comprehensive review in what is now the fifth deadliest fire in u.s. history. fox weather correspondent max gordon has more for us. no official reason why the fire started, the finger is being pointed at hawaiian electric. they kept electricity on amid high fire and wind danger. they are focused on restoring power in the affected areas. the governor of hawaii ordering an investigation into why the fires started. take a listen. >> i've authorized an extensive review. we will build back together and find out what we could have done to prevent such loss of life and bringing the government to alleviate suffering. >> the local government here

limiting access to the town of lahaina, devastated by fire, saying it is unsafe and they are recovering bodies, in one case, entire family of four identified as victims. curfew is in place running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with access limited to residents and people with hotel residervations. buildings were destroyed, many houses, so many people without homes, the need is immense and people need shelter. i'm heartbroken over this and i know you are, too, everything i have seen transpire over past couple days and everything that continues hour by hour and minute by minute, it is heartbreaking. >> meanwhile, the death toll continues to rise and hundreds remain missing. people are urged to provide

d.n.a. swabs so loved ones can be identified. back to you. >> carley: thank you so much. bring in ariel, who lived in maui and was able to escape the fireand now out and safe. good morning to you. several days later now, tell us what people are going through in maui, who were affected by this? >> well, it is terrible. there is a lot of people still missing. i think the toll is way higher than what they can prove right now. i went to lahaina town two days ago and saw my home that is like a miracle, my home is virtually without any damage. but all the buildings in front burned down, cannot see anything, melted anluminum on

cars, ashes, building went down. can see the laundry dryer and the stove and water heater, that's only thing standing and that is only thing standing, not even the fridge is standing. >> ashley: awful to hear thchl video we were playing alongside of you, in the video you sent us yourself. do you feel you had enough warning when this unfolded? we spoke to a couple state reps last weekend and they said there were red flag warnings but a lot of people didn't know what those meant and how serious it was. do you feel there was enough warning for you guys to get out? >> it is very complex. in my experience, when i had to leave my house, the first warning for me was highway and like 5 in the morning.

i wake up, i went to my system on the patio because there was no water running, too many leaves on top of the water. i tried to fix my home, i went back to sleep, i didn't sleep well because of noise of the wind. i woke up and took while to find something to eat with my wife. it was huge line in safeway, no refrigeration, everything was closed in the food area and still huge line. we decide to leave safeway and went to eat tacos and i took a nap because i didn't sleep well. after i took a nap, i feel like outside of the house was commotion. i went outside and saw my neighbors like00 i don't know, like everybody was nervous

because wind was very strong. it was like more than 80 mile winds. and very short after we start seeing smoke and then some neighbors start like grabbing their stuff in cars and i say what is going on, we just like putting things in our car in case they decide we need to leave. everything happened very fast. some point, i start seeing heavy wind and black smoke approach into the house. i said to my wife, start grabbing our stuff and try to leave. i was able to grab my cats. i am a painter and i grabbed my paintings. i have commissioned paintings i was trying to save from the fire. i 245u9 thought my home was

going to get on fire, too. incredible part, when we were leaving, they start telling us to evacuate the area and there was commotion and traffic at the beginning and people start leaving their cars and escaping with their babies and luggage or whatever they were carrying and they were like running from their cars and as you can see in the images that you can see in lahaina, the area more busy and historic all -- burned, a lot there. i am sure there is a lot of people in buildings that never knew there was a fire coming. >> carley: so much need in hawaii and for everybody watching, you can help victims by joining the red cross donation drive to donate scan the qr code on the screen or head to redcross.org/foxforward.

make sure the money gets in the rights hands. thank you for joining us. >> ashley: turn to meteorologist adam klotz, it ep coos getting worse and worse. >> adam: it does. guests are talking about the howling winds. that is the case when you talk about big fires, most deadly wildfire in the last 100 years is the maui wildfire. you think about the santa ana fires. we saw wind up to 80 to 82 mile per hour. 50 to 60's, 70 mile winds have driven this. currently, calmer wind and temperatures 70 to 75 degrees, rain off and on, not showers that are going to put out

remaining wildfires. winds have calmed down, you are seeing five to ten miles per hour and up to 18 miles per hour. it has been windier there on the western side because wind is forced up over the mountains and ush ared down dryer on the other side. look at the forecast, winds 10 to 20 to 30 mile per hour. significantly less than the other day. cause concern continue to battle the wildfires, ultimately, there is rain on the way over next seven days. any sort of rain would be good news, tough for clean of had up efforts, there are a couple fires on the island they need to battle. moisture is good. >> carley: thank you, we appreciate it. it is hard to be a business owner these days, look at this, 50 thieves ransacked that nordstrom, stealing merchandise.

