will not stay on as conservator. >> this is a substantial step toward her freedom. >> greg steube with the first swing. it's going to be a home run. the republicans win it 13-12 as they it mob each other around the pitcher's mound ♪ nothing's ever going to keep you down. >> we're the best around. >> no one will ever keep you down. brian: all right. i'm a little con fouseed because i hear greg steube was not only a standout but hit it out of the park. was it out of the stadium. brian: out of national park? ainsley: great pitcher and hitter. the republicans won, brian. steve: 13-12. greg steube, that's him, is he a republican from the great state of florida. and he just hit the first out of the park home run in congressional baseball history. but, here's the thing. they played in other stadiums in other arenas before. they have never been in a major league ballpark until yesterday. he got a bona fide major league home run. and the republicans win 13-12. it's their third win in 13 years. ainsley: joe biden made a surprise appearance. steve: he did. ainsley: democrats were shouting we love joe build back better. on the republican side of the stadium he got a lot of boos. brian: that's called every day in america. there you go. he showed up a lot of people say last night the word is that president biden had left the caravan was going somewhere. no one knew exactly where he was going. and it's amazing because joe biden stayed home. was supposed to go to chicago. he was worried about pending bills. he thought he would do personal diplomacy i'm not sure how much success he got. seeing greg steube hit that home run it reminded me of cheers. do you remember when sam malone was asked to be. steve: there is when the president came out. brian: right. can we hear? let's hear. steve: there is the boos. [cheers and boos] ainsley: democrats love him. steve: crowd on the first base side. the president came out in the second inning and went down to the democrat dugout. spent a little time there shook a bunch of hand. then he walked across the field over to the republicans as well. and he actually did see, i think, greg steube go yard into the left field. brian: also it's interesting the tradition goes back quickly when you get on the field the president should kiss the speaker that goes back generations. ainsley: why did this remind you of cheers? brian: sam malone was asked to join a corporation to be on the softball team they wanted to bring championships. wait a second, you don't want me for my mind? you want me just to play in the softball game he? ended going back to the bar. because he wanted people that wanted him there legitimately. and maybe greg steube is getting elected just to win the congressional softball game -- baseball game. steve: i don't think that's why the people of that district in florida put him. brian: i'm going to put a reporter on it. steve: however, the democrats did lose their star pitcher. cedric richmond has been their pitcher for a very long time and always won the game. now is he working at the white house so he was not in the game. when it comes down to and, brian, you were talking about how joe biden probably showed up to do a little hand shaking and say hey, can i get your vote later tomorrow, nancy pelosi has said she is going to bring up that $1.2 trillion infrastructure. that is hacking off the progressives. the progressives in the house say you have got to vote on the 3.5 trillion before the 1.2 trillion. and now boston of the progressives are saying we're not going to vote for the 1.2 trillion so that's going to die. however, she has about two dozen republicans are going to join the democrats in voting for this infrastructure bill but it's going it be close. and nancy pelosi may not actually have the vote today. ainsley: they have to raise the debt ceiling before the middle of october. then today they have to vote to make sure the government doesn't shut down. steve: at midnight. ainsley: schumer says they are going to vote this morning. progressives say they are not going to vote for that, more than $1 trillion infrastructure bill. they are not going to give that to the republicans because they are not getting their 3.5. steve: republicans are not going to vote to raise the debt ceiling. they are going to say, look, you want more money, you do it on your own. brian: so here we have kyrsten sinema and senator joe manchin said we are in no rush to pass the 3.5 trillion. it's too big anyway. what the moderates were promised in the house was nancy pelosi, i just want -- i will vote -- i will gain the 3.5 promise me by september 27th you will put up the bipartisan bill that the senate passed with 19 republican votes. she said okay. well, the 27th came and went. they were not ready i'm not going to put a bill up that's going to fail. today is the day they extended it to. so the question is if you just promise the democrats the left wing, the squad that you are going to have the outline of a 3.5 bernie sanders bill, maybe we can go into the guise of voting for it because the outline is there for 3.5. but basically said no. and excerpt from a lengthy statement he said this yesterday spending trillions more on new and expanding government programs when we can't even pay for the essential social programs like social security and medicare is the definition of fiscal insanity. i cannot and will not support trillions in spending or an all or nothing approach that ignores brutal fiscal reality or nation faces. so how can bernie sanders others oi will not vote for this without that. they cannot vote. that means 45 democrats are out. ainsley: joe manchin said we spent 4.5 trillion since march and you want to spend another 3.5? if you have to have yourselves on both sides of the aisle how much is enough? we spent so much we can't afford after spending so much social security and medicare. brian up by a lot of that money is not out the door a lot of that money has been set and they want more we don't have. ainsley: spending and hikes to businesses as well. because they want to raise the corporation tax. steve: inflation is a big problem. we are going to have a story later on dollar tree is now going to charge more than a dollar because of inflation and shipping and things like that. then you have got all this going on. we know there is a lot -- there is a debt ceiling. there is the funding the government. there is the 1.2 trillion. there is the 3.5 trillion. those are four different pieces of business. the only thing that is going to pass is today they are going to extend -- they are going to go ahead and fund the government for a little while longer. brian: with our money. >> steve: all the rest is going to, you know, there is a civil war inside the democratic party. you have got aoc saying i'm not going to vote for that 1.2 trillion thick. she is a genius. she is the same person who said i don't think amazon should go ahead and build in new york city and create 25,000 jobs. right? brian: mark levin says last night look out though manchin and others might be ready to cave for less and make it seem like they look like the level head in the room but they could still be looking to pass a trillion on the side. listen to what he worries about. >> if the lie is that this isn't going to cost us anything, it's all paid for, why is there even a debate about raising the debt ceiling? the democrats want to put in place the most massive social engineering and welfare state in world history. they want to turn your lives inside out and upside down. they want to travel draw all concentration of power from you, your family, your faith, your county, your state into washington, d.c. so what are they going to do? i think they will agree to lower the amount but they will still have all this stuff in this 500 page bill. so that they can enshrine and put in place these things. they don't really care about the debt. so, people like manchin and perhaps sinema can say see, we lowered the amount of money. i hope that doesn't happen but we will see. steve: there was one other bit of bad news for the democrats yesterday. that is the senate -- the senate parliamentarian, once again, said no, you cannot put immigration into a reconciliation bill. they can only be -- you can't put policy in a budget thing. so, for the second time, they got a no on that. they were trying to wedge that into the 3.5 trillion. brian: joe biden did all this personal diplomacy yesterday sinema manchin twice. nancy pelosi again. dozen much lawmakers. so far according to a "the washington post"-"new york times" all the friendly publications he doesn't see much progress. so much on the line. democrat, i don't know if they can fully understand how dead the next three years are if they can't get something done in the next three days. ainsley: i can't believe he is saying it's zero. it costs zero. as you said yesterday $3.5 trillion. steve: costs. ainsley: cost 3-s $.5 trillion. steve: yesterday, nancy pelosi got on that bandwagon and said it's zero. it's not zero. anyway, it is exactly 6:10 here in the east. thanks for joining us on this thursday. this is the final day of september by the way. october starts tomorrow. meanwhile the military's top brass making stunning admissions of failure in afghanistan. did you see this?

