and the intel today is not the intel of 50 years ago, 40 years ago, even 10 years ago intel has a lot of structural challenges and yes the stock is cheap, likely cheap for a reason cheap all by itself is never a reason to buy a stock just like expensive all by itself is never a reason intel is cheap for a reason. market share losses, they came out a couple weeks ago and told everybody that they will remain behind on process technology at least for the next four years. but we could probably have a whole conversation just on the issues of intel. but i think the stock is cheap for a reason and it is not something that i would be looking to buy even at these valuations >> i love how you said that. we talk a lot about value stocks and sometimes stocks are valued where they are for a very good reason and it is not merely that they are overlooked they have been looked at and people are pricing them where they are >> one thing intel is not is overlooked >> yes >> everybody has to look at intel. intel is a bellwether of the space. they are the biggest company by revenue in the space used to be

intel has been lobbying the u.s.ernment to help revive chip manufacturing at home with incentives, subsidies, and/or tax breaks, the way the governments of taiwan, singapore, and israel have done. the white house is responding, proposing $50 billion for the semiconductor industry in the u.s. as part of president biden's infrastructure plan. >> president joe biden: this is infrastructure! >> stahl: your business is extremely lucrative. in terms of revenue, you made $78 billion last year. why should the government come into a company, a business, that's doing so well overall? >> gelsinger: this is a big, critical industry, and we want more of it on american soil-- the jobs that we want in america, the control of our long-term technology future. and, as we've also said, the disruptions in the supply chain. >> stahl: you have spent much more in stock buybacks than you have in research and development. a lot more. >> gelsinger: we will not be anywhere near as focused on buybacks going forward as we have in the past, and t

did they get the intel and think about it and go against it or did they dismiss the intel?ere? >> it is hard to say here, the intel committee provided a number of assessments in different scenarios, but the taliban did advance rapidly. but i really think it is not necessarily the intel, but just a lot of other failures out there, when being leadership itself, you know, we have a situation where collapsing leadership at various levels. you know, i think what is interesting is exactly as we are speaking right now, 245 years ago to this minute, the british were making watching one of their greatest attacks in one of the most disastrous battles, the battle of brooklyn. it was there that, you know, they went through unguarded past and american save the army, but it led to an incredible withdrawal. the first american dunker, kind of what we are seeing now. but i think what i'm getting at with it says washington had an axiom, an iron rule. never to be drove. we are being driven right now by the taliban. and we are not ceasing the initiatives. that is part of the problem. we need t

i would take it from armed services to foreign affairs to intel. i would change into committee back to the purpose of what their response ability was. they have -- their responsibility was. they had the responsibility to look within. impeachment has never gone through the intel committee into the democrats made a political. how much time had adam schiff spent looking around the world? when you're on the intel committee, you learn things that other members do not know. he spent all of his time on politics. i would look at that and what failure he created too. >> you said that you were discouraging members from going to afghanistan. you also said he understand the frustration of congressmen. that is part of the just vacation they are giving. that they are frustrated with the inability to conduct oversight from over here with a shaky intelligence. you concerned that your more opposable members saying that you understand this frustration and say it is subliminal encouragement? >> i just watch nancy pelosi answer that question. that is the most time she

the same way she changed the intel committee with adam schiff to be a political committee. we are three coequal branches. we should have been having hearings on what is going on over there. we should have been able to gather they would collapse this bad. adam schiff was too focused on impeachment then doing the job he was supposed to do. >> just to clarify something you cedro quick, -- you cedro quick, what could have been passed this week that could have made an immediate difference with afghanistan. you said the speaker should -- did not do anything to set aside money. >> speakers many times, as you know, your values says a lot about you. how much time did we spend on this while the world was watching? how much time did we spend on it where afghans were clinging to our planes and falling off? how much time do we spend on finding more americans that were actually there? what we could have done is take up gallagher's bill. tell us how many americans are there right now. make a statement of congress, we are coequal branches, that we will not leave until every american comes

