very prominent republicans including liz cheney, former, the daughter of former vice president dick cheney who obviously played a major role in 9/11, adam kinsinger, air national guardsman, criticizing the president i the, president, saying it is pretty tone-deaf to try to bring the taliban to camp david, to the american soldier right before the anniversary of 9/11. however, sort of stepping back, if the president is able to somehow bring troops home, bring some of these 14,000 troops home, or the bulk of them home, before the 2020 election, i think, you know, that could resonate with the american public, who is, as we know, very tired and sick of this nearly two decade long war. >> all right. scott wong live in dc for us. thanks. we will talk to you in just a bit. >> thank you. >>> still ahead the very latest in the investigation of military spending at one of president's international resorts has sparked an investigation by house democrats as well as the air force. >> and later, senator and 2020 candidate kamala harris apologizes after facing criticism for her response to a voter's remar
