. >> lessons on the house foreign affairs committee release afghanistanou report. bring it up ahead of november. also the committed hoping to hold hearings this month kind a wholee array of issues there. >> no lack of stories to read about for capitol reporter? you wrote yesterday about this afghanistan report. who put it out? what is new about the afghan report? looks foreign affairs chairman michael mccaul put up this report and i spoke to him at the tribunal festival earlier this week at the culmination of a three year investigation it is been republican lead but initially direct the pullout from afghanistan there is bipartisan concerns about how that was handled there in the white house has criticized support but republicans feel there is not enough coordination and planning pulling out troops there. that's responsible for the death of 13 service members. things could have been handled much differently what could've gone smoother. >> last week or the week before on this program one at the republican investigators on the house foreign affairs committee ended up

information president biden decided to end it, michael mccaul the chairman of the house foreign affairs committeerity committee, chairman, good morning, sir, you subpoenaed secretary antony blinken over refusal to appear before your committee on us afghanistan withdrawal tell us about that. >> well, they say yes, it september your report -- taken us two years, to get to this point, because of the obstruction, i had to issue subpoena after subpoena threatened to hold secretary blinken in contempt. slowed down the process. now you know the fact is that dems claiming the prior administration for doha agreement made -- to every agreement trump administration had including "remain in mexico", but the fact of the matter is the taliban were in violation of the doha agreement, therefore, president biden had no justification to go to this to go to zero, all military troops out contributors, going to zero, leaving our marines the end of the day were left completely unprotected, 13 servicemen and women died as a result of that, we will honor them tomorrow control gold medal. >> that was devastating will fam

this representative that was just on was in charge of the foreign affairs committee.022. the democrats were in charge of the house. no investigation, no interviews, no transcribed sit downs. they had one hearing, the worst of military debacle since saigon. i would say worse than saigon because terrorism is rebuilding and intends to attack us again. they did nothing about it. we couldn't even start until last year. then, you have to ask the administration if this was such an outstanding success then why do we have to repeatedly subpoena them for interviews and documents? it took us this long because we did not get started until last year. what was political was doing nothing to cover for the biden administration. on president trump, they walked away from everything from keystone xl to the iran deal, to border policies. they had no problem tearing up those trump policies but were stuck with this one? by the way, president trump left the troops, the base, and when his advisors told him the taliban had not lived up to their end of a conditional agreement, when the taliban

the foreign affairs committee has, at least on our side of the aisle, far more members who have served in the military then you would expect of a peace committee. and there is a reason. everyone of us who have served in the military understands that we would rather have the state department and the other programs do the work of preventing war. war is not something that these families wanted or that their love ones wanted, it was something that came from failures that go back decades. we cannot ignore those failures either, and so for the families, let's make sure that this committee, and the men and women of the committee, which includes a great many of us who have served in the united states military, do all we can do to keep this from happening again in another way, make sure that our enemies fear us, our friends can count on us, and that our foreign policy is one that is understood that will not tolerate the kinds of things that are going on around the world as we speak. that's what i want you all to remember as you listen to the families, our job isn't done. thank you. [applause] >

the house foreign affairs committee released its report on the investigation of the withdrawal, that ngressman. i want to get your reaction to this. >> yeah, look, they continue to try and say they've been compliant and they tried to work with us and transparency but we've actually had to not only subpoena but threaten to hold in contempt the secretary of state when he wouldn't provide the dissent cables which showed 23 diplomats warned the state department about the strategy and told them that americans would die if they went forward. it's the same thing as armed services committee where secretary of defense austin said they had no credible intel be but i have seen the intel reports day on on day on that said moving into the city of kabul all planning and prep has been prepare, explosive bombers should be prepared and bolo for the vehicle and this individual so there was credible intel and warning signs but they played politics over strategy and that resulted in the death of 13 gold star heroes. cheryl: the thing, to see it in black and white, we had see reports about this, the fact

house foreign affairs committee democrats opposed this markup. and we made clear when this bill was marked up in july, the president has the authority of acceding to an agreement through executive action. executive action does not require advice and consent of the senate. the vast majority of all u.s.-international legal agreements are approved by executive action rather than formal approval by the senate. the draft pandemic agreement on the negotiation is not a treaty. if it were, i would be standing in support of h.r. 1425. . . while framed as an effort to increase congressional oversight, this bill really is a part of republicans' polarization of covid responses. and anti-science-based policy. it puts the safety and -national security of americans in jeopardy. simply because they don't like the w.h.o. or any multilateral institutions for that matter. under their isolationists, they like to isolate themselves from everything and everyone. it is the maga platform. if the u.s. is not allowed to sit at the table or our negotiating leverage is weak

