brand-new episode of tucker carlson today with the mark steyn for the hour. we will be back tomorrow night 8:00 p.m., the show that is the smart insincere enemy of lying, smugness, and groupthink. have a great night. now it's time for sean hannity. >> sean: joe biden has frankly humiliated the united states on the world stage. saigon circa 1975, steroids, former defense secretary and cia director leon panetta rightly calling it biden's bay of pigs and things to the ill-fated actions of our derelict low functioning president if you want to even say that, that is somewhat charitable. the absolute worst-case scenario has been playing out before our eyes, biden ignoring the advice in the counsel of his top u.s. military commanders.

we want to slow evacuation of u.s. troops based on conditions on the ground. ignore the warnings from our intel on the ground and now afghanistan has fallen to the islamic extremists, the taliban in record time. they just said last week it would be 90 days at the earliest and it was overrun in a matter of hours. taliban fighters are now in control of a massive stockpile of joe biden u.s. taxpayer paid for weapons and ammo, vehicles, other supplies abandoned during biden's hasty retreat. it wasn't even smart enough to take munitions out. terrorists from al qaeda and isis were freed from multiple prisons all across this country, they soon will be plotting and planning their future terrorist attacks on all of the u.s. and the rest of the world fomenting terror. the american flag lowered over

our embassy beyond humiliating as diplomats hastily were evacuated by helicopter to the airport. the very thing biden said it wouldn't happen. viewer warning, we were about to see is incredibly graphic but take a look at this horrific video earlier today, thousands of desperate afghan citizens leaning certain death at the hands of the taliban now rushing to the tarmac of the airport trying to cling to a departing sea 17 military plane, some crushed under the wheels of planes and others fell from the plain midair during its ascent hoping they might be able to hang on and get out of there, dozens of others desperately attempting to board any and all commercial planes parked on the runway, at least seven people died in the chaos and tonight as we speak, there were approximately 10,000 americans that are still at the international airport desperately attempting to flee the country.

joe, what are you doing? 6,000 u.s. soldiers now or in the process of regenerating afghanistan, taken over by the taliban to try to not secure the airport to try and save americans. without a doubt, a complete and total failure of leadership, planning, and execution and true to form has a disaster unfolded over the weekend, joe biden was nowhere to be found. aside from this bizarre photo crouching over an empty table during a zoom call and we've got nothing from nothing from biden all weekend while this was unfolding in real time. his press secretary wasn't available to circle back on anything, jen psaki was on vacation. you wrote her, you got an auto reply saying i will be out of the office from august 15th to the 22nd, hope you're having a great vacation. vice president kamala harris was also m.i.a. but today finally,

comes out of hiding for a very brief scripted speech by his staff before heading back to vacation where he blamed everyone for his catastrophe but himself but says the buck stops with him. take a look. >> when i came into office, i inherited a deal that president trump negotiated with a taliban pier the choice i had to make as your president was either to follow through on that agreement or be prepared to go back to fighting the taliban. so what's happened? afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country. the afghan military collapse sometime without trying to fight. i know there are concerns about why we did not begin evacuating afghans civilians sooner. part of the answer is some of the afghans did not want to leave earlier. i am president of the

united states of america. and the buck stops with me. >> sean: but i blame everybody else. did he have any problem overturning the secure border wall, stay in mexico, stop building the wall? stop catch and release now has the process of release in the middle of a pandemic without vaccine passports, vaccine mandates, mask mandates and sending people all over the country same with energy independence, took us away from that, has no problem changing policies on everything. to recap, biden blamed the afghan people in the afghan military and the afghan president, the afghan government, and president trump when all else fails because laughably claiming the buck stops with him pretty spineless and cowardly. of course, biden took zero questions following those remarks. i'm sure he has been exhausted with too much work, a whole 20 minutes and immediately

returned to his vacation for more r&r and ice cream with sprinkles on it. but let's be honest, the speech would not have happened today if not for the immense blowback from pretty much anyone with half a brain, even joe's protectors in the media mob could not ignore the full disaster that this is. take a look. >> how does the biden administration miscalculate this intelligence so gravely? >> this is a fiasco, a big part of life's execution and implementation and this is just malpractice, this has been a fiasco by any and every measure. >> this is not just about the overall idea of leaving afghanistan, this is about leaving hastily and ineptly. how did president biden get this so wrong? >> they are calling this withdrawal of fiasco, a debacle and it is one that apparently