and so what the pentagon did yesterday was classic washington, d.c. something they do there. and that is they passed the buck. they said, look, we told them it was going to be a problem. we laid all the cards on the table. but you got to blame the state department. ainsley: to generals were grilled for a second day in a row and lloyd austin. here is a little bit of what you missed yesterday. >> the war was a strategic failure. it came, also, at appear incredible cost in the end with 11 marines, one soldier and a navy corpsman, these 13 gave their lives for the people they never met to have an opportunity to live in freedom. and we must remember that the taliban was and remains a terrorist organization and they still have not broken with al-qaeda. i have no allusions who we are dealing with. >> on the issue of why we didn't bring out civilians and sieves d sivs sooner again the call on when to do it is really a state department call. we provided our input and we would have liked to have seen it go faster or sooner but, again, they had a number of things to think through as well. steve: don't blame us blame foggy bottom. ainsley: is it really the state department's fault? wouldn't it be the commander-in-chief? he is the one who made the decisions. they had all these recommendations from him. steve: absolutely. the buck stops there. brian: pretty amazing senator blumenthal as lefty as can be as a democrat, he says his congressional office is basically a clearing house like congressman waltz's office like so many others to get these people out. they are dealing with it. so when they call the white house, there is nobody in charge of getting the american people out. our allies out. our green card holders out. and human that was saying we are just asking for some type of evacuation czar but he says there is nobody in charge. this is a democrat. senator kaine a democrat. so for you to sit there and say we lost the war as if had you nothing to do with it is inexcusable. number two the state department says it's their fault. okay. how could you not lean on the state department to come up with a plan? do you just sit there in your cave and say this is my job? i don't care what happens? nobody is in control. here is what the general, something else came out yesterday. that story 100 percent true that the butcher, the nickname he embraces, called up the commander in charge, mackenzie because they have been dealing with each other in doha and said the sitting government has left. the ministries are being stripped. we are going to take kabul unless you are taking kabul. he said it didn't seem like a former offer so i said i just wanted the airport. so you gave away the city. so the follow up question was to paraphrase. he said we did not have enough forces to take it you got 5,000 there in a week. you were priding yourself on contingency operations. if you can get 5800, you never lost a single battle with a taliban face to face in 20 years. steve: right. brian: you think that you couldn't get another 5,000 to secure the perimeter to prevent an airport from being guarded by the taliban and the guy in charge was known as the man in charge of suicide bombers case in point, a suicide bomber blew up that gate that killed 1 americans and wound 18 more do you hear what was going on yesterday? i know you are busy and have got a job. some of the interactions were so unacceptable from our men in brass especially when you consider who is in jail right now. steve: can. steve: when you look at the arc of testimony. we told the president to leave a residual force of 2500 people there. go slow. but the president even when he was vice president, he was hell bent on getting us out. he wanted to be the guy even though it was going to be messy was going to be the guy who get us out and end the never ending war. so, you know, he is the one who said okay let's do that ultimately he is the commander-in-chief. it rests on him. i heard those guys say, look, we gave him the advice but he's the boss so we figured out how to do it as cleanly as possible. unfortunately as we just heard, 1 americans dead. ainsley: that's right. three other takeaways that i got from it. general milley said he is worried about what happens in the future because he says this will invigorate extremists all around the world and emboldens the radical jihad movement globally. he described the evacuations as chaotic and congressman mike rogers was talking about the president. remember the president when the war was over the president said this afghanistan war was a success? he says it was an extraordinary -- the president says it's an extraordinary success. it was an extraordinary disaster. one of the greatest failures of american leadership and we have lost trust in biden's foreign policy. brian: lost the war in 2014 barack obama's administration said we are moving from an offensive situation to a defensive support role. you can't lose the war when you say in 2014 it was a support role. you chose to leaf that support role even though strategically, keeping bagram and six or seven of the other bases would have been in our interest to not only watch the terrorists but to keep an eye on china, russia, and iran. if you explained that to the american people, that it's not an endless war, but it's a tactical advantage to be there, we get it we got the competency in 2001. ainsley: they are executing, amputating, and who knows if they are come here next. we have our southern border completely open. steve: still people stuck over there yesterday, during the program we told you how there was a whole plane full of people, afghans. we had some americans on that kat cammack the congressman woman from will taken off the plane has taken united arab emirates and heading toward chicago. ainsley: they are working around the clock to verify the will manifest. brian: voice mail when we call. steve: 6:22 now here in the east. now for the hunt brian laundrie on the run. he is wanted in the gabby petino case. ainsley: get this? laundrie was reportedly seen by a burner phone from the florida store the day his parents claimed to have last seen him. brian: outside the laundrie home as the search heats up. phil? >> keep in mind, the attorney hired by the laundrie family does say that that phone two weeks ago when his mother said he left to go on a hike and never returned. is he apted fugitive despite searching and searching and searching his whereabouts remain a mystery. 75 miles away from here it for the da society that park is where the laundrie family went missing three weeks ago. this is after brian laundrie returned home alone without his fiancee gabby petino. the family attorney says all three went there together and all three left together. park records show roberta laundrie the mother signed the camp site reservation. volunteers are in various locations on the hunt for laundrie. of course, the fbi is leading this investigation. wednesday afternoon a private canine team went out on a boat to get to one of the small islands at for the. looking for any evidence to anything about brian laundrie. also there dog the bounty hunter. >> these dogs are incredible. they went through all of this. took me an hour to go through it. took that dog 5 minutes. we are on the hunt. i feel real good about it. >> laundrie is a person of interest in the disappearance and death of his long-time girlfriend gabby petino. the 22-year-old's body was found at the bridgerton teton national forest in wyoming 11 days ago. ruled a homicide without the corner specifying exactly how she was killed. more than 1,000 people showed up for her memorial service sunday in new york. many from out of town who never even knew her. this mysterious tragedy has gripped some people around the country and even the world. here at the laundrie house, there are multiple bouquets of flowers that have been delivered to the front door over the past several days. and almost all of them, the cards it that was in the flowers battery name of gabby. back to you guys in new york. ainsley: people are sending flowers addressed to gabby to the laundrie home?

>> it bothers me because it doesn't surprise me. this is the exact war plans that that they are proposing will replace having people like myself and those a lot smarter and courageous than i ever was there on the ground gathering intelligence, keeping us safe. listen, when president trump was president and he said he was going to pull the troops out of afghanistan, i took that the same way i took every time president trump went to the bully pulpit and made these big declarations. it was a challenge to our military leaders to do better. when he said we're going to pull out by may 1st. i never believed we were pulling out by may 1st. i believed that was a timeline put in place to spur action in our military industrial complex to not think they could just push him over like the previous presidents. and i still feel that way. brian: yeah. i want to talk more about this but i do want to get to this story, too. yesterday, and thankfully there is blow back on every side. the "new york times" thought what great time to offer some suggestions to redesign the american flag that really hasn't changed in design for 100 years. but, we have added a few stars here and there. so, take a look as we weave through the options and what they mean. does anything to you scream we need to do this? >> listen, they're going to attack everything about the fabric of this country. and they are certainly going to attack everything that makes us unify around who we're and our social imaginary, our national identity because they want to change that and if they can shift that conversation to something arbitrary in their minds like a flag, then we won't pay attention to the actual changes they are making in our schools and how we allow the government to tell us what to do with our bodies and things of that nature. this is a deflect maneuver, no. we have got a flag. i love our flag. and don't you try to change it. brian: let's hope. we don't try to do it. people also trigger now because donald trump. >> they're ugly as sin. they are an ugly design. brian: absolutely. thanks so much, joey, i will talk to you soon. >> thank you. brian: meanwhile, check in with senior meteorologist janice dean. i need to know the weather. janice: america needs to know the weather, brian. brian: thank you. janice: take a look. nice here in the northeast and nice the next couple of days fall like temperatures 59 right now, 55 in boston. cooler air moving into the northeast and the west. between that, we have the warmer air and a front that's going to stall out to bring the potential for showers and thunderstorms and some heavy downpours across portions of the southern plains all the way up towards the great lakes. flash flooding is my big e. concern here. we could see some stronger storms as well. but, when you have a stalled out front, that's never good news. it just kind of gets backed up and we could see the potential for that heavy rainfall. know what to do if there is a watch or warning in your neighborhood. and right on cue, the jack hammers. back to you, brian. brian: fantastic. ainsley: what did he say 70% chance of rain and 100 percent chance of jack hammers. brian: exactly. i can't believe we are stuck with a jack hammer. no one came up with something different? right? ainsley: right next to janice. brian bine we should have something besides a jack ma'am hammer. ainsley: with a silencer. if you can figure out a jack hammer that's silent make a lot of money. steve: sounds like money to me. somebody is making money running that thing. just saying. all right. meanwhile, 12 minutes before the top of the hour. fox nation is hosting its third annual patriot awards. going to be wednesday, november 17th at 8:00 in the evening at the hard rock live theater down in hollywood, florida. ainsley: the show honoring the unsung american patriots dedicated to our nation. plus, we'll also be there.

