mike pompeo is going to cut this deal with the taliban. mike pompeo and donald trump are the two biggest traders. they need to be looked at. host: in altoona, pennsylvania. every time somebody is in power, other party blames the other party. it started with bush. he went into afghanistan with a purpose and mission to get bin laden. then we got switched to iraq because we didn't want to have his family, and especially cheney not getting hussein right away. i believe part of it on the asking -- i blame part of it on the afghan military. we gave their fighters all this money, and we decided we didn't want to pay them anymore, we want to get out. maybe we botch the whole thing. but this is from bush to biden, and biden inherited what trump negotiated. if we would stop the blame game and start looking at where the failure was, what the failure was, the people of afghanistan don't want to fight. if you want freedom, you have to fight. they did not want to fight because we were not paying them anymore. we have to stop politicians complaining abou

interests as we just heard from mike pompeo. joining me right now house minority leader kevin mccarthy, he's demanding that the gang of 8 receive classified briefing on the biden administration's plan to evacuate american citizens out of afghanistan. congressman, good to see you. thanks very much for being here. have you seen that plan yet? >> no and this is not what happens when you leave. i have heard the taliban has more blackhawk helicopters than australia. can you imagine that? even if the taliban cannot learn to fly those, where would they go? they will go in hands of iran and russia. they have built military. imagine iran will be in there collecting drones and missiles and this has set us back decades and for democrats to bring us back into congress to try to pass another new election law that would ban -- unconstitutional but ban id voting to spend $5 trillion, the only focus of this congress or this administration would be to get every single american out but when you listen to secretary of state and secretary of defens

caller: i think donald trump and mike pompeo. trump with the taliban, they negotiated with terrorists but did not negotiate with the afghan government. show trump talking to the man who is now running the taliban. it was negotiating with terrorists. all of this was a set up. the withdrawals -- withdrawal date was set two months after joe biden got out of office because the taliban had already taken over afghanistan when joe biden took office. this was a set up. host: president joe biden, not afraid to point the finger back at the trump administration in the speech he gave monday about the situation in afghanistan. this is what he said monday. [video clip] >> when i came to office, i inherited a deal president trump negotiated with the taliban. under his agreement, u.s. forces would be out of afghanistan by may 1, 2021. just a little over three months after i took office. u.s. forces had already drawn down during the trump administration from roughly 15,500 american forces to 2500 troops in the country. the taliban was at its stro

as i said, mike pompeo will be here soon. and breaking moments ago, a bomb shell in the world health organizations inconclusive investigation into covid origins. the scientist leading that investigation said china did pressure their organization to leave out the lab leak theory and discuss basically the phraseology that they were comfortable with and not comfortable with in that regard. the state department, our state department's former lead investigator in to covid origins under secretary pompeo, dr. david asher responds to what we're now learning about this huge story and to the shocking prediction as well from robert redfield who we spoke with here on "the story" who believes that because it's an engineered virus in the first place, the variants are super charged. >> sadly i'm going to predict in two, three, four months, we'll have another variant and that variant will be more infectious than the delta variant. that's how this evolution is taking place. this virus got a jump start by being one of the most infectious in hu

here is mike pompeo and former secretary of state. this is terrifying to me. you do get the sense that there are some democrats who wish this was playing out the same way in the united states. >> laura, thanks for having me on. it would be a mistake to try what you just described happening in germany. it makes no sense for the united states. there is scant evidence these lockdowns do good and they do an enormous amount of damage to the economy and the mental health of the people that live there. when i see democrats in washington, d.c. who want to head down that path and go back to lockdowns and the things that we tried. 15 days to stop the spread want the answer was to give people good information and truthful information and let them make their own decisions. the work our administration did to develop warp speed delivered good outcomes. >> laura: these are allies. biden is lavishing praise on them. they have a great new relationship. this is like china and hong kong. >> everything about the biden administration demonstrated it wants to look more like europe.

