10:03 pm
network we begin with the latest on afghanistan edward lawrence is at the white house with more. >> the president early this afternoon backing up why he will not move the july or august 31 deadline to remove all american troops out of afghanistan right now the military is evacuating americans as well as those who help the u.s. allies over the past 12 years leaders of the united kingdom, france, germany publicly asked the president to move the deadline because of operations they have going on president biden standing firm linking himself with the rest oe the g7 even though they question the deadline. >> we agree legitimacy of any future government depends on the approach it now takes to uphold international obligations including to prevent afghanistan as a base for terrorism and we agree that none of us are going to take the taliban's word for it, we will judge them by their
10:04 pm
actions. >> still in a statement the white house state department ane pentagon asked for contingency plans just in case the deadline has to be moved the president also says the evacuation depends on continued cooperation with the taliban republicans cannot believe the administration's plan has fallen apart so quickly. >> i have called this consistently an unmitigated disaster of effort proportions it will be a stain on this presidency in particular after decision made today and what we heard today he will have blood on his hands, people are going to die and left behind the biggest creed on the military is no ma'am left behind, no one left behind and as precisely that's what were doing. >> the president said the reason foran leaving afghan and coble because the mission objectives have been achieved.
10:05 pm
elizabeth: edward lawrence thank you so much joining me now deputy advisor kt mcfarland and rob o'neill he's a former navy seal who killed osama bin laden, first to you can we get the thousands of americans out now, how would you do it? >> we see a lot of marines and second airborne at the airfield and let the taliban no i'm amazed were telling the taliban giving them permission until he never going to kill everyone with a gun and is not going to take one day it'll take a number of weeks and every time we meet the taliban we crush them and we need to do it again and it's time for the administration to admit we were wrong to pullout and now were going to fix it because i'm a big believer it doesn't matter how you got where you're going, you're just bitter now and were here now and we have people who really need us with the coalition.
10:06 pm
elizabeth: you hear what rob is saying but the white house is saying the road to thes kabul airport is blocked inow the whie house does not know how many americans are stranded and expected to be several thousand, fears that they cannot reach the kabul airport in time the u.s. embassy saying there will be delays due to checkpoints, get out there and do it in on your own, rob is saying something entirely different, what do you say? >> rob is right it's inconceivable to me that a president of the united states is leaving american citizens behind in afghanistan knowing what awaits them, he's doing it why, he's trusting the word of the taliban, taking orders from the taliban about getting the american military at a certains point, we have american citizens all over afghanistan, the not distant kabul and working for the u.s. government, the people the girls and part of afghanistan, where one or two or
10:07 pm
three civilians who will be working on a farming project, these people are alone and they have no way of getting to kabul. airport it's not like you get in your car and drive from washington to boston, these are people no wave from getting one place to another and even if they had a car to drive to the cobbler airport they would be stopped every mile or two, everybody in afghanistan has ak-47 and looking for americans abroad, my concern, i'm getting it logically from the administration theyro keep sayig were gonna evacuate all americans who want to leave in their definition of who wants ti leave are the people who get themselves to kabul airport in time by august 31. elizabeth: so this is going to be a clinton moment depending oa what the word is the really gonna go there you hear what kt
10:08 pm
is saying and you can see what trump's position was his plan was nato and the un security council says the asset that plan, it's conditions cut off ties with al-qaeda and when you have a plan you will count for americans ahead of time that's what kash patel is saying biden dump the plan and did not have a plan now we are democrat house intelligence chair adam schiff saying its unlikely evacuations will be done by august 31 and they cannot account for every american, d.c. was going on. >> isn't it crazy there already making excuses knowing that they screwed up and knowing they can tfix it to but we always knew on the ground t eventually were goa have to negotiate the taliban at some point because they're just there in the right across the border with pakistan the entire time they have been planning this entire time but we need toe give them conditions and certainly don't want them to surround the airport, they're giving us a timeline and an ultimatum which is complete nonsense, these are not good people and they should be
10:09 pm
treated as a legitimate government which were doing and doing everything that they want because i'm convinced a lot of people in the administration of the pentagon know when we get everyone out there will be more anymore television and internet and afghanistan, number social media will forget what cordon bleu and not think about the people who are getting their heads cut off in front of the family. elizabeth: also this the humann. commissioner is saying there is a rise, and the united nations is saying arise industry execution happening right now including sexual assault and more, biden's approval rating plunging nearly ten percentage points and historic fall in just one week to 41%. new usa today university poll shows that, the majority say they disagree with how he's handling this, when you see that and see the way when republican ben sasse is saying tell the taliban were getting everyone
10:10 pm
