♪ PETE: TOMORROW ON CAPITOL HILL THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE SET TO REVEAL WHAT IT FOUND IN ITS 3-YEAR INVESTIGATION IF OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S DISASTROUS WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN. AS THE PROBE IS STILL REPORTEDLY NOWHERE NEAR DONE. GOP CONGRESSMAN MIKE LAWLER SITS ON THAT COMMITTEE AND JOINS US NOW WITH WHAT WE CAN EXPECT. MIKE, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS WORK. YOU KNOW, THIS ADMINISTRATION, ALL THEY WANT IS FOR US TO LOOK AWAY, TO NOT REMEMBER. AND YOU ARE FINALLY TRYING TO TO GET A COMPREHENSIVE SENSE OF HOW WE GOT THERE. WHAT'S THE BIG TAKEAWAY FOR YOU AS YOU LOOK AT ALL THE EVIDENCE YOU'VE UNCOVERED? >> I THINK WE'RE FINALLY GOING TO HAVE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY ON THIS ADMINISTRATION, PETE. AFTER YEARS OF DENIALS, REFUSAL AS AND A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, THERE'S NO QUESTION SINCE THE FALL OF SAIGON THAT THIS WAS THE MOST EMBARRASSING DISPLAY BY A MILITARY OPERATION. THE ADMINISTRATION FAILED MISERABLY, CAN AND I THINK YOU WILL SEE IN THIS REPORT A VERY THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF HOW WE GOT HERE. THE FACT THAT THE ADMINISTRATION ASKED DID NOT HAVE A CONDITIONS OF BASED WITHDRAWAL, THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WHO LIKES TO REMIND EVERYBODY SHE WAS THE LAST PERSON IN THE ROOM MADE A DECISION TO REMOVE ALL TROOPS, CONDITIONS BE DAMNED. AND I THINK, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BIG TAKEAWAYS -- PETE: YEAH. >> -- YOU KNOW, AND THE SPECIFICS OF WHICH, YOU KNOW, I WILL LEAVE TO THE REPORT TO BE LEASED. PETE: SURE. >> BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU KNOW, WE LOST 13 U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS. KAMALA HARRIS HAS NEVER MET WITH THESE FAMILIES, NEVER APOLOGIZED TO THESE FAMILIES FOR THEIR LOSS. AND, YOU KNOW, WE JUST, OBVIOUSLY, MEMORIALIZED THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THE ABBEY GATE SUICIDE BOMBING. AND, OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS HEARINGS ON CAPITOL HILL EXAMINING THAT INCIDENT ALONG WITH THIS DISASTROUS WITHDRAWAL. AND I THINK IN FULL DETAIL AND WITH OVER 18 TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEWS OF ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS YOU WILL GET A FULL -- PETE: I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THAT. YOU MENTIONED CONDITIONS-BASED VERSUS DEADLINE-BASED. DONALD TRUMP ALWAYS SAID CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND HAVE TO BE RIGHT. THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION ORIGINALLY SET SEPTEMBER 11TH AS THE DEADLINE. THEY MOVED THAT DATE UP TO MID -- TO LATE AUGUST, WHICH LEADS TO MY LAST GENERAL QUESTION. BASED ON WHAT YOU'VE SEEN, DID THEY KNOW IN WERE THEY AWARE OF HOW BAD THIS WAS GOING TO GO AND THEY WENT FORWARD ANYWAY? >> I THINK VERY CLEARLY THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF FORESIGHT OR PLAN BEING ON THEIR PART. I THINK THEY -- PLANNING ON THEIR PART. I THINK THEY MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT NO MATTER THE CONDITIONS ORS, THEY WERE WITHDRAWING. JOE BIDEN WANTED TO BE OUT OF AFGHANISTAN BY SEPTEMBER 11TH. THE FACT THAT HE CHOSE THAT DATE AS SOME SYMBOLIC, YOU KNOW, POINT WAS IDIOTIC. AND, BY THE WAY, THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME HE'S USED SEPTEMBER 11TH AS A DATE TO MAKE IDIOTIC DECISIONS. HE RELEASED $6 BILLION WORTH OF FUNDS TO IRAN ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, THE GREATEST STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR. SO THIS IS, YOU KNOW, HE HAS SOME BIZARRE OBSESSION WITH TRYING TO PROVE A POINT ON SEPTEMBER 11TH. OBVIOUSLY, AS WE A APPROACH THE 23RD ANNIVERSARY THIS WEEK, FROM START TO FINISH THIS WAS A DISASTROUS WITHDRAW -- WITHDRAWAL. PETE: SURE WAS. >> AND I THINK THE DOCUMENT IS GOING TO THE BEAR THAT OUT. PETE: WE LOOK FORWARD TO READING IT, AND WE APPRECIATE YOU DOING THE WORK ON BEHALF OF THOSE LIVES LOST AND ON A NATION