here is mike pompeo and mister secretary, great to see you tonight. this is terrifying to me personally but you do get the sense that there are some democrats who wish this was playing out the same way in the united states. >> it would be an enormous mistake to try anything remotely like what you just described in germany to go to the lockdowns happening in other countries across the world would make no sense for the united states, this can't evidence these lockdowns do a lot of good and they do an enormous a lot of damage to the economy and the mental health of people that live there. when i see democrat governors and even democrats in washington dc who want to head down that path and go back to the kind of things we tried, 15 days to stop the spread, the right information was to give truthful information and let them make their own decisions for themselves in the work the administration did to develop or speed and the vaccines. jillian: these are our allies, our bonded allies, president biden is lavishing praise on them, great new relationship. chin

that is completely the opposite of what mike pompeo negotiated. there is a lot of things in the negotiation. the first of all how you do a successful negotiation? you walk in from a position of strength. so then under president trumps watch so whenever pompeo came into the room they knew he was part of the team who ways ahead of the rg on —- eight ka the world's biggest terrorist and he said to them multiple times if you touch one american it is your head i am paraphrasing but not really. so when it comes to negotiation there is a lot of things so that they have to break with al qaeda and another was not that they would militarily take over the country but what we set forth the taliban had to come to the negotiating table with the government of afghanistan, women, civil society, a political reconciliation on —- reconciliation. the biden only handed the negotiations they could not get to that political reconciliation. so to pretend the team had the same deal going on that president trump and mike pompeo had going on is a lie and a totally diffe

ros: secretary of state mike pompeo called it the best opportunity for peace in a generation. the deal between the taliban and the u.s. was done. note, also present was the taliban chief was the taliban official who signed the deal. he had been released from a pakistani jail at the request of the u.s., and this is at was in the deal. first of all, input a date on the u.s. departure. there would be a full withdrawal by may 2021 of u.s. forces, and the taliban cap to its side of things, and the date was pushed back to august by the bite administration, but the deal said exactly when the americans would exit. in return, the taliban made a number of agreements, agreeing to not attack u.s. personnel, to restrict any activity that would threaten the u.s., including terror attacks abroad. there was a sanction that said the taliban would not allow any of its members or other groups, including al qaeda, to use the soil of afghanistan to threaten the security of the u.s. and its allies. in return, the taliban got the release of thousands of fighters who were in prison. here is a text of

mike pompeo meets with the taliban and tries to negotiate something. by the way, they end up getting rolled harder than-- almost as as neville chamberlain because they knew what the outcome was. they set this up to fail but always, of course, joe biden could have easily turned this around and instead used it as the excuse to get out. both parties have failed the american people. it can't continue. it particularly can't continue with just pointing fingers while america is embarrassed in front of the world. >> you mentioned the efforts that you are undertaking and many other veterans are joining you in this as well, trying to get afghans, their friends, ou of afghanistan. you are seeing in your party what appears to be a trend for some politicians seeing opportunity in this. they're painting afghan refugees as invaders. you know, there are undertones even of racism here. what is your message to people in your party who are doing that? >> for sure. look, here is the thing. most republican members of congress, for instance, i think when we talked about doi

let's bring in former secretary of state, mike pompeo. a fox news contributor. secretary, good to see you as always. >> great to be with you. >> martha: a very tough thing to watch. you hear from the u.n. representative of afghanistan. it's painful to watch. afghan children are bearing the brunt of this violence. so i'm going to ask you the same question this lucas asked john kirby. are you surprised at the speed with which this has happened? >> yes, i'm a little surprised. we spent 20 years building the forces there, giving them weapons, all the skill sets that they need. it's their time. everyone knew this day would come. eventually the security forces had to stand up to protect their own, their children, their women, their nation. i hope they're able to regroup. i hope president ghani can lead them forward. our mission was set -- we're a month short of the attacks in new york city. our mission set was two fold. one was to make sure that we took out al-quaida and destroyed it and second to make sure that something like what happened in new york that day could

