really significant storm surge potential. this is similar, 10, 12 plus feet of storm surge that could happen in some of those areas. the storm surge is not something -- you're not going to win that battle if you decide to stay, stayed behind for that. >> you heard the governor talking about cedar key. we'll talk to two residents that have decided for the time being to stay put. first to steve harrigan. he's live for us in dunedin, florida. steve? >> that's, people lining up to make sand bags, scrambling in the last hours to try to protect their homes. that storm is a category one. winds of 80 miles per hour. it's expected to increase in strength over the warm water in the gulf and get to a category three. that is a lot of numbers. when you're talking about 120 miles per hour winds, that is big enough to create traffic jacks and knock out electricity. in parts of florida that could get hit, they're thinking of the big bend area. it could be real trouble. not just from the wind but from a storm surge of anywhere from 8 to 12 feet. you heard the governor warn people on cedar key, that is an extremely dangerous area at this point. it's one of the many counties under mandatory evacuation. not everybody is listening to the warnings. >> you're stay something. >> yeah. stevens. >> two of you? >> yeah, and a dog. >> getting the names to know who to look for in case they go missing. you get the sense that things are shutting down in florida. they shut down more than 30 school districts. tampa airport is closed. they're getting ready for what is ahead. 25,000 power workers on the ground already. this morning, the state ready to restore electricity. they're bearing down now for what could be a major category three storm. trace, back to you. >> steve harrigan live in florida. back to you as the news warrants. let's bring in hannah healey, owner of the prickly palm restaurant and a clam farmer and play wright. both are in cedar key, which steve was talking about. the governor says they're under a mandatory evacuation order. both have decided not to leave for now. michael, to you first. you say you're going to ride this out. anything in the coming hours that might change your mind at all, sir? >> i mean, possibly. category four or five storm that is completely unsurvivable might change my mind. i want to make it clear. everyone else should leave. part of the reason why i'm staying, i have elderly neighbors. there's lots of folks that are refusing to leave. some folks are in a that can't help themselves during the height of the storm and after the storm. i feel a responsibility to stay and help them. the major and i and others are going to hole up in episcopal church. we will be safe there and will rapid deploy when the conditions are safe. this is a once in five generation storm. if you can leave, please leave. >> yeah, it's confusing. when you say, please leave. it's noble that you're staying to help your neighbors. i want to go to hannah. why are you stay something for the time being, i know you own a coffee shop there why would you decide -- the mandatory evacuation, the time limit is at 4:00 east coast time, which is in 56 minutes from right now. >> i think as a business owner, it's hard to work away from something that you poured your blood, sweat and tears in to. this coffee shop is something that i opened during covid and i poured every single penny i had in to it. so it's really hard to walk away from. b >> that's the thing. at least you can walk away. you don't know what the storm will do. it's a big risk. i know your business. the concept of not being able to walk away is a real possibility in these types of situations. >> yes. >> i think we lost hannah's feet there. back to you, michael. we'll show the pictures of some of the people of cedar key preparing for the storm. are you helping them? do they have what they need for the time being, michael? >> we do. and by and large, the vast majority of people are leaving. cedar key is a special place. we live and work in close quarters with the gulf. so we understand some of the risks. for me, a decision was that my neighbors and the people that are staying will need help. that was more important to me than my immediate safety. i'm going to take every possible precaution. my mom is watching tv right now scared out of her mind that i'm going to be here. we're going to be holed up in a stone church. we're going to do what we can to help the folks that they get themselves in to a predicament. i don't think this is a wise course of action overall. i think people ought