your colleague, senator marco rubio, is asking millie, the chairman of the joint chiefs, to resign. do you agree with him? >> i have been very disappointed in general milley. i mean, we need a military leader. we need a chairman of the joint chiefs. based on his behavior in the last year or two, we don't have a military leader. we got a politician. >> lawrence: do you believe he was going against the commander-in-chief, president trump? and going to the chinese? >> well, according to bob woodward in the book, yes. and we need to hold hearings and get to the bottom of that. now,. >> lawrence: so should he resign? >> my democratic friends are going to probably sweep that under the rug, but i'm ready to hold hearings. i think general milley has a lot of explaining to do and i think he ought to stop bellowing and honking on like a goose about white rage and actually try to make our country more secure.

and then i think you have republicans, including senator marco rubio, who want to pressure millie to resign, as he's already called for, is wanting president biden to dismiss him. >> milley resigns, how is that a win for rubio? >> it's a really interesting question. i think what he gets is this more close alliance to the head of the republican party, which is former president trump. there are these people, of course, that are going to be vying for marco rubio and see if former president trump doesn't run, can they still run on the trump legacy, on the closeness with trump? because republican voters are very much aligned with trump. if you're someone who is seen as having trump's back, you could then be seen as someone who would take trump's supporters if he doesn't run. so that's the political angle. if you ask republicans, they're saying what marco rubio gets is taking down a joint chief of staff who stepped out of line who republicans think did the wrong thing here. that's a republican view of this because you go back to democrats and say president trump was unstable and he was lyin

let's begin with senator marco rubio. sen.n't know how it is possible, if the people in charge of our foreign policy did not see these factors and conclude there was a real possibility of a very rapid collapse. we have the wrong people making military and diplomacy decisions in our government. sec. blinken: the overall assessment of the community was th after a complete u.s. military withdrawal, that could potentially, in the worst case scenario, need to the taliban capturing kabul within a year or two. that is back in february and that was more or less where things stood in the winter and into the spring. by july, and you are exactly right that the situation was deteriorating as the taliban continued to make progress on the ground, leaving intelligence community did not say that the countrywide collapse would be likely to occur in a matter of days and you referenced -- nothing he saw that i saw that we saw suggested this government and security force wld collapse in 11 days. anchor: remarkable images on the day they u.s. fina

liz: we hear you e we have republican senators marco rubio, senator rand paul and r retired lieutenantindman the star were under witness president trump calling for general milley to step down let's listen to john kennedy onke this. >> based on his behavior in the last year or two we don't have a military leader, we have a politician my democratic friends are going to sweep that under the rug but i'm ready to hold hearings i think general milley has a lot of explaining to do and i think he ought to stop honking on like a goose of rage and tried to make her country more secure. liz: it feels overly political by the general to be involved in stuff like this. it sounds so crazy what is going on in washington it makes us look crazy to the rest of the world, by the way we have north korea, south korea shooting off missiles and intelligence officials warning al-qaeda can attack the u.s. from afghanistan within a years time, that is a conservative estimate that the intelligence agency officials warning that. that is going on with general milley where these are happy, your final word. >> the s

you know we've got republican senators marco rubio, senator rand paul, even retired lieutenant-generalin man, he is calling for milley to step down. listen to john kennedy on this. watch this. >> based on his behavior in the last year or two we don't have a military leader. we've got a politician. my democratic friends will probably weep sweep that under the rug. i'm ready to hold hearings. i think general milley has a lot of explaining to do. he should stop honking on like a goose about white rage and make our country for secure. elizabeth: it seems overly political for a general to be involved in stuff like that. it sounds so crazy what is going on in washington. it makes us look crazy to the rest of the world. and by the way we've got north korea, south korea, shooting off missiles. we've got intelligence officials warning al qaeda could attack the u.s. from afghanistan within a year's time and that is the conservative estimate. that is what defense intelligence agency officials warning that. so this is, that is going on with general milley while also these serious threats are happe

