10:43 am
kevin, if 58% say no to recall the governor where are the big guns headed to california? >> that's a great question. the newsom team is taking nothing for granted. when this started 1.7 million californias signed the petition to recall the governor. i think his team is kicking it into high gear. one week out from the election on september 14th. i remember you and matt are as well gray davis getting recalled in 2003 because of an enthusiasm gap around an energy crisis. we are seeing wildfires and covid in the state. the governor doesn't want to take anything for granted and is firing on all cylinders in the final week. >> matt, the governor had a tough time. 1.7 million people signed that
10:44 am
petition. is this about big gun democrats campaigning against a problem the democrats have in this party regardless of who stays in office? >> i think so. they are panicked. according to your poll, i believe they're the underdog. hopefully it will be closer. the broader trend is scary for democrats. i lived through it in 2018. we had special elections in deep red districts that were closer than they should have been. on election day 2018 we lost and lost the house. what i am concerned about if they are panicking in california. imagine what will happen in new hampshire, nevada and florida. >> and gavin newsom brought up in an abc interview over the weekend this has a much larger

10:47 am
i fear that larry elder played into their hands. california is a beautiful state and should be a great state to live in. it's a prototype of what dems will do with complete control. tax rates above 50%. number 1 for covid rates. homelessness and crime. they have enough problems in state. that underscores a republican needs to focus on those issues in state for a check and balance against democrats who control the far left and control the entire political process. that's what elizabeth warren is talking about. >> thanks for joining us on labor day. appreciate it. >> president biden's administration is working to vet all afghan evaccees. the u.s. is sending afghans

americans and our allies get out of that nation. this is a terrible situation. we should have never found ourselveses in this position. the concern our allies shared with me is very, very great. what we have done is we precipitated a situation where the taliban have declared victory. a great victory of propaganda inspiring jihadists to step up terror and we armed them. we left billion dollars of equipment in afghanistan. they are armed and have equipment we will have to deal with and the threat our allies perceive is more proximate. they are located much closer. they are concerned about a humanitarian disaster because of refugees fleeing afghanistan. this is an extremely concerning situation. something all americans feel very, very deeply concerned about. >> this has so many layers.

12:08 pm
was on tv advocating for us, the coalition force in northern afghanistan and i guess now they've been defeated so i don't know that he understood really what he was trying to get us to do. at least lindsey graham has been honest. he said all along forever that he wants to keep troops there. at least that's honest and i don't think other politicians have been quite as blatant about it but i think argent government has not done a good job and that is as long as they can fund the war every two years, they haven't felt the need to and i think it's our turn in the american people to ask bigger questions and to get bigger answers we understand why we woe before we go again. >> griff: are we safer after this withdrawal? >> is there just as much of a threat if not a more empowered threat?
12:09 pm
absolutely. they've really embolden the taliban by going and recruiting you romanticize on the idea that a lot of them come from pakistan so the idea of radical islam is more than it's ever been. the thing that is different is our defenses here at home, the way we look at threats and survey things in the way we look at who comes into our country were supposed to. the top-secret clearance ran in on things that have already happened. thank you for your service sir. >> alicia: president biden's handling drawing partisan criticism and little support for the american people. now the white house is desperate

12:17 pm
do, will they be advising president biden to do? >> you've got to understand the territory ahead and it's not a pleasant scene. the president has to get a budget passed, has to get the debt ceiling raised, wants to pass a $3.5 trillion spending package and a 50/50 set it with not a single republican supporting it and several democrats raising very serious considerations about elements of the package. he's got groups of members of the house who say we object and some of the major money raisers in this package. so there's no easy way out of this. my opinion is and he's got too much on his plate that he did not have a predicate with the american people, i don't remember him talking at all about what is in essence claim $3.5 trillion looked at all the gimmicks an end said this is five to $5.000000000000 with
12:18 pm
entitlements with no requirements for the people who receive those benefits working were trying to find work so he didn't lay the predicate for it. he's got a very rough period of time ahead of him. the best he can do is narrow it down, try to stay focused and not -- keep people's expectations low because covid will not go away, the economy won't be going and blowing like it is an inflation will not mysteriously melt away and he is getting himself, the white house telling reporters not going to talk about this anymore because first of all, the american people supported the decision and they're going to forget this by the time the 2022 election, that is cynical. it is not going to go away. we will hear bad news coming out of afghanistan in the weeks ahead and the idea that he can wash his hands and say i'm not responsible for anything bad
12:19 pm
that happens from here on out, you go talk to secretary blinken is foolish. >> griff: did he make a strategic mistake this past week when he called it an extraordinary success, the evacuation? even today, richard blumenthal, democrat senator on the armed services committee saying that he is "serious," does he have a bipartisan headache now in the way he has handled it in this past week? >> he's got a problem because think about the poles they've gone from 51% approval in the te real clear politics average when you mention as low as 43%. that means that 16%, one out of every six supporters of joe biden at the beginning of august is not disapproving of his performance today. let happened because of real events. not because people woke up and got on the wrong side of the bed

12:21 pm
very sensitive to that and that's why we work so closely with mayor giuliani. they wanted us to come. either one of them had said it be too disruptive for the president probably would not have gone. he wanted to go to be part of a solution rather than another problem. >> there were people there 24 hours a day on the pile digging through the rubble trying to rescue some of their fellow firefighters and fellow police officers are people who had been in the towers and their nerves were fraying, running out of energy. that emotion of trying to help people because it became clear they're going to be very few survivors was beginning to turn to anger so i talked with the white house and said it's absolutely critical that president bush come and be here so that those people who were working so hard and giving so much with no they weren't alone but that their efforts were appreciated and supported.
