u.s. citizens are not reaching out to anyone and everyone back in washington for help. at the biden administration must move on to rescue them before it's too late. as a country, we need to pray to god that it is not too late. with every passing hour and everyy passing day we got closer and closer to what could be possibly meth hostage situation and the number one priority of the biden administration, every american, as we speak at this hour there's no plan to rescue our fellow citizens let alone our allies let alone the translators that were promised by our government that at this moment ever came were protected by us, and there is no plan whatsoever. and even worse, they would commit to securing the airport past august the 31st even if fellow americans are trapped inside. >> if we offer any guarantee to the americans and afghan allies that if they remain there past the end of the month, and our focus right now is undoing the work at hand and the task at hand and that his day by day, getting as many american citizens, as many applicants and those eligible to be evacuated to the airport on planes. that's the secretary of state and everybody on the national security team so that's where we will keep our b1 jen psaki ignored this for three straight days as they have both been on vacation. they seem totally clueless and oblivious to what was beo unfolding behind the eye to see. if you are afraid for your life end of an afghanistan somehow seeing the showng come up with a you are an american or one of our allies you have good reason to feel that way. if you're a journalist whose life is at risk tonight like every other american, joe biden has no plan for you either. and this is political anyway. and every good and decent american, we want you all home safely. for whatever reason joe biden just didn't seem to care. and the odds were higher that you would be enslaved by the taliban. joe biden takes zero responsibility as we saw yesterday. you see they are either heartless or completely checked out, you decide. until a few hours ago joe biden have not even spoken, and that's not even a single other world leader. keep in mind biden was warned over and over and over again. marco rubio told us last night that a strategy for withdrawal would end in this disaster. and that's been warning and ignored repeatedly. the decisions that were based on the ground when they were conducive because they are not conducive right now for what's happening. as this crisis is unfolding right and can only be bothered to put his vacation on pause for a short ten minute scripted speech where he blames everybody for this disaster and then set the box stopped with him and turned around and went right back on vacation. whereas the wall street journal editorial board and quite eloquently put it, bite into admin afghanistan on the americans there dropped dead.is even one formal cia analyst, i couldn't believe my eyes. msdnc was outraged and rightly so. speak about this controversial speech by the american president, didn't run from it, he owned it. h he owned his decision and on the fact that as he put it, the buck stops with him. >> i hope he owns their death, too. and more than the united states did in 20, when you are not getting paid on a regular basis, when you are not getting fuel, and yet it stilll showing up to the fight. we promised them in their time of need that we would take care of them, how do you ever expect to ever trust them if we don't do what we can. >> sean: joe biden has destroy the credibility around the world. china and russia are already cut deals with the new islamic emirates, and just two decades after 9/11 in 2001. we had them in custody and he was a prisoner at guantanamo bay. we have him and have no reason to release him, but he was released. in a swap, you might remember for army deserter bowe bergdahlf during the obama/biden administration. if you recall at the time they both assured all of us in america that they were going to cut her and whatever returned to afghanistan or terrorism ever again. but don't worry according to the biden administration, all americans can trust this terrorist to notus get them safe passage to the airport that they now have created a perimeter around and not allowing anyone alto get through. the one that is currently surrounded, the one that embassy workers were airlifted into. just days ago, none of this would happen and how could he be so wrong? that's a question we will be asking for a long time. take a look. >> is the t taliban takeover now inevitable? >> no it is not. because you have troops that have 300,000 as well-equipped as any army in the world, and in air force. something like 75,000 taliban. there is going to be no circumstance when you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the united states fromd afghanistan. >> sean: now this is a disaster in a massive scale with no end in sight. how we deal with this now? first with reaction, lieutenant colonel oliver north has been there many times and happen to be in vietnam is well with a couple of purple hearts to show for it.w we don't know how many people and we don't know where they all are. we know they can't get to the airport and planes aren't available and nobody seems to have any plan to get them out of there and it did not see this coming.co what do we do now? >> while there were people that saw it coming. let me go back to where we were. >> sean: you're right, i'm at the biden administration.e >> here are some real numbers. the number of american service members killed in afghanistan throughbe april 2nd, 2,448. u.s. contractors killed, 303,486. afghan national military and police, 66,273. anyone who says