elizabeth: welcome to the show you're watching the fox business network. we start with the secretary of state anthony blinken getting grilled on the second week of hearing in the senate, more fireworks, watch this. >> what did we think was going to happen, i think the most concerning part if we did not have an analysis that looked at all of this, this is not a failure of intelligence or policy and planning. we have the wrong people analyzing this, someone did not see this, someone did not see this or someone wanted to see this. >> i do refuse as most americans do, this is a complete debacle and i think what concerns me the most among many things is the attachment to reality. >> never in my worst minor could

i imagine the administration would leave and leave $80 billion worth of weaponry to the taliban, dozens of plays and helicopters, thousands of armored carriers, hundreds of thousands of automatic weapons and worst of all 13 of our brave young men and women, never in my worst nightmare did anyone conceive of such a colossal of incompetence. abandoning bagram air force base will be remembered as one of the worst military decisions in our history. >> disliked jimmy carter owns the disaster of the iran hostage crisis, you own this. the biden administration caused this disaster. elizabeth: we have news coming and cia officials say in an al-qaeda attack on the u.s. may happen within a year joining us former deputy national security advisor kt mcfarland, yours, reaction to this. >> good to see you i was just

horrified the testimony secretary blinken and lied, he lied because he said there's two options, we were either going to have this ended hundred 7000 american forces and be there for years or we had to get out the way we did, he said there's no middle ground it was all out war or all-out leave, there were dozens of options in between i have seen them and people have written about them and what did he do he lied. he said we had to get out and this is the only way we could do it and they also lied about other things, we were going to leave no americans behind, he did leave americans behindri he lied with our allies think we did a really great job, no they don't they written about in the british parliament and the sensor for the american president, the lies are mounting up and what is so upsetting is that the democrats on capitol hill just repeat what he says in the media they like. stu they let him get away with it. elizabeth: the new york times

reporting, even the taliban was surprised at how rapidly the white house left afghanistan. let's take a listen to what anthony blinken had to say about the staggering amount of permanent residence that are still behind in afghanistan, watch this. >> how many of them approximately, we don't know the exact number but how many legal permanent residents are we convinced are still in afghanistan, we don't have an exact number but the numbers in the thousands. >> in the thousands. >> and you are correct there are charter flights there that have been there for some time that is not been allowed to leave we went to see those leave. >> your reaction to that still in the thousands, what do you say. >> they are living in fantasy land and anthony blinken says working to rely on the taliban the responsible government and good serious partners that is

adolf hitler, the taliban has no interest to get out of this, they want to string it out and make it as impossibly difficult as they can in our adversarieses are pointing to this as the absolute example of the world of american and evitable and irreversible to climb. elizabeth: republican secretary of state calling them out as you point out for the administrations falsehood that the allieseh perfectly happy wih airbrushed chaotic stranding citizens when the president promised no americans will be left behind, the democrats say 20 years in the making that the trump dough hot exit plan was flawed, what do you say to that the un security council unanimously approved the dough hot exit plan. what do you say. >> is donald trump's exit plan, the trouble administration had a plan they wanted to brief the incoming secretary of defense and his staff the secretary of defense and his staff refused to sit down and when they took office they ripped up the trump

plan i'm not saying the trump plan would've been perfect but to go when would know plan is what they ended up with and now they blame everything onme president trump, the afghan military, they blame it on the president of the last 20 years but there is a lot of blame to go around but i am stunned that they managed to say the everything that they did was perfect and yet everything that they did was completely wrong. elizabeth: senator bob and linda said he would use the subpoena power to compel lloyd austin to testify after he didn't show up for today's hearing. the chief was not a closed hearing was senate armed services. you know it's interesting army veteran greg steube fact check anthony blinken for misleading american and anthony blinken's own opening statement. >> anthony blinken in your opening statement you can be honest with you mike andta peop. you stated by january 2021 the taliban was in its strongest military position since 9/11.

