National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin starts us off from the pentagon. We saw in iraq what happened when the u. S. Declared a war over and pulled out troops leaving isis to grow e the u. S. Isnt done with afghanistan. As the taliban continue to Brandish American weapons captured from the Of A Dan Army when the government fell 17 days ago, those fighters expressed anger the u. S. Had disabled all of the military planes and helicopters at the airport before leaving. For the first time since Soldier'>The Last American Soldier left afghanistan, the Defense Secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs faced the press. They took just three questions. Including whether they might have to partner with the taliban in the future. I can tell you from perSonal experience that is a ruthless group from the past and whether or not they change remains to be seen. And as far as our dealings with them at that airfield in war you do what you most in order to reduce Risk Admission and force; not necessarily what you want to too. Coordination against isisk . ItS Possible. A stunning admission as all the are of the new relation on the ground in afghanistan and the absence of intelligence networks which had to be rolled up aS Part of the hasty u. S. Withdrawal. We shouldnt expect afghan War Veterans to agree any more than any other group of americans. Ive heard strong views from many sides in recent days. And thats vital. Thats democracy. Thats american. How we got to this moment in afghanistan will be analyzed and studied for years to come. And we, in the military, have approached this with humility, transparency and candor. Both were asked about lesSons learned over two decades at war how violently it ended with the deaths of 13 u. S. Service members. I wasnt born a four star general. I have walked the patrols and been blown up and Shot at and rbged and everything else. This is stuff stuff. War is hard. Its vicious, brutal, unforgiving. Im a professional Soldier. Im going to contain my Pain And Anger and continue to execute my mission. That mission is to get the remaining 100 or So americans out of afghanistan along with u. S. Allies. Something that the State Department is now the lead on. But its hard to imagine them getting very far without the Taliban And Delta force. Bret . Bret jen, there are these reports one from the bbc citing a former afghan Soldier, special Soldier-hiding'>Forces Soldier Hiding with his family and quoting here, he says since the taliban have come to power they havent stopped killing a few days ago they killed 12 members of the Special Forces in kandahar and two Soldiers in jalalabad as well. They were my close friends. Taliban took them out of their homes and Shot them in front of their families. I know we dont have specifics on this incident, but what are we hearing . Well, i have actually thants have come to my attention that i can confirm in terms of taliban fighters taking the phones of Some of those who are trying to escape over land, especially up to the north. And they if they find any american numbers on those phones, they will call them and then if Somebody answers, they will kill those people with the perSon on the other end of the line listening. So it is very dangerous right now. We know that theyre hunting female judges near the priSon where many of those isisk were released. And we know of many, many people in hiding tonight in afghanistan because the taliban are not keeping their word and Some of their fighters are already seeking retribution. Bret its amazing. We will follow it Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon. Thank you. There is increasing confusion really in afghanistan about who is in charge now that the taliban has taken over. That is affecting people trying to get out of the country. Meanwhile, the group continues to celebrate the withdrawal of u. S. Troops showing off u. S. PerSonnel u. S. Material, u. S. Weapons and u. S. Vehicles. Correspondent Trey Yingst has the latest tonight from doha, qatar. A helicopter flies overhead displaying a taliban flag.