you've got marco rubio in florida, you've got val demings running against him for that senate seat.these folks are going to keep allowing the kind of behavior that we've seen, they're going to keep paving the way for other marches like this to happen, they are pretty much adopting every maga talking point, what do you advise people to do when voting down ballot, particularly will you support marco rubio given what we've heard from him under the trump era? >> well, tiffany, i'll tell you those clips that you just played, they remind me of todd aiken, sharon angle, roy moore in alabama. so if republicans do nominate those kinds of candidates, it is very likely that they will lose, sure. during the midterm elections, the opposition party tends to gain seats, but that's not always the case, and mitch mcconnell does have nightmares about some of these candidates because they have cost him seats in the past. so you can expect mcconnell to try to avoid some of these people making the november ballot. but republicans will get punished if they put forward these kinds of candidates, and i wil

we would like to welcome up senator marco rubio. >> you talked about and said we've got to do somethingmiami, we want and marco here but had to have said it votes so he fought on a plane, rush down here but is carrying a lot of load up in washington on this issue. >> sean: i remember a number of times over the years, your family story which many people relate to and i think there's a percentage of the population that may not understand what it is we're explaining, tell us the story. >> first of all, cuba is a failure that socialism doesn't work, marxism is about power, nothing to do with prosperity, it's about controlling people. it wants to keep people poor because they are easier to control. a marxist system is about leveraging people saying you're not going to have food or medicine for any benefits unless you agree to do what we want celeste the first thing. the second thing is tyranny. the leaders of cuba are not just evil, they are incompetent. you don't get promoted for being smart, you get promoted because your loyal and compliant and you give in. the third is liars. every one of

and i don't think marco rubio read the book yet.read the book and look at it in context. it is true that he is not as chairman of the joint chiefs in the chain of command however he is the most senior military official. he is the adviser to the president. he has tremendous authority and what he was doing here was making sure the guard rails were up, that there wasn't some kind of accident. one senior republican source said to me tonight, quote, no one should be criticizing milley. they all knew trump was bonkers. that's a quote. milley stood up and took precautions to make sure nothing dangerous or illegal happened. he was just making sure the procedures and processes were followed. >> we should note, this came after a conversation that general milley had with speaker pelosi where milley said there are guard rails. guard rails, look what happened with the riot on the capitol. nobody was stopping president trump from doing that and that's what prompted milley to do this. >> 100%. he knew china was rattled. he knew what he had seen on

let's look at facts, not drama, and tell marco rubio, take a chill pill until you ask the general what he said. this is just too much, jim. >> jamie, what do you think? >> i'm going to push back on phil. we're dear friends a little. i don't think i have read the whole book -- i don't think anyone is trying to overpromote the book. and as far as drama is concerned, i don't think it got any more dramatic than what happened on january 6th. >> general hertling, the authors also report that general milley believed former president trump was in serious mental decline. what responsibilities would he then have to safeguard national security, talking about the general at that point? >> yeah, you know, jim, i'm going to do an anecdote here too as well because i worked for a guy in combat that we all -- all the troops thought he was under serious decline. he was a commander. what you do in those situations, you certainly can't pull the guy out of position. you might talk to his superiors. what you do in the meantime is you set up guardrails around him. you reinforce the standards. you do the kind

republicans -- i mean i am just telling you, if marco rubio wants to explore this period, marco rubios mental instability, i mean there have been two books about his instability. this is a familiarure of everybody around the president. jim mattis, john kelly, general milley included, to leave him in office, if there were people back in 2017 didn't think he could be trusted with the country's nuclear arsenal. >> absolutely. but i mean here is the problem, nicolle. it is another problem we talked about over the last four years, is that when an unstable, possibly psychotic sociopathic president remains in office, and after four years the only people he has around him are lackies who will do his bidding, what if he had a lackey as a chairman of the joint chiefs? that's the problem. the problem is we have to strengthen these laws in the event we have presidents like donald trump. by the way, you know, he may run again. >> phil rucker, there is amazing new reporting about -- that really recasts mike pence. i think there was a sense, and you and carol have this extraordinary reporting about

i'm proud to introduce a really good friend of mine, a great conservative, senator marco rubio. [applause] sen. rubio: does anybody have a problem of inviting this lady to visit up with us too? let us give a round of applause for fantastic senator. [applause] sen. rubio: ok copout don't scare him like that. you need to know you're putting a lot of trust in a politician because we have not -- i have not communicated with your folks in florida about the questions we will ask. we have never talked about interviews and we have done this format now. we have done it. can you hear me better? this done this for two years. it is absolutely that we keep getting people to tell us that this is what we want to do. it is a better way for you to understand what makes these folks take good the one thing about being shared the last fears is i am losing hair and i got a bigger got but other than that, i get to know these folks around but -- behind the scene. the goal here in talking to senators is to get to know them behind the scenes and understand what makes them take. we will take a journey tog

