it's better for business. ♪ david: what a wild hour. thanks for watching >> what a wild hour thank you for watching "kudlow". be sure to drive in while tune in tomorrow, is going to be a great show. thanks again for watching have a wonderful night everybody. kennedy: is been called the biggest political insecurity blunder a degeneration of the u.s. troop withdrawal from afghanistan and its weekend swift takeover by the taliban, we've never should've entrenched ourselves for 20 years that goes without saying, but good lord was this really the way to end things? by no fault in the aptly horrifying images among them desperate afghans clinging to u.s. air force cargo plane attempting to escape. two people fell off the plane to their data once it took off.

that tells you how badly they wanted to escape it's no wonder why telamon fighters have been hunting down executing people who help the u.s., kidnapping and young girls to make them slaves and generally turning the country back into a medieval wasteland for yesterday's maniac took selfies in the former presidential palace throw club put together what a bunch of dingdong spirit earlier today by instead he stands by his decision to leave the country in this way, watch. >> i stand squarely behind my decision. after 20 years i have learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdrawal u.s. forces. if anything the developments in the past week reinforce that any u.s. military involvement in afghanistan now was the right decision. >> he also tried to skirt responsibility for this week six ordinary tragedy. >> when i came into office i inherited a deal president trump negotiate with the

taliban. under his agreement u.s. forces in afghanistan by may 1, 2021. afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country. the afghan military collapsed sometimes without trying to fight. american troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves. >> of course the president's critics are a livid sum including former president trump calling on him to resign. and we are going to have more on the political fallout and just moments. how did the situation in afghanistan implode so spectacularly question a joint beat out michigan congressmen serving on the household and security and foreign affairs committees, iraq war veteran and afghanistan analyst, peter meijer's back. welcome back sir. >> thanks for having me.

kennedy: is served in iraq he worked in afghanistan, what are you feeling when you see some of those pictures, especially through a new prism as a congressman? >> anger, humiliation, the nightmare scenario we had feared. the nightmare administration it would warrant her afghan allies out of there. they were confident that many more months, they had bad intelligence they had bad assessments and we aren't living that cascade of failure today. >> let me ask you about that specifically. that is something you know a great deal about. that is what struck me, the president today in his speech he basically said five what are the most knowledgeable people on afghanistan because he's been involved in foreign policy as vice president for eight years but also as a senate committee chair and he's been in washington for about 341 years. so, if he knew everything and could not see this coming, how

bad was the intelligence? >> again you have the difference between somebody who has gathered their knowledge through talking to people who have talked to people of read books, who have written books and wholly disconnected that entire site from the ground through the ground reality. this has been a characteristic for post- 911 conflicts on how disconnected we can be helpful easy it is to try to shape intelligent assessments to shape conclusions to fit what you want it to be. but guess what, reality rears its ugly head. it did that and tell event went from no provincial capitol to sitting in the presidential palace with the president and vice president afghanistan having fled. this is a pathetic indictment on our national security apparatus on intelligence apparatus about how we are prosecuting our foreign involvement in this modern era. >> this is something that was known for a long time. we did not really know what we were doing.

the narrative was shaped by the defense department as they lied to the american people repeatedly, essentially for two decades. we have the 2000 page document that is tantamount we did not have an objective we did not acknowledge we had no idea what victory look like were lying to ourselves were lying to ourselves we said we were in nationbuilding. how would it and any other way given all of that? >> there's a prox strong difference between what the president did in his speech. withdrawal is highly justifiable i highly supportive when he tried to justify his withdrawal of the criticism is on the execution of the withdrawal. that has been an apt and catastrophic. the broader question you bring up is a great one, how are we

so bad at this? how are we so disconnected? this is fought by very small percentage of the population these are conflicts where congress has not had to put his stamp of approval on we have these endless authorizations for military force. we have let these conflicts run on a sense of momentum. when you try to bring that end, when you try to stop at this is the consequence when it's done with that any appreciation the facts on the ground. again with assessments that are tailored to a political objective rather than actual statements of fact. kennedy: the president was right about one thing today. when he said he did out to pass this onto a fifth administration. and i appreciate that. it seems as though these four administrations have known how swift the bleed out would be if we did in fact retract ourselves in the wrong way. and that is what happened here. it was bound to be messy under the best of circumstances.

