President biden wrapped up his first address to the u. N. General assembly this morning, questions about Americas Credibility and leadership on the World Stage, at least trying to answer some of those questions. We will bring you more on his address, the reaction to it in just a moment. We want to start here in washington. The president and his democratic allies are facing a tangled web of legislation, urgent deadlines and theres Inter Party divisions to navigate. Its not hyperbole, its just a fact that the Biden Agenda, the progressive vision, infrastructure, future of the democratic party, health of the economy, fate of a Government Shutdown they have all been intertwined. If youre Joe Pesci from My Cousin Vinnie what do you do you want to put on this truck. Seems like leadership is betting they can u
Kabul airport. Afghan families desperate to escape the talibans fanatical rule. Theyll run behind you with the ak 47. And boom, boom, boom. Our country is right now is finished. No more afghanistan. After 20 years of fighting. The united States Military has begun strikes. The taliban will pay a price. And Tens Of Thousands of of a began and american lives lost. We try not to think about it, because when you think about it, then i get like this. The united states became the latest Super Power to suffer defeat in afghanistan. We have defeated britishers, and now americans. And a generation of afghans who grew up knowing Freedom Saw their dreams denied. The taliban reimposed strict islamic law. I came here on this last trip less than two weeks ago, and afghanistan was a republic, backed by the united states. Now its an islamic emirate, run by the taliban. It did not have to be this way. The united States War in afghanistan started a lot earlier than most people realize. It was in the 1980
This was an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. I never thought in my lifetime i would see an unconditional surrender to the taliban. This is betrayal. I do not believe a word youre saying on this. I do not wish to hear from you. What you said is dead wrong. I dont wish to hear your lie. It is so unfortunate the consequences. You need to resign. That would be leadership. Dana Senator Mike rounds Will Question Secretary Blinken this morning on the Senate Side. Peter doocy with the latest from the White House.

Welcome to meet the press daily. I am chuck todd. If it is tuesday, Someone is voting Somewhere. Today that Somewhere is a big one. It is california. Gavin newSom faces a Recall Election thats got 22 mail in ballots and hundreds of millions in the making. Governor newSom is expected to survive, perhaps not by a wide margin. Thats not the only story in the race, it is the sadly predictable republican efforts in the final hours to create a mythology of doubt on the legitimacy of the vote before theyve been counted. Theres zero evidence of any Election Impropriety in this race, yet Larry Elder, leading republican candidate if newSom is recalled the democrats were going to cheat, he had no proof, his campaign is claiming they have proof that the racist results are fraudulent. It is impossible, there are no results yet. T