and by marco rubio. wendy davis said, after january six, incidents like that, where she was one of the targeted people, there should've been a red flag. that there was something wrong. that align had been crossed in terms of violence in american politics. that trump supporters appeared to be poised for violence. and the lack of law enforcement taking it seriously at all, in fact the praise for the perpetrators. and the lack of any negative consequences for them, she warns that that was an emboldening thing, for anybody thinking they might be able to get away with threats and physical intimidation, and violence, as part of the trump movement. certainly what happened on october 30th, 2020 in texas, was a sign that they were good to go. if they wanted to do anything like that there would be no consequences for. that's october 30th. three days later was november 2nd, the day before the election, and someone hit the democratic party headquarters. as well. in harris county, in houston. >> staffers arrived to w

when i was young i actually got to do a lobbying meeting with marco rubio, our senator here in floridavors and speaking with them. and i remember thinking that we had changed his mind. saying, mom, we changed his mind, and then the next day he voted with the nra like he always had. that has taught me that, number one, folks in office need to be more genuine with people. and we as organizers need to understand that these folks will lie to our faces sometimes. but that's okay. we will continue to fight for justice because we need to honor those who have been killed due to senseless gun gun violence. >> we saw once again stalemate takeover in congress yesterday. senator cory booker announced that his attempt at negotiations on bipartisan police reform legislation basically came to nothing. with republican senator tim scott, there were democratic house members involves, trying to make that on a bipartisan basis. so the issue that is driving your life so far in politics, the issue that is driven you to this point running for office, is the one that seems possibly the most difficult to get a

you even have senator marco rubio, a republican from florida, now calling on president biden to dismiss immediately general milley saying he undermined the commander-in-chief. i also should point out that lieutenant colonel alexander vindman, not a trump ally, she's someone who testified in congress on the first impeachment of president trump when he said he overheard the call between president trump and the president of ukraine saying he was trying to dig for information against joe biden. he was alarmed and really reported that call to use national security council where he was working. he is now saying general mark milley should resign because he broke the chain of command. it's not just trump allies. it's also military officials who found the actions of former president trump to be unstable. he feels he went through the chain of command by really saying to his officials and higher-ups this is what i'm concerned about. this is in some ways an extraordinary moment where you're seeing people not usual out loud on a message saying general mill was taking a step too far. this happened be

marco rubio says general milley undermined the commander-in-chief.ant colonel alexander vindman, someone who testified on the first impeachment of former president trump when he said he overheard the call between the president and the president of ukraine saying he was trying to dig for information against joe biden, he was alarmed and reported the call to thenational security council where he was working. he is no saying general mark milley should resign because he broke the chain of command. it is not just trump allies, it is a military official who found the actions of former president trump to be unstable. he feels like he went through the chain of command by saying to officials and his higher-ups, this is why i'm concerned. this is an extraordinary moment where you see people who aren't usually allied saying general milley probably took a step too far. democrats say it needed to happen because general milley was trying to save and protect the country from a president who was at the time they believe unstable. judy: a developing story. we think b

i'll tell you when i was young i actually got to do a lobbying meeting with senator marco rubio, ourfter a shooting. i remember being there with survivors of that meeting. i remember leaving thinking we changed his mind. mom, we did something here. we changed his mind and the next day he voted with the nra like he always has. so what that's taught me is that number one, folks in office need to be more genuine with people and we as organizers and people working to make this change need to understand that these folks will lie to our faces sometimes, but that's okay. we're going to continue to fight for justice because we need to honor those who have been killed due to senseless gun violence due to action. >> stalemate in yesterday. senator cory booker announced his police reform bill basically came to nothing with republican senator tim scott. there were democratic house members who were involved trying to make that happen on a bipartisan level. so, the issue that you -- that is driving your life so far in politics, the issue that's driven you to this point now in running for office is

a big warning for americans investing in china i'm speaking with florida senator marco rubio