but how did this inform us going forward? >> it was entirely bound to be necessary for there were no good options. just because there are no good options does not mean you stop the worst case scenario from going to fruition. going forward congress needs to have its own intelligence analytical capabilities. we can no longer being on the president and political branch has an agenda from shaping those priorities but resolve it with the rise of isis under the obama admin certainly tried soft pedal it if it did not meet the narrative. we need to have accurate statements. we need to have congress be accountable and we need to make sure at every stage we are actually having alignment of our strategic priorities rather than letting this national security apparatus run amok. kennedy: thank you very much congressman meijer. back in the u.s. politicians are pointing fingers at president biden for the crisis in kabul as you heard president biden is claiming

former president trump he released a statement this morning, not on twitter, saying quote the outcome in afghanistan including the withdrawal would have been totally different if the trump administration had been in charge. who or what will joe biden surrender to next? someone should ask him, if they can find him. meanwhile folks online are sharing memes saying george w. bush is enjoying a biden and trump taking the heat for the afghan disaster. who is really to blame for failures in that country? jody may now this man panel christopher bedford he is back along with fox news political analyst juan williams in 2020 libertarian vice president joe candidate spike : comment welcome gentlemen. chris i'm going to ask the same question of all three of you who is to blame here? >> this war was lost almost 20 years ago by george w. bush and his administration will be

track of what our objectives were. as opposed to getting the bad guys and getting osama bin laden will lead them to escape to pakistan. then we spent a basically a decade not realizing pakistan was usually tell a man in a terrorist organization as a front for one of their own operations and a buffer between them in india. in addition the american people have never -- they basically have wanted a colony. they did not want to be like the bad guys but they thought they could do it better. the americans, the politicians don't what it understands what it takes to run a colony pray they don't believe their own goodness they're not willing to do it takes the first place. aptly doomed to failure. you have that military that's been lying about a nonexistent army they've been building for 20 years, clearly does not exist. there's no central government there never could be in a tribal country. it's a disaster from start to finish its disaster has

editing and how botched it's been my. >> isn't incredibly tragic. and juan i think of that tragedy and the women's lives who are now going to be ruined or slaughtered because of this horrific ending. it is awful. those of us who do not want any incursions like this because we know how the end, they don't end. it is little comfort to see how horribly this country is imploding. >> i particularly feel in terms of the education of young women and the prospects those young women face tonight they clearly have been tremendously diminish the idea they will now be under control of the taliban. i think we have to focus here on the american interest. to my mind it's less than 500

americans have died over the course of this forever year war. we spent about a trillion dollars to prop up a department so we have invested greatly in afghanistan. i don't think it is fair to joe biden or any of the other three administrations that were in power during that time to say we did not try to execute something that was sustainable. we can have lots of criticism about the intelligence with regard to the speed by which the taliban was able to take power over the last few days. but to my mind you cannot look away and start blaming america. you cannot look away from the incompetence and corruption in the afghan government and the afghan military pay. >> the american public should know about that they lied about they lied about all of it. what 800,000 troops were sent over there more than 2400 americans died and countless

civilians. so spike i will ask you, who is to blame here? >> the people to blame are the people who benefit from this. that is the military-industrial complex in the central bank. must be very clear that is the only reason afghanistan was invaded. this had nothing to do with getting bin laden. omar the original leader of the described bin laden as a chicken bone stuck in his throat. he wanted to get rid of him like anybody else. he's still trying to negotiate with the u.s. military by invading the country. bin laden within two months present pakistan. get the u.s. military remained in afghanistan even ten years after that than ten years after that to today but it's clearly not about getting bin laden. it's not creating democracy the afghan papers from two years ago said they knew it was all a lie. we are seeing this afghan military they built crumbled

and eight days after $100 billion being spent just on that. we abandon the allies there in the same way we abandon the yards in vietnam. we those that came home with ptsd and many other issues the trauma they are facing as a result of the war. every single aspect of this, the only people who have benefited from this are the ones who are to blame. kennedy: your absolute right that chilean dollars went somewhere. that is what we have to be looking. anthony blinken said today there are no parallels between kabul and saigon. i disagree with that completely they are so parallels between vietnam and afghanistan. we are still there.