out as long as it takes, damn the deadline, that which you want to call them? >> yes and that would probably also say you have the head of one american we will get you and your family and your cousins and everybody else, you do not do this to americans. i really worry about what happens next. i think the price of this, the biden presidency is finished, he will never be able to reclaim the confidence you have an american president, he's been seen to be what he is he's incompetent and incoherent and uncaring, his presidency issh finished. i don't want america to be finished i don't want this to be the inflection point where all the countries in the world like the g7 to talk to president biden today and they were not going to follow american anymore and much less us were adversaries now take advantage and the role of foreign policy if your adversary is weak or distracted or in trouble of any
10:11 pm
sort that's when you make your move china makes its move on taiwan within the next couple months knowing that they will mget no response and no pushbak from the biden administration that will have a ramification that the united states will be living with for 100 years. elizabeth: it is clear, by the way kt mentioned the g7 and the u.s. allies in nato are shocked and outraged of what's going on biden assured them in june 2 months ago it would be a stable withdrawal, that did not happen it was nato that invoked article five after 9/11 saying one members attack we are all attacked it is clear the press has had it with dissembling in the pre-variation, watch jake sullivan he is refusing to commit the biden will secure kabul airport until every american is out and watching the cbs reporter asked the pentagon spokesman using deliberately
10:12 pm
vague on the number of americans still stranded. watch this. >> is the president decided whether he is going to need more time beyond august 31 to get all u.s. personnel and afghan people out of the country? >> as i said, the president believes were making substantial progress, the broader point i would make, we have been able to take advantage of officers throughout this building and around the world. interested i'm just interested in answering the question, are you still sending people there? >> a matter of checking the number, can you do that and get it to us or if you're being deliberately vague, tell me why you are being deliberately vague. >> i'm going to leave it at several thousand right now. elizabeth: that is what is so shocking they don't know how many americans are stranded y there, they are saying you're on your own, make your way to the airport, what happened.
10:13 pm
>> i don't think they know exactly how many are there, in theory project how many are there exactly but is something for being deliberately vague because that's what they do and they get a free pass for most of the media but you cannot deny what's happeningt we get people fallen because it's better to hold onto a landing gear of a jack 1150 miles an hour then live with the taliban, kt made a great point, i'd be really nervous if i was taiwan because china is going to make some moves in china doesn't mess around when china fights china kills in taiwan is going to be the aligned australians and the japanese tot help them, would yu want to be a source for the united states right now and stand up to the united states inevitably back out and leave you to die, not just die but die really, really bad? elizabeth: kt mcfarland, rob o'neill thank you both for your service to our country, good to have you on up next for counter

trump nathan sales, great to have you want, your reaction to that. >> it isn. heartbreaking and i think it shows the real disconnect between what people were saying in washington and the reality on the ground in kabul were hearing rosy predictions about the ability to get everybody out on time it is not going to happen we are b leaving people behind in americans behind, we will be leaving afghan translators and soldiers who fought alongside their american brothers and sisters, that is no way to run a withdrawal. elizabeth: adam schiff chair of the house intelligence committee who is a democrat he said it's very unlikely all will be evacuated by august 31, lawmakers are outraged, both sides of the aisle, lack of accountability pre-very kate inducible by biden and his team and his spokesman including i sullivan, price, jen psaki and

harm's way because today when the president decided were leaving on the 31st come hell or high water he signed a death warrant for the people who are going to be left behind. elizabeth: the u.s. government telling americans in afghanistan you have to get yourself to the airport let's watch press secretary jen psaki first say she doesn't know how many americans have been evacuated in behind terrorist lines and then try to claim it's the responsible to say they are stranded. >> i know my colleague jen kirby said a few thousand americans have been evacuated earlier today, the vast majority have been afghans given the size of the population that we are moving outut and i'm happy to follow up after the briefing and see what information we can achieve. >> most of it criticism is not of leaving afghanistan, it's the way that he has ordered it to happen by pulling the troops before getting the americans who are now stranded.
10:22 pm
>> into responsible to say americans are stranded, they are not. >> there is no american stranded, the white house official division on what's happening in afghanistan. elizabeth: let's show cbs, washington post, the new york times according to yes americans are stranded, what would jen psaki call if she can't get her children because of the taliban which he call it babysitting is this a global hostage crisis? >> that is a real fear and ask any americans whose desperately trying to break taliban checkpoint and gaslight of freedom whether they feels stranded and they probably give you a different answer from what we heard from the white house. if we don't't get americans oute will see them again and hostage videos put out by the taliban, the taliban and al-qaeda have been taken americans hostage for years, with 15000 of our fellow countrymen inen harm's way, we'e
10:23 pm
got to get them out because if we don't the taliban are going to go door to door, hunt them down and t find them and we will not like what happens next. elizabeth: guess what happens next the administration is freezing afghanistan's assets at the federal reserve and elsewhere and blocking funds at the imf don't you see a hostage crisis coming they will say will take an american and you have to unfreeze the box for us. thank you for joining us we really appreciate it, up next mitra shell, the house republican minority leader says speaker pelosi instead of working the phone trying to get the spending and strive against the attacks plan that you want, try working the phones into every americans from afghanistan, that story next. >> have trained other tax increase in the massive spending program is a disaster for the country. ♪
