china hated every second of it and pelosi is calling her trip a defense of democracy. beijing is calling it a provocation. china s military is poised for live fire drills in taiwan s water and airspace in the coming days. here is national security council spokesman john kirby. this is exactly what we would expect the chinese to do in the wake of or even during speaker pelosi s trip. this is pretty much the playbook we expected and we ll be watching to see how they develop. again, we urge beijing not to escalate the tensions. there is no reason to. nothing about speaker pelosi s trip was inconsistent with our longstanding approach to china and supporting taiwan s self-defense. harris: we can hear from admiral kirby but apparently not from president biden who initially pushed back on pelosi going there in the first place. he didn t want her to go. both republicans and democrats
california deserves better. they know that. san francisco, that entire regime. these are things where people are supposed to inherit these offices or there is a royalty of the country. far from it. the worst among us, broken people, they do things because they can. we ve heard that before and it is time that we say enough is enough. harris: every time i hear you talk like that it reminds me of all the reasons you gave for leaving the democratic party. that s right. harris: thank you. the white house is pushing back on claims that afghanistan is once again becoming a safe haven for terrorists. well, it s obvious. the issue rearing its ugly head after the u.s. took out al qaeda leader al-zawahiri in kabul. plus how far china will take its military aggression in retaliation for nancy pelosi s taiwan trip. we don t live in a risk-free world. based on my meetings in taipei with the president and others there is a lot of question
beijing not to turn this into a crisis. harris, speaker pelosi we now see has arrived in south korea. she goes to tokyo. both places are perilously close to and threatened by by jaing. back to you. harris: thank you very much. unlikely support for the house speaker, some of her republican colleagues wholeheartedly are applauding this trip. to use four words in a row that i haven t used in this way before and those four words are speaker pelosi was right. i have think it s important the speaker did go to taiwan. what it underscores i think is the mistake the president made in getting into reprimanding the speaker publicly. i think he should have said nothing about it. harris: want to know where more chill is coming from? those proper glesives.
far left senators bernie senators and warren waving off questions on the trip. kevin mccarthy, house minority leader, top republican in the house from the great state of california is in focus now and on the mezzanine in person with me. great to see you. great to be here. my first time in person. harris: there we go. let s start with this aggression from china. whether any of this is surprising and the fact that it is so aggressive compared with where we have been with them recently. there are a number of reasons for that. the first one is biden administration have stayed silent. they should have had a strong statement for speakers of the house or members of congress can go anywhere they want to go. china can t dictate it. xi has his own issues domestically. he grabbed on opportunity here. how do you unite your country?