and that is the beauty of using the intel agencies for cover. get to make any claim you want to make, and no one can prove you are lying, because the truth is highly classified! maybe you are starting to understand why no one ever defines of the cia. they are too useful. that was from july, the clip we just played, and at the time, biden told us the intel community "did not reach the conclusion that the afghan government would fall to the taliban." now it is august and the afghan government has indeed fall into the taliban. that is not our assessment as they say in washington, it actually happened, the afghan troops threw down the rifles, the president ran away, there is a black taliban flag hanging over the capital. so how did this all happen -- and more to the point, how did our extravagantly funded intelligence agencies not know it was going to happen? well, actually, they did know. sort of. that is joe biden's new position. he explained it yesterday on abc news. watch. >> back in july, you say taliban takeover was highly unlikely. was the in

intel, which we know, is in a war against amd and a bunch of other companies.uncing they are unveil a shift in the data center arc tengture, one they call the biggest in a generation let's find out more about this let's bring in an exclusive intel ceo pat gelsinger. you are making bold claims tinte is revolutionizing the product line what may it mean for consumers and the enterprise >> thank you a pleasure to be with you. we made five major announcements today. we are introducing a new consumer and pc architecture, al alder lake, which using big and little cores for peak performance and power efficiency also a major new data center architecture, sapphire rapids as i have one to show you here based or four tiles, 56 cores and using our advanced packaging, and never seen before a.i. performance on a cpu. we also introduced our graphics architecture where we are moving into the discrete graphics business we announced our brand, intel arc. we also released our high-end performance capabilities for high-performance computing, a beast of a machine that's able to deli

the russian intel people are still in there. the iranians will try to get in, i assume, and shore up the shiite hazares but our rule has gone except get out the nato and u.s. civilians and to the best ability we can, get the cia commando force, the interpreters and others out, but that will have to be with the tolerance of the taliban. >> helene, i want to read you something from one of the few americans who sort of stands in the middle of the deep divisions in this country, he tweeted this "president biden bodily botched the withdrawal and deserves the scorn he's getting. he's also the first president who seems determined to get america out of afghanistan during his presidency, politics be damned. for that, he deserves credit and thanks." before the searing images of this botched withdrawal and the taliban's rapid takeover of afghanistan, public support for leaving afghanistan, i'm sure you know this, was the high 70s. there hasn't been a majority of american public support for the war in afghanistan for decades, i wonder what

gelsinger, the new president of intel, he came in because intel has had problems, watched samsung andivals pass them by in the really high end chips, and yeah, they've got a >>>. >> today it's washington and a lobbying group and they're -- grauvling for money. the chinese are putting money in their chips and we'll lose ground in them a standard lobbying argument in washington the semiconductor company is not very good. the fact is preand open competition, premarkets, are the kind of markets that the chip industry thrives in. and government subsidies are bad for chip industry. i don't buy that i don't think weside the give money to some of the richest companies in the world >> free and open markets we have a industry that continues to consolidate i mean going back to intel voiced his interest in acquiring something as well with us yesterday. do you expect we continue to see more of this type of deal making and that, essentially, the biggest players get bigger >> yes that's been the trend. cars are 110 car companies in 1900 and now we have big two and one or two big companies off shore.

