was said on fox news, what i heard there, was not true? >> it's completely not true. by the way, we are a country of immigrants and unless you are a native-american heritage, then everybody came from somewhere else in our country, whether you came more recently or you came several hundred years ago. we all have come from somewhere else and it's the american dream that attracts the best and the brightest and the talent. legal american immigration is what we need. we have a birth rate below replacement rate and we need to have high-quality, innovative, creative people coming into our economy. kamala harris has said -- >> former u.s. -- >> thank you. >> yeah. former u.s. ambassador to canada, bruce heyman, thank you so much. i just wanted to clear that up. that does it for us this morning. ana cabrera picks up the coverage right now. right now on "ana cabrera reports," one day away. the countdown is on to a pivotal

presidential debate, adding new pressure, new polling showing this race neck and neck. and as the two political rivals prepare to face-off, trump makes an alarming new threat, suggesting he would throw out opponents, election officials, donors, even voters behind bars. also ahead, intensifying wildfires out west. evacuations in southern california as a blaze explodes in size. plus, armed and dangerous. the urgent manhunt for a suspected shooter, accused of spraying bullets at random on a kentucky highway. ♪♪ great to have you with us, thanks for being here. it is 10:00 eastern, 7:00 a.m. pacific, i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. one day to go before what could be a make or break meeting between kamala harris and donald trump on the debate stage. today the former president is

focusing on what his team calls policy time at mar-a-lago and the vice president is putting in her final day of debate prep in pittsburgh where she took some time out yesterday for a stroll with her husband and projected confidence about the philadelphia face-off. >> are you ready, madam vice president? >> i'm ready. >> she says she's ready. nbc's aaron gilchrist is there in pittsburgh, also with us, chris cillizza, reena shaw, former senior republican congressional adviser, and fernand amandi a democratic pollster and political analyst. thank you all for joining us. aaron, talk to us about what this final day of prep looks like for vice president harris. >> reporter: just a few hours left here in pittsburgh, ana, for the vice president. we expect her to leave around 4:00 or so this afternoon to head over to philadelphia. this really has been a weekend of the vice president being hunkered down with some of her closest advisers. we understand from sources she's been doing these mock debate

sessions in the hotel behind us here, she's had, as we said, her team around her, there's been someone standing in as donald trump for some of these debate sessions in particular over the last several weeks and the vice president has really been going through potential policy questions, work shopping answers to some of those things, figuring out how to weave her own story into her responses on some of these issues that may seem to be more dense in terms of facts and figures. at the same time we're also just getting a part of an interview the vice president did a couple of days ago where she talked about several things. she talked about helping small businesses, wanting to -- her ideas for helping small businesses. she announced some of that last wednesday in new hampshire and the interview that she did with radio host and comedian ricky smiley was also recorded on wednesday as she was leaving new hampshire. i want you to hear what the vice president had to say about how she's preparing for this debate and what she anticipates from her opponent donald trump.

>> he plays from this really old and tired playbook, right, where he -- there's no floor for him in terms of how low he will go. and we should be prepared for that. we should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth, and we should be prepared for the fact that he is probably going to speak a lot of untruths. he has a playbook that he has used in the past, be it, you know, his attacks on president obama or hillary clinton, so we should expect that some of that might come out. >> reporter: and the vice president went on to say very directly that she anticipates, she expects, that donald trump will lie on the debate stage and part of her preparation according to sources that our keep has spoken to is to prepare for how she will respond to him. as we understand it she intends to call him out on any lies that he may tell and she also intends to go through how she believes he's connected to project 2025 and some of what the democratic

