and we will help you get there. it s a sad fact. flights may be taking off, but access to that airport is a problem, even for americans. kylie atwood, thanks very much. president biden has been presented with contingency plans, but he is standing by that august 31st withdrawal deadline. cnn s jeremy diamond joins me from the white house. jeremy, i wonder, will anything move the president on this? i mean, if you have a line of buses of americans still can t get into the airport, that s americans, right? not to mention many afghans who are eligible for special immigrant visas who simply can t get to the airport because the taliban is not allowing access. that means, as a matter of fact, people will be left behind. is the president, in your reporting, movable on this? reporter: look, i think that they the white house has been trying to insist they are nimble on this, that the president is going to continue to watch the facts on the ground. but increasingly what we re hearing from
