and frankly irresponsible spending spree on going to go on tomorrow is going to cost us nothing thanks to biden math. >> bret: there you go. zero. just tell them that. thank you all. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. "fox news primetime" hosted by brian kilmeade who may have his own headline starts right now. >> brian: i'm sorry, bret. i wasn't watching toward the end of the show. i'm captured and caught up in this book that i was promod was coming out yesterday. i was a week early. so i apologize. >> bret: preorders. >> brian: it's called "to rescue the public" congratulations on it we will talk about it all week. can go party. meanwhile it's time for "fox news primetime." hence the animation. i'm brian kilmeade. tonight alaska senator dan sullivan sparred with america's top three generals. he will bring us the inside story. that's exactly what he looked like today on the catastrophic exit from afghanistan. then we will talk to lee zeldin

you know lee zeldin the congressman from new york who wants to be the governor from new york. he will join us on why there is a massive number of hospital workers who find themselves suddenly jobless in new york. weren't they just heros? and here is west virginia governor jim justice the richest guy in west virginia and he wants to run the state and he has run the state successfully. but now he wants to coach a basketball team and suddenly people have a problem with it and finally we will close the show with one of america's finest comedians michael loftus. he wants to get to the bottom of eli manning monday two finger salute we which we can't afford the rights to actually show you. we will end the show with that we will start on capitol hill where american military leaders finally told us on what we knew all along president biden nailed afghanistan and trying to cover it all up. remember last month when the president said this to abc news? >> your top military advisers warned against withdrawing on this timeline they wanted to you to keep 2500 troops. >> no they didn't that was split that wasn't true. >> no one told your military

advisers did not tell you no we should just keep 2500 troops. >> no. no one said that to me that i can recall. >> brian: so that was then. and this is now. >> i recommended that we maintain 2500 troops in afghanistan. >> my assessment was back in the fall of about 20 and remained consistent throughout that we should keep a steady state of 2500 and could bounce up to 3500. >> brian: something is not adding up. the president ignored the advice of his top generals and guess what happened? the entire country of afghanistan chanced after 20 years. joe, were you really that surprised? >> back in july you said a taliban takeover was highly unlikely. you didn't put a timeline out when you said it was timely unlikely you said it's highly unlikely the taliban would take over. >> the idea that the taliban would take over was premised on the notion that the -- somehow the 300,000 troops we had trained and equipped was going to just collapse, were going to give up. i don't think anybody anticipated that. >> brian: really? people really that surprised?

have you been watching all along? there was zero indications the taliban were going to take a brisk walk to kabul? are you serious? watch. >> i think there was a lot of intelligence that clearly indicated that after we withdrew that it was a likely outcome of a collapse of the military and collapse of the government. >> i also have a view that the withdrawal of those forces would lead inevitably of the collapse of the afghan military forces and eventually the afghan government. >> brian: he is 0-2. let's see if we can make it 0 for 3. remember when he told us on august 31st that the terrorists in afghanistan had diminished? remember that? >> remember while we went to afghanistan in the first place? because we were attacked by usama bin laden and al-qaeda over a decade ago. al-qaeda was disseminated. >> brian: right. and he also said they were out of afghanistan. nobody thought that was the truth. and general milley today had something to say about it.

>> brian: reconstituted al-qaeda or isis with aspirations to attack the united states is a very real possibility. and those conditions to include activity in ungoverned space could say present themselves in the next 12 to 36 months. >> brian: you see what's going on here. the hits keep coming from the white house perhaps none more outrageous than this. >> left with a simple decision. either follow through on the commitment made by the last administration and leave afghanistan or say we weren't leaving and commit another at the presents of thousands more troops. >> brian: you are the president. if you don't think that plan you were left with will work pull out of it as north carolina senator thom tillis pointed out. >> president biden could have come in, reasserted conditions, and completely exchanged the timeline. he's knot bound by the president's prior agreements any more than he was bound by the president trump's decision to exit the iran deal or the paris