the afghan army wouldn't fight is lying to himself and the american people and of course the people of afghanistan. hwho you think are the gold str families in the united states will miss those americans who t were killed over the year, think about what it's like if you were an afghan and you lost your father and who lost her brother and you lost your sons. we promised them that we would stick it out. it turns out there's not just 10,000 interpreters, is close to 50,000 if you count their family members. we promised to take them out with us and that's not happening. there are lots of other things coming out in this administration. the other night, the president talked about over the horizon capabilities for dealing with those capabilities. air power but no search and rescue for downed pilots means it's useless, the unfounded and unfolded. the president actually said that. this unfolded faster than we expected. because he refused to take the advice of the cia and from his own staff. the bottom t line of it is, it unfolded faster than we expected and gives us more than what we expected.pe we hoped it was happening and 6-9 months, instead of six days. this administration has been deceiving us and the rest of the world. but that's not trues since he started losing the troops when he set the withdrawal date. the afghan military begins with him saying everyone has to be out by the 31st of august. the fact that the taliban does not have an air force, in fact they do now. some of thoseir aircraft were nt flown out of the country and some were disabled. there were people flooding to isis, radical islamists from all over the world. and again the comment about its wrong ordered american troops, it's absolutely an outrage, it's terrible. the freedom alliance that you helped, we got 500 college students, those who were killed and permanently disabled and the parents and brothers, for the kind of people that really were and they give their lives for the safety of this country. they didn't want to quit, many are volunteers who have been back multiplehe times. they are so despondent, i'm concerned that the suicide rate for our veterans which dropped from 22 through 20, and by organizations like freedom alliance encourage them not to take their lives and will starte to climb dramatically. ten days ago we had 2300 u.s. troops on the ground and now we have over 7,000 then we are looking for 10,000 americans. >> sean: at least. >> exactly, we don't know how many there really are. about that? and nobody gets out there to look for them because the taliban is protecting us. >> god help them and pray for them. first, afghanistan withdraws up their allies and the white house is forced to push back on chinese propaganda attacking the u.s. and taiwan or what they call reunification. here with reaction to that is arkansas senator tom cotton. chinese is now on the line with russia in providing arms to iran. they are threatening japan's military bases and we know they are talking about recognizing these new "islamic emirates of afghanistan" as quickly as possible. onop top of that we are talking about reunification which might end up being the takeover of taiwan. we now have all of our enemies seemingly trying to take advantage of what's going on here. how do we first save the lives of americans in afghanistan? >> you see the chinese propaganda that will reverberate for years to come but the immediate priority as you say is to get the americans trapped behind taliban lines out of afghanistan. joe biden told a bald-faced lie when he said they plan for every contingency. but they obviously did not because there are tens of thousands of americans god told him checkpoints. my office has been in contact with these people. at the taliban have checkpointsl all over the roads and control all access to it.at jill biden's administration won't even commit to that airport for two more weeks. and that's how the taliban is willingg to grant safe passage and it's a fiasco. it has grave, create threats for our future and really revealss, jill biden's impotence and incompetence to the world. >> sean: it is scary and how this can happen. we are h going to get our fellow americans out of there? >> i wish i could say that but based on what i've seen from the biden administration over the last twoth days is my office has worked to provide information to hundreds of americans and basically told us that they don't want us to contact them anymore. just send them to the website and hopefully they get a text message. how are they supposed to get through taliban lines to begin with? there's no plan to evacuate ten or 15,000 americans and he would think that the last thing he would do is turn out the airbase and right now we have thousands of our countrymen trapped behind enemy lines at risk of being taken hostage by the taliban at any time. president trump, moments away but for us joining us former cia station chief contributor dan hoffman and former white house chief of staff mike meadows. i've noticed mark meadows that joe biden has tried too blame this on -- let's see, the president of afghanistan and the troops of afghanistan that he assured us, and i have a number of sources that have told me that extraordinarily harsh and very clear language, if they dared step foot into any other region. >> i can tell you that he was not only straightforward in his conversations with the taliban, any u.s. asset and any u.s. personnel was actually harmed or in harm's way because of the taliban. he would put the full force and might of the department of defense really with them as the bull's-eye of this target. i can tell you that also for the blame to go president