joining me now is michael mccaul the ranking member of the house foreign affairs committee. inquiry that's gone on for a year now, you've accused the biden administration of a complete lack and failure to plan. what do you see as the biggest mistake, congressman? >> well, this are several, think not heeding the warnings of the intelligence community i was warned by or the top general about the dire situation on the ground and imminent threat that kabul would fall, the entire country was imploding and the state department has this rose si picture of what was happening devoid of reality. you had 16 as i mentioned and i think stunningly in the report, we mentioned that the taliban did offer for americans to secure kabul for purposes of the evacuation and this would have completely changed the way this was done. instead, that was declined by the white house and then they left the perimeter to the taliban to be in charge. you saw a year ago today kabul fall. you saw people trying to get on the wheels of the airplane taking off. you saw the helicopter leaving the rooftop of the em

michael mccaul, he's the ranking republican member of the house foreign affairs committee released a on behalf of the biden administration. in the preparation and leadup to the withdrawal in afghanistan. and they want a lot of answers. they're hungry for answers. and they argue that they're going to have a really brutal investigation into some of these flawed decisions, which they call them. if they take that majority next year. and i have to just say, too, this is just one part of a much broader area of investigations that republicans are looking at. they're very eager to sink their teeth into the biden administration. and several different agencies that they argue are abusing their power or aren't giving them enough information. of course, i did speak with the state department. and i also obtained a memo from the white house this weekend, defending the biden administration's decision to evacuate people from afghanistan, and evacuate troops from afghanistan. this is a decision that donald trump had made before biden had even come into office and also that it was time to end the 20-y

withdrawal is still a work in progress, the top republican of the house foreign affairs committee, michael mccaul'sere with us. good morning, congressman. >> thanks for having me. >> this deserves a full conversation. let me do this bit of business on the events of the past few days. senator marco rubio issued a letter saying it was outraged not to have been briefed and he blasted the fbi saying that they have done more damage to faith and the rule of law than the russian federation or any other foreign adversary. is his anger misplaced? >> you know, i think it comes on the heel -- i think "the wall street journal" did a great article about how after the russian collusion, steele dossier, everything that took place during the trump presidency and now out of office to have this raid take place, look, i'm a doj alumni, i worked at public integrity here at main justice. what i worry about, margaret, is the lack of trust in our -- and faith in our institutions. that concerns me most above all. and i think when you saw the dhs bulletin about potential threats now to the agents, this is the whole fabric

. >> you invited michael mccaul. >> at the last minute, she invited michael mccaul.e not allowed to go on a pro delta in another country unless it is bipartisan. she is the speaker. she is the only one that changes the rules. >> she was killed in this car crash. another lady who was driving was also in her 50s cut across. cut across the median. and at them head-on. she died in two of our in her 20s died. >> this is devastation. anyone who has known jackie. she came in 2012 and ran in 2010. she is a public servant. i spoke to her husband yesterday. in congress, you become a family. dean would come to our retreats and play music. he was going to retire next year. jackie just got her knee replaced. the two of them are missionaries in romania. she was a reporter. she serves on the most prestigious committee in congress. i had an opening and ethics. a place that nobody wants to go. you have to have people who have integrity. i called her up first thing. would you need to be the republican leader? it is because of the respect everybody has very. it is devastating. >> ainsl

michael mccaul, ranking member of the house foreign affairs committee that published the review.ribes a very chaotic, unorganized, basically a mess at the u.s. military withdrawal in the final days. the white house is pushing back, saying that the president refused to send another generation of americans to fight a war that should have ended long ago, and calls your report a partisan report riddled with mistakes. >> we have not presented anything to congress really since the collapse. they refuse to cooperate with my investigation, even though we gave them ample opportunities. many of their witnesses would not talk to us. they -- important documents like this dissenting memo from the embassy, embassy employees, 23 of them calling to the secretary of state's attention that the situation was so dire that they needed to evacuate at that time. it was chaotic, bret. because they didn't have a plan. they didn't listen to the intelligence community on the ground or our top military officials in the pentagon who kept telling me this thing is going to happen fast, sooner rather than later

no republicans even though michael mccaul was invited.brian: i signed up for it, it is free, i thoroughly recommend it. mike to cano as well as andy kim and susan dell benet. they are going to singapore right now. with the biggest story is there going to south korea and japan. somewhere in between. will he be going to taiwan? >> ainsley: not answering the question now. on the sunday shows this was a big conversation. mike pompeo talked about how china is not supposed to dictate american foreign affairs and what our leaders do. listen. >> i think of the 13 americans killed in afghanistan or the fact that our president said he can have a small invasion in ukraine and that would be okay. i think that risk, the deterrent force of power, the good work we did for four years, it increases the likelihood that she might use this as an excuse to do what he has long wanted to do. we shouldn't under underestimate the risk but we shouldn't allow the chinese communist party to issue a statement and tell american leaders where they can and can't go. so

. >> that was michael mccaul, from the house for affairs committee talking about the new republican report on the airlift out of the airport. a few more details from that report, they note that the investigation found 36 officers were on site at the airport during the peak of the evacuation. the lack of personnel led to an norm us administrative backlogs for the thousands of people who possess the proper documentation to come to the united states but were left behind. 1450 afghan children were evacuated without apparent or guardian. the investigation determined that over 800 american citizens were left behind, several times the amount the administration claims were stranded when the withdrawal concluded. the u.s. government had continued to facilitate evacuations. 84 american citizens remain who are still trying to leave afghanistan. that is according to a committee aide. back to your phone calls. this is marley in l.a. caller: can you hear me? our people and our military should not be sent into danger unless it's necessary. the least our leadership can do is have good short-term and long-

kevin mccarthy or maybe michael mccaul on the foreign affairs committee, or one of our intel committee members, should have accompanied her to show that our true bipartisan support of taiwan. everyone have been receiving confusing signals coming out of the white house. president biden says we will defend taiwan. his staff rolled the back and that happened a number of times. i refer to the taiwan relations treaty of 1979 signed by jimmy carter that says we will support taiwan and help them in the event there is aggression from china. the aggressive moves from china by moving through the taiwan straits, one of their propaganda wings saying they were going to shoot down the plane, is absurd. but we need to stand strong and unified. a unified nancy pelosi with kevin mccarthy or other prominent republicans, noticeably absent, sends a symbol of weakness and authoritarianism and one side of this that dominates the culture in washington. host: the washington post highlights the fact the other people traveling with speaker pelosi on this trip was the house foreign affairs committee chairman, gr