brian: so the intel agencies have had it.l surprised by this. were they really? "the new york times" writes today classified assessments by american spy agencies over the summer painted a grim picture of the prospect of a taliban takeover and warned that the rapid collapse of the afghan military, it was going to be the case, even as president biden and his advisers told us what they told us on july 6th. of later on in july more intel reports questioned when any afghan security forces could muster serious resistance and hold on to kabul. how could the united states say he's surprise -- the president of the united states say he's surprised, leave our people vulnerable, pull out all our military, not do the paperwork, not get the planes in place, not provide the security to get the routes open to allow our people to leave let alone the afghans that have been allied with us for 20 years? this is inexcusable. and for jake sullivan, ron klain, ned price for them not to offer to resign in the biggest humiliation in modern american h

intel assessment seems to be general milley at this point.ng to the point where they had high level of confidence. the intel committee did not have high level of confidence of anything. back in april, they said we could have 18 months to two years before you saw the afghan government fall as things speed it up this summer. people started to adjust that. it was all over the place. i talked to a senior official. i think it was ten days ago. he was saying that at ten days ago, he was saying there is a possibility that we could see a civil war by september. nothing was mentioned of a possible fall of kabul by august. >> president biden referring to the fact that people do understand the taliban was in charge before the u.s. was involved. the vacuum was always the issue and risk if they would come back mightily. this came up with the president's discussion with stephanopoulos. >> you don't think this could have been handled better in any way, no mistakes? >> no, i don't think it could have been handled in a way that -- we are going to go back in h

my source in the intel community says the state department ignored the atmospherics or intel sources on the ground explaining what the situation on the ground is. why would they ignore that vital information? >> the information is there, the intelligence community had lots of intelligence on the weakness of the afghan national army and afghan leadership and the strength of the telegram. that was all available but sometimes the policy decisions were encountered to the intelligence provided to the president because this president had made a stated goal of his policy during his campaign to remove all our troops from afghanistan is one of the point i'm sure will come out during hearings, standard practice for the president to ask the intelligence community to help wargame the policy options he might choose from in this case the decision to withdraw all our troops in turn begs iran air force base to the afghan government which surrendered shortly thereafter, the question would have been asked how does that play out for our short-term mission to evacuate all american citizens as well as th

does it now, why did we have to wait for intel? >> these -- you know, the big tech and government contracts i'm thinking jedi there's a new dispute now over -- i guess challenge over at amazon i mean, these are turning into very routine sort of discussions about who gets what from dod or doe. >> it's a very fluid situation i think if anyone thought that intel couldn't make the seven nanometer, if anyone thought that intel couldn't make this, are you kidding me it's intel now, pat gelsinger inherited this team. pat can't just turn it on like a dime, but i think the government's starting to realize that nvidia is the secret to a lot of the different things they need, just the way that mercedes benz realized nvidia's well ahead on autonomous driving, including waymo. this big sticking point is driving black ice, and if they can crack black ice, you're going to be riding a benz. david, we never expected, if you were to -- mr. benz, mercedes, mr. -- if you were porsche, you would never have had a unit at the wheel. units are way too stu

let me go to the intel news side of this first with dan hoffman.nding is the cia left 6-8 weeks ago. they pulled all their people out. they didn't do that without telling the biden administration. now we are getting evidence, more every day, as biden today was contradicted by both his state department and by his own defense department, and the intelligence communities been very clear, we told them. how can this happen? >> well, i think for sure the president had his own policy he wanted to pursue, and he might have listened to the cia analytical assessment, but it wasn't going to influence his decision. you know, today was really important because dod press spokesperson admiral kirby said that yes, there is al qaeda in afghanistan. and he was contradicting the president when he said that. but he also said he didn't know how many. and he didn't know where they were. and the reason why is because we took away our intelligence footprint, we closed bagram air force base, we closed the embassy. we don't have the capability to detect the threats that are

let's start the show on the intel headlines. intel kicks off u.s. corporate bonds.he kind of thing where when rates start to go up, cfos panic and say let's issue now? lisa: i think there's a lot more going on. this is incredibly low in terms of benchmark rate and the extra yield investors demand to own corporate credit is near all-time lows. this is a phenomenal time to issue debt will stop why wouldn't you? a lot of these companies, especially if their investment grade, they have to explain why are they are not borrowing. that is the reason you are seeing record issuances. tom: into the real yield, you can see that friday afternoon. jonathan: real yields it negatives still. a bit of a correction on friday. we talked recently about the asymmetric risk around negative real yields. they got deeply negative last week. i wonder what that picture looks like as we start to remove additional q. week. the fed -- additional qe. the fed has been clear. i like to see it as the doves and the super dobbs. tom: i go back to what neil dutta said. it is like the three stooges. inc