senator rubio, marco, sits on the intelligence committee as well. and so he has heard and seen so much of this over the last couple of weeks as well. but i did not serve in afghanistan, i served in kuwait and iraq. but certainly have had a number of friends that have served in afghanistan. i've had a lot of friends who have left their blood in afghanistan. we've lost a number of soldiers from the 168 infantry down in southwest iowa in afghanistan. most recently we lost corporal dagan paige who was a native of red oak, iowa, move to omaha and graduated from an omaha school. but his family is very close. his grandmother is a dear friend of my mother's. so, we've had significant loss through the last 20 years. and to see the blood, sweat, and tears of not just americans but all of those allied nations that joined us in our fight against terror to see all of that dissipate, just as a thin mess into the air, it is absolutely heartbreaking. and to know that we had this random deadline set by our president and the taliban to come out no matter what on the

confidence in milley but trump is calling for milley to be tried for treason, and republican senator marco rubio in a letter to president biden says, actions by general milley demonstrate a clear lack of sound judgment and i urge you to dismiss him immediately. >> i think that the senator needs to take two aspirin and call dr. mudd in the morning for some counsel. >> reporter: former cia analyst phil mudd firing back at rubio describing the book's allegations as standard chain of command. >> a famous journalist writes a book that sounds like the sky is falling. that's how he sells book. now let's look at the facts, not the environment the journalist bob woodward sets up but what actually happened. during a difficult transition in america, the chairman of the joint chiefs calls a counterpart. it's secret. what so supposed to do, put it on tiktok? of course, it's secret. >> a spokesperson for the general says milley's calls with the chinese were keeping with his duties and responsibilities. >>> and time now for a look at your thursday weather. what's left of hurricane nicholas has stall add long t

book, you have several columns where you disparage anti-capitalist conservatives, like senator marco rubio with his common-good capitalism and market -- market-skeptic republicans like josh hawley. and you also write that tucker carlson's "nationalistic conservatism" is paternalistic populism. how do you understand the modern american conservative movement's economic agenda fusing with populism? >> well, the reason capitalism is inherent in the american understanding of conservatism is this. european conservatism was born in reaction against the french revolution, in reaction against the defense, as european conservatives saw it, of hierarchy, of aristocracy, the throne and altar somehow merged. when conservatism across the atlantic, it became very different. it welcomed the churning of a free society. it welcomed the creativity of the "spontaneous order," to use the phrase frich hayek used constantly. when these so-called conservatives come along and say, "well, we now are going to have hyphenated conservatism -- common-good conservatism, et cetera, et cetera," inevitably, they are saying

now, some republicans, including senator marco rubio of florida, are demanding that millie be fired.it is the essence, a military coup. that's what it would equate to. i don't think there's any doubt that at a minimum, he should be fired. yamiche: but president biden is sticking by general millie. >> all of what's in that book happened before i became secretary of defense, so i can't comment on that, as well, and certainly i won't comment on what's in the book. i have confidence in general millie. yamiche: and there's major news on covid vaccine boosters we'll talk about later in the show. joining us to talk about another newsweek, zolan kanno-youngs, white house correspondent for the new york times. jonathan martin, new york times. sabrina siddiqui, white house reporter for the wall street journal. and kelsey snell for npr> thank you all for being here. zolan, what are the security preparations underway because of this rally? and how many people are expected to attend? zolan: so based off of the permit that was registered, you can expect about 700 people. at least that was on the pe

here's marco rubio. i don't know how it's possible.r foreign policy did not see all of these factors and conclude that there was a very real possibility of a very rapid collapse, then we've got the wrong people making military and diplomacy decisions in our government. the overall assessment of the community was that after a complete us military withdrawal, that could potentially, in the worst case scenario, lead to the taliban capturing kabul within a year or two. so that's back in february, and that was more or less where things stood in the winter and into the spring. by july. .. and you're exactly right that the situation was deteriorating, as the taliban continued to make progress on the ground. the intelligence community did not say that the countrywide collapse of all meaningful resistance would be likely to occur in a matter of days. and you referenced chairman milley, as i did earlier. nothing that he saw, that i saw, that we saw suggested that this government and security force would collapse in a matter of 11 days. you remem

