here's kevin mccarthy. horrific. yadda yadda yadda, saying that the speaker of the house, who he thinks he wants to be one day, must bring congress back before august 31st so we can be briefed thoroughly by the administration and prohibit the withdrawal. prohibit the withdrawal of our troops until every american is safely out. this guy is no military strategic genius because leaving more troops would mean they'd attract more attacks from isis. what do you make that the speaker of the house is demanding to come back to force troops to stay in afghanistan but had no interest in investigating the attack on our own capitol january 6th? >> you know, kevin mccarthy is so frickin' hypocritical. while donald trump was mozying up to the taliban and making a deal with the taliban and signaling to the afghan people that america was no longer going to stand behind the afghan government in a matter of months, when he actually tried to invite the taliban to camp david, when he was doing all of that, kevin mccarthy said nothing. an

the chances of kevin mccarthy supporting the biden infrastructure legislation? about the same, which is a big, fat zero. we should note here that the republican representative, most croaks issued a statement supporting this violence that was threatened by this bomber. somebody who had been involved in helping to instigate the insurrection, and what i would also like to say -- see kevin mccarthy do, which is equally as unlikely, is to denounce his whole member for in effect giving and okay to violence. that is where we are now in those politics. and to segue into the infrastructure plan, one would hope that these nine democrats, who have said that they are not going to support anything involving that larger, ambitious, infrastructure package, the 3.5 trillion dollar one, unless and until they get first the bipartisan package, it would be very nice if they made a statement that really was against this kind of insurrection and said we are going to support legislation that improves america. pelosi is putting them on the spot by packaging these things together, and s

of course, as kevin mccarthy pointed out just a week 10 days ago, joe biden was making promises that trips would not leave afghanistan until every american who wanted to leave was given the opportunity to do so. but we have more than $100.00 still stuck in the country stranded. it's been the one that has been used and has been that there's been a lot of back and forth in the briefing room about the exact meaning of the what stranded i think. stranded is perhaps the what he will also talk about how he intends to get them out. how he hopes that taliban will or notice agreements, how he has leverage against the taliban. and you've been discussing that with my one, but it seems a lot for us president to rely on hope rather than say, this is what we're going to do. it's interesting that his comments to the country are coming in the middle of the afternoon and not in prime time, but there is no doubt job bite and didn't start the war in afghanistan. that was done. 3 presidencies that go. but what has happened over the last couple of weeks will cast a shadow over his remaining time in offic

here is the leadership on board, is kevin mccarthy, the guy in to help. okay, go ahead, jen. well, 1st of all, to suggest that, you know, trump supporters is sort of mindlessly following him. i think you're actually describing the bite and supporters, most of whom felt a different way about vaccines until they got into power. they felt differently about mass in the spring of 2020 until they got into power. so i think if you're talking about, you know, sort of the mindless zombies following the mindless zombie president, that would be the followers of president joe biden. but having said that, look, i think that the nomination is certainly president trump. if he wants to run again, i'm not sure that he does. i think he's enjoying his time it in florida, but is certainly in his. i think a lot of this will depend on how successful that trump endorsed candidates for the midterms in 20. 22 are and i happen to think looking at the board across the country. i happen to think he will actually have a very good track record, you know, his endorsement power is 2nd to none. it reminds me

house minority leader kevin mccarthy with us in focus today. i appreciate your words and your time, your expertise. please let us know if any democrats join you on the hill and on the floor asking nancy pelosi to open up the full house and talk about afghanistan. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> harris: president biden walking away again. you just heard leader mccarthy talking about this. i mean, we keep seeing his back side. and i guess if you are on a tik tok doing a dance and that's a move that's fine but for the american people we do have a couple of questions about afghanistan, mr. president. the withdrawal deadline is fast approaching. by this time tomorrow we'll just be about 3 1/2 hours away. former white house press secretary ari fleischer coming up. plus the latest on ida. >> it was loud. we could hear the wind. we could hear things hitting the house and hitting the vehicle. heard a lot of crashing sounds. that was probably the hardest hurricane i've ever been through. >> harris: the storm left a path of destruction. at least one pers