to leave. sometimes in life, you have to draw a line in the sand and say this is what i stand for. i'm going to help my neighbors. >> i want to go back to hannah. we talked about the fact that you want to preserve, stay with your business. we get that. are you concerned if this thing is a strong category three, possible a category four, that would get you up and out? is that a fair assessment? >> yes, that's a fair assessment. i'm sitting here watching the rain roll in. there's a few spots on the island that once the water come on the road, it's time to get out. it's just not safe. >> yeah, in these situations, both for hannah and michael, we've covered these for many, many years. it's a water event. the wind is something in a category three. this is water. this is water pushing up. you just cannot get away from the water. michael, do you have a plan b in case the water gets higher than you anticipate? >> i do. there are certain checkpoints at which i'll leave. i'm set up high on a hill. the church is high on a hill. you're right. we've never had the amount of water and storm surge that is predicted for this storm. the even great cedar key hurricane of 1896 is half of what is predicted for today. and i live 1 1/2 blocks from the water on either side. the water is the deadly concern here. i promise, at some point, we'll high-tail it out of here. i believe i have a good plan in place to stay and help the folks that just aren't prepared. >> what about you, hannah? do you have a plan b? are you on high enough ground to withstand what you may be about to face? >> fortunately, yes. right now i'm in a condo that is fema regulations. that's always a potential. or else i will head inland. i took every item of value out of my business about five hours ago. it was trailered inland. so all of my valuable equipment, maybe i need to get off the island, too. >> michael is in the church. your condo is on the ocean, hannah. probably not the best place to ride this thing out. so maybe you talked to michael and you get in that church in some way. >> come on over. >> best of luck to you. we'll be watching this as the hours go by, including tonight when this thing is spiced to hit on fox news at night. the pentagon defending the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan. watch. >> u.s. military commanders on the ground in afghanistan made decisions that they could with the information that they had at the time. they were fully given -- they were given the decision-making capability and were responding to threats on the ground in real time. so we're very proud of the work that our commanders and service members did not during just the evacuation and in those few weeks but over the 20-year war. >> a new book claims that president biden wondered if he did something wrong after the kabul airport attack that killed these 13 service members. sherry rex lost her son in the abbey gate bombing and sharing her message for the president next. >> going through that and knowing that those killed and wounded were notice short of heros today that day, imagine how all of those families feel when we see an administration, military leadership and politicians, first response, how can we spin this, how can we limit our damage. she knew that i always want to know more about my family history. with ancestry i dug and dug until i found some information. i was able to find out more than just a name. and then you add it to the tree. i found ship manifests. birth certificate. wow. look at your dad. i love it so much to know where my father work, where he grew up. it's like you discover a new family member. discover even more at ancestry.com [sneeze] (♪) astepro allergy, steroid free allergy relief that starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. with astepro's unbeatably fast allergy relief you can astepro and go! our ears connect us to the moments that matter. give them the nutrients they need with lipo. it's formulated with ingredients clinically shown to protect your ears from dizziness, ear ringing, and even hearing loss. never miss a moment with lipo flavonoid. i tried to put my arm around any vet that i can. absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. i think the veteran out there needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is your eligibility for a va loan, which that you buy a home with no down payment. now, there's no reason to rent when you can own. helping veterans buy homes. that's newday usa. wealth-changing question -- are you keeping as much of your investment gains as possible?

