come in taiwan for being one of the free of societies in world. we come in friendship. we thank you for your leadership. we want the world to recognize that. >> despite its position it doesn't support taiwan independence, the white house says, it, also so supports. >> i said this the former senator fully respects the prerogative and frankly the responsibility the speaker of the house to travel overseas. >> he respects the speaker's decision to travel to taiwan. >> the main time on capitol hill, there has been bipartisan support for the visit and g.o.p. lindsey graham said, "we can't tell china what to do. but in the meantime, we continue to monitor china's military

mentioned weak leadership and just in the democratic party, they were not united on this. you had nancy pelosi doing one thing but how much do you think, biden's family type with china played a role in that? >> no question, our loyalty should be to the united states and the people of the united states. no one should be able to dictate our foreign policy and definitely not a transnational criminalization like the ccp. >> carley: chinese media publish this map showing the locations of several military exercises. it says that to take place around taiwan. and so certainly going on. china does take the next step and invades taiwan. what do you think about the involvement and what it would look like with the president at the time but what can we expect to have happen here in the united states?

>> affect my economy because they are so tied together. but honestly, there is nothing like the military spirit, having been in uniform for 30 years. i know where people will be ready to go. and we have ready to go and launch all their ships to support the seven fleets. but, you know, it will be a measured response. >> todd: you are obviously running as a congressional candidate. are you thinking the voters are actually paying attention to this? are they looking at her weakening stance in the world and that will impact their vote against democrats come november? >> absolutely. the three things i run on is the economy, all americans are suffering everyday when they go to the gas pump or the grocery store at. and is also directly impacted by our stance around the world. we need to have a strong

military, there is fight, flight, posture in the united states has been showing every single turn here. obviously, education is important in the district also. >> carley: it is great to have you on today with your naval background and this big revelation china has more naval ships than the united states. does that concern you? if it does, possibly turn into some hot work? how would the to the military stack up against each other? >> it goes back to the military spirit. every ship sunk in pearl harbor will was raised up by u.s. navy divers and sent back out. after 9/11, although rebels in new york to show the american might appear that is what the differences, the american grit and the american might. >> carley: hung cao thank you so much for joining us and we appreciate your insight on this topic. >> thank you. >> carley: you are very welcome.

another major foreign policy this morning, the u.s. killing al qaeda leader in a drone strike in kabul but last august president biden was listen. >> what interest do we have in afghanistan as well as getting usama bin laden and we did >> staff sergeant who is 1 of 13 soldiers killed during afghanistan and joins us now. thank you for being here. look we can all agree killing this bad guy was a good thing, but senator lindsey graham really gets the big picture question and let me read the quote.

what unnerves me as ayman al-zawahiri felt good enough being out in the open in kabul after the taliban takeover. so much for rejecting al qaeda. this is positive afghanistan has once again become a safe haven for international terrorists. your response. >> i totally agree with that. what point are we thinking that al qaeda and the taliban were not working together at some point and to allow him for however long he has been in kabul to wander the streets unfettered, access to everything that he needs to do in finding out that he was in one of the houses of taliban leaders? i mean, it makes no sense to me whatsoever. >> carley: darren, i think the

question is what does president biden do about it? does he do something about the taliban harboring the leader of al qaeda? like you said, a nice house in kabul or does he move on because one air strike is good, but does it really solve the problem? >> i don't think it does. you have the taliban who we made the bill with in order to and and granted we needed to end that but at what cost? it came at the cost of several thousand of our military and it comes at a cost of unfortunately my son and the other 12. are we ever going to get the terrorists out? i certainly hope so, yes. do i think it's going to happen? unfortunately, no.

>> todd: your son one of the service members killed during joe biden's disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan last year. when your later, how do you want your son to be remembered? >> i want to be remembered and we want him to be remembered for his big heart. that kid had literally a lion heart and was very ferocious in protecting his family and those that he loved. he was very anti-bullying. he would see somebody get picked on. he would put an end back to it. he was full of love, full of respect and full of patriotism for the country. and his melody led and training work side-by-side and respected him. he respected them. and he gave his life doing

exactly what he wanted to do. and that is defending this country. >> carley: you said he was a natural born leader. our hearts are still have the over the loss of your son and the 12 other service members who died in august of last year. darren, how has the last year for him for you and your family? >> honestly, it has been rough you take out... you take out a child, a brother, and uncle, a grandson, and what do you replace it with? we can't. the only thing that we can do is move forward and keep saying his name and in some way honor him. those ways that we are trying

our working, but make no mistake, it has been a terrible year. >> todd: darin, thank you for saying his name and sharing his memory with us once again. we appreciated. our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you, darin, thank you. >> thank you. >> todd: imagine sending your kids to college in seeing this come a shooting near the university of minnesota. in this part of the violent crime spike students are dealing with sins kicked off campus. a parent from that school joins us next. >> carley: and other migrant arrives in washington, d.c., overnight and texas governor greg abbott says he will not stop sending zip until they address the border crisis. his message coming up next. >> that is fine as long as texas has to deal with that but as soon as they have to deal with it don't make the real crisis of biden border crisis, they are up in arms calling the national guard.

