explain. >> my thoughts and prayers are with the servicemembers family but here's what is shocking.far in this investigation no one has been arrested, no one has been charged and no one has had their parole revoked by ice, this cannot be happening. if we cannot guarantee the safety of our service members on american military installations and how do we ensure the safety of the american people once this resettlement start services anywhere in the united states of america. >> unbeknownst to this host until a few minutes commitment you have to have a buddy system on a us military base where we are bringing in these afghan refugees who we were told were all going to be translators and interpreters and these were our allies and we made them promises and apparently they are assault our service members and now we need a buddy system to lockdown our own base? >> it makes no sense. here we are using taxpayer dollars to erect these villages so we can help these refugees and now not only do we have to have the buddy system, they have to have security cameras come more lighting and this doesn't

especially with 13 servicemembers who died in terrorist attack, a lot of folks with mixed emotions. i've been hearing from veterans who have been focused on getting folks out of afghanistan and hitting afghan translators and allies -- now that the adrenaline is wearing down, some of that emotion can come flooding back. some of those problems, some of those things they have been pushing down can come to the surface. those folks know there are plenty of other people reaching out, they should reach out. there is help out there. host: but want to plant the life afghan vets is (202) 748-8000. if you are active or retired military, that is (202) 748-8001 . on that line, david from south dakota. you are first up. good morning. caller: my separation date from the service was march 1, 1963. but my grandson just got back from the middle east in the air force, and here my opinion. 15 of the 19 hijackers came from saudi arabia. one from egypt. one from lebanon. so why did we invade afghanistan and the first place? we should've never been there. we've been supporting, for the last 20 years, a co

the pentagon was attacked on 9/11, september 2001 and american servicemembers woke up the next morningwar, and they have been at war ever since. people in this building wear fatigues with enthey come to work because the military is at war, and the weird thing about it is they continue to come in every day, american troops continue to deploy. they've lost thousands and thousands of troop lives in both wars in afghanistan and iraq, in our forever wars and yet they keep reporting in to work every day, keep coming in and a mark of resilience when you reflect back on the last 20 years. the military has shown and now you see it's so weird, because ten years ago when barack obama was marking the ten-year anniversary, he could say a few laden. president biden can say we withdrew from afghanistan but it was painful, chaotic, there were lives lost and it's a mixed bag right now. >> helene is giving us, michael, a view on the ground at the pentagon. give us the view a little bit from 30,000 feet. jeh johnson was on this network this morning and he talked about the political divisions in this coun

we will never be able to untangle the chaotic force of events that led to the deaths of 13 servicemembers in kabul and the abandonment of an unknown number of american citizens and our afghan partners. madame president i ask unanimous consent that the letter be entered into the record. >> without objection. >> thank you. the fact finding mission to impress upon my democratic colleagues the importance of the words that we use to describe how we talk about them and frame their actions since daync number one of this administration the biden administration has used they are words to rehabilitate the taliban in the eyes of their radical base. the problem of course is the diplomatic calls for inclusivitynd and equality this supports allies with the taliban actually is. the taliban, like isis and al qaeda is a terrorist organization they rule by fear. forced marriage brutality against anyone who questions their regime. against anyone who disagrees with them. the way women and children are treated. now in my opinion from a lot of tennesseans i i have talked with since i have been home they feel t

. >> first and foremost my heart aches for the 13 fallen servicemembers as well as america's heart achesll. this is a bipartisan -- over 200 of my colleagues signed on to this bill so on a time of a lot of partisanship this is one effort that is very bipartisan and my hope come to the floor rather quickly and very quickly we can honor the 13 servicemembers with the congressional gold-medal. todd: whether it is the bipartisan nature of this or just the human part of this what could possibly lead nancy pelosi to do this? >> i am at a loss for words. i honestly don't know. i don't know what the harm is in entering these 13 fallen servicemembers who gave the ultimate sacrifice, to read those names into the record. there's got to be a reason. i don't know what it is. i am at a loss for words. heather: only thing i can think is in some way she is trying to stake the spotlight off of afghanistan. it is not working. the whole nation is talking about this because this is a national tragedy that has been unfolding before our eyes for the last three weeks and it continues. before we let you go, wan

to recognize do we not that in all volunteer forces in 2021, is going to cost a lot more for servicemembers than the force we had in let's say 1960 even adjusted for inflation because and again, kelly number one, the skills required in a modern mechanized technologically superior military are so great and really there's not any such thing as a grunt anymore as there was at one time. number two competing with the private sector or highly skilled people and number three and this is thepoint i know you understand and believe in this . in the old days we had a draft force basically of single men. now we have an all volunteer force of men and women who have families and families cost more money. i don't want anybody in congress to think that we're all of a sudden going to be able to cut in half the cost for a servicemember because we're probably not going to be able to do that . >> you're absolutely not and we shouldn't. we have to take into account the families and you recruit the soldier and you retain the family. the child care system is essential, it's official in the modern business world a

we are seeing spikes and calls, and in the 20 year war, to lose those 13 servicemembers as we did, and we deserve them. >> the pride and the country. this is how they get repaid with displays like yesterday. 9 minutes after the hour it was a lower, on november 1st to get vaccinated or the hired. the biden administration would crackdown, instead of illegal immigrants crossing the border. >> people busting tales and enforcing their lawn doing their job on the border, and no big deal. >> fox news learning florida is suing the biden administration accusing of violating its authority if not breaking the law, and cvp encountered 200,000 migrants at the border. >> in mexico a crisis as thousands fled processing centers in a soccer stadium. >> immigration activist says the biden administration's mixed messaging. >> mexican officials with the operation for refugees in an olympic-sized stadium but the national guard brought in to maintain order, just outside the stadium, a surprise visit from the director of the us-based immigration, and instrumental in organizing in 2019 blasting mexican offici