party has called extreme ideas that are a part of that platform. the vice president as we know has not been on a debate stage of this nature in four years that she's been in office. she's going up against a canada who has debated quite often over the last several years. that's something we are going to be paying attention to. as you noted, ana, and the vice president said it on that walk yesterday, she said it on saturday when she visited a store here, she's ready for in debate. >> aaron gilchrist, thank you, with the latest reporting. chris, let's talk more about the stakes tomorrow night. a lot of voters are still getting to know vice president harris. nearly a third of likely voters in a brand-new "new york times" sienna poll say they need to know more about her. only 9% said the same about trump. so what's most important for her to define herself, contrasting her policy with trump's, or her personality? >> well, let me first say, ana, that 9% of people who feel like they should need to know more about donald trump, where have

these people been? that's a sidebar. i don't understand how you could not know about donald trump at this point. but, yes, you are right, that number, three in ten people effectively saying they need to know more about kamala harris. i will note in that same poll about two-thirds of those people said they want to know more specifically about her policies and her plans. so that's how i'm going to answer your question, which is i think she needs to tell people what she would do in office, how that might be different from joe biden which i will note in that "new york times" sienna poll joe biden very unpopular, people wanting a change from his administration, and then also i think she can draw contrast on policy with donald trump, whether it's the things he said, which are various and many, or with project 2025, which trump will try to run from, but as a political issue she should hammer him on t people know about it and they don't like it. so i think you do poorly when you try to get too personal with donald trump because he's always going to go lower than you.

i think you just have to try to make it about policy contrast, what he would do with the country, what he has done with the country versus what harris would do with the country. >> we did hear harris say there is no floor when it comes to how low donald trump can go. she can't necessarily try to match him in that sense. fernand, the same "new york times" poll shows this race nationally is a tossup, right now, one point separates harris and trump, again, within the margin of era. look at who people see as the change candidate, 53% say trump represents major change, just 25% for harris. maybe seems counterintuitive since trump was already president, he hasn't stopped talking about 2020. what do you make of it? >> well, i think that change number should be higher because trump would represent the greatest change in the history of the american republic, he would take our democracy and turn it into an authoritarian strong man likely dictatorship on day one, his own words, not mine. so those numbers don't surprise

me. look, i think with kamala harris tomorrow's debate you've got to understand this is the last major event before election day. now, people think election day in november. not true. election day starts next week when ballots in pennsylvania will begin being cast. so this is really an opportunity for her to, yes, as chris says, draw some policy contrasts, but i don't think it's really about that. i think it's about showing that voters can trust her, that she is a credible commander in chief, that she is ready to assume and become president and lead our country into a stable growth. we've had tremendous economic success over these last four years under harris and biden, and if she could continue to make that case and let trump be trump, he will not be able to resist with the insults, with the demeaning things. he wants to make it a mud fight. if she can rise above that is correct be ready for the first zinger and switch pages quickly, i think she's going to be in strong shape. >> reena, let me ask a follow on

this change candidate question. if you are the harris campaign, should you be concerned that more voters see trump as the change candidate? does it suggest the harris campaign messaging about not going back is perhaps falling flat? >> well, let me just say these numbers don't fully surprise me because of course they really suggest that folks are tying harris to biden. these past four years they are linking her directly to the success or the lack of success of this administration, depending on who you ask. so in essence these polls are -- we should look at them as a bit of a, you know, pulse to get a sense of where the electorate is, but it's not an end all, be all. i'm getting some 2016 vibes here. i think there is a sentiment out there that actually sort of supercedes these polls and the polls aren't really good at picking up. but here is my point here, trust is at the core of this election and to me election day starts day after tomorrow. because in this first matchup

between the two candidates, yes, it's personality versus policy, but kamala harris has unfortunately onus on her to strike a balance better than he can. she's going to be judged harsher because she is the underdog as she's been saying and she's, again, going to have to strike that balance of fact checking him in realtime while also very much showing and telling the american public what she's going to be about in these -- next four years and how she will be different than her current boss, president biden. that is the name of the game right now. no more talking to your camps, the people who are going to turn out. it's time to get to the middle and it starts tomorrow night. >> chris, trump went beyond his 2020 election lies this weekend in a chilling social media post he is threatening to jail lawyers, election officials, even donors declaring when i win those involved in unscrupulous

