. >> joining me now to discuss is mike rogers, he's former chairman of the house intelligence committeehe end of the war in afghanistan marks the end of an era for the u.s. military to, quote, remake other countries. as you know, that is -- that broad position has bipartisan support, by the way, president trump had a similar position, not just on afghanistan. talked about leaving nato or taking forces out of south korea. before we get to how the withdrawal was handled, was the withdrawal itself an acknowledgment of that, the remaking countries simply didn't work? >> yeah, well, i mean, i think i disagree with the premise h honestly. listen, this is about an enduring peace. we weren't at war with afghanistan. the government of afghanistan was our ally. what we were doing was fighting extremism of all sorts. i mean, it's kind of a petri dish of extremism. i argue the reason we kept troops in germany was not because we were at war with germany, but we were a counter weight to russia. same in korea with the north koreans. same in japan, and now look, we're counter weighting to china and oth

this time in cybersecurity i talked to retired admiral mike rogers this week he's the former head of the super secret national security agency and he told me why he's worried. >> it's fair to say the only limit broadly in cyber these days is the limits of the h imagination because there's almost no limit to what you can do >> and that's why in new york the nypd and others have established a new cyber command center to watch for new threats heading to new york. >> whether it's a highly sophisticated cyber actor in an organized terrorist group or a hostile foreign power that's an actual government, you're going to see the ability to attempt to get into critical infrastructure systems that you're going to need to use in the event of an attack, whether that's from a nation stayte or a terrorist group and to disable those systems when you need them most. >> now john miller told me he worries about the possibility of terrorists uses ransomware attacks on companies to raise funds for future terrorist attacks, and it's imagining that combination of terror tactics and cyber that officials are

there was a tweet from reuters politics with a picture of your colleague mike rogers. the quote is, unmitigated disaster. republicans attack biden's defense of the afghan pullout. would you agree with that assessment of how the withdrawal went from afghanistan? mr. johnson: yeah, absolutely. within a few hours of this debacle beginning, i came out and said i think it will -- it will wind up being one of the worst foreign policy and military mistakes in our history. i do not think that's an overstatement because the reverberations go on for a long, long time because of this disastrous withdrawal. it was done in a way that was reckless and seem to be a completely political decision by the president. we know that he either forgot the advice he was given by his top military officials or he openly ignored it. and either one of those scenarios is alarming. i asked that very question of the three top generals who appeared yesterday, the secretary defense austin, general milley and of course general mckenzie. while they will not say what they told the president behind closed d

i want to yield to the ranking member, mike rogers. >> i to have the honor of leading republicans on the armed services committee. i want to make the point that speaker pelosi may have ran this morning on dealing with these issues by not recognizing the resolution, they won't be able to run. there will be many amendments addressing this, i am certain intend to bring up all components of his resolution to be debated fully. second, this disaster be experienced is solely the responsibility of joe biden, antony blinken, and jake sullivan. this was not a military failure, not a military -- the chain of command was led by the state department. the decisions were led by the state department missions. the troop levels were led by those decisions. that was a state department and joe biden decision. when you saw 600 troops in kabul , that was the decision by the state department. they own this, not the military. there was no one who objected to it. we call that alive. secretary of defense austin, you should ask general mckenzie. asked directly. joe biden and antony blinken and jake sullivan ca

he described the evacuations as chaotic and congressman mike rogers was talking about the president.t when the war was over the president said this afghanistan war was a success? he says it was an extraordinary -- the president says it's an extraordinary success. it was an extraordinary disaster. one of the greatest failures of american leadership and we have lost trust in biden's foreign policy. brian: lost the war in 2014 barack obama's administration said we are moving from an offensive situation to a defensive support role. you can't lose the war when you say in 2014 it was a support role. you chose to leaf that support role even though strategically, keeping bagram and six or seven of the other bases would have been in our interest to not only watch the terrorists but to keep an eye on china, russia, and iran. if you explained that to the american people, that it's not an endless war, but it's a tactical advantage to be there, we get it we got the competency in 2001. ainsley: they are executing, amputating, and who knows if they are come here next. we have our southern border co

that is from their letter but ranking member mike rogers spoke with me yesterday and he told me thinks he will be able to get some bipartisan support on those amendments. >> i know there is a large percentage of the democrat members of our committee that vigorously oppose biden administration's policy to withdraw from afghanistan. there is even a bigger majority of the democrat members who opposed doing it the way it was done. so i expect you see democrats support a lot of these amendments. reporter: there is also a lot of talk, neil, about that $6 billion in unspent funds that was appropriated for former afghan security forces that will obviously not be used anymore. they should use the money for the economy in the region. kevin mccarthy says it should go to bring remaining americans home. ultimately it will be best left to the ndaa markup. i'm told, neil, we should expect a very long night. neil? neil: probably. you down there, you working very long hours. aishah, thank you very much. ndaa, national defense authorization act, that is a pretty big deal. it authorizes all military spen