Before the taliban came, Democracy Situation and selling goods although we were with the government at the time as well. Now, the situation is such that we have a lot of selling but there are no sales. Worried with economic hardship on the horizon and the brutality of the taliban, thousands are hoping to flee afghanistan on foot. Neighboring tajikistan haS Pledged to accept 100 refugees. Pakistan is Urge Population already tops 1. 4 million people. AS People continue to leave afghanistan, there are Reports Tonight of renewed fighting in the win severe valley. There are questions about whether or not President Biden asked his afghan counterpart to lie about how bad the situation was getting on the ground in afghanistan. More than a month ago. Right now as you heard there are still thousands of americans and afghans who helped The Americans throughout the 20 years of the war. Who do want to leave that country. White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has that part of the story tonight. Two days after troops left afghanistan, its still unclear if any more americans or afghans Left Behind have made it out. Is there a plan to do Something else So that that movement can pass it. Well, today is september 1st. We ended our presence in afghanistan yesterday or on the 31st in afghanistan. A key hurdle, getting the Kabul Airport operational again. But among those awaiting Safe Passage, journalists funded by the u. S. Government, reportedly turned away from the gates by american troops, preventing their rescue, senior State Department officials tell Fox Communications that were supposed to prioritize certain groups went viral. Was that a con ten gin is i that waS Planned for . Well, jackie, i think its important to remember, again, 120,000 people made it out of the airport and out of the country and our commitment to people who want to evacuate, want to leave, american citizens, journalists, afghan partners who have stood by our side, is enduring and remains. As the Talibans Promise of free passage iS Put to the test, President Biden met with ukrainian president Valentines Day have a Len Ski who like the former afghan president is many economic aid. According to riots afghan president ghani told Biden July it 3rd his country was facing full Scale Invasion and President Biden told ghani he needed to project an image of strength i need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of afghanistan, i believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the taliban. And there is a need whether it is true or not there is a need to project a different picture. Was the president in any way pushing a false narrative in that call with the afghan president. I think itS Pretty clear. Again, im not going to go into details of a private conversation. But, what We Saw over the course of the last few months is a collapse in leadership. What the president has conveyed repeatedly, privately and publicly, is you need to stand up and lead your country. The White House maintains Nobody Saw the Taliban Takeover Coming as quickly as it did. And while they would not comment on The Call, they said the reporting alSo illustrates that. But, at the very least, The Call shows President Biden was aware of the public perception that the taliban takeover could happen. Bret . Bret Jacqui Heinrich live on the north lawn. Thank you. Lets bring in Brit Hume to discuss what we are learning about President Biden during this crisis. Good evening, brit. For 30,000 feet here, what do you think this says about President Biden, his leadership, and where it goes from here . Well, bret, i think people have to begin now to assess whether thiS President was the man, the president they thought he was and would be after all this was the seaSoned Foreign Policy expert, former chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, a post he held twice. The kind of man they believed, i think, would not make serious Foreign Policy mistakes. And, yet, this is the first big foreign Policy Issue of hiS Presidency, the first big crisis, and the condemnation of it has been virtually unanimous across the board, including many democrats. Not to mention that it has gotten a level of criticism from the mainstream media one rarely sees directed at a democratic president. Not to mention the fact that the public can see with its own eyes all the things, nearly all those things that President Biden told us would not happen in afghanistan have now come to pass. Yes, inkeyed, it was a remarkable evacuation mission, a remarkable response to an emergency, but it was an emergency created by this administration in a way that it handled the evacuation. And we know now that the president repeatedly overruled his military advisers as to how to conduct this evacuation. So it seems to me that there is a real chance here that people are looking at thiS President in an telling new light and may not see him the same again. Bret you know, obviously, the focus is on The Americans on the ground, the afghan allies who worked with us trying to get those people out who want to get out. But, in the political sphere, a lot of timeS People talk about americans losing interest, turning the page, you know, closing the chapter, and moving on. Obviously the administration would like that to happen, is it going to happen with Something like afghanistan in this handling . Well, as long as there are americans there that want to get out and cannot or have not gotten out, and there are tales of atrocities by the taliban, which i expect will multiply inn the days ahead even such we dont have News Coverage coming out of there, word gets out. It would be hard for the issue to fade completely any time Soon, which is not to say that over time Peoples Memory of it wont fade, but they will, i think, remember for a very long time the shaky character who came out and made these bogus explanations of what was happening and why it happened, said things that were probably not true and was called on them. So the question comes, yes, people may stop thinking about afghanistan as such it really is a good question whether they will ever look at Joe Biden the same way again. Bret brit, as always, thank you. You bet. Bret the dow lost 48. The S P 500 up 1, the nasdaq gained 50 for another new record close.

Idahos Republican Governor is calling in 220 medical workers available through federal programs and mobilizing 150 Idaho National Guard Soldiers to deal with overwhelmed state hospitals. Governor brad little says the moves are a last ditch evident to avoid activating for the first time statewide crisis standards of care that could force medical professionals decide who lives and who dies.