and i think the intell was there, telling us that. and the biden administration should have heeded that more and should have been more prepared for what happened as a result. >> is this the case of the pentagon, department of defense, not just under this administration but going back the last 20 years, to borrow a phrase, grading their own homework? the pentagon goes in, saying we're going to train the military. they turn around and say yep, there we go. we've got a military, we've got 300,000 people? >> yeah. this may seem like a tangent. but this is why civilian control of the military is so important. i don't blame the military for the way they approach this. what i'll say about the military is you ask them a question that starts with, can you, the answer is always going to be yes. >> sure. >> that's the way they're trained. you want me to take that hill, i'm going to take it. whatever you ask me to do, i'm going to find a way to get done. fine. that's where the civilians have to step in and say appreciate that, respect your capabi

foreign affairs, passed in intel. what adam schiff has done for the last 3.5 years has failed as chairman, failed as a nation for what he had been -- should have been looking at. devon nunez is looking into this and we should have answers. this is a report that came out in the president couldn't answer the question with certitude that it no given time should we provide to our enemy, to a terrorist organization. these are american names that we want to come into the airport. why when we have other allies going out and picking up their citizens, why wouldn't we have created a situation of safe passage? why with the president of the united states go on television and tell all americans that it's safe to go to the airport. he knew that he gave the names and we found out 30 misleaders that it was -- the people were being beaten. how did they know to be these people? these are questions of accountability that needs to get answered step as we work for the next five days to get everybody out and i hope we can extend that dead

joining us now with his take on intel's future, matt bryson. matt, good morning to you.t that you take issue with the whole strategy that he wants to push into manufacturing >> no, intel has always been in manufacturing. that's been one of the advantages rather for me the struggle is simply the timeline. look, they're doing the right thing. they fell behind they're coming back, investing that's the way you catch up. the problem from my standpoint is they're targeting 2024, 2025 so there is a whole lot that needs to go between now and then >> it takes time to build a foundry business how much quicker could he go about this does it take an acquisition like a global foundries or the field is too tough with some of the dominant players like taiwan semi here? >> so, not even on the foundry side just in terms of catching up, you are absolutely right it takes time. i just think that the market is looking through the amount of time, the amount of money that it is going to take in assuming that they'll be successful in terms of getting their manufacturing back up to where samsung

intel we've been reporting on.state department and even the white house have spoken publicly about it. they were working under the assumption it would be isis k cells who were wanting to not only embarrass to new taliban government but also attack americans. it is not clear the address for isis k or where you would find them. they are all mixed in amongst the afghans. if this were a taliban attack and if this were a taliban attack that the taliban took responsibility for then you would have an address, the presidential palace where baradar is sitting and the hikani brother in charge of security in kabul. most likely it is not a so-called taliban attack because if it were or if it were linked to the taliban you can guarantee the u.s. military would be striking back. the problem is attributing who is responsible for a suicide bomb. we don't know if it was a woman wearing the vest or a man. that was the danger that u.s. troops and marines were facing as they checked paperwork going through. you could have a million st

your old intel community, john? >> well, i am not surprised that the biden administration is continuing to approach this in a way that china is not the bad guy. look, i have seen all of the intelligence up until eight months ago when i left the office as the director of national intelligence, and all of the intelligence, laura, what i can tell you is that is all on one side of the ledger. it all points to the origins of the wuhan virus being from the wuhan institute of virology, and there is no intelligence that points to this being naturally occurring, no intermediary host, you know, all of our signals intelligence, all of our human intelligence, none of it points that this was some naturally occurring, you know, virus, so, unfortunately, many of us in the intelligence community that were there at the time really felt like the wuhan institute of virology was more than just a probability, it was always close to a certainty, and i still feel that way having seen all the intelligence, and i would hope that the biden a

