update. congressman, you were at the hearing today. your reaction to the secretary of state's testimony? >> liz, many questions, few answers. one in particular in the statement both in an email and proa website the secretary's people said that you should not count on the u.s. government to get you out of afghanistan. he absolutely rebuked that, except we took it from his website and we received it in an email when we asked about getting help getting more of our american citizens out of afghanistan. this was just one of many cases in which this administration and this secretary are in denial of the fact. the fact is they sent false messages including the president denying that the country was going to fall. now they want us to believe they simply didn't know until the last few days, even after 85% of the country had fallen they were still in denial. then when it altered into chaos they act like it was a surprise. he didn't have any answers to

any of that today, it is still going on. elizabeth: congressman, the sense they're playing politics with this because intelligence officials have been repeatedly saying to this administration it will collapse quickly. they started warning about that months and months ago. now we have got three republican congressman, lee zeldin, scott perry, and let's see the other one, we have joe wilson, saying secretary of state, you need to resign. watch representative michael mccaul. i would like your reaction to what michael mccaul said. watch this. >> mr. secretary, the american people don't like to lose especially not to the terrorists but that is exactly what has happened. this has emboldened the taliban and our adversaries. the taliban, a designated terrorist group, now equipped with american weapons that most countries in the world, just a few weeks ago, thousands of terrorists, the worst of the worst, were all released from

prisons as the taliban overran the country. the situation we find ourselves in is far worse in my judgment as a former chairman of homeland security committee, far worse than pre-9/11. elizabeth: congressman, he is saying it is a failed jihadist state right now. your reaction to the criticism of the trump deal releasing 5000 taliban prisoners but the trump deal also had conditions on it. the secretary of state seemed to be downplaying that deal today. your reaction to all of that? >> when president trump left office americans were not dying, we were providing air support to hold the taliban in check in every position so they were not gaining ground. we had air supremacy, that gave the afghan troops the edge that they would have needed to hold this country indefinitely. we were doing so with just 2500 troops. 1/10 as many as we still have in

south korea. to push it back on trump with a successful program and then claim that somehow this debacle belongs to a man who left office eight months ago, when we were stable, in fact those forces were doing the job successfully without a single american die something simply disinagain voice. that is what ranking member mccaul called out, he also called out, most importantly, liz, we now have a terrorist state with $85 billion of advanced u.s. weapons they can trade, sell, use around the globe and they will certainly do that with many of the worst of the worst around the globe, including those that danger our immediate allies in the region. elizabeth: former president trump saying iran, russia, china, the taliban can reverse engineer our equipment and copycat it. china has been big on copycatting too. like your reaction to jen wilson. coo of army week association.

she is helping to evacuate americans. she says u.s. citizens are still trapped. watch this. >> well, i mean we haven't moved on. we've been working, you know, 48 hour shifts with no sleep, literally with no sleep. we basically had to roll up a private airline and a travel agency in a span of three weeks because we have over 20,000 requests for evacuation just through our website alone, and that is americans, that is green cardholders, that is nato passport holders. there are, i can't even count how many pregnant females we're trying to evacuate. it's definitely not over. elizabeth: not over. congressman, can you elaborate on this? >> one of those pregnant women, an american citizen is one of my constituents, we're working with her, her husband and her father. they were at the gate and were not admitted and left behind. no, there has not been a single u.s. flagged aircraft offered, there has not been a consistent

ability for her and her family to get out and that is true across the board. as a matter of fact, even when people got out, bribing their way out over land bridges, as soon as they got into a neighboring country, the state department announced they had gotten more americans out. if you continue to take credit for that which you don't do, it is no surprise that you continue to have people like her who are frustrated because they're spending money that is being given by caring people to try to do what the state department didn't do and still is not doing well. elizabeth: all right. congressman, darrell issa, thank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. elizabeth: i would like to bring in aishah hasnie. she is on capitol hill with more details covering that hearing today. it is still ongoing. great to see you. what is happening now? reporter: good evening to you, liz. it has been an intense hearing so far. we heard everything from democrat congressman connelly calling this hearing a salad mix of selective facts to republican