maybe i should have handled that differently. sheryl rex's son was killed in the kabul attack. she and other gold star family members were meeting in washington today and she will join us in just a moment. first to aishah hasnie live for us on capitol little. aishah, good afternoon. >> trace, good afternoon to you. two years later, many of the gold star families still do believe the president did something wrong. here's the message to them. >> several presidents preceded mr. biden in this 20-year war. none of them are to be aheld accountable for the withdrawal. that is he and he alone, that -- he has that burden. >> the pentagon said today u.s. military commanders on the ground made the best decisions, provided the best military advice based on what was known at the time. the attack was not preventible, they say, without degrading the mission to compromise a number of evacuees. >> general mark milley weighing in saying if there were any issues with how pentagon briefers updated the families, that should be corrected. these parents say that that is not the problem here. >> the issue is not the lack of information during those briefings. it's a disregard of intelligence. it's the disregard of planning. that's what you should be apologizing for. >> one thing that we haven't seen from all of the statements that were released, the briefing the pentagon had, trace, an apology to the parents. >> trace: thanks, aishah hasnie. sheryl rex's son was killed in the kabul attack. she just stepped out of the meeting with the lawmakers. we're grateful to have you on. i want to know what you think of this book claiming the president's second guessed the withdrawal. >> i questioned his ability to begin with. when he approached us, he wasn't very thoughtful. if he's second guessing himself, i'm not sure what else he would be second guessing. why he's questioning himself. >> trace: it's interesting. i know you were in the hearing and you heard from one of the gold star families saying it wasn't about the information. i want to read this quote, this is from mark milley. he said quoting today to jennifer griffin, i trust the army, navy and marine corps did the best they could in briefing the families that had loved ones killed at abbey gate. i believe the briefers gave every piece of information that they could. do you believe that all the forks was there or do you agree with other families that it wasn't about the information. it was about the warnings that were ignored? >> me personally, he did not -- the brief report was not correct. they changed my son's location a couple of times. they were trying to accommodate his wounds that were not in the right spot of his body according to the autopsy report. he did not -- the brief report is nothing what we were actually told. i don't believe that they had any -- it was made up. i feel it was made-up stories that they were trying to cover up the wounds. >> trace: yeah. is it frustrating for you? i'm going to play sound from admiral john kirby. the pentagon spokesman at the time. is it frustrating that they continue to maintain what admiral kirby said on august 17? watch. >> pulling out of afghanistan was the right decision for our national security. we're not bogged down in a war in afghanistan. we have freed up resources and manpower to be prepared for other national security concerns. that war is over. it should have been ended and the mission for which the troops were sent there had been accomplished. >> they continue to defend pulling out of afghanistan. but they never actually defend the chaotic withdrawal and what happened at abbey gate. is it frustrating for you to not get at least some concessions if not a full-out apology? >> it's very frustrating. it's heart breaking. it's very heart breaking for everybody out there. all who served. they served with all of their heart. they were doing an amazing job trying to save as many lives as they could. for their discredit and nonhonorable situations, i don't feel that is correct. a mother of two marines. i feel that honor is held to a higher level. this is not honor. >> trace: yeah, you're right. the marine corps is all about honor, truth and facing things that you did wrong. you said president biden disrespected your son and the 12 others that were killed at abbey gate. is there something the president could have done, could still do to give you at least some semblance of comfort? >> what he could have done is not talk about his son when it was about my son and the other 12 on that day. i have never spoken to him since. he's refused to speak with us. he does not have any -- he could call me. i have a phone number. he could call me. i'm not sure what he could do at this point. honor them, say their names. talked about them. man up and talk about your failures that you held in afghanistan. >> trace: yeah. that is a fair request. i know it's still painful for year two years to the day. the best of luck to you and your family. we apologize and hope the hearings at least give you some information to go forward. thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: meantime donald trump now facing a series of court dates in campaign season. why the packed schedule presents an unnecessary and unfair situation for the former president. he's next. providing for your family is a top priority. but what happens when you need affordable health care?