foreign affairs, and intel. what adam schiff has done for the last 3.5 years has failed as a chairman. he has failed the nation of what he should've been looking at. devin nunes is looking into this and these are questions we should have answered. this is a report that came out. let's find exactly. the president could not answer the question with certitude. at no given time should we provide to our enemy to a terrorist organization. these are american names we want to come into the airport. why would we are having other nations going out and picking up their citizens, why wouldn't we create a situation of safe passage? why would the president on united states go on television and tell the american parents safety go to the airport? if he knew that he gave the names and then we found out 30 minutes later, it was not say. people were being beaten. who did they know to be? how did they know to be? these are questions and accountability that needs to get answered. as we work for the next five years -- days to get eve

do we know how intel might be flowing on this? >> you struck on something important. earlier today jennifer griffin asked john kirby asked how many isis fighters were sprung from prisons around afghanistan when the taliban took over. john kirby said thousands. isis and the taliban have fought against one another. for years joint special operations command were launches raids in eastern afghanistan in nangarhar where isis branch in afghanistan is based. so in recent years, because of the isis fighting the taliban, they were also a defactor alliance. the u.s. was launching drone strikes. but you cannot rule out the suicide attack that killed 13, you cannot rule out taliban involvement. this isis bombers did manage to slip through taliban network. some are run by the haqqani network. there's a history of animosity. >> you and jennifer griffin have been doing yeomans work do we have any sense of isis-k fighters there are? when you take about make them pay what is the scope of that? >> there's hundreds of isis-k fighters. in 2016, there were 3 to 4,000. after president tru

and then on the semiconductor side, we like intel. it's trading at 11.8 times earnings versus its historic multiple of 15 times. they've got the lion's share of the server-processer business which is going to drive growth in the short term, and you're paid a 2.5% dividend yield. now, my third one is interesting in contrast to scott. he's talking about amazon. i like amazon, but we saw last week that the online sales are coming down a little bit. people want to get out and about, and believe it or not, one of the beneficiaries is going to be dollar tree, trading at just 14.5 times earnings. their average ticket went up 9.5% last quarter. same-store sales comps were the best since 2017, so we think that's an opportunity moving forward as well. liz: yeah. scott, you know, 30,000 feet when you look at where the market has been this year and where it is going, x these specific names you and tom have both choice r -- chosen, there was a good article on investors.com, advance isers have been barely outpacing decliners. new highs are shrinkin

intel assets on the ground.t have airfields anymore to fly the drones and other aircraft from a close distance. you have to do all of that from over the horizon. bill burns testified recently saying we have less capability. we can't get the same intel without being up close and personal as it were. so as the president has made this vow and the military working on carrying it out, this will be a test as to how well they can accomplish that. listen, it's been done before. you remember after the u.s. embassy attacks in an za nia and kenya in 1998, they fired the missiles from over the horizon but the targets were gone by the time they got there. you certainly have less capability not being in the country. do you have enough to get targets? we'll see. >> what do you make of the capabilities once the last troops are out? >> well, i think the u.s. capabilities that we would have are certainly less. director burns is right. as jim mentioned, there are going to be difficulties in getting the intelligence that we need in

it has a good strategy and intel has a good strategy. today, we believe the company is best positioned to deliver to re-innovate. we will hear more about it tomorrow. i don't think that if we are optimistic about the future of nvidia, i wouldn't have a strong view on that business. taylor: thank you as always for the insight and for being so patient with us. we want to turn and look at another aspect of the chip crunch. how it is impacting the pc market. let's do this all with gartner research director. there was a lot of hints that consumers had piled up on the pc market. are you seeing that slow and is that concerning? >> yes, it is absolutely slowing down now. it is not going away. people can go out now and do something different other than laptops and computers. it is still demand, but not as strong as the last couple of quarters for sure. >> the demand is something to keep an island with the delta variant. what are some supply chain issues you have seen? we have talked about this monolithic issue. how much has that end -- impacted t

