with a judge jeanine pirro, jessica tarlov, jesse watters, and she needs a stepladder to high five a keebler elf, dana perino, the five!a a major standoff at the bordernr is underway right now, texas trading barbs with the federalla government, over literal barbs, and democrats now on joe biden to seize texas troops to sort it all out. governor greg abbott pledging to wrap the board with more razor wire as the supreme court gave biden the go-ahead to remove it. avid argues it s his statespr icright to employ the prickly barriers, where he accused him of violating his oath. speak of the biden administration has realldminy ty abdicated its responsibility to secure the border and enforce the laws, texas very simply is c securing the border. and so we put up the razor wiree you are talking about, build, and put up all of these barricades that actually have denied illegal entry, and as you pointed out, they are our triples across the border. texas has a right as a state to stop c
year. tropical storm warnings up for parts of texas. we re going to see some heavy rainfall in certain parts. we re going to tell you where and what that means for drought conditions. and a massive fire erupts at a boat yard in massachusetts. what we re learning about the fire and the damage that s been done. welcome to your weekend, saturday, august 20th. we re grateful to have you. thanks so much for waking up with us. great to be with you, amara. i can t believe it s august 20th. i wait for the weekends to know what the date is. i m realizing, oh my gosh, we re close to september. that s good. cooler weather, please. we were just talking about that, yes. it s almost halloween. good to be with you, boris. of course. we have a lot of news going on. we begin with the intense situation surrounding the z zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. that lies on the front lines of russia s war against ukraine. the fighting around the area have intensified so have concerns abo
house republicans need to grow a backbone and do something about this. jesse: thank you. i was brutally attacked by a german shepherd and that is why i developed a fear of dogs. it was not until i got my many poodle that i warmed up to dogs. now, standing and broadcasting next to what looked to be a vicious and ruthless bloodthirsty german shepherd, i remain calm. i want to give myself a pat on the back for facing down my fears of german shepherds. let s do texts. frank, bomb hits and fake calls. is biden s team working out of a frat house? white house dog bites, that is
why do you say that? well, i believe that s the case because of the type of protections that the zaporizhzhia plant has and also these protections include such things as hardening of the reactor, vessel support of the reactor, they re actually hardened against direct bomb hits, things of that nature. also, the type of accident that happened at chernobyl was vastly different from the type that would probably occur at zaporizhzhia if it unfortunately the facility were hit. fukushima was the kind of disaster where it basically ended up with the cutting of the pipes to the cooling vessels. and that s the kind of thing that could potentially happen in zaporizhzhia. so that s something that you really have to be very careful of and hopefully neither type of event will occur. but it s something we have to be prepared for. yeah, absolutely.
this area is ukraine s second largest city. and you note that right now we have russian forces north, northwest and northeast of kharkiv. well, this is the area where we have actually seen the tos-1 flamethrower. it is a thermobaric bomb, that will suck out the air of the target they re going after. if you are going after a particular placement of troops, the bomb hits, takes the air out of the khroeed area they re in. that is one of the biggest problems that ukrainian forces have is bombs like that. and what happens to those troops? . they die, unfortunately. it is very hard to survive something like that. gas masks really don t protect you. it is one of the worst forms of combat weapon that we ve seen. in fact, they re illegal under the geneva convention. it is barbaric.