(gentle music) steve: well, earth could face another pandemic if china does not come clean about the origins of coast and risky experiments they were running of wuhan lab of virology. that's the prohibition our next guest makes in a book that comes out today called "what really happened in wuhan" making a compelling case for the lab leak theory it hits shelves in the u.s. today. sharey markson joins us. >> good morning, good evening. thanks for having me you have got the book out and extraordinary clues you put together. the defector talking about how they are brewing up something over there also, didn't somebody say that apparently -- according to your reporting, apparently people contacted our u.s. state department before we knew about it saying this is going on. you need to know. >> yeah. there was a chinese defector who made that warning even more astonishing when the state department, that team under mike pompeo was investigating the origins of the virus, there was three given item people working in the wuhan institute of virology and another one in wuhan that claimed to have knowledge of what was happening in the wuhan institute of virology who directly got in contact with the state department and gave a version of events about weigh that thought happened in that laboratory the contact was made through a trusted intermediary. the problem was almost impossible information to verify. they didn't know if what they were being told was accurate or not. one of the people who was working in the wuhan institute of virology, he spoke to david asher, who was the lead investigator in the state department he told him there might have been monkey bite. that might have been what had happened and they were never able to verify whether that it information was accurate or not it was another piece of the puzzle. steve: so far 5 million people around the world have died because of the coronavirus. you, with your reporting and it's terrific very clear to you it's a lab leak. joe biden ordered our intel agencies to look into it and at the end of the 90 day investigation it was like well, it's inconclusive. your investigation has shown it's a lab leak. don't you think that joe biden's administration threw the cia and other intell know it's a lab leak? >> i think the problem is the intelligence agencies right from the start were being advised by scientists who were deeply compromised. scientists like peter daszak were actually advising the intelligence agency and they have reason to hide a lot of information about what was happening at the wuhan institute of viral because they were involved and funding that research. so it took a very long time for the intelligence community as a whole to come around to this idea that a lab leak is very possible. probe -- source are of human contact human infection from an animal from a lab leak are plausible. i have to say i even have uncovered information in my book and in the documentary that was on fox nation that i don't think the intelligence agencies have. one of the things. steve: sharey, let's tell you what, let's hope the cia buys a copy of it today her book called "what really napped wuhan" available in book stores and full documentary on fox nation. sharey, thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >> yesterday, nancy pelosi said $3.5 trillion bill costs zero (burke) smart dog. with farmers crashassist, our signal app can tell when you've been in a crash and can send help, if you want it. get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ you have the best pizza in town and the worst wait times. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire paul loves food. but his diabetes made food a mystery. everything felt like a “no.” but then paul went from no to know. with freestyle libre 14 day, now he knows how food affects his glucose. and he knows when to make different choices. take the mystery out of your glucose levels - and lower your a1c. now you know. try it for free. visit freestylelibre.us ♪♪ at aspen dental, we help you find your happy place try it for free. visit freestylelibre.us like milkshake mustaches high fives and high dives. or 3-on-3s... 2-on-2s... and 1-on-1s. we see how these moments make us smile so, we make it easy to share your smile with safe and convenient care — all in one place, with evening and weekend hours. right now, new patients get a complete exam and x-rays — free without insurance. plus, everyone saves 20% on their treatment plan. celebrate life's happiest moments. call 1-800-aspendental or book online today. if they end catch and release the crisis will be ended. >> the cdc issuing urgent alert for expectant mothers get the covid vaccine. >> most pregnant woman. best thing can you do get vaccinated. >> hit popped up to third. steube has got it and that's the ballgame. the republicans win it 13-12 as they storm out of the dug out. ainsley: good morning to you. you are looking at the republicans, they are excited because they won last night the charity baseball game republicans vs. democrats they won by one home run it was 13-12. steve: the homer came from the pitcher greg steube, the congressman from the great state of florida. it's the third time in 13 years. come on up to the mezzanine level. third time in 13 years the republicans have won. with unified government in washington with the democrats holding the white house, the senate, and the house, it probably felt pretty good at national stadium. ainsley: the republicans got the baseball game. steve: finally won something. brian: carley shimkus stayed all day i word came out that the president was on his way didn't tell anyone. at the dugout doing personal politics getting joe manchin and nancy pelosi kyrsten sinema you have some time? i need to convince you to do what i want. so far swing and miss for the president over and over again. ainsley: democrats were excited to see him they were screaming out we love joe. build back better. then he walked over to the republican side the republicans were booing him. nancy pelosi was dancing. did you all see her dance? >> she was happy. up in the stands they had some signs, one of them, obviously, trying to lobby the president said our lives are not a game, pass 3.5 trillion. another side said dems, don't f this up. so the president showed up in the second inning. he stayed for about an hour. he started out in the democrat side and then as you can see right there. walked across the field went over to the republican side was with them. but you know what? and this is one of my favorite parts of his appearance yesterday. did you know he brought snacks for all the players? ainsley: that was nice. steve: right? what did he bring? he brought if we can zoom in a little bit maybe we can't. it's a dove bar with if you notice in the lower left -- right hand corner of that that's the presidential seal. the people at dove bar make a presidential dove bar. brian: come with dry ice? how does he bring it? steve: he has a motorcade. brian: he doesn't have to worry about in traffic with ice cream get there right away. did he tell the guys eat it right away? steve: i don't know, brian. brian: we have to get a reporter on the scene. wake carley. steve: we have been to the white house before in past administrations and we always get the little m&m boxes with the presidential logo on them. i wonder how many people are thinking i'm going to save the dove bar? unfortunately, it's probably melted by now. ainsley: when i read laura bush's book she would talk about how people would come to visit the white house and they have the linens and the napkins, the disposable napkins in the bathrooms with the presidential seal. people would just take them and put them in their pocketbooks and take them home. steve: i have loot of those. brian: can't get them at party city. steve: dollar store. anyway, congratulations to the republicans. they won. ainsley: that's right. now let's take a live look at the white house where president biden zip cord in his own party over these pair of spending bills. steve: house speaker nancy pelosi says a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill will happen today. they are there are going to be a bunch of vote on capitol hill today. brian: she said if it's not going to pass i will never bring a bill to the floor. what's requesting on? peter doocy joins us from the white house as progressives promise to tank the vote unless they get what they want. peter? peter: good morning. and joe biden heard something usually reserved for a nemesis of the nationals from the republican side of the stadium last night. listen here. >> there he is. [crowd boos] president biden making an appearance here. i. steve: boos out for president biden as he was trying to save a bipartisan infrastructure bill that may already be dead because progressives thought it was attached to a multitrillion dollars wish list and joe manchin is not going to let that happen. saying late last night what i made clear is spending trillions more on new and expanded government programs when we can't even pay for the essential social programs like social security and medicare is the definition of fiscal insanity. those new and expanded government programs that he is referring to include what's on the screen. $3.5 trillion total but with free community college for illegal immigrants. 79 billion for irs tax enforcement. 12 billion for government electric cars. 3 billion for tree equity. 25 million for bias training and 4 billion for distance learning. democrats were also told again yesterday that by the parliamentarian that they cannot stick immigration reform into any of this. nobody know what is speaker pelosi is going to do. is she going pull the vote scheduled for today. she didn't want to share a ton yesterday. >> there he is. [crowd boos] >> president biden making an appearance here. peter: that was not nancy pelosi telling a reporter that she didn't really want to talk about her plan. the infrastructure and reconciliation budget not necessarily urgent today. what is raising the debt limit. they have to do that by 11:59 p.m. tonight or else tomorrow we are going to be talking about a government shut down. back to you. steve: peter, that's going to pass bipartisan support to kick the can down the street a little bit. peter: it's expected to, yeah. brian: congressman juan vargas says pelosi is the best vote counter i have ever seen and she does not have the vote. steve: so maybe they won't take the debt ceiling vote today or infrastructure bill. ainsley: let's check in with ronny jackson who attended the congressional baseball game tonight. good morning to you. >> good morning. thank you for having me. steve: did you get a dove bar. >> i didn't get a dove bar. i missed out on that. i don't know what happened. i wasn't part of that group. ainsley: yours melted. couldn't hand it out. what's your reaction to this? what's going to happen with these spending bills? >> i don't know. i think the democrats are in complete disarray right now. they can't come up with anything. negotiating the top line on this. still holding the infrastructure bill hostage larger reconciliation bill. in general they want to spend about $5 trillion of our taxpayer money that we don't have. they want to tell the american people that it's not going to cost us a dime. they are acting like they found the money somewhere in a closet in the capitol and it didn't belong to anybody. it's insane that you would think we would spend this kind of money. it's not going to cost taxpayers just in the future huge sums. it's going to raise our taxes. i don't know what they are doing. i think she promised that they were going to vote on this at the very beginning of the week on monday. telling her caucus that they were going to vote on this. brian: she promised. >> it didn't happen. here we are, it's thursday. it's last day we are in session here. we are about to be done and still not here. brian: keep on thinking remember, harold ford says and is he democrat. why don't democrats take the win? they have the votes to get the 1.2 whether you want to vote for it or not, republicans. came out of the senate. the house would get it. 25 republicans evidently have bought into it already. but they won't do it without the 3.5. here's what nancy pelosi said about the 3.5 trillion. i thought 3.5 trillion was real money but i found out differently. listen. >> it's not about a dollar amount. the dollar amount, as the president has said, is zero. this bill will be paid for. brian: what? >> yeah. how crazy is that? honestly, they think the american people are just complete idiots. that we're just not going to watch this or we are going to -- we are going to believe this garbage. i mean, everyone knows that there is no free ride and this is a perfect example of it. we are talking about 5. -- over $5 trillion in spending. this is going to wreck this country if it goes through. take the win and do the infrastructure -- get the infrastructure bill passed. but it's the far left of the party that's controlling all of this right now. and they are holding it hostage. steve: they're, indeed. meanwhile, yesterday, up on capitol hill, you were able to talk to the top brass about what went wrong in afghanistan we are requesting to play some of your questioning and the testimony. because you brought up a great point. did the pentagon keep their eye on the ball or were they worried about something else? here's the admiral yesterday. >> two days, just two days prior to when these provinces failed. you were here on our committee june 23rd. you set before this committee and you listed some of your experience that we talked in depth about. critical race theory. telling us you want to understand white rage. telling us how offended you were to be labeled as woke. perhaps we would not have had 1 service members and hundreds of afghans killed. 