climate accords. >> brian: so the commander-in-chief you lead, you lead and other people follow. president trump was against the iran nuclear deal and paris accords so he pulled out of both of those deals. he didn't just stay in because his predecessor made a deal he couldn't get out of. you know joe biden has no problem getting out of donald trump deals. so, to recap. let's go through it president biden told us he couldn't recall if he was advised to leave troops in afghanistan. we remember they remember. he said it was us -- said to us it was impossible to predict the afghan government would collapse. that didn't add up. he promised us al-qaeda was disseminated and one point said they were out and the afghan evacuation was forced by decisions made by a prior president. that didn't add up. so, spoil alert. president biden's narrative does not square with the truth. where is the accountability? here now is alaska senator still in the military dan sullivan himself who took part in the hearings and was quite incensed and on point. senator, what was your take away today? >> well, look, brian, you summed it up really well.

there is two main takeaways here. first of all, this foreign policy fiasco is solely the responsibility of one person joe biden. he was told by his generals what would happen if he removed the troops that were in afghanistan and that came to pass. you just showed that. the second one is that the president has not been leveling with the american people at all during this fiasco. we went through a number of things where i pressed the witnesses today on things that the president has said. you mentioned a number of them. the president said that our -- his generals recommended that it there should be no forces in afghanistan. that was not true. this president said that al-qaeda was gone from afghanistan. that was not true. the president said that our military would stay until all americans were out of the country. that was not true. and, brian, this is the big one.

the president continues to say this fiasco was, quote: an extraordinary success. i asked general milley that. general milley in the hearing today called it a strategic failure. so, look, these lies, these are not some kind of minor misstatements. these were huge fabrications at the heart of this foreign policy fiasco. life and death deceptions that we finally were confirming in the hearing today. >> brian: senator, you couldn't have known because you were busy but jen psaki was asked who were the generals that advised the president to pull out since he said he got reports from both sides? she could not name one. and the other story was general milley himself. he was, you know, he was chronicled in few books saying that he wanted to keep troops there. he thought it was a bad move to leaf. he also -- you asked him about his call with the -- his counterpart in china. listen.

>> general milley, do you think if the chinese communist party decided to invade tijuana, would their military leadership call and give you a heads up? do you honestly think that. >> i know i would call him and ask him. >> no i'm asking do you think he would give you a heads up? >> i think. >> on the invasion of taiwan. >> i think an invasion of taiwan would be a fairly obvious thing to pick up on. >> >> brian: senator, he didn't answer your question but what was your question based on. >> look, appears an obvious point, right? i made it clear in the hearing. there is no way that a chinese pla leader would do that. xi jinping would have him shot if somehow he gave american generals a heads up on an invasion of taiwan. so i was pressing this issue because it's a very important issue that was in the book that's been quoted in the papers that said that general milley

promised to actually do that. but, as he also said in his testimony, there was absolutely no indication whatsoever that former president trump was going to start any war. so i was pressing this issue because it's a really important one. right now, the book says one thing that was in the "the washington post." general milley says something else. but i think it's really important, as we are going to continue to do oversight to get to the bottom of this, and also importantly, the bottom of the issues that were front and center in the hearing today on afghanistan and joe biden's foreign policy fiasco and how he owns it. >> brian: he crushed the credibility of measure and earn it back because of one man's decision that's clear. and also, it's inco-prehence cybil that general milley would admit cooperating with peril by bob woodward. frankly we didn't win this election with michael bender and i alone can fix it by phil rut kerr and another author.

why is he as the joint chiefs of staff worried about bob woodward's book sales. it makes no sense unaccept acceptable and inexcusable. senator, i know you are not only a senator but serving in the military. a lot of great member and women fought over there and they deserved a better verdict. thank you, senator. >> thank you. >> brian: you got it meanwhile, remember whether joe biden said we wouldn't leave anyone behind in afghanistan? >> americans should understand the troops might have to be there beyond august 31st. >> no. americans should understand that we are going to try to get it done before august 31st. >> but if we don't the troops will stay. >> if we don't we will determine at the time who is left. >> and? >> and if there are american -- if there is american citizens left, we are going to stay until we get them all out. >> brian: he had to be prodded to say that, but shouldn't he be forced to back up his word? that's what senator josh hawley found out that, in fact, the president did not live up to that statement at all. >> isn't it true that you have

