president trump and 2020 relied on the 2002 aumf for the strike against soleimani. what should the president and congress have done? you think -- do you think those are two examples question ? should the president have let baghdad fall? what congress should actually do in those circumstances. maybe we will start with representative meijer this time. rep. meijer: just briefly on the soleimani strike, the 2002 aumf was a secondary justification. president trump said under the article ii powers he has, he was executing them to prevent a strike. i think there is a lot of fear, this is some of the concern around applying the 2001 aumf against the islamic state in 2014. there is this concern that if we take away these authorizations, we will be tying the president's hands and putting our country at a disadvantage. with a clarification on the 2002 aumf the president has capabilities, every strike we have conducted in iraq, to my knowledge, especially against malicious under president trump -- against militias under president trump. the article ii self-defense is still ther

take a look. >> donald trump gave them what they wanted by killing soleimani. then the other element all bets are off on t the nuclear capaciy and ambitions. >> if the americans or trump thought taking out soleimani iran will recalculate its policies in the region, it's the opposite. they will double down. >> in the first 24 hours by taking out soleimani, trump made the situation worse. that's dangerous for our country. >> his decision to strike soleimani endangered u.s. troops and embassies everywhere. >> sean: donald trump could have followed the model of obama and biden and sent planes full of cash to bribe them, please be nice to us. they say down to the united states and chant death to america anyway and burn p our flag. 2 years later biden drones an innocent family and 7 kids and the journalistsrs barely yawn. the media is corrupt. they are. they have no intention of holding biden accountable. we witnessed the media. joe was in the media protection program. candidate protection program. they allowed him to hide in his basement for months. and not say a wo

you reportedly were very close to soleimani. do you still want to avenge his death or do you consider the matter closed? >> translator: from our viewpoint, the file, so to speak, will not be closed. those who were the perpetrators and carried out that act of terrorism against the national hero and the champion of iran in the fight against terrorism must be brought to justice. >> of course you know that he was considered a terrorist by the united states? that assassination was carried out -- that attack was carried out by the previous administration. >> translator: in my opinion, the individual or individuals who gave the initial command for this act of terror, they are the true terrorists. >> and on another subject as first reported by "the washington post" this morning, nbc news has confirmed reports that the cia has recalled its top officer from vienna for mismanagement including the handling of the so-called havana syndrome, according to my sources. vienna is considered one of the agency's most important posts, and the embass

but the world after beating soleimani al-baghdadi and associates and taking out the leader in yemen,hey feared your father-in-law, they respected your father-in-law and they believed your father-in-law. that's why no american died for 18 months. look, how do you -- look at the comparison. >> i mean, how do you even compare the two? they are polar opposites sean, you're right. you just heard from former secretary pompeo there. it was a completely different ball game when donald trump was in the white house. there is a reason that we could make deals with people like china. it's because they believed that donald trump meant what he said. there is a reason that people did not mess with the united states of america. it's because they knew if they did, we would retaliate. now, what do we have? we have a president who makes us look ridiculous on the world stage, is an embarrassment. can't get through a speech without a tell prompter. avoids the press, much different as well, if you compare that with donald trump who took on every single question he was asked at every opportunity every time

the threat from iran alsommande soleimani.he threat from iran also faces us overseas and particularly in iraq where shiite militants pose the most immediate threat. they have conducted increasing number of indirect fire and unmandate aerial systems attacks against u.s. facilities in the past several months with the objective of expelling u.s. forces from the country. ahead we'll continue to face threats that play out against the backdrop of global trends, including covid-19 pandemic, great power competition and disruptive effect fs o changing climate and rapidly evolving tech knowledge. more than 15 years after its establishment the national count terrorism center is uniquely positioned to lead in this environment. working alongside partners in the intelligence and fbi and dhs as we move into the next phase of our counterterrorism fight. we'll continue to discover, analyst and warn about ongoing future threats as par of a broader set of foreign policy challenges the united states will face in the 21st century and we will conti

