jacob, you had a chance to talk with the leading candidate, larry elder, the right wing radio host. you tried. we played it last night. we had to chop it up. it took so long. five times to get him to say he would simply respect the results of the election. i don't think he ever actually answered your question. you also got a chance to ask the current governor about what larry elder did last night. what did he say to you? >> essentially, that republicans, joy, are not respecting democracy in any way, shape or form led by larry elder here in california, but part and parcel of the trump strategy we saw after the november election. by the way, i saw that personally. this reminded me, speaking with larry elder, of what i saw on the day after the 2020 presidential election when i was in las vegas and many literally ran away from us reporters as we asked them for any shred of evidence whatsoever to prove their claims about election fraud in nevada. they never answered that question. larry elder never answered my question. governor newsom had an easier time today answering that question whe

chance to win. otherwise, this is going to be a replay in the midterms. >> jacob, we talked about this yesterday. even before election day, larry elder's campaign was opening the door, alleging possible election fraud. that was before the polls opened. any more on that today, and given the numbers, do they even have a chance? it's not close. >> reporter: no, not even close. the integrity of the election here is unquestioned. i told you this the other day. i went inside the largest election jurisdiction, not only in california but the united states of america. steve talked about this last night. los angeles, i think 10 million registered voters in los angeles. they check every single signature automatically. larry elder did not do himself any favors by saying he would not accept or at least refusing to say he would accept the outcome of the election, and it turns out, stephanie, he did accept the outcome of the election last night at that event. he said that he had lost the battle, but he was going to win the war. sounds pretty much like a concession to me after all of that talk. >> thank you so m

jacobs of california for five minutes. >> well, thank you so much, mr. chair. and thank you, mr. secretary, for answering our questions and for staying so that some of us more junior members get a chance to ask you questions as well. i first wanted to say that while i have been publicly critical of many of the decisions made around the evacuation as a member of the working group that as you know i used to work at the state department, and i've talked to so many former colleagues and friends who were on the ground in kabul who were working tirelessly night and day, no sleep for weeks on end trying to get people out, and i think it's an incredible disservice to our diplomatic core and to brave people who work there every single day to say they're not deserving of praise. i disapprove of the decisions that were made but the people working around the clock deserve to be praised. >> thank you. >> i want to raise a letter i sent with the senator and many of my colleagues. i also want to make sure we are doing everything we can to deliver humanitarian assistance and, you know, urging the trashtry department to issue an ofact general license. so i look forward to working with you and the admi