left americans behind on august the 31st? >> there are americans, there were americans that were still in afghanistan and still are. >> brian: yes. the answer is yes. how hard is it to say yes. you left hundreds, if not thousands behind. here to react are lieutenant colonel scott manning who tried to get him out himself former green beret and founder of task force bine apple sean parnell and pennsylvania senate candidate. i will start with you, scott. of course we left people behind. you wouldn't have to scramble, give up your job, put together a task force and try to get them out as a retired guy. did that outrage you? thanks, brian for having me on. what's frustrating to so many of our retired veterans right now there are still thousands of at risk afghans who are being hunted and executed right now. look, there are partner special operations forces from the commandos and afghan special

forces and afghan interpreters that fought until the last bullet. the last bullet. now they are being hunted down and we are just focused on anything that we can do to work with the government and private sector to get them out any way that we can. >> brian: scott, it's unbelievable, sean parnell, because you fought over there you put your life on the line over there your friend lost their lives over there. now you have the people that are allied or close to you running for their lives. we don't even have a plan or as senator blumenthal requested some type of czar in charge of getting people out. one by one. we have to do it one by one. >> yeah. it's an unbelievable slap in the face, by the way, to anybody who has served this country for the last 20 years to have joe biden trot out to the podium and call the withdrawal or surrender, really in afghanistan an extraordinary success. and joe biden, by the way, he intended to lie and deceive the american people from day one on afghanistan. look no further than his conversation with president

ghani of afghanistan in late july where he tried convince president ghani to tell the world that the taliban was not as strong as we knew that they were. and in exchange for military aid from the united states of america. so joe biden intended to deceive the american people all along. and as a result, we are seeing this disastrous surrender in afghanistan. we got americans left behind. thousands of our allies left behind. one of our final acts in afghanistan was killing an aide worker and seven children and what blows me away beyond all of this is that no one has been held accountable. >> brian: i know. >> unbelievable to me that the only person that's been held accountable is lieutenant colonel in the marine corps front towards enemy simply called for accountability in a very professional way he is in jail tonight and that's unacceptable. >> brian: until his trial comes up. we hope to talk to his parents tomorrow. 1k09, i know you work with the defense department you don't want to burn any bridges i

understand that. today the they say state is handling it. you know the state department has been no help. we have 10,000 people who have a reason to say they helped america and legitimate americans. what is your plan of action and your message to washington? >> yeah. i would just say that we have actually got tens of thousands of at risk afghans right now, brian, that have no way out if the private sector and the public sector doesn't continue to work together on this. my concern is that the only conversation on this rice right now is what went wrong. believe me, i believe that conversation has to happen and i think it will happen and you all are pressing that what i also worry about is what are we doing right now. >> brian: i know. >> to get out the tens of thousands that we made a commitment to. that's where i think we need to continue not just a conversation, but meaningful action that shows how we are getting them out, moving them anyway that we can right now that seems to be slipping away in the news and in the conversation and that worries me more than anything. >> brian: we have got hear about people getting out and have people sitting on either side of

you and you telling me how they did it and the land bridge that worked and we're not there yet. sean parnell, do me a favor, win the election get on the armed services committee getting on these guys and hold these women accountable. >> you can bet that i will, brian. one of will be how rereform select and promote general officers. right now i think at the top echelons of our military too many leaders concerned with their bough and not their wake. we need recognition service at the core of everything we do in the military and never leaving americans behind. >> brian: my message to the next ochairman of the joint chiefs of staff from bob woodward let it go to voice mail. thanks. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, we get back to work. president obama is back and he wants everyone to pay their fair share in taxes. does everyone include his best friend in the world joe biden? because he owes $500,000. but, first, it's vaccine uprising on the streets of new york. frontline workers fighting back

♪ chanting [bleep] joe biden. >> brian: that's in a place where joe biden won by a lot of points. they're kind of angry. maryland welt joins me now worked as certified nursing assistant for 16 years and now faces termination over being unvaccinated. you are not fired yet. they're just not on the schedule. you said i'm not going to get vaccinated why do you not want to get vaccinated and is it worth your job? >> yes. i don't want to get vaccinated. because i don't want it in my body. right now it's not -- it's still -- it's still not -- it came too quick. they got the vaccine too quick and i'm -- i don't want it moo my body.

