Who i fear, the girls and women we tried to get into the airport and those who work alongside special forces have bullseye on their back. john, ive had a lot of calls from interpreters from over there. theyre terrified. the taliban is hunting them down, as i speak, when they find them, they take them to their families, decapitate their families in front of them and then they execute them. this is gruesome stuff. the idea this is professional businessman-like people, i dont know what they are thi...

A huge moment in his time as secretary of state, for better or for worse and i did like the dynamics better in person. it needs to be treated with respect especially since we lost american lives, 13, and 18 wounded. but it felt like a bipartisan shellacking to me. it felt like yesterday was longer time limits. and i think that thats something that the biden administration is prepared for. they know what the polling looks like on this and theyre going to show up and theyre going to take it. >> da...

He could not explain how he is going to get american citizens behind enemy lines out. the interpreters as you mentioned are being executed right now by the taliban. and when i asked them about what are we doing about intelligence and surveillance recognizance, i as our capabilities, we have no eyes and ears on the ground in afghanistan. i did start. and we cant see russia, china, and iran as well. and when i asked him about this, and i asked him that president putin threatens the united states o...

Our people and left 100 americans stranded they are hostages, 100% hostages and the problem is they admitted yesterday they dont know who all is there. there is no listing of them and the only solution is to blame it on trump. trump is not in the white house anymore. start leading, get in and drive or get out of the way. >> they have been saying that 100 number for several days now so you are right, they dont know how many americans, interpreters are there. thank you for joining us this morning,...

Answering the call to get them help? >> well, were gone. we have no title to military presence, no title 50 military presence. what we did have were heroes, i call them, operations like dunkirk and pineapple that we as parallel organization privately funded, we were able to get thousands, thousands of interpreters and thousands of american citizens out of afghanistan, when our own state department would not authorize to open the gate into the airport, four bus loads of little girls, orphans, afg...

Attaches against other people. >> mr. secretary, in the weeks before the fall of kabul, i was on the phone with very high ranking officials at state, dod white house trying to save live. we had americans that couldnt get out. we had interpreters that couldnt get through the perimeter of the taliban. they are left behind. they will be executed. they do have a bulls eye on their back. we had four buses of afghan girls, organs at the american university school of music that sat there for 17 hours w...

To stand with those who stood with us. i have a friend who was in and out of afghanistan a lot. he had a number of interpreters. he was attempting to get one of his interpreters out, not in kabul, but he didnt get him out because the taliban took him into custody, brought all of his family together, brought together witnesses and then killed him in front of his family before killing every member of his family except the 10-year-old daughter who was given to a taliban warrior as an arranged bride...