congressman joe wilson telling blinken you should resign. this very tense back and forth between congressman brian mast and the secretary. watch. >> i do not believe a word that you're saying on this. >> simply put -- >> i do not wish to hear from you. >> give him his time. >> not looking to hear the. >> the gentleman's time has expired. >> so has the gentleman. reporter: the last time blinken testified before this same house committee back in june he told them the u.s. is not withdrawing. the embassy was staying. he didn't believe there woulding significant deterioration of in security over the weekend. republicans asked questions from who exactly was evacuated from afghanistan, whether the u.s. is currently negotiating with the taliban, while several democrats gave blinken an opening, an opportunity to address what this administration apparently inherited from the previous

administration. listen. >> how meticulous was the planning for the trump administration declared may 1st withdrawal? >> thank you, congressman. we inherited a deadline. we did not inherit a plan. reporter: blinken will peer in person for the senate foreign relations committee hearing tomorrow with some democratic senators already indicated they would like to focus on the last 20 years as opposed to what happened in august with senator chris murphy adding that hopes republicans don't quote turn this into a circus. that is happening tomorrow morning. liz? elizabeth: aishah hasnie thank you so much for your journalism there. good to see you. up next georgia governor brian kemp. he says he will join 20 governors, a total of 20, they're now going to battle back against the white house over that vaccine mandate on the private sector as unconstitutional. we have the new rules for thee and not for me. the new uproar over the white house exempting congress,

president biden's new vaccine mandate for government workers and businesses for being unconstitutional. edward lawrence has more from washington. edward? reporter: well, liz, small to medium size business owners are starting to grumble about this vaccine mandate the president wants to do in a rule through osha. jerry acres owns 36 great clip locations. he is for vaccines but against mandates because it would put undue burden on his business. >> we had to pay for so many things. the enhanced cleaning of the stores, those kind of things, masks, the list goes on and on here. so now potentially we have to pay for these tests i can tell you half of our staff is not interested in vaccines. so the cost gets exorbitant. small business has to pass that along to their customers. the american public will end up paying for that. reporter: he says he is concerned this mandate will cause some of his employees to leave, to go to companies that

have under 100 employees. he is looking for 70 workers just to get back to full staffing. now the president says, this is not about freedom of choice. it is about protecting those around but former white house physician turned representative ronny jackson says this is about entitlement. >> that is just the thing we've seen over and over with this administration and with the democrats in control. forcing people to get a shot and and taking their personal freedoms away is not going to get this job done. reporter: the administration showing no signs of backing off of this plan. liz? elizabeth: edward lawrence thank you so much. good to see you. let's bring in georgia republican governor brian kemp. great to have you back on. your reaction to this reporting? >> not surprising. i'm hearing from people all weekend, a small business owner for 35 years. i can understand how frustrated they are. many people are working on this through the weekend and they simply don't know what they are going to have to do number one. number two, they don't have the people to do this.

lr directors don't have time dealing with apfederal man date. they are having trouble finding workers they need because the biden administration is paying them to stay home. this will drive runaway inflation we're seeing higher because of the costs associated with it. it is just not, it is not even fair and equitable. a huge company like a home depot or ups headquartered in georgia will have much different situation from the guy complaining that owns six hardware stores that has over 100 employees combined that said this is just nuts. that is what it is. elizabeth: we've got government worker unions also opposing the biden vaccine mandate. 2 trillion-dollar trade group representing consumer brands, coke, general mills, kellogg's, sent a letter, saying will you give exemption for our essential employees in our supply chains? effect if i havely what is happening the biden administration is exempting congress and the federal courts.

