department, your reaction to what s happening or how they are talking about it. well, bret, the state department still can t get its facts straight. just two hours before tony blinken told america that there were 1500 of their fellow citizens stranded in afghanistan, one of his aides briefed congressional staff and said there were 4100. something tells me they didn t get 2600 american citizens out in the span of two hours today. the state department still nearly two weeks on cannot answer the simple question of how many americans we have stranded in afghanistan. and i m worried that this reflects the desire by joe biden to roll up stakes and fly out in a few days and to say that any american still in afghanistan wanted to stay there. well, we have got lots and lots of americans who have contacted our offices and i know that other representative senators do as well of trying to get out. they can t reach anyone in the state department. they are desperate to get on a flight and we need
out the president has said and administration officials have said any measure who wants to leave afghanistan, we are going to get them out. that s kind of the bottom line. now, over time if afghanistan returns to being a safe haven for terrorists and there is a terrorist attack launched on u.s. interest from afghanistan, that, i think, will be the absolute worst case scenario for joe biden. in the short-term, he has to get every single american out with no american casualties. bret: byron, this congressional trip, two congressman on their own, decide to go. a democrat and a republican to get a firsthand look at the airport. it really threw people for a loop at the pentagon and the leadership in both parties. well, i have to say personally i m glad a couple of members of congress went over and looked at it with their own eyes. and the way we have seen nancy pelosi, we have seen the white house. we have seen the pentagon just smack down congressman moulton
into chaos and pandemonium and tens of thousands overrunning the runway and pivoting to negotiating and having to deal with the taliban frankly a security partner rather than adversary and execute one of the logistical feats and air lift in human history. these people are heroes. their stories need to be told. i m so damn proud to be an american from what i saw on the ground in kabul. bret: congressman meyer, we appreciate your time. thank you, bret. bret: stocks were up today. the s&p 500 and nasdaq finished in record territory for the second day in a row. as you see the dow rose 39. the s&p rose 10 the nasdaq was ahead 22. coming up, senator tom cotton joins us live with his thoughts on how the evacuation is going and that new report on the origins of covid. but, next, growing frustration among landlords awaiting a crucial supreme court ruling. there is a lot of us out there that just need to reclaim
well, it s what i expected, bret. i haven t been briefed on this report yet. but, look, i have said for a long time that all the evidence pointing towards the origins of this virus were probably destroyed long ago. people involved in it were probably either killed or disappeared in chinese go logs. but all of the circumstantial evidence we have every bit of common sense americans have points directly towards the labs in wuhan not to that stupid food market. china is responsible for unleashing this plague on the world. it s time to make china pay. bret: do you think after this 90 day report that seems like it s ending in nothing. that the biden administration is somehow going to do something different when it comes to china and covid? no. i severely doubt it i mean they haven t done much different about china from the very beginning. they just did this to try to turn the page and move on to what they hope is the neption chapter which right now reckless $3.5 trillion tax and spendi
i should be able to reclaim my home when i want to. the moratorium is effective through october 3rd. u.s. attorney general merrick garland justice department last few weeks met with chief justices of different states across the country touting different eviction diversification measures. i keep checking the docket, nothing yet from the supreme court, but that should be coming up any day now as said, bret? bret: once we hear we will bring it to you. david spunt at the justice department. thanks. up next, what the state department is planning to do if it s unable to meet that august 31st withdrawal deadline. we will take you there first, here is what some of our fox affiliates are covering around the country tonight. fox 47 in lansing michigan first of six men charged in a plot to kidnap michigan governor gretchen whitmer was sentenced today. 25-year-old ty bargain was sentenced to six years and three months he pled guilty to a kidnapping conspiracy earlier they re year. sacramento