very small salary that is 60000 which is tough to live on my work as a general consultant qassem soleimanir how much do you make from this group. >> 60000 spirit that is public information that's on the 990 we have to release that publicly we are getting the c3 status reestablish with the irs. >> . >> i believe he's talking about outside both sides of his mouth that january 6 was peaceful and then said look at the video and it shows a bunch of violence that police were being beaten by trump supporters using the american flag and fire extinguishers and bats and it is wrong of him to characterize the onjanuary 6 insurrectionist as peaceful when you can see the video you are showing right now shows how they were violent. >> marine, i can tell you there were bad actors on january 6 we are in agreement those people belong in prison for a long time but you believe somebody who never laid a finger on a police officer, walked through an open door took a few pictures and walked out of the building should be in solitary confinement without conviction for nine months? >> . >> come on. have some moral

he killed soleimani which i think was a good thing.tary in a fashion where we can be effective all over the globe. the deterioration of the military during the 0bama years was real. so, here's my point. whether you like trump or not, whether you believe it's trump's fault or biden�*s fault, here's where we're at as a world — the taliban are not reformed, they're not new. they have a view of the world out of sync with modern times. they're going to pose a lifestyle on the afghan people that i think is, it's gonna make us all sick to our stomach, but most importantly, they're going to give safe haven to al-qaeda who has ambitions to drive us out of the mid east writ large and attack us because of our way of life. we will be going back into afghanistan as he went back into iraq and syria. hang on. do you seriously think the united states will once again in, in a foreseeable future... yes. ..put troops back into afghanistan? we'll have to, we'll have to, because the threat will be so large. why did we go back to syria and iraq? why do we h

don't follow every dotted i, crossed t, i will obliterate you like i did he will al-baghdadi and soleimanilast year of the trump presidency, not one american died. when they were on the march and had 20% of afghanistan. why didn't they use the drone strategy that trump used to defeat the caliphate. judge jeanine: he's going to the u.n. to ask them to tell us how racist we are. sean:er american behind enemy lines that died, they have blood on their hands. they had all the time in the world. they could have pushed them back with drone strikes the way trump defeated the caliphate. they can get out every american safely while they had control. and we could have taken our military equipment home, our apache amendments, our v-17s, our munitions. judge jeanine: what makes me crazy is seeing the taliban wearing a united states uniform. of the united states. they are fools. a big thanks to my friend sean hannity as always. we love having him on. secretary of state blinken blasted over reports that afghan he evacuees are hiring ubers to leave american military bases. judge jeanine: explosive allegat

how could he possibly dictate to us and as you pointed out soleimani dictating to us that cutting dealsions to exempt them in this comes out, chances of this big government socialist the passing goes down and down and i don't think manchin is going to melvin cinema will join him and by the end next week we may see other democrats joining him. look at part of this bill that affect farming for example to destroy family farms because of estate tax changes and you will see a number of democrats in places like montana and new mexico who say i can't be for this. i will be surprised if it passes. >> they are looking at a dozen flows new taxes, 16 new types of revenue grabs they are looking at 2, quote, fund $3.5 trillion over 50 years, but that in and of itself is a huge and full on the shoulders of our economy. >> it is i may have to pass the debt ceiling, got to pass continuing resolution to keep the government open, ask members to walk a lot of planks and pelosi has run a dictatorship with great effectiveness but i have a hunch is breaking down and this coming week between the people who ar

every dotted i across t, every, and period, and he would've obliterated them like he did baghdadi, soleimanihate while joe biden and barack obama let them grow. >> ben carson used to talk about the idea that little kids had built in hypocrisy and antennas. and it does not take a kid to figure out what is happening here. you talked about it before inni your opening statement about the women that are being mistreated by the taliban. and the reality is that to the democrats and liberals usety gender equality as a political weapon when it is convenient. they are silent as hundreds of american women are in afghanistan stuck, and where is the state department, sean? they can figure out how many american women are in afghanistan, they know how many kids are in afghanistan. they know how many americans are in afghanistan, it's called passports, travel documents. k they know. but they don't want to tell us, because transparency equals responsibility. and responsibility, sean equals obviously accountability and it equals people in the voters in america knowing what the truth is about what joe biden di

when he took out soleimani, that changed the nature of the understanding of american military -- military will. when joe biden came in and scrapped that and said, we will do this for a political purpose, for a headline on september 11, it changed both the will of the afghani military and it also increased the will of the taliban terrorists. >> the afghan commanders wrote a piece for the new york times. this whole concept that they were incompetent, all of our passwords and equipment were taken. at the height of the hostage crisis, this was viewed that this was not accidental and the regime was given a list of things to check from china. and the greatest beneficiary is china, because they gained almost all the rare-earth. they gained their path. is anyone exploring the incompetence and very well organized and planned checklist on each of the payments for hunter? >> july 2, when bagram was back you late -- evacuated, we turned off the power and left, but we left a lot of material, weapons, ammunition, humvees, etc. that to me signaled that this was going to be a disastrous exit from afghani