>> it's a fair point. it's not clear which of these trials could occur before the election. what is clear, it's going to be hard for all of them to occur before the election. look, for the record, i thought that the date put forward by the special counsel and the biden and trump campaign were equally ridiculous. i agree with the court that when they rejected both dates. what i don't understand is why the court shoe-horned this date right before super tuesday. she had to make a trip to new york to see if they would give a little in moving their date back, which is about 20 days later. each of these trials is going to take weeks. the question is why is it so necessary to daisy-chain these trials before the election. there's due process issues for the defense. but there are at some point. in one case alone, you have 12 million documents that the defense will have to review. they're required ethically to review those documents. so these judges are asking those defense lawyers increasingly to do the impossible if they're going to do all of these trials before the election. >> trace: you wrote on messenger, some of the defendants say the framing of the case may be greater threat than the crimes. collective prosecution can encourage a jury to meet out collective punishment. they want to paint all of the defendants with the same brush that is more difficult if they're tried separately or in small groups. clearly much easier to paint with a broad brush than individually. >> well, i think willis is fighting hard to try to get that mass trial with 19 people in the courtroom. but it's beginning to look less likely that she'll do that. some of these defendants want an early trial. they're not going to wave their speedy trial protection. others are trying to move the cases co federal court. there's fracturing there. the willis indictment has some strong claims in it. some individuals charged with acts that will be very difficult. they're all held together with this very loose broad conspiracy, this racketeering theory that she put together that allows her to bring in all of these individuals. i think it's beginning to break down. we saw in the hearing with meadows how weak some of the linkages are. he denied two of the major allegations against him. he denied it under oath and said they did not occur. >> trace: it is. it's one of those things where you have a lot of different lawyers that are going after these things. i want this up. i don't have much time. these indictments, from truth social. the former president. necessary indictments are part of my political opponent's campaign plan. it's election interference and they will use the doj and fbi to help them, which is illegal. crooked joe pushed this to get it done. it's a new low in presidential politics. to the democrats, i say be careful what you wish for. a lot of people have said the same thing, this sets a brand new present and a new way to move forward for other presidents. >> yeah, trace, i still don't think it's a good idea for the president to ratchet up the rhetoric here. i think we're going to have a fight in these courts over the extent to which he's commenting on the cases. but this is going to get heated and it's going to get heated very fast. >> trace: professor, thank you for your time. thank you. >> thanks, trace. >> trace: marc thiessen, kay pavlich and richard fowler are getting more concerned about the president's age. and the democratic governors lining up to succeed him. >> this is something that the white house, the biden campaign cannot avoid. it is a reality. even democrats that like joe biden and plan to support him do have concerns about his age. savh liberty mutual, mom. they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. you could save $700 dollars just by switching. ooooh, let me put a reminder on my phone. on the top of the pile! oh. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy?

>> yeah, trace. good afternoon. clearwater beach, mandatory evacuations in place right now. take a look out there at the gulf of mexico. there are still people trying to get their last moments of paradise here. there's surfers there. in the distance, what you might see are the outer bands. we just got the first squalls that came in. this storm is well south of off, off of naples and fort myers area. this will make its way up here, expected to be a category three storm as it will make landfall on the big bend sometimes very early tomorrow morning. this is going to get rocking soon. it will be a hostile environment here on this beach. it's mandatory evacs. local officials say get out of the flood zones. many people are moving to an area to get away from the storm surge. where i'm standing right now could be up to seven feet of storm surge pushing in from the gulf of mexico over walls like this, in to parking lots and on to roads. it will get dangerous overnight very soon, this will be a hostile environment in the coming hours. many folks need to get off of this barrier island by sunset, trace. we're awaiting idalia. it will be a monster. >> trace: thanks, robert. we'll get back to you as the news warrants. thank you. president biden facing tough poll numbers on his age. he's 80 years old. 77% of americans say he's too old to effectively serve another term. in the a.p. survey, former president trump is only three years younger, but just 51% say that he is too old for a second term. democrats are apparently starting to realize that this is a real issue. >> yeah, i was -- i had this conversation with a few senior democrats. they acknowledge that as much as they don't like to talk about it publicly, they know the president's age is an issue. it's a legitimate concern for voters. >> trace: let's bring in marc thiessen, former speechwriter for george w. bush and washington post columnist. katie pavlich and richard follow, fox news contributors. welcome to the three of you. we showed the overall numbers, which are telling, you know. i want to break them down by party. do you think biden is too old effectively? 