♪ ♪. kennedy: hello i'm back. california recall election has begun first ballots mailed today the official election with about a month away. california will have two questions on the ballot should governor gavin newsom be removed from office? yes. who should serve the final year of his current term republican larry elder find a democrat kevin paffrath.

his biggest opponents might be an enthusiasm gap. 92% of republicans and their very motivated to vote the recall election compared to just 61% of the democrats. should the governor be worried? here with me now here he is meet kevin youtuber an california gubernatorial candidate he's dating traction all over the states, kevin paffrath is here is only one brave enough to come back to the octagon. kevin, is gavin newsom in real trouble here? >> he is in big trouble. what i realize we need a candidate in office we need a jf's kate style democrat and that's what i plan to bring back. >> the california democrat machine no event and all your running as a democrat it is god awful. they are so progressive and so authoritarian. they turn into eight model parties state. the politics are awful.

the state is still beautiful there is much that can be pulled from the ashes of a political ruin. how do you plan on defeating gavin newsom? >> absolutely. we have got to make sure folks vote on that second question. gavin newsom is being selfish gavin he saying don't vote on the second question vote no on recall and send the rest back a blank for that's a big mistake we should be voting for the best possible candidate to bring california back of her to bring that exceptionalism backed the california dream, california has become an embarrassment we've got to fix that with got to solve homelessness and the causes of homelessness like improving our schools and reducing taxes. this is what kennedy did he invested in the people. by investing in the people you couldn't run a more efficient government and lower taxes is exactly we've got about four in california. and unfortunately i will tell you, republicans are not going to make that happen with a

72 -- 75% super majority of democrats and the legislature we need a moderate. kennedy: we need a bunch of different parties i don't have a problem with that either. larry elder is pulling well he has been inside people's heads for decades, talk radio it is a powerful medium to begin with. especially in california because we spent so much time in your car and you drive around with your favorite talk radio host, larry elder has been one of those people making this case for decades. how do you upset him? very simple i hate to say the democratic party will not allow him to do anything before the 22 election which means we are literally going to get nothing done over the next year, we are essentially gambling with california for the next year. we are on the same page we got to get rid of newsom but we

need someone like me who is 51 -- 49. i'm so in the middle i care about the real problems that we have. water, fires, gavin newsom overstated fire sent npr at left-leaning publication. he is misleading california we need someone to deal the real issues. >> your always straightforward and great ideas. in your tax plan and getting rid of the idea high-speed rail i like all that stuff you talk about. but is the weekend for the recall election, you are trailing larry elder will you give him your support? >> no, i will continue to campaign for my own campaign, here is what is happening. california democrats are coming out in droves every day more and more realizing this election is real. gavin faces a real risk of getting recall. the more democrats are coming out the more our poll numbers are going up. in a survey usa today san

republicans still waiting for accountability that should befall this disgrace who is covered in paint in light of the backless assembly speaker carl was a basically forced to restart the stalled inquiry into not only the alleged groping and verbal perversion the thousands of golden new yorkers who were essentially murdered on cuomo's watch. this did not sit well with alleged sexual harassment victim who pointed out we took enormous risk of speaking out about the abuse and harassment we experienced in the investigation that followed corroborate our allegations and determine the governor's going to break state and federal laws would have the love governor's bond to the multitude of aggrieved as the wall started closing in? bite victim shaming his accusers having bad mouth the state ag claiming the investigation was a springboard for her own

