what us bring, and now mike miller, full pentagon, security policy on us, always good to have you on the program. the fun thing i want to use about bite and speech. he said that the u. s. mission off down on it was never about nation building, but to prevent terrorist attacks on the us. my question, that is why want american troops withdrawn off to the killings of i'll call you to figures well, that's because we were into nation building and, and regime change in nation building. that's basically what occurred. we kicked out the tele bomb in 2001 october, 2001. they were gone for the most part and. and then we lost focus. we, we began and we set up the government there. it's a us created government and in couple then we lost focus by diverting attention to iraq in 2003. and in time afghan stan became known as the forgotten war in yet we were fighting basically 2 fronts, enough kenneth stand and then in iraq. and joe biden has, has even when he was vice president did not approve of obama was 100000 troop increase. and, and as a consequence, this decision of he is today is not surprisi

. >> mike: they are asking bill miller if they can have a look. that angle there, i mean, you really can't tell. >> jon: i guess the umpires in new york, that is the angle that they will be looking at too. >> mike: that is what they are going to look at. i don't know how you can tell from that look. it wasn't exactly down the line. there is a camera well in this ballpark that looks down that first baseline but there is no camera there tonight. >> jon: bill miller, the crew chief, and it was his call. >> mike: this is definitely ratcheting up the drama here, jon. >> jon: if it's a fair ball, then the rockies are ahead. >> mike: charlie blackmon thought he hit a home run. but, there's no way new york could tell from that angle. giants catch a break. >> jon: we didn't have a great angle either but it did look foul from where we were. >> mike: that's what i'm going with! >> jon: it also looked like the winds was pushing it back toward the foul pole. i remember barry bonds hit one one night and it pushed it back and it hit the foul pole. 2-1. up the mi

one former top aide to mike pence has placed the blame on trump's xenophobic advisor stephen miller.via troye recently tweeted -- "there were cabinet meetings about this during the trump administration where stephen miller would peddle his racist hysteria about iraq and afghanistan. he and his enablers across government would undermine anyone who worked on solving the siv issue by devastating the system at dhs and state." in recent weeks, stephen miller has repeatedly appeared on fox news to criticize efforts to resettle afghans in the united states. >> the taliban has all of the control of the government now. the notion that people could just show up at a checkpoint and demand resettlement into the united states, we could have any idea about their background or belief system, where they come from now that u.s.-backed government has fallen, is an impossibility. resettling in america is not about solving -- it is about accomplishing an ideological objective. to change america. amy: that is stephen miller on fox. we're joined now by olivia troye , who worked as homeland security and co

miller. i don't know. i have no -- no excuses and no words for why mike pence refuses to come forward or change his tune. >> i suspect it's because -- i suspect it's because he is did he lewded and can still run for president in 2024. always a pleasure olivia. thank you for your insights. >> thanks for having me. >>> next, the agony of watching the botched evacuation efforts in afghanistan, knowing there is little you can do to get your loved ones and interpreters out. i'll speak to two people who are not giving up. and terror in an age of social media, how the taliban using sophisticated social media practices for political gain. plus, as more children fall victim to the coronavirus, republican leaders are politicizing their health and safety. you're watching "velshi" on msnbc. do not go away. i" on msnbc. do not go away power, we can harness the energy of the tiny electron. we can create new ways to connect. rethinking how we communicate to be more inclusive than ever. with app, cloud and anywhere workspace solutions, vmware helps companies navigate change. faster. vmware. welcome change. what do we want

miller's near singular focus in the white house. now we're seeing the fall pup out unfold in afghanistan. olivia troye served as a top aide to mikeors and other refugees to this country hollowed out under miller's watch. quote, there were cabinet meetings about this where stephen miller would peddle his racist hysteria about afghanistan and iraq. they would undermine anyone who worked on solving the special immigrant visa issue by devastating the system at department of homeland security and the state department. and olivia troye joins me now. a lot of people read what you had to write, had to say over the weekend with a lot of interest, including myself, and in doing some reporting on this as i had sort of come back into this story, the special immigrant -- the special visa has been a huge obstacle here. can you explain what we're talking about and why it's so central to understanding the story? >> yeah, no, it's critical because what it is is it's a special program set aside for people that really assist us when we're on the ground, you know, translators, interpreters, or people who work for the u.s. government directly, whethe

miller. we go now to the bretton woods realignment conference, the subject is the future of money. we have with us mikeat is a big subject. we know cryptocurrencies, digital currencies are very much in focus. what is the tone of the conference as you understand it so far? mike: the tone is very macro and big picture. where are we going, where will it be? and a potential shift in society from printing a lot of dollars to going to something more crypto oriented. what i really impressed with is a lot of people talking about this increasing cold war between the u.s. and china, and the u.s. essentially don't mess it up. that is what we were discussing in the u.s. congress. matt: i was looking at the price of bitcoin yesterday for the first time in a few days. surprised to see it bouncing back up over $46,000. what is behind the rally? over the span of two weeks when we went from scott minerd saying it would crash for sure and would go to zero, two now up to 50% from that level. mike: one thing i appreciate is when people get bearish support. fundamentally, it is still in a good bull market. the key take awa