but the intel report is raising more questions than answers. jonathan has details. >> many questions indeed. the report into the origins of covid is inconclusivive. what you have is 4 intelligence agencies believing with low confidence in the initial theory that the coronavirus was transmitted from animal to human in the community, perhaps a wet mark in wuhan, china. a fifth agency believes that the first infection was linked to a laboratory accident. they don't believe it was developed as a bio-weapon and most believe with low confidence that coronavirus was not genetically engineer. a chinese foreign ministry official dismissed the lab leak theory. >> it's only fair that the u.s., [inaudible]. this will invite an investigation into their labs. >> the chinese said the pandemic originated in a u.s. government laboratory in maryland. even world health organization officials question these commence. >> it's a contradiction. if you are saying that the lab theory is a nonstarter from the chinese perspective. now we need to look at labs in other cou

they never went back to intel, i got a job and i met a girl who is fine and met with me.o one ever says that. no one says the normal sentence. the mechanics of some of the forms don't work too. if you go to big awakening which is the qanon form, hey, t in the real. >> i got out. my life is great now. they will bend. >> there's no way to go back and, like it's very difficult and you would have to go to a support form called qanon casualties where you give advice on how to talk to people independently. that's a whole different thing. let's go to q&a. >> all right. >> you know what, let's see, let's start from the top here. marcy, do you think the anti-semitism of early qanon is part of the organization or did it move away as part of its evolution? >> i think anti-semitism is always going to be part of pretty much every conspiracy theory. you know, these theories can be very different in a lot of ways but, i mean, look at the stuff that marjorie taylor greene is saying today. the jews did it. it's always, well, this is as bad as the holocaust. anti-semitism and conspiracy th

providing any intel to the taliban about an isis threat?commanders on the ground continue to communicate to ensure that the safety of not only around the gates but the other checkpoints so that we can continue to process vulnerable afghans, you know, other coalition folks and american citizens in. >> when this evacuation began, there were already close to a thousand u.s. troops at that airport. so just to be clear, when we're talking about pulling u.s. troops out, we're talking about pulling all the troops. where you go to zero at the embassy, is that correct? >> that's correct. no, i followed the question. that's correct. >> so you have to take out more than you put in. >> yes. yes, i'm -- >> how does that happen without the active cooperation of the taliban to keep the crowds away as u.s. troops thin out their perimeter and then pull back. how does that -- >> i'll let the general take that in just a second. i think he's much more informed than i am, but i should make the larger issue that any retrograde out of -- or drawdown, if you will,

based on what you are hearing in real time in the intel community do you have any confidence what did price just described will happen? >> let me step back and say this is a classic slate of hand in my opinion. the bottom line is we have no leverage. we can't tell the taliban to do anything. the taliban controls couple. they control the country. they -- the only variable we have anything like leverage on, they like to be considered a credible country and would like to have international legitimacy which china and russia have given them. we have no leverage. the notion of your giving conditions to the television while we scamper out with fear in the lead, it is intuitively most americans will realize that is not credible. the sad part is we had credibility in this country. we had multiple administrations that could have gotten us to a peace accord. we did not run the afghan government in fast enough, this business, this is the tail that wags the dog. this is a failure that swallows everything. normally a media failure, national security crisis for the region, for american citizen on th