former president trump is saying you know what i will run again. he is blaming president biden, vice president kamala harris for vaccine hesitancy saying they disparaged the vaccines when he was president. your reaction to that? >> look, i think a good example what i told everybody when president biden said it. get vaccinated, take your mask off. now they're telling you that is not the case. they want you to put your mask back on. all these mixed guidances, guidelines when the booster shot is supposed to come out. there was raise visions about that the mixed messages on that. and all of that is giving people no confidence in the federal government in any guidance they're given which makes people further push back from taking the vaccine. what i've been telling people, talk to your doctor, talk to the local pharmacy. i believe the vaccine is a medical miracle of the trump administration with "operation warp speed." i've been vaccinated. my family has. there are a lot of businesses in

georgia working to get their employees vaccinated and implement programs work for their business. there is also people like, hey, hey, i got only 20% of my workforce vaccinated. if i force the other 80% i will lose them. they will go somewhere else. we'll lose our business. elizabeth: so we've had vaccines for measels, for polio, for smallpox, for swine flu, how is it different? >> it is different in a lot of ways because it is so new. it is safe, effective, i believe that. there are people that have doubt out there because they haven't been full all three authorized yet and mixed messages out of the biden administration. like the aides vaccine. mandated it didn't work. it only worked after educating people it was a good idea. we need to do that with the covid vaccination.

elizabeth: dr. fauci, vice president, don't worry we'll not imposing a vaccine mandate. now they are for it. dr. fauci predicts more local vaccine mandates. he says he can't give a firm answer on natural immunity. governor, we see new cdc data showing a test of 1.5 million blood donors, showing antibodies, prior infections, age 16 and up, 83% have immunity. that sure sounds like herd immunity. when you hear dr. fauci on camera don't hear him citing cdc data indicating 83% of those 16 and older have immunity. we're drilling down into the governor numbers. florida governor ron desantis out with a new plan, anybody in the state you try to do vaccine mandate we'll fine you 5,000 per incident. chris christie, former fda chief

scott gottlieb said this weekend about this. listen to. this watch this. >> remember politicization of these vaccines started back in the presidential campaign t was started by vice president harris who said i will not take a vaccine that is approved by trump or by trump's regulators. that put this in a totally different area that allowed it to be politicized and that politicization is continuing now. >> you think the downside of this mandate in terms of hardening positions taking something suddenly political making it overtly political could outweigh benefits we are trying to achieve. we don't reach even 90% of childhood vaccinations which are mandated. elizabeth: don't have 90%. i. >> i agree with what governor christie and scott said. federal mandates will drive people into the corner. people will drive people into the corner around we don't knee

♪. elizabeth: we're coming into the bottom of the hour. you're watching the fox business network. the house and the senate back in washington from vacation. the fight over president biden's 3 1/2 trillion dollar plan, it is now ramping up among democrats, tax hikes they're pretty big. hillary vaughn on capitol hill with the very latest. hillary. reporter: liz, house democrats are trying to raise trillions of dollars in tax revenue to cover the $3.5 trillion tab for president biden's social spending priorities but are trying to do it responsibly, playing a game of limbo with the tax code to keep moderates happy but it is coming up short of what the president was asking for. the pay-fors on the table from the house ways and means committee include raising the corporate tax rate to 26.5%,

biden wanted to raise it to 28%. house democrats also proposed raising capital gains taxes to 25%, falling way short of the more than 39% biden wanted. there are some extras targeting wealthy. 3% tax on anyone making more than five million dollars. the proposal completely leaves out biden's idea to tax appreciated assets held by the wealthy until they die, getting rid of a rule step up in basis that was also not included, liz. elizabeth: thank you, hillary. wonder what that nice lady was saying to the president there. looks like she was giving him a talking to. look who is back on the show, from house budget, small business and oversight, he is congressman byron donalds. what is your prediction what will happen here, sir? what do you think is going to happen? >> listen, i honestly really don't know. the democrats they do this a lot. their bill is outrageous. it is atrocious.

everybody knows it. they're trying to find pay-fors. no way to find pay-fors for 3 1/2 trillion a year. that is the reality of the situation. that is only way they pay for this thing. that is washington gimmick. that is the trend line, we don't know. they find ways to twist arms to get people in the back room to vote for this monstrosity. no way we should spend this kind of money on all the projects that if we understand if you do this it will cripple our economy with more inflation. it will make it sethly harder for our businesses to compete. it will raise prices on working poor families and on fixed income seniors. not a good plan for our country. elizabeth: congressman, the singular outrage, we keep hearing over and over again, nancy pelosi and senator chuck schumer again they have not read the bill in its entirety. we don't know what is inside of it. goldman sachs is warning this will slam the s&p 500, the

