maria: welcome back.ck with former secretary of state mike pompeo, also a fox news contributor. let me point out that we are also following the latest on tropical storm henri. you can look on the side of the screen to get the very latest, we will be doing that all day. mr. secretary, i've got to get your take on the consequences of this cut and run pullout of afghanistan. the historian bernard lewis worried that the greatest danger to global stability is when america comes to be seen as harmless as an enemy and treacherous as a friend. this is something larry lindsey posted last week and i want to bring up this global times treat. this, of course, the global times is the international mouthpiece for the chinese communist party and as soon as we saw the cut and run out of afghanistan, the editor-in-chief of global times treats this. after the fall of the kabul regime, the taiwan authorities must be trembling. don't look forward for u.s. to protect them, tapia need to order when they surrender to liberation

maria: yep.quipment are you worried about attack in the u.s. >> i think with how many jihadist movements feel emboldened victorious we need to be concerned about you have seen a number of troops spun up feel like this was a massive victory that wind is at their backs we need to be vigilant, we also need congress to step back in reclaim its war powers because you talk about that equipment, imagine if congress had to sign off every time they wanted to send attack helicopters additional armor asking questions then that we are only asking now. -- >> i guess 80 billion dollars of equipment left on the ground no problem, as they spend six trillion dollars creating a greene economy, congressman thanks very te much for being here let's continue the conversation on part two, this evening on maria bartiromo's wall street we will see the you then, thanks very much sir we'll be right back. . ♪ ♪ it's a wishlist on wheels. a choice that requires no explanation. it's where safe and daring seamlessly intersect.

maria: yeah.> company can make a lot of time that over time they will have to shift which is clearly where they are going to. maria: yeah, it's important to recognize that 30 years ago it was a different communist party than today. xi jinping is modeling himself like mao-dan as opposed to previous ccp leaders who entertain the idea of opening up, entertaining the idea to moving to the middle to watch and see democracy and free markets take place and their impacts. it was a great warning that you gave investors a long time ago and we are certainly with you on that story, nancy, good to see you, thanks very much. >> have a good day. maria: nancy lazar from cornerstone macro. president biden creating chaos after refusing to extend the august 31st deadline to get americans out of afghanistan. the fallout wide and deep as his poll numbers slide. next hour the taliban is using twitter as a tool while the platform bans conservative voices including former president trump. the ceo of parlor is back with u

maria: i see.just more playing loose with the law which is what we have seen from this administration from day one, you know, i spoke with a border source over the weekend and he's told me he's not expecting the administration to enforce the remain in mexico policy. we know that the federal judge ordered the administration to put back in place the remain in mexico policy but my source at the border says that's not what it feels like on the ground. could they do that or maybe they're just trying to get around it with moves like this? >> look, they can try not to not enforce something that the federal judge told them to. we will take them back to court. i talk to the chief of border patrol, from the time that biden came into office, he has not once been asked to try to stem the tide of illegal immigration. he was discouraged from doing that and that's one of the reasons he was pushed out. maria: unbelievable. this surge in migrants, we are at the highest we have been so far. it's obviously dominating

maria: michael -- >> yeah, maria -- maria: your thoughts here.yeah, just to add to that, bagram air base was the only base in the world that we had sandwiched between china, russia iran and that we could also strike these terrorist groups, the only one. not a single country around afghanistan has agreed to host an additional base. it's also just a few hundred miles from the chinese province, shenyang province where the uyghurs are. on top of that, there are over a trillion dollars of rare earth and critical min ifals in afghanistan that we could have had access to that, and on top of that, india is feeling even more isolated because the taliban are aligned with pakistan and china. but the biggest piece is the propaganda win here. the chinese are already telling taiwan america won't stand with you, this is evidence. the russians are telling the ukrainians the same thing, and at the end of the day, democracy and america's values lose. jihad wins, authoritarian regimes win, and america will not stand with you. maria: this is such an enormous mistake

maria: okay. the other question i wanted to ask you do you support the concept of civil military fusion? >> i do not support -- it is not our understanding that -- the technology to the chinese government. >> is the chairman of your company a communist member? >> i believe he is, yes. >> tell me about huawei's role in china's surveillance of its citizens, the surveillance state, what are you doing in terms of working on surveillance? is that all huawei equipment the way that the citizenry is tracked? >> i don't have information as we talked about -- maria: you are the chief security officer at huawei. you don't have information on that? huawei isn't the only method that china uses to engage in economic subversion. the communist party also infiltrates and exploits developing countries. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ we've got you taken care of, sgt. houston. thank you. that was fast! one call to usaa got her a tow, her claim paid... ...and even her grandpa's dog tags back. get a quote. age-related macular degeneration m

maria: all right.s just extraordinary to me that you really do not know what's in the infrastructure bill. there's a trillion dollar and you don't know the details of that one and then nancy pelosi wants to tie it to the other massive spending bill which has plenty of gimmicks in it. is it valued at 3 and a half trillion or 5 and a half trillion? senator: i think it's much higher. i think it's much higher than democrats are admitted to at a time we can't afford it. you look at the run away inflation. nancy pelosi says not a penny for roads, bridges, or airports unless and until the senate passes this much bigger as you say 5 trillion-dollar bill. that wasn't a negotiation with nancy pelosi. this would be terrible for the country. she's not just a highjacker but whatever sonnist because she's putting fuels on the flames and the people who will suffer under this is people living under fixed income and seniors, people getting by paycheck to paycheck, all americans will pay through inflation, through taxes

maria: wow.ou have a couple of things going on. if prices are determined by supply and demand you have at the same time because of the -- because of the pandemic, you have prices that have increased because of all issues in supply chain. you have supply decreasing and demand increasing and more uncertain areas, we talk about building materials, prior shows, cars, et cetera. yesterday we had a really good data point. we have been talking a lot in the financial press about peak this, peak earnings, peak inflation, can we continue to have market acceleration to have peak earnings. yesterday we may have had the peak inflation. the rate of inflation in yesterday's number for last month came down and what you also saw likely because of the delta variant is that that inflation went from largely things like rental cars and used cars to services because we are now getting out and doing things. so i think we have to remember the temporary doesn't mean a week or a month. temporary probably means six, nine,
