jillian: let's start off with this story because congressman dan crenshaw is fined $5,000 for bypassing the metal detectors installed in the capitol. a house ethics committee press release says the texas representative refused to go through the detectors. he will have the money deducted from his paycheck, he was among the republicans who called out speaker nancy pelosi for bypass ing the detectors without facing a fine in february. >> the nba announcing it will withhold pay from unvaccinated players who missed games in cities enforcing mandates. chi kyrie irving stands to lose the most at $400,000 per home game: mayor bill deblasio pleading for the brooklyn mets guard to get the shot and irving maintaining his vaccination status is private. the nba estimates 90% of players will be vaccinated before the season starts on october 19. >> the decision to ban backpacks at one idaho school district is causing chaos on campus. students carrying their books

listen to a clip of my conversation with crenshaw. >> people don't know what it is, but now there's a, one of the scholars who developed critical race theory more than 30 years ago. today she's a law professor at columbia and ucla. she told me she saw all of this coming. >> i've been trying to tell people for at least six months that the effort to respond to the reckoning of last summer, the reckoning about george floyd, the reckoning about breonna taylor and ahmaud arbery was going to metastasize into a backlash. and that was looking for a name. a bogeyman. it was looking for some concept or group that all the anxieties that were unleashed around the reckoning would attach itself to. and in september, when then. president trump stepped forward and said it was critical race theory, i thought, okay, so they found their bogeyman. >> has critical race theory trickled down from academia into our public school him? do you see evidence of that? >> well, i mean, i can't say that i'm answering calls every day about, you know come to our school board, talk about critical race theory. i'm not m

[laughter] reporter: congressman crenshaw, thank you for taking the question. what was your reaction to seeing taliban use american military equipment and what kind of threat does that represent? is there enough that is operable that could be used by other parties outside afghanistan, or to raise money for the taliban if they choose to sell it? rep. crenshaw: the feeling everybody gets is disgrace, embarrassment, anger, that we allowed this to happen. it is worth noting, the administration knew, whether the intelligence assessment is two days, six months, it was definitive that the taliban would take over and therefore take over that equipment we left for afghan allies. they went through with this plant knowing that. it is really important point. what are they going to do with this equipment? some of it they cannot operate. they had the gun to the head of the afghan army pilots flying helicopters. but they can sell these things to iran, make a lot of money off of them. weapons come they can continue to operate those. one of the biggest advantages in special ope

here to save me texas congressman dan crenshaw.dn't know $3 trillion bill was free. >> it's not free. nothing is free, brian, i'm sorry but i can't give you a good explanation for this because there isn't one i will tell you what it's well above $3 trillion. the new estimates on it based on actually going through it and the budget committee are almost $4.5 trillion. and there is only about $2 trillion in tax increases. so, i know math is hard for democrats and especially so for the ones who govern but this math doesn't work out. the other really interesting thing about this is their lack of understanding about basic economics. biden says it cost zero dollars. that's like when i go buy a cup of coffee because i pay for it doesn't cost anything. of course it costs something. i think what this bill really boils down to is straight up bribery for the progressive agenda, for the progressive activists and trying to bribe the american people. i will tell you what, because of this bill you might need those bribes because it's going to kill

crenshaw, for his five minutes of questions. rep. crenshaw: >> mr. crenshaw. you need to unmute. all right. rep. crenshaw: ok >>. proceed. rep. crenshaw: thank you madam chair, dr.. when you make determinations on drug approvals and emergency authorizations would you ever use data or studies that have been rejected in peer-reviewed? dr.cavazzoni: if i understand your question correctly, you are preparing -- referring to peer review in clinical journals. when we look at the data and consider approval, we look at the totality of the data presented to us. so, we do not necessarily exclude data on the basis of where they were published. the data provided to us by the sponsor. we also look at everything else that we can find in the public arena, including published journals. rep. crenshaw: this is not a trick question. i think the fda has relied on large decision or a single study rejected in peer review. right? it is not a trick question. dr.cavazzoni: i do not take it as such, congressman. i cannot think of an entrance -- an instance where this may have not -- may or may not have pl

