2017. i'm lucky to be alive. he cherish every day like this. come out of to the ballpark it's a experience. carley: you said during that moment as it was happening you were praying and you felt better because you were in god's hands which i think is such a beautiful message and we are so glad you are okay. brian was talking before about how republicans have lost a few games in a row but you are confident that republicans will win this time around, huh? >> brian, you want to take the republicans in the game tonight. i feel good. steve: they are missing their star pitcher on the democrat side. >> working in the house. he. carley: that's right they're missing star pitcher but you have congressman "studio by" he has athletic guy. you can catch all the action on fox nation. starts at 7:05 eastern time. i think you are going to have a great evening. you got go to work first but then there is going to be some fun tonight. >> a few things at the office. carley: just a few things. >> thousands of people raise $2 million for charity. and we are going to be focused on beating the democrats, too. watch the game. fox sports. carley: absolutely. send it back to you in the studio. steve: it's nice that the democrats and republicans can get together and have a little fun. brian: right and compete and try to destroy each other that will be great. ainsley: republican coach earlier brian wanted carley to start off the interview with so you haven't really done well, you don't have a good record. brian: it was a suggestion. steve: maybe the last question not the first.

[laughter] john, you wrote a book called potus 1. it's george washington. pretty cool. i think george washington made some different decisions than joe biden is making right now. >> oh, absolutely. there would be accountability with the generals and also the people supporting them at home and in congress. he wrote several letters, george did, about asking for things and congress a lot of times during the war we know he had to take things into his own action. i think sometimes that's what we as americans we want to see accountability. we want to see just people actually doing something. i think the american people are mature enough to see accountability and that's why i think they love donald trump because there was accountability. there was maturity in terms of foreign policy. not this like baby steps taking ba because that's not who we are. we are mature. pete: you baked down what happened yesterday. a withdrawal deadline that failed. you got a chairman of the joint chiefs calling the chinese and giving them a heads up. and then you have him gossipping to reporters and admitting about it he seems to think that's what our generals are supposed to be doing. george, edith, john, thank you very much. appreciate your time back to you guys in new york city. full of jets fans who are also unhappy perpetually. brian: if they could score next week they just forgot to score this weekend. pete: yes. brian: for four quarters. ainsley: joel, are you wearing a jets it will today? >> yes. brian: 3-0 with the panthers. >> giants are it 0-3. brian: that's true. it wasn't right, pete to bring up the giants. steve: welcome to morning trash talk. brian: okay, am i supposed to read? ainsley: sure. brian: thanks, pete. he will be joined by john rich redneck rivera later in the show. you don't want to miss pete on gutfeld tonight. there is a lot about pete in tease. back in a moment. ainsley: making you jealous? steve: meanwhile, switching imeers, as we look in the rear view, the year of 2020 was summed up by politics, protests and the pandemic. our next guest wrote the book on how the virus up ended our lives. hear from him coming up next on hear from him coming up next on "fox & friends." brian: and pete is on gutfeld. we see a close up of the grille ...an overhead shot. she drives hands free along the coast. make it palm springs. cadillac is going electric. if you want to be bold, you have to go off - script. experience the all-electric cadillac lyric. ...

joining us now to react is author douglas murray. douglas? i mean, this was supposed to be about voter registration, and it ends up being this. she's not good without a script. >> no this was the most horrible exchange for kamala harris and i wonder how she's going to try to explain it in the days ahead. the student in question didn't express her truth or your truth as harris put it. she just lied, and said that israel is committing genocide, ethnic genocide, and flat out wrong. flat out untrue, complete lie, and instead of at least trying to pushback against what the student says, harris said this is your truth. the great oprahism of our time. i've got my truth, you've got yours, let's call the whole thing off. she shouldn't have said that she was quite right to say the girl in question had the right to express her opinion in america, of course she does, but that's quite different from having the right to liable the state of israel and expect the vice president to just nod along. brian: douglas i'm seeing big push now is kamala harris, the big comeback. she's going to lead the charge for the democrats to try to save the house and senate in the mid-terms. do you think the democrats are right to push all their cards and chips with the harris campaign? >> no, i don't. i think as exchanges like this show, she's not a great asset to the party. she is terrible at exchanges like the one we've just seen, she's horrible in a corner, whenever she's asked a difficult question, she