18 service members wounded and countless u.s. citizens abandoned and left taliban hostages if you had been more focused on your duty to this country instead of defending and pandering to the biden administration's woke social experiment with the united states military. doing book interviews and colluding with chinese military officials that you should resign because of your dereliction of duty to this country and your inability to do your job and protect this country. general milley, will you now resign? >> i serve at the pleasure of the president, mr. jackson. steve: so, in other words, the president would have to ask him. >> if the president was doing his job right now, general milley wouldn't be in that role right now because he does need to resign. he and secretary austin are both need to be held accountable for what's going on there. other people as well. we have state department issues. but i'm so tired of people in the military at this level sync zero responsibility for anything that goes wrong. it's like they're untouchable. and they have to step up to the plate and acknowledge that they made some serious mistakes and people got killed in the process and our country in a much worse position now than it was before this started. so, i am just, you know, i have been in the armed services committee and i'm on foreign affairs as well. all we talk about are issues that don't have anything to do with our national security. and i really do think that they haven't had their eye on the ball. we have been talking about all these other issues while we don't talk about china and russia and the withdrawal from afghanistan. all of these things are being ignored because everybody is pandering to the biden administration. of we shouldn't be doing that it's not our job. brian: next generation of war fighters are thinking about woke policies. real quick, there is somebody paying the price. lieutenant colonel sheryl. sheller.gave him a 650,000 page indictment. it how about that sitting in front knowing he jailed marine colonel because he wanted accountability. he into the questions were going to come. they didn't care how does he think it's already talking to this sleazy book writer write ago book basically a hit job on president trump. brian: three books. >> exactly. that's okay but for some reason or another if somebody speaks up like this lieutenant colonel did, basically speaking up on behalf of his other marines and really worried about, you know, what's going on in the country, he speaks up and he gets thrown in jail? it's such double standard and general milley was like well, it's my job to talk to the press. this is not talking to the press. you are talking to book writer that's writing a hit book on president trump. i mean, there is a lot of reasons why general milley needs to resign. he told senator cotton that he wasn't going to resign just because the president didn't take his advice? that's not the issue right now. there are all kinds of other issues out there right now that we need to be demanding his resignation. ainsley: now, if you read the reconciliation bill. it's thousands of pages long. on page 168, it looks like nancy pelosi is quietly tucked something in that might be concerning to our viewers. it's the vaccine mandate. and they are saying on this page $70,000 in fines for serious infractions. and $700,000 for willful or repeated violations. they are putting this in the reconciliation bill and they are going to fine companies if they don't require the vaccine? >> yeah. what are they thinking? they are already having trouble with this. they are already having trouble getting this bipartisan support for this. now they are going to put something else highly controversial in there? i don't understand what they do. but it's all another effort for them to control our lives. it really is and this would just devastate our economy right now. we already have having issue with doctors and teachers and people working in restaurants and we can't find enough employees. cops? now go around and start firing? military as well. go around and start dismissing and firing these people? who is going to do these jobs? some of these are highly skilled jobs you can't just roll somebody else in. i hear people talk about the governors talk about we are going to bring in the national guard to fill the gap unless hospitals nurses and national guard. where do those people work? they work in hospitals on a day-to-day basis if you are pulling them in to fail gap that you created there is going to be another gap somewhere elsewhere people aren't going to be getting healthcare. steve: you know all about that. you are a doctor, admiral and now a congressman. ronny, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you guys, appreciate it. brian: keep an eye on new york hospitals in depleted 90% vaccinated need 100 percent. 10% not bundling, they are all going to be fired. by friday, tomorrow, then the teachers get fired if they don't show up. so what a mess this is. herd immunity is supposed to be 75%. you are already at 90%. what is going on? steve: well, you know, the administration has squeezing employers. when your employer is the government, serve singing out of the same song book. brian: the government is not medical workers. steve: the government wants to everybody get the shot. brian: too bad. people make their own decisions. ainsley: tough talk to your doctor some of them are pregnant don't want the shot until the baby is born. i have a friend can't take vaccines. doctor knows that she has a plan with her doctor. she says she is pulling her kids out of school and home school if they make the kids get vaccinated. brian: natural immunity. you better start tog taking that into account doctors and nurses know they have got the antibodies they don't need more. because they understand the medical. they understand the business. meanwhile, 15 minutes after the hour. hey, jillian. jillian: cdc is chiming in on that. get to the headline. urgent alert for expectant mothers to get the covid vaccine. warning comes in a new report that only a third of pregnant women in the u.s. have gotten the shot. the agency is strongly recommending that women who are currently pregnant get the vaccine to prevent serious illness and adverse pregnancy outcomes. in tennessee, an officer and paramedic team up to rescue an unconscious driver from a burning car. look at this. >> hit right there on that tire. and i will hit. jillian: unbelievable. the pair working together to extinguish the flames and pull the driver to safety. the fire department saying thanks for their quick actions. the driver is expected to be okay. the republican running to be virginia's next governor hopes the campaign ad will strike a cord with parents. >> i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. jillian: glenn youngkin releasing the ad after his opponent said parents should be shut out of their kids' education during the debate. >> what we saw last night on full display was flashing red lights with terry mcauliffe's heart that he believes that government and politicians know better for our children than parents. he wants to exclude parents from being involved in educating our children. jillian: mcauliffe also drawing criticism after getting caught maskless on board amtrak train in july after preaching the importance of wearing a of coursema. army veteran fights off alligator in florida using only a trash can. look at this. stepped up kids to protect and military instincts stepped. in he down to a grassy hill where it was safely released. i'm going inside. ainsley: that's what i was saying. why didn't he go inside. steve the alligator is still out there scaring the kids that guy very brave. we have got to get him on the show. ainsley: is he a veteran. he said his military skills kicked. in. steve: who ever thought to use garbage can. brian: they are not rattled by alligators they embrace them. jillian: embrace might be a strong word. brian: i'm going to stick with it. ainsley: grew up with alligators in south carolina and i don't think anyone was embracing them. steve: i don't think so. brian: if you embrace alligators live in florida call us 1-866-tell fox. ainsley: alligators down in florida in the la goons and brian looked at me and said i wouldn't have known there was an alligator in that lagoon. don't you think lagoon, alligator?

♪ steve britney spears is waking up this morning feeling stronger than yesterday as a judge permanently suspends her father jamie from his role in her conservatorship. the pop star reportedly burst into tears upon hearing the news and after 13 years of not having him control her life, her attorney says their fight for accountability is not over. and, yesterday, apparently she posted her taking a flying lesson. she's free. sort of. former federal prosecutor francey hakes joins us now to react. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: so how does -- so jamie is out of her life when it comes to that how does britney spears' life change now. >> it changes a little bit in the sense that the man who has been really tightly controlling her for so many years is no longer in that position of power over her. it must be a very freeing feeling. even though she is still not free. she still can't make most of her own decisions. she is not in control of her own money. but, still, the man who i'm sure to her represented that sort of overwhelming power on her and the thumb on her is now gone. so i'm sure she feels much better about it. steve: i know a couple years ago britney spears documentary i think it was done by the "new york times." people heard about the story for the first time ever. but, you know, these kinds of conservatorships are very private affairs but we know so much about this one probably because she is a celebrity. >> we do. it's really unfortunate. i don't understand it. the one thing we have never really heard is why. why did a judge feel 13 years ago that britney spears no longer could be allowed to manage her own affairs? her own personal life, her own money? she was a young attractive, very high profile woman. what is it about her mental health that a judge decided meant she couldn't make any of her own decisions? i think the system needs to be reformed because it seems to me that this was a travesty of justice, this young woman that she spent 13 years out of control of herself. steve: and she has said she would not tour again until her dad was removed. so let's see if she goes back into show business. meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about this. it seems like the eyes of the law enforcement community are trying to figure out where in the world is brian laundrie? and apparently the news yesterday is the fbi has been looking at some surveillance video that showed brian going to a phone store to pick up a burner phone and i read one account there was an older woman with him. some have said well, was that his mom? what's going on with that francey. >> it certainly could have been his mom. i think the interesting thing here is that there is surveillance of his buying that phone. because the fbi is going to be really interested in what he looks like right now. has he shaved his facial hair? is he wearing a hat? what has he done to disguise his appearance? it's really more important to them than the phone. although they can get valuable information from that phone and from things he might have said to the clerk when he was buying the phone or what was the plan that he put on it?