>> trump smoke soleimani and outback gotti. there's no wake donald trump with but this happened.s from a president who's failed america. it's against the law to provide material assistance to a terrorist organization yet this presidentip gave $8590 worth of equipment to a terrorist organization. liz: thanks for joining us, come back soon. next, reports that the white house circulates afghan talking points to media allies about the fox pullout plus member of the 500 national security experts who endorsed joe biden for president? why are they silent now? you are watching the evening edit. edit. ♪♪ it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute? but what have you been doing for the last two hours? ...delegating? oh, good one. move your xfinity services without breaking a sweat. xfinity makes moving easy. go online to transfer your services in about a minute. get started today. and there you have it— -woah. wireless on the most reliable network nationwide. wow!

david: and we still got soleimani, by the way. general kellogg, thank you so many for coming in. that's the message from two dozen attorneys general to president biden. how soon can the supreme court overturn a federal mandate that even the president was calling unconstitutional before he implemented it. implemented it. we'll speak to the attorney yeah, i mean the thing is, people like geico because it's just easy. bundling for example. you've got car insurance here. and home insurance here. why not... schuuuuzp.. put them together. save even more. some things are just better together, aren't they? like tea and crumpets. but you wouldn't bundle just anything. like, say... a porcupine in a balloon factory. no. that'd be a mess. i mean for starters, porcupines are famously no good in a team setting. geico. save even more when bundle home and car insurance. incomparable design makes it beautiful. geico. state of the art technology makes it brilliant. the lexus nx. experience the crossover in its most visionary form. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. growing up in a little red

as day, you reminded them about killing baghdadi and his associates, reminded them about killing soleimanidestroyed. you reminded him about killing the al qaeda leader in yemen, and that you said that if they didn't follow -- these are their words -- every i, every t crossed, every i dotted, every comma and period, that you would obliterate them and use every means available to you to do that, and you brought this up at the beginning and numerous times throughout the process. also that your deal was conditions on the ground based, and it included you keeping control of bagram air force base. can you tell us first about the call, and then the deal? >> well, it was a tough call, and it started out by saying they will be hit harder than any country has ever been hit in the history of the world, if they do anything, and in particular kill our soldiers or even try to kill our soldiers. and even biden admitted today that the reason they didn't kill any soldiers and we haven't lost soldiers in many, many months because of the agreement that we set, because i wanted to get out. i wish we never wen

we got soleimani, baghdadi, we went after the syrian targets when they used nerve gas.wasn't afraid to use aggressive action when we needed to. biden hasn't done that. his entire national security team has proved they aren't willing to do that. i have real concerns and questions about us and the taliban supporting us in doing anything. they'll do what they want to do, not what we want to do. that's the reason i go back to what senator graham said about using force. it may be required. the question is will we do it? i'm not -- somebody will have to convince me and show me we're willing to do it and i just don't see it. >> you wonder what iran thinks all the dominoes fall and nothing, right? what north korea thinks when they look at these situations. they're sending signals to the global community about what the stature is of the administration right now and whether or not they're willing to lean in on some of these situations. general kellogg. always good to see you. as you know there is major pushback to vaccine mandates and cities may have to make do with fewer firefig

before he discussed any deal with the taliban, warned them, i will obliterate you, like he did with soleimani and the caliphate in yemen. i'll obliterate you. do you understand? it wasd? predicated on that numr one. number two, keeping the air force base. number three, predicated on conditions on the ground if they were warranted. as the taliban made their march and started securing larger and larger geographical areas in afghanistan why didn't joe brush them back? it would have taken a few drone strikes, he would have been successful, just follow the trump model. why didn't he do that and why did he not withdraw everybody while we haddr control of kabul? can you answer that question? >> i think, sean, the answer, we can see in the phone call that has been reported on july 23 between president -- from afghanistan and president biden, and in that phone call joe biden emphasized the fact that his only priority was perceptions. he wanted ghany to stage an event with some important afghans and military figurehead to convince the international community that things were going well in afghanistan,