gubernatorial dreams, by blaming nursing home staff are infecting the patients that was ordered forced long-term care facilities to not only take the sick patients but forbid them from testing he threatened democrat assemblyman ron and kim who lost his uncle took over them publicly shredded kim's character after he dared to speak out. and then he had the celtic guards to ask of the dead family members who cares where they died. obviously cuomo cared. he is so high on his own emmy winning but sauce he believe the hype from people like cher who said i am in love with andrew cuomo, but some close on grandma. called the gold standard like make teeth all made of the gold standard in the political career is in ruin he still deserves to the insight of a prison cell for his groping and manslaughter not to mention he's using taxpayer money to write his crappy covid memoir office door stonewalling request for eight months knowing the actual numbers of people who died in nursing homes were

jaw-dropping lehigh. cuomo will soon be gone but at last he is enabled on all or most of these areas. legislated in action will be a narcissistic nipple clamps to sort laws and ethics for personal gain and that is the memo. cuomo's sexuality is on the outs his replacement is not holding the door for him incoming governor she is a weighing in how to get rid of this, watch this. there i am. >> what the hell is going on in new york? and can you promise new yorkers you will and this legacy of sleaze? >> it will not be difficult for me. everyone has known my career know i have very high ethical standards. i will go in there and literally say it's a whole new day. zero tolerance i'm going to be very firm and my expectations and how my administration conduct themselves. >> what is she a secret total

horn.? wonderful great words but will she hold governor cuomo accountable? that is what needs to happen. more from the manna panel they are back, chris bedford wando williams and spike . spike i will start with you everything's gone wrong here please make it right. >> first of all that is probably best opening segment intro you have ever done for it i'm trying maintain my composure from it. here is the thing. it is obvious that andrew cuomo did terrible things here. his order that led to 15000 dead elderly and disabled new yorkers and then trying to light and cover up how many died not to mention of course the serial sexual harassment he has done. boyd seen a shift from we must protect comer to we must throw cuomo under the bus i think it is far worse what we would otherwise find out. i think that's why they are

doing that. think the new york party machine politics are far more corrupt than just andrew cuomo. i think they are setting him up to be their scapegoat so they can pretend everything is okay now. >> i think your absolute rights. and if you could wave your magic wand, he's got the last three governors have been disgrace. elliott with the prosecution ring, david patterson with witness tampering and now andrew cuomo anew another new york government resigned because all the stuff that's happening here. how can you actually change the system when it seems to be pretty corrupt from the foundation up? >> that is a big challenge for it i don't know that you can do it overnight or even in the course of a few years. she is right she has a pretty good reputation. the challenge is the assembly. if you start looking at the assembly i think they were very slow to respond to cuomo

because they were enthralled with his intimidation, bullying, hardball tactics. that is the way they saw things getting done. and by the way a lot of new york voters, even in the course of the nursing home standard were still supportive of cuomo. they were not calling for him to lead there a lot of critics but not the voters of new york you had that support. it took the sexual-harassment scam even then the state assembly was slow to get going because cuomo. [inaudible] the mention having to reverse course, i think the problem is right there in the assembly. to impose some rigor and honesty on the government. she is work with a tough lot and that assembly. >> no kidding they're all pretty awful part i feel that for the democrats who lost family members like ron kim. isn't that part of it the

worst part the people who needlessly died? >> it is actually the worst part. i'm happily surprised there's a possibility one awful politician might be held accountable for some the awful decisions that were made at the beginning of this pandemic. there still being made at least in washington d.c. it possibly resulted in death very, very likely resulted in death by the definitely being covered up by the governor. there are so many people doing so many foolish things but i understand we did not understand very much about covid at all at the beginning. but every one of us knew this to be a threat to the elderly. these folks trying to put patients in there, put recovering patients in there and to lie about is absolutely criminal behavior. this could possibly be held accountable and all the governors in america just screw up that would be wonderful. kennedy: i hope it spreads i hope it spreads like covid.

the governors and pennsylvania and new jersey i hope they all get booted out. thank you man panel for all that you do. blank, thank you. now to the portable federal judge in texas had reinstated trump air remain and mexico policy it calls for asylum-seekers to state and mexico as their cases will be tried in the u.s. for this comes as record number of migrants are across the board last month. there's also been an increase in drug seizes. is it safe to say the biden plan is not working here to discuss texas congressman henry cuellar welcome to the show. >> thank you so much. kennedy: it's got to be heartbreaking for you 1800 kids in one month unaccompanied minors and over 2000 people apprehended at the border. obviously when the president and vice president are at the sink don't come, stereo our people are not listening.