has these very strange reactions, sort of things like at totally inappropriate times and i think the demonstration of the democrats are in trouble. what i worry about more is that america's allies worldwide see this sort of thing, and start to worry. now this administration was meant to be talking about building alliances, and rebuilding alliances as if donald trump had trashed them all, which he hadn't, and now we see just days after each other, we see what happened with america's allies in afghanistan. we see last week, democrats, members of harris' own party voted to defund the iron dome that is to defend a defensive weapons system and now, we see the vice president just sort of nodding along as very very ignorant american student, liable as an allie. people i speak to around the world including in recent days in israel, are concerned about this. they are concerned when they see people this trashing and allowing the trashing of american allies. brian: douglas that was one thing real quick, the term that general milley agreed with was damaged. talking about a relationship after afghanistan, what term would you use? >> yeah, damaged is the start of it. it's the soft version of it, but what we see , and i've said this a number of times in recent weeks, is we see the perspective of america in the world looking like it's not a particularly dangerous enemy to have and it's not a very good friend. that is more than dangerous. that's lethal. brian: exactly. douglas murray thanks so much appreciate it. >> it's a great pleasure. brian: five minutes now before the top of the hour, ainsley? ainsley: thanks brian from the start of the pandemic to social unrest on the street, and a heated presidential election, 2020 was a year like no other. brian: now a new book is attempting to make sense of the events last year with a so-called fictional account of the virus spreading from china and the division across the u.s. steve: the book is called "of course they knew" author john moody is also the former executive vice president and former executive editor for fox news, he joins us right now. john, good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. >> hey, steve great to see you again. steve: great to have you as well , okay so you look at 2020 with covid and the campaign , and the protest but you've turned, and we know a lot about all those things but you're making this a novel. is that so that you can figure out how to connect all of the dots? >> well, it's because i didn't know all the people involved by name. i had to makeup my characters but i superimposed them on top of real life events, the same stuff that you and i and everybody in this country went through, in 2020. it was a year unlike any other year, at least so far in this century, and i think a lot of people were confused and shocked and disenchanted so the book is a fictional attempt to make sense of 2020 and what it meant. ainsley: explain the title, because you left it ambiguous. >> well, there's nothing like a good ellipsis to start the day. it refers to china, of course, they knew what was going on in wuhan, they knew what they were doing, they knew it was a serious virus. the. dot allows readers to makeup their own minds about what else china was doing did they spread the virus intentionally, did they try to shift blame for it? well they did, one of the party- controlled newspapers actually said that the virus was created by the u.s. military and dropped from a low-flying military jet. now, i'm not an expert on military jets but i don't think many of them have been flying over wuhan at low altitudes recently. brian: so john, do you conclude that china did this on purpose or should, do you personally feel that way and if so, do you think that they're happy with the result? >> well, you know, whether they did it on purpose or whether it got out of their control, really doesn't matter. look how many millions of people died because of it. are they happy? well, their economy has rebound ed a whole lot faster than any other economy in the world. they seem to be calling shots on what the world health organization deems acceptable. the world health organization, you know, told us all that you can't call this the wuhan flu. you can't call this the china virus. you have to call it coronavirus or covid-19, something that won't offend anybody. steve: and john, how does, given the campaign and covid and the protest, all those things that actually happened, how does the mainstream media figure into telling the story? >> well, they have a starring role, steve. look, its just been mazing for me to watch from the sidelines, i'm not involved in the business, but it's amazing to watch how they rolled over and did whatever they were told to do. you know, the covid had to be called covid so that china wouldn't be offended. we had to be very gentle about how we referred to these protests and the election, of course, was all about we need change, we need a new president, we need something else, and the mainstream media just went into it full force. they wanted to be part of this whole process. ainsley: well john, we wish you the best with this book, congratulations. >> thanks very much. ainsley: you're welcome it's called "of course they knew" and it is available now. steve: speaking of now, right now, we start hour three of "fox & friends" for wednesday. >> top military leaders testify in afghanistan. >> three top generals say they told president biden leave 2,500 troops but the white house says that didn't