1:05 am
>> thank you jennifer griffin it's good to see you were staying on the subject ready we now former afghan interpreter, california congressman and navy veteran. thank you both for joining us your reaction to the president a lot of rhetoric does not match the action on the ground, what do youou think. >> we are having trouble with your sound were gonna come back as soon as we fix a technical difficulty we have abandoned americans and allies to terrorist, this is worse than saigon and does not make sense to take out military personnel when you need the military personnel to get them out now putting military personnel back in but the president said we
1:06 am
will not do special force evacuation by france and the uk, what do you say that. >> is amazing you must have an amazing intelligence to come to those conclusions this is something that the average american can see coming for months in our commander-in-chief could not i don't know why this is predictable and preventable and these are not just contradictions and this is not just rhetoric that we hear of the commander-in-chief, at this point these are flat out lies he is not honoring the commitments to our allies and none of this was preordained for failure and this wasn't something unavoidable from may 1, he mentioned today he's had calls with her allies around the globe and they're not questioning her credibility, that is absolutely false, today on the call secretary blinken said this complexion channel is going so well and it's simply not true, it is a lie and as we heard the commander-in-chief, president biden said americans were not being beaten and not being harmed as secretary defense austin called out that like
1:07 am
today on the call as well. this is been botched from day one and continues to get worse unfortunately and were putting our troops and americans in a more risky position than they were a week ago at this point. elizabeth: the president tried to blame former president trump today but in july he said i making this decision with clear eyes to withdraw, if americans are getting beaten doesn't that violate the trump feel that biden has abandoned. >> those conditions are violated the trump condition and it's beyond that, it's not just a certainty it's conditional you need to look at what's happening on the ground and look at the risk factor they were assuming and i can guarantee you the trouble administration withdrawal plan did e not until holy military personnel out first before the civilians and it does until leaving her allies and surrendering bagram air base at two in the morning when our troops were still in harm's way
1:08 am
and are afghan l.a. troops were in harm's way as well that is a challenge that we have right now in this president is not executing the plan that president trump was setting out to. >> we have technical to devote into difficulties that have been resolved it's good to have you back on. the white house after two dozen state department diplomat in kabul last month warned that the administration and afghanistan would rapidly collapse after the u.s. was through but they chose not tost act despite the memo president biden has said this a will not be another repeat of saigon in the foreign policy say this is worse than saigon, what do you say. >> truly for the past 20 years we know american forces were fighting against them.
1:09 am
and afghan people that they were abandoned and they basically have to fight for themselves and they were fighting for a common cause in american enemy the worst enemy in the world and civil liberties and these are common causes the afghan has imprisoned biden decided in the group and basically the terrorist group in the world and americans need to get behind and walk away and the forces could not fight because they were left alone when biden's administration decides to leave in the middle of the night without talking with them.
1:10 am
elizabeth: we hear you loud and clear. how does the administration deal with the fact that the pentagon reportedly is admitting that american congressman garcia americans are getting beat by the taliban, this is outrageous why did they leave it up to the taliban who decides who gets out, why is the taliban getting to decide that the white house is choosing not to act as lindsey graham says yes he should be impeached if video american afghan ally is harmed or stranded this is 1981 do we see a hostage situation again i'm going to close it out with house speaker nancy pelosi was saying let's take that onn firs, what do you say. >> this is a massive hostage crisis in the president is directly responsible whether he likes it or not it's a hot war and whether he realizes or not it's a hot war we need to start behavingth that way the fact tht
1:11 am
this operation is being led by the state department rather than the dod is a clear indicator and whether he's clear right or not that he's doing incorrectly and were losing this fight this week we need to change your posture and become offensive and aggressive and not only troops on the ground the assets in the air and not to the very high speeds making it loud and clear message to the taliban folks that are on the ground that were there to stay until all americans are out not just as many as we can get out. >> by the way the uk is really upset the press is outraged that the president snubbed the uk and boris johnson leader of the uk for 36 hours and the president is claiming he had no intelligence that they were upset, i want to talk to about this, nancy pelosi called out for her stuff happens, abandoning to the taliban c and
1:12 am
terrorist, u.s. military hardware planes, guns, thousands of armored vehicles including humvees, blackhawk helicopters, military drones, reuters reported the biden administration is considering as i ione option airstrike against very same equipment the taliban is already holding military eparades with it, they are using the biometric tracking devices to go door to door to root out nato allies and more, what is happening with u.s. military equipment right now in the hands of terrorist. >> truly they are going to use it against afghan forces and their good use that against her allies in the west and that is obvious. in prior to that everything that american forces, now they are controlling it the biden administration left some forces there as a deterrent they have
1:13 am
been dark about this the al-qaeda and isis the swamp of the united states, the taliban that message came from taliban and said american we are coming after you, what do you think about that. elizabeth: congressman mike garcia thank you for joining us we appreciated. up next were bringing on cia station chief, this was biden's work we cover even democrats, were going to talk about whether or not his botched handling of afghanistan since the united states back on the world stage and undercuts u.s. power, we look at the shadow it's passing over the president's entire agenda, you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business. ♪