his secretary of state, mike pompeo sat down with the taliban in qatar after cooler heads prevented trump from inviting the taliban to camp david for talks. he agreed to the release of some 5,000 prisoners and relaxed sanctions on taliban officials. many of those released prisoners went right back to the battlefield to fight for the taliban, and "the washington post" reports that the deal left afghan soldiers demoralized, and after biden announced his plans for withdrawal, basically picking up the trump time line and extending it by a few months, trump said that getting out of afghanistan is a wonderful and positive thing to do though he's now deleted that from his web site. at the time in april of this year, the taliban already controlled or were contesting up to half of the country. joining me now is independent journalist, bobby ghosh, and jonathan lemire, white house reporter for the "washington post." you and i were texting and you sent an article you had written in 2019 in which it sounded like you could have written it this weekend. you talked about the collapse of the war strategy

and joining us now, former secretary of state mike pompeo. mr. secretary, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> secretary pompeo: chris, thanks for having me on this morning. >> chris: how dire is the situation in afghanistan as we talk today? is a full taliban takeover of the country now inevitable? >> secretary pompeo: well, chris, it certainly looks like it. it looks like the biden demonstration has just failed in its execution of its own plan. it looks like they are now trying to get folks out. this remind me of when we have seen previous of ministrations allow embassies to be overrun, it's starting to feel that way. it also looks like there's a bit of panic having to reinsert soldiers to get them out. the plan should have been, much like we had, that we would have an orderly condition space wait to think about how to draw down our forces there. we actually delivered on that promise. i hope we get these folks out. i hope they will bring the airpower. they should go crush these taliban who are surrounding kabul. we should do it with american a

you have secretary of state mike pompeo. laura: we do. i'm curious what he has to say about what the state department said, conditions for recognizing the new afghan government. >> the taliban fears pompeo, they feared it trump, they believe both of them. that's not the case anymore. laura: great show tonight. i'm laura ingraham, the establishment has no clothes, that the focus of the angle. the collapse of afghanistan represents another catastrophic failure of our political establishment other examples include the collapse of the southern border and before that the collapse of our once unrivaled manufacturing base. they keep doubling down on failure insisting if they have a few more years they could make americans understand why their policies are smart and proper and to distract the public from their own failures these old packs do their best to stir up phony crises. >> is their influence by the russians? >> his behavior doesn't done much to all a that concern. >> my warning training is an intelligence professional, i've seen in terms o

pompeo, also a former cia director, and i had your chief of staff mark meadows on my radio show. they have both been on this television show. and they went into great detail about what your plan was, and maybe the biden administration, democrats look to released transcripts of calls -- i would love this one to be released -- that in no uncertain terms, not once but on numerous occasions, but before any negotiation began, that you got on the phone with the leader of the taliban and you made it as clear as day, you reminded them about killing baghdadi and his associates, reminded them about killing soleimani, and he reminded him about the caliphate that you destroyed. you reminded him about killing the al qaeda leader in yemen, and that you said that if they didn't follow -- these are there words -- every eye, every tea 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 base

. >> you are talking about mike pompeo? >> yes. this collapse goes back to the capitulation agreement of 2020. the taliban didn't defeat us. we defeated ourselves. what's worse is we threw the afghans under the bus on our way out. >> of course, here are the images from 2020 of then secretary of state mike pompeo and the man now leading the taliban after the trump administration helped release him from prison. joining me now to talk about this and the president's address is republican congressman darrell issa of california. this was more than just one president's war, as you understand. what is your response to what president biden just said a few minutes ago and doesn't former president trump shoulder some of the blame in all of this? he cut this deal with the taliban. of course, biden embraced it and you and other republicans up on capitol hill were applauding this pull out of afghanistan months ago. the plans for it months ago. what do you say now? >> well, first of all, i would have left bagram air base open. i never applauded t