69%, richard. we talk about this all the time. that is a big number when you're talking about just democrats regardless of the poll. 69% is a big number. >> trace: there's no question this is a big number. i don't think this is a good poll if you ask folks in the biden campaign. in this poll, you also find that 82% of democrats say they would vote for joe biden if he ends up becoming the nominee, which looks likely. what you'll see the biden campaign down here as we get closer and closer to election day and republicans begin to get into their primary season, you'll see him pivot to kitchen table issues. one thing that they can celebrate today, they enter negotiations on prescription drugs issues. there's ten drugs that they will negotiate on to make them cheaper, this will bring down the cost of drugs for billions for seniors. that is where you'll see this pivot happen. he will talk about kitchen table issues and less about his age. >> trace: i don't know, katie. go deeping into the a.p. poll, what is the first order of phrase that comes to mind when you think of joe biden. this number is big when you talk about these things. put them together. none of these comments are good. it's 49% of the poll. the number one is 26% say the first thing that comes to mind is old, out dated, senile, dementia when you're talking about the current president of the united states, katie. >> president joe biden's month of august doesn't help him with that perception given that he spent most of the time lounging on to the beach and then going to lake tahoe and deciding to go to maui in between. it's not an age issue. it's a capability issue. president joe biden, democrats are showing that they're very worried about his ability to go out and sell his agenda and sell his ability to be president for another four years. when it comes to this pivot to prescription drugs, let's talk about inflation and how americans are paying $700 more per month right now than they were a year ago. that is something that hurts seniors more than any cost than we. have it's a tax on everybody. this is why you're seeing republican candidates like nikki haley talking about running against kamala harris, not running against joe biden because even democrats admit that he might not make it to a second term. if he does, he may be turning over the reins to her eventually. >> trace: on katie's point, it's interesting. while he's on vacation, he gets in less trouble. he gets off the beach and they ask him about a -- he has no comment. he goes to maui. just absolutely obliterates the news conference there. not in his favor. so it's one of those things where every kind of time that he approaches the media, there is some type of scandal. >> that's why he's going back to the basement campaign, which is how he won the first time. if joe biden -- in americans thought joe biden was doing a good job, nobody would care if he has a stiff gait or can't answer a question well on the stage. if inflation was low and the economy was humming and the world was peaceful, you know, it's all the disasters that he's unleashed on the country that exacerbate the concern about his age and mental fitness. job is the least popular american president since the end of world war ii. except for jimmy carter and donald trump, this is the problem that joe biden has. if you look at the -- there was a poll that showed that if you take people that disapprove of joe biden and also disapprove of donald trump, who do they vote for? joe biden crushed trump by 54 to 15%. so the swing voters that dislike joe biden who are concerned about his age, think he's incompetent dislike donald trump even more. so that's the problem. as long as trump looks like he's heading to the nominee, the democrats won't push joe biden out. it's only if the republicans were to start choosing somebody else that they would think about biden's ability to win the election. >> trace: on that note, this is the wall street journal. the race to succeed president biden is heating up in the 2024 campaign. high profile governors are unlikely to cede the stage to kamala harris. what do you think of that statement from the "wall street journal," katie? >> look, kamala harris didn't even get to the first round of voting when she ran for president the last time around when she called joe biden a racist on the debate stage. so democrats are not going to allow her to walk away with it. gavin newsome has been chomp at the bit. he's going after ron desantis on florida state policies. you have to governor of illinois also getting in line to possibly throw his hat in the ring. the same time, the dnc is circling the wagons around biden and not allowing any opponents to get in. >> trace: 20 second for each of you. richard? >> i don't think anybody is worried about 2028. folks are concerned about 2024. if that is what is in the front window, to mark's point in a race between donald trump and joe biden, joe biden would be ahead. i think that -- there-in lie as problem for republicans. they have to figure out what they're running on and not against joe biden. >> trace: final thoughts. >> joe biden would be 86 at the end of the second term. there's a 40% chance that kamala harris would be president by the end of the second term. not a good look for them. >> trace: marc thiessen, richard fowler, katie pavlich, thank you. >> thanks. >> trace: a new national security threat caught at the southern border. a smuggler with reported ties to isis sent the feds scrambling next. >> how is it possible that an isis sympathizer is sneaking people in this country?