the administration did not fully appreciate or see coming. >> there's no question the white house was wrong about the length of time they had, wrong about the strength of the afghan military, wrong about the reach of the taliban. >> in so many ways, this is completely on president biden. >> sean: to sum up, joe biden did everything wrong. just one month ago, he was assuring us that a taliban takeover was not inevitable at all because they had such a strong army and air force and everything and it was hundred thousand well-trained my some of the best trained soldiers in the entire world and only 75,000 taliban. that's not going to happen. we don't have to be taking people out in helicopters at the last minute, won't have people racing out of there. wrong again. >> it was a taliban takeover of afghanistan inevitable? >> no, it is not. because you have the afghan troops at 300,000 well-equipped

as any army in the world and air force against something like 25,000 taliban. it is not inevitable. there's going to be no circumstance you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the united states from afghanistan. >> sean: 300,000 well-equipped and they have an air force as good as any military on the face of the earth. the exact opposite happened, joe. these are the images of people being lifted off the roof of our embassy over the weekend. when you said it wouldn't happen, your side gone and your bay of pigs and it gets worse. in june, biden secretary of state is a total idiot, tony blinken, the guy that sucked up to china and took lectures on human rights from them as the chinese are now threatening our military bases day in and day out proclaimed it a quick taliban takeover was not

possible. >> we are not withdrawing, we are staying, the embassy is staying, our programs are staying in whatever happens in afghanistan if there is a significant deterioration could happen. we discussed this before, i don't think it's going to be something that happens from friday to monday so i wouldn't necessarily equate the departure of our forces in july, august, or by early september with him kind of immediate deterioration. >> sean: number one, you lied. number two, people will die. number three, you armed the taliban and you need to be fired, number four. the exact opposite happened. now many are calling the ill planned retreat in saigon, biden administration is actually begging the taliban terrorist, please allow americans to safely

leave the country two decades after 9/11. make no mistake, this is about so much more than just afghanistan. the world is watching, our allies and enemies alike are witnessing joe biden's pathetic weakness on the world stage. it is humiliating and embarrassing for this country now one of china's top newspapers are predicting that america will abandon taiwan just like they did afghanistan and now openly planning a total reunification. let me interpret that for you, that means a takeover of taiwan and meanwhile, russia doesn't fear us either with all of their cyberattacks or they don't respect us as well and they are now supplying all the energy for all of our western and european allies because he let it happen and granted him a waiver while simultaneously firing american keystone xl pipeline workers. great job, joe. and then joe gifted them with a new pipeline, the u.s. has now

endured a never ending stream of russian cyberattacks. and iran, now continuing to enrich uranium at an accelerated and of course, joe had the south koreans give iran $7 billion he went after joe attempted to bribe them with more international currency. in afghanistan, we have al qaeda safe haven back standing on the world stage now americans everywhere are less safe and less secure as they plot, plan, and scheme their next 9/11 attack on america. robert gates wrote that biden had been wrong on nearly every single major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades. remember, he didn't want to take out bin laden and according to political, biden's former boss president obama even expressed a similar level of concern telling a fellow democrat "don't

underestimate joe's ability to [bleep] things up." this is the difference between joe biden and donald trump. for all the snowflakes out there that get the vapors every time donald trump sense out a mean tweet and everything. they fear trump. the world for your. when donald trump gave a threat, they believed him. biden they know is weak and not running the show. the world sees it not influenced by america's media mob and propaganda outlets. america and the world deserves better. the world needs a strong america. sadly, under our biden, i fear this is only the beginning and only going to get worse. there was a full report, fox news contributor an investigative journalist spent a lot of time there in afghanistan, sara carter. he's been working the phones down for three straight days talking to key people while providing very important intelligence and interpreters to our troops on the ground the

whole time. their lives are now in immediate danger. what's the status? >> their lives are in peril right now. i can't begin to stress to the american people and to the viewers the terror that is going through kabul right now. with my friends, some of the 50,000 interpreters that work with our troops on the ground in afghanistan. these are the people that stood by our troops, men like my husband who was wounded in afghanistan in 2011, they stood by them, worked with them, and they were promised they would be brought back to the united states if something ever happened. now the taliban and according to my sources is walking door to door pulling people at home. they actually have a list and i know some people are already on these lists they are searching for. people in the united states are actually scrambling trying to get funding so they can move

some of these people outside of afghanistan if the u.s. is incapable of doing so. kabul itself is falling apart. people that are in other provinces throughout afghanistan can't even make their way to kabul. i've been told tonight that the airport is being secured. it was unbelievable for so many people in our military to watch those runways and to see how insecure the airport was and for 10,000 americans, their lives are in peril as well because we don't know which direction the taliban is going to take. he spoke today, the head of the taliban and said it was so quick able to enter kabul without even a high and that he himself couldn't even believe it. i want you to listen to this phone conversation with one of my sources, going to keep their names out of this for fear that their lives are already in danger and could be in peril but listen to this conversation we had.

