taliban. >> all kinds of reports coming in. >> dan quinn shall reap said that biden goes back on delaware retreat, they were still americans and allies trying to get out of afghanistan. they have planes and ready to go but taliban won't let them an biden burned up any leverage we had to. he is not the only one questioning the priorities of the president and vice president. >> i haven't seen her, really, publicly, i haven't seen her on capitol hill and i haven't seen joe biden. you know, they want to go on vacation. speak with white house officials tell fox we continue to work around the clock for safe passage out for americans seeking to leave afghanistan. that is proving difficult. speak with the state department is incapable of assessing the situation on the ground right now because they evacuated to. >> that is why some experts worry it will be a safe haven for terrorists soon. >> what you have is a terror superstore in afghanistan where you have got all these heavily fortified operating bases that

terrorists such as isis or al qaeda can come into and plan and prepare operations against the united states. >> about an hour and a half from right now, back to work for president biden who will fly to the white house after spending a long weekend in wilmington area going to the labor hall, going to church and visiting with a friend in the neighborhood whose identity the white house is choosing not to share, mike. >> mike: peter doocy up the road in wilmington, delaware, thanks a lot. let's bring in senior political analyst brit hume, good evening. >> hi, mike. >> mike: what is your assessment of where things stand? >> well, much about the biden administration would like to turn the page away from the story, and other things come i don't think the story will let them do that. the media decides to comply and focus less on afghanistan then did so intensely for weeks. but the afghanistan is like a

time bomb over there. you have the situation that is described at mazar-e sharif airport and the renewal of terrorist attacks either on the u.s. or its allies emanating from afghanistan and you've got the questions undoubtedly will be raised about a couple of other things, mike. one is how do we get these people out and not get our own people out? we needed to get out and who are these people that we did get out? were they properly vetted? who are they? and the question is, did any turn out to be actual terrorists? that will raise questions anew. so we have a long way to go on the story, mike, by the administration with that they like it or not. >> mike: for those who cope with the white house over the years the senior officials served at the pleasure of the president meaning you might be out of the job if that is what the president needs. do you think, senior officials will be ousted due to this messy withdrawal?

>> i think the messy withdrawal was largely on the shoulders of biden himself. everything we learn from the decisions made as to biden wanting out in the last thing we would have his kabul and the embassy. that meant that had to be closed because would not serve any more troops in. so this is overwhelmingly largely on biden. but they can't fire him. and if this gets worse for him politically, he might feel the need to get rid of some of these people and be seen as turning over a new leaf. but so far, he has stubbornly clung to him as peter doocy just reported, to insistence with this whole think this was a great success. i don't think the public agrees. i don't think it will likely start to agreeing soon. >> mike: with all of these americans and afghan partner stuck in the country, do you worry this could be worse than the iran hostage crisis lay in the era? >> some of the opportunities for

the americans and others that we care about that are there to be taken as hostages and used for bargaining. and some think that might happen with those trapped in mazar-e sharif. but that remains to be seen. but it is certainly a possibility. you know, you have in addition to having the taliban in control and the united states, you have these terrorist elements there and al qaeda and isis k that may turn out to be willing to grab people on the ground as well. so i'm going to say, it is a worry as part of a ticking time bomb. >> mike: brit, we have a few seconds remaining. do you get a sense president biden's political advisors want out over his national security advisors in this case? >> i wouldn't say just political advisors but joe biden is a man throughout his long career as not had a lot of fixed convictions. he has been a creature of the

democratic party and its current opinions. in this case, however, he developed a firm conviction. he didn't like afghanistan for a long time and wanted out. and i don't think it was just political advisors. i think it was him. i think his military advisors, indeed, overruled. apparently, they haven't felt strong enough to quit because they are still all there. but i think this is him. >> mike: brit hume thank you for laboring with us on labor day, many thanks. just days before the 20th anniversary of 9/11 attacks, pretrial hearings for the accused architect for the massive terror plot are set to begin. lucas tomlinson guantanamo bay, cuba, with the details. >> 20 years after 9/11 attacks, there has never been a trial for those accused of planning it. after proceedings paused for more than a year due to coronavirus pandemic come at the trial set to resume wednesday. 15 years ago doesn't detainees arrived at gitmo with black

capital, gentlemen, welcome. >> good to be with you. >> mike: big picture afghanistan, senator bill hagerty of tennessee said today he's worried about this inspiring more jihadist. let's take a listen and i will get your reaction. >> what we have done is we've actually precipitated the situation where the taliban now have declared victory. a great victory propaganda as well and that is inspiring jihadist around the world to step up the threat of terror. even worse, armed them. the threats that the allies proceed is more costly than her own because geographically they are much closer. they were concerned about humanitarian disaster. the refugees fleeing afghanistan elves destabilized by the taliban. >> mike: steve, you want to lead us off? >> steve: i think he is right. we don't have to match in this either. you have seen the jihadist on social media celebrating the victory of the taliban over the united states. and you have seen the taliban