yellen said it's important for the irs to have comprehensive information. that's a look at your headlines. steve: that's crazy. brian: that's the scariest part of all that spending is the militarization of the irs. they are going to be in everybody's grill. we watched lois learner last time now you are going to give them $76 billion to knock on your door?

fox news contributor lara trump joins us now to react. it's unbelievable. panama, who is an ally of ours, would have trouble getting through to the president. >> yeah, well, it seems rather purposeful. doesn't it, brian? that this is all happening. what an embarrassment. this is yet another world leader who is calling out the country, calling out the united states of america and the biden administration saying you guys better pay attention to this because you are not doing your job. remember, when our border czar kamala harris went down to guatemala and the guatemalan president embarrassed her by saying you guys send bad messaging and you are telling people to come up through, you know, our countries and come to the united states of america. so, i mean, it's crazy that you are right that panama couldn't warn the united states but, brian, they know it's happening and at a certain point people have to ask themselves, is this just part of the democrat plan? and i think we have to keep talking about that because this sort of thing cannot be an accident. when you do not secure your southern border. when do you not follow the laws of the land, which joe biden is not doing, i mean, it's got to be purposeful. steve: lara, this week they were breaking ground for the barack obama presidential library. abc sat down with former president barack obama, and he was asked about what's going on on our southern border with the wide open borders, and he said, it's unsustainable. but they did not run that particular clip on television. it was hidden on the internet. we dug it up. here's the former president. watch this. >> we're a nation state. we have borders. the idea that we can just have open borders is something that, i think, as a practical matter, is, is unsustainable. steve: and, lara, that's the headline from the interview and they didn't play it. >> yeah. i mean, again, these things are not accidents. this is the same media that -- this is what they did throughout the entirety of the trump administration. throughout the campaign in 2020. campaign quite frankly in 2016 i mean is lying by omission. and it doesn't take a rocket scientist, steve, to figure out that if you do not have borders, you don't have a country. if you can't prevent people from just free flowing into your country, then the sovereignty of your country is totally gone. but i mean, i guess the goal is to, you know, prop up the democrats and make sure that their talking points are out there and they don't want people to hear that. barack obama is right. we have to have borders and we have to enforce the laws at our borders. and, unfortunately, it is not being done right now. it is incredibly detrimental to the united states. brian: the a.p. called, they want confirmation. you said barack obama was right, right? [laughter] >> maybe the one time that i'm going to agree with him, yes. he is correct in this matter. brian: lara trump, thanks so much. >> thanks, guys. ainsley: pushing back against vaccine

officer and serving for so long and sacrificing so much? >> it's disheartening. i would have thought that the sacrifices that i have made that the other officers in our department have made would have spoken volumes and that we shouldn't have to have been a part of this experiment. so it's just disheartening. ainsley: randy, what did the judge say? >> well, the judge came down on the side that we needed to exhaust administrative remedies, file an appeal with the denver department of health. we thought we had some exceptions to that exhaustion requirement, but she didn't see it that way. so we are feverishly getting the administrative appeal ready to file today. ainsley: so you will file that today. and then what will happen? >> >> well, it's hard to say. the city attorney yesterday said that the department of health is set up to expedite these appeals. i have been an attorney for 23 years. that has not been my experience with these administrative agencies. so, i think it will be a

and players to watch is fox nfl reporter jen hale. we got an exciting program you're involved with but first things first. the job that you do, cardinals at rams, 200 feet teams rams coming off a big win last week. >> huge. this is going to be must-see tv, brian it's kind of amazing they pay me to do this. this is my game. it's the battle of the undefeated and it's only week four but this is the nfc west so this game could have major playoff implications down the road. of course the rams shiny new toy in the off season matthew staff ford, the quarterback looks like he's been there for years and then the two coach, cliff kingsbury and shawn mcvey, two of the youngest most exciting coaches in the nfl. shawn mcvey has never lost to the cardinals. he's beaten them eight times in a row so in this year, the cardinals finally get over that hump and fight back. they look a lot different this year, tyler murray is clicking on all cylinders, brian coming into this week first in scoring and second in total yard s in the entire nfl, so this is going to be a fantastic dual to watch. brian: just that stadium is fantastic rams are home just beating the buccs. panthers at cowboys, cowboys got all of texas excited with this both undefeated both haven't played tough opponents yet. >> yeah, both of these teams are very good. very exciting. i love the panthers, they come in beat up they are missing their star running back christian mcaffrey, as well as jc horn, he broke his foot, so i don't know if they will have the fire power to extinguish zach prescott in this cowboys offense. i expect the cowboys to roll on sunday. brian: the first big test we'll find out if he can win a game by himself and then the big game because i'm a giants fan, they play at saints and the saints get to go home after the hurricane, kept them in jacksonville. >> finally, brian. finally. they have been gone since hurricane ida in august. they have been camped out in dallas and move that home game as you mentioned to jacksonville it has been a long road for the players and the coaches, but also for the fans. new orleans feeds off saints football so this is not only the first time that it'll be full since covid so even though winston, still has a little bit of chaos in that huddle, still struggling a little bit with that decision-making, i have a feeling it's going to be a long day for your giants and daniel jones. i think that home crowd is going to be insane and really pick the saints. brian: they lost 17-14 to the falcons, meanwhile, you're involved with side line pass, a mentor

stuby, the congressman from the great state of florida was the pitcher for the republicans and he also hit something that has never happened before, he hit an out of the ballpark home run. that's it right there, and it's the first time its ever happened in a major league stadium, so that is a bona fide major league homer. congratulations to the republicans but particularly, congressman stuby, you're the man. ainsley: brian was doubtful yesterday. you were expecting the republicans to lose. brian: right and i was because they always loss. ainsley: not always. steve: as we play the rocky

yankees? brian: i no one of them's professional i keep forgetting which one. ainsley: the final score in washington was 13-12, republican s won it by 1. steve: but what was interesting though, out of nowhere, suddenly yesterday, there was a lot of bo o'ing and as it turns out it's because joe biden showed up in the second inning, he went down and he shook hands in the democrat dug out that he walked across the field, shook hands with republicans he was there to do a little handshaking and arm-twisting, because today 's infrastructure day in washington, and he needs the democrats to be all on the same page. ainsley: president biden and house speaker nancy pelosi facing escalating discord in their own party over these two spending bills. brian: i don't see much progress, but it all could change quickly. the speaker says a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill will happened to, but if she doesn't have the votes will it happen? steve: let's go to peter doocy live at the white house as progressives promise to tank that vote in less they get what they want and they want a lot. reporter: good morning some of the republican baseball players may say thank you to president biden, because the democrat's team, their best player was their pitcher for the last decade, former congressman cedri ck richmond, who president biden brought over here to be a senior advisor so that meant he could not pitch against the republicans. so this is a multi-playered sports story, tied up with infrastructure. last night was the biggest event of any kind i can remember biden attending in the last two and a half years or so. it's also the first of any kind in that time that it was not a completely friendly crowd which he heard right away. >> there he is. >> booo. >> president biden making an appearance here. reporter: the quest to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill tied to a multi trillion dollar progressive wish list is over for now, because joe manchin is a "no" on the wish list, writing , what i've made clear, is that spending trillions more on new and expanded government programs when we can't even pay for the essential social programs like social security and medicare, is the definition of fiscal insanity. some of those new and expanded government programs that he's referring to in the $3.5 trillion package be free community college for illegal immigrants, 79 billion for irs enforcement, 12 billion for government electric cars, 3 billion for tree equity, 25 million for bias training and 4 billion for distance learning. democrats were also told again by the parliament in the senate, you can't stick immigration reform into any of this , because they try it again. nobody knows what speaker pelosi is going to do today. will she pull the vote? will she hold the vote and watch it maybe go down. she didn't want to share much of her strategy yesterday. >> watch what the arms of moderates if this is not going to move anywhere. >> what are you talking about? we cannot predicate our actions in the house on what could happen in the senate. i have no patience for people not voting for this. reporter: well, lawmakers might need a lot of patience today, because there is so much uncertainty, president biden right now has no public events on the schedule; however, the press secretary is hinting he could make a trip on to capitol hill to try to lean on some last minute undecided later on today. back to you. steve: peter has he been working the phones? reporter: he has been working on the phones but pretty much everything we've been hearing is he's not whipping support for these plans. he's basically just hearing people out as opposed to trying to use the weight of his office for this , which is kind of surprising, because this is a big one and it's getting closer to next year's mid-terms