how do you achieve the list that you're talking about while you're not president if you're running up against this kind of wall? this is july 26, the homeland security secretary in congress. watch. >> our republican colleagues claim the boreder is open. is it open, mr. secretary? >> no, it is not. >> trace: if alejandro mayorkas keep saying the boreder is not open, we know the borders have been open 32 months, it's hard to get something accomplished. >> that's why he needs to be fired, right? that's why we need to kick joe biden and that office out of office. the fact that the border czar, kamala harris, thinks coming to a tacoria is a border visit is insane to me. stop treating people as an asylum seeker. stop treating the traffickers and treating fentanyl as a weapon of mass deinstruction, that requires no congressional action. it's all steps that the executive branch can take themselves. that's why we need new leadership in this area. that's one of the reasons why i'm running for congress. if your viewers think i'm on the right path and they want more experience on the border than everybody else combined, go to hurdforamerica.com. >> trace: miami mayor, francis suarez has dropped out. he's dropped out. your numbers were similar. is your campaign going forward? >> we're going forward. we're working hard. i've been in the race the least amount of time in a place like new hampshire. i'm tied with nikki haley and vice president pence. both people that have higher name i.d. than i do and spent tens of millions of dollars. so what i'm learning is people want someone to talk about issues of the future and want someone that answers border security. i'm full steam ahead and looking to see my friends along the border and understand the things that are keeping us safe, when they need. >> trace: will hurd, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> trace: why some kids struggling with pandemic learning loss may now have a teacher that is not in their classroom, but instead is thousands of miles away. >> the hardest thing is to come back after months of not doing any work, homework and all of a sudden, you have a lot to make up, everybody has a lot to catch up. m the team mascot, and boy, am i running late. but i've got lead in my foot and spirit in my fingers. woo! ha ha what a hit! and if you have cut rate car insurance the cost to cover that, might tank your season. so, get allstate and be better protected from mayhem... like me. (laughing) woo! ancestry made it really easy to learn about my family's history. finding military information, newspaper articles, how many people were living in the house and where it was, makes me curious and keeps pulling me in and the photos reminding me of what life must have been like for them. finding out new bits of information about the family has been a wonderful experience, it's an important part of understanding who we are. veteran homeowners. if you're on a fixed income, inflation can hit you extra hard, especially if you're using high rate credit cards to take care of your family's expenses. even minimum payments are tough. it's too much and it's time to hit back. with a newday 100 va loan, you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value to pay off those high rate credit cards and other debt. and you can save $500 a month. that's $6,000 a year. >> trace: as kids go back to school, the teachers may not be in the classroom. not because of covid but some districts are stealing with staff shortages so they're turning to virtual teachers. lydia hu is live with more. good afternoon. >> hi, trace. that's right. government data shows almost half of public schools were not fully staffed last year. now some schools are hiring virtual teachers to fill the void. here's what that looks like. this is a middle school classroom. you can see there's a teacher's aide on the left side. the instructor appears virtually. watch. >> let me know in the chat box, do you want to be a gold miner? yes or no to that question. harmony says no. because i want to be a teacher. i love it, harmony. >> the company behind this is called proximity. they have seen demand for virtual teaching services are growing. education week says that proximity learning deployed 295 virtual teachers across the country in the 20-21 school year. in one year, the number nearly tripled to 868 virtual teachers. an estimated payments to proximity are growing, too. data from gov spend that data proximity is up. proximity's core learning position certified phis teachers especially for underserved students. trace, as you can imagine, some parents are concerned about the quality of education. the school district down in charleston, south carolina, it used virtual teachers last year. according to local reports, it's going back to teachers in the classroom this year and rewarding those in-person teachers with bonuses. back to you. >> trace: that's it. i'd be worried as well. thanks, lydia. i want to take your attention back to the map. we're watching hurricane idalia. it is right now a category one hurricane. by landfall, which the national hurricane center center estimates may be in the big bend somewhere around 2:00, 3:00, maybe 4:00 a.m. east coast time. it could be a cat 3 at landfall. it's not really wind they're worried about. it's the storm surge, which could be historic. we have the very latest on this coming up. that's "the story." i'll see you back here for fox news at night. "your world" right now. >> storm surge could reach 8 to 12 feet in some areas. that would be life threatening. >> need to get you and your family, businesses, employees ready now. the time is now. >> people are freaking out obviously. everyone is here to get gas. >> this one looks like it's a biggie. >> a little concern. it's coming fast. >> the last storm it flooded up to that blue railing. so that was the six foot surge. if we get an eight or ten foot surge,