itself celebrate its victory over the united states. you have seen the taliban putting out videos making statements celebrating 9/11 attacks and saying that we would win all along. this will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm of jihadist not just in afghanistan but globally. but even in particular, you are seeing and will continue to see but more jihadist come to afghanistan where al qaeda was, where al qaeda remained and al qaeda never left afghanistan. and there is i think a much greater threat to the u.s. its interest in its allies including the homeland because of what has happened. >> mike: we were just days away from 20 years since 9/11 attacks, mark, your thoughts. >> marc: steve is right and we only have to look back to what happened the last time joe biden presided over disaster with all the troops from iraq where only about 700 isis fighters left in the country. they grew within three years, grew over 32,000. soon they carried out attacks in

paris, brussels, ottawa, and all across europe. and so, you know, the threat is real. and we are about to mention, we are about to celebrate 20th anniversary of 9/11 attacks. joe biden is going to go to ground zero on saturday while thousands of people come americans from american visa holders from american permanent residents, afghan alleys of the united states are stranded behind enemy lines not by accident, by choice, by his choice. he intentionally left them behind. he ordered the last plane to leave afghanistan knowing they were there after promising he wouldn't leave until every american was repatriated. the reality is, why did he set that deadline? he said it in april when he announced it. we will be out of that war by the end of september 112001. he set the deadline of next saturday with those people behind so that he could and this operation could be done before he went to ground zero on

saturday and that is shameful. >> mike: on that point texas republican with explosive comments yesterday on fox news sunday. let's play the clip. >> we have six airplanes at mazar-e sharif airport, six airplanes with american citizens on them as we speak and also these interpreters and the taliban is holding them hostage for demands. this is really, chris, turning into a hostage situation, where they will not allow american citizens to leave until they get full recognition from the united states of america. >> mike: full recognition from united states of america. steve, your thoughts. >> steve: i don't have any specific reporting to add to what he said on the planes in mazar-e sharif but generally, it is clear the taliban have leverage and they can do and make demands because the biden administration chose to leave hundreds of americans in afghanistan, who are virtual targets right now for the

taliban. to extract concessions from additional concessions from the united states. the state department spokesman gave a statement to johns france-presse and said tonight, we can't do much with these plans in mazar-e sharif. we can't do much to tell you what's going on on the ground in afghanistan because we are no longer there and we don't have good visibility what is happening. no kidding. that is why you don't do it this way. that is why you don't do it in reverse and the final line of that statement was something to the effect of "we will hold the taliban to its pledge to allow americans and others to pass freely from afghanistan." how are you going to hold them to that? what are the consequences? we have no army. there is nothing we can do right now. president biden has made it clear he doesn't want to do anything. i think we are stuck. i think it is really a careless situation for the people who remain on the ground in afghanistan. and beyond the planes in mazar-e sharif, there were people in and around kabul and the rest of the country.

we need to be doing more as a country to get them back. >> mike: we have one bit of good news, particularly one good news for an american family, an american citizen and family members getting across the border to a neighboring country today, but they need to do that many, many more times, marc, your thoughts. >> marc: that is because biden holds a u.s. military out of the country. a bunch of american veterans have gone in and established to carry out rescue coverage. biden said lots of americans have left afghanistan. that's not true. there are american soldiers in afghanistan right now but not u.s. government soldiers but veterans, former soldiers who went back in on the ground at this time trying to explode treat people. i would add one other thing, it's not just americans we forced nato to pull out early and they left thousands and thousands of their people. canada left and forced to leave behind 1,250 canadian citizens, residents and people holders.

britain left a thousand, germany said they left behind 6,000, all forced to do that by the biden administration's decision to pull out. so they pulled out, left and abandoned our allies and left our american veterans and let them go back in the place they served and risk of these people and it's absolutely horrible. >> mike: i spoke a hero of afghan. let's play that clip. >> it's only going to continue to get worse. what you see is the biden administration continue physically trying to kick this can down the road. you have heard the narrative of biden came out, tell us what we want to hear. he said one day we will not leave until all americans are out. this is not true. at some point, they have to do something. or just come out and say, "look, this is not our issue. we don't care. we messed this up and good luck to everyone." >> mike: steve, final thoughts from you on this? >> steve: i think that is right.

look, and you agree with withdrawing u.s. troops or whether you agree with eliminating the u.s. presence in afghanistan, the way it happened was catastrophic and has created these follow-on problems. in the short medium term, hostages and americans getting out and the betrayal of allies as marc suggested. in the long term from a real security threat that is greater because of this decision we made. >> mike: all right, gentlemen let's leave it there. we hope to get harold ford up and running for the next one. it is shaping up to be a pivotal impact september for congress. we will look at the agenda. >> congress has to act and act fast. >> today's the national democratic party a bunch of socialists. kidney alert! ckd often has no symptoms until it's too late! help protect your kidneys.