>> ashley: house republicans are tearing into the biden administration proposed agreement with iran to release five jailed americans in exchange for $6 billion and imprisoned iranians. >> we have to go in eyes wide open, $6 billion to iran to prop up their terror operation. >> in this instance, administration is signalling this is part of iran enrichment program, that is concerning to congress. >> ashley: iran moved five iranian americans from prison to house arrest in exchange for the money. final transfer of the money and release of the detainees is expected within the next month.

>> carley: a new book about the withdrawal from afghanistan. in kabul, untold story of biden's fiasco and american warriors who fought to the end. one unnamed officer said i shared information so everyone was aware and knew it was happening. it was assessed it would be abbey gate due to the number of people there. bryan stern co-founded project dynamo. he is currently in hawaii helping to evacuate people. wherever there is need, bryan will go. one former doj reporter and the other veteran of the afghanistan war helped you and claimed u.s. military command knew isis-k was planning to launch suicide

attack at kabul airport and asked taliban for permission to conduct a strike to take attackers out, but the taliban denied request and command abided by the taliban wishing. we abided and this is what took place. >> bryan: yeah, i think i have not seen the intelligence, it is hard to make an assess mean what they knew and didn't, based offlet book and what is indicated about what is in the book. it is incredible damming. it is crazy to say that the taliban are partner in the global war on terrorism somehow doesn't make a whole lot of

sense. if intelligence existed, ground commanders should have done things to address the threat or mitigate the threat. a lot of things could have happened, could have pushed the perimeter. this was done at kabul international airport and tehran did not lend itself to that. that is why the u.s. withdrawal to afghanistan was a mess from the moment it started. the place where this went down was the wrong place and leading to lots of people in very uncontrolled environment with not really even a perimeter, certainly not a layer of defense to taliban providing layer of defense by, with and for the americans somehow. none of that is the right

answer. >> carley: there is testimony marine sergeant vargas says he saw the suicide bomber, asked for permission to take him out and his request was ignored. listen to this. >> intel guys confirmed suicide bomber in vicinity of abbey gate, confirmed suspect met suicide bomber description, we reassured him and asked for engagement authority and permission and asked if we could shoot. our battalion commander said, and i quote, i don't know, end of quote. >> carley: testimony from march, whose decision was it to fail to act on the warnings? not a single person has been fired, despite this horrific failure. there are questions that the same people remain in place today and could something like this happen again. >> something like this won't

happen again. we were not doing things like this anymore. we are evacuating embassies leaving americans behind at clip of 100 every six months, between ukraine, afghanistan, sudan and who knows what is next. from a decision-making perspective, that is chain of command issue, but real thing to understand from the soldier perspective of the marine on the tower perspective, there needs to be unbroken and well established chain of command from him to give lethal authority. that is why he's in the tower in the first place. he requested permission from the chain and the chain did not know who to get permission from and therefore the decision-making process fails. it is okay to be told to do

something, okay to be told no, but a decision has to be made and decision-making authority from the perspective of the soldier in the tower, marine in the tower, has to be clear especially in situations like this that are extremely complicated dynamic, fluid and very dangerous from the extent 13 americans and 183 americans were killed. >> carley: two years later and the wound is still fresh. leaving americans behind, which is what is happening right now in various areas across the world, is not the answer either. bryan stern, project dynamo co-founder and veteran, we appreciate it. we have the brand-new response is hunter biden's team. >> ashley: and highly

to public disclosure of the plea and aversion agreement. last month the judge rejected the agreement and set separately for separate gun charge. prosecution dropped the deal completely, days after david weiss was granted special counsel status, indicating the case weiss has long investigated could go to trial. lawyers for hunter biden say that is not inevitable. >> if this prosecutor does what has been done for five years, facts, evidence and law, conclusion what the conclusion was on july 26th. no new echsdz evidence to be founded. >> some feared one would get into the way of house investigation into the family. this is the same attorney who investigated the sweetheart deal, that doesn't sit right

