LARRY KUDLOW, GREAT TO HAVE YOU.
WE ARE WAY BEHIND, LARRY, GOT TO
RUN.
KEEP IN MIND TONIGHT, BIDEN IS
BATTLING NUMEROUS SELF-INFLICTED
CRISIS AT HOME AND ABROAD.
NOW THE ADMINISTRATION PLANS TO
EXEMPT SOME AFGHANS THAT
SERVED -- THAT WERE THE OLD
TALIBAN GOVERNMENT.
HE IS GOING TO TAKE THEM -- THEY
ARE ON NO-FLY LIST, HE IS GOING
TO LIFT THE NO-FLY LIST.
IN OTHER WORDS, LET THEM COME
INTO AMERICA.
DID THEY CHANGE THEIR VALUES ALL
OF A SUDDEN?
AGAINST THIS RADICAL SHARIA LAW
THAT THEY IMPOSED ON THE PEOPLE
WHEN THEY WERE IN CHARGE OF THE
ISLAMIC EMIRATES OF AFGHANISTAN?
MEANWHILE, BIDEN’S SPECIAL ENVOY
IS NOW WARNING THAT THE U.S.
MUSICK MUST ACCEPT AND PREPARE
FOR A FULLY NUCLEAR IRAN, YOU ME
PEOPLE THAT CHANT "DEATH TO
AMERICA, DEATH TO ISRAEL," WE
ARE GOING TO LET THEM GET
NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND WE ARE OKAY
WITH THAT?
AND JOE’S DEFENSE DEPARTMENT,
INTEL COMMUNITY HAD NO CLUE
APPARENTLY WHATSOEVER ABOUT
CHINA’S NEW HYPERSONIC WEAPONS
THAT CAN DELIVER NUCLEAR WEAPONS
WEAPONS?
THEY WELCOME THE STIFF
COMPETITION?
AND BIDEN STYLE SILENCE ON
CHINA’S REPEATED "REUNIFICATION"
OR TAKE OVER OR REALLY THREATS,
WITH TAIWAN, IT’S BEEN
DEAFENING.
AND JOE HAS NOT LIFTED A FINGER
TO HELP TAIWAN AND STOP IN CHINA
AND THEIR INVASION OF TAIWAN AIR
SPACE WITH THEIR FIGHTER JETS
DAY AND NIGHT.
HERE WITH REACTION TO ALL OF
THAT, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE
MIKE POMPEO, WHO IS SPEAKING
WITH US, BY THE WAY, ONE NEAR
THE USS MIDWAY AND SAN DIEGO.
GREAT TO SEE YOU, MR. SECRETARY.
66 DAYS NOW, AMERICANS TRAPPED
BEHIND ENEMY LINES.
LET’S START WITH THE CHINA
QUESTION FIRST, THEN GO TO IRAN
THAN AFGHANISTAN.
ON CHINA’S CLEAR POLITICAL
AMBITIONS TO REUNIFY WITH
TAIWAN, JOE BIDEN IS NOT LIFTING
A FINGER.
WHAT SHOULD HE BE DOING?
>> WHAT WE DID FOR FOUR YEARS,
SEAN, WAS MAKE CLEAR TO THE
PEOPLE OF TAIWAN THAT WE WOULD
BE THERE TO SUPPORT THEM, TO
PROVIDE WHAT THEY NEEDED SO THEY
COULD DEFEND THEMSELVES AND WE
MADE BEER TO THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY THAT IT WAS
TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IF THEY
TOOK MILITARY ACTION AGAINST THE
ISLAND OF TAIWAN.
THOSE TWO THINGS,
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS VERY CLEAR,
PREPARED TO DEFEND.
DID THAT ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD,
SOLEIMANI, USING NUCLEAR
WEAPONS, CROSSING
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S REDLINE.
THEY KNEW WE WERE SERIOUS ABOUT
PROTECTING AMERICANS.
THE DEBACLE IN AFGHANISTAN, THE
IRRADIANCE FIRED MISSILES FROM
THE GAZA STRIP INTO ISRAEL, HAVE
ALL SHOWN AMERICAN WEAKNESS, AND
THE FOUR THINGS YOU WALK THROUGH
TONIGHT, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS
WHERE AMERICA IS SHOWING
WEAKNESS AND WHEN YOU DO THAT
COME OUR ADVERSARIES WILL DO
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PUT US AT
RISK AND TO CRUSH US.
>> Sean: WELL, AND I DIDN’T
EVEN MENTION THE RUSH APART.
NOW LET ME GO TO THE IRANI IN
PART.
IF, IN FACT, YOU MARRY THIS
"DEATH TO AMERICA, DEATH TO
ISRAEL" MANTRA, "CONVERT OR DIE"
MANTRA OF THE IRANIAN MULLAHS
AND EMPOWER THEM -- THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION’S SIGNALING, I
GUESS THEY WILL ACCEPT, WHAT IS
THE RISK TO THE WORLD AT THAT
POINT?
TO ME, IT SEEMS VERY REAL
BECAUSE I IMAGINE THE MULLAHS
MIGHT BE THINKING THEY ARE DOING
GOD’S WILL BY FIRING THAT WEAPON
AT EITHER ISRAEL OR THE U.S. OR
ANOTHER COUNTRY.