>> thanks for having me on and happy labor day. i was encouraged by all of those remarks by senator mcconnell and ron klain. it is clear that for a package to pass it has to have bipartisan support. senator manchin who really has emerged as far as domestic policy is the most influential and pivotal and powerful senator if not person in washington. but i think everyone should keep something in mind here. we are quarreling over trillion dollars spending imposed structure when china spending $6 trillion what reporting to spend on. and $3 trillion and they are spending $6 trillion on highways, bridges, electrical grid, sails and internet towers and enabling new generation of businesses to compete and win. if we want to be a power that is not declining 21st century, this is something we have to get our arms around. i hope we can do it in a bipartisan way. some can be discouraged about the powers to be in washington,

no one should outright no. we have to figure a way to work together and hopefully joe manchin is democrats and republicans along with him. >> mike: you have about $1 trillion infrastructure and then $3.5 trillion package that democrats want, spending priorities and so basically the message of leadership democrats need to come together. let's play this clip. >> it's no use doing a bill that will not pass the senate in the interest of getting things, results, getting results. as i always say that diversity is our strength, our unity is our power. >> you need to have both skills. some senators prefer the other but what i have said, we have to come together. >> but west virginia democrat senator joe manchin what writing in "the wall street journal" throwing some cold water "i

believe that making budgetary decisions under artificial political deadlines never leads to good policy or sound decisions. i've always said if i can't explain it, i can't vote for it and i cannot explain why the democratic colleagues are rushing to spend $3.5 trillion mark, your thoughts. >> god bless joe manchin. look the democrats problem going into this month they were both weekend an end divided. joe biden's approval rating underwater for the first time in his presidency and his thinking. and u.s. today, apple 41% approval, 51% disapproval, 39% disapproval in his handling of the economy and 26% approval of afghanistan. and afghanistan is not going away because they will have oversight with the afghan debacle and everything they have to do. and then they are divided because the progressive won't pass the bipartisan infrastructure built until the $3.5 trillion social spending bill reconciliation bill is passed and joe manchin said he's

not voting for that. if they were smart, joe biden needs a win right now. pelosi and schumer, get the bipartisan bill on my desk so i can have a signing ceremony at the white house surrounded by republicans and democrats and claim a victory. we need a victory right now. we had nothing but defeats. the progressive wing won't let them have that. >> mike: plus that will need to narrative. steve, your thoughts. >> i think nancy pelosi and chuck schumer will have testing over the coming months. they have both singled that they are confidence that this will get done and it will happen. but as marc points out joe manchin basically did say no. you read the rest of "the wall street journal" op-ed, he talked about $28.7 trillion in debt that the united states is that china does not, by the way. and he makes the case and is not going to be a part of this. we have to start thinking about the consequences of the cost of what we are spending. it was a pretty impassioned editorial. pretty impassioned statement from a senator who is playing

this role in deciding what is happening. joe biden and joe manchin are going to be the two most important people over the next month. how much joe biden leans in, rolls up his sleeves, works with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to try to force this through i think could play a big role and whether this turns out to be rid is going to have to make nice with joe manchin. joe manchin, joe biden should have joe manchin at the white house every day this if joe biden wants to be there. >> end of the fiscal year and found that government be on september 30th. they have the debt ceiling at some point. harold was to think it done this month? >> harold: look, everybody here is right, marc is right they need a win and steve is right the political talent will be tested. i hope in terms of explain to joe manchin, this moment we have to play smart and play big. think about where we were a year and a half ago we produced paper towels and soap for ourselves. now we have a chip shortage and

another paper towel and soap shortage if we don't invest in supply chain. that is the argument i would be making to joe manchin and republicans alike. let them go home and defend that. $3.5 trillion something ambiguous come i think they are right. it is hard to defend. when you nail down what we are competing with ny, i think they can get closer to $2 trillion, maybe not 3.5 trillion if they make an argument here it's going all right, gentlemen many thanks and we will leave it there. when we come back tomorrow's headlines tonight. it's clinically shown to help manage blood sugar levels and contains high quality protein to help manage hunger and support muscle health. try boost today. one, two! one, two, three! only pay for what you need! with customized car insurance from liberty mutual!