just like the iranian terrorists soleimani. if they marched on kabul while americans were still all over the country, they knew they would be obliterated just like they did. the taliban knew this and for 18 months, that's right, over a year, when donald trump, his last year in office, not a single, solitary american was killed inside of afghanistan. so, make no mistake, and watchaf that time line.. we could have gotten out in april, may, june, july, and we didn't do it. and now we know he knew. now we know he wanted to createa a false facade. under no circumstances would donald trump have abandoned bagram air force base while any citizen was inside the country in fact his plan was to keep it in perpetuity. we built it we owned it. that's what he said to me, only an idiot would abandon that base. now our partners our afgan allies are all caught, hostages caught behind enemy lines, al qaeda and isis are on the rise and the taliban that organization that participated and was a safe haven into the lead up tori the nine 11 attacks h

calm and assured when he makes his decisions if you don't believe me think about what we did was soleimanind what we did with baghdadi and what we did with isis and what we did with the syrian strikes when they use tear gas the president made those hard decisions at all times. i think billy was saying i'm a little bit concerned about the situation and i'll reach out tor the chinese on my own to tell them don't worry about it a it's all under control he was way out of line for doingng that. if those reports were true, it's a caveat if those reports were true and they should not be joint chief of staff. >> why was he talking to nancy pelosi. >> trump said i was never going to attack china. it makes d.c. look like bonkers, does anybody seriously believe trump was going to attack china. >> i'm sure the former president gets ma'am if i said this but president trump was a reluctant lawyer and i say that with great admiration as a former military guy, he would not use military force or commit many women to battle unless he was assured you were going to get the job done and i really admire that in

he would blow you to smithereens just like he did the caliphate and isis, just like he did with soleimani and baghdadi and associates, and the al qaeda leader in yemen. they believed he would do it. joe and kamala, they told these migrants to come. joe ended catch and release, he abolished trump's stay mexico policy, stopped border wall construction. yep, since joe has been president come over a million five the legal immigrant support across the border during biden's first unfulfilled year in office, still more time to go. most of them have been admitted to the u.s., processed, no covid testing, no vaccine mandates, no background checks, no radical associations, there is no means test to see if they will be able to financially take care of themselves and not be a burden to the american people. and biden, on top of all of that, my kids would get in trouble, not usually for what they did, but if they lied about it. biden is now lying to the american people every day. and he is definitely not deporting them. that part we know. it is one big lie. border live is "the new york post" put it. th

>> trump smoked soleimani. trump smoked al baghdadi. no way donald trump would let this happen. has failed america. think about it this way, liz, it is against the law to provide material assistance to a terrorist organization yet this president just gave $85 billion worth of equipment to a terrorist organization. elizabeth: okay. congressman, mark green, thanks for joining us. come back soon. >> thanks. elizabeth: up next sean duffy joins us that the white house is circulating afghan talking points to media allies about the botched pullout. you remember the 500 security experts who endorsed joe biden for president? why are they silent now? you're watching "the evening edit". i mean, put it this way. if i told you i'd been jarring raspberry preserves for 85 years, what would you think? (humming) well, at first you'd be like, "that has gotta be some scrumptious jam!" (humming) and then you'd think, "he looks fantastic! i must know his skin care routine." geico. saving people money for 85 years. beg your pardon. in 2016, i was working at the amazon warehouse when my brother passed

real quick, kristin this morning i woke up and bill mallugian qassem soleimani reporting from fox, thee was flying at the border was in harms way could be a dangerous situation, and i'm thinking this is clearly a push against freedom of speech , freedom of the press, just your thoughts on something like that happening. >> oh, i mean, can you imagine if something like that happened during the trump adminitration? it be all we would read about for weeks and weeks and weeks on every mainstream outlet. this is crazy what's going on down on the border. i'm in texas. i can tell you that even with the mainstream media reporting its reporting is not as bad as it really is down at the border. we basically have a full blown crisis down there, and no one is in charge to actually step up and fix this problem. it is terrifying and now the media probably won't even be able to get access to photos. charles: yeah, it's a shame. kristin, beverly its been too long thank you both very much folks we'll be right back. >> thank you. zero-commission trades for online u.s. stocks and etfs. and a commitment to