marco rubio. they didn't see it? senator i keep running this map. it's a time lapse map. shows the taliban on the march. all the way through march and april and may and june. 60% of the country and joe biden was still bragging about the afghan military that was collapsing the entire time. >> yes, sean, they can spin that to a lot of different people. they can't spin that to me. i spent hours every week reviewing the same intelligence that the state department and white house had. i went through it again. anyone who was reading consistently the reporting for 4 months and didn't conclude that in fact this could unravel very quickly doesn't know how to analyze this stuff and doesn't belong in that position or ignored it because they wanted to reach an artificial timeline for political purposes and have a big ceremony on september 11th and brag about getting out of the war. they can't lie to me about it. what he said today is false. they either knew or should have known. they are either incompetent or lying now. >> sean: i want to be clear. the american people need ton temper

when alexander goodman and senator rand paul and marco rubio and i agree on something you know it is time to pay attention. all of us very different views on foreign policy. leaving strongly that general mark milley should resign or be terminated immediately. that is a report that he had conversations with foreign governments outside the chain of command, telling china he would give them advance warning if we ever decided to attack? one would have thought that democrats would join republicans and say, all right, enough is enough. you got to go. remember, democrats impeached president trump for a nothing phone call with the president of ukraine. now we know that before president office election and after milley was apparently giving secret counsel to china and engendering. badmouthing democracy. swapping proposal and the reason we notice is because milley was probably the one who bragged about it to bob woodward for his new book. nothing else to do. of course, printed biden and his team think milley conversations were neither improper, illegal, or unconstitutional. >> reporter: did wi

when rand paul and marco rubio and i agree on something it is time to pay attention. all of us with different views on foreign policy believe general mark millie should resign or be terminated as biden's chairman of joint chiefs of staff. after reports he had conversations with foreign governments outside the chain of command telling china he would give them advanced warning if we decided to attack, one would have thought that democrats would join republicans and say enough is enough, he's got to go, democrats impeached donald trump for a phone call with the president of ukraine. before the presidential election and after, millie was apparently giving counsel to china in january was bad mouthing democracy as sloppy and the reason we know this is because millie was probably the one who bragged about to bob woodward for his new book and president biden and his team think millie's conversations were neither improper, illegal or unconstitutional. >> i have great confidence in general millie. >> i see nothing at what i've read that would cause any other. what i'm concerned

following that, florida senator marco rubio will join an iowa senator at a fundraiser hosted by the iowa republican party. the two senators will spend their time together on capitol hill, and talk about their respective childhoods and what drew them into politics. that is tonight on c-span. you can also watch anytime online at c-span.org. coming up, today's pentagon briefing -- john kirby will be joined by todd walters, the commander of u.s. european command. they are expected to answer questions on the united states ending its military mission in afghanistan. coverage is set at 3:00 on c-span. it is also on c-span.org, or listen with the c-span radio app. >> it is open for a washington journal. we will get to your calls momentarily. we started the program talking about a decision reached late last night, issued late last night by the supreme court. here's the reporting on that. it is from the hill. the supreme court declines to block the texas abortion law. the supreme court refused on wednesday to block a ban on most abortions, leaving the most restrictive abortion effort intact.

today, these revelations were enough to push marco rubio, rand paul and others to call for milley's firing as well. good for them. after four years, think about this, of liberal journalists squawking that trump was a tyrant, authoritarian figure and demanded personal loyalty that everyone worked for him, woodward writes it was milley who demanded a legion, not to the u.s. military code or the constitution, but to himself. during the final days of the trump white house, he elected lycee to the top officers no matter what you are told you do the procedure, do the process ad i'm part of that procedure and then he went around the room and looked each officer in the eye and asked them to verbally confirm that they understood. milley considered it an oath. as the "angle" has noted on many occasions, the u.s. military needs a top-down reform led by general spy milley come our military, best equipped in the world has not won a major war since world war ii. it has been marred by one failure after another, failure or not due to the valiant effort of men and women but due to the leadership. which has

marco rubio praised what happened as well. he told a trump rally, did you see it? we love what they did. nothing appears to have come out of any fbi investigation of what happened there. no local law enforcement in texas bothered with it either, apparently. there were no consequences for anybody involved in that. this past summer, the bus driver and the other people onboard brought a civil suit against the trump supporters who bragged about doing it online, about running the bus off the road. bragged about hitting a volunteer's vehicle. they filed that lawsuit, a civil case, in june of this year. but i guess that is still the only hope for any resource. otherwise, there have been no consequences, they got praised by trump and rubio. so wendy davis said, incidents like that, where she was targeted, there should have been a red flag, that there was something wrong, a line had been crossed in terms of violence in american politics. trump supporters appeared to be poised for violence. and the lack of law enforcement taking it seriously at all, in fact, the praise for t