i'm pretty sure the strongest military position was during your entire administration not prior to it. in fact the strongest military position since the towers were hit in 2001 was this past september 11, the 20th anniversary all of which happened on your watch, not your predecessors. elizabeth: what do you say that kt. >> on past caring about the politics of this i'm caring about my country and i think thh united states has been put in a horrible position the world is looking at us, our allies are doubting us, adversaries, their dancing on the grave and we have a president who is h lying to u, secretary state was lying in a media that's letting them get awayet with it this is a really dark day in i american history. elizabeth: your reaction, separate story bob woodward co-author of the book reporting that nancy pelosi called the joint chief of staff mark milley and said after the capital riot what would trump do with the

nuclear arsenal in general mark milley took steps to protect nuclear weapons even going so far tosa call chinese counterpat in china to say that we will not atdo a strike on china, what is your reaction to the story. >> i would've fired general milley in a nano second, he is a general in charge of the afghan withdrawal. president of the united states doesn't wake up and lean over the bed and say i think i'm going to use my new can press the button there is a series of steps including the chairman of the joint chief, if general milley felt so strongly why did he talk to the deputy national security advisor one of the countries china scholars and experts the whole thing smacks of dirty little politics, again it is really upsetting to see the american media going along with it, the emperor has no clothes and nobody is going to call it out. elizabeth: is good to see you, thank you for joining us.

people said no that's when the supreme court said it is up to the state, now you have dr. fauci, biden, pelosi, jen psaki, they said a while ago know to vaccine mandates, now they are for them. >> to your point we could not get caught up on the covid hysteria to distract from the fact that president biden is truly trying to go around the constitution and with their osha regulations i believe the supreme court is going to strike down his executive order in the same way they struck down the eviction moratorium. >> when you look at the cdc data fully vaccinated people over ten times more likely to be hospitalized from covid-19 are they taking into account natural immunity at all we don't see any discussion in the media or people like dr. fauci, what about natural immunity is 13 times more powerful, you have

the cdc, 16 billion-dollar budget says doctor may carry and 20000 workers why is dr. fauci always on camera misleading the american people about this we have reuters saying fda and w.h.o. and the magazine same boosters may nots be needed but you don't hear that from dr. fauci, why? >> dr. fauci in the biden white house not only trampling on the constitution there discounting science and they like to redefine science to whatever it may be. to your point, there discountinh natural immunity which is very, very effective and to your point they miss message the vaccine, i am fully back under vaccinated but it's not a silver bullet it prevents you from serious illness or death and frankly they have not been honest with you making people about the fact that covid is here to stay we have to learn to live with it, protect yourself and your family and the best way that you see possible. >> vaccines work, we get it we

feel like these guys have been misleading the american people and it's doing it, the credibility is shot watch ron desantis to follow the science, how to follow the science for the white house to mandate not for congress not for the federal court, not for the postrt offic, watch the governor here. >> there issuing this mandate for private sector employees for also and federal employees but their exempting post office in their exempting members of congress and staff, how does that work can someone explain the science working in the icu for a year end half treating covidlr patients and likely already had covid and somehow you're getting it fired unless you follow the mandate how does that make sense at all, it doesn't this is all political and using the government and it

is wrong. >> it is unconstitutional i'm sorry i'm getting head up but macy was coming out of washington is shocking the executive branch is trying to tell people to get vaccinated setting aside the congressional branch andng the judiciary in legislative powers their writing the rules top down, your final word. >> that's exactly right florida governor ron desantis i fear if he was of the governor of florida we would need one party socialist nation into your point not only an end run around the constitution which you need to stand up for because if you allow unilateral federal brokers see next thing you know we might have federal lockdowns for climate change, trust me the democrats have a massive power grab they light about the law and science. elizabeth: is good to see you, thank you for joining us were coming out of the bottom of the hour you want to the fox business network we are breaking news of financial times reporting that china is