if you don't believe me, think about what we did with soleimani, think about what we did with baghdadithink about what we did with isis, what we did with the syrian strikes when they used nerve gas. the president made the hard decisions at all times. milley said i'm concerned about the situation here, i reach out to the chinese on my own, tell them don't worry about it, it is all under control. he was way out of line doing it, if the reports are true, again a caveat, if the reports are true, then he should not be chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. elizabeth: we hear you. why was he talking to nancy pelosi at all? trump said, i was never going to attack china. why, does anybody, it makes d.c. look like bonkers, like they're nuts down there. does anybody really seriously believe trump was going to attack china? >> now look, liz, i'm sure the former president will get mad, will get mad if i said this, president trump was a reluctant warrior. i say that with great admiration as a former mill dairy guy. he would not use military force or commit american american men and women to battle

they believed it when he said he would obliterate them like he did the caliphate, like he did soleimani, located baghdadi and associates and the al qaeda leader in yemen. joe biden, he's being rolled by his radical socialist party and they call the shots. he answers to them, he does what they say. if they get their way, america will never be the same again. here with more, former secretary of state, mike pompeo. you know, i'm watching the attacks come in, and they say this is the trump plan. i've asked you this question before. the trump plan, correct me if i'm wrong, was predicate at first and foremost on obliterating the taliban. donald trump said to the head of the taliban if we get an agreement and you don't abide by it, i will let you finish the conversation. >> sean, it's good to be with you. we certainly said that and then we executed it when the taliban behaved in ways that were inconsistent with protecting america, our interest in afghanistan or elsewhere. them, we used american power to make sure that our model of deterrence would work. we had a real plan on how to get our tro

economic sanctions was working, and he took decisive action with his strike against former irgc head soleimani. so, my friends, i'm afraid we'll pay cash for promises from the iranian leadership that will never be kept. iran has blood on their hands, propping up assad in syria, the death of american troops in iraq, and recently even blatantly attempting kidnaping in new york city. as a result, i rezoe deuced my -- reintroduced my legislation, the holding iranian leaders accountable act. this bipartisan bill with my friend, mr. lawson of florida, would make public the funds obtained in illegal or corrupt manner by iran's authoritarian leaders. for more than four decades, the people of iran have lived under the brutal dictatorship of the ayatollahs. the heads of the islamic revolutionary guard corps have all profited, madam speaker, at the expense of the struggling iranian people. by combining publicly available information with u.s. intelligence that can be made public, this legislation will provide a valuable window into the wealth-making of iran's corrupt officials and limit their financial h

soleimani ask you if you do trust these what is your method to address accuracy in the form of data using your products in the frequency of -- mr. don he would about you? >> thank you, congresswoman. we track that was in two ways. . one is, we look at all of the disputes that are sent in from consumers. and we determine what they cause of the error was. and as miss anderson pointed out, we can get you that by category. so we can follow up. and report that data to you. the other way that we track it is looking at wet data furnishers provide us and error rates by data furnishers. so if we find that we are getting disputes from consumers at a higher concentration from a particular furnisher, we work with them to try and correct it. if it needs to be corrected. we have the same process. we will prevent that data furniture from reporting data from us -- >> let me ask, do you feel a new broad based analysis of consumer credit reports, should be -- [inaudible] . >> please allow me to answer. we received ms. wu and we will have to move on. the timing that we have is that the time is up at this ti

the threat from iran alsommande soleimani. the threat from iran also faces us overseas and particularly in iraq where shiite militants pose the most immediate threat. they have conducted increasing number of indirect fire and unmandate aerial systems attacks against u.s. facilities in the past several months with the objective of expelling u.s. forces from the country. ahead we'll continue to face threats that play out against the backdrop of global trends, including covid-19 pandemic, great power competition and disruptive effect fs o changing climate and rapidly evolving tech knowledge. more than 15 years after its establishment the national count terrorism center is uniquely positioned to lead in this environment. working alongside partners in the intelligence and fbi and dhs as we move into the next phase of our counterterrorism fight. we'll continue to discover, analyst and warn about ongoing future threats as par of a broader set of foreign policy challenges the united states will face in the 21st century and we will con