>> brian: did you already have the virus. >> yes, i did. i had it in february before it came are for them to say covid-19. i don't know what i had when i was sick. >> brian: you recovered from it and went back to work? >> yes, yes. >> brian: okay. so when you heard about it. >> my daughter had came down with it. >> brian: okay. your daughter had it. you had it. and you both came out of it? >> yes. >> brian: so do you have the antibodies? >> yes. >> brian: all right. did you explain that to your hospital? >> no. they didn't ask. >> brian: all right. you just said hey listen i'm not getting vaccinated. what did they say? >> [no response] >> marilyn, what did they say when you told them "i'm not getting vaccinated?" >> they asked me i said no. they said okay, well we are going to have to take you off the schedule. >> brian: what are you going to do for work? you might not be eligible for

unemployment. what are you going to do, marilyn? >> i'm going to do -- i'm just going to have to come out of nursing and look for something else. >> brian: wow. marilyn, thanks so much. appreciate you joining me. sorry you are going through this. if they would just give you an antibody test they would see that you are immune they don't want to do it. marilyn, thank you. >> yes. you are welcome. >> brian: all right. meanwhile, new york governor kathy hochul mandates are not enough to force you into getting a vaccine maybe bringing up god will help? >> do you know there is people out there who are not listening to god and what god wants. you know this. you know who they are. i need you to be my apostles. i need you to go out and talk about it and say we owe this to each other. we love each other. jesus taught us to love one another and how do you show that love but to care about each other enough to say please get vaccinated because i love you. i want you to live.

>> brian: really, so if you don't get the vaccine you don't like jesus. story university suspending the pay of 200. catholic university series is laying off 100. north welt 65. this is all coming down right now are we ready to lay off all these people in our hospitals that already have for the most part between 85 and 92% vaccination rate? representative lee zeldin from new york and long island is also running for governor of new york, a republican. congressman, how did we get to this place? >> it doesn't have to be this way. how we got to this place over the over the course of the last year and a half people like marilyn and her colleagues all across new york. they were working. they were essential workers. hailed as heroes as frontline workers. many got exposed to covered themselves. they're worried about bringing covid back home to their families. they were sick, recovered, they saw death around them. it was a stressful setting. i remember this time last year you had president biden as a candidate, kamala harris as a candidate all attacking this

vaccine saying that it couldn't be trusted. and then a few months later they decided that they would get the vaccine but joe biden said that it shouldn't be mandated. fast forward to now, these people are going to be out of work? they should be praised and thanked as heroes for all of their efforts this last year and a half. but, unfortunately, you have people who aren't looking at the reality that n-95 mask and consistent testing could be an adequate substitute to this mandate that instead is going to put people out on the streets. lastly, i would point out that kathy hochul is talking about replacing these people with national guardsmen who are medical professionals. well, talking about the chaos that that's going to cause to the system. these are civilian medical professionals, so now they are going to be removed from whatever they do currently in new york's healthcare system to go work somewhere else in some new setting so it's going to cause a lot of chaos and disruption on top of firing

people that don't need to be fired. >> brian: one people in a flooding putting sandbags together and next moment delivering babies. fantastic. what about bringing up god? god gave us this vaccine. if you like god you will get this vaccine. is that going to work? >> it's so wrong to go there. i actually have never heard of anyone in elected office thinks that highly of are themselves they will start communicating to their residents and their constituents as if they are some messenger between them and god. and then calling on new yorkers to be her apostles? i mean, i don't know like really what she -- when she looks in the mirror what she is viewing of herself yes, she ascended to become the governor of the state of new york. she was a lieutenant governor and now she is the governor. but, that doesn't mean that all of a sudden you have some new ability to be communicating on behalf of god to new yorkers and all new yorkers become your apostles.