i went to crenshaw high school.alk about choice in public school in a way that can be working for the average republican. >> crime in this state is just devastating. as governor, what do you do given proposition 47 which is already on the books, anything under $950, you're not seeing a lot of police activity. >> i won't release 20,000 prisoners early because of coronavirus and based on stats most of them likely to reoffend, 70,000 people have been released early, many were violent offenders. i won't have the false narrative the police are out to get black people. 85% of black people say want power to be the same or remain increased, this is common sense stuff. one reason majority of hispanics want this man recall is lack of choice in school and crime. people who are disproportionately hurt by, the black and brown people liberals care about. laura: you are the subject of a lot of attacks from the la times, local california pundits and so forth accusing you of everything from brandishing a gun to using the n word, it

i went to crenshaw high school.alk about issues like choice in public schools in a way that gives me more credibility than the average public end. >> laura: the crime in the state is just devastating. as governor, what do you do there given prop 47 which is already on the books? anything under $150 who are not seeing a lot of police have cavity. >> i want to release 20,000 prisoners early because of the coronavirus and based on stats most of them are likely to reoffend. gavin newsom had something like 70,000 people released early. many of them have been violent offenders. i want to die. i won't have this false narrative route to get black people. 81% of black people according to a recent poll so they want policeman power to be increased. this is just common sense stuff. it's one of the reasons why the majority of hispanics want this man recalled because of lack of choice in schools and because of crime. the people that it is appointed by, the very black and brown people and love the state of the care about. >> laura

steve: plus retired navy seal and texas congressman dan crenshaw is going to tell you how he plans tohem to reach you... is what business is all about. it's what the united states postal service has always been about. so as your business changes, we're changing with it. with e-commerce that runs at the speed of now. next day and two-day shipping nationwide. same day shipping across town. returns right from the doorstep, and deliveries seven days a week. it's a whole new world out there. let's not keep it waiting. as someone who resembles someone else... i appreciate that liberty mutual it's a whole new world out there. knows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

representative crenshaw: a little bit. it does seem we will add funding to this, but there's problems with the way we are modernizing the process, by which we actually approve and plan for these projects. how can we do better on that? ms. wallace: that's a great question. broadly speaking, we are working with state partners and local partners. all hands on deck. that leads to an approval process. on a lower missouri river, for example, after the 2019 flood, there was a community that worked to expand the river floodplain, and that came at a local level, but the state and federal governments endorsed it. they knew they needed to recover somehow. that is a great example that should be highlighted across the country as a way -- all levels of government, down to the residents who live there to come up with a solution that takes into account current flooding and what is projected long-term. representative crenshaw: i've run out of time. high yields back. -- high yields back. -- i yield back. >> thank you, madam chair for holdin

congressman dan crenshaw tweeted, "are you people trying to start a full-on le volt? honestly, what the hell is wrong with democrats? leave people the hell alone. this is insanity." full-on revolt, what do you think he meant by that? it's amazing how common it's become for republican politicians to threaten something like full-on revolt in the face of policies they do not like. we've got a lot of vaccination requirements in this country. i bet you dan crenshaw has had to get vaccinated for i don't know, his service in the armed forces or enrolling in school. and we have them all for the same reason. because communicable diseases communicate. they move through populations. even vaccinated populations. it's just a numbers game. today that was a clear message from president biden. the summer's been brutal in many parts of the country, particularly throughout the south. too many american lives lost. too many preventable deaths. and we head into the fall and winter with school back in session. it's time to reset our priorities to battle this horrible disease together throu

