because joe biden's giving a multibillion-dollar gift of vladimir putin was a generational geopolitical mistake because it strengthens russia and it weakens america because it endangers suft national security -- u.s. national security interests. i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. the senator from connecticut. mr. murphy: mr. president, because america national security is gravely compromised by the inability of a president to have his national security team in place at a time of crisis, i would ask that it be in order to make the same request with respect to executive calendar number 328, an witkowsky. mr. cruz: mr. president, reserving the right to object, just a few moments ago the senator from connecticut said something bad is going to happen. he's right. something bad is going to happen, and there's a reason for it. the biden foreign policy in just seven months has been the most disastrous foreign policy we have seen of any administration since jimmy carter. to every enemy of america, they have projected weakness. on russia, joe biden has given vladimir putin what

vladimir putin desperately wants this pipeline completed. if the pipeline is completed, it will give billions of dollars to putin to use for malign efforts in europe and throughout the world. this congress is overwhelmingly convinced that completing the nord stream 2 pipeline is terrible policy. it is bad for the united states. it is bad for europe. it is good for russia and putin. accordingly, the congress passed overwhelmingly bipartisan sanctions legislation that i authored, along with democratic senator jeanne shaheen, and that legislation proved tremendously successful. how successful was it? when the president signed it into law, if my memory serves correctly, at 7:00 p.m. on a thursday, construction on the pipeline halted at 6:45 p.m. on that thursday, 15 minutes before the sanctions went into law, they ceased building the pipeline. for a year, the pipeline lay dormant. it lay as a hunk of metal at the bottom of the ocean. we we had succeeded together. this body had won a bipartisan national security victory for the united states. the

is there any possibility that we are going to see regime change in belarus as long as vladimir putin remains in power? >> it is difficult to speculate. we can discuss the case in terms of the cold war as big global powers. at the same time, we have seen vladimir putin was unable to influence lukashenko in a broad spectrum. he was only able to provide him with some kind of financial assistance when it comes to credits to support the economy. the same time, you don't see that vladimir putin is willing or able to influence the regime change in della reese. -- in belarus. brent: we appreciate your time. iran has a new president. the ultraconservative cleric took the oath of office today. foreign guests attended the inauguration which was broadcasted live on state television. he takes over from a moderate and faces an economy crippled by u.s. led sanctions. tensions are high with the u.s. and israel preparing for possible confrontations. joining us from washington is an advisor on iranian policy. the biden administration, do you think it's going to seek to swiftly confront toronto now tha

this is someone here -- as vladimir putin. this is someone he respects. it is interesting to note she said we have to accept the taliban has way more support than we anticipated. this is about getting the people out of the country, both european nationals and the staff that have worked for them. the situation is not political. there has been no political debate as to what happens next. how do we get all of these people out in 10 days? alix: thank you very much. maria tadeo joining us. all of that for the backdrop of the next couple weeks before the german chancellor elections. what does that mean when we have pmi data next week? holger schmieding, berenberg chief economist joins us now. we get pmi monday, the german confidence data next, what will we learn about the sentiment in germany as we head towards the election? dr. schmieding: we know sentiment is still very optimistic. there is a bit of a dip near-term reflecting much more supply shortages and the rise in the inflection -- the rise and the infection rate much more than concerns about afghanistan

a story in the "wall street journal" that vladimir putin had rejected a role for u.s. forces near afghanistan after that recent summit with president biden. the argument at the time and the pitch for the president at the time was to see if he could establish a base of operations outside land locked afghanistan. it never happened. now we're beginning to understand why it was such an important issue. could that have been a sign of the angst the administration had ahead of this pull-out from afghanistan and the collapse that has followed? welcome. i'm neil cavuto, this is "your world." we're still keeping on top of the exodus that is now picking up some steam in kabul. that is the good news. the bad news is that we're not quite sure who is picking and choosing when gets through that perimeter, if anyone, for the time being. let's go to jennifer griffin with the very latest on what is happening. jennifer? >> neil, the u.s. provided weapons to the fighters in the 80s that is now the taliban. now billions of dollars of hardware in the hands of the taliban. now the clock to e

while the russian president vladimir putin has dismissed the plan by western states to put afghan refugees in central asia, according to the proposal, they would have the u. s. o. e. v's is process that before traveling to their final destination. it must be our goal to keep the majority of the people in the region. europe shouldn't wait until people stand at our external borders for vladimir putin was speaking. speaking up specifically, there against several proposals that were given by european leaders to confine afghan refugees to the region until they purportedly received visas from the u. s. or some other western country. but of course, nobody knows exactly how long that's going to take, or if they're even going to receive visas at all. it's important to remember that throughout the the ladder years of the afghanistan war and now a lot of people in afghanistan who collaborated with nato forces the us led coalition. they were promised visas and never received one and now they're fearing reprisals from the taliban. so let's hear what the russian president had to say about the situation.