behavior will be sought out, caught and prosecuted at levels unfortunately never seen before in our country. he also said on day one he will free convicted january 6th attackers. why do you think he is amplifying this messaging and at this point what else could the harris campaign say about his rhetoric that hasn't been said? >> well, to answer your last question first, nothing. i mean, again, to me donald trump the cake is sort of baked on him. i don't know that there's anything donald trump can say or kamala harris can say about donald trump that's fundamentally going to change what people think. look, here is what we know about donald trump, he's totally known by the electorate or at least by the vast, vast -- you know, 99% of the electorate and he's not particularly well-liked, 33%, 34% approval. the issue in in race is not can donald trump get better liked in in debate or in the last two months of the campaign. that will never happen, right? the issue is can he bring harris down? can he make her a risky choice in the eyes of people? can he make her too liberal? i will just say, ana, i don't

think it's going to change any votes. but, look, i do think it's really important to reemphasize there is zero evidence of widespread or even not widespread election fraud in the 2020 election. there has, in fact, never been widespread election fraud in any election that we have ever seen in america. so, again, do i think fundamentally it alters -- no, it doesn't, but, still, facts still matter, right? facts are not a partisan position. and it's important that we know that even while i say i don't think that truth social post or anything else he posts on truth social or anything else kamala harris says about him in the debate is going to fundamentally alter how people think of him. >> former vp dick cheney has joined the chorus of republicans who refuse to back trump and are endorsing harris largely because of rhetoric we see in that post and because of january 6. reena, will those types of endorsements matter? >> they matter somewhat.

and i'm -- you know, i'm very cautious about this because this is -- what we need to take into stock here, this moment demands us looking at what votes are out there for grabs. i mean, that is the entirety of what us political professionals do at this point in the race. we try to figure out where the vote is at. if dick cheney is changing minds and hearts, great. and, look, we need these kinds of things to help harris get further than where she is right now. i will just say this, this is a feelings over fact election and i will praf gas by saying i'm a pro-democracy advocate who has been at this for eight years. i'm the child of immigrants that fled genocide. you are not going to hear an embrace in authoritarianism for me. i've never once voted for donald trump and i've been a registered republican my whole life. so i am absolutely for the cheneys and any other republican out there saying we are with harris, but we are with harris because we feel as if this is the most consequential election of our time. we let donald trump back in the

white house, you open up the gate to everything that is unamerican, revenge against enemies, the classification of certain people. remember the muslim ban? so while we can talk facts all we want, we need to talk about changing some hearts and minds where it matters. the feelings are what is casting this shred of doubt about harris being successful and casting sort of this gray cloud over this election. i mean, the fact that trump stands strong against this woman in the polls and, look, taken with a grain of salt, yes, we should all be very scared about what our fellow americans are buying. disinformation and every single person has to be part of pushing back on that. >> i do want to ask one last question related to the debate and the style that we will see on the stage given this is a different debate than we have had in many past election cycles. it will be more similar to the first debate we saw this election cycle between president biden and the former president with, you know, no mics being

open the whole time, no audience out there. let me revisit a standout debate moment for kamala harris back when she ran for president last time during the 2019 democratic primary. >> senator harris -- >> senator harris -- we will let you all speak. senator harris. >> hey, guys, do you know what, america does not want to witness a food fight, they want to know how we're going to put food on their table. >> so you heard the arguing, we hear the crowd reaction there when she delivered that line, kind of boosted that moment for her. fernand, tomorrow night given the change in the rules, should that change the approach? >> i don't think so. ana, as you saw from that clip kamala got game. she knows how to do this and will know how to do this well, the question is how will she do it going up against who is literally probably going to be

