The attack occurring at the abbey gate where thousands of been gathering to get into the airport to try to leave the country, the Second Attack happening at the baron hotel nearby. Americans have gathered there in the past for rescue and evacuation. He was general mckenzie says airport checkpoints are dangerous assignments for servicemembers. The danger is very real. We expect those attacks to continue. We assist the threat is high right now. We know isis would like to go after those aircraft. Theyve taken shots of those aircraft on occasion. Isis claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 60 afghans and left 40 injured. This came after the state department warned americans outside airport gates to leave due to the increasing terrorist threat. Officials say they expect further attempted attacks ahead of tuesdays deadline. We have to check people before they get to the appeal and make sure they are not carrying a bomb or any weapon that could make its way to an aircraft. We share versions of this information with the taliban and so they can do some searching and some attacks have been thwarted by them. Reporter the general telling reporters the us is prepared to take action against those responsible and insisting the evacuations will not be slowed by the bombings, 100,000 people have been evacuated since august 14th, British Forces are in the final stages of evacuating people from kabul. Britains Defense Ministry says processing facilities were closed and no one else will be called to the airport for evacuations. Jillian thanks so much. The president vows to avenge the death of 13 us troops and many afghans after the isis k terror attack but still stands by his decision to withdrawal. Carley the political fallout of the deadly bombing. It took several hours for the white house to formulate a response to this attack. An unusually long time. When the president emerged at the white house he had a warning for those who carried out the attack. President biden to those who carried out this attack, no this. We will not forgive, we will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay. Reporter the reaction has been swift, there were calls for the president s resignation, for his impeachment and critics in both parties say this withdrawal has been mishandled. Al qaeda or isis externalizes attacks meaning do it on the homeland sooner and later. This is what weve allowed to happen, we need to fix it. We need to go on offense. That is what i want to see happen. Not sure mister biden has the stomach for it. Reporter the bombshell report out of politico that has been confirmed with fox news, the allegation is the us was providing names of individuals to the taliban, names of people who needed to get out of the country. These may be names of afghans who assisted the us military. These could become death warrants because we know the taliban has been targeting some of these people and they were provided the names. The president was asked about this after he made a statement. He said the buck stops with you. Do you bear any responsibility . President biden i been responsible for all that has happened. Of late. You stand by your decision to pull out . President biden yes. It was time to end a 20 year war. The thing we were waiting for the president to say is he did in fact confirm names may have been provided to the taliban and. This will be a big issue in the days ahead. The president will be briefed by his National Security team later this morning. Jillian thank you. Senators hong kong warned against President Bidens august 31st withdrawal deadline saying it would empower the taliban and. Reporter the news tonight gives an example white is so illadvised for President Biden to be rushing to the august 31st deadline. They were told to leave because of a terrorist threat. Lets hope is not a terrorist attack, the safety of our troops, the fact the President Biden sticking to this august 31st deadline indicates all it takes is for the taliban, isis or al qaeda to continue these threats to prevent hundreds if not thousands of americans from being left behind enemy lines. Reporter as of yesterday a state Department Spokesperson confirmed 1000 americans are still in afghanistan trying to evacuate. Lets bring in corey mills, u. S. Army combat veteran and Foreign Policy analyst who is on the ground in afghanistan. Lets thank you for being here, and everything you are doing. Can you give us an update on what you are seeing the situation is like on the ground . Let me say my thoughts and prayers go to this important incident that could have been prevented in many ways had the Biden Administration looked at a proper withdrawal. The taliban and set up checkpoints. There was no out of report on the stand off from hia. We witness ourselves when they come in or come in as an american, americans were met through an being ransomed at the checkpoint by advisors or having passport stripped away in some cases, beaten and allowed to continue forward. The real issue is there is no coordination how they were going to go ahead and do this and that those coming out of the airport. Right next to the gate, the old compound which has been a safe haven for many programs offered in afghanistan that was being overrun and no rhyme or reason how they close off and push people away. Incident cases i was not there to see it personally but americans were let in and when the gates became overrun these americans were pushed outside putting them back out to the wall and this was poorly orchestrated and the adversary timelines. What do you think of this idea of sharing into with the taliban and and the fact there are reports that names were provided to the taliban. I understand what you are saying and operating without how a man, the first checkpoints people go through but so many people wonder how we got to the point that we are sharing information and intel with the taliban and. Secretary pompeo had a conditionsbased agreement handed over to the Biden Administration and while i am all for americans getting out of afghanistan we dont need to be in a sustained war for 20 plus years, we have to do that in a way to establish that from being a safe haven of terrorism doesnt completely arise again. Every strength for appreciation or the table to create perfect Case Scenario for withdrawal. The deadliest day for us troops in more than a decade since august of 2011. This is a grueling task for this working day in and day out under tough conditions under a lot of threats, very intense threats. What is a loss of life like this do for them and how do you see operations ongoing . I understand they are tough it out there and want to save every single life as they possibly can but the time is winding down. A doubleedged sword by loss of any brothers and sisters, at the same time we want to make sure it doesnt occur again, the proper safe haven stand out enabling aircraft to come out and essentially get this and this is why the approach, you have a great foundation, americans coming in, working ground Assault Forces capacity continuing to evaluate giving them a safe haven, this is being done by those making a difference because the Biden Administration is incapable of things the foundations at this time. The deadline is approaching the president said past the deadline we are going to keep our promise to get every american out but how do you see that being possible without a blueprint on the ground . It is not possible. Majority of the evacuations are going to occur, former soft members, tier 1 elements, to choose together a plan, to northern kabul or Helicopter Assault force or a red line to get them out. The Biden Administration in my opinion has not looked every single american out when they are preventing, welded two of the gates of the four gates at Kabul National airport shut which means to make further but also creating the next target price escapee or the television itself because it is down to two entry points. Foreign policy analyst, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. 4 12 on the east coast, following breaking developments on the terror attack.