sean, he is terrified that his children will be killed. there were people there afraid that vita needs to stand on principle, president biden needs to get these interpreters out of there. they have to believe in our word or they won't believe in us again. when. when max sara carter, thank you for that report. let's turn to remarks from former defense secretary leon panetta, hardly a conservative compared it to the bay of pigs. take a look. >> this moment is what for joe biden, president biden?

>> in many ways, i think of john kennedy in the bay of pigs. it has unfolded quickly and the president thought everything would be fine and that was not the case, but president kennedy took responsibility for what took place and i strongly recommend the president biden that he take responsibility, admit the mistakes that were made. >> sean: joining us now with reaction of my a lot of time on the ground by the way in vietnam and afghanistan. i can only imagine what military families are feeling tonight, those that served multiple tours, those that lost loved ones, those that came home with extensive permanent injuries, your take on all of this? >> this is biden's biggest blunder, his saigon moment. more than 780,000 u.s. troops

have been deployed to afghanistan. more than 2300 died, nearly 20,600 were wounded and we are still counting. there's more than 50,000 afghan military and security personnel who have been killed since october. this war is cost the united states more than $1 trillion and ending america's longest wars the right thing to do. doing the right thing the wrong way will result in the kinds of disaster we see being played out right now. in a speech today, he said the goal of 20 years ago was counterterrorism and he's proud to have opposed these and he claims he will stand by his decision plagiarizing harry truman. over the horizon capabilities he said with airpower can take care of things of counterterrorism. and was dead wrong. there is no search and rescue left for a downed pilot in afghanistan or other countries where they are doing those kinds

of operations. this has unfolded faster than we expected. think carefully about what that means. they expected this kind of thing to happen eventually, just not as fast and refused to take the very sage advice from the pentagon and the cia, don't do it this way. the afghan military was supposedly 300,000 well-equipped, not so. they started losing troops with a withdrawal date. the taliban does not have the air force and neither does the afghan military. that air force has been grounded because the very first things to go over the u.s. bases. that's where they were maintaining those aircraft so said it's one thing if they won't fight, they did fight. until they announced the date of withdrawal. based on conditions on the ground and not date driven. this whole thing is a catastrophe of his making.

>> sean: i appreciate you, thank you for all your service. now the station chief, former speaker of the house newt gingrich, both fox news contributor's, there is a clear distinction, the trump planet was going to be based on conditions on the ground, factor number one. factor number two is donald trump was believed. donald trump made a threat, they believed it because he had a track record while isis grew under biden and obama, isis was systematically destroyed under donald trump. he said it ended it on the taliban new what would happen if they didn't abide by any agreement that went on. they wouldn't have tried this under trump would be my argument. your thoughts? >> first of all, i don't know that joe biden has threatened anybody with anything. there is no way of knowing.

it seems to be to attack your allies, you know your enemies, pretend that bad things aren't happening. i watched the speech this afternoon and for most people if you took what you were seeing live coming out of afghanistan of the crowds and the fear, the takeover by the tablet band and then you looked at the speech by this guy who was clearly totally out of it, has no idea what's going on and his number one goal in that speech was to blame anyone else, he said the buck stops here. he didn't mean that. it stops with the afghan army, stops with donald trump, but the fact is this is a major american defeat that is going to have huge consequences as you pointed out earlier, going to embolden the chinese whether it's in taiwan with the south china sea or they're going to become allies of the taliban. because they want the minerals

in which northern afghanistan is enormously rich and they will be quite happy. they don't care what the taliban does to women. they just want the minerals. >> sean: as recently as last thursday and you worked all these years and the intelligence community, they were telling us they wouldn't make it there for another 90 days at least. on every level, how could they have been so wrong? how could joe biden just a couple of weeks ago be saying it will never happen, the taliban will never be able to get back in power and now it is the emirates of afghanistan, here we go. islamic emirates of afghanistan. >> it is aspirational, wishful foreign policy just as the biden administration was arguing they wanted to let they wanted to

