reasons to continue to allow for some number of people to be able to transport out of the country, certainly american citizens. they've got to keep that airport open. they're a land-locked country. they can't operate in an economy without a functioning airport. these are all questions the biden administration will have to answer, how do you continue moving people out of that country even after our 2500 to 5,000 troops leave. >> do you think america should recognize the taliban? >> some are being asked to recognize opposition forces that aren't necessarily running the country. it makes the united states look pretty weak when we're recognizing people that are leaders of the government that aren't actually running the government. but it doesn't mean we shouldn't be talking to the taliban. even though we don't formally recognize them, we'll have to be in conversations with them, they'll have to know the result of their actions if they don't allow people to get out of the country.