where it could have gone smoother. >> one of their republican investigators on the house foreign affairs committee ended up resigning from the committee as congressman mccall wasn't doing enough to hold the military leadership responsible, that he was focusing more on the political side of it. will that be addressed in this report, did this report have more focus on the military leadership when it came to pullout? >> i've talked to chairman mccall about it, he wanted to make sure that it was a fair and nonpartisan investigation, so the report would be taken seriously. that was a big concern for him. host: a 354 page report, is it available for anybody to read right now? guest: they made it public last night, and it touches on an array of issues. host: how does the reporter cover that when a page -- 354 page report gets drop and you got to cover that? guest: looking for the highlighted talking to members about it. host: can you give members on the phone on a sunday night or is that something that the committee wants their members to come out and talk about? guest: it was definitely a lot of texting

mike mccaul, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee. we'll be back in a moment. >>> joining us now the ranking member of the house intelligence committee, democrat jim himes of connecticut. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me, margaret. >> a lot i did want to get with you, but did want to offer you a chance to respond to congressman mccaul. you and most democrats supported president biden's decision to withdraw from afghanistan, but you would agree the exit was one of the darkest days of his presidency to date. what do you make of the republican argument this reflect on vice president harris' ability to serve as commander in chief? >> you're right when you say that was a dark day. any time we lose service members is a dark day and the 13 we lost at abbey gate, you remember as you pointed out in your interview with chairman mccaul, there were 2500 others killed in afghanistan over a 20-year period. what chairman mccaul is going to offer to the american people is, and you said it right, about vice president harris. it is a politi

and he was actually on the senate judiciary and the foreign affairs committee, not the finance committee. unfortunately, my, the other senator of the great man who i worked for senator bill ross was the chairman of the finance committee at the time. but that being said, the assessment uh uh, by the previous speaker is absolutely spot on joe biden. his eyes was elected to young. and now he's, he's serving too late in the life, so he's, you know, he has to do these things should be too young for what he was doing now is too old for what he's doing. but he's always basically spent his life beating his chest, tossing himself up, briefing himself up on issues about what she has no depth, no knowledge, you know, beyond what he has been briefed on and was able to be asked and sort of um, you know, sweet talk or panned or his way to, i guess, just being re elected. well i wouldn't even go further, tyler lying. and he's in the tory. yes. and not a liar. it's extraordinary. all considering in this campaign environment, the trump lies all the time about trump is uh, is very economical with the trut

still fighting over what went so horribly wrong in who is to blame on sunday that house foreign affairs committee chaired by texas republican mike mccaul issued a scathing new report. and this time it has vice president harris's name all over it. i notable addition to this yearslong effort by the committee that had focused previously more on president biden and other top white house state department officials. the 353 page report titled willful blindness as quote, the biden-harris administration prioritize the optics of the withdrawal over the security of u.s us personnel on the ground, unquote. and response the ranking democrat on the committee, congressman gregory meeks, who we're going to talk to an a second he published a memorandum saying that the attempts to pin blame solely on the biden-harris administration, quote, lack intellectually intellectual rigor and do not comport with the facts glean from witness testimony unquote. remember this report comes a year after the u.s. state department official after action review, which found both the trump and biden administration's decisions to pull

and recently the comprehensive report from the house foreign affairs committee more than two years of investigations show that biden was hell bent on leaving afghanistan and the militaries advice. now, they're in mind, kamala already bragged she was the last person in the room with biden and she's always echoed his phony claim that the operation was a success. we know it was a failure. we know the biden harris administration lied to and misled the american public and learn additional details. nearly every u.s. military official advised against the afghan exit. the secretary of defense, chairman of the joint chiefs, the office of the director of national intelligence, chat commander of u.s. central command and objections from our nato allies as well. but joe biden and kamala harris insisted on making one of the greatest blunders in american history and lied about it and the trump administration entered into a doha agreement with the afghan government that insist that had the taliban cut all ties with al-qaida, isis and other terrorist groups. but biden harris ignored these des and went

secretary blinken defied a congressional subpoena requiring him to appear today before the house foreign affairs committeetunate scheduling conflict, to say the least. but the foreign affairs committee is investigating that withdrawal from afghanistan and the much maligned and much criticized brawl from afghanistan. and has been, quite honestly, for many months now, for more than a year has been investigating that. and yesterday, anthony blinken sent a detailed letter rebutting all of the committee's arguments about the withdrawal from afghanistan for public consumption, to show that he is, he is -- he's willing to send other state department officials up here, but he is not willing to come up here today. >> so, i mean, so it's just a matter of rescheduling, renegotiating a rescheduling? >> i don't know that we get out of this congress without the house trying to hold tony blinken in contempt. i think they've done that before on other biden administration officials. it is one of the tools that congress has. it's used much more often to hold in contempt a member of the administration. i think that is somet