>> I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY ARE
GOING TO PERMIT THIS TO HAPPEN.
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS ON RECORD
MULTIPLE TIMES SAYING HE WILL
NEVER PERMIT IRAN TO HAVE A
NUCLEAR WEAPON.
ROBERT MALLEY, THE SPECIAL
ENVOY, BEGAN TO SIGNAL COME IF
YOU ARE THE ISRAELIS, YOU KNOW
YOU CAN’T LIVE WITH AN IRAN WITH
A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
I MUST SAY THIS PUTS THEM AT
REAL RISK AND PUTS THE WHOLE
WORLD AT RISK, PROLIFERATE THESE
NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
AND MAY NOT BE THE CASE THAT
THEY WILL FIRE THEM, THEY COULD
DISTRIBUTE THEM.
IRAN IS KNOWN FOR SELLING
WEAPONS ALL ACROSS THE WORLD.
THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER.
WE WERE DETERMINED.
WE DELIVERED, PUTTING THE
HARSHEST SANCTIONS ON THE
AYATOLLAH AND HIS HENCHMEN THAT
IRAN HAD EVER SEEN.
ISOLATED THEM, BUILT UP FRESH
FRIENDSHIPS WITH THE ISRAELIS,
THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS.
THIS IS HOW YOU DETER
AGGRESSION.
ALLOWING IRAN TO GET A NUCLEAR
WEAPON PUTS OUR PARTNER AND
FRIEND ISRAEL AT RISK, IT PUTS
THE GOLF AT RISK, GREATEST RISK
FOR THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, AS WELL.
>> Sean: LET ME BOUNCE BACK TO
CHINA BECAUSE I MEANT TO ASK
ABOUT THIS HYPERSONIC WEAPON.
APPARENTLY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION DIDN’T SEE IT
COMING.
THERE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT DIDN’T
SEE IT COMING.
THERE INTEL COMMUNITY DIDN’T SEE
IT COMING.
NOT ONLY -- NOT ONLY ARE THEY
SHOVING IT IN OUR FACE, THEY ARE
CAPABLE APPARENTLY OF LAUNCHING
NUCLEAR WEAPONS WITH THIS NEW
TECHNOLOGY.
NOW, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
SAID THEY WELCOME STIFF
COMPETITION.
TO ME, THAT IS A CLEAR AND
PRESENT DANGER TO THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
>> THE FACT THAT THEY CLAIM THEY
WELCOME STIFF COMPETITION IS
JUST SO ODD TO SAY ABOUT THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.
THESE AREN’T COMPETITORS.
THIS IS AN ADVERSARY WHO HAS
MADE CLEAR THEY WANT THE WORLD
TO LOOK LIKE THEY’RE MARXIST,
LENINIST, IDEOLOGICAL WORLD.
NOW THIS CAPABILITY, FLIES
MULTIPLE THE SPEED OF SOUND,
THAT IS WHAT HYPERSONIC
TRANSLATES INTO, IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO DEFEND AGAINST.
THE UNITED STATES UNDER
PRESIDENT OBAMA DID NOTHING TO
BUILD UP DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS.
WE BEGAN THAT WORK AND BEGIN TO
BUILD OUR OWN SET OF
CAPABILITIES.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
THE FACT THE CHINESE NOW CAN
DELIVER AT LEAST A MISSILE
COMPONENT OF THIS PROGRAM TO
WITHIN A COUPLE DOZEN MILES,
THINK HOW BIG LOS ANGELES IS,
RIGHT, TO WITHIN A COUPLE
THOUSAND MILES OF THE TARGET IS
A SERIOUS MATTER AND WHEN OUR
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND THE
PRESIDENT HIMSELF MUST TAKE
SERIOUSLY AND BEGIN TO RESPOND
TO, NOT BY CLAIMING THEY WELCOME
THAT KIND OF STIFF COMPETITION.
THAT IS JUST -- THAT IS JUST
CRAZY.
>> Sean: 79 DAYS AGO,
JOE BIDEN SAID HE WOULD NOT
LEAVE A SINGLE AMERICAN BEHIND
IN AFGHANISTAN.
66 DAYS AGO, HE ABANDON
AMERICANS, THEIR FAMILIES,
THOUSANDS OF GREEN CARD HOLDERS,
AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OUR
AFGHAN ALLIES.
HE HASN’T MENTIONED ANY OF THEM
IN 49 DAYS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HOPE, OUTSIDE OF
OUTSIDE GROUPS OR JOE BIDEN’S
PLAN TO BRIBE THE ISLAMIC
EMIRATES OF AFGHANISTAN TO GET
OUR PEOPLE BACK?
>> SADLY, I’M COUNTING ON
OUTSIDE GROUPS, PRIVATE
CITIZENS.
I’VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM,
TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE GET EVERY
LAST AMERICAN OUT OF THERE.
I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT WILL DO
THEIR SHARE, BUT THERE IS NO
EVIDENCE THEY ARE PREPARED TO DO
THAT, SEAN.
>> Sean: NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE
THAT, MR. SECRETARY, IN MY
LIFETIME.
NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE AMERICANS