the intel community has been talking about this for years and years. hospitality of this whole thing falling into chaos in fairly rapid fashion. at the end of the day, this was a logistical operation, that's what this was. whether you left afghanistan in 2003 or 2010 or this year, the process is still the same. first, you always plan for worst case scenario, that's what you do. worst case scenario would be the government and military collapse in a matter of days so you make that your first plan and then you do all that you need to do, get the recess and departures plan and schedule and done for u.s. citizens, allies among the afghan citizens, whether this was 2003 or today my thought process is the same. you don't close back because all the enough, because a handy sense of to operate this withdrawal. and eventually the last thing you do is a screen door closes, as the last door but this whole thing has been backwards and at the end of its most startling, a couple of things. the fact that president biden you expect response body, i guess i shouldn't be

ignore the warnings from our intel on the ground and now afghanistan has fallen to the islamic extremists, the taliban in record time. they just said last week it would be 90 days at the earliest and it was overrun in a matter of hours. taliban fighters are now in control of a massive stockpile of joe biden u.s. taxpayer paid for weapons and ammo, vehicles, other supplies abandoned during biden's hasty retreat. it wasn't even smart enough to take munitions out. terrorists from al qaeda and isis were freed from multiple prisons all across this country, they soon will be plotting and planning their future terrorist attacks on all of the u.s. and the rest of the world fomenting terror. the american flag lowered over our embassy beyond humiliating as diplomats hastily were evacuated by helicopter to the airport. the very thing biden said it wouldn't happen. viewer warning, we were about to see is incredibly graphic but take a look at this horrific video earlier today, thousands of desperate afghan citizens leaning certain death at the hands of the taliban now rushing to the tarmac of the airp

. >> sean: the senate intel told them everything, last word, lara trump. >> i just think it's a sad dayrica and an embarrassing day for america. robert gates, the obama-biden defense secretary, told us a long time ago joe biden has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy decision he had ever made. we warned people this would happen and i take no pleasure in saying this, we told you so. what a sad day for really the entire world. >> thank, you both. lara logan and laura trump. thank you. coming up, republicans want answers after this disastrous withdrawal plus an important big programming announcement coming up straight ahead. it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute? but what have you been doing for the last two hours? ...delegating? oh, good one. move your xfinity services without breaking a sweat. xfinity makes moving easy. go online to transfer your services in about a minute. get started today. every single day, we're all getting a little bit bette

pam's mom on "the office," sometimes you need a fill-in and that's what the government is saying to inteling to buy a super computer containing nvidia as a place holder as they wait on one from intel and the intel machine touted as the fastest computer when it was announced in 2019 is going to eventually find a home in chicago. it isn't supposed to be a replacement, but an understudy see, i don't know how you find the time with all of the reporting that you do and the humans that you take care of to play switch, but you can - >> yeah. did i just accidentally reveal i still play the switch, it's true but i have kids to play it so there you go. and producers too. i will say, on this very show, that still play the switch. >> i'm glad you're steeped in the beat overall, we're continuing to watch this market, hard to keep it down as you know. we got to 4499.33. just a stone's throw from 4500 and sales force. >> the stocks are marching to new all-time highs and without the help of two cap names, what is it signaling about the market and what's the next move for your money we'll debate it with t

intel assessments warn that afghanistan's capital city kabul could be isolated by the militant group. barbara, that map was bad at the beginning of the week, but as we look at it encroach there on kabul, what more are you learning from this intel assessment, and what's the pentagon saying? >> reporter: well, good morning, erica. look, every day it seems to be getting worse in terms of the security situation and the map tells the story as the taliban continues to seize districts and district capitals, mostly in the outlying areas of the country. but basically the effect of that is to encircle kabul, the taliban strategy appears to be to take roads, highways, border crossings, and that could begin to isolate over the coming days, weeks, months the capital city. one estimate is that kabul could be isolated and under pressure from the taliban in 30 to 60 days. another estimate says 90 days. but nobody is really making an estimate that things are going to get better. so the concern is as the taliban begins to squeeze kabul, a sense of inevitability possibly about the possibility of the ci