>> you are right. what you have to do is say don't come but then you've got to make sure you follow-up with actions. you have to deport people. if someone should stay here under the law go ahead and let them stay. but if the law says you deport them and send them back then you have to do that. if you put 100 people in front of an immigration judge usually 88 -- 90% are going to be rejected. that means only ten or 12% are going to khmer so why are we allowing everyone to come in one 100% we should be allowing only ten or 12% in the rest of them should be sent back. we have to, we have to, we have to publicize them being deported so people can see it's not only the words but it's real action real people being deported who are not supposed to stay here under the law. kennedy: it's incredibly dangerous. it isn't dangerous for people in the best of health who are hardy adults.

it is absolutely got awful for children or sent by their parents and they then trust coyotes were the only people benefiting from this whole thing. what needs to happen? those from dog and pony show that obviously did not do anything. the people who will be fired or to resigned you agree with that? >> no. i want to make sure we give them an opportunity where he can make some changes, hopefully as soon as possible. look, i have been asked for people to be returning and publicize that told me they started that that is step number one. the second thing is i have been asking they need to listen not only to the activists but they need to listen to our communities the border communities they did that last week. the other think they've got to listen to the men and women and green and blue.

they are having a very difficult time. they do not need a pat on the back. but they need is real support and let them do their job. if they have to deport somebody or send somebody back let them do their job. those professionals are not supposed to be babysitters. they are not supposed be taking care of the kids. if we have to we will go ahead and do that. they are not trained to be babysitters there here to enforce our laws bring whoever is not supposed to be here under the law and making sure we stop drugs and coming into the united states. kennedy: there's been a lot of drugs a lot of drugs but you know it hasn't changed the appetite for drugs in this country. do you think we should legalize drugs in this country make them in this country and bomb the living crab out of the cartel and put them out of business for good? >> first of all i don't believe in legalization of drugs. i have brothers who are peace officers.

my brother is the sheriff down there the border. i want to make sure we enforce the law. second vault we need to go after the drug cartel. the only ones winning here is the drug cartel we have already had an encounter as of last week 1.34 million individuals, do the math. you are talking about a lot of money. remember that it is only the money from smuggling or trafficking people. what about the drugs like you mention? kennedy: the bolivian bulgur sugar. there is no shortage of it war on drugs has failed people are still dying people are still the cartel are multi billion dollar a year industry each and every one of them. congressman cuellar please come back i appreciate your time. >> thank you so much. kennedy: coming up after 20 year war that cost thousands of lives in a trillion dollars

>> it is probably a definitive moment in my life. few things define my life, becoming a bomb tech, losing my legs, having my children. and then today to see the war i lost my legs and be officially lost, it is tough it's really tough. i think i have known a day like today would probably happen for a few years now. they've ushered in the idea that leaving afghanistan was what american people wanted to do regardless of the outcome. i think president biden officially today it really gave the taliban world legitimacy and domestic empowerment. whether he meant to or not that is the result. kennedy: howdy filled out politician to send brave people like you into unwinnable wars like this? >> i call them cowards, i think they are cowards. they are self enriching cowards. i think we have a bunch of

them. the one thing i will say, hate and name-calling it's fun sometimes when you're really pissed off like i am. the one thing i will say these politicians like lindsey graham were honest. 3000 troops in afghanistan if that's what it takes to prevent something that is what we should do. lisa's got the courage to be honest about it. that fund a war in afghanistan or iraq. and not building questions. on that bandwagon and now they are kind of silence. those are the cowards the ones i really like an opportunity to talk too. circumvent the own authority to the president and spend a trillion dollars in doing it. probably going to work after words they have gone on to make much money it is very