even though they are more than a year away than it seems to do something this big, and they have had a lot of losses lately at the border, and in afghanistan, they are looking for wins, they got this bipartisan infrastructure bill where they can count on republican support but joe biden trusted nancy pelosi and chuck schumer who said we are going to essentially we're not going to do that until we get this progressive $3.5 trillion worth of stuff through, and it seems like that strategy may have ultimately backfired because now, the people that they needed who thought they knew what to expect are not with them anymore. brian: thanks, peter. so joe manchin went on to say he doesn't see the rush. 1.2 trillion is going to be voted on today. he does not see the rush for the other bill. he said we don't have a one or two week deadline. i don't believe that because everything is covered. there's nobody going without. the child tax credit ends up at the end of the year, everything else goes to 2023 that's why i say let's do a pause. that's the same thing he's been saying for the last few weeks, let's do a pause. what's the rush? well you know what the rush is. you open on 2022 and if you lose the house steve: that's what peter was talking about. ainsley: he went on to say at some point all of us regardless of party must ask the simple question, how much is enough. we've already spent $5.4 trillion since last march. i can't support spending 3.5 trillion. he's concerned about inflation, he's concerned about the spending and the tax hike for corporations. steve: right exactly. he said there are a lot of job opens in the united states and people don't want to take them but speaking of inflation, a sign of the time, if you go to fox business.com right now, dollar tree, where a lot of you shop, is going to start selling stuff for more than $1 and why is that? it's because inflation currently in the united states is running north of 4%, and gas is very expensive and the cost of shipping stuff as well, so, ultimately when people are impacted at the grocery store as they are, at the gas station, and now dollar store, you know, on the control panel at the white house, there's got to be a red light flashing, because they have been selling stuff for a buck for decades, and now during the biden administration, it's going to be a dollar plus. ainsley: the shares jumped more than 16% on wednesday when this was announced. they are going to be selling products for $1 and $3 and $5 testing it out, right now they have 340 existing dollar tree plus stores and they are on track to have 500 of these stores by the end of the fiscal year 2021. brian: very popular. we'll see what happens, they will be voting today and keep in mind, they are planning on making joe biden look like a hero, they are setting him up to look like a guy that's going to broker a deal because they see how his numbers are tanking, and if he doesn't pass this it'll tank on the economy in the long run it'll help and the problem for joe biden is he thought he was going to take over during a crisis like the 2008 crash when the pandemic first happened. all indications are we're coming out of it so this is not fdr, he was trying to pull us out of a depression, so what is your rationale for piling on debt when we have debt that's already piled on. it makes no sense, and i believe , i'm going to believe what joe biden and krysten sinema are saying and they are just using logic. he goes i understand what being a democrat is but there's also a thing called being responsible. i hope they hold the line. steve: never let a crisis go to waste and they have been putting all of this stuff together and they said covid but here's the thing and peter made a good point. he said what's unusual is joe biden is working the phones but he's not whipping anybody. he's not saying, hey, you got to vote for this 1.2 trillion thing he's not saying you've got to vote for the 3.5 trillion because if he tells people to vote for the 1.2 trillion he will anger the progressive wing. if he says hey vote for the 3.5 trillion, he's going to blow up the moderates, and so he's in a pickle and that is why the dems are having an absolute civil war. five votes are scheduled in the senate today starting at 10: 30, let's see what happens. let's see what passes. they will vote ultimately to fund government for another couple weeks but that's it. ainsley: a lot going on in washington, a baseball game, spending bills being debated and also our top military brass is back on the hill yesterday. they were being grilled. this time by the house, so here 's a little of what you missed if you didn't see any of that yesterday but the headline basically is that general milley said we lost the war in afghanistan, the war was a strategic failure. listen to some of this. >> the war was a strategic failure. it came also at an incredible cost in the end with 11 marines, one soldier, and a navy man. these 13 gave their lives so that people they never met would have an opportunity to live in freedom and we must remember that the taliban remains a terrorist organization and they still have not broken with al qaeda. i have no illusion who we are dealing with. >> on the issue of why we didn't bring out civilians and s iv's sooner, again, the call on how to do that and when to do it is really a state department call. we provided our input and we certainly would have liked to seen it go faster or sooner, but again, they had a number of things to think through as well. brian: there are so many revelations yesterday, the question was finally asked. is it true you got a call from taliban right when they were outside kabul, because they were even surprised that everyone left their post, and the president of afghanistan left the country, and he said the ministries are being stripped. we're going to go in or do you want to go in and mckenzie said, oh, i don't really, it didn't seem like a formal offer, and we didn't have enough troops so i said you go in so you just green lighted the taliban in. the series of decisions made in the last minute, i do not think are going to survive a rigorous test and examination at any war college in the country. number two is i wouldn't say you flat out lost the war when in 2014 you pivoted focuses from the war to a defensive posture supporting the afghans. if you look at what took place you got to ask yourself, did they know what was going to fall they plan for all contingencies but this surprised them. i thought contingency operations were put in place to not be surprised? get a bigger table top. if you didn't have a table top exercise, to allow you to play this out, and i also think the one ongoing situation which i fear that people are forgetting is how many people are stuck in that country. the thing that sticks in my head is michael walter's testimony and he said i wake up to be heading videos everyday to sib 's that we didn't get out, and they're in different, the secretary of defense, and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and you look at blinken last week, about getting them out. it's nobody's job, not my word, senator blumenthal said that. he said he has setup basically a clearing house to try to help these people get out, a liberal democrat from connecticut, and cannot get help from the white house. they have to be held accountable for that. ainsley: can you imagine how terrified you'd be if you lived in afghanistan right now and you were someone that helped americans and our allies be heading and amputating people 's hands, arms, limbs, noses, ears. steve: according to the generals blame the state department. i think the revelation for a lot of people is after two days of testimony, and, you know, while they said i'm reluctant to tell you exactly what he told the president, they did reveal that joe biden essentially lied, because during that interview with george stephanopoulos he said nobody told me they had 2,500 people there. ainsley: not that i can recall. steve: maybe he can't recall which says something else, but another day for that. brian: but general milley talked the three authors but then when asked did they portray you accurately? i don't know i didn't read the book. please let's not make that common place, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, while in office, is helping book sales for bob woodward. ainsley: congressman mike rogers condemned the president and said he was dilution all for calling this an extraordinary success and this is an extraordinary disaster. brian: we all know it and he wants to talk about something else. steve: coming up on 8:15 in the east and jillian joins us with news from congress and a fine. jillian: let's start off with this story because congressman dan crenshaw is fined $5,000 for bypassing the metal detectors installed in the capitol. a house ethics committee press release says the texas representative refused to go through the detectors. he will have the money deducted from his paycheck, he was among the republicans who called out speaker nancy pelosi for bypass ing the detectors without facing a fine in february. >> the nba announcing it will withhold pay from unvaccinated players who missed games in cities enforcing mandates. chi kyrie irving stands to lose the most at $400,000 per home game: mayor bill deblasio pleading for the brooklyn mets guard to get the shot and irving maintaining his vaccination status is private. the nba estimates 90% of players will be vaccinated before the season starts on october 19. >> the decision to ban backpacks at one idaho school district is causing chaos on campus. students carrying their books around in pretty much anything, wagons, even old popcorn machines, to mock the district's ban, but jefferson county school district says the move is to prevent gun violence after a middle