intel dead money and a few others.tick with the great relative strength, the ones acting better than the semiconductor group as a whole. and you should be okay. i think the semis putting a low in the last few days. if that is the case, that will only help the case for the nasdaq 100 going forward, keeping fingers crossed as always. charles: by the way intel is one of many reasons i don't like using the dow jones industrial average as a proxy for the overall market. kim, you like xilinx and micron. are those still your favorites as well? >> they are for kind of different reasons. micron i think they're great in manned technology, what that is solid state chips where we store all of the data we're creating on. it is being used more and more in data centers not just in phones, right? you have to understand the driver for that company isn't how many little widgets that consumers are buying. it is actually more on the side of enterprise storing all the data that it creates. we just like xilinx because it makes sort of exoti

biden claimed the intel community did not say back in june or july that afghanistan would collapse like however, reports suggest that the intelligence community by july was, in fact, issuing reports warning about the potential domino effect throughout the u.s. should they withdraw their troops. and also problematic a confidential state cable was sent to secretary of state antony blinken last month. it warned about the potential collapse of afghanistan following the withdrawal of u.s. forces august 31st. while white house officials noted that cable pointed to "post august 31st, not early august" critics suggest that the warning was simply ignored. worse early december the biden administration moved to amend to make dismantle citizens trapped overseas taking aim at that contingency and crisis response bureau. ccr, which was created during the trump administration and designed to protect american citizens trapped abroad. >> wow, fox news has obtained june 11th memo sent around the state department which did give the green light to the discontinuation of the establishment and the determinat

anything that said the government and military could collapse in 11 days but i'm sure there's on an inteleport specifically said 11 days. this was not intelligent and intelligence failure it was a failure of president biden's closest advisers and individuals, antony blinken, jake sullivan and others who believe the smartest people in the world, this was a failure on their part to properly assess, listen and take action on some pragmatic intel assessments. the intel community has been talking about for years and years the possibility of this whole thing falling into chaos. at the end of the day this was a logistical of the lab left afghanistan 2003 or 10,000 ten or this year, the process is still the same. first you always plan for the worst case scenario. that is what you do. the worst-case scenario would be the government and military collapse in a matter of days. you make that your first planning move. and then you do all the things you need to do. you can love, your profile you get the visas and the departures planned and scheduled and done for u.s. citizens, allies, the afghan citizen

, which i believe we are going to have to do one way or another, because one thing the intel is cleanhis al qaeda is coming back and intends to hit the united states again, and al qaeda and the taliban are married at the hip. but if you decide to withdraw, there are a lot better ways to do it. you don't yank everything out at once. in one fell swoop, we took the afghan army's logistics support, maintenance support, intelligence support, and their air support, in the middle of the fighting season, and announced to the world a date that we were going to do it by. you know, there are ways to do it gradually, to do it where it is not such of a shock to the afghan army -- >> laura: but not with these guys. but congressman -- yeah, sorry to interrupt, interject here, but congressman mast, here's my problem with all of this. is that we have people in charge, our troops are relying on competence to lead them. we have people in charge who come again, i wouldn't trust, you know, to do security at an elementary school. and we are going to have them plan a mission where they are going to go door-

a lot of updates, at that point letters and very early internet stuff, all of that is the great intel that's aboutto happen . the white hats are about to do it, the blackouts are keeping us from doing it . sort of cosmic stuff. one of the people who got ripped off by this scam called omega was this woman who lived in washington. yelm is a new age hotbed. it's a new age community. she lost undetermined amount of money in omega. he used it with this law called mesara. it was this economic proposal written by this guy who's a professor in louisiana named harvey bernard and he wrote about in this book called draining the swamp. it's like everything just comes back. so bernard publishes this track called mesara and it illuminates consumer debt, go back to the old standard. very libertarian economicstop . use senses everyone in congress, all the major you nobody does anything. at some point nobody quite knows how, goodwin finds mesara, rewrite it in her own image as this secret law that was passed will only trillions of dollars in prosperity packets on the world . uses that would only with
