JESSE WATTERS (HOST): As long as there's an American stranded — and these pictures keep coming in of Taliban hitting people, of people screaming, chaos — that's going to be a big, dark cloud that's going to hang over his head. And you got open borders; you got crime; you got gas prices. This is just a nasty mix of things that — a lot of this stuff didn't need to happen. 

KAYLEIGH MCENANY (CO-HOST, OUTNUMBERED): Right. We are eight months into a Biden presidency, Jesse, wrap your head around that. We still have three years and four months left.

Look, when President Trump was president, you didn't see crisis after crisis. You just didn't see it. I — I shudder to think about what COVID would have been like under Joe Biden. We've seen Afghanistan blow up, crime in the streets, you named it all. What would COVID have been like? Because I was in the White House when it was pretty scary times. We weren't sure if we'd have enough ventilators. But we were able to produce it with the private sector. I watched President Trump oversee a vaccine in record time, produce four working therapeutics. Do you think Joe Biden could have done any of that? The answer is absolutely not. The guy was five hours and 20 minutes late to his speech today.