bin laden, soleimani, baghdadi. everybody likes those. a lot of the people who think we shouldn't be anywhere in the world except on our own shores say see, we can just go do that kind of stuff and we don't have to have a forward presence? i suggest you figure out what you know what you are talking about. the only reason we were able to do those things because they were forward deplayed. networks in place and intelligence collection and people on the ground forward stage so they could do those missions. we have no ability to do that anymore. no ability to keep americans safe. here is what makes me mad about that press conference. joe biden isn't at it. the department of defense is trying to take orders. they are taking orders. should they have pushed back more? i wish they had. right now they're taking orders and not throwing their boss under the bus when that's what they should be doing. >> bill: nancy pelosi has a press conference later today to talk about build back better. you can see the pivot that's already underway in this administ

maybe some judge in the 9th circuit ordered donald trump to bring qasem soleimani back to life and to apologize for killing iran's terrorist mastermind. or look at some of the cases on the shadow docket, which you had radical governors in places like nevada, in california, who would block christians from going to church to worship god while they allowed liquor stores, marijuana shops, and casinos to stay open. i'm not saying those things should have been closed. i'm saying they all should have been open to include churches where people of faith could go worship and now look what liberals want to happen on the shadow docket. they want the supreme court to enjoin cases in which the lawyers in the lawsuit can't even find a proper defendant to be sued. so i know our democratic friends think this shadow docket is something extraordinary and novel and unprecedented. maybe it's the case that the lawsuits are so frivolous that they don't even merit an oral argument and full briefing, or maybe this entire hearing distract from the radical law that just passed the house of representatives last

perform the program soleimani goes to property owners to settle back that so families can stay in their homes. greek must to make it easier for property owners to participate on behalf of renters. we have grantees to move faster. accepting both application, it seems like democrats in washington forgot the purpose of the program to pay back rent. this isn't difficult. to get the proper back on track, solutions targeted and tied to covid but the bill put forward by democrats would only make things worse, not better. instead of solving problems today, there will be more finger-pointing at the previous administration, democrats find and more proposals in power in the five demonstration held accountable, typical of my democrat friends. this is in our bill and get a fair shake in the committee to this morning, the renter protection act and i encourage every member to sign on to. i look forward to the panel by yelled back. >> much of what the ranking member is talking about needs to be done. mr. cleaver, you are recognized for one minute. i can't hear you. please unmute. >> i apologize. the le

a few weeks before that we had taken down kassem soleimani.iden administration, continues to be missing, was a credible threat of the use of force. under our administration, the taliban knew the president meant business. americans were not going to be harmed. they were going to work with the government. they were not going to work with terrorists. but now here we are effectively following a surrender to the taliban, a disgraceful withdrawal in the middle of night from bagram air force base without ever telling our allies. it just never should have happened. and all the happy talk by this administration isn't going to change that. that being said, i want everyone to know because i was on capitol hill on september the 11th. i watched now nearly 6 million americans step forward in the last 20 years to put on the uniform. i have stood at the graveside with family members whose loved ones defending our freedom. nothing of the catastrophic with drawl draw afghanistan over the last month takes away one iota from the extraordinary contributions of our

part of the political reality of the situation but the man who crushed isis and the man who killed soleimaniere would've been but it never would've been on the taliban terms and allowing gitmo traded terrorist to be the future leaders of afghanistan which they are now another doozy of a deal made under the obama biden administration, it would not have happened that way. that's what yesterday as well donald trump was not at the ceremony mast up like everybody else, but he did make a visit to first responders and law enforcement in new the reality of how we would handled afghanistan in her enemies the way he stared them down and give them no quarters is the reason why cops and first responders and military frankly respect and love him so much. were gonna play a piece of the sound of the conversation he had with police officers and said please run again mr. president but also asking them questions candidly that you didn't see joe biden with first responders talking and chatting and taking photos but you saw that from donald trump yesterday. here's a portion of that exchange. >> if you elected a