president refuses to hold them accountable to demand the origins and be fully and thoroughly investigated to determine that it came from then wuhan lab, then he reenters the paris accord which gives china and india upperhand and doesn't require them to be in a level playing field of america. now they have been watching everything that's happened in afghanistan with disastrous withdrawal and i'm sure there thinking about taking steps with regards to taiwan and hong kong, and that's what their priority is and unfortunately the president put them in a situation where they have a position of strength. elizabeth: reports are coming in that china wanted to use the bagram airbase and republicans were saying to the secretary of state and white house this is a historical failure that you abandoned and surrendered bagram airbase it could've protected americans and u.s. allies trying to flee but you gave it up they

use bagram airbase as a hub for the road initiative china is denying that and moving into afghanistan so is iran and russia, your reaction to all thatll news? >> china is moving in everywhere and that's what the problem is even close to her homeland 90 miles away in cuba you see with the doing in south america, afghanistan is the latest thing that's a thing when secretary blinken said they have leverage against the taliban i don't know what leverage he's talking about if it's monetary leverage china will fill in the void, this is something that should be concerning and this is all president biden's doing. elizabeth: red representative michael mccaul of your committee house foreign affairs a ranking republican brought up this issue he asked secretary of state blinken whether vladimir putin threatened president biden, but anthony blinken did not answer the question. >> my last question, is it true

that president putin threatened the president of the united states saying he could not build intelligence capabilities in the region? >> this is an abort question and one in detail and substance we need to take up in another setting. elizabeth: you see him not answering, does not tell you that that happened. >> some of it is classified and you can't say it publicly and others he may not even know, yesterday myself i asked the secretary about terrorism and what kind of counterterrorism lasers are there going to be taking now that we have nobody on the ground and he asked about the likelihood of al-qaeda reemerging and what the taliban has told them about isis-k he literally stood there and said the taliban said they're not

going to allow afghanistan to be a base for terrorism. but the taliban is a terrorist organization itself as is isis-k and the haqqani network and you know they are serving in the cabin of the taliban government. the reality is we have a lot of questions that we need answers to yesterday and today you saw what happened with the cia and the dia both saying al-qaeda can emerge and do something to the united states of america and our homeland from 1 - 2 years did the secretary not know this or was he lying out of his hearing yesterday. elizabeth: that's an important point the cia and the intelligence officials warning that al-qaeda could attack the u.s. within a year or twoea yeas time, let's move to this, that is serious stuff we want to stay on that story in light of this, representative ronny jackson saint anthony begin you were vacationing in the hamptons and

the white house was on vacation when kabul fell in american citizens and allies were abandoned. watch this. >> the family remain hidden and terrified until my team and a group of great patriots on the ground facilitated the evacuation, during this time the state department did nothing to help this instead you directed them to go to the taliban checkpoints repeatedly where the mother had a gun held to her head and told them to stay in their homes of the taliban went to american citizens and afghan allies. all while you were vacationing in the hamptons and the diplomats in doha in the safe arrival the state department claim full responsible for what happened. elizabeth: your final word. >> many members had that where they were trying to evacuate including myself the state department did help me with one family but others we had to go to other sources to try to get these individuals out and back to the united states of america,

the state department clearly is not corn 80 well not only with members of congress but with other agencies and this is another example of how they withdrawal was botched and how they make bad foreign policy decision after another. elizabeth: congresswoman nicole malliotakis, good to see you. mike huckabee on the blowback against democrat socialist alexandria ocasio-cortez wearing a tax the rich down to the gala tickets cost 35000, tables were worth more than a quarter of a million, that is the event with people of socialist views typically attend. it should've been pointed out aoc has t never had one of the most ineffective congresswoman ever. next from louisiana. bout ♪ ♪ mary? hey... it's our former broker carl. carl, say hi to nina, our schwab financial consultant. hm... i know how difficult these calls can be.