virginia student turning heads for standing up to his own school board over the mask mandates. the passionate speech was at a meeting in loudoun county, virginia which has become widely known for its controversial curriculum and the parents standing up against it. that student, noah rafowsxi joins us along with his parents megan and adam. good morning. >> good morning. ainsley: great to see you all. noah, why did you feel the need to stand up and speak out to the board? >> well, i definitely feel like it was something that there were a lot of other people doing it at that point and i felt like i asked my parents if i could do it and i didn't feel like what they were doing is right, and i don't like masks, and they don't work, so i don't know why we're doing it. ainsley: what's happening when you're wearing the mask for too long? >> well i'm definitely getting, i'm dizzy, headaches, it's not comfortable, it's very uncomfortable. dizziness, headaches almost every day at school. ainsley: and megan you're not a fan of these mask mandates. you say they're absurd. why do you feel that way? >> yeah, i do. i tried to boil it down to three major points, and really, there's a sign of submission with them, and just for us to go along with everything. it's depriving the children of oxygen and their brains to be able to develop properly and kids need to be able to feed the mouths of their teachers when speaking and to be able to hear them clearly and thirdly, i believe that we're created in the image of god and the image of god he created male and female, and our face really, we stand on that and we just don't feel that this is right to continue, our president currently has said that if you're vaccinated, one out of every 160,000 people, you'll go to the hospital. that's your chance. 1 in 160,000. we, as unvaccinated children, are not posing a risk. the teachers are all vaccinated, so they should feel protected and if people want to wear masks then please, go ahead. you're welcome to it, but we just don't feel that it's right to mandate it. ainsley: adam, i know you've spoken out in front of the school board on different issues, in the past, and terry mccullough is running for governor, a democrat there, and he said parents shouldn't have a say. listen to this. >> i'm not going to let parents come into schools and actually take their child and make their own decision. >> [applause] >> so i have a bill that i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. ainsley: adam what is your reaction when you hear things like that? >> yeah, i heard that yesterday evening and then this morning again. it's really shocking, i guess, to hear someone's opinion that the parents don't have a say as far as the school and what's being taught in schools. we certainly believe that that is our right as parents to be able to have influence on the schools. they are an elected school board their salaries and the teachers are paid by our tax dollars. many of the principles of this country was built on is the fact that we are a representative government. ainsley: noah, megan, adam, thank you all so much for coming on and your dog, we heard your dog in the background. it's a beautiful shot. >> sorry about that. [laughter] ainsley: thank you all so much, i wish you the best noah go get them, you have a bright future. >> thank you. ainsley: still ahead, the crisis at our southern border is impacting americans nationwide as illegal drugs stream into our country, fox & friends enterprise reporter lawrence jones to see just how far the join us live, hey, lawrence, coming up next. >> ♪ steve: the flow of drugs in the united states from mexico turning every state into a border state. ainsley: that includes idaho, which is located 2,000 miles away but is seeing a massive spike in fentanyl overdoses, and officials say 96% of the drugs trafficked in the region are coming from mexico. brian: fox & friends enterprise reporter lawrence jones on the road again just got back from idaho. what did you find when it comes to law enforcement officials, and you even spoke to the governor. reporter: yeah, what the law enforcement officials are saying they can't less their way out of this. it's too much drugs. steve: it's everywhere. reporter: i had the opportunity to talk to the governor, the sheriff there, that is on the front lines of this. this is what they had to say. >> we're going out into this area, and it looks nice and calm. i can guarantee you, there are cartel members in this area we're going to. this goes all the way to california. reporter: this road right here? drugs come in this way? >> absolutely. absolutely. reporter: there's been cars going back and forth, 18 wheeler s. could drugs me in these vehicles >> it could be in every one, probably in half of them. reporter: that's the gateway. >> everything bad coming across it ends up in america. >> 96% of the law enforcement agencies concur that the fentanyl and the meth that are coming into idaho are sourc ed in mexico. reporter: how bad is it? >> it's bad and it's getting worse, because it's getting to be more and more abundant and it's getting to be cheaper. >> last year, over 90,000 americans died from drug overdoses, and the two primary drugs that they overdose on are fentanyl and methamphetamine. those drugs come from one place and that's south of our border. just in the last year, we had several overdose deaths. we had homicides directly tied to a drug deal that had gone bad it was a fentanyl drug deal and it happened 1 # hundred yards from my front door, and i had had had the unfortunate task of having a conversations with family members who have lost children, who have lost fathers, who have lost mothers. the people that are manufacturing this fentanyl that are bringing this fentanyl across the border and that are selling it absolutely know that it kills people. >> over 40% of every pill is a lethal dose. >> one grain of fentanyl that would fit on the end of your pencil is enough to kill you. within the last three months, i had two officers we processed them into the jail, working on the guys wallet or his money, and bag and they open up the bag and both men went to the ground instantly, just dropped like that, because those are airborne particles. we administered narcan immediately and one had to go on an iv drip to save his life. reporter: that's the type of such coming across this border? >> absolutely, everyday. that's what our guys are dealing with out on the streets. reporter: we're in an undisclosed location right here, this is where the operations happen narcotic busts. talk about how risky it is. it's already risky being a cop, but taking on the cartel. >> these guys are high risk every minute of every day. >> the federal government always tends to get out of their lane, defending this country is the role, is the designated role by the founders of this country to defend the country and to protect the borders. >> are we losing that fight right now? >> oh, absolutely no question about it. that's why i was one of 25 governors that sent a letter to the president saying that this is crisis. we've got to address this. reporter: what did the president say? well i think the letter just went out last week, so, we're waiting for a reply. >> i met him twice, i was in the white house twice meeting with him on these issues. he brought us to the table. this administration, we have none of that. not only do we not get invited to the table, there is no table, because in their eyes, there's no problem. reporter: everything that you guys are doing currency, unfortunately, is reaction airy. >> all reaction airy. absolutely, and it's a mandate on the flowing artery. let's put a band aid, the blood is still flowing. >> the drug problem is not something that we can arrest our way out of. we have to deal with the supply side, and that is doing something about our borders. reporter: are we losing the war right now? >> without a doubt. >> law enforcement is in the battle to the bitter end, but america is losing the battle we are losing this war at the border, we're losing this war in our neighborhood. reporter: so that's the killer quote. we're losing this war and that's because when you think about the illegal immigrants problem and the border crisis people just think about the people, people don't realize the same cartel that is getting the illegal immigrants across the border are the same people doing human trafficking as well as getting those drugs across the border. steve: because the cartels are making money on the people and on the drugs. and our law enforcement is just simply going to process the people coming in, the drugs right over there, nobody is stopping them. reporter: and law enforcement is saying that this is just reactive, that they can't arrest themselves out of this problem they have to go to the source. the dea released a statement saying that about 40% of the drugs now that are out there on the market have fentanyl in it so the chances are if you purchase these drugs illegally, you're probably get some fake stuff. brian: so that's what the president should understand that oh, the border is not my problem, but it's the whole country's problem. if the drug problem gets suburban america. reporter: which is why the sheriff is saying that every state is a border state. ainsley: these kids are taking one little pill. reporter: all it takes is one. ainsley: and then they're dead. reporter: four cops at a local sheriff's office already just dropped like a rock, because they were processing folks, got that fentanyl, dropped just like that. steve: it's so powerful. reporter: thank god they were able to save their lives though. steve: great report. all right, meanwhile, as we continue on, there's the president. he showed us the congressional baseball game last night, and got boo'd. he was probably there to get democrats on board for his agenda, there's a lot of in- fighting and there could be a vote today. brian: senator marco rubio joins us live to talk more than just baseball. he'll react to the president and what's going on behind the scene s to put us in debt forever. >> ♪ guy fieri! ya know, if you wanna make that sandwich the real deal, ya gotta focus on the bread layers. king's hawaiian sliced bread makes everything better! ♪ (angelic choir) ♪ and here's mine! go with simparica trio it's triple protection made simple! simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable that covers heartworm disease, ticks and fleas, round and hookworms. dogs get triple protection in just one simparica trio! this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures. use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio. there's software. protect him wand then there's t. industrial grade software, forged from decades of industrial experience and insights. meet honeywell forge. analytical software that connects assets and people to deliver a cybersecure record of your entire operation. so that everyone, in your boardroom and beyond, speaks the same language. honeywell forge. industrial grade software. >> president biden making an appearance here. ainsley: president biden facing a crowd last night at the congressional baseball game, as his domestic spending plan hangs by a thread. brian: his own party split up the 3.5 trillion spending bill no one thinks it's going to be that high if it pass, it's starting to derail his entire agenda. steve: florida senator marco rubio sits on the appropriations committee joining us from capitol hill. >> good morning. steve: we had our white house correspondent on at the top of the hour who said that joe biden has been working the phone but he's not really whipping the democrats. he's not saying hey, vote for this or vote for that. the 1 trillion or the 3.5 trillion, a democrat from the great state of michigan was just on another morning show and said they don't know what to do because the president is not giving them guidance. vote for this , or vote for that. >> yeah, look i mean, they have an internal party problem. they have these radical left wing nut cases who basically want to, they want to be 7 trillion, not 3.5 trillion and they think that's the compromise , and then you got a handful of people that haven't gone marxist yet who aren't necessarily conservatives or anything of that nature but sort of more normal in their view of what government's role in our country should be so you got this internal fight going on and that's a big problem they have on their hands. look, joe biden doesn't have a base, right? joe biden wasn't elected because he's joe biden. he was elected as a vessel, he's there, because he became sort of an instrument for the far left and now dominates the democratic party to pursue their agenda and that's what they are doing. these guys are acting like they