>> much worse than you could ever imagine. this was going on for months. i talked to the people of del rio, i drove into mexico to talk to them, people coming here for months and months except only 100 or 200 at a time and they are released in the us, there was a line built between two trees and one side of the river to cross easily and it wasn't until tens of thousands of people, incredible application of duty by the administration. jillian: the border patrol agents have to be vaccinated by november or be fired, this is a whistleblower report coming out, and this is alarming because a lot of people are up in arms over the fact that migrants who are coming here illegally don't have to be vaccinated and some of them are released into the united states where american citizens have restrictions upon them. nurses and doctors getting fired if they don't want to get vaccinated. what do you make of what this whistleblower is saying? >> it is an assault on the border patrol and these people are overworked, victimized, you saw the administration latch onto this idea, the idea they have to get vaccinated yet tens of thousands of people coming across, and evidently the people i talked to in jewelry oh, a case of leprosy came across, people stationed for months in a park in our tuna, and border patrol agents, front lines in this invasion have freedoms taken away, it is crazy. jillian: can we handle having fewer border patrol agents? >> these people are so overwhelmed. i talked to people who worked in del rio who when the bridges closer to take 3 hours to get to work because the only way there was hours away. a lot of stations between mexico and the us weren't even manned. we can't afford to lose one single border patrol agent. we need many many more. we need backup. the us military should be providing aid and last thing we should do is anything that minimizes our border patrol is there. jillian: it to you 13 years to become a citizen. i imagine it was if not the, one of the promised moments of your life. what did the experience means you and how it is seeing what these border agents are dealing with and sounds and people who live there across these border towns what they are seeing right now. talk a little bit about that. >> we shouldn't have any debate about there's only one way to come to the us. a line, people need to wait in line. in my case it was 13 years. my mom convinced me, it was so - i read the declaration of independence, the federalist papers. jillian: well, we appreciate you joining us and sharing everything you saw at the border, senate candidate in ohio, thank you for joining us. todd: let's go live to the queen city of charlotte, north carolina. the people of cincinnati might beg to differ. jillian: janice dean is here with the fox weather forecast. did you hear the thunder boomers last night? >> janice: we had a cold front moved through, some areas got storms, lightning and thunder in my neighborhood was quite impressive and now we have cooler dryer air, 57 in new york, much cooler air moving into the northwest as well. there are some changes as we get into the fall season and the potential for not only cooler weather but rain and even mountain snow across the northwest. it is happening and there is the heavy rainfall, the front will stall and move slowly bringing potential for storms and heavy rainfall which could lead to flash flooding especially in texas so that is an area we have to watch. the rest of the country not bad in the northeast enjoying the taste of fall, 67 degrees, so great and we are watching hurricane sam, category 4 storm. it will stay away from the us. we have to keep a close watch because it comes pretty close over the next couple days especially this weekend and the high surf and the rip currents, my husband is excited about going surfing on the east coast but i'll is still him be careful because these systems come in and brings potential for good surf if you are a good surfer. he might be taking a few days off. todd: i will write him a note. time now 29 minutes after the hour, a big issue came up in the senate hearing, general milley's call's to china meant to de-escalate tension. want your clothes to smell freshly washed all day without heavy perfumes?

are we going to pull back from this or is it going to continue on and on until the military can't take it anymore? >> like so many institutions, corporate america, whatever aspects, is infected with leftism, woke - will with critical race theory, they call it diversity, equity and inclusion. as a lower ranking officer i saw the extent to which units, leaders, commanders are obsessed with sexual-harassment training, diversity training, inclusion training, you only have so much time for training and that inevitably takes away from focus on readiness. that term readiness, were fighting which is what the trump pentagon and defense department were focused on. once its tentacles get into an institution it is really really hard to push it out, you have to be very intentional about that. they wrap it in readiness, this will make us more inclusive and more capable of fighting as a cohesive unit when what it does is divide and distract you and based on the outcomes on the battlefield, heavily divided and distracted brass in washington in these types of woke perspectives and i can tell you having been there that distract the military as opposed to get it more ready to fight and win wars. jillian: you are in national teeth, you will have more coming up on "fox and friends," looking forward to seeing that, thanks for joining us. >> the wrong side of john rich's redneck riviera. i will see everybody on gutfeld tonight. todd: my guess is peace will have a cocktail. coming up, progressive democrats threatened to blow up negotiations on president biden's spending agenda so who is running the party?