. >> bill: want to bring in dan crenshaw, former navy seal. good morning to you. a couple of things i want to go through. "washington post" reporting we left 100 government-sponsored journalists behind, wow. all kinds of reporting out there from our correspondents at the pentagon and "politico". majority of the sivs did not get out. the brass came out to answer questions. they took a speech each and took a grand total of three questions. here is one of them. watch. >> i can tell you from personal experience that this is a ruthless group from the past and whether or not they change remains to be seen. >> any possibility of coordination against isis k-? >> it's possible. >> i would not want to make any predictions. i would tell you that we are going to do everything we can to make sure we remain focused on isis-k. >> bill: were you satisfied with that, sir? >> well no. one of the questions that keeps getting asked is how are we going to deny terrorist safe havens now? over the horizon ops you keep talking about are all nonsense. as a guy planning those kind of opera

crenshaw, for five minutes. mr. crenshaw: thank you, madam chair. i rise today because our border is still in crisis. i rise today to bring attention to the dereliction of duty by this president occurring at our southern border. most of all, i rise to ask this -- can we all stop pretending? can we stop pretending this administration deserves any benefit of the doubt, pretending that it's a tough situation beyond their control, pretending that this administration and, frankly, the entire democrat party have any intention of solving the border crisis? stop pretending as if this isn't purposeful. because it is. every single policy measure you partake in results in more illegal immigration, then it stands to reason using the powers you want more illegal immigration. let's stop pretending otherwise. while we're at it, let's also stop pretending that more than a tiny fraction of these illegally crossing our border have any valid claims to asylum whatsoever. we all know it. we all know they are coming because it's easy and because america is a pretty great

they're crenshaw high school sweetheart, and we had no ambitions at all to even become famous. my mom only wanted me to act like maybe i should want to go to college, but that would write it easy away. and so when it happened, it hit all of us my surprise and my mom actually had one thing that she was absolutely passionate about. he's not leave in public school. i radically would be a dire run of that show. i was in public school, the entire doctor, you don't want you to out in the area she different than the other. can her mom in her mind that somehow kept me kept me more normal, more ground and listen when it came to bullying and certain other instances? yes, it did. we didn't have cell phones of camera phone back then. ever they won captured . and you know, i lives with a that i look back at now. i'm like a call that would be the issue with the church. and i got my, i remember this may be one of my lunch money every day. and you said if you tell anybody about this a little more and i listen, i don't look guy, i can still at 67, get our thing up my spine. but look back on at

the bill by florida senator rick scott while dan crenshaw will introduce a companion bill in the houseims to protect americans having to provide medical records to catch a flight or do business across state lines. >> no jab no job, nearly 600 united airlines employees are facing termination after failing to comply with the carrier's covid 19 vaccine policy, 2000 other employees hanging in the balance as they challenge the airline after reportedly failed to approve their accommodation request was one of those employees, united airlines pilot laura cough joins me. it is my understanding that you have been moved from all flight you file the medical exemption from the vaccine. can you tell me a little more about your situation and what the response was from your company. >> at this time i have not been terminated. i was granted medical examination in the vaccine but the company insists that the always safe thing for me to do is go on unpaid leave until the pandemic is over which is effectively being terminated. >> how do you feel about that? how difficult will it be? how does that change y

. >> thank you, representative huffman, next we will go to daniel crenshaw of texas. you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you madam chairman. important hearing about resiliency, i am going to focus on flooding. we are used to the heat and we are used to floods. in houston. we have to get our faxed straight. and see the problem so we can arrive at the solutions. often, it rains and often we hear, that's what climate change looks like. what we do have to get straight is the rhetoric surrounding climate change. we are in a humid subtropical climate, on the gulf of mexico. we are historically prone to flooding. last month everyone was talking about, it was may, there will be 11 inches of rain overall and it was considered exceptional. it is actually the median. if you go back to 1888, it is not far from that, you can find 11 inches of rain for the month. it does happen. it is not going to change anytime soon. and we have heard that we have had 500-year floods more than at any period in history. but this changes based on urban development. so if you are trying to