. >> before we go to break, tim miller, i want to ask you about something that happened on the republican side missouri's governor mikeg guns at social dust -- justice protesters last summer and the rifle touting has been now running for senate. is the kind of thing republican candidates hang to plunder identity on? he got a lot of free airtime on this. >> this senate race, i just wrote about it and you have this crazy gun toting guy on it and the former governor was disgraced for just a really grotesque sexual assault and revenge charges had to leave the governorship he's the favorite right now. then you have the mainstream candidate, eric schmidt of -- he is the one they're getting behind of missouri. it's all about the rigged election. now he's trying to overturn this rigged election and looking for the real o.j., out there looking for the real killer who will overturn this election that donald trump won. this guy is the mainstream candidate. now you've got the gun toting couple, the husband. he is the outsider. there is no trump light. it is trump and trump heavy. this missouri senate race is a prime example of th

former mike pence homeland security adviser olivia troy revealed on twitter yesterday that members of the trump administration led by stephen miller intentionally sabotaged that program negotiating with the taliban. how are the loudest critics of joe biden are keeping refugees out of the united states? >> i think it goes without saying that there's going to be a huge amount of bad faith in the republican party. that said, i think -- look, there's no question it was already well-known that this visa process ground to a halt under the previous administration, that the state department was gutted. i don't think any of that should be used as an excuse for it not being rapidly expedited in the months before this was to come. there were lots of people banging the drum to do that. and it's still not too late for them to drop some of the paperwork, drop some of the bureaucracy and get people on planes. there's reports today that people are being held up in the airport, 10,000 people, because they can't process their paperwork fast enough. get them up and process the paperwork later. so, look, i think part of the problem is that the media

mike pompeo? >> that's what makes it so challenging and so emotional for me and many others, kayleigh. i was just texting with someone who worked very closely with general miller for the last two years in afghanistan. we all are devastated for the loss of life. obviously, joey's a marine. i was commissioned into the navy reserves in 2014. and whenever we lose our people the way we did yesterday, it' awful, right? there's no words to describe it. i feel like what makes it a little bit more awful is the fact that we felt like we maybe could have possibly prevented this from happening. what i am really focusing on going forward is outcome. what is this administration willing to do? i think they thought perhaps isis could reconstitute the way it did after president obama withdrew. the biden officials that are overseeing this whole effort are the same people that oversaw the 2009, 2010 withdrawal of troops from iraq. when we turned them turn into isis. we saw people's heads getting chopped off on national television. that's when president obama and his team decided to do something about isis. this team maybe thought we'll have a couple years before the terrorists s

miller attended many times. >> yep. >> and u.s. envoys spent hours. >> and the president was going to invite them to camp david. >> yeah. >> former president trump. and remember that. and mike >> exactly. but that created a relationship. there are people who they know each other well, they can make those calls. but this withdrawal and the cost in american lives, that is going to make it much harder to build even the tactical trust that they need to fight a common enemy. >> we are, as i noted, waiting for a press briefing from the pentagon. that is the podium there. that is a live picture, the moment it starts we'll bring that to you live. i wonder, i do see some movement in the back of the room. so this might be a short thought. but crisis, it is not unreasonable to use that term this is a crisis for the administration, it is a crisis for the u.s.mill. what is the damage done from events in the last week? >> i am talking to retired military officers. it is not political. they are heartbroken. they feel like they betrayed the people they trained with and fought alongside. there is going to be high threat of suicide, the veterans community is coming out and every day tweeting

mike? >> it will be tough and she will have to run her best race. stephanie mcpherson is one of them, one from jamaica, one from the bahamas, shaunae miller-uibo. same age as allyson's daughter some of the best scenes of the olympic trials when they came out, the two kids were on the track like we're both moms and we're both going to tokyo there are a couple of americans with opportunities in this race. >> it will be fantastic to watch. this will be allyson felix's final individual competition we expect to see her in the relay a little later this will be it for her in terms of her final olympic competition, individual. >> could win that other medal, that 10th medal you're talking about, in a relay, which is very possible, as well. so it's part of the excitement, part of the story. let's do it. leigh diffey is standing by with the call >> the past 2 1/2 years have changed allyson felix for the rest of her life her much publicized break-up with nike, giving birth to her daughter, cameron, and this long journey back to the highest level of the sport at the age of 35 she uses words like appreciative and grateful and she knows that she's changed. sh