We could easily, as simple as telling them we are coming out, anyone with a gun we will kill them and find out people and bring them out and not giving them a timeline, doesnt matter what they think. We used to be the Strongest Military in the world and we can do that again whenever we want. Frustration mount as President Biden stays the course with his selfimposed evacuation deadline after the deadly isis attack outside the gates of kabul airport. Eight tours in afghanistan with the marine corps. You heard rob oneill say we need to stay and fight. A lot of my military friends share the sentiments. What about you . We dont have to negotiate with terrorist. I dont know when americans started negotiating with terrorists, we have a duty to american citizens and our allies. We have the largest hostage crisis in American History and the Strongest Military force in the world. We dont need a timeline, we dont need to negotiate. We need a strong president will set up on television and warn the taliban we are coming to get our people. Get out of the way or there will be consequences and we need to do it. We have every bit of military might and capability of getting it done and the president has chosen not to, turned his back on the American People at our allies. Like chris was saying, your last guest. Im in an undisclosed country in the middle east, with amazing teammates, special operations community, and in the last 6 days 5289 people, we are doing it by ourselves. We shouldnt be doing this, we will keep doing it but we should not be here doing it, the military should be doing it. Jillian you serve eight tours in afghanistan and personally involved in these types of evacuations. Can you walk us through what the evacuation situation looks like for not only the military but also people they are evacuating in kabul . I jumped out a lot of them. Very Close Relationships with interpreters we work through and right now we are we have joint Operations Command center in washington dc and one in the middle east, thousands of emails of people trying to get out. We have a team in washington dc segregating them out to triage them and in the middle east coordinating the ground team outside the wire on target and targeting people who want to rescue, moving in, two different methodologies and flying them out with the use of charter planes and military aircraft to a safe location in the last 6 days over 5000 safely out. Last question how do you see this playing out in the coming days. A lot of people share the same concern that there will be more terror attacks on us soil in the coming days and years ahead. How does this play out until the august 31st deadline . There is no way this ends good. The attacks will continue. Anyone who has read a history book and knows afghanistan always chases their enemies out, attack their enemies on the way out. They will continue attacks. It is isis now. The white house covering for the taliban. Isis, taliban, all the same because they are in partnership. Isis claims everything, isis will claim it. Isis claims everything and they will keep doing this until we leave and afterwards they have free reign on 10,000 plus american citizens and our allies. This is horrific and it will not end good. America still needs to act in the white house needs to act, they need to help the refugees we already got out. The state department has been absent in helping these refugees. Jillian good luck wherever you are and thanks for your service. Thank you so much. Jillian 22 after the hour, us troops deployed to afghanistan after the 9 11 attacks, 20 years later many feel the troop withdrawal he raced every progress made. A 9 11 survivor shares his thoughts next. Jillian flags that us capital flying at half staff on the lives of 13 brave servicemembers and others who died at the terror attack on kabul airport. The 20 year war ends with more. And the taliban is back in power. Tim, thank you for being here, tell me where you were and what you saw. Real briefly, as opposed to talking about myself it is important we talk about the issues. I was in the south tower 20 years ago. Carley you were at your desk on the eightieth floor, you helped people and made your way back down and you are alive to talk about this today but i am curious, 20 years later when you think about what you experienced that day, everything that happened in the last 20 years, seen events that unfolded in the last two weeks. It is this heartening. The taliban worked without heidi in planning the attacks of september 11th. From places like afghanistan, President Biden is in a unique position, the 9 11 families are hoping that President Biden will release documents concerning saudi complicity in those attacks. We know that if you dont have saudi support behind the taliban 20 years ago, there is no taliban and the taliban has hosted usama bin laden in 2001, from the kingdom of saudi arabia. Jillian lets talk about what is going on today, watching the events that unfolded over there. Afghan allies risked their lives, trying to get out and you saw the suicide attacks yesterday with 13 servicemembers using their lives. Im curious if you think everything we have done the last 20 years has been for not. You hear people saying, and and how do you feel about that. Im grateful that we havent been attacked as most americans know. It appears as if we have a hotbed developing in afghanistan, and that is something im very much aware of. The other thing it is important that the truth regarding what happens and who is behind these attacks comes forward. President biden is in another unique position to make that happen. To implicate the saudis and the idea they were fighting the taliban as well as al qaeda. Jillian thank you for giving us your thoughts. Carley many as 1000 american still trapped in afghanistan and even after dozens including us troops were killed in the kabul bombings, President Biden is sticking with deadlines. Congressman jack borman is one of many lawmakers pleading with the president next. Jillian fox news alert, us troops bracing for more isis attacks, 13 servicemembers killed in two suicide bombings outside the kabul airport. Carley the first detonated where thousands gathered, the country, the Second Attack happened nearby at the ba
