taliban post august 31st. jake sullivan went on tv this morning and said it again. i don't know what fantasy world model u.n. conference these people are living in. because of our surrender, because of the inept at this tied of our -- ineptitude of our withdrawal, we surrendered any leverage we had. we surrendered to a jihadist terrorist organization, one that we are entirely dependent upon now for security around the airport. and to trust them, to put all of our hopes on the largees of the taliban is a terrible plan. i don't think the president and his advisors have any conception of what is the taliban's interest. it's in -- these people don't want an invite to davos. it's in our interest to make the surrender as painful and humiliating as possible and to take american hostages, sell them to al-qaida or iran and use this to bring us to our knees in the future.
planned parenthood. i believe the best way to protect abortion care is to be clear that it is not a political issue, but a health care one. well, alex mcgil johnson will be stepping in as acting president. tammy bruce says the planned parenthood shakeup is par for the course and the latest example of liberal retaliation against anyone who doesn't complete b buy into the left's agenda. >> she wanted to find common ground with americans who care about health care and not have it be about the politics of abortion. now, that's another crime of course. this is the same circle firing squad that we saw unfold in the house. there is such a reservoir of bitter hatred because that's what they promote politically and it's time i think for the federal government especially to see planned parenthood not as a recipient of the largees and

see gas prices rise up, this fourth of july weekend people have to pay more, but we subsidize the oil industry, we don't subsidize some of these other industries struggling, so the question becomes why subsidize something that's so profitable. let me speak to something david was talking about. i think there has to be a notion of shared sacrifice. if we're talking seriously about decifit reduction, cutting entitlement spending, doing away with some of the programs that we have that help the most vulnerable in society, why wouldn't we say to those benefiting from the largees of america, you, too, have to share. martha: but they already pay. the top 5 percent of america already pays close to 40 percent of the tax burden in the entire country. >> but martha, you know that that -- in fact, it's 1 percent of the country that owns 50 percent of the assets, the wealth in the country. people who have so much should be able to make some shared sacrifice. let me finish the point. the tax rate right now is the lowest it's been in