the kind of speech that marco rubio could have given and it's about fatherhood. say what you will about barack obama. i think he's a good father and he's committed and sincere. his booktt is a testament. his memoir probably more than any other a testament to the joys of fatherhood. and if the children in america were brought up showered with as much affection, this would be a different world. it would be a different country. obama knows this. he told us so in chicago father's day of june, 2008. in the speech, he starts talking about we hear a lot about the police brutality, systemic racism but if we are going to be honest with ourselves, if we are honest with ourselves, we have to recognize that the problem is right here. too many men acting like boys, too many men abandoning their children.. too many boys growing up in fatherless homes. then he goes into the statistics and i'm estimating here the spirit of the talk fatherless boys are ten times more likely to drop out of school and to commit crimes, 20 times more likely to end up in prison. knows this. he says a

the kind of speech marco rubio could have given, and it's about fatherhood. say what you will about barack obama, i think that he is a good father and is committed and sincere. his book is a testament. his memoir probably more so than any other presidential memoir everbl written. a testament to the joys of fatherhood.oy and if his children in america were brought up and showered with as much affection. in father's day and jude of 2008 he starts talking about the police brutality sent if we are going to be honest with ourselves we have to recognize that the problem is right here. too many men acting like boys. too many men abandoning their children. too t many boys growing up in fatherless homes. then he goes into the statistics. they are not exactly right, but the spirit of the talk. fatherless boys are more likely to drop out of school been 15 times more likely to commit crimes, 20 times more likely to end up in prison. he knows this. what is the result of this? we hear sirens in the middle of the night and we know they are coming for our children. and he's

here with reaction, florida senator marco rubio.en like a week and a half that he has even mentioned afghanistan. then you have all these other crisis i am mentioning. you see what is going on down at the border. you see what is happening with the economy. you see what is happening with covid. now we are begging opec to produce more oil. i don't think my lifetime presidency could be this bad this quickly, but it is happening before our eyes. >> joe biden was elected on the promise that he was going to return to normalcy, competency to the american government. that's what he said. what you see now is a cascade of calamities and they were all created by him. and by actions he took. you can go around for months arguing that there's not gonna be border security and crew, creating the perception that people can get into the country and not expect that thousands of people to come. and we are witnessing now is heartbreaking to see. it's understandable and it's 100% caused by everything they have said and done that is led up to this. by the

i would love it right now if senator marco rubio and donald trump and all these other republicans wholey, a decorated combat veteran of treason. are they going to issue an apology? no, of course not. they'll go onto the next lie and next full outrage. i think general milley laid to bed some of these libelous accusations laid on them. the other was afghanistan. i think that was sort of a wash because i think the general's testimony provided ammunition for both critics and supporters of the withdrawal. i thought general milley struck the right balance. strategically it's still a failure because this was a government that we had backed for 20 years and collapsed in a matter of weeks. so that's obviously not a success. i thought he was -- general milley and general mckenzie were calling it straight. the military is not politicized, they're not taking sides. they're giving their best military advice. >> all important contexts there. i mentioned that bob woodward was here last night and i think people, msnbc viewers have seen him on multiple programs explaining his reporting. it's not a sec

. >> kayleigh: senator marco rubio, pick up did he say it best?'s roll the tape. >> coming up they have an internal party problem. they have the radical left wing nut cases who wanted to be 7 trillion. and you have a handful of people that have not gone mark six -- marxist yet that are sort of more normal in their view and they are pushing back. >> kayleigh: the moderates are more normal, haven't gone marxist just yet. >> a greater perspective is what is so important and it is frightening. we pay these people's south respect and there is a -- no ability to get anything done. it costs us more printed remember in 2011 when do you had state's credit rating was lowered from aaa to aa? that lowered credit rating cost us this text mcnellis $1.3 billion per here embedded borrowing costs. bargain from who? china is our biggest thinker as we know. they have $1.1 trillion in debt. and that same cast of characters, by the way, the same group of people, the decrepit people, these elected officials whose salaries we pay are the ones who cannot get it together
