joining us, former homeland security security jay johnson, who also served as general counsel at the pentagon. thank you very much for being with us. the u.s. got into afghanistan 20 years ago to fight terrorism, and they say, and president trump said we're getting out because that threat has been eliminated. but has it really been eliminated? because it's been diminished, al qaeda has been diminished, but it's still there, and now we have this threat from isis and other terror groups. what is your take? >> let's start with this, afghanistan -- and i've been there several times -- is most notable because it's remote, mountainous and ungoverned space. you could probably hide an entire large american city in the mountains of afghanistan undetected. it is the very type of place that terrorist groups seek to establish as a headquarters, as a base for training and gathering, whether it's afghanistan, the horn of africa, yemen, syria, parts of iraq. so there is that real risk, particularly now that the taliban has taken over again in the government there. on the other hand, terrorist organ

jay johnson, the government building, people are angry still over the government's failure to specify what triggered up last and who was responsible for it was one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history. this one, you may find mis footage, disturbing the ash with rice group, amnesty international condemned lebanese officials for quote, shamelessly, obstructing an investigation into the bluff evidence oldest hospital. devastated by the explosion. one nurse died. a baby was born during the very minutes of the blast . now one year on the child's report to be doing well, he spoke to a nurse working on the maternity ward on that day. she told us panic wasn't an option. there was simply too much to do. i was studying my mom about my day and i do remember my cleaning alone feeling very bad that i did not know if i was okay to be able to be a great kid and didn't have an idea what has what has happened. so i, when i try to move my hands and i was able to, to cite actually i thought of to be you want to be where, where are they? they are okay. i happened to babies the company in the

senator lindsey graham are asking president biden to appoint former homeland security secretary jay johnsonial executive position to manage the border crisis according to john solomon, your thoughts on what kamala harris is doing in the face of all of this? stephen: yes, for one thing i think it's pretty clear that the vice president's political ambitions are effectively destroyed as a result of her administration of the border. but it's important for people to keep in mind that she's not the one making the policy decisions. the policy decisions are being made by the faceless radicals throughout the biden administration who are running the show. their white house staff, dhs staff, most of whom will never be known to the american public, who are making these truly, truly deadly decisions that are resulting in drugs, disease crime as well as just large-scale illegal immigration that drains our finances and destroys american life and wealth. i totally agree the vice president should be replaced but ultimately she's only being used as the fall person behind a scheme that staff has put together.

we discussed before that a lot of people said put jay johnson in a role like that.at going to happen? is that a possibility? at this point i don't know who would replace mayorkas and would anything change. i don't know. but a lot of this is still to be determined. todd: while you hear those complaints, those concerns from texans, there are questions, concerns, anger coming out of all 50 states, not the least of which is why can these individuals illegally cross the border but my kid has to wear a mask in school, i could be potentially under restrictions going forward. i can no longer enjoy -- potentially not being able enjoy the freedoms i enjoyed earlier this summer, going into the fall, while these individuals can do this. it's being encouraged, not stopped by the administration. with that, the texas supreme court ruling the run-away democrats can be arrested if they don't show up for a session on the gop backed voting bill, the ruling overturns a restraining order that prevented governor abbott from arresting them. 50 democrats left for d.c. last month. some have

lindsey graham sent a letter late last week in the white house suggesting former dhs secretary jay johnsonthis position. here they are on friday making the case. >> i've been very respectful and supportive of the administration but something has to change when it comes to border immigration issues. >> we are urging president biden to create a special position to bring order to chaos, put somebody in charge whose focus is just on the border and all the problems associated with it that would have credibility in the eyes of congress and that's jeh johnson. >> sandra: johnson responded saying there is zero chance he will take that position on. listen. >> mayorkas unstands the problem and addressing the issue. we can enhance enforcement on the southern border to deter illegal crossings but it will have only a short-term effect on the numbers so long as the underlying conditions in central america persist. >> sandra: of course the person president biden tapped to work on those underlying conditions is vice president kamala harris. we don't see her much. where is she? >> she is not at the border

elizabeth: the former secretary under president obama jay johnson said the internet and social media studies, new york times, washington post saying people are getting misinformation about vaccines mostly from the internet andro social media, that's where the majority of misinformation is coming from, what is your take on that in light of what you're saying you don't want the white house acting as sensors. >> certainly do they think it's going to a go away if they suppress this information on the internet, if the information is on the internet and visible for everyone to seeun that we can counter that information, we know it's been said i will have people, all doctors have been in the position patients will bring and dreams of information orr studies offer the internet for them to discuss with the doctor if we i don't know what's being said we don't know how to counter the information, i think it's important it's there and on the open and were aware of it we can discuss with individuals and hpatients. elizabeth: mariannette miller meeks, thinking for joining us it's great to have you

we'll speak to former homeland security chief, jay johnson, about the risk. >>> and now a c career exexperlson, i is showing respect to aretha franklin in the movie of her life. >>> but first here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >>> and the taliban is tightening its grip on the country and many american citizens remain stranded. >>> the port is open today but only for military flights. he'll stay to help american citizens. >>> and the president explained his decision to leave afghanistan. he says as the fourth president to over sea military operations there, the country should have withdrawn far sooner. sglits going to strengthen the jhadist terrorists. >>> and hospitals are being overwhelmed and that's the hospitals that are still standing. >> the white house is expected to recommend covid booster shots for nearly all americans who got one of the two-dose vaccines. >>> fake vaccine cards are out there. federal agencies, thousands of fake covid vaccination cards destined for locations across the u.s. they noticed they had unfinished words and incorrect spanish translations. so, do not trust a