>> i need to come at the top republican on the house armed services committee mike rogers said blamee on the military for the way the afghan war ended. >> we just have to admit this was the state department and white house that causes catastrophe, not the defense department. it will go down in history is one of the greatest failures in american leadership. >> anita: congressman mike hanson from louisiana read from the transcript of president biden's interview claiming top brass did not recommend keeping 2500 troops in afghanistan. >> either the president lied to the american people or he legitimately cannot remember the counsel of his top military advisors. >> i will look at the appropriate level of our forces which should have been 2500. >> if we left 2500 people there for a long and extended period of time eventually would have to reinforce those people because the taliban was committed to attacking. >> what did the president no, that he forgot what was told to him or was he not being truthful? >> that is an inappropriate question. >> chairman armed services committee defended the

i want to commend chairman adam smith and ranking member mike rogers for their good work and bipartisan working relationship. unfortunately, the next measure i'll discuss isn't nearly so positive. this bill is a continuing resolution to fund the government through december 2021. -- december 3, 2021. rather than advancing a clean negotiated c. -- c the majority is using it as a vehicle to push through a suspension of the debt limit. this is a nonstarter with the republicans as the majority well knows and as such i expect all republicans will oppose it. taking control of the presidency and the senate in january, the majority has been on a spending spree unlike any other in our history. earlier this year, the democrats ran through -- rammed through a partisan $1.9 trillion reconciliation bill. ostensibly about covid relief, but really about pushing forward a laundry list of progressive policies. last week 13 authorizing committees met another partisan -- met on another partisan reconciliation bill, this one larded up with a whopping $3.5 trillion in progressive policies like those found in

mike rogers said we cannot afford to cut corners and play politics with our national security.iden's proposed defense budget for fiscal your 2022 was wholly inadequate, leaving our men and women of the armed forces in uniform in a formal position and a weakness to her adversaries. the progressive democrats have said surpassing the president's budget by such a lars an unwarranted amount should not be the starting position of the house armed services position, particularly when the current spending level should already be reduced. a question for you, has the withdraw from afghanistan changed the consideration in the house armed services committee at all? does it change the discussion at all? guest: i don't know it would change discussion. mostly because i think it is already a done deal. we have the services committee with a lot of democratic support at $25 billion. i expect the armed services we do the same today. chairman smith has said he is comfortable with bidens level, he feels like there needs to be some recognizing -- reckoning at a of military spending, but he is realist

i commend the outstanding leadership of chairman smith, ranking member mike rogers for delivering a strong bipartisan legislation that provides for our common defense. i'm personal grateful this bill includes dozens of my provision, i'm most proud of the fact this bill sends a clear bipartisan message we must keep our defense spending level with inflation. as the white house strategy guidance states, america must confront global challenges from a position of strength and not weakness. i'm also proud this bill includes multiple provisions ensuring oversight and accountability for the recent detackbackle in afghanistan. this crisis is ongoing. with unhas of u.s. citizens and residents, including my constituents from nebraska, who are still trapped in afghanistan. what it the way the botched withdrawal was handle should not be a partisan issue. i'm proud the house has not backed away from its responsibilities. i urge support of this bill and yield back. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from alabama reserves. the gentleman from washington is recognized. mr. smith: continue to

roger bootle, capital economics founder and chairman. tom: while you are gone, jon, seriously, a huge topic out there, and mike mckee lined up all these fed presidents. lacker is a former official, i felt was a little more candid, but jon, it is out there against the bulls, who are extending out their x axis well out into 2022, 2024, and say it will continue. jonathan: somehow, the end of the cycle is around the corner. lisa is always thinking about that. i am not poking fun at lisa here. we are asking that for legitimate reasons. i'm sure that will resonate with you. this time around, it is not a worry about the fed being too tight, it is about the fed being to lose, which would ultimately lead to the end of the cycle. lisa: people are saying this time is different, and it is because of the fiscal impulse in addition to the monetary impulse, and it really comes down to the labor market and how much wages go up. that is why this friday's jobs report is so important to the fed. tom: it is the pendulum of charmin. jonathan: the pendulum of charmin. tom: maybe jon does not know charmin. jonathan: believe it or not, i needed toilet paper at s

djokovic remains tied with roger federer and rafael nadal with 20 career major. >> so let's bring in mike. but you know, really from the beginning and this is to take nothing away from medvedev, nothing to take anything i would say his name perfectly here, by the way. but it was like djokovic was like a boxer that didn't have his legs underneath him the entire fight. and in this case the entire match. he just was looking exhausted out there from the beginning. >> you know, joe, it reminded me of a match 20 years ago when layton hewitt did that to pete sampras, from the jump you had to trust your eyes and why djokovic looked a step slow and medvedev just looked faster and better from the start. you know it is so funny, i wrote a column in yesterday's daily news saying you could finally cheer djokovic and you don't think he wanted to get thrown down a flight of steps by medvedev. but there is a only tennis expression, it is why they put the net up. we expected one kind of great story yesterday and then we got a completely different story. it is like we did with the two wonderful young women

roger stone to speak. january 4th i believe was the day mr. eastman was in the oval office and mikece was being pressured to in trump's word, do the right thing and refuse to certify. it feels like a really important day for this committee to understand trump's role in trying to orchestrate the overthrow of the vote. >> yes. yamiche said the play here, the movie, the mini series is going to be called "the committee isn't playing". i would suggest an alternative title, which is "they are coming for him". >> yeah. >> they are coming for him. everything about this effort has been appropriately, i think -- and i think impressively, rigorous and thorough and tough and focused on donald trump's role. and i think, you know, we saw the president was impeached for this. he got impeached a second time. we saw an incredible display in the united states senate just after donald trump left office when he was impeached the second time. we already know that he was impeached for incitement. right in it's not like there is mystery about donald trump's role at the highest level of all of this. the hi