happen. >> i've never seen a grand canyon size gulf between the commander and chief and this general. >> border patrol agents are being told to get their vaccine or lose their job. >> think about that. the people who have been busting their tails they are going to get fired meanwhile for people who break the law coming here no big deal. >> he believes he had an encounter with brian laundrie >> he kind of abruptly jumped into it with a comment about stupid southerners. >> making her gratitude known by writing over 4,000 thank you notes to police. >> i see how tough a job these officers have, and i want to let them know they have support out there. ainsley: the congressional baseball game returns to d.c. tonight. >> this event means so much to you, because june 2017. >> god's performed miracles that day and i'm lucky to be alive so i cherish everyday like this. >> ♪ brian: all right, everybody you're looking live at nashville right now. steve: the hall of fame. brian: yeah, the hall of fame, that city named after the coach years ago and they made it nashville. that is a pullout from our downstairs set. we're not there. that's a picture of the outside we just had, and then that's a pan up. and then we'll pan up to another camera and now that camera is going to swing around and eventually catch us. ainsley: there we go. steve: what's so interesting is brian pretty much exactly was verbatim with what our director mark was telling all the camera guys in their ears. ainsley: now, brian, show them what is over here. we call this -- steve: show what's over there. ainsley: he calls it the kilmeade corner. steve: he's got his coffee. brian: what i was trying to say is watch this. ainsley: look at all of these papers. brian: this is what i'm saying, since i'm here so much doing interviews can you name this spot in the set after me, a little plaque right here, so hegseth and will cain want to do an interview they have to say go to the kilmeade corner. steve: it's not a corner. ainsley: good point it's not a corner and you have a radio show brian: someone messed up my papers. ainsley: you have a tv show. someone, someone, you really need something else named after you? brian: all right ainsley: brian your son's named after you? brian: okay, wow so much resentment in ainsley. steve: as we just saw, this show runs on dunkin'. brian: absolutely. ainsley: at least it's not spilled over today. steve: here's the thing. the whole buildup, the reason we showed nashville, the hall of fame, was as a perfect transition, we got a little lost , into pete hegseth, whose live at the red neck river riveria because he's going to be on gutfeld tonight. gutfeld is live in nashville all week. pete, good morning to you and the folks at the bar on broadway pete: good morning. yes, we're all watching the train wreck that is the open of the 8:00 hour. >> [laughter] pete: as brian tries to, we're watching brian trying to rename portions of the studio after himself. brian if that's the case i'll give you kilmeade corner if you give me hegseth stairwell because i invented the stairway walk, as you know. steve: hold on, pete, you invented walking downstairs? brian: right? let me just say pete, can you see the monitor? this is what pete claims is his walk. this is my walk, pete. pete: oh, look. brian: i was walking down steps , next thing you know, i tune in on a saturday and pete is walking down steps, claiming it as his own. chris, who did this first? >> i believe it was you, brian. brian: thank you. chris, who i've never met personally, just said that i was the first to walk down the stairs. ainsley: didn't you learn it from steve, brian? steve: well, yeah. oh, well. brian: that's true. all right i'm going to go backup now. i invented walking up stairs. steve: it beats falling down stairs. pete: maybe that's the issue. brian: you perfected the walk. ainsley: [laughter] pete: i'll take an asterisk if i have to. you guys are out of control this morning i thought this crowd was out of control. >> [laughter] pete: apparently this is the show, this morning showing everyone studio f and naming corners. ainsley, you get the living room you should at least, it should at least be ainsley's living room but guys, we're here because gutfeld is here all week and we're going to have john rich in a moment we're at his bar without him yet because he's got a new primetime show on fox business and we just like to get out of new york city as much as possible. although, i'll toss it back to you, where you're having a lot of fun. by the way i've been working so hard i'll pass around the red neck tip bucket. i've been tap dancing all morning so if you have tips for me, folks, i'll take them. steve: right and having been there, the bucket is for the band, which starts playing i think at about 10:00 in the morning there. pete: yes, they do. they do. ainsley: the buckets at the bar and in church. it's the offering bucket. [laughter] brian: now to capitol hill, where top military generals will testify before house lawmakers today on the troop withdrawal from afghanistan. steve: after they revealed yesterday that president biden went against their expert advice to keep troops on the ground. ainsley: and peter doocy is live at the white house with a look at the senate hearing. reporter: good morning again, and these generals and the president are both saying two different things that can not both be true, at the same time. the generals are saying they recommended privately that president biden leave behind 2,500 