Dont have a lot of precision on the issue of the number of americans left in afghanistan who want to leave. we dont have a good understanding of the number of siv people who are left who want to leave. and so i think that the good news is that were evacuating people at a rapid clip, but the more challenging news is im still unclear as to how long its going to take to get everyone out at this point. >> if youre still unclear on that, do you believe the administration is clear on what they would n...

Putting on the floor is giant inflation-driving spending bills. $3.5 trillion, which is actually closer to really $6 trillion if the math is done correctly as well as that $1 trillion of infrastructure spending. thats what theyre talking about right now. its wasteful spending at a time when we dont need it. and in a time we all need to be focused on whats going on in afghanistan, as you noted, there is bipartisan outrage over this august 31st deadline. this is self-imposed deadline biden made it...

Administration has such a profound resistance to using what is clearly a major solution to a massive problem, that if they just took it, we could begin moving people quicker because we would have another place to bring them, we would have way more capacity to assist people, we could start flying more planes. this is just a matter of logistics and math. >> matt zeller, we thank you as always for taking time to talk to us as we continue to watch this developing situation. maybe some of the points ...

Much as i do, but i want to know if those functioning alcoholic moms had working husbands at home, because that number would have tripled from my professional opinion, because of my husband would get out of my basement, i probably would drink -- well, i would still drink, but maybe not 323% -- >> greg: [laughs] you hate your husband! >> no, no, i love alcohol. >> greg: kat, i did the math, basically 323%, its basically like going from 0 to 3 drinks. talking about day drinking, which is not a bad...

Today. we still expect the through-put that we saw in the last two days to be able to continue with no bottleneck at others. we continue to manage that on an hourly/minute basis so we know where to fly people to. >> do you have enough people in the airport compound now in kabul? >> i dont have the exact number. there are evacuees being processed through all stages of the process there to be ready to fly. >> you dont have the number? >> its -- i dont have the exact number. we have folks ready to ...

Ballpark of the number of people that would go if we would allow them to do so. so theres is -- may be a bigger problem the state department has admitted. they dont know how many americans are there and they dont know how many sivs are there. so i think the problem could be considerably bigger than the white house has been talking about. >> neil: so general, im doing the rough math in my head here as a resident nerd at fox. lets say its 250,000. then we are trying to get 5,000, search,000 out pe...

Have anything to do beyond some of these delay tactics to keep this from passing. the math just isnt there for them. but i will say the will appears to still be there at this point. >> and what happens after the committee vote? >> so just like any other bill, it will go to the full house. now, if they have a quorum there on the floor, it will likely pass along party lines. but a little bit of a new step that the house put in talking about during the committee hearing this morning saying they wan...

Lets get that done, not wait months, not risk it. >> i hear that. >> and move through reconciliation. >> its the math of the votes. sadly, i wonder have you spoken to speaker pelosi? >> i think theyll be there, the votes. weve talked. i think the votes from all of our caucus voted on infrastructure today they would all be there. no one is going to vote against 2 million jobs a year and fixing -- significant investments in the fight against climate, electric vehicles, fixing the largest investmen...

Republic of korea aircraft have been used. we had, as you said today, a lot of countries have we appreciate that. but we dont have the number off hand. thank you very much. >> all right. >> thanks, john. i wanted to ask if you were given the short amount of time left, just seven days. are you going to allow private charters to start landing in greater numbers at daily to pick up afghans at risk? because even by conservative math you cant possibly move all the american citizens out in just seven ...

Good in math. >> lets try. >> ive never been good in math. i go into a math class or economics class at the university of alabama and id be sleeping in the back row after i goat through my "sports illustrated" issue. but i dont understand this lieutenant governors numbers. he said he was misquoted. he said, quote, the biggest group in most states are black people. and yet in the state of texas, only one in ten covid deaths in texas, only 10%, are actually black people right now. his numbers are ...