mike pompeo, brilliant guy, and many others worked on it endlessly. meetings with the taliban, of course you have to meet with the taliban. they are the ones who are negotiating with. i spoke on numerous occasions to the head of the taliban and we had very strong conversation. i told him up front, i said, look at, before we start, let me just tell you right now that if anything happens to americans or any body else or if you ever come over to our land, we will hit you with a force that no country has ever been hit with before. a force so great to that you won't even believe it and cure of village and we know where it is, and i named it will be the first one. >> sean: mr. president, i want to interrupt, you said this to who? >> to mullah bar adar who is probably the top person, nobody knows who the top person is, but i would say that that is probably the top person and it seems to be -- that's the way it is rolling right now. but i had a very strong conversation, i also had a good conversation with him, we talked after that, that was the primary point

joining us now with more, former secretary of state mike pompeo. yi know you have plenty of contacts in the region. out what without asking specific questions i want you to give your best assistance of the situation on the ground and what we might need to do to get our fellow americans and allies out safely. >> he pretty much catalogued the chaos and the tragedy of this past six days that we now have credit lines. i haven't heard a single thing from him today, still no thing about giving component to the area i spoke a lot. >> they are frightened by the american co-ops that we have power that we have frankly collects how man for play. i didn't hear a single thing that would frighten a singleou tall man, thinks there's any risk with this administration with the cost on any of them for their activities and what they are doing for americans today, holding them hostage is, not that many will get -- we haven't seen anything like this in a off online to ants to destroy some of these billions of dollars of equipment that we left behind but it's going to s

a way that's you mike. that is of course then secretary of state mike pompeo. with him who was released from prison in pakistan in 2018, at the request of the trump administration. so that he could participate in negotiations. the two of them first met in september 2020, and again two months later, in november. because one meeting with the taliban was not nearly enough, for tough guy mike. up until a couple of months ago, trump himself was still touting his great deal, and his decision to pull all u.s. troops. >> i started the process, all the troops are coming back home. they can stop the process. 21 years is enough, don't we think. 21 years. they couldn't stop the process. they wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process. >> that was at the end of june. he wanted credit for bringing the troops home. he did not want joe biden to get any credit for his deal. and now, trump says joe biden should resign in disgrace for what he is allowed to happen afghanistan. donald trump is nothing if not shamelessly inconsistent. for his par, president biden is making

joining us now with more fox news contributor and former secretary of state mike pompeo. let me first start with the virus, not held accountable. and you read these emails and we know what this lab was doing and now we know that taxpayer dollars went to it. your reaction. >> yes, well, since we spoke about this in the spring of 2020, we have known the virology lab was the place, sean, the virus came from. and we saw the deep cover up, right? they won't let anybody in to do the investigation in a proper way. chinese communist party is responsible for a lot of people that traveled with a known cup very contagious viral that is reckless. and they have to be held accountable. there is a lot of ways we can do that. it doesn't appear that biden administration will head down that path. there are many tools without legislation that the biden administration could use to hold the chinese communist party accountable for millions of deaths around the world and billions of dollars swapped from this chinese voicing of the virus upon the world. >> sean: something you would never let hap

that's completely the opposite of what mike pompeo and his team negotiated. first of all, how do you do a successful negotiation? you walk in from a position of strength. when mike pompeo and the team walked into the room they were backed up by a president who released the mother of all bombs, the description for the bomb that's basically right underneath a nuclear weapon in terms of the capacity, so they had done that under president trump's watch. right. so that's number one. number two, whatever pompeo came into the room, the taliban knew that he was part of the team that took the head off of qassem soleimani, basically the world's biggest terrorist and so he walked in from a position of strength and he said to them on multiple times, you touch one american and then it's your head. todd: a part of the biden administration's policy reportedly included handing over a list of u.s. citizens and allies to the taliban as part of their negotiation was the terror group to help with evacuations. at least 100 afghan evacuees headed to the u.s., also appearing on the