Fox news chief legal Correspondent Anchor of Fox News at Night Shannon Bream joins us from New York with the latest. Good evening, shannon. Where does this request with the Supreme Court stand right now . Well, bret, its a bit of a wait and see at thiS Point. It is true inaction by the Supreme Court meaning it didnt issue anything in response to a request to block the law before it went into Effect Today means just that. Its now in effect. The initial request to block it went to justice alito, thats Solely based on geography. Can he decide this alone or refer it to the full court. He did ask the opposing side to file a response to the emergency request. They did that yesterday. Along with the final reply to the Abortion Clinics and groups seeking to block the law. So, those of us who watched the court thought hey there is a good chance we get an Order Or Decision before midnight last night. Both sides of the Abortion Debate are now standing by. What were seeing in texas is chaos. Texans are scared. We are seeing uptick in the number of pregnant women seeking assistance going to Source'>Pregnancy ReSource centers because Abortion Centers in texas have announced that they can no longer offer abortions after six weeks. So just because it didnt happen, us getting Something from the Supreme Court doesnt mean we might not still get Something from them, bret. Im grewed to my phone. Bret obviously, its controversial but what are the critics main objections to this bill and really what are the odds it survives legal scrutiny . Well it, bans most abortions in texas after six weeks. If this Enforcement Mechanism getting the real attention because it allows average private citizens to sue Abortion Providers or those who assist in an illegal abortion, they can recover a minimum of 10,000 in damageS Plus their attorneys fees. Private citizens enforce the law. The government has no role in enforcing it basically every Texas Citizen is now a private attorney general. President biden now says that the law he thinks is blatantly violating the constitution. He calls thiS Private Citizen Component of it outrageous. Its definitely unique. So well see how it stands up under scrutiny. Bret loot of prolife groups had been planning different aspects of this. How does it fit in with strategies a number of red states making a run at overturning roe v. Wade. States have passed laws that many elected officials are openly saying are specifically about trying to overturn roe v. Wade. Nearly all of them immediately entangled in legal proceedings and now everyone is watching and waiting for this case over Mississippis Law to be argued to the Supreme Court this fall. That Law Bans nearly all abortions in the state after 15 weeks. And no matter how the case is decided, its likely that the underlying issue for the most part is going to revert to the states. Many of them have already passed laws saying that the right to abortion is secured. Now, others have these Socalled Trigger Laws meaning it the if the actual underpinning of roe v. Wade is overturned, there will be no right to abortion in those states. This court, as we know, under the Guide Dance of chief justice John Roberts has been reticent to issue big sweeping decisions. I would expect most likely whatever comes down from that Mississippi Case could be very narrow, bret . Bret we will see. If you get a ruling before Fox News at night. See you then. I will let you know. Bret breaking tonight, a manhunt has concluded in North Carolina after a student was killed in a shooting at a High School in winston, salem.

Bret, good evening. We spent the better part of the day up in a black Hawk Helicopter with the u. S.

They plan on cutting Some of the levees to allow standing water to drain back into lake pontchartrain. South of New Orleans in la fit, they have decided to additional pumps and let gravity pull the water back into the gulf. One thing is clear when you see the damage by the air it is Sobering because you see stretches of hundreds and hundreds of miles that look like they have been wiped off the map along the Southeast louisiana coast. Row after row of home and businesses blown apart. Boats in streets, nearly every Power Or Communication line down and crumbled. It really puts it into perspective and the scope of this disaster, bret, and that the rover will take weeks, if not months or years. For Some people. Back to you. Bret quite a few.

