suicide bombers. we are hours away from president biden evacuation deadline tomorrow. there are hundreds, could be thousands of americans that are going to be left behind in afghanistan. the state department has made a decision that the 31st is the deadline. they re allowing taliban to dictate our foreign policy. any time you allow a partisan political decision designed for a photo op, it will lead to a fatal national security problem on the battlefield injury. jillian: it is the start to another bees week. you re watching fox & friends first. i m jillian mele. todd: i m todd piro. we begin with hurricane ida, a failing the flood gate and bridge collapsed forcing hundreds of residents begging to be rescued. jillian: we have team coverage with steve bender on the ground in lafayette, louisiana and senior meteorologist janice dean tracking the storm in the studio. we start with jeff paul live from new orleans where the entire city is out of power this morning. jeff, what s
the president seeing this. but i think some of his top aides have tried to tamp down expectations. you heard from a top climate adviser saying that they know other leaders know that the u.s. is headed in the right direction on climate and other aides, including the national security adviser saying these world leaders understand domestic politics as well. the president had a clear message at the g7 several months ago. america is back, he said. can the same message still resonate on this trip? i think it s being challenged a little bit, jake. we ll see how these world leaders receive the president. you saw how the french president responded to president biden after the diplomatic feud they had over that scuttled submarine deal about six weeks ago. so warned publicly they had a pretty frank discussion with cameras in the room. but it s a broader scale. not just saying america is back. when that happened with the french deal, the french were likening president biden to former