busy vladimir putin was sticking speaking up specifically there against several proposals that were given by european leaders to confine afghan refugees to the region until they purportedly received visas from the u. s. or some other western country. but of course, nobody knows exactly how long that's going to take, or if they're even going to receive visas at all. it's important to remember that throughout the the ladder years of the afghanistan war and now a lot of people in afghanistan who collaborated with nato forces the us led coalition. they were promised visas and never received one and now they're fearing reprisals from the taliban. so let's hear what the russian president had to say about the situation. but even with now, western partners frequently raised the question of accommodating african refugees in central asian countries before they get to us visa or some other one. so you can send people without a visa to these countries to our neighbors, but they don't want to take them with the visas to their own countries. is quite a humiliating approach to the issue. now putting sta

nothing happens in vladimir putin's russia without his knowledge and consent and frankly without him taking a little bit off the top or his cronies around him. what you see in russia is a confluence of cyber commonality and often times, cyber actors do the work national -- go to work day today for the national agencies and then they go home and -- the same is increasingly true in china. we are seeing the growth of a cyber committal industry there where it crosses purposes with the nationstate. in order to effectively confront this threat, you have to engage against those nationstates as well as getting better on the defensive side back home. matt: how can people like tim cook and jamie dimon and andrew jazz actually help? what can they do that the cia and the nsa can't already do by themselves? jamil: it is a great question. part of the challenge is that today we expect companies to defend themselves individually against every cyber threat. if russia were to fly a bomb over the united states, we would not expect amazon or apple or jp morgan to defend themselves. yet in cybersecurity,

it's not only important for americans and civilians and vladimir putin and chairman kim stare and this presents enormous risk to the american people here at home. maria: exactly. and the mixed messages have been incredibly dangerous. last week president biden told the americans in afghanistan to get to the airport so that the u.s. can get them home and then this weekend we were told don't go to the airport. it's too dangerous. they are terrorists right outside the airport. the gates are locked. they are confiscating passports. what's going on? should americans go to the airport or not go to the airport? >> i must say, i don't have accurate situation or knowledge of what's on the ground although i heard from some folks in the region. it certainly sounds like passage to the airport is very dangerous. america needs to work to secure that, to reduce the risk. there are lots of ways to do that. how about this for starting point, make clear that you're not going to beg or implore or you're not going to plea or pay the taliban if americans are harmed. you will go and crush them. you will put

it is long past time for us to get serious with vladimir putin. biden had that summit with president putin in yes neva, we're two months later, and we've still seen no action. clearly, the warning has not been heeded. and we have to go on offense. we have to use our cyber capabilities, cyber command and our intelligence community has to go after these springs, shut -- these individuals, hut down their infrastructure, otherwise we're going to be perpetually vulnerable. liz: according to web site cyberseek is, there are currently close to half a million jobs in the cybersecurity world. all you have to do is look at these stocks right now. everybody, whether it's fireeye or o.k. -- okta, you know, jumping pretty dramatically right now, up about 5%, we have palo alto networks, all of these names, you've got to figure that they are hiring at the moment because this is so significant. how important is it for people to be investing in human capital at this point? >> it is absolutely critical. the fact of the matter is we don't have enough professionals i

we know that vladimir putin said in geneva to the president that he did not want those in his sphere of influence to be relocation sites. and just today putin was suggesting that he was going to recognize the taliban. but he is moving in that direction. going back today, and his speech with angela merkel and also the chinese already. back to a point of where they're going to go the secretary of state also talked to the leaders of qatar and thanking them. seeing if they can take more. so you can see they're on the phone, trying to find a place for these people and this is, as we learned in the last 24 hours, this decent cable, that is a very special kind of protest. that is really protected. it goes directly to the secretary of state. it's not to be interfered with. that is the way diplomats over decades have been able to reach their higher ups especially in an emergency. we know now in july they were saying to the secretary of state this is coming undone, it's not going to hold, very urgently, and they say now that they, in the next few days, didn't accelerate or cut red tape, but th

putin in geneva. the americans decided to waive most of their sanctions. the americans justified this change by the fact that the united states wants better relations with europeans and a major player in europe is germany. at the same time, they tried to manage and to explain this decision, saying that together, germany and the united states will establish sanctions if russia uses nord stream as a political tool. my colleague in canada said this is something very difficult to assess because of course russia is a champion of hybrid measures. who will determine when the political aspect intervenes in this issue? unless russia invites directly with their tanks and military forces, there could always be a debate about whether it is political, geopolitical or not. this is something that does not really give the credit to them when they claim that russia will pay the price if they use it. >> let's get drum pals back into some of that. what is at stake here for russia beyond the economic benefits? >> it shou

sort of the same way donald trump pointed to vladimir putin in 2016 as an effective leader for his country. orban's criticism of immigration and trade, his defence of so—called traditional family values and western civilisation, all of that plays really well in the conservative press here in united states. and i think they see that as a framework for the return of trumpism if not donald trump personally to power here in united states in upcoming elections. this story is also playing out in the european press, with a slightly different tone. there's been pick—up for example on this moment from tucker carlson's show on monday. you'll notice fox news' zooming out of budapest�*s liberty statue in the left—hand corner of the screen. the statue commemorates the soviet army freeing hungary from nazi germany's occupation. politico reports... nick thorpe is in budapest. we have this sense of both sides boosting the sense of importance of the other, a bit of a love in here. has it picked up a lot on social immediate circles they are? it has icked u- immediate circles they are? it has picked