>> todd: i would have to worry about roe deer but not somebody shooting me. and violence your son has experienced? >> everybody at the university know somebody who has been mocked, beat up on a daily occurrence. it has really become a public safety crisis down at the university of minnesota and minneapolis. >> as a parent, when you send your child to college, you entrust the college to take care of your child. how come safety is not priority number one for the university of minnesota? and i will argue priority number one, education? because brian, if you are dead, you cannot learn. >> you're absolutely right. where the customers. we are the ones paying. from a business standpoint, we are the ones paying and that is the revenue the university is getting. yes, i agree that should be priority number one because without students, you don't have

customers. a seat at the table to make sure that they are aware of this crisis. for us to get a seat at the table and to be a part of that solution. >> todd: this started because of ridiculous response quite frankly the killing of george floyd at the time, joe gable removed from the police from the campus. she stated the following, "i said brian peck to no longer contact the minnesota police department. we will limit our collaboration with npd to join patrols in an investigation to directly enhance the safety of our community. brian, what did they think would happen? >> yeah, common sense would tell you that is a knee-jerk reaction. the good news is we are seeing a wave of coming back, the pendulum swung one way and it's

coming back to the center. we are seeing locally that was only breaking ties with certain events. so minneapolis still an integral part of safety at the university of minnesota because it is a metropolitan university. it shares jurisdiction between the university of minnesota police and the minneapolis police department. i would say both the minneapolis police and the university of minnesota police are doing an outstanding job. they are just short-staffed. we need more police officers, and we need to get a p.r. plan in place to get out there and recruit new cadets and get people to want to become police officers so we can get these numbers up to where they are budgeted. >> todd: it is called the summer of love and the ripple effect has been nothing but love. it has been violence,

death, destruction and an environment for your son and another son on the way to the university of minnesota. thank you very much, brian peck may be a better season and a better time going up there to try to learn come appreciated. paul pelosi facing on his dui charges and you'd won't believe what else the night of his crash, plus... >> the world is going to end in 12 years with climate change. your biggest issue is how are we going to pay for it? >> talking about the reduction of our nypd budget with one billion dollar nypd budget.

community, when these people were accused, the police can't even enforce the law or get them the help they needed if they refuse services, nothing they can do about it by law. so the whole best intentions are now really to the worst results because these people are allowed to live in this squalor. and if i ever fell down, someone would help me. they are not making great choices and no one to save them. it is just the opposite of compassion. >> carley: yeah, that is right. it could turn quickly from compassion to enabling negative behavior. you say you are dealing with this on a day-to-day basis. how has this issue affected you personally in your businesses? >> yeah, we have several break-ins over covid. we daily have run aunts with people that live on the street.

for the cattle. so folks are running out of options to move their cattle. >> todd: here is the cattle inventory, down 2% since last year, down to 98.8 million. if i understand correctly, ranchers forced to sell their cows for slaughter, to slaughter come i should say. so if mommy cal is not around to make baby cows, how much will work at number dropped? well, we are not sure and we wait for usda to command for those statistics but the reduction is attributed to many things throughout input cost. it is a business adjustment that we have to make. it is not pleasant. it is not fun. it is part of what we do. >> todd: let's get into those costs up 12%, causing the sell-off. how much of that surge, in your estimation, beef prices with feed, fuel, fertilizer, et cetera? >> you know, some of it affects us.

way. the thing that affects the input, the cost, is bad decisions or any administration that has decisions or rules of policy that affect our ability to do everyday commerce. that price of fuel is one of the biggest because everybody pays for transportation, whether it is on the way to be processed or on its way to the grocery store appear that has a big hand on fixed production, tractors, trucks anything to run a ranch and operation of. we are really a big carbon footprint and reduce that by 30% in the last 40 years with raising as much beef as we do now with only 70% of cattle. so we still have some challenges, but that is kind of where we are at. >> todd: work that was a diplomatic act when it comes to the biden administration. what do you need the biden administration to do or not do to reverse this to make ranchers whole again and bring the beef