earnings for those companies because of the tax hikes. look at this, congressman, even the associated press has a headline, the news is this, that democrats see that they will lose in the midterms next year and they're using this grab bag of pork and spending wish-lists in order to get reelected. shouldn't we be more outraged they want to take $3 trillion out of the u.s. economy, out of u.s. taxpayers, then pay for themselves to get reelected? >> we absolutely should be outraged. the thing that should be more outrageous to all businesses, joe biden has been a disasterous president of the united states. you want to give him $3.5 trillion? not to mention the other 1.2 sitting in the infrastructure bill? that is outrageous enough. we've been distracted with afghanistan which has been awful. we've been distracted with the covid mandates which is awful. what is happening in the background you're 100% correct, nancy pelosi is lit rally

writing this bill as speak -- literally. none of us know what will be fully in this thing until they actually come to some terms. that is what is disasterous about this. this is not republicans and democrats figuring out how much money should be spent. this is nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, bernie sanders figuring out how much money should be spent. i would never trust three of them let alone treasury. elizabeth: grab your wallet, run to the basement. we'll go into the holidays with american people out there seeing wow, inflation is rising. producer price number at decade highs. we'll see rising tax rates as they go into the holiday season. hey, why don't you listen to democrat eleanor holmes norton or senator joe manchin saying cut the price tag in half. you can't do this to the american people, putting more and more people on their backs? they can't do it anymore. >> the truth we shouldn't be doing this at all, not even in some, not even in part at all.

we have an economy trying to get on its feet and number one thing we can do to help it is for government to stop, stop doing everything. stop with all your plans and let people actually go back to work and let our small business owners do what they do best which is create value for themselves, for their customers and for their employees. elizabeth: they can't fill 11 million jobs. that is what senator joe manchin is saying. 11 million jobs still not filled. take a job. take a breather. >> right. elizabeth: congressman byron donalds, you're terrific. we love having you on. terrific to see you again. we're coming out of the bottom of the hour now. we're on the fox business network. we're staying on the hearing, it is happening now. the secretary of state getting hammered by house republicans. he is obfuscating the afghan pullout. that is what republicans are saying. former dni john ratcliffe says biden team's policies, creating a wrote, national security risk. we're bringing in house foreign

the situation on the ground in country as well as no real plan moving forward. so it was quite disappointing, and yet secretary blinken is a, a fair, experienced american diplomat. so i was quite disappointed with his performance and his virtual dodging of answers. elizabeth: congressman, there was a heated moment between representative scott perry and secretary of state antony blinken. let's take a listen. >> did state at any point in the evacuation process block american citizens from leaving afghanistan? >> no, we did not. >> i want to know how many afghan citizens came to the united states had not met the qualifications for special immigrant visa? >> we're in the process of -- >> no, how many? how many, how many did you bring. you were just at dulles. how many did you bring. >> we'll have by the end of the month we will have a brought a total of 60,000. >> that have not met the siv process? >> some of those will have been through the siv process.

elizabeth: and now "the washington post" reporting 44 evacuees out of afghanistan potentially have terror ties. they were stopped at u.s. bases. can you elaborate on that? >> it is terrible. paying close attention to the sivs and 124,000 that have been evacuated. most are in third countries as we know. being vetted as well as possible. but when you do something in such haste, such a rush, that is tragically why we lost 13 of our soldiers men and women on the ground because this thing was being done in such a highly, disorganized, chaotic manner. it is of great concern. i do think they're putting resources against it. the idea we will perfectly vet this, for those coming into the united states is, is not simply not possible with the numbers. that is another reason why i said today to secretary blinken, i said will the biden administration close and secure the southern border?