throwing mud at her every step of the way and calling her every name in the book. why is tomorrow's debate still critically important for harris? we have already seen a standard from the last debate, it forced joe biden out of the race because of his disastrous performance. if kamala comes across strong and capable that's going to boost her donors and voters and democratic base who want to come out feeling strong and good. that's why she's now doing simulations, she's anticipating every debate scenario. i think she's going to prove as she has throughout this rather flawless campaign thus far she's up to the challenge. she does well she's also going to go up in the polls after the debate tomorrow. >> fernand, chris, reena, thank you all for that spirited discussion. be sure to tune into msnbc all day tomorrow for coverage from philadelphia of the debate between kamala harris and donald trump. we've got you covered. then later that night rachel maddow and team are going to lead special coverage and analysis starting at 7:00 p.m.

eastern here on msnbc. when we're back in just 90 seconds, remember the gold star father who denounced trump at the dnc in 2016 for his treatment of minorities? well, now he's back in the spotlight and backing kamala harris. i will speak to khizr khan who lost his son in iraq about the stakes of this election and why he's speaking out now. plus, a state of emergency in california as wildfires scorched thousands of acres and prompt evacuations. and later, the manhunt in kentucky, law enforcement racing to find the man accused of shooting five people on a highway. >> we would ask that he would give himself up and we're not going to quit until we do lay hands on him. we do lay hands on him your memory is an amazing thing, but sometimes it can start to slow down. but did you know prevagen can help keep your memory sharp? the secret is the powerful ingredient, apoaequorin, originally discovered in jellyfish

hurry and get this deal before it's gone! donald trump, you're asking americans to trust you with their future. let me ask you, have you even read the united states constitution? i will -- i will gladly lend you my copy. that was back in 2016 when gold star father khizr khan denounced donald trump's

treatment of muslims and spoke in support of hillary clinton at the democratic national convention. fast forward to 2024 and he is now giving his endorsement to vice president kamala harris, saying that donald trump has only gotten worse and will be the end of democracy as we know it. gold star father khizr khan is joining us now. thank you, sir, so much for taking the time. you say trump is now worse than he was in 2016 and the stakes are even higher now. how so? >> ana, thank you. i am very concerned about the future of our country, the future of our democracy. let's take the statements of donald trump. in dayton, ohio, he stated that if he is not elected this will be end of democracy in this country. this will be the end of elections in this country. he has stated himself many a

time that he will prosecute our election workers. there is all indication by his actions and by his words, we may be all in equal dignity personally speaking, but we are electing a commander in chief, we are electing the highest office of united states. trump in his four years have proven that he's undeserving and his attorney general bill barr said it publicly that donald trump should not be elected again as president. he is a narcissist, troubled man. on the other hand, kamala harris, champion of rule of law, champion of democracy, champion for women, for equal dignity, champion for families. on the other hand, and i want your audience and the supporters

of trump to pause for a second and listen to this carefully. in 234-year history of united states, there had not been a president or vice president convicted of felony charges. here we have donald trump and that is where i say that in four years it has gotten worse. donald trump is convicted of 34 felonies and he owes $554 million fine, monetary fine, that he still owes. it has gotten worse and he has announced in his own words that i will be a dictator on day one and that is why i support kamala harris who is champion of democracy, champion of people, champion for families and for

all americans. >> your son was killed by a car bomb in iraq and is buried in section 60 of arlington national cemetery, the same area of the cemetery trump recently visited and showed in a campaign video. what went through your mind when you saw that? >> i was disgusted. i was disturbed. that he goes to same section 60 where he stood with his homeland secretary -- then homeland secretary general kelly, retired general kelly, who is a gold star father himself at his song young lieutenant kelly's grave sight and asks general kelly what is in it for them, as if he has no concept of service and sacrifice. i was disturbed to see that photo. i want his supporters to see that photo that he took on