they and the brave servicemembers and diplomats ndinvolved deserve our thanks ad respect.he first began peace tax more than a decade ago. last year's agreement was negotiated by the trump administration. hr mcmaster donald trump's second national security advisor recently called the deal a surrender agreement with the taliban. that's the agreement of joe biden inherited when he became president and when it came time to face that responsibility, that is exactly what he said, i accept the responsibility for my decision. what a contrast with the previous president to accept responsibility for nothing. this president stood up and said i will make the decision and stand by it. i respect him for that. it's time for america to end this war and it's time for us now to try to find a way to bring this nation back together. i yield the floor. >> 20 years ago september 11, 2001, americans watched in horror as two planes struck the world trade center in new york

but yet on august 30 he had every american servicemember out and his own secretary of state said there- were still up to 200 american citizens trapped behind enemy lines. i believe we also have to evacuate the afghans who risk their lives by providing us with assistance. i believe the united states must never recognize the taliban as a legitimate government. the biden administration claimed they would not recognize any government that came to power by force in afghanistan. i find it very hard to trust anything that president biden says anymore. madam president let me conclude with the word about our heroes who served our country in afghanistan. over my time in the sun i visited afghanistan nine times. each time i go is to say thank you to the men and women in uniform who are there. i visit with wyoming national guard, a visit with wyoming regular military. our national guard, i've been deployed and may visited with them numerous times over a number of years. and to them and to all americans i say it no matter how disgraceful this withdrawal, no matter how incompetent i work commander-i

. >> the american people want and deserve accountability and we even have servicemembers being thrown in the brig for suggesting that was the public's faith in our institutions continues to erode because everyone in the dc bubble appears to have some sort of immunity on the basic standards the rest of america is expected to live by. >> for not taking accountability we know that but we are never going to know how many hours millie spent gathering to the media. >> you talk about borders for their peril? >> know. >> did you talk to philip rucker for their book and i fix it? >> yes. >> did you talk to michael bender for his book, frankly we did win this election, the inside story of how trump lost? >> yes. >> were you accurately represented in these books? >> i haven't read any of the books so i don't know. >> too busy reading can be. who believes he didn't read any of the books, even the pages where he was mentioned, he gave the interviews because you want to burnish his own reputation and protect his legacy for prosperity. these hearings, millie, austin, mckenzie look like football coac

i'm in the process of painting all 13 servicemembers from the incident in afghanistan as well.it is always on my mind. >> what the family members saying? >> they love it. they were overjoyed. it's been 20 years so they are very happy and loved ones weren't forgotten it won't be forgotten. >> the state of policing has changed since it was on 9/11 on that day when so many offices, first responders and regular civilians ran into those buildings as everyone else was running out. what does that day mean to you? >> a very special day to me and one of the reasons i chose that service, to join the army as a combat veteran in iraq as well as law enforcement officer. it has profound meaning to me. >> of all the portraits you've done i'm sure each one has significance in different ways, but what? personally with these 23? >> knowing some of these officers had children who grew up following in their footsteps and that means a lot especially to see them in their dress uniforms standing next to their father on the wall, couldn't have asked for a better turnout from that day. jillian: so beau

the top republican is revealing the suicide bomber who killed 13 us servicemembers was released from bagram air base. a republican on the house appropriations subcommittee on defense told fox news sources say the prisoner was released after the telegram took control of facilities, that attack was just a few days after he was apparently released from bagram and representative calvert said there were 7000 prisoners held their, calling them the worst of the terrorists and they believe the isis case suicide bomber was one of them. >> thanks. >> turning to the border crisis, panama officials warning a larger caravan of haitian migrants are heading to the us, the country is foreign minister warning as many as 60,000 migrants making their way through central america right now. >> hundreds of haitians are illegally crossing into mexico every day. >> this is called the coyote, the illegal crossing along the river separating mexico and guatemala. in the distance you can see the international bridge, that is the legal way to cross, this is the illegal way and as you look upriver you can see mig

which took the lives of 13 servicemembers on august 23rd. so is it true that suicide bombers attacked the kabul airport was a cia prisoner at the bog room air days that the taliban released after the biden administration left bog room in july? >> let me say a couple of things, first by the president selected me or nominated me to be the secretary of defense you have to certainly go back to the president ask him specifically why he did that but i'm sure it was not solely based upon with the oversight of the evacuation of iraq but i would point to there is a government in iraq right now that is holding elections, the united states military is in iraq. >> i have four seconds resume questionon? >> the gentle ladies time is expired. >> i will take the question for the record. >> thank you. >> i don't see eye to eye with generals and we have had disagreements but what was said earlier and then to get general million opportunity to respond and if not i will probably consider my questions. >> i will not tip off with an actual plan but to persuade an

lara: answer is yes look at the crowd with my father-in-law, how refreshing that were taken as servicemembertry and were propping them up and recognizing them and applauding them instead of vilifying them that we so sadly seen so many times by dividing a administration as we talked about previous segments is what america is all about getting behind one another new heard the usa chance, can we use a little more of the trump rally spirit right now in america. i hope we see them coming back in a rapid fashion going forward. charlie: i think you're right i think people would be delighted to get back to those. garbage during momentum the site during the rally of the 13 empty chairs at the rally on the front row, what was your reaction to that when you saw that. >> i think it's a phenomenal thing, wheezing college football teams, the atlanta braves not far from the rally did something similar they drape 13 flags overseas in the stadium the next day and honestly i hope this is a moment that as americans we say the former present of the united states is honoring these men and women who gave their li