have a 60-70 vote majority in the senate and 60 vote majority in the house and they were elected with some sort of mandate to remake america into a socialist almost marxist type economy and so that's the pushback you're seeing from people that go back home in november and get re-elected and they know they can't run on this ainsley: pan panama's foreign minister very frustrated on what's happening down on the border because she says biden is acting like they are caught off guard, but they warned them a long time ago, she says, that this was going to happen and to be prepared. i know the state of florida is suing the biden administration. how is this affecting you all? tell us what's the status of that lawsuit and what your concerns are for florida? >> well look a lot of the migrants are winding up in florida and my heartbreaks for these people, for example, the haitian community in south florida is an incredible community, and i feel terrible about what what's happening in haiti, but no country can take in 50,000 people at a time like that indiana an unrestricted manner so what's happening is there are between 90,000 and 120,000 migrants from haiti alone in different countries and latin america all desiring to enter the united states and this began back in 2010 when a lot of the countries got rid of visa requirements because they had a bunch of construction jobs so they have been living there this whole time. if you notice a lot of the haitian migrants at the border also spoke spanish because they have been living in chile and places like that but what happens? the jobs dry up and now they say fine we'll go to america, and that's what's happening and so eventually it bottlenecks in panama which is the first country that interacts with them , does testing, biometrics, tests for covid things of this nature and they are telling us, anywhere between 90 and 100,000 immigration migrants just from haiti a alone are headed towards the united states at different stages of migration and the biden administration isn't doing anything about it. brian: and panama an allie, they aren't even talking to their allies trying to help us out and they don't want people migrating through their country en route to ours. meanwhile, look at these ratings for president biden, when it comes to border. he's got 33% approval. so let me ask you, senator. i don't get it. people say, you know, it's dropping precipitously as you see on your screen. people say well they don't care. watt do you mean you don't care? he's lost 20 points in texas. he's lost 20 points when it comes to the border. how does that work to your advantage? >> it doesn't, but you have to understand that and i think sometimes we forget. there is a hard core base in the democratic party which happens to be the people in many cases who knock-on doors, that send them these dollar donations that $50 donations in the mail and by internet that they get to the millions of dollars, these radical activists who don't believe there should be a border they honestly don't. they believe in the free flow of people across borders and that honestly, they say they are formation laws but the truth be told is anyone who wants to come to america should be able to come to america and here is the irony in all this. if you're not vaccinated and you're an american you can get fired and denied access to a restaurant but if you're not vaccinated and you arrive here illegally you get to enter the country and stay. how absurd that is. brian: it's nuts. ainsley: even the border agents we were told yesterday that border agents will be fired if they don't get the vaccination by a certain date. they are down there protecting us. >> again, if i had told anybody 10 years ago these things be happening you'd say that's not true, that's some sort of movie on netflix, but it is. it's happening, ridiculousness after ridiculousness, it's nutty time. that's what's happened here. steve: well it gives us plenty to talk about senator thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you. ainsley: let's check in with our senior meteorologist janice dean for our fox weather forecast out with friends. >> good morning, it's beautiful day here in new york city, and my friend, what's your name? >> jay. >> where are you from? >> cocoa, florida. >> thank you for your service, and marine? >> right. >> i love it and you're here to see me right? >> right. >> oh, hello, what's your wife 's name? >> claudia. >> very nice, hi claudia. what's your name? >> jeff. >> where you are? >> philadelphia area. >> very nice, and? >> frank from tampa, florida. >> all right, from florida, and you're dressed appropriately very nice. let's take a look at the forecast real quick, across the northeast, it's cooler than average, but we like it. that fall-like weather is here across the west. we have the potential for shower s and thunderstorms that's going to move into the central u.s. and bring the potential for heavy rainfall and maybe some flash flooding, so that's going to be the concern as we go through next couple of days. you know otherwise not too much to report, we do have a hurricane out there, sam, it's not going to affect us and again that heavy rainfall will bring the potential for some flash flooding. thank you so much for coming, will you say hi to steve, ainsley and brian? >> steve, good morning, ainsley , good morning, we watch you every morning. ainsley: good morning, thank you >> we love you thank you. steve: thank you. ainsley: brian no mention. brian: that's okay! ainsley: they all love you. that's right our own pete hegseth joined greg gutfeld as part of this week's special show live in nashville. >> back home in minnesota they call him the original hot dish, and he's two kids away from a starting lineup, there we go, fox & friends weekend co-host pete hegseth. >> [applause] brian: [laughter] he's actually accurate. he's got a lot of kids. greg gutfeld is hosting his hit show in music city all week long , some call it nashville, and pete is hosting fox nation's third annual patriot a awards november 17 at 8:00 eastern time at the hard rock live theatre in hollywood, florida. this makes it official. steve: we would love to have you in attendance. tickets are on sale at foxnation .com/patriot awards. plus, we'll also be there, fox & friends taking the show on the road for a couple of shows so you'll be able to see us, and all your fox favorites, live. brian: and we will be ushers. we're going to be seating people ainsley: oh, are we?

>> i think that it's like any other thing. you either change or die. steve: change or die, jay leno, on how he's changing his act, because of political correctness ainsley: the pc police but first let's check in with bill hemmer. bill: you guys take dana and me with you on the road? ainsley: absolutely. bill: she's tiny, she doesn't need a lot of room. steve: you want to be an usher? bill: i'll curl up in a little ball and we'll go with you. thank you, guys great show today and good morning. big day we're going to learn a lot about the biden agenda, stay tuned for that, and also, congressman michael waltz and the threat from al qaeda we learned of the hearings of the last two days, karl rove and the real cost of 3.5 trillion, plus, general kellogg, ted williams, senator ben sas, come join dana and me in 11 minutes see you then, top of the hour. ♪♪ i thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... ...me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there for her. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for people with crohn's disease. the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief in as little as 4 weeks. and many achieved remission that can last. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. ♪♪ baaam. internet that doesn't miss a beat. that's cute, but my internet streams to my ride. adorable, but does yours block malware?

in football, you have certain rules and when the rules change, if you don't conform to them, you're out of the game. you have to change them for the times you live in. my attitude is look, these are the new rules. you want to doubt, if you don't, fine, don't. ainsley: the only way to survive is to change, he says, here to react is fox & friends weekend co-host will cain. hey, will. will: good morning. ainsley: what's your reaction? will: you know, my reaction is that i disagree with jay leno for two obvious reasons. first of all i thought comedy was about breaking rules. i thought it was about rebellion i thought about speaking truth to power when everything else tells you, you have to conform that was my perception of what comedy is, not following the rules, but secondarily, he's wrong because cancel culture is not simply about making people follow certainly politically correct rules that might change with time. it's applied retroactively, so whatever the changing society are, whatever we decided to, the game of cancel culture is to go back then into history, and find anyone that offended today 's rules, it's not simply who said something going forward it's let's dig through kyler murray's tweets when he wins the heisman trophy and let's look at a comedy act from 1990s and find out if it offends today's fragile sensibility. jay leno, were he really active right now, be destined for cancellation. steve: you never know. now, will, he said those things on a podcast. today is international podcast day, and by the way, will cain has got a podcast available at foxnewspodcast.com. a lot of people are looking for things to listen to, and your podcasts are very thought provoking. tell the folks how you figure out each day, what you're going to podcast. will: well here's what we do i have three podcasts a week, monday, wednesday, friday, people can download that at apple, spotify, fox news podcast and here's what i do, steve we'll turn to brian in a moment, and ask how he talks three hours a day, but i think of my three big stories so epidemic are episode what i want to share is my three big stories we should be focusing on and i often will slip one or two sports stories in there but i'm talking about politics and talking about culture and things that i think in many places, steve, are not getting enough attention, for fear of not cancellation but censorship when it comes to covid or race or politics or the dallas cowboys. steve: and talk at length which is great. ainsley: there is the site at the bottom of your screen. foxnewspodcast.com. there are a lot of fox personalities on there. will: that's right. clay travis for one hour. steve: will, thank you very much brian: and rachel has one, podcast. steve: there are a bunch of them check it out. steve: we're going to step aside , back in a minute. >> brian, don't leave this room. you'll be live from this room tonight on prime time. >> 7:00 and 9:00:06. no naps. >> bill: good morning, it is 9:00 a.m. on the east coast but zero hour for democrats. the president's trillion dollar spending bill now on the brink of possible failure and crunch time has it seldom looked like this. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: good morning. i'm dana perino. a pickle of their own making. the most one on their plate is raising the debt ceiling so america can actually pay its bills. >> bill: you have government spending. you have the infrastructure bi