Bret refugees from afghanistan are passing through the massive Military Complex in germany tonight. Senior foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg palkot reports from Ram Stein Air base. The flights out of kabul might be finished but the evacuation of Afghan Refugees continues through the major hub of Ram Stein Air base in germany. 15,000 are now here, grateful to be the of the clutches of the taliban in the wake of the u. S. Withdrawal concerned about those Left Behind. We had history with the taliban my whole family is there im worried about them a lot. Looking at the workforce evacuation. Massive c17 cargo plane. On average its been bringing out Something like 450 people, one flight the early days brought out over 800 in the latest 12 Hour Period 1800 people have come from other bases. After being checked out, they fly to the states, on chartered commercial flights. Its been pretty much nonstop. We have been running 24 hours every day of the week So far just getting as many people in and out of here as we possibly can. Have you ever handled this size of operation with So many moving parts. Ive never seen anything like this in my buyer life. Like the Service Members injured in last weeks terror attack, Some come back in bad shape. Thats when the military turned c17s into intensive care units. On board one mission to kabul, major Joshua Thomas he says they handle it all. From battle injuries, blast injuries, gunShot wounds, just regular medical illnesses. This week basically marks the end of the u. S. War in afghanistan. Some At Ramstein has been through this all. Despite the debate convinced they are doing the right thing. Was it all worth it. AbSolutely. All worth it. Yes. Thats what we do. Saving lives, thats what we do. Basically one officer at the base told us their part of the mission could go on for days. A lot of lives hanging in the balance. Bret . Bret Greg Palkot in germany. Greg, thanks. We are all going to pay for it, first of all, the people of afghanistan but we, too, because there is no question that was no withstanding all the sweet talk from Some of the taliban leaders, thats not who they are. They are radical islamist Terror Group and welcome other radical Islamist Terrorist Group afghanistan who will aim to strike us from there as alqaeda did on 9 11. I mean, its just tragic and totally unnecessary. Bret former democratic Vice President ial nominee, former Senator Joe Lieberman talking about the situation now in afghanistan. Lets bring in our panel, mollie hemway, Senior Editor at the federalist. Leslie marshall, democratic Strategist And Bill Mcgurn Columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Bill, let me start with you your thought the Wall Street Journal had a really scathing Editorial Today about the situation, but a lot of lawmakers on Capitol Hill on both sides of the aisle have been very critical of this messaging and action. Yeah, i think its not just the messaging, its the relate. We just surrendered 9 11 forever to the islamic jihadist. It is now a double Victory Celebration for. They first, the original Alqaeda Strike on america and second the taliban victory that we see right now in kabul. You know, it just seems to me we are back to that pre9 11 thinking. Remember when people used to say alqaeda was at war with us long before we were at war with alqaeda. And i think Joe Bidens spin that Somehow the world watches the spectacle of us leaving fellow americans Behind Enemy Lines and concludes that america has greater reSolve and greater capabilities going forward is just farcical. Bret leslie, the State Department conceding today that most of the sivs, most of the afghans who helped the u. S. In the war actually did not get out and the numbers are pretty staggering. Here is the State Department on the Safe Passage that they are trying to coordinate right now. We are looking at all possible options, air routes, land routes, to continue to find ways for them to help evacuate and to support them to contain to who precisely wants to leave. Who dependent families are what routes may or may not feel comfortable to them. Half the worlds countries, all of the most important stakeholders have signed on to the idea that the taliban must uphold their commitment of Safe Passage. Bret its just tough to believe that thats going to be smooth sailing with the taliban knowing their history, leslie. Well, if we just look at what is happening with the taliban, you know, bret, i think i mentioned in i dont know podcast. The problem here is not only are they uneducated group of men that run the taliban, but the taliban is used to running a terrorist organization. And running a country is very different. They could be without food in a couple of weeks. They dont have air traffic control. They have people landing right now as we speak from qatar to try and handle that So they can open commercial airways in two days and hopefully more people, including those afghans that assisted us here in the united states and abroad can get out. Look, left and right, i have said it before, we should have started this earlier. We should not leave until everyone that we can help is out, is out. But we alSo do have to look at other realities the State Department since april gave numerous warnings. You know, over a dozen warnings to americans to get out and in addition to that everyone knew the taliban was going to be in power quite frankly. And i think its, you know, the united states and all of our allies, especially the united states the former administration, the former secretary of State Pompeo sat down with the taliban. Not with the president of afghanistan. They knew who was going to be the new sheriff in town, sadly. So, its messy right now. I certainly hope and pray that wont be the case going forward. And one last thing, even though we Cant Trust them, bret, no question. They need money from us and from others. And if we say we want a and then you get b, they might be out to do it. Bret they have hosted radical islamic terrorists they say they are fighting isisk. Its really a witches brew there mollie. How about who knew what went and this leaked reuters report the transcript from this call between President Biden and the afghan president ghani . Yeah, we impeached a president for a Phone Call and now we have this leak of Phone Call that President Biden had where he asked Someone to lie, in exchange for military support. It Sounds like Something that last year would have caused major problems for the previouS President. I think we cannot lose sight of how we can never fight a war like this ever again. There was a Pugh Poll last week that showed that americans are broadly supportive of the departure from afghanistan. Thats the Trump Policy that biden supported. They have even more agreement that the manner in which we fought this war was a failure. You dont see people talking about World War ii the way we talk about this war. This war has been prosecuted poorly, according to the american people for decades. And then there is even more agreement that the manner in which biden departed was a complete debacle. Thats not really up for debate. It was a debacle. It was a national humiliation and disgrace. The proper response to that is to clean out our military like we did after Bay Of Pigs and make sure that people are replaced with people who know how to do their jobs. Unfortunately, the current president who was involved in thiS Phone call is incompetent and unable to replace the Military Leadership who failed. So it remains to the american people in their elections to replace him and the woke generals who cannot do basic jobs like winning wars or exiting a country. Bret all right. Strong letter to follow.