it's pretty wild ton top of it, as she is communicating to people like this whether you are essential healthcare workers, teachers, working in the court system all across new york, you are bringing that heavy hand on top of the vaccine mandates where that struggling small business owner now has to turn down a good paying customer because they either didn't show their vaccine passport are not vaccinated. this is more than just one mandate. it's a chaos disruption she is creating. can knock off this whole voice from god business. >> brian: first one to president trump. i don't know if she can handle that chain of custody. home care entities have to get vaccinated by october 7th. schools in new york city by friday. and now in erie county, 20% of their staff affiliated with nursing homes are calling it quits. in albany, albany medical center 200 employees of 11,000 have

failed to get their first shot. look, i got vaccinated but the president of the united states yelling at you mandating it. the vaccination rates gone down. the american people don't like to be told what to do with their healthcare. final thought where this is heading. 49 other states are going this. >> yeah. you are right. these other governors, other mayors, the president of the united states are all looking in places like new york and looking to replicate it everywhere. we have to push back and this is a failure on the part of these democrats not communicating, not -- without the adequate dialogue without building trust and now building the heavy hand carrot stick they are miscalculating this one. there is going to be a huge blow back. >> brian: 92% of medical workers have gotten vaccinated. take a win. please. we were told 75% would be enough. you moved the goal post. congressman, you look great. so glad you are beating leukemia on a best of basis. best of luck with your run. get the nomination and i think she is going to be your opponent. >> thank you, brian.

>> brian: assume on prime governor jim justice is the governor of west virginia. he really want to coach a high school basketball team. why won't they let him? but, first, what do you do when you your agenda is on the brink of disaster? 1-800-obama.

knows it's ridiculous. he wants to get it through because this is a legacy push, this is a legacy bill. president biden has failed on every other attempt at some sort of legacy up until this point. and there's all kinds of gifts in that bill and there is all kinds of kickbacks in that bill like, of course, the democrats have told us that they were going to do this since obama was in office, right? never let a good crisis go waste. we knew the second that we figured out covid wasn't killing every single american and there weren't americans dying in the street. we knew democrats were going to take this crisis and try to turn it to their advantage to try to pass as much of their progressive agenda as possible. i think it's really important to know that there are other things in the bill that don't have anything to do with the spending but are really going to affect the american economy like the pro-act. it's hidden in there in the bill. the pro-act will end independent contracting. that means people like who me,

brian, won't be able to show up on fox news. we won't be able to conduct our podcast. we won't be able to do our individual businesses. it's all kinds of insidious things pushed through in this bill. i mean, this is just biden's attempt at a legacy. he has always sort of resented that obama gets the legacy to be the first black president. he has got to do something big or he is just going to be remembered as a bumbling old fool. >> brian: i know why your podcast is successful. you are on point on r. miranda, debt ceiling republicans say raise it yourself. there is a continuing resolution pass it yourself. and then republicans said i will help you with the 1.2 trillion left said we don't want the 1.2 trillion. the 3.5 that the left want that sane moderates like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema and congressman murphy in florida don't want this is intramural fight on the democratic side.

>> this is all owned by the democrats they control every leave of power in washington. the republicans are not in any position. why should they help them? the fact is that joe biden has zero political capital left through his own incompetence and bungling and also his betrayal of the american people who he tell he would be unionfying competent america is back president. he has done the exact opposite dividing the country and making us a laughing stock on the international stage with the afghanistan withdrawal. i think the most telling story from all the sagging poll numbers that he has is a rasmussen pool this week which showed that 59% of americans agree with mitch mcconnell when he said that the radical left is using this temporary terrible pandemic to usher in permanent socialism and joe biden is either powerless to stop them or he is on board with them. either way, 59% of the american people is against it. >> brian: real quick, last

minute. i want you both to weigh in. look at this footage from joe manchin he has a house boat where he lives in washington. they are protesting outside his house boat like they did harassing people in restaurants, going to their homes during the trump years. now, they don't like moderate democrats. they are protesting outside his home. the democrats in arizona protesting outside kyrsten sinema's home. the president of the united states one-on-one with manchin. one-on-one with cinema desperately trying instead of twisting arms, breaking arms. will all this work? >> i feel lining he is going to make them dig in even further. to tell you the truth, just pass me the popcorn, you know. i'm here for it. >> brian: miranda, when it's all said and done, do they get a trillion through and call it a victory? do they just do bipartisan or do they swing and miss on both? >> i think they are going to miss everything this week. the last time i saw joe manchin he showed himself fishing back in his home state of west virginia. i don't think he is too worried.

