To go around including previous administrations for the last 20 years but that being said does that mean we need to ease up and not get every question answered the american people have about this because at the end of the day this comes down to our safety and our relationship with the rest of the world. >> any time there is a big problem that democrats are largely to blame for they want to spread the blame around and say this is something everyone needs to take responsibility for. they did it wi...

Possible, i think we should stop running around, i cant believe we left so many people behind. >> its easy to be level headed when nobodys chasing you with a machete. >> i understand that. >> on the ground in afghanistan, its a different reality for these people. theyre going to be hunted. >> yeah. >> ive seen it. this is what they do. >> thats the awful part of war. >> so you dont have a lot of time. and there has to be an urgency commensurate with the need. >> thats the awful part of war, and ...

Past democratic administrations have found theres not a lot they can do from the executive branch, federal level when it comes to abortion rights at the state level. there are legislative options on the table. saki wouldnt submit to supporting any piece of legislation. this white house has a packed legislative agenda with infrastructure, voting rights, police reform, gun reform, a number of issues they want to tackle. this is one more added to the pile of issues they try to get through in a very...

Exerting inappropriate political pressure on fda for doing this? they announced this push for boosters before the fda had said it was kosher. >> right. and thats the problem. the fda has a remarkable career group of world-class scientists and these are people that spend -- these are nonpolitical people. they spin through all kinds of administrations and they cant be rushed. i will say there is some suggestion that maybe the fda moved too slow, but theyre moving at their pace in the interest of c...

>> for a tonight do that speech today with such strong leadership, to end a war that essentially four administrations passed the ball to each other, and it has been very difficult to watch for 18 days for the first time maybe the nation is paying attention, to pile on this president for frankly a lot of politics. either it was maybe some progressives that were too quiet. it was republicans who supported this when donald trump thought it was okay. there was a lot of democrats that supported a sur...

What weve been doing there since is really unclear. >> atia, what im kind of thinking of is the biden doctrine which he enumerated in the speech that we dont do nation building any more. we only do things in our national interest. i asked this, does that mean all those years spent bringing the human rights to women and girls so that they can be educated and participate in society should not be done in the future situations by the u.s.? >> i mean, i think time will tell and different administrati...

Biden. they dont want biden to attend the memorial event commemorating 9/11 unless he declassifies american intelligence documents detailing what the government knew about 9/11 before 9/11. thats still classified. brett is one of those family members who joins us tonight he lost his father on 9/11. brent thanks so much for coming on. its hard to believe as we approach the 20 year anniversary, the us government through all the different administrations has continued to hide intel about what it kn...