>> well, i have never seen a grand canyon size gulf between the commander-in-chief and his generals as we are seeing unfold. i think you will see it today with the house armed services committee that just a quick review, we had biden say on national television he wasn't advised. nobody told him to leave troops. we now have the top three generals saying that they did. biden saying he has no problem with his allies. our credibility is fine. we have our generals saying no, it's damaged. biden saying the war is over. the generals are saying no, al-qaeda is still at war with us. and i think the biggest thing is biden standing before the nation and saying this was a huge success. record air lift. well, i can guarantee you the americans left behind that are still there don't think it's a success. and i was just yesterday dealing with an 80-year-old american couple who are still stuck there and we're trying to get out across a border. so, i don't know, again, if is he clueless, heartless, or what's going on in the white house, but we are going to continue to expose that time after time after time again he ignored military advice, he is ignoring congress. and he is ignoring the american people who do not think that this was the big resavings accounting success that he does. todd: congressman, in light answers that you heard yesterday, what questions do you want answered today? >> well, you know, i want to get to the bottom of this notion are over the horizon counter-terrorism. where does this leave us now? right? this notion without any bases in the region, none in any surrounding countries. none of those countries have agreed to host any of our bases, we closed down bagram air base. our local allies are being hunted down as we speak, and we now have a terrorist's worth, an army's worth of equipment with the terrorists. so, when future american soldiers have to go back again, to deal with this problem, they are going to have an absolute disaster on their hands. but, in the meantime, how do we keep the homeland safe without any of those tools? and i think this is nothing more than a talking point. we saw with the botched strike that killed ten civilians that you can't just do it with drones alone. and so, what is the administration going to do when al-qaeda isis and others, when that threat reporting begins rising and rising and rising how do we deal with it without any of those tools and without any boots on the ground? jillian: yeah, especially when the over the horizon takes hours in certain situations, you know, to be able to get there in the meantime great questions we can't wait to hear how they answer those today. we are reporting on fox news right now there is a whistleblower that says border agents need to be fully vaccinated by november 1st or lose their jobs. you couple that with the idea that you have migrants crossing the border into our country right now, not vaccinated, the administration not making them get vaccinated and some cases then they are released into our country, what do you make of this news? >> well, you know, you put this on top of the lies and they are -- they are just lies. there is no other way to describe it in terms of these agents whipping people and running over people on horseback which we have now seen not to be true, you know, at the end of the day, the white house and this administration is not supporting those brave men and women who are waking up every day to keep our communities and keep our borders safe. and, you know, they are putting the burden on them rather than on their policies disincentivize thousands of migrants, many of which have covid, none of which have been vaccinated, from coming across our border. and nothing seems to surprise me anymore with what this administration is willing to do or not willing to do in terms of securing our border. todd: it seems that whether you are talking about the rank and file in afghanistan or the rank and file on the border, our government these days really just likes to seem to stick it onto the brave men and women who do all the hard work and it just doesn't make a lick of sense. jillian: and, also, we are out of time, sir, also, you know, if there are border patrol agents that get fired as a result of this, can the rest of them handle this job that they are already having such a hard time doing with? we are out of time. thank you so much, congressman. thank you for joining us. >> same thing in hospitals and schools we are seeing in new york. todd: "fox & friends" now. ♪ ♪ >> i recommended that we maintain 2500 troops. >> your top military advisers wanted you to keep about 24500 troops. >> no they didn't. >> our son called for accountability. i don't feel like they accepted. for that, they should drop their rank and they he had should resign. >> press continue to ram through $3.5 trillion wish list. >> cost of the program is zero. >> i know none of us are mathematician but yes, are glory even "the washington post" called the zero dollar claim mythical. >>ing gabby petino's parents held a joint press conference. >>