i was just with dan crenshaw yesterday.e said the last time he was in afghanistan he was blind but he could still here. it is just with the emotion of these guys. i have watched the turmoil for them. they will tell you this. friend was so that we just ended the war, we did not. you just lost a strategic position to al qaeda. these people still hate us. they hate our way of life. now that we have departed, we are in weaker position. militarily, they are stronger because we just give them weaponry and the administration won't even take accountability. when i talk to every single veteran, i know what you're probably going through right now and what you're watching. we need to reach out to them. we need to let them know that they did a job well done. they were successful. we were not attacked for 20 years because of what they, west. when we go back and get the accounting of this, it seems to me that the faith department took over. miller -- the military takes orders. they did not decide how many people were needed in afghanista

you discussed with congressman crenshaw the border.cussion of this huge tax and spend bill and this is a new pr move. the new way that the administration is going to try to sell it to say the cost is zero. it is not 3 1/2 trillion dollars it's zero because it's paid for. well, it's paid for by raising taxes on individuals. it is paid for by raising taxes on companies. that's not zero. that's 3 1/2 trillion dollars. he makes it sound as if if you borrow it there is a cost but if you tax the private sector is taxed more than the public sector there is no cost at all. i was curious about the fact he discussed the meetings he had with moderate leaders and progressive leaders in congress at the white house a couple of days ago. and he said to them forget the price tag. let's just talk about what is it you want? and maybe you want more childcare, maybe you want free pre-school andfree community college. this isn't the oprah show. it is like saying to a family what do you want? i would like a new car. you get a car. this isn't the oprah show.

dan crenshaw said it is akin to an arsonist setting a fire then congratulating himself or putting thethere are people still burning inside the house and make no mistake with the taliban in control and partnering with china and russia and having the middle eastern part of the world in this dangerous sort of power triangle there is a huge impact that goes to iraq, iran, syria, israel, india, this is a disaster, knowledge is the way he withdrawn but not having any small presence, the way the government could go on and on but act as if we trained our people to fight the taliban there are systemic problems. anyone in afghanistan or iraq could tell you that area they are not ready to have hope and be empowered and step in. this is systemic in their culture, doesn't work this way, extraordinarily difficult and one seal said he felt like throwing the computer across the room and he always maintains control. todd: surface members and their families hear their commander-in-chief talk like this when it comes to their presence in the world, power in the world, what goes through their minds? >> mo

dan crenshaw, said sometimes you want to get mad at her. in this case you laugh out loud.they're not wearing masks either, right? >> of course not. you have got to remember the democrats they don't get covid. it is 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. so that is why gavin newsom can go to the french laundry and hang out maskless with his lobbiest buddies, eat appetizers that cost more than the grocery bill for the average american family but they want the rest of us to get vaccinated, wear a mask, not go anywhere, more than two or three people at a time. elizabeth: okay. >> stay 20 feet apart. ridiculous. elizabeth: governor, great to see you. thanks for joining us. up next former va secretary robert wilkie. served assistant secretary of defense under president george w. bush. the gop is now demanding even more hearings. did the biden administration manipulate intelligence on afghanistan? the story next. think again. ♪ (energetic music) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ introducing the

i served with congressman dan crenshaw lost an eye come with brian bass the lost both of his legs, both of them in afghanistan. within the same time i served with side -- the highest ranking listed member in my unit who was killed while i was there. those of the sacrifices we question from whether or not they're worth in a telephone absolutely worth it because for 20 20 years we avoid another 9/11 on american soil. that made it worth it. don't for a moment believe that your service and sacrifice were not worth it because of the incompetence in a moment by this administration. let me also make it very clear. i was deeply involved in the afghanistan debate over the last four years under president trump. didn't always agree with what president trump was trying to do right in the end because i can tell you from private conversations i had with president trump and the trump administration, president trump had always left the door open light footprint special operation forces in afghanistan to prevent what happened on joe biden's watch from happening. at the time we had about 2500 troops in a