take over the country by force but that ignored the reality that china and russia our greatest ally was a former government of afghanistan and what really concerns me going forward is they used to own and they had a sizable intelligence community footprints when we served our mission to find and fix those so we could protect and preempt threats, we had an ability to preempt them. we don't have that anymore and the tell the band controls the country so what i wanted to hear today and i hope we hear soon, what's the plan to do with those threats? irony of ironies, at greater risk of afghanistan than we ever have been before. >> sean: mr. speaker, we have 10,000 americans there and not control of the country or that airport.

how do they get those americans home? >> it's very disturbing that the administration yesterday wouldn't be automatically given any kind of priority which is the opposite of the policy we've always had up until now. i think there's a deeper thing here. been around for a long time. a set of goals, a religious fanatic group. what's going to happen to women and president george w. bush was exactly right today, the greatest thing he fears is what's going to happen to young girls and women. at a young woman from iraq who had been captured by isis and had basically passed around as a, that's the kind of stuff they see in afghanistan and not a single women's group on the left

is up in arms over what's about to happen. >> sean: we will pick up on that on the other side of this. mr. speaker, thank you. speaking of which, the tablet band taking power in afghanistan and china getting ready to capitalize. marco rubio has a reaction. under the last regime, what is their future going forward next. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements,

neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performance. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger.

>> sean: tonight, america's power and money is in retreat because not only is joe biden projecting nothing but weakness to our enemies are projecting weakness to her allies as well because according to just the news.com, china's mouthpiece newspaper, communist chinese now suggesting that the u.s. will in fact abandon taiwan after the

afghan collapse. i don't disagree with them sadly. how long will it be before china capitalizes on this clear american weakness and the lack of american resolve and cognitively prophetic president? sadly, i think the chinese have zero fear about taking over taiwan with joe biden as president. our foreign adversaries not exactly influenced by the media mob and big tech mob. they know that biden is not up to this job and know he's a cognitive mess failing on policy, feeling on facts, failing to articulate a coherent vision on keeping america safe and secure and it was too busy to get out of the chair and get back to work this weekend or stay at work today. here with reaction, marco rubio. i went back and looked at a lot of your tweets. you warned them this would fail. you told them exactly what would

happen and they ignored everything you told them and others in the next step is you predict this will now once again be a safe haven for groups like al qaeda moving forward. >> there was a bipartisan war. you look at everything, it was clear that not only was the worst-case scenario out there, it was the likeliest outcome that was going to happen and we kept insisting what is the plan if this happens to match what is the plan? they arrogantly and smugly ignored it. they are the experts and they know everything and now seeing consequences. there were two things to keep in mind. joe biden was elected promising the return of expertise to foreign policy and they can't even execute on something like this and ignore the people who know something about it. that does encourage people like china for countries like china and other adversaries not just to go and try to undermine confidence in america but actually test america and think they can get away with it and something that the pentagon is

already saying one of already been saying for close to nine months, the biggest problem here is going to be that al qaeda is coming back to afghanistan. they are coming back, they will reconstitute, they will pose a threat again and this administration has no plan whatsoever to prevent that from happening. >> sean: russia is involved in cyberattacks against this country and they get a waiver for a pipeline and a summit with joe biden. china is threatening our military bases threatening to take over an independent sovereign country taiwan calling it reunification and are lecturing america on human rights in anchorage and ever pathetically weak secretary of state is allowing them to do so with no pushback. so my question is why wouldn't the chinese think that they can take or reunify their term with taiwan? to be met i know it's not made

in these think tanks, not made by these, it is hard nosed nation-states making a decision, look and make get away with and if we do this, this is what's going to happen to us in right now is joe biden at the white house, our adversaries will conclude they were things i can get away with and do that this white house is not strong, not prepared and not confident and i fear what that means. this is a big problem. >> sean: look at the difference, i know people were so offended of their daily outrage at donald trump's tweeting but donald trump was able to get trade deals and nobody thought possible because everybody believed that a trade war would come and he would follow through. our enemies knew for example, look at isis, they were incapable of dealing with any such threat. they don't seem to have -- there is no belief that joe biden would lift a finger to stop

