And hopefully they get a text message. how are they supposed to get through taliban lines to begin with? theres no plan to evacuate ten or 15,000 americans and he would think that the last thing he would do is turn out the airbase and right now we have thousands of our countrymen trapped behind enemy lines at risk of being taken hostage by the taliban at any time. president trump, moments away but for us joining us former cia station chief contributor dan hoffman and former white house chief of ...

Over a country. >> harris: emily? >> emily: i see the common denominator here. no matter what angle we are covering come of this administration ignored the warning. ignored the mornings of the inevitability to the speed of this catastrophe it was predictable and ignored the pleas. ignored the internal recognition to make recommendations not to close the airbase after plan after plan for evacuation preparation. we know that he has failed in policy and decision-making, and now hes failing in stren...

0 >> adam laxalt.com. >> tucker: before we go there is new questions and new evidence about how ilhan omar got citizenship. that marriage, and theres an investigation on that. see you tomorrow. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." we begin with what is chilling a fox news alert. in moments the 45th president of the end of the states donald trump states donald trump will joining us live on camera to respond to the gut wrenching disaster that is now unfolding inside afghanistan as 10,000 plus american c...

I think what has been striking today is the extent to which the american leadership are trying to put themself on the front foot by saying that that all we are doing and we have got hourly flights coming out of afghanistan and we have got 4000 troops patrolling the afghan airbase and we are going to get seven to 9000 people out of afghanistan in the course of the coming days. so that is what america is trying to do. butjoe biden went to the american people promising empathy, promising competence...

When you think about afghanista where i spent a lot of time between 24 in 2012, 11 assignments there. to think that you have an airbase, up wonderful impenetrable fortress of an airbase that can land and any size. you keep the kabul airport, which is in a big depression. its in a horrible plays and no the principal at all. it shows how absolutely incompetent that are in the united states embassy. i was in the united states embassy when there was a mortar attack on the embassy. i was with brian c...

To us why the u.s. military left to the airbase when there was still so many people that needed to be evacuated. that seems like an unforced error, and leaving them very vulnerable to rely on the international airport. the military went into this withdrawal really with plans, expecting that it would be months, if not two years or maybe a year before the taliban would take over. no one expected that they would take over in a matter of six days. speech you now trying to get these people out, jake ...

Suddenly going to get the word from their leaders to let them in and not have any problem, and thats the white house plan, thats stunning to me. and i think there are a number of things said and not press briefing, which just shock to me. i think the false equivalency that you had the decision to leave 2500 troops, get the evacuation to happen. and then pull the troops out, once you lose the airbase, that changes the dynamic. now youre trusting that taliban, who just recently put out a statement...

Airbase in the middle of the night, that had a hard perimeter, a defended perimeter. why did we limit ourselves. to a single runway. urban commercial airport, so close to the city center of kabul? >> well you went right to the heart of that one. the thinking behind this withdrawal, was rapid, inadequate, and i dont think anyone really understood, the afghan security forces would come apart, they dont let courage, theyve had tens of thousands killed in action. they collectively decided, the u.s. ...

Disperse. instead they ran along and clung to the undercarriage of military transport plane, as it taxied for takeoff. when u.s. military official told, me it was 100 times worse, than the humiliating american pull out from saigon. afghans are running from the taliban, now in full control. today setting up checkpoints, with the very weapons american taxpayers bought for the afghan army, which collapsed instead of fighting. after the u.s. pulled out basis, and left them without air support. in th...

Deployments. china is in the indo pacific after all, and having the airbase of bagram is a great asset, and we just threw it away. >> paul: any sign briefly, cliff, that the administration is reconsidering the total withdrawal and may introduce some assets like that? >> well, i hope thats the case as they see whats happening in terms of the humanitarian situation. they have agreed like to 19,000 visas for people who are very close with us, but there are many more than that, risk being beheaded i...