august 24 in arlington cemetery recently. his thumb is up as if this was a political event that was taking place. i have utmost respect for the families of our fallen, our veterans and their families, utmost respect for their sacrifices. he was there to exploit, he was there to use it for political purpose. he has by his own actions he has proven himself to be undeserving of being considered for reelection. >> the trump campaign has actively pushed to keep the afghanistan withdraw and that bombing at abbey gate in the headlines, wielding it as a political attack against vice president harris. here was j.d. vance, trump's running mate, using some strong language last month. listen. >> to have those 13 americans lose their lives and not fire a

single person is disgraceful. kamala harris is disgraceful. you want to talk about a story out of those 13 brave, innocent americans who lost their lives, it's that kamala harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened and she wants to yell at donald trump because he showed up? she can -- she can go to hell. >> what do you make of that use of language and the trump campaign putting the blame on vice president harris for the afghanistan withdraw? >> ana, political civility and political discourse in our country just because of donald trump and his team had been at the lowest ever and you heard the language. i pay tribute to senator vance's service and his valor, but this is not the way to conduct a political conversation.

donald trump continued the war in afghanistan. kamala harris brought -- ended and brought our troops home. let's keep the facts straight. kamala harris ended the war and brought our troops home, whereas donald trump continued the afghanistan war. i was not surprised by this political discourse, by this incivility in our political discourse. senator vance needs to reconsider his language and his tone. he is supporting a candidate. he ought to pause and think the political legacy that republicans are building and senator vance is part of it, that they have in the last three elections, three presidential elections, this is all they have, they have nominated trump

in three last presidential elections. this time he is convicted of 34 felonies. this is a tragic -- tragedy that republicans are building. they ought to reconsider. they ought to pause and think this is not -- history will not treat them kindly. >> quickly, if you will, because of your unique perspective in having lost somebody in the military service to this country, i just have to ask you about the other comments we've heard from j.d. vance recently saying no one would want to serve in the military if vp harris was commander in chief. what do you think of that claim? >> that is -- that is beyond his position and beyond his capacity. this is -- as i said again, this is the lowest level of incivility in our political

discourse is because of trump and his team. this is -- this is beyond his capacity, beyond him. if he would pause for a second and listens to himself he will not say that again. this is -- this is what i am concerned about, that they have not considered where they stand, what they say in political discourse, how far deep they go during the political discourse and kamala harris, vice president harris, is the most honorable, law-abiding, champion of law, champion of our rule of law and we will be very proud to see her as our commander in chief. military families are the most

respected families because of their sacrifice and because of their service and we all will be very honored to have kamala harris as our commander in chief in united states. >> khizr khan, thank you very much for joining us and thank you for your family's sacrifice. i really, really appreciate you taking the time with us this morning. >> thank you, ana. next here on "ana cabrera reports," a wildfire explodes in california prompting wide-spread evacuations. plus potentially armed and dangerous, the intensifying manhunt for a man accused of shooting five people on a kentucky highway. d of shooting five people on a kentucky highway

now after quadrupling in size over the last 24 hours. not helping containment efforts, san bernardino county and riverside county are under an excessive heat warning until tonight with temperatures expected to get as high as 110 degrees. nbc's steve patterson joins us in highland, california. steve, how are conditions right now? where do the containment efforts stand? >> reporter: a state of emergency here in southern california where there's something of good news/bad news on this fire. the good news is that this is not one of those typical late season wind-driven fires. the winds have been relatively calm on this fire, which is good because it means it's essentially contained in the mountain range that you might see behind me, and good because firefighters can actually make progress. it's not moving in a bunch of different directions, which means firefighters have about 3% containment on this fire, it is small, but it's not nothing. the bad news, however, is that this fire blew up so quickly