he virtually gave me a non-answer. this whole thing was a lot of blaming, blaming everyone, the trump administration, blaming everybody but themselves, the biden administration and the taliban. it is a shame because -- elizabeth: in the middle of their blaming they're not disclosing, continuing to stonewall senator chuck grassley and house republicans are asking for questions who is coming into the country. they want to know that. they want to know the americans stranded. they're still not giving that detail. president obama, former president obama and then vice president joe biden and susan rice had said it is a sacred duty to leave no american behind. they referred to that, when they were doing the swap with former army deserter bowe bergdahl for the five taliban prisoners. what changed? why didn't secretary of state blinken stand up and say, mr. president, your rushed artificial deadline the uk,

europe, nato have been warning. you don't need to have this artificial deadline, it is chaos. you will leave americans left behind? why didn't the secretary of state stand up at any point and stop? >> he certainly should liz, hopefully it is regretting and makes them stronger moving forward. as you know we coin have the ridiculous september 11th date and moved it up to august which was a worst move likely for political purposes could have that hero moments but having hero moments in this dangerous manner with lives at stake, dealing with the taliban is highly outrageous. so it is what it is at this point. they must get serious. they must be transparent. they have got to be more monnest. they have to realize the crisis that has been developed here. we have men and women in part in allies in afghanistan right now that are being tracked and

traced and killed, taken hostage by the taliban as we speak. that needs to be recognized and we need to deal with this from a position of strength. they refuse to do that. elizabeth: the uk parliament already condemned the president for rushing this and creating this chaos and former uk prime minister tony blair basically said, what you're doing is quote imbecileic. what is hose troubling for republicans secretary of state saying we inherited a deadline and no plan. when you look at government documents, what he said flat-out is untrue. >> it is untrue. like this analogy of me planning a fishing trip, day to leave, hurricane comes in. tony blinken goes out anyway and blames it on me, right? that is very foolish and, certainly not being honest with the american people and just, just you know, sharing, or putting the blame, certainly where it doesn't bee wrong. elizabeth: okay, congressman.

>> there is a lot bad here. we're doing our best to get to the bottom of it. elizabeth: okay, it is still ongoing. we'll stay on this developing story throughout the hour. the secretary of state is testifying before house foreign affairs, tomorrow before the senate. congressman dan meuser. thanks for joining us. up next, sean duffy will give us the update on california recall tomorrow against governor gavin newsom. this is a state on the brink. we have voters what they're saying now on problematic vote counting too. you're watching the easterning edit on fox business. >> as you know i've been a lifelong progressive. it is only recently that i have decided i can't be a progressive anymore because of the damage that occurred in california.

irregularities in the california governor gavin newsom recall election. california voters, multiple mail-in ballots. they're getting multiple-mail-in ballots. voters showing up at other polling stations being told you already voted. it is happening now. what is your reaction? >> listen, voting rules in california that democrats want to take over the whole country. everyone is mailed a ballot. there is no real voter i.d. in california they allow campaign workers for candidates to harvest ballots. there is no real controls over one person, one vote and you get this kind of mischief that takes place that is now being reported in california. we heard in the last election in other states. that is why so many republicans tried to go, listen, tighten things up, have people vote close to election day. show an i.d. make sure you're the individual voting and you're a lawful voter. elizabeth: sean, the governor is not apologizing. he is saying that he will not change policies that triggered

the recall, botched covid shutdowns, long school closures, businesses fleeing high tax and regulatory state, failing to clear forest ahead of the wildfire season and droughts. he is not going to apologize again for breaking his own covid-19 shutdown rules, eating out at luxury restaurants without a mask? >> yeah, california is a hot mess, liz. gavin newsom is a progressive. he is a liberal. he is on the socialist wing of the democrat party. he will never apologize. this is share version of utopia. when you see businesses, jobs flee your state, maybe take a second look at policies. newsom is smart. he has two to one democrat over republican in voter registration. he is running against donald trump, saying larry elder is a donald trump look-alike. you don't want trump in california to drive those democrat voters that would vote to remove him from office back into his camp. he has raised huge amounts of

money. look at his message out on airwaves. those are advantages as he goes into tomorrow's election. elizabeth: people are in open-air drug markets in california, major cities like los angeles, san francisco, sacramento, taking drugs out on the streets. 160,000 people on the streets of california or in shelters. we're talking about people shooting up heroin and more in front of san francisco city hall. your final word? >> listen, i think democrats have come to the idea that this is progressivism and we can't stand up in opposition to drug use and homelessness and mismanagement like you said of water and forests and high taxes where jobs leave. so they buy into this is what progressivism means. instead of standing up, there is better way, better balance. the polls say newsom will skate to victory tomorrow. but you never know liz, what happens in the recalls, who shows up. who votes. the more energized voter base are ones that turn out. i think it will be very, very