americans in afghanistan, but the president says, that never happened. >> there was a range of viewpoints as was evidenced by their testimony today that were presented to the president, that were presented to his national security team, as be expected. as he asked for. reporter: but under oath, these generals are contradicting the president. >> i recommended that we maintain 2,500 troops in afghanistan. i also have a view that the withdrawal of those forces would lead to the collapse of the afghan military forces, and eventually, the afghan government. >> i am very much satisfied that we had a thorough policy review, all of the parties had an opportunity to provide input and that input was received. reporter: so they are giving a number, 2,500, but president biden says he doesn't remember that. >> no one told your military advisor did not tell you know we should just keep 2,500 troops its been a stable situation for the last several years we can do that and continue to do that. >> no one said that to me that i can recall. reporter: remember, president biden has defended the way that things went down in kabul, by saying that the pullout, whenever it happened, was never going to be pretty. back to you. steve: and peter, the president, you asked the president a question about whether or not he took responsibility for the americans who were killed over in kabul, and he essentially took responsibility but he also blamed somebody else , didn't he? >> yes, he blamed president trump for laying conditions and negotiations with the taliban last year that he thought did not, made it essentially impossible for things to go smoothly, but now, we know that the president was still seeking advice from his military general s, forget about this trump deal that was made. he was still seeking advice this year about what to do, and his generals were telling him what to do and the president didn't do it. steve: he was getting advice right through august. peter on the north lawn of the white house, thank you very much. ainsley: thank you, peter. brian: you saw senator sullivan yesterday say it's ridiculous to think that you could not reverse anything donald trump did, you had no problem with the paris climate accord, no problem reversing the iran deal but when it came to afghanistan, my hands are tied. no ones buying it. ainsley: and then jen psaki was asked about it well if the generals told him to keep troops in afghanistan, why did you pull them out, why did he pull them out and she said well we got advice from different people, and there were different advisor s split on this , so then the reporters pressed her and said which general told him to pull everyone out? and she didn't have an answer. steve: yup. unnamed generals. all right, but nonetheless it looks as if joe biden is not perhaps telling the truth regarding what went down. meanwhile, as we've been detailing, there are all sorts of restrictions here in new york city, on monday they started firing people who worked in hospitals who had not been vaccinated. new york city teachers have until friday to get vaccinated or to get fired. meanwhile, in the new york city police department, there is no vaccination mandate; however, the new york post has got a story this morning that the undercover cops, who don't get the shot, apparently are going to be demoted because when you're undercover, among other things, you need to set up sting s in restaurants and they can't send cops into restaurants who have not been vaccinated. ainsley: send in the ones that are vaccinated to the restaurant s and send the ones who aren't to other areas where you don't have to show a vaccine card. brian: or just let it go. they're the ones putting themselves in danger if they are in fact doing that they might have natural immunity but mayor mayor deblasio knows better. here is what they are saying, he's doing it because if they are going to setup cops they need a vaccination card to get into the restaurant and they don't have it. steve: right. brian: that's true most restaurants although a couple i've went in with have not asked steve: but the police department want knowingly send somebody who has not been vaccinated into essentially break the law. apparently one of the other things that is going on is they have threatened these particular officers, and i think there are 10 or 12, threatened them with administrative transfer, which essentially, according to the post, kills their careers because then, in new york, they will be known as a rat and nobody wants to work with them. so, they are being given an ultimatum. get the shot, or get demoted. we are seeing a lot of mandates here in new york city, and elsewhere, and, you know, your boss ultimately gets to decide the work requirements, and for these jobs now, the requirement is you got to get the jab. ainsley: there is a precious lady out in queens we talked to her earlier, her name is caretta james and she's a nanny here in new york to three little children. she's from antigua, moved here when she was 16 years old and she writes handwritten notes to all of the police officers, she's so far written 4,000 over the last few years and her goal is to reach all of the police officers, which is 36,000 in the area. so she goes to police precincts and writes these handwritten notes about 10 a day and she presents them at the desk and writes their rank and name on the outside of the envelope listen to her. >> i try to do at least maybe 10 cards a day. i put that they're somebody's somebody, because they