congregate around a gate and get blown up. >> you know my suggestion. i don't understand why you would put any weight on the august 31st date. i don't understand why biden did. i think he was duped by the media asking him gotcha questions and the fringe political base that worked against him. why did they ever play into that? oh, it's in the deal. the guys who made the deal say it's a joke. you never honored the deal. you didn't work on the deal. why honor it now and give the taliban that kind of respect? the cia guy goes to meet with the taliban guy, comes out, next thing biden says is that is a real date. what does it tell you about the meeting? >> it says nothing about the deal. i completely agree. a deal doesn't matter if it involves the security of american citizens. if you can extend the deadline and get people out i don't care what we told the taliban. these are people who go into stadiums and assassinate people for doing things like stealing. >> what i'm saying, phil, is how come this isn't the dialogue? look, i know you think you'll be in charge here. that never happens until we leave. you know it.