anything here which means these nations, geopolitical and geographical ambitions are going to be pursued and likely will be successful. >> this couldn't go on forever but i had to be done the right way, not this way and what it reveals as you can get away with things with this administration and they are not going to take it seriously or know what to do about it and i look back at the strike that was widely condemned called murder and execution, all kinds of people attacking president trump for doing it but i assure you 100%, i know for a fact that it impacted the psychology of the iranian regime and of the group that he headed. >> sean: they feared trump and believed he was capable of following through on his threats, that's number one. >> that's what it's all about, what did their adversaries believe they can get away with. that what you are saying or writing but what do you think you will do? the strike sent a message that was important to do. a smug guy walking around and

flying around with impunity that thought he was untouchable until he wasn't. there is no fear of that happening. >> sean: the trump plan was based on conditions on the ground and the genuine fear that like donald trump wiped out the caliphate that the taliban would be wiped out similarly if they dare to try this if donald trump was president. this didn't happen on trump's watch. this happened on biden's watch while biden was on vacation and couldn't take time to deal with it. >> they operated under assumptions that were completely ridiculous. they asked why didn't they stand up and fight and push back and if you make those assumptions, they could've held on to other indications were that as soon as they announced they were leaving, police officers would abandon his post and leaders would abandon the country. that is exactly what happened and what they were told and they didn't care and now we see the consequences of it. >> sean: thank you for being

with us. what are the consequences of the taliban and taking over afghanistan, will they mean for women in that country because previously, it meant women couldn't go to work or to school. they were told how to dress and conduct themselves and many young women were taken as child brides. it is not coming back? lara logan and lara trump way and next and also, a programming amount spent you don't want to miss straight ahead.

>> sean: also tonight, afghan women fear a return to the dark days amid the taliban and take over and joe biden's failures according to reports militants now releasing violent prisoners

taking girls out of school for fear of attack and even. she said she is a sitting duck and is just waiting for the taliban to come and kill her. remember, ruled girls were prevented from going to school, prevented from appearing in public without being fully covered meaning their face and having a male relative with them for going to work. there were also restrictions on what health care they could receive, what types of transportation they could take and were severely limited on when and where and if they could even work and were even subjected to forced marriages, and abuse. and those who broke the rules faced public flogging and even execution. here with reaction, fox news contributor lara trump along with fox nation host laura logan. 21st century terrorism at 10:00 p.m. here on sunday on the

fox news channel and on foxnation.com. opt start with you. we know what life was like for women under the taliban and last time. i were were to be here? >> i think we should, it is going to be a horrible situation for girls in afghanistan going forward now, detailed some of the horrific things that happened in the past. women were not able to be educated and were not able to work, had to be fully clothed, only their eyes being able to be seen out in public and had to have a male escort and if not, they were publicly beaten or executed. i saw video earlier of a young woman posted on social media is directly crying, 12 or 13 years old saying i know what awaits me and i'm terrified for my future, so i'd like to know where all of the me to focus, the hollywood

elites and the liberals who cry out and say they support women, for women's rights, this is a disgusting abuse of women's rights that we are seeing happen take place before our very eyes then one person is a reason that this is happening right now joe biden, shameful what is happening and sadly what is to come for these women. >> sean: you have been in many a war zone. the difference i see is at the taliban and feared trump and they believe trump. they believe what he said he would do. they watched him wipe out the caliphate here. you know what life is like for women in the past under the taliban rule. am i wrong in my descriptions in any way? >> no, you're not wrong in your description in any way. he was so much under siege of his very first national security

announcement on the afghan and pakistan region was the first of its kind to point the finger at pakistan and detail action they were going to take but it was never enacted because the administration was prevented from functioning from within, constantly under attack and being undermined but what i have learned something quite significant tonight that is being left out of the narrative here is a biden administration goes down the path, i was very shocked today when i heard biden actually say these words in his press conference saying they gave up and fled the country and i couldn't believe it because i have been in touch with the vice president of afghanistan and i know that days ago he left the capital and went to the valley where he joined the very famous northern alliance commander and they are part of a resistance, they haven't surrendered, haven't given up

and hearing the reports today about people going door-to-door in the taliban hunting down and wondering what happened to the special operations forces planned all of the stories about everything collapsing, many of them are in the valley as part of the resistance. a lot of them kids, many of them fought their way there, some died along the way and they have dug into the valley where they plan to fight, they told me this evening when i was talking to them that the resistance is very strong, the morale is strong and they will not dishonor the tens of thousands of their colleagues who died writing to defend the afghan republic which is something they believe in, so it's really quite shocking that the biden administration is pushing these ideas that no one afghanistan would fight and also

