Die, people will be left behind. so, when do you think the u.s. should pull out? >> well, i think we should be talking to the g7 our nato allies. we know the brits, the germans do not want us to evacuate on august 31st. they would prefer we extend that. i think what the president has done by solidifying this in stone, this is the absolute last day. i can tell you we had a classified briefing with the secretary of state defendant, chairman of the joint chiefs. we dont even know how many americans...

They admit mistakes. they know this is a dangerous situation going on in afghanistan. and president biden tells us something different. he tells us that everything is okay. that it is under control. so either joe biden is lying to us or he is not in touch with the team that just briefed us in the room. and that is a shame as well. so with that, i yield to representative walls from florida, a fellow afghanistan veteran. >> i served multiple tours in afghanistan as a green beret underground. and t...

They are actively encouraging female employees go back to work and indeed some have done so. all of this adding to an air of deep uncertainty about what the future holds for afghans. thank you very much for coming on the programme. lots of developments today. first of all, what is your reaction to this idea of the deadline, the end of the month that it doesnt seem like that is going to budge. what you make of that decision? i’m is going to budge. what you make of that decision?— that decisio...

Is all on the united states to do all of the evacuations. are any of our nato allies attempting to get people out or is this an all u.s. military all by itself operation? >> the operations here very much so represent the way this war was fought. there are militaries from all over the world here. its surreal when youre walking on the street outside the airport here. you have british soldiers who are heavily involved in pulling people out of the crowds, in sorting through, getting them over to the...

Laura logan was on with tucker carlson last night and she pointed out the biden administration and the taliban are on the same page when it comes to who is in charge of the situation and that should disturb everyone. take a listen. >> the most important thing that i think americans should understand is this countrys enemies and the biden administration want you to accept that nothing can be done. that this outcome you see where the united states is humiliated, defeated and shamed on the world st...

Fellow citizens helpless to the whims of the radical terrorist group and the taliban.nd the only way any american can even make it to the airport is if and only if the taliban allows them and theyre not allowing everybody.ba you know what else is irresponsible? abandoning interpreters and translators and drivers, each one that put their necks on the line to help u.s. troops over the 20 year period of time. now the frenchel president emmanuel macron is now lecturing biden and accusing him of mora...

The united states decision to get out of your country the way we did? >> this is a question about me, about what i know. there are a lot of u.s. citizens, a lot of interpreters, a lot of people who have worked with the united states that are stranded outside the airport. what you hear on the news and from the taliban, that is 100% not true. they go door-to-door. they target people. they know who they are. sooner or later they will be targets. so we need to step up and get these people out as soo...