that it essentially created its own weather pattern. there are pyrocumulus or pyro do you mean low nimbus clouds that are spawned essentially right on top of the fire and from those clouds the national weather service has already recorded thousands of lightning strikes which could absolutely change the direction or create a new front to this fire. this fire already burning in at least three different directions and there are mountain communities in all of those directions. so these places are at risk, it means school districts have closed in this area, three firefighters injured, of course, thousands of people evacuated from their homes. of course, fueling this as well the extreme ridiculous heat. as you mentioned, going to be more than 100 degrees again today and very steep, treacherous terrain. of course, this is not the only fire burning in california, 15 major fires including the bridge fire and the forest and the boyle fire in northern california already burned 30

structures. >> steve patterson, thanks very much. this morning an urgent manhunt is intensifying for the man accused of opening fire on a kentucky highway. authorities say 32 gerald joseph couch fired at oncoming traffic along interstate 75 near the city of london on saturday, hitting 12 cars and seriously injuring five people. officials have now recovered an ar-15 they say he used to carry out the seemingly random attack. couch is still on the run. police are warning he should be considered armed and dangerous. nbc's adrienne broaddus joins us from just a few miles outside that search zone in london, kentucky. where do the search efforts stand this morning? >> reporter: ana, this morning special response teams are concentrating their search near that wooded area about eight miles from where we are along i-75. now, state police have taken over the search and at one point the team had to use machetes to

cut through the thick brush. so this is a heavily, dense area, with thousands of acres. that's what investigators tell us. and because it was so foggy this morning, the start to searching today was a bit delayed, but that search has resumed and they're using helicopters, drones and dogs as they search for that 32-year-old man. we want to show his picture right now. it is joseph couch. investigators say he does have a military background, serving about four years in the national guard. they were able to recover a vehicle belonging to him on a service road and an ar-15, the weapon they say was purchased on the same day of the shooting. >> he obtained a firearm at a -- at a local place here in london, but it was obtained, you know, legally. he went through the atf, he went through all the proper paperwork. if you are not a felon or something, if you go in and fill

out the paperwork anyone can purchase the guns. >> reporter: investigators also telling us couch perched on a ledge below a cliff, firing multiple rounds, hitting 12 cars, seriously injuring at least five people. he is facing five counts of attempted murder as well as five counts of first-degree assault. ana? >> adrienne broaddus, thank you. it seems like a miracle nobody was killed in all of this. let's talk more about this with rod d'amico former member of the fbi hostage rescue team. rob, the shootings happened a couple of days ago now, so he's been on the run for some time, the search has been complicated by the area's rough terrain, the heavy foliage in this zone. what does the search look like at this point? >> now they're looking at it because he left his vehicle and the weapon, which is really kind of odd. he probably could have got away a lot further and leaving the weapon, i'm not sure he could

have another one, but it is so thick and mountainous there that when you're hacking through that brush you're just waiting for the ambush. if he's sitting in wait, he's going to hear you coming through because it's so thick, it's one of those things that you are not going to know he's there until he shoots or something happens that he inflicts on you because it's just that type of terrain. and he knows it well and he has some army tactics which could be problematic. >> knowing what we've learned about this suspect and the psychology of other assailants who carry out shootings like this, what's likely going on in the shooter's mind right now do you think and how does that guide investigators? >> you know, some of them really kind of want to get away, you look at eric rudolph who got away for years. with this one what set it up, i don't know if he's looking for an interaction, having left his car and the weapon there, what's going through his mind. he could have a mental crisis and he just did that and now he's on the run.

so part of it is going to be interviewing the family to see what was going on in his life beforehand that might have caused this. did he talk about it? does he have this fatality approach to things? so that's going to be really important to the investigators as they talk to the search teams. >> rob d'amico, thank you as always for offering us your expertise and insight. up next on "ana cabrera reports," three israelis killed in a shooting at a border crossing with jordan, what we know about that attack as all border crossings remain closed. also ahead, house republicans releasing their report on the withdrawal from afghanistan. what it finds and who they're blaming. we're live on capitol hill next. blaming. wee 'rlive on capitol hill next. , every delivery is a treat. one pistachio for you, sir. one strawberry poof, please. oh. enjoy it. oh, poofect. bye waybor. something minty? of course, it's a large.