are, that's somebody's husband, somebody's father, somebody's mother, somebody's wife, thank you for your service in the nypd it takes a special person to take a job but every time you put on your uniform you put your life at risk and you do this over and over again. as a civilian, i see how tough a job these officers have, and i do this to let them know they have support out there that not everybody is against you. brian: talking about against them, it's not just about new york, she's a sensational woman that's awesome she's doing that and the cops appreciate it. ainsley: she wants to take it nationwide now. steve: she would like to do it in washington and boston and philadelphia as well. brian: massachusetts is telling their state cops get vaccinated by next week or you're fired. some of them are resigning already. by the way by friday, teachers have to be all vaccinated or they're going to be told they're done. in two weeks, hospice and home care entities are all demanding that everyone get vaccinated, or they're done, and then you have countless hospitals from erie county to albany, new york, to long island, thousands of people will be getting fired from their jobs not eligible for unemployment because they don't want the mayor telling them what to do with their health. steve: the problem for them is they work for the government, and the government can essentially say that the vaccination is a condition of employment, according to the u.s. department of justice. brian: next thing they are mandating moisturizer and we'll have to use their moisturizer and we, just wait this is a slippery slope. ainsley: they make the little kids get it. brian: yeah next thing is your 5-year-old is eligible, you got one week to do it or the kid is suspended from school. ainsley: it's 8:13 and after the pandemic canceled the 2020 season congress is now ready to play ball. steve: that's right tonight democrats and republicans will go head-to-head just a couple of blocks to the east of the capitol, south of the capitol, in the annual congressional baseball game. brian: fox news headlines reporter 24/7 she never sleeps, carley shimkus is live at nationals park with florida congressman kat comic. reporter: that right i'm looking for a uniform hopefully i can suit up and play ball with them. >> we got your size and everything and your number on it already. reporter: but it was my idea first. so this is your first year in congress, your first year on the team. how was this experience been? >> this is the most incredible experience. not only are we out here playing for charity over $2 million raised, but you get to meet your colleagues in a different setting, and with covid, we didn't have the opportunity to do all the things that congress traditionally does, so you don't get to know each other's families, everything has been broken down and shutdown. so you can't do baseball virtual ly, so the best thing, the best advice that i got was from one of my colleagues, from trent kelly who said get out on the baseball field you'll make the best of friends and do the best networking and get the most work done. reporter: did you ever play softball or baseball before or is this a total totally new thing? >> i played sports in high school. i was basketball, volleyball, a little bit of softball, cheered in college. reporter: so you're athletic. >> natural athlete yet but this is a whole new level. [laughter] reporter: you guys take this seriously practicing since april every morning at 5 or 6:00 in the morning. >> i've been getting up at 4:30 every morning since april to do this but again it's for charity a great experience and where the real work gets done. reporter: all morning long we've been talking about what's going on in afghanistan and you told me something really interesting about what your office is doing right now. >> yeah, so since this debacle really unfolded we've been having 24 hour shifts for our team getting americans out of afghanistan and i'm proud of the fact our team has gotten 336 americans and allies out but last night i got a call and they said there's a flight with 50- plus americans, children, canadian citizens, and they're in the air, they cannot land, they are being denied any clearance to land in the united states, so we got on the phone, we're immediately in touch with the embassy making it happen, working with the faa, and we're going to get them home. reporter: where are those people right now? >> they are actually in the air right now. reporter: in the air? >> in the air, yes. so our team has worked through the night on the calls with operators, there's incredible groups that are working in this space, making sure our people come home, because we know this administration sure won't bring them home so we're doing the work that this president won't. reporter: you are certainly are and that's so important to get those people home and to safety. there was bipartisan outrage over afghanistan. there are a few things that are bipartisan in this world right now. this event is one of them though , so what is it going to be like to play against the democrats? >> i think with everything going on, how divided we are, covid kept us all separate, to bring us altogether, you're going to have 27,000 fans in the stadium, have the streamed live nationally. it's for charity. this is a great way for us to actually prove that at the end of the day, even though this game is about america versus socialism, and we're going to win in september, and then again, in november, there's