Morning in the press. very harsh coverage. call it humiliating for the president, severe setback, he cant govern his own party, much less come to bipartisan agreement. so, you know, i think his presidency is on the line now. if he come out of this, they will go on from strength to strength. if they fail to pull it off, hes going to pay a huge price politically. but let me just say one other thing, there is some good news around the corner in your reporting earlier today, suggesting that. that is...

Progressives are. so, the definitions have changed a lot. she has a more unruly conference. but, to your question is well, i dont think time is on their side. i think big bills like this do have multiple life cycles they come and pass. but bidens numbers have continued to deteriorate ever since the debacle in afghanistan and the surrender there. and so members are back in their district, swing districts, the closer you get to the midterm elections they are saying why am i going to risk my career...

♪ ♪ >> president biden: again, i will include -- this is a process, and its going to be up and down. thats why i dont look at the polls. not a joke. >> laura: for his sake, i hope he is telling the truth, because poll after poll over the past two months has shown that america is losing faith in president biden, and contrary to the white house is wishful thinking, it isnt temporary, and that is only because of the horrifying afghanistan debacle. jobless claims are up for the third straight we...

And general milley emphasized that the collapse of the government and the afghan security forces could go a lot faster than anybody anticipates. so the president had to embrace all of that and still go forward and make this decision which turned out to be a calamity because now we have a terrorist organization running a country in southern asia and it will be an epicenter for growth of terrorism for sure. pete: how often is it that you get on the record military officials so quickly after someth...

Pete: congressman, the debacle. some did and wont. lieutenant colonel in the marine corps who happened to speak out and wanted to demand accountability. if you have any sense that the administration has a grasp on the reverbiating effects of how terribly this was handled? >> no, absolutely not. they are not going to get any type of repercussions for their decisions until we take the house back in 2022 and we can provide oversight. the democrats in congress arent going to provide oversight on wha...

On them. meaning those in his party who dont agree with him. this is really something that is going back and forth now and i mentioned performance theater. it is definitely theater. will the president get what he wants in the end? democrats choosing to fight with each other. republicans are unified and going on the offense now and remember, were ticking toward the mid-terms. it is all about momentum. during a news conference gop lawmakers called out president bidens multiple ciels east. -- crise...

Do it is really a state department call. >> harris: you know during the hours of "the faulkner focus" this week that we saw two days running top generals testifying contradicting the presidents claims on the afghanistan withdrawal debacle and the situation on the ground there now. the president in august claimed that no one advised him to maintain a troop presence in afghanistan. white house press secretary jen psaki claimed the generals were split whether to keep troops on the ground and defend...

Evacuation. jillian: miller meeks, thank you for being here. we appreciate your time. can you tell me what stood out to you of the last two days? >> well, i think what really stood out is what was apparent to us throughout this process in afghanistan and im a 24-year military veteran, served in the army. was that we know that this evacuation was conducted by the state department, the secretary of state and, yet, we didnt have the military experience gave advice but didnt stand their ground. so t...

Our people home safely? because joe biden says we have all the leverage. i dont see it. >> yeah, sean, we gave up all her leverage when we ran out, when we abandoned and created this debacle, we not only gave of our leverage, but 13 american lives as well. there are lots of americans were working to help get their fellow comrades home from behind enemy lines. i hear from folks nearly every day, if try to help as i can as well. we are fighting our own government. we are working to try and work ar...

Looking at a situation where our enemies, terrorists, are building back better. its frightening but it fits. >> yes, it does fit, harris. it makes it all the more sad. we have lost so many military members, civilians overseas in afghanistan in the global war on terror and the biden administration wants to pretend that this did not happen. that this was an extraordinary success, and i beg to differ, mr. president. i think the families of the fallen beg to differ. those civilians that have engaged...