dan crenshaw needs to sit down before he faints under the weight of his hypocrisy for where we are right now. of course vaccine mandates are legal and of course forcing women to give birth is not. and if you can't understand that, i suggest you read this document, which explains it to you. >> yeah. really quickly, desantis hasn't responded yet, but he's actually gone to court trying to force cruise ships to let unvaccinated people who might have covid on their ships. like he's lost a bunch of cases because he's trying to force schools and private businesses to allow potentially infected people onboard. elie, does it surprise you that he keeps losing when he tries to make that argument in court? he's doing the opposite. he's like my government power is going to be used to let covid in. >> here's the simplest way to understand this. the government can require people to be healthy. it cannot require people to get sick. it's as simple as that. when you are trying to force private businesses to get their customers sick, you can't do that. when you are trying to -- and remember, when we're tal

he also conducted a roundtable of afghanistan veterans, including crenshaw of texas. you can look for coverage of those events on our website. c-span.org. pekin, illinois. open forum, good morning. caller: people don't understand. the commanders told joe biden it was best to follow the plan. biden refused to follow trump's plan. he did everything backwards from what trump had planned. france, italy, and others follow trump's plan. they got their people out. they went out to the country, picked up their people, and took them to the airport. they got them out of afghanistan. then they got everyone else plan -- out. that was trump's plan. last friday, you did not read the headline news where britain once to sanction biden for his mishandling of getting the troops out. france, italy, once their name over there, not russia -- they all said that biden was incompetent. very incompetent. in his mishandling of this. host: a report this morning on the aftermath of afghanistan. the taliban has engaged in heavy fighting in the last plant -- province out of his control. the last f

what is the guy's name -- dan crenshaw, republican, says i'm honestly curious why californians wouldn't want some balance in their government. works well in deep blue states like massachusetts and maryland, both with republican governors. charlie baker and larry hogan are the governors of those states. but david, they're not insane. they're not saying more covid. covid in your schools. they're not -- they're not pushing covid. so the divided government argument in my mind won't work for republicans this time around. do you agree? >> by the way, joy, any republican who's been responsible in the pandemic is at great risk of losing a primary. that's where we are. >> that too. >> yeah. >> so i think that there's a third of the people out here in california who voted for the recall. there's a third of the people who say it should be a personal choice. yes, the republicans are making it harder to vote so that third has more power in general elections. but let's make no mistake, that third or 30%, that hard core maga base, they're going to drive republican politics and, therefore, a big part o

representative crenshaw, who is from texas, dan crenshaw, says that the problem is that they have undonepeople living at the border knows was actually working to make their lives better. take a listen. >> it seems like the only people he wants to hold accountable for the mess at the border is his own border agents for doing their job. he put them in this position. and then he lies about what they're too long. he lies about their actions. you can't imagine a worse leader right now. if you are trying to get a mass exodus from the border patrol. if you are trying to get them to quit and lose morale, then this is a great way to do it. do you know who else isn't held accountable? all the people illegally crossing our border, all unvaccinated. all the people with covid. all the people infiltrating our country and lying about their asylum claims. they are not held accountable. but biden doesn't care about that. look, we have to stop pretending like this is incompetence this isn't incompetence they are doing this on purpose. will: he is right. someone on social media said this is arsonist settin

the same people that are trying to suppress the right to vote, and kimberly crenshaw said this, peopleing to suppress the right to protest are the same people engaged in idea suppression. part of what you have to keep in mind here is when dr. whitfield spoke about the murder of george floyd, in the dallas metroplex we had three similar circumstances that resulted in murder charges for black people being killed, the two cases that have gone to trial resulted in murder convictions. what he saw was a need in his community to address an important issue. if you look at what he said it included messages like hope and support and being the best we can personally and professionally, and rounding it back out to the photo that's what you are supposed to be when you are working with young people. >> absolutely that's right. >> you are supposed to be someone who encourages them, not who plays to hate in the community. >> amen. principal james whitfield, i had a cool principal like you. you are great man. thank you for being here. >>> up next, when a high-ranking official starts spewing replacement