i want to share a tweet from mike pompeo, former secretary of state. he encapsulates what a number of people are saying about what happened before versus what's happening now. let me share that with you. this tweet from the former secretary of state. "in the last 13 months of our administration, there was not a single american attacked or killed. it wasn't because of a piece of paper. it was because the taliban understood that if they acted against americans and acted inconsistently with what they promise to do, we'd respond and we did." from that i draw couple conclusions. trump administration officials and others say this has been botched from the very beginning. the second thing is this is a real challenge to the current administration to do better and do more than what they are doing right now. your take. >> what happens in afghanistan is not occurring in a vacuum. the taliban and other adversaries around the world have march the biden administration from its outset. basically telegraphed nothing but weakness. we have repeatedly threatened russian

pompeo. pompeo was on fox news sunday and was asked about his efforts to negotiate with the taliban. here is a bit of that back and forth yesterday. [video clip] >> you were the first american secretary of state to ever meet with the taliban, and you talked about how they had agreed to join us in the fight against terrorism. here you are, sir. >> the gentleman i met with agreed they would break that relationship and that they would work alongside of us, to destroy, deny resources to and have al qaeda depart from that place. >> do you regret giving the taliban that legitimacy? do you regret pressing the afghan government to release 5000 prisoners, which they did, some of whom are now back on the battlefield fighting with the taliban? >> the statement i made that day was absolutely true. you can ask the military leaders on the ground. we did good work to crush al qaeda. when we left office, they were fewer than 200 al qaeda left in afghanistan ash there were fewer than 200 al qaeda left in afgh

. >> let's keep in mind, mike pompeo met with the taliban as donald trump was publicly saying we have to get out of afghanistan at all costs, it's not worth it. mike pompeo meets with the taliban and tries to negotiate something, and they knew what the desired outcome of the trump administration was, so they set this up to fail but always, of course, joe biden could have easily turned this around and instead used it as the excuse to get out. both parties failed the american people and it can't continue and particularly can't continue by just pointing fingers while america is embarrassed in front of the world. >> joining me now, barbara lee from california. you were the sole member of congress who voted against this, and you were vilified. do you stand by your vote that day? >> thank you for inviting to be with you for a few minutes. yeah, i stand by that vote. this was a 60-word authorization to use military force. it was a blank check to set the stage for perpetual war, a forever war, and it put forth the framework to keep congress out of performance and the constitutional responsibi

and let me point out, if you read the agreement and donald trump and mike pompeo negotiated back in february which is dumb as a rotten hot potato in the in coming biden team. you have to ask how much of this disgrace deal have left afghanistan open to al-qaeda. al-qaeda continues to operate with the support of the taliban, particularly through the network whose number two is the son of the leader of al-qaeda's support network inside afghanistan. the president has to deal with the consequences. more importantly the residual problem that we try to avoid which is the continuation of extremist group operating inside afghanistan no matter what the taliban says. >> yeah, that's the most recent history before the biden administration took over including as "the new york times" is pointing out. i guess it is the dumbest idea, although it is hard to pick, that was scuttled by people around him. you know how hard it is to pull him back from a bad idea. so there is plenty of blame to go around as each of you is alluding to. i did want to reflect on how much this has changed. we took a look at some of t

big talk from pompeo. big talk. but hold on, mike. who is this in dohar standing next to taliban official mullah badar who is now the de facto leader of afghanistan. oh, wait, that's you, mike. that is, of course, then secretary of state mike pompeo with badar who was released from prison in pakistan in 2018 at the request of the trump administration so he could participate in negotiations. the two of them first met in september of 2020 and again two months later in november, because one meeting with the taliban was not nearly enough for tough guy mike. up until a couple of months ago, trump himself was still touting his great deal and his decision to pull out all u.s. troops. >> i started the process, all the troops are coming back home. they couldn't stop the process. 21 years is enough, don't we think? 21 years. they couldn't stop the process. they wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process. >> that was at the end of june. he wanted credit for bringing the troops home. he did not want joe biden to get any credit for his d