people coming together, bonding together in agreement with one another and taking our constitutional rights and stand up for what we believe is our community and we have a say in how we live and what goes on and what doesn't go on here. we bound together and started taking steps six months ago in various ways to stand up against us. >> ashley: we've shown outrage from locals about how this would happen. you guys pulled it off, hats off to you. laurie, you said this is far from over, what did you mean by that? >> we've got a small win here. it was because we didn't get help from michigan issue but called federal federal epa in and they got back some of the

acres of land bought up by the ccp. what will that do for the future of america itself? >> this is a national disgrace on behalf of the president and the way he's handled the china land grab. i would like to say thank you to folks standing up and speaking out against this issue in michigan. this takes valuable farmland from american farmers. you have e 3285,000 acres owned by the clinton government, more land than big gates in this country. this is national security risk. caught stealing our seeds, china has been caught stealing our seed, that is intellectual prpt. i've reached out to president biden to have a meeting to spook

about the issues and have not been granted the meeting and what is secretary of agriculture doing, who released the numbers, what is secretary vilsak saying? they are buying historical black college campuses and industrial plants, all this is happening right on the watch of this administration. the president. i'm calling on him to take action and also congress should have a national law to put a bill out to help to protect america's farmers. why allow to buy farmland in the u.s., but we can't buy an acre of land in china. that is wrong. >> ashley: interesting point you make there. hope this township is more marker and blueprint for the future of americans who are going to have to go through

>> vice president kamala harrie black voter turnout in the up coming 2024 election. and here is why.

>> i'm worried about it because i also know that there has been a lot of effort and laws that have been passed to make it more difficult for people to vote. these so-called leaders who are so bold as to unapologetically propose and pass laws to make it more difficult for the american people to vote. the gull. so, i do worry. >> carley: she is outraged. fox news contributor and columnist for the messenger joe concha joins us now. what do you think of those comments from the vice president? >> carley, we small a small snippet for time considerations there. kamala harris' entire answer was as meandering repetitive and dishonest as anything you will ever hear. again she says quote laws were passed to make it more difficult for american people to vote.

referring to georgia call jim crow 2.0. if al sharpton wasn't the guy who plays the race card in the bottom of the deck he would have made a simple challenge to ms. harris' farcical claim. because, in gary, since their voting laws were passed in 2021 we have seen record turnouts by a country mile in their last two elections. those are the numbers. and there have been virtually no complaints of voter suppression or being difficult to vote there, especially by minorities. this was propaganda in broad daylight. plain and simple. all while fact-checkers should be checking this stuff continue their permanent investigation that began in 2021 of january, ashley. >> biden won that group by 48 points in 2020. now the gap is only 16 points. so they better be worried about it. i do want to switch gears to this minnesota congressman dean phillips can s. calling on, quote: moderate governors to run against president biden in 2024. listen. >> i would like to see joe

biden, a wonderful and remarkable man, pass the torch. cement this extraordinary legacy. >> you don't want him to run for re-election? >> i believe what's in the best interest of the did you know can trip. moderate governor, hopefully from the heartland. one of the four states that democrats will need. >> you would are gretchenen whitmer, tony evers. >> you said a few names that would be great. josh sharp. >> j.d. pritzker. >> gretchen whitmer keeping coming up and i don't understand because i don't look at her as being a moderate in this situation. joe biden ran on the moderate ticket, the people's president. now is he so far left is he unrecognizable. what do you think about this? >> i think democrats stick together, ashley. and i think no one is going rogue unless the party leaders behind the scenes give the go ahead and no one is giving the go ahead on that at this point. some are seeing this as a sign that joe biden is ripe to be prime married. another way highly improperly

president was prime married by teddy kennedy that wasn't until they got to the floor of the convention. fools errand for anyone to jump into the race against joe biden. he is polling as low as any president in presidential history. voters have very little confidence in his handling of the crime, the border and not even the majority of democratic voters want to see him seek a second term because they don't think he is up to the job mentally and followingly. power brokers will protect him at all cost that we know because the dnc said he is not going to debate period even if you are r.f.k. jr. polling at 20% that's it people are thinking who is dean phillips before this now we know. congressman from minnesota those names keep coming up whether

it's joe manchin or change party affiliation to independent or governor gavin. have to waited and see how this pans out. joey joe, we have to leave it there. >> joe: hope you had a great weekend. >> carley: thank you. >> ashley: carley, thanks for having me this morning. >> carley: of course. have great day.