close and gavin newsom tomorrow could find himself out of a job. elizabeth: sean duffy, good to see you. come back soon. we'll get you updated on this controversy, the virginia department of education telling teachers to downplay the 9/11 attacks as extremism and not terrorism. also teaching students to downplay american exceptionalism. up next, muslim reformer, journalist, as you a, know man any, on her battle against all of that. plus a 9/11 husband, he lost his wife, a police officer on 9/11. he has a lot to say now about the democrats defund the police push. keep it right here on "the evening edit." ♪ today, business is a balancing act. you want your data to be protected and secured. and your customers want seamless and easy.

♪ elizabeth: okay, let's start with this, president trump made a surprise visit to a new york city fire house and a police precinct on nerve. he's -- on 9/11. he's indicating he will run again. we're going to move on to this story with the a former wall street journal reporter, she was in afghanistan, also the vice president of parents defending education. it's great to have you back on again. i want a picture of this story,

james smith, he's the husband of the only female new york city police officer who died on 9/11, he slammed politicians saying when the country needed police officers, we were the first ones there to respond. what's your reaction to what he's saying? >> oh, absolutely. we have to fund the police. we have to make sure that the police are strong and that they are capable in our country. they are our first defense against terrorism, against criminality. there is no place safer for me in the world as a muslim mother than the united states of america, and it's because of our police. elizabeth: parents are upset in virginia what's going on with the department of education there? >> oh, elizabeth, you can't even believe this. you know that for the last 20 years i've been fighting islamic extremism within my community as a muslim reformer. well, a year ago we started seeing in our school systems this new indoctrination, this

politics coming into the school system. well, you cannot believe this, but on the eve of the september 11th anniversary just a couple weeks ago, the virginia department of education put forward a webinar in which a woman named amara left her teachers and told them to deny american exceptionalism and to call the terrorists who did the 9/11 hijackers extremists. not to mention islam and to absolutely not call them terrorists. i call this a woke washing of history. and it's a complete slap in the face of parents and families and is all of the americans and others who lost so many lives on 9/11 and have had such ripple effects from the trauma. so this is something that weed stood up against because we cannot allow this kind of indoctrination now to come into our classrooms and into our young kids' minds.

elizabeth: and into the muslim faith, right? this is such a twisting and distortion of what's going on, what is inside the miss if limb faith. is this -- muslim faith s. is this a focus on victim hood and racism and by downplaying terrorist activities like this? >> exactly. elizabeth: what's your reaction? >> that's exactly happening. it's basically these islamists are people interestedded in political islam, they are wanting to make excuses for this extremism, and they want to minimize it x. that's dangerous for us as a society. so it was only on thursday night last week at the fairfax county school board one of the school board members voted no on a resolution that was honoring the 9/11 victims and first responders because she used this event as an excuse to play out all of her grievances against america and the west. fortunately, we have parents and community members now rising up,

they're sending a letter to the school board asking for her to be, you know, basically reprimanded on this because people are pushing back. we have to challenge anybody who denies extremism in any faith or any community. we have the stand up and forge a path forward that is of moderation and peacefulness. elizabeth: also what happens -- sorry to interrupt. what happens if you don't stand up and you allow this to happen and there's a pushback against teaching americans freedom and democracy and liberty and american exceptional snitch what happens if you don't stand up? quickly. >> this is an existential fight for the future of america. i mean, america is at stake here and the future of our freedoms. we have to all stand up, and we have to do it from the classroom to the public square because otherwise we're going to lose our freedoms, and we have to remain vigilant. elizabeth: final word, what's

your final warning here in you've got ten seconds. >> pay attention. stand up, speak up and always raise a voice. elizabeth: astra, you're terrific, we'll have you back on again soon. thanks for your bravery and courage. i'm elizabeth mac donald, you've been watching "the evening edit.