a healthy rivalry and at the end of the day we're all americans. reporter: and it's a tradition that's been going on since 1909 over 100 years and now you are a part of it how cool is that? >> i'm pretty excited. reporter: sending it back to you guys. brian: i can't believe that plane is still in the air. that is the first we've heard of that. reporter: unbelievable. brian: it's breaking news. ask her, were they trying to land the plane? reporter: so brian wants to know , with the plane of you said 50 siv americans, canadians as well, were they trying to land the plane and they were rejected at the airport, no airport would take them? >> yeah, so they took off and had to go back to abu dhabi and land again and they said you guys can't stay here and so they are in a pickle. they have children, there's actual americans, blue passport- holding americans that are on this plane that got left behind and they have children with them, they have no resources, no nothing. it has been a true mess but this just one of dozens of rescue missions going on. like i said the administration has left so many people behind, we saw in the testimony yesterday in armed services that the leadership of the military disagreed and contradicted the biden administration. its just been a mess, and that's all the more reason why we need to take the house back in the mid-terms, take the senate back and ultimately the white house, because we're not republicans vs. democrats in this moment. americans are being left behind, and it doesn't matter what you have behind your name, we got to get that. reporter: that number is so high , 50 we keep hearing 100 americans are still left there. >> it's a lot. reporter: if there's a sizable number of those 50 people that are americans, like you said blue passport holders, that kind of proves that we don't really even know how many americans are left in afghanistan you're right >> absolutely there are thousands of people that have been left behind and this administration will not admit it. reporter: we know you're going to continue doing that good work getting people home and you're going to be out on the field tonight as well, you can catch the game, 7:05 eastern time, stream it live on fox nation. steve: all right, yup. 7:05 on fox nation. thank you very much carlie and congresswoman. on that plane, obviously, they aren't going to tell us where they're going to land, we hope tomorrow at this time, we're going to be able to reveal it, there are 80 green calendar holders, six americans and six people with special immigrant visas. ainsley: 59 children on the plane. steve: apparently reuters was told by the state department they have to verify the manifest and make sure the people on the manifest are not terrorists. brian: the people that gave you 800 people in a cargo jet are worried about people that have been screened by former navy seals who are on a plane. someone pat down that child. ainsley: at least they're safe out of afghanistan and at the ua e, hopefully we'll be able to get them out at some point an get those americans home. steve: she says they're in the air. brian: they're an annoyance to an administration whose proudly saying we got 90% of the people out. it's incredible. ainsley: they were originally supposed to land in queens at jfk, and then they diverted that to dulles, but then they were told they were revoked the landing rights were revoked so apparently now they are in the airheading here? steve: we don't know. brian: they can't stay. steve: it could be europe. they could be landing anywhere. brian: as long as they're on the ground in abbey dab it. the parents of a former marine in disbelief as their son is locked up for criticizing military leadership over the afghanistan withdrawal. >> and he is a very proud american, a very proud marine, a very principled man, and he stood his ground. ainsley: medal of honor recipient dakota meyer reacts next. oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? so you only pay for what you need. sorry? limu, you're an animal! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> the last 30 days our son has spoke his truth, and he is a very proud american, a very proud marine, a very principled man, and he stood his ground, and that's what the marines had taught him. >> he only spoke because what he saw happening and kabul, he couldn't take it. he had to speak out. he had to stand his ground. steve: and he did. there you have an emotional response from the parents of a former marine lt. colonel stuartanistan. this comes as top generals are set to testify again today, this time before house lawmakers on what went wrong over there. here to react fox news contributor and marine veteran and medal of honor recipient dakota meyer. dakota good morning. >> good morning. steve: so, they threw that lt. colonel in, the marines did, because they couldn't stop him from tweeting out why is this , why is the military supervisors, why are they not being held accountable for what went wrong? >> yeah, look. first off the military is a little bit different place to work and to be able to, freedom of speech in the military is always something that's back and forth of what that exactly means , right? i don't understand what grounds that the military has put him in in the brig for but this is what the military does. what it tells me though is that either that they're worried about what this guy is going to say. i just don't think that this is the right way to handle this. i think that look, this man wan