i was down in san diego a uple of weeks ago trying to film a month -- mike pompeo was here doingampaigning for larry elder. it was an event that was hosted by a christian zionist group, jewish voice for peace, and another joining together for a counterprotests and rally. i covered the speeches and part of the march. it will we got to where mike pompeo was speaking, there was a group that had set up sort of a phony barricade in front of the street so we could not get further. as you approached them, in much the same way saw the menacing on saturday, they were egging people on and a very angry way. i researched some of those guys. there was one guy named mike was on oh, also a proud boy and member of the american guard, which is a designated hate group from the southern poverty law center. he maced me, hit my phone out of my hand. i'm sure there were others that i did not see that traveled down from orange county, what have you. this was a widespread thing in california. i think it is shocking for a lot of people because i see california as being a liberal, progressive state. we do have an e

mike pompeo met with him in person to tell him for sure there would be a full and complete u.s. withdrawal. it was an agreement between the u.s. government and the taliban. no room for misunderstanding there. once the taliban had that personal assurance from the u.s. secretary of state they started the very practical deal making back home so not as many people would have to die. so the taliban takeover wouldn't have to be too bloody when it happened. they started negotiating in the villages, moved up to the small cities and towns, to the provincial capitals, and ultimately secured their deal in kabul. indeed, the army we built and paid for and the government we supposedly propped up with the boat loads of billions of dollars of a month for 20 years they really did just hand over the keys when the time came. and now president biden of course has taken it from all sides for this takeover happening on his watch. the sickening consequences and prospects of what it means for the taliban to be reassuming control of that country. president biden admitted today that is happening faster

mike pompeo met with him in person to tell him for sure there would be a full and complete u.s. withdrawal. it was an agreement between the u.s. government and the taliban. so there was no equivocation there. no room for misunderstanding there. once the taliban had that personal assurance from the u.s. secretary of state they started the very practical deal making back home so not as many people would have to die. so the taliban takeover wouldn't have to be too bloody when it happened. they started negotiating in the villages, moved up to the small cities and towns, to the provincial capitals, and ultimately secured their deal in kabul. indeed, the army we built and paid for and the government we supposedly propped up with the boat loads of billions of dollars a month for 20 years, they really did just hand over the keys when the time came. and now president biden of course has taken it from all sides for this takeover happening on his watch. the sickening consequences and prospects of what it means for the taliban to be reassuming control of that country. president biden admitt

pompeo. >> yes. this collapse goes back to the agreement of 2020. the taliban didn't defeat us, we defeet ourselves. >> my concern was that president trump by continuing to want to withdraw american forces out of afghanistan undermine the agreement, which is why in the fall when he was calling for a return of u.s. forces by christmas, i objected. and formally wrote a letter to him, a memo based on recommendations from the military chain of command that we not reduce below 4,500 troops unless and until conditions were met by the taliban. >> both trump and pompeo said their deal with the taliban was conditional. but the taliban have not violated any of the written conditions of the four-page agreement signed in doha, nor is there evidence that top trump officials prioritized planning for the eventual evacuation of americans. joining us now john brez nahan. this seems to complicate the acts on the president. >> some of the comments are strong and there was objections on the hill, mitch mcconnell, lindse

former secretary of state mike pompeo echoed that on "fox business". >> we were determined to get our young men and women out of there but we did that and kept the country stable. >> but for the record, there is no legitimate argument that afghanistan experienced anything resembling stability after the u.s. deal with the taliban. in fact, the defense department's inspector general says the taliban escalated violence further right after that so-called peace deal was made. and then there is this statement from former u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley that tweeted on wednesday quote to have our general say they are depending on diplomacy with the taliban is unbelievable scenario negotiating with the taliban is like dealing with the devil. it's true that no one wants to have to depend on the taliban. they aren't exactly the most reliable and peace loving group out there obviously. but hailey is ignoring the fact that the trump administration itself negotiated with the taliban mike pompeo's meeting with top taliban leaders in qatar last year and hailey spoke favorably about
