but as the leader said, and as mr. banks said, i don't think they're going to address the fundamental question. the fundamental question of why wasn't there a proper security presence at the capitol that day? they're not going to address that. only one person can answer that question. only one. the speaker of the united states house of representatives. my hunching is -- my hunch is, the reason they don't want to answer that question is what happened all last year? the democrats' normalized an, ay. they normalized rioting and looters. when rioters and looters attacked our law enforce. personnel, when rioters and looters attacked small business what did democrats do? they went and raised money to bail them out of jail and continue to talk about defund police and did that in major urban areas which is why crime is up. they didn't want to talk about that stuff. they just want to be partisan. they want to continue to attack the former president. they want to play their political games. i applaud leader mccarthy for saying we

mr biden said washington had achieved its initial goal of punishing those who launched the september th attacks, but admitted the taliban's growing strength caused uncertainty. mr biden said that there was no sence in prolonging the us stay in afghanistan beyond the end of next month. in 2011, the nato allies and partners agreed that we would end our combat mission in 2014. in 2014, some argued one more year. so we kept fighting, we kept taking casualties. in 2015, the same — and on and on. nearly 20 years of experience has shown us that the current security situation only confirms that just one more year fighting in afghanistan is not a solution but a recipe for being there indefinitely. it is up to the afghans to make the decision about the future of their country. our north america correspondent, david willis, says there are questions around the speed of the withdrawal. we were led to believe september the 11th would be the date but now it will be by the end of august, president biden said today. he also made the point that the united states could no longer afford as the human cost

mr. dunn said, this case is unprecedented. when you look at the charges, it is a corporate department. it is a corporate car. it is, in one case, a significant matter in the charges is the payment of his grandchildren's tuition, which every expert on the planet tell you is a gift. at least many of the experts we have spoken to, if not all of them. so these charges are unprecedented. they are unique. people across the country we believe have heard of corporate department, of corporate cars. all of this is on the books. that is how they know about it. and so, in my personal view, it's not appropriate. and quite frankly, it sets a pre cedent. i think in 244 years, we have not had a local prosecutor go after a former president of the united states or his employees, or his company. and that is a significant line to cross. and quite frankly, not just as a lawyer but as a citizen, we are very concerned about that. so that in the future, if some prosecutor in a different political jurisdiction, in a red state or in a red county, decides to take aim at a federal official or people close to them

but as the leader said and as mr. banks said, i don't think they're going to address fundamental question. the fundamental question of why wasn't there a proper security presence at the capitol that day? they're not going to address that. and only one person can answer that question. only one. speaker of the united states house of representatives. my hunch is, my hunch is the reason they don't want to address that question, my hunch is because what happened all of last year. the democrats normalize anarchy. they normalize rioting and looting. and when rioters and looters attacked our law enforcement personnel, when rioters and looters destroyed small businesses, what did democrats do? they went out and raised money to bail them out of jail and they continue to talk about defunding the police. and in fact did that in all of these major urban areas, which is why crime is up. so they don't want to talk about that stuff. they just want to be partisan. they just want to continue to attack the former president. they want to