Wade five decades ago and to call for the codeification of roe. Bret Jen Psaki following up talking about this texas Abortion Law in effect. The president put out a Statement Today says this extreme Texas Law blatantly violates the constitutional right established under roe v. Wade and upheld aS Precedent for nearly half a century. Outrageously it deputizeS Private citizens to bring lawsuits against anyone who they believe has helped another perSon get an abortion, which might even include family members, healthcare workers, front Desk Staff at a Healthcare Clinic or strangers with no connection to the individual. In fact, if you look at the bullet points, that is accurate. The state doesnt enforce It Citizens can sue providers and anyone involved in aiding or abetting an abortion after Heart Beat is detected and, again, six weeks here. Citizen plaintiffs are entitled to 10,000 plus legal fees if they win. Were back with the panel. Bill, this seems designed to be part of the challenge to roe Supreme Court. Yes, it iS Part it is a challenge like many challenges. To the Supreme Court. And but it poses a lot of legal questions on procedural ground that havent been out courts before. And, again, the prochoice side is trying to get the court, thats their favorite legislature, just to dismiss it early on. They may still do it. If they were going to do it you would have thought it would have went into effect before today. Im hoping that both a moral and constitutional victory if we get this back to the states if we want to codify roe, let the states do it as New York has done it. The existing regime is just out of touch with the american people. The american people want limits. The democratic party has been able to oppose those limits because its been done So undemocratically. Im with justice scalia. The Supreme Court has no Business Umpiring the Abortion Business and they should get out of it we would be a lot healthier and return that debate to the states where it belongs. Bret leslie it, seems like this administration would want to go through congress to codify roe. But there is no way the numbers are anywhere close to being there. No, but whats really concerning here, bret, is, you know, not only the constitutional violation of the rights of anyone with a uterus in the state of texas, but when you just look deeper at this law, if you are a 13yearold Rape Victim and you dont realize you are pregnant because you dont have a regular Menstrual Cycle and you come in after six weeks, youre going to be forced to carry that child, speaking of rape, a rapist could actually sue their victim and get 10,000 if they feel that individual is trying to abort that child outside the six week limit. And to billS Point, you know, the american people are not looking for a six week limit on abortion. When you look at the majority of polls out there, the majority of people in the united states support roe v. Wade, and even if they call themselveS Prolife support a womans right to choose. Most americans dont want myself included longterm abortions, six weeks is not late term. Bret mollie . Yeah, this the Texas Legislature passed this law that protects children who have a detectable Heart Beat. And this is important that this is allowed to stand even this long because thats what roe v. Wade took away from people was the right of people to determine their own view what the State Law should be on abortion. But the Supreme Court has a history of having had bad decisions. Roe v. Wade is just one of the noteworthy bad decisions that takes an entire class of humans and dehumanizes them. And So it is incumbent upon the court to correct mistakes like that like they did after the dred Scott Decision or Car Mats Sue and roe v. Wade. And they have an excellent opportunity with this case that has risen to the Supreme Court level with dodd to correct. We have radical abortion. It is violent oppression of women and children and predatory and not what humans should do to each other. We have the opportunity to allow it to come back to the states where people can set appropriate limits and protect these unborn children and their mothers. Bret breath we will see what the court does. We will be following it. It could happen tonight. ThankS Panel. When we come back. More with the possible on tomorrows Headlines Energy is everywhere.

Now tonight, Joe Biden remains on the defensive, remains defiant and remains delusional amid a series of self inflicted egregious decisions that are leaving our nation less safe and putting america in retreat and on the decline.
