islamic republic or islamists. they re locking down the border. think isis in syria. isis started as a result of the syrian revolution under assad but then they got a strong hold in iraq as they crossed the border, took advantage of vacuums created in both syria and iraq. the same thing here, what pakistan is worried about they had a deal with the devil working with radical islamists of the taliban for some time but now that could sort of destablize their country because the taliban sees their surge, they will want to push back against that surge. pete: turn back against pakistan. no way you can classify pakistan as a friend of the united states when they kept the border open to enable terror groups to go back and forth when we were there. once the taliban takes control they lock the border down? by the way, here is a quote from a pakistani food stall owner on afghan refugees. we have refugees flooding the airport trying to get out of that country. here is what seeing on the
bombing at the gate. that is why they closed it yesterday. isis would love to sow more uncertainty on the ground. taliban know they have leverage with a biden administration, so how do they use it. you re right there will be an inflection point. white house will say are we staying or more troops? nothing will fix the situation at all. will: i want to get to sound from former president donald trump. i would assume, correct me if i m wrong, on brightside the taliban has no capabilities maintaining or flying helicopters. not right now. pete: russians and chinese do. they have the ability to sell them and bring if expertise to use how to learn them or fly them. will: president trump spoke last night. this is one of the greatest defeat in american history. this will go down as one of the great military defeats of all time. it did not have to happen that way. this is not a withdrawal.
physical violence has occurred. reporter: add that to the new threat of isis branch in afghanistan. afghanistan known to house al qaeda. isis a rival terror organization has a footprint in the country. there are reports this morning that the biden administration is weighing airstrikes on some of our equipment that the taliban seized, trying to use against us. meanwhile the president himself canceled his planned weekend getaway to his home in wilmington, delaware. he opted to stay at the white house this weekend to get updated briefings from his national security team. he will get an updated briefing today on the situation in afghanistan. given an updated message to the american people. the president is also touting a possible way to compel commercial airlines, we re hearing that commercial airlines may go in, swoop down and rescue some of those folks in afghanistan, take them out to various cities across the country. also vice president kamala
get there, feckless president not doing anything about it, more desperation, i m afraid we ll sit here next weekend with even further deteriorating situation with hostages, potential hostages in the future. if you re sitting in the white house right now you re looking at the options in front of you doing what we re doing now is not working and untenable. rachel: isis apparently is a concern. they re worried people are funneled to the airport, only one way to get there. they re like sitting ducks, a perfect target for a terrorist attack. meanwhile kamala harris is on the way to southeast asia to visit singapore. the president will only can he will the trip, he was shamed into it. president trump last night at the rally said he was going on vacation while afghanistan was going to hell. will: kamala harris tweeted on the way to southeast asia to visit singapore and vietnam. to your point, pete, i don t
preparations. if you re in the rhode island area, connecticut, you may still have some time to get some sandbags set up. really we re watching henri start to move onshore later this morning through the afternoon. we ll be here at smith point beach to talk about that. but the main story this morning is the rough surf you see behind me. it is starting to build. we could see some of that flooding later on today. we ll have more for you throughout the day on this coverage. for now we send it back to you in the studio. pete: fox weather steve bender. thank you so much for the report. we appreciate it. stay dry. another fox news alert as well. chaos in kabul. nato says, this is new information, at least 20 people have died around the airport in the last week. british officials say seven people were killed in the crowds. it comes as americans are being told now with a new update to stay away from the airport due to a threat from isis. one refugee that did escape, delivering a baby as she r