wearing that ridiculous dress and sticking in the face of all the people and the ones that she would like to take all their money away. and when people look at her atlo an event like that what are they thinking she reallyy represents me and then you wonder all of the people who are struggling and barely making a living, do they say i'm so glad aoc really can relate to the common people, i think it was dan crenshaw that said sometimes you want to get mad at her and in this case you laugh out loud, that's the best reaction of what happened last night. elizabeth: you notice they're not wearing masks either. >> of course not you have to remember that the democrats don't get covid it's the rest of us they don't have any problems they don't have any rules, we have rules and they insist that we carry out the rules that they create, that's why gavin newsom can go to the french laundry and

hang out massless with his buddies and e appetizers that cost more than the grocery bill for the average american family but they want the rest of us to get vaccinated, where mask, not go anywhere more than two or three people at a time and stay 23 feet apart. elizabeth: it's great to see you, thank you for joining us up next robert wilkie served as assistant secretary of defense under president george w. bush, the gop is demanding more from more hearings, this abide in a administration manipulate intelligence on afghanistan. that story next. ♪ you can close with more certainty. and twice as fast. if i could, i'd ten-x everything. like a coffee run... or fedora shopping. talk to your broker. ten-x does the same thing, - but with buildings. - so no more waiting. sfx: ding!

elizabeth: joining is now former va secretary the u.s. air force reserve colonel robert wilkie, it is good to see you and great to have you back on you served as assistant secretary under president george w. bush now we have republicans including brian masse saying i want more hearings he says the president manipulated the intelligence when he made the phone call to the former afghanistan president in july saying change of perception take it look like thr taliban was losing weather was true or not, the credibility of the white house is at stake what is your reaction to all of this.

>> i was undersecretary of defense and on planning scenarios across the globe, i don't know if it's so much of a case of manipulating intelligence or ignoring it, both of them areth equally as bd and they both had disastrous results, what amazed me is a former planner we can see the taliban coming out of the mountain in the open and the bite in a administration went ahead with his plans too remove the military the one barrier obetween the taliban and our citizens and those afghans who helped us as they were moving out inin the open they remove te airpower. one of the things that you heard often today is what they were deathly afraid of president trump of taking out the world number one terrorist he had went after has blood in syria including the russian

mercenaries and they understood what the consequences would be if they violated the terms of the agreement. what was so disturbing was to hear the secretary of state claim a prior administration that hasn't been in office for eight months for the actions on the ground, and responsible congressman is absolutely right, this shows a complete lack of understanding of how to handlee an emergency and how to protect american citizens. elizabeth: we know secretary of state claiming that they inherited no plan the united nations security council had approved unanimously that the trumped know-how plan from afghanistan that china, russia t signed off on the plan unclear why the secretary of state inherited no plan, let's listen to congress masse, he's talking about the 13 service members killed. >> marine corporal daegan page

intelligence manipulated by the white house. >> as i said i don't have any information about either path that they took wasn disastrous and people's heads need to roll because of that, as you know we've known each other while i'm a son of a wounded combat soldier i don't think my father's service in vietnam he was ever put in the kind of situation that the bite in a administration put those young americans and and it is not just young americans, our african allies, our british allies, german and french in this president didn't have the decency to tell the prime meminister of britain who lost 0 afghanistan that he was leaving and refused to take his phone call and they call donald trump the great disruptor i think you will find from merkel and johnson that this administration hasth done more under the western alliance then any administration since nato was created in 1949.

elizabeth: final ten seconds, how concerned are you. >> i'mli very concerned for our place in the world. >> thank you and thank you for your service to our country and your families as well, w good to see you. i'm elizabeth macdonald you been watching "the evening edi that does it for us thank you for watching we hope you have a good evening. ♪ evening. ♪. larry: hello everyone welcome to "kudlow" i am larry kudlow there is lots of breaking news tonight, up on capitol hill secretary of state blinken went into day two of the catastrophic afghanistan hearings, this time in front of the senate foreign relations committee and he continues to blame donald trump and maintain that nato and her allies were completely behind the effort and continues to argue it was a smashing