the idea that they were doing the afghans a favor. >> sean: joe biden was asked directly and he said no, it's one of the best equipped and prepared armies on the face of the earth. they got 300,000 fighters, they've got an air force that this will never happen what we saw unfold here even as late as last week saying the earliest they could even get close three or four or five months down the road on the how could they wrong? >> i will tell you, i was speaking to people who are there on the afghan side and on the intelligence side, active-duty people and retired people and everybody universally said what you are looking at now is what would happen except for one or two who were very deep and trying to salvage this and why? because the biden administration going back to obama, remember when biden told the taliban and

everyone in the rest of the world that the u.s. was leaving? it was done and it was over and the u.s. was gone and so it was really never -- it was just a question of time from that moment on. plus, they told the taliban what they were doing, there were many signs. i don't believe for a second that u.s. intelligence didn't know. i think all of that is fundamentally dishonest. >> sean: the senate until told them everything. last word, lara trump. >> i think it's a sad day for america, an embarrassing day for america. robert gates, the obama-biden defense secretary told us a long time ago joe biden has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy decision he has ever made. we warned people this would happen and i take no pleasure in saying this, we told you so, what a sad day for the entire world. >> sean: think you both. coming up, we will explain how republicans want answers after

this disastrous withdrawal, plus, important, big programming announcement coming up straight ahead. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performance. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger.

[sfx: bear roar] that describes only john cox.

>> sean: republicans want answers for how the biden administration could have gotten this so wrong and embarrassed our great country so badly and what it means for the future just breaking moments ago, vice president kamala harris finally woke up from her weekend nap tweeting "for two decades, our courageous service members but their lives on the mind in afghanistan. we will always be grateful and proud. here with reaction, republican congressman michael mccaul who himself served in afghanistan. the only problem is nobody wants

these never ending wars prayer there's a right way and a wrong way to get out. one right way is to not leave your munitions, multi-million-dollar humvees all over the place and other military caches and it would've been smart to listen to our own intel committees that told them it would happen if they did it this way. >> that's right. this is one of the greatest disasters in modern american history. this is a disaster on a humanitarian grounds, a disaster for a credibility. can you imagine what people in taiwan or ukraine her thinking right now watching this unfold? the biggest thing is it's a disaster for a counterterrorism. america, al qaeda 3.0 will come roaring back. they are absolutely married at the hip but this time when we go back in, the taliban will be better armed with

taxpayer-funded equipment, we have no basis in the region and we have no local allies because they've all been hunted down. i want to see resignations. they all presided over the reckless withdrawal from iraq that read to the rise of the isis caliphate but here's the thing, i am not going to wait for another 9/11 or pulse nightclub. we remember charlie wilson's war. we need to take a page out of his playbook, had to force biden to take care of our interpreters, we need to force him to support pockets of resistance, lower his right and they exist, i've been in touch with them that are willing to continue the fight against the taliban and al qaeda. can't wait for another 9/11 as we roll into the 20th anniversary. >> sean: we have 10,000 americans there never mind the interpreters which we actually did promise we would get them

out if it came to this. their lives are now imperiled for that. >> right, this is a stain on the presidency. he has blood on his hands and we kept repeatedly warning the administration when you have to get these interpreters are afghan partners out of there. until the very last minute now this rush to the airport to get them out and that we don't even have planes leaving the airport. now they will be left behind, they will be slaughtered by the taliban. this president didn't listen to his generals, didn't listen to the intelligence community. the assessment was very grim. going back to me that within months, the taliban was going to take it over, the conditions would deteriorate and that's exactly what happened but disregard that and listen to the state department who told them that we can get this deal with the taliban.

guess what? it didn't work, can't strike a deal with the tablet band. what i really despise the most is in the speech this afternoon blaming everybody but himself including former president trump. i can tell you this, trump would never have sat back and watched an unconditional surrender of the taliban to afghanistan. he is the one who crushed isis when the obama and biden administration created this but i thought the national security advisor told me his conversation with the president said he would never allow another saigon again. and that's exactly what happened. >> sean: weren't exactly what would happen and it happened and i don't know if we will be able to get these people out of there. they are americans and other people's lives are at risk. thank you both. when we come back, a programmino want to miss straight ahead.