overseas a gunman crossing the border from jordan into the occupied west bank shot dead after killing three israeli citizens. this is the first time we are seeing a conflict at the border with jordan since the october

7th attack by hamas and israel nearly a year ago. meanwhile, israelis continue to protest in the streets over the weekend, demanding the return of hostages and a ceasefire deal. cia director william burns says a new proposal should be coming in the next several days. nbc's raf sanchez is joining us from tel aviv. what further details can you share about this shooting at that border crossing in jordan and how could the regional tensions impact ceasefire talks? >> reporter: so, ana, this shooting happened on sunday at the allenby bridge, a major crossing between the west bank and jordan. israeli authorities say the shooter a jordanian national arrived at that crossing in a truck, he jumped out of the cab and he opened fire with a pistol. he killed three israeli workers at the crossing, all men in their 50s and 60s, before he was shot dead by israeli security

forces. now, the border was closed, israel and jordan both launching their own investigations. at this point hamas is praising the shooter but it doesn't appear that he was acting on the orders of hamas or any of the other palestinian militant groups. it seems likely that he was sort of inspired to carry out this attack on his own. prime minister benjamin netanyahu calling him an abhorrent terrorist, but the jordan border is usually one of the quieter ones and this just underscores the level of conflict really in all directions surrounding israel at this point. the white house's take on all of this is the single best way to calm down the regional tensions in lebanon, in yemen, from iran, is to get to that ceasefire in gaza, get the hostages out, get relief to palestinian civilians. as you mentioned, over the weekend cia director bill burns talked about the possibility of the u.s. release ago more

detailed ceasefire proposal in the coming days, but i have to tell you, ana, at this point no one is feeling very optimistic about a ceasefire anytime soon. >> raf sanchez reporting for us in tel aviv. thanks. back at home now the u.s. withdraw from afghanistan taking center stage on capitol hill. house republicans are release ago new report today where they are lambasting the biden administration, criticizing, quote, watered down warnings about crumbling security and failing to launch emergency evacuations until it was too late. republicans have tried to make this a prominent issue as the 2024 election intensifies. let's go to capitol hill and ali vitali. the timing of this report is a major question. did we learn anything new and how is the biden administration responding? >> reporter: the timing is essential here, ana, because of course this is a scathing report, one that's been in months in the making from one of the top committees here,

chairman mccaul making it public as congress comes back into session after a lengthy summer release. some of the reports key findings, it's important to point out while this comes from the republican majority on the committee, democrats on that committee are already saying that this is partisan in nature and that the timing so close to the election is suspect. nevertheless, let's look at some of the key findings here. first among them is the house foreign affairs committee republicans saying that the biden administration in their words watered down security warnings, they also allege that they waited too long to launch an emergency evacuation of american and afghan allies. but they're also saying that the embassy staff was kept large even as troops were being brought down, that of course made security on the ground that much more difficult. all of those meant to paint a picture of what this republican majority is saying is willful ignorance around what happened on the ground in that chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. >> so how does this report potentially impact the two

people trying to win the white house this november? >> reporter: well, of course, that's going to be central. you mentioned at the start of this segment that this is something especially republicans and the trump campaign have been trying to remind of not just when they were running against president biden, but now that they're running against vice president harris. in terms of her role in this withdrawal and the strategy around it, nothing new really illuminated here but we do know she has made a point to say that she was the last person in the room with the president, that she was marching in lockstep with him as this withdrawal was undertaken. but this is also a moment where -- and the report does not get too much into this, but the trump administration had a deal on the table in the waning months of their administration that the biden administration says really locked them in and constrained their ability to do too much in terms of the withdrawal. that of course is an important piece here as the afghanistan withdrawal overall we have to point out is something that both president trump and president biden agreed upon. they both agreed the u.s. needed to find a way out of that war.
