al qaeda rose, in effect, out of that vacuum. that's exactly the scenario that you see trump administration officials right now worried about in the risks of balancing wanting to leave after 18 years in a sense that there's no victory you can declare. the pictures are just awful and a reminder that afghanistan is not the stable place that we would want it to be. >> of course any conversation about afghanistan or so many places worldwide, secretary of state mike pompeo. your profile is so fascinating to watch his metamorphosis from trump critic to most loyal cheerleader. i want to get into how that happened and how the president believes him now when he acts as the most loyal cheerleader or really has changed. first, let's remind people back in march of 2016, during the campaign, mike pompeo was a marco rubio supporter. so here he is at a caucus in wichita, kansas, criticizing donald trump. listen to this. >> donald trump the other day said that, quote, if he tells a soldier to commit a war crime, the soldier will just go do it. h

just as we have work to defeat the threat from isis and the threat from al qaeda. now, they're not eradicated completely. we have to remain vigilant. what we're doing is leaving our home front, our primary flank completely untended because we have a president and people in this administration who don't seem to care. >> so what should the president, the white house, the administration be doing to deal with this terror threat emanating from white sprem siffs? >> well, first you have to start throwing fuel on the fire. the president is daily throwing fuel this fire. he can't even for 24 hours after a speech yesterday in which he tried to pretend that he's against hatred and bigotry, hold his fire and act dignified long enough to visit the scenes of these terrible tragedies. we need leadership and steadfastness in the white house of the sort that i'm not sure this president knows how to deliver. beyond that, we need justice department and the fbi and our intelligence community, hoke law enforcement, all fixated on this as an e-americaning serious threat to our national