and kevin mccarthy may also call for resignation because of what has happened. the chaos of the last 2 weeks was a security failure. was it an intelligence failure? was it a military failure with a diplomatic failure? there is a feeling among republican, someone has got to pay for this with their job and they're even talking about the i don't capital. well, that's right. impeachment, there are some republican, maybe the usual suspect, but they're saying joe biden to be in peace because he failed to do his job, which is to protect americans by leaving more than $100.00 of them. in afghanistan, i see left the war that he didn't start, but was given the responsibility to finish. all right, and that was alan fisher from washington d. c. charlie angela is monitoring reaction from europe and joins us now from london. so where does the u. s. withdrawal leave europe's evacuation plans and policies. well, we understand the german chancellor under merkel has been in touch with the leaders about the possibility of maintaining some kind of e u presence in kabul to keep up c

we heard kevin mccarthy fight back against that. pelosi called him a moron as she stepped into a car because of his opposition to science. we saw the protest the house republicans did outside, refusing to wear masks and throwing them at staffers and reporters. such an extraordinary amount of immaturity but goes how far apart we are in these two parties working together in any meaningful way, particularly in the house. we've seen some in the senate, and it's at least progress but in the house it's a level of discourse that reflects it's the people's house. and it represents how partisan this country is and how divided we are. it's team red, team blue. and there seem to be very, very few meaningful ways to get people together. as a final point, let's recall it was only six or so months ago in a building not far from where i'm sitting right now which a bunch of trump-loving rioters stormed the capitol saying they are going to hurt if not kill nancy pelosi so to have kevin mccarthy now make a joke about violence against her seems to be

but let me ask kevin mccarthy something. you are the minority leader in the house.received a subpoena from a lawfully constituted committee of the house of representatives, and you say no to going, you are effectively undermining your own power, your own authority down the road to potentially -- if you become the speaker of the house and the republicans control the gavel, what are you going to say to witnesses who say, eh, you're a sham, i'm not going to show up? so it's a very, very tricky decision that he and jim jordan and perhaps others, members of congress who may be called before the select committee are going to have to consider. if you say no, you're undermining your very own power and authority as a member of congress. >> daniel goldman, you always bring good analysis and great information for us to look for in the future. thank you very much for coming to "the sunday show." >> thank you. >>> later on in the show, can a minister who is also a physicist make a serious bid for governor of arkansas? we'll talk to him. >>> but first, the senate is in session on

host: speaking of new rules being made, house minority leader kevin mccarthy is one of the lawmakersho have been criticizing joe biden for the exit deadline and here is what house minority leader kevin mccarthy had to say about his view of keeping a continued military presence in afghanistan. [video clip] reporter: is there a bill you would like to see passed about keeping american troops there only if the situatn becomes too dangerous, which would give the white house discretion as to whether or not the troops should be there, and could you make the argument the situation is already too dangerous? does that bill achieve the goal you want of keeping troops there beyond the 31st deadline? rep. mccarthy: the only way we want troops to be there is make sure americans get back safely and that the troops are safe. the number of troops you bring for safety, ior to the biden administration, he had 2500 troops. he had bagram air force base. 18 months without one casualty. he has more troops on the ground today and he has the most casualties in the last decade. instead of allowing the state d

let's move on now to democrats who are calling on house minority leader kevin mccarthy to apologize topelosi after he joked -- it was a joke -- that he would assault the speaker with a gavel should he become the next speaker of the house. listen. >> if we win the majority -- which i know we're going to, you're all invited. more importantly, i want to ask nancy pelosi to hand me that gavel. [ applause ] it will be hard not to hit her with it, but i will bang it down. thank you. [ applause ] >> i mean, this is getting worse and worse after she called him a moron, he said that he never learns anything when he speaks to her, it's never beneficial. what can be done to repair this relationship, if anything? >> to repair this relationship? unfortunately i think the answer is not much. the question is what does this mean going forward. you know, this is exhibit a of how bad things are. you know, i understand that republicans are saying, wait a minute, she called him a moron. we're both parents, we understand how this works. just because you've said something or your child has said something or