trump, not only will they take the withdrawal from afghanistan and doing it on aha more measured process, but we can do is put a blueprint out there for a bite into actually follow so no one was in harm's way. you know, one key points, you don't take out and withdrawal and leave 10,000 u.s. citizensd they are, you get this kind of debacle and it's nothing short of incompetent and not a lack of intelligence. it's a lack of acting on that intelligence that is soo troubling. >> sean: it wasn't followed at all but it was laid out. daniel hoffman, i have to believe, agencies have been telling us since last week. here are 60-90 days away and i was hearing that last week. how can you be so wrong? how can biden told the country that he had all this confidence in the afghan military, there was no confidence at all. how do you mess up that badly? they have intelligence for decades. >> i expect there are a lot of hearings to follow. to be in the hot seat and testifying before congress and explaining what kind of intelligence assessment they were providing the president but let's make it clear. it wasn't a secret that the government of afghanistan blacked legitimacy. only 2 million people voted in their last election, and there were significant problems of their military but as we've all noted repeatedly the last few days was when this administration chose to withdraw our forces, and that's what put our mission at risk in afghanistan. we don't have overland reconnaissance, and -- but we leave.ady to we were ready to do this and conditions on the ground where the main criteria for president trump straw down and ultimate changeover. but i've got to run, right now we do have the president on the line. thank you both. if mark meadows and dan hoffman. joining is now alive is the 45th president of the united states mr. donald j. trump. let me go back -- i have had a number of people tell me that they were very specific conditions and very specific warnings that you gave personally to the taliban, and joe biden is trying to blame w you. i'd like to first give you an opportunity to respond to that, your assessment of what's going on and what was that conversation to the extent that you are able to share it with us? >> it's good to be with you but it's terrible time for our country. i don't think in all of the years our country has ever been so h humiliated. i don't know. would you call it a military defeat or psychological defeat?l we can go back to jimmy carter with the -- that this is many times worse and you are doing with thousands and thousands of americans and others are stranded and very dangerously -- billy stranded in afghanistan. so it's something, you can't even believe that a thing t like this. i looked at that big monster cargo plane yesterday with people grabbing thehe side and trying to getrd flown out of afghanistan because of their fears are, incredible fear, and they are blowing off the plane from 2,000 feet in the air, no one has ever seen anything like that. that blows helicopters and vietnam away. this has been the most humiliating period of time i've ever seen. yes, we had a great deal and worked on it very hard. mike pompeo and many others worked on that, meetings with the taliban, of course. they had at once a year of negotiating and i spoke to numerous locations to the head of the taliban and we had a very strong conversation. i told him up front, i said look. before we start, let me tell you right now that if anything bad happens to americans or anybody else or if you ever come over to our land we will hit you with the force and country has ever been hit with before, a force so great that you won't even believeat it. and your village, and i named it, it will be dropped right there. and probably the top person, but i would say that's probably the top person and it seems to be, that's the way it's rolling right now. but i had a very strong conversation and i also had a good conversation with them. we talked for a while after that and that was the primary point i was making. and he understood it. i asked him, do you understand? and he said yes i do understand. i wanted him to get a deal done with the afghanit government. now i don't have a lot of confidence in connie, i said that openly and plainly, i thought he was a total creek and got away with murder, spent all his time wining and dining our senators. the senators were in his pocket, that was the problems that we had and i never liked him. i guess it was a true story, i would suspect it is. look at his lifestyle and he got away with murder in many different ways. this is what i would consider to be much more important in the sense that they were the problem. they were good fighters and they fought hard. you have to remember when they were coming to washington to meet with me they decided to kill an american soldier because they thought that was a good way to negotiate and i canceled the trip. we had a conditions base agreement. if you remember, it said may 1st we want to get out because we have to get out. i listen to people on your show and other shows say we should stay. but they don't know. we were spending 42 billion a year.li think of it, 42 billion. i understand russia spends 50 billion per year for their entire million, we were spending 42 billion, not 1%, that's nonsense. 42 billion on defending that for years and years. we've been there now for not 20 years but 21 and a half years and we get nothing out of any of the things that we do whether they spend that kind of money and then people say how inexpensive it was, and i have to tell you all so that we know soldiers in the last year and a half because of me and because of the understandin
