john radcliffe. former congressman.portant to have you on this program this evening. john. >> good to be back. mark: everyone knows what happened in afghanistan, but the biden administration. what happened is that biggest disaster since world war ii. according to retired colonel richard kemp, this will reverberate for decades and sickening irony it occurred about time of anniversary of 9/11, 2001. what has joe biden done to america's national security. >> to your point first on afghanistan. i hope that it is just something that has an impact for decades not centuries, this is the most profound loss for the united states certainly in our lifetime. one of my concerns there, to your largest question of joe biden and our national security, he has clearly harmed it. beyond afghanistan, this most painful epic failure in afghanistan has breathed life into the radical islamic terrorist movement in the world. we won't know the consequences how bad, for a long time to come. who he has inspired. what groups morph out of what they

john radcliffe had this to say. >> i promise i would have remembered that and it would have prompted specific action by me that involved chairman millie and donald trump is unequivocally that didn't take place. >> donald from weighing in saying if allegations are true it amounts to an act of treason and he added he put our country in a very dangerous position, millie is a complete nut job but the pentagon, talking treason is a bridge too far. >> for him to see if the allegations made in the book are true than the chairman should be put on trial for treason. >> my goodness. >> we will hear directly from general millie set to testify before the senate armed services committee in less than two weeks over the withdrawal from afghanistan but surely this will come up. >> like griff mentioned this kim jong un if hearing is about afghanistan and there is a lot to unpack these allegations especially when the republicans are going to be front and center because there are so many questions we the american public deserve answers to. here's sean hannity asking what we and to know. >> the question

mark: welcome back, john radcliffe, also a member of congress, my question, this bill they want to pass negative impact on every aspect of this society. what is your input. >> it is colossaly bad, this a country that is 50/50 in terms of republicans and democrats or people that see themselves aligned with one partyer on the other, this is latest example of what we're seeing where one party barely in control in the united states congress is using that to force feed something on the american people they don't want, will hurt them in the long-term. that really challenges you know the fabric of our democracy and our constitution. you know, mark, you mentioned previously about different things that play ropa dope and trying to change the topic from afghanistan. but what you watch what is consistent with this, they are selectively challenging and suspending americans' liberty and freedoms, as democrats, and democrats alone see fit and serve their purpose. this bill is just latest iteration where democrats see the bill they want see it in the moment. it is just you know something that i hope t

great guests larry elder, who is running for governor of california, the voting has begun, and john radcliffe

this comes as we pieced together some of what i brought to you last week where john radcliffe said, ined that if there is no peace accord, the afghan government will crumble in days, wore during the transition, ric grenell told me last week in may of this year there was intelligent saying that the taliban was on the march. so think about this, president biden has the intelligence that the taliban is on the march, he is telling the afghan president to lie, and then you have the july 13th to send cable where you have 22 foreign service officers saying the conditions on the ground are dire, but yet he is telling the afghan president to lie. emily, i am young enough to remember about a year or two years ago where a certain president was impeached over a phone call and it was absolutely ridiculous and partisan, that being president trump, this is an actual phone call that a president should be impeached over as he is telling the afghan president to lie and we see this is after the outcome with afghan set, 13 service members dead and an afghan ally and americans left behind. this is an impe

now i will go to the director of national intelligence at the time, john radcliffe.nity last night. >> i can promise you i would have remembered that and it would have prompted a very specific action by me that involved chairman millie and president trump. so unequivocally that didn't take place. >> it so we have a lot of crosscurrents here. i think you are right about the hearing, we do the transcripts will help you get answers. a lot of people say we should not get in the habit of releasing transcripts because people from the foreign countries would no longer trust the conversations you are having. i imagine you are probably on board with that but how would do we figure this out when we are talking so much about this and not about the chaos in kabul, was happening between north and south korea, what's going on in congress with the right up, a $3.5 trillion bill, all of this is getting lost in the back and forth with milley and what was or was not said. >> it will have to be settled when general milley takes an oath in congress to tell the truth but we will also hav

said if conditions are not met the afghan army and government would collapse within weeks so john radcliffeuccessor that they were going to collapse if those conditions were not met they would evaporate. >> that with all the respect what i think it is come it was not a failure of intelligence it seems to me. it wasas a failure to heed that intelligence. so those thater were produced. >> we have 5000 bad guys and bob graham - - and then we go down at 650 we cannot hold it so we split to july 1st at bagram. and then it fell august 15? august 16? then we have an attack on our troops a couple weeks later can any of you guarantee the american people that those 5000 bad guys come back into that were directly responsible for killing our troops quick. >> i cannot guarantee that. >> i yield back. >> thank you mr. chairman and mr. secretary i have several questions and i appreciate your concise response. general mckenzie, august 30th you told the media while you maintain the ability to bring americans citizens and civilians out until immediately before the departure of the final flight, no civilians