1:18 am
general austin was briefing lawmakers and says the u.s. citizens were being harassed and being by the taliban they should not be a surprise at the bottleneck on the way to the kabul airport and the taliban knows that americans and african allies are trying to get there and they are easily able to protect and intercept our people. and that is a reflection of the chaotic and horrific poor planning that went into this withdrawal. elizabeth: the poor planning is growing concern theer president biden and mark miller chief of staff inflated the size of the afghan army strength to double to what it really was to d suppt their case withdrawal that the afghan army could fight and defeat the taliban, there is that and there is also, is this a concern this will set the u.s. back from a world stage and of forces. >> it does but here's how it
1:19 am
happens, we need to withdraw our intelligence, our military and diplomatic capability from afghanistan just when the taliban is going to turn afghanistan into terrorist sponsored state we know in spite of what the president said al-qaeda is still on television territory the leader of al-qaeda is still there and isis is still there, we might think the war is over but it is not, the taliban and al-qaeda and isis have us enter crossers in our nato partners when they launched attacks against us, they will enjoy in afghanistan, that's is going to drive a wedgeee between the united states and allies and create opportunities which i'm quite sure that iran in russia and china among others will seek to exploit. elizabeth: senator lindsey graham insane the president should be impeached over this this is worse than saigon democrats turning on the president's approval rating is underwater this is likely the worst week of the president's entire political career, let's
1:20 am
listen to how it went so terribly wrong. watch this. >> they warned against the timeline and they wanted you to keep 2500 troops. >> no they did it was split. >> that was not true. >> nobody is being killed right now. >> forgive me if i'm wrong but nobody's been killedo right now. >> the state department would be a better place to go from many americans afghanistan in andni around kabul that is not a figure that the united states military would know. i can tell you they received as of a couple a hours ago a small hand of reports from american citizens who were not able to reach the airport for whatever reason we see the reports of congestion in my understanding that things are moving quite efficiently at this hour. >> were african-american citizens you know how many americans have contacted you and asked you to get out why can't you a tell.
1:21 am
>> critics are saying they have been gaslight either misleading and downplaying and they have been deflecting and doing blame claims the president is basically saying nobody has gotten killed reports are common and not americans what's going on yet but people have been getting killed in afghanistan by the taliban, trying to say is just congestion at the airport just small groups trying to get out, your reaction to this very bad week. >> were operating in the fog of war that we created and we did not have to have it this way we had bagram air base in 3000 u.s. military and 6000 nato forces in 18000 contractors to keep afghan air capability, it did not have to be this way we don't even know how many al-qaeda in
1:22 am
afghanistan, admiral admitted that during the press briefing and said we lack the intelligence capability to determine how many there are imagine these americans getting to the airport and al-qaeda taken an opportunity to targetop them as well, this is not the way it should be we should not put our people at grave risk and if we do get them out and we don't lose anyone it won't be because anything that this administration did it'll be because of her good fortune right now were asking the taliban, al-qaeda, isis the petri dish to hold off on targeting our people and our afghan allies i don't see that happening but i pray that it does. >> the other thing where is president biden, here's an democrats in the squad when the campaign is a campaign for women's rights there's that story that we will cover next week, it's good to see you thank you so much for joining us we appreciate your insight, come back soon. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and looks like they could be on the massive infrastructure in the big spending package next

and congressional insiders they can feel next week, pelosi could not lose more than three house democrat votes but nine moderate house democrats are saying no they want infrastructure spending first they're not going to move on the progressive three and half trillion spending this is a big slap in the face of need to pelosi, what do you say. >> i think if you look at what's happened over the past month and what happened before we went into theha august recess that is in jeopardy remembering that wat a moderate democrats with the progressives from being able to have an extension of the eviction moratorium and maxine waters and other progressive democrats were really pushing for the issue but asss we know it's an issue that hurts mom-and-pop in our local community banks in their tax base and the person who is a land owner and property owner in the simple property can payax their property taxes because

>> i would love to get someit answers myself i just had a call recently a couple hours ago with secretary austen general milley and secretary blinken i had the opportunity to ask questions of all of them on that call on a number of different topics but that is one particular issue because in being on a secure line it's not going to be until we get back to d.c. on tuesday ssthat will have a classified briefing with them, these questions, your questions for me was a question that all of us had for them and unfortunately there's too much uncertainty as to what is going on because there is certainly a need to go get americans who can't safely get to the airport in kabul, we want to know what the plan is and apparently there's some updates that they don't want to tell us on an unsecured line. >> congressman when in the world to become to this point that we will trust the taliban, there is