friend congressman mast who lost both of his legs in afghanistan, tho that served like congressman crenshaw who lost an eye in afghanistan. they were serving so we could have freedom. they were serving so we could have a constitution that says that we can go to church freely, we can speak freely and we can have this political event freely without worrying about oppression. but i want to tell you this. this comes with a cost. and it comes with a price that we saw this past week. but i want us to all remember that we become protectors also of our constitution. each one of us has a responsibility to protect our freedoms, whether it be speech or second amendment, due process, our judicial system. and we do that by making sure that we find conservatives to be elective. we do that to make sure we vote, that we engage. because our founding fathers gave us this wonderful, wonderful land. i want to talk about what i saw late or early last week. i came to washington, d.c. and liberal progressive green new deal pelosi had on the forefront that she was going to make us vote on a $3.5 trillion bill. yea

ainsley: dan crenshaw a congressman says just like saying when i buy a cup of coffee because i paid fordidn't cost anything. brian: larry kudlow was asked this question. looking younger every day. here he is it. >> there's not one stipulation, not one rule that you have to work. there is no work fair. there is no work requirements. and, in fact, sean, there is no education requirements. so you have got massive welfare dependency. that will damage the soul of america. that goes to the heart of american culture. you know, work is dignity. work holds families together. work provides opportunities for the least among us. and this damage that they are going to do and it's from the far left. it's from the crazy progressives. this crazy textbook. this is the thing that worries me the most. we're cutting into the heart of the american soul with all this welfare dependency. it is big government socialism of the worst kind. steve: so the republicans yesterday in the senate said we will vote for a clean resolution to fund the government and pay for hurricane relief. but the democrats said nope. we

. >> dana: matt bennett and crenshaw is here. i want to read this from bernie sanders.trillion reconciliation bill. that's the agreement that was made and the agreement must be kept. physical infrastructure is important but combating climate change and helping families is more important. joe manchin said spending trillions more on new and expanded government programs when we can't pay for the essential social programs like social security and medicare is fiscal insanity. the democrats find themselves in a little bit of a pickle. matt, how do you think it plays out today? >> well, it is probably going to end one of two ways. either speaker pelosi will hold off on scheduling the vote on the infrastructure bill in order to give more time to try to get all this sorted out, or she will hold the vote. unless some republicans show some spine there is a group of 29 problem solver republicans who should support a bipartisan infrastructure bill that mitch mcconnell voted for. unless that happens it is likely the bill will fail. it doesn't mean it's dead. the speaker could bring i

and for congressman dan crenshaw who's introducing the companion bill in the house of representatives. we are working to make sure that families across our country can travel freely and businesses can conduct interstate commerce without the ridiculous government bureaucracy created by a vac -- by vaccine passports. this bill would prohibit the department of transportation, the department of commerce, and other federal agencies from requiring proof of vaccination or the use of a vaccine passport to engage in interstate commerce or travel. it protects people like my dad who used to drive a truck and would carry goods across state lines. it protects the rights of american citizens as laid out in our constitution. president biden is trying to upend our way of life and impose his view on the health of every american and i'm here to say i won't stand for it. i'd like to yield to my friends, senator johnson and senator lee, as they'll talk about this same bill. the presiding officer: the senator from wisconsin. mr. johnson: i rise in support of senator scott's bill and want to make a few poi

here is what dan crenshaw had to say.

as we discussed the politico story revealed and more whistleblowers coming forward thanks to dan crenshawthers who set up secure lines. people inside the biden administration knew what a terrible operation this was. and they're appalled. i'm going to bring to you this quote now from politico an anonymous source within the administration says this. i am absolutely appalled and literally horrified we left americans there. it was a hostage rescue of thousands of americans and the guise of a noncombatant evacuation operation and we have failed the no-fail mission. another quote said this: it was a hostage video of thousands of americans. they also said i'm absolutely appalled at this. i will bring this to another story that josh rogin had that there was about 600 journalists who work for radio free america and radio free europe that were left behind. they said over and over again we have about 600 of us here. make sure there is room on the flight. you know we get murdered. you know the taliban hate us. our message of freedom and liberty was something despised by the islamic extremist from the
