I have spent a lot of time over the last number of weeks, and my staff has, trying to get our american employees out. and now were still trying to get our afghan colleagues who helped us out. and its been very frustrating. and its also very disturbing. but, you know, the job of an ig is to not make friends. a good igs speaks truth to power. and i think thats what weve done. we are a bit frustrated, im a bit frustrated that after all of these reports, we have written, that people are now saying t...

Administration seems to be allowing the taliban to dictate terms here. >> were going to get everyone that we can possibly evacuate evacuated. and ill do that as long as we possibly can until the clock runs out or we run out of capability. >> we will get out as many as possible. >> clock runs out when you say it runs out. and as many as possible is all of them. thats what is possible. bring them all home. now, the worst sign for the fate of many of your fellow citizens stranded in a heldslscape i...

Bureaucratic hurdle. they dont necessarily have just a master list of all of the people once they get there to the airport. so the two things that stuck out for me from todays briefing, number one it is very clear that they have a capacity to take thousands of people out every day, and despite the fact that they got about 2,000 people out in the last 24 hours, it seems as if they had the capacity, the air lift capability to get out more than they took out. the second thing that i found interesti...

>> and youre confident were going to have that in afghanistan? >> yeah, im confident were going to have the overriding capability. the deal is the threat from al qaeda and their associate organizations is greater in other parts of the world to the united states than it is from afghanistan. >> and that tells you that its safe to leave? >> no, that tells me that we should be focusing on where the threat is the greatest. and the idea we can continue to spend a trillion dollars and have tens of thou...

And just prior to that interview becoming public. in fact, it was secretary austin who said he would keep evacuating americans until the clock runs out. a very different sort of message than what the president said, and as you saw in the back and forth with george stephanopoulos, the only question the presidents taken on this subject since the fall of kabul that he had stressed his belief that the evacuations could be completed before august 31st and in the back and forth, ultimately said no ame...

The airport, bash? barb? >> this new gate that you opened, are the taliban outside of that gate or are they letting people of afghans and u.s., people with u.s. documentation through that new gate? and have you been able to keep very specifically all of your gates, including camp sullivan, on your side? have you been able to keep them open? or have you had to close camp sullivan. have you had to close any gates? >> that gives the commander greater capability and it allows us to open more gates a...