>> brian: governor, great to seeing greenbrier historic resort that you owned that's got-nuclear past from the cold war, it was great to see it and we could see ton fox nation. governor, thanks for having me and i will talk to you again soon. >> all right. see you november the 7th. >> brian: yes in charleston, west virginia. meanwhile straight ahead we finish up with comedian michael loftus he is going on the clock and taking on eli manning finally and that's exactly what he looks like. he is live or else he wouldn't check his watch on television. ♪ ♪ we are not getting you a helicopter. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

speaker 1: but everything looks like the clear. no ugly white spots in there. speaker 2: all gone. yay! [all laughing]

♪ ♪ >> brian: folks, it's that time again to go on the clock. our guest tonight is michael loftus, four topics, 60 seconds, will you accept the challenge? >> accept the challenge. >> brian: good, because we have no understudy. you are it. last night eli manning told a 9-year-old counter -- an eagles fan welcoming him to philly.

>> you go to philly, you're getting a double bird right away from a 9-year-old kid in the same things about my mom. >> he exley proceeded to show us exactly what the double bird looked like. we can't show it, we don't have the rights, but how does that ever happen to where people greet you like that? after all, the first thing you say is you are pro-trump and some crowds. >> it happened to me one time. i was at the brian kilmeade family barbecue. i was greeted with a double bird! >> brian: which was wrong and i really resent -- i resent my brother doing that and most of my extended family because most of the things they've said about you are important but eli manning is the nicest guy in the world, he's the only guy that could look cute saying that, am i correct? >> i think you are and it's proof of just how much money eli manning has. he doesn't even -- he just whips out the double bird on tv. i came close, but i'm not rich

enough. >> brian: exactly, so you pulled back. shaquille o'neal is one of the biggest stars in the world in every way but don't call him a celebrity. listen to this slam-dunk. >> these celebrities are going freaking crazy. i denounce my celebrity nest today. >> is it possible to denounce your celebrity news? in all seriousness, most of her friends are celebrity from kevin james on down, can you renounce celebrity-hood? and you are! >> i think you can renounce celebrity hood. here's the thing, i think your love affair with celebrity is directly affected by your time in los angeles, and he got out of l.a. a long time ago. l.a., it's like that movie where you fall asleep and you turn into an alien. that's what it is, so good for him, that's true leadership. he just came short of like whipping out his bible and having an exorcism on celebrities, which we need more of. >> brian: by the way, he is

more of the greatest guys you will meet and he's already in the hall of fame, what does he have to prove? a danish museum lead an artist -- recreate two of his oldest pieces of art that were made with cash. instead he kept a cash and turned in two and to canvases, you're looking at right now, calling installation "took the money run." the question is, is that and to campus better than this hunter biden which is now for sale for anyone's taking? what would you pay more for? >> i tell you, i'm going to pay more for the empty canvas, because it means more to me. when the guy -- this is a great -- i love like a liberal on liberal crime, right? because the art dealership, they are all liberals, the artist, he's a liberal, they're both ripping each other off. this ardent solution should have been called "social security where you give out a bunch of money and you get nothing in return. >> brian: writes. so there you go, that takes a lot of guts and at least he called it what is was. meanwhile, and you will love

this story. andrew cuomo's trying to ditch his dog after he left the governor's mansion industries. i guess the captain is back in good graces because he's really liking this dog. posted some exciting pictures of the two on instagram, being that he's now unemployed, is this a real relationship? is there real love between these two, or is this somebody trying to repair an image for a come back? >> that's all it is! i feel bad for the dog. he strapped on the boat, he can't go anywhere, he's cornered by the former governor, and then he's got to kiss him. this is exactly what got cuomo fired in the first place! he hasn't learned his lesson. i want to teach that dog to talk because i guarantee his first words are "i'd like to join a lawsuit." >> brian: that would be very interesting but governor cuomo, i think we're going to see him again. i'm glad you're back in new york and you renounce your celebrity-hood in california. >> i rebuke it.
