4:00 pm
ashley. both mom and baby are doing great. they are healthy. we are increasing our audience one viewer at a time. congratulations. tomorrow on "special report," members of congress seek answers to what happened with the decision in afghanistan. we will bring you that. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. thanks for trusting us. that's it for "special report," fair balanced and still unafraid. "fox news primetime" hosted by tammy bruce starts right now. hey, tammy. >> tammy: thank you very much. sir. i'm tammy bruce and tonight joe biden looks down on the deadly disaster in afghanistan and declare as job well done. >> the extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely, and selfless courage of the united states military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. >> tammy: we can't condition that the military did as the best job as it could but extraordinary success overall anyone with eyes can see the chaos that has engulfed afghanistan in the past two
4:01 pm
weeks. 13 americans are dead. 20 more injured, joe biden has sur renikered to the taliban, americans have been left behind. those who assisted us abandoned. there is now a new terrorist safe haven across afghanistan. and the world is less secure because we are witnessing the absolutely devastating consequences of the president's massive foreign policy failure, his der rejection of duty. his smug rejection to face any accountability, and his utter refusal to admit his mistakes for what is now an undeniable catastrophe and the worst foreign policy failure in modern political history. and how is the biden team responding to all of this? not by taking responsibility, not by admitting any of their mistakes, but by blaming others. >> my are predecessor, the former president, signed an agreement with the taliban. we reached out 19 times to americans in afghanistan with multiple warnings. my predecessor had made a deal
4:02 pm
with the taliban. we were left with a simple decision: either follow through on the commitment made by the last administration and leave afghanistan or say we weren't leaving and commit another tens of thousands more troops. >> tammy: boy, none of that is true. and now they are. [broken audio] to give them credit for their efforts. take a look that the bizarre tweet from state department spokesman ned price linking to a "the washington post" piece titled the state department deserved more credit for its effort to evacuate americans from afghanistan. really? on the same day the biden administration abandons americans and our allies they want to pat on the back in the equivalent would be the captain of the titanic demanding praise for having launched half full life boats forget about that sinking ship i launched the most life boats in history. and, remember, this is all self-inflicted it did not have to happen this way. biden was warned what to come. decided to double down with afghan delusion anyway.
4:03 pm
the man who ran on empathy is showing none of it and frankly doesn't even seem to care about the chaos he has created. over the weekend during a moving and heart wrenching ceremony of where the remains of our fallen u.s. soldiers were received at dover air base joe biden had the audacity to actually check his watch not once but over and over again as each of the caskets was being transferred in front of him. >> that didn't happen just once. that happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. as a father, you know, seeing that and the disrespect, they had them over there, and let them down. >> i actually leaned in to my son's mother's ear and i said i swear to god if he checks his watch one more time and that was only probably four times in. i couldn't look at him anymore after that. >> tammy: shocking. two new suddenly gold star fathers speaking about that
4:04 pm
experience. what could possibly be more important than this moment at dover air base? what would he need to check the time on? why would he do this? or was he just checking to see how much blood he had left on his hands? in the meantime, here are the people of jackson, wyoming, not checking their watches as they salute the family of murdered servicemen rylee mccollum returning home. so let's be clear. joe biden caused all of this. this was his reckless withdrawal plan. it was his plan that led to the premature exit from bagram air base. perhaps the most strategic piece of military infrastructure we had in the region. it's where the taliban freed terrorist prisoners, biden's plan it that led withdrawing our military before civilians creating what hostage crisis and it is his plan that's creating a new terror crisis that led to last week's terror attack in kabul killing our 13 his or hers. and why did he do it? >> let me be clear, leaving august the 31st is not due to
4:05 pm
an arbitrary deadline. it was designed to save american lives. >> tammy: even there i think you have a failure more gaslighting. he did it for the political symbolism and all because of some disgusting attempt for a september 11th photo op. it did not have to be this way. it certainly did not have to go so wrong. our brave and selfless american heroes they deserve so much better than, this they did everything right. they deserved their country with honor and dignity and thrown into this quagmire because of biden's dereliction and biden's rush to the exit. we cannot and will not let their deaths be in vain. and biden looking at his watch, now that's the real joe biden. not the phony empathizer the media tried to pretend that he was. the real joe biden who only looks out for himself and the real joe biden who can't even be bothered to take responsibility for his failures. we have a president who is deteriorating cognitively, disconnected from reality and it's getting worse by the hour. i will ask again where is the
4:06 pm
accountability? this is a complete and utter failure. what exactly will it take? we have to ask for the biden administration to finally admit it. isn't it unconscionable that we live in a world where we all walk on egg shells we fear something we said or tweeted years ago will destroy our professional careers. the pentagon and the president can make such poor decisions that lead to death and destruction but nothing changes. no one is fired. and no one takes responsibility. here we are tonight with still more questions than answers. it was biden that broke his promise that we wouldn't leave until every american was out. and even today the spinning went into overdrive by pentagon spokesman john kirby he dismisses the fact that we abandon americans behind enemy lines this way. >> we are no longer on the ground in afghanistan to facilitate that kind of safe passage but that doesn't mean that the administration or the government is going to turn a blind eye to trying to help them get home and it's not unlike we do in other countries around the world when we have americans
4:07 pm
that are -- that are stranded or need help getting out. we have a lot of tools available to us to help facilitate that passage. >> tammy: yeah, americans stranded it happens all the time. lie after lie, failure after failure, deception after deception the gaslight is burning bright, isn't it? what will it take to actually get more transparency from the kabul of metered okay unimpressive american hating goals. has president biden drop anything to help the country or make us safer or more secure? there are no adults in charge. there is no empathy. there is certainly no plan. there is no transparency. the biden agenda is failing in every corner of the world. joe biden is a man who is lost. he is confused and who sun fit to serve abandoning americans in afghanistan, appan donning our afghan allies, completely surrender aring to the taliban, creating a new hostage crisis turning his back on brave hen and women in uniform. biden administration found a way to take an absolutely awful situation and make it even
4:08 pm
worse. check your watch, joe. because the time for real accountability is long past due. now, joining me are former navy seal rob o'neill, a man you know well. a heroic american certainly and the host of lara logan extraordinary background and understanding the middle east in her work and investigations and her program lara logan has no agenda. thank you both for joining me. let me start with you, rob. you know, the collection of what we have seen, it's not just a one off when it comes to the failure in afganistan. this is a genuine in our face failure of leadership, lack of leadership, making decisions based on fantasies, based on winning a news cycle. you understand about leadership. you know about life and death and what we face and what our military faces every day. what is your sense of things now that we have heard from the president today? >> great to be with you, tammy. one of the first things you can tell here is when someone says as a leader the buck stops here
4:09 pm
and the next word is but. they are not being a leader completely passing it off. i don't know how many executive orders this president signed first few weeks in office all of a sudden this is the one thing that president donald trump did that he had to follow. there is no leadership here whatsoever. they are just passing it off and kind of blowing it off. now we are at a point we can only believe what's coming out of afghanistan based on what the taliban allows us to see. horrific stuff going on. down playing everything an interpreter call him mohammed who saved now president biden then senator biden when he was stuck on a mountain top when a helicopter couldn't get through some of the passes and all jen psaki said today at the podium yeah, so this guy rescued the president, you know, from snow. which is complete nonsense. throws very, very dangerous mountains with very, very dangerous people in them not just snow. blowinghim off because of the news cycle we will forget about it. >> tammy: this is what is incredible. lara, to watch this extraordinary thing unfolding in front of all of us and there is
4:10 pm
this dismissal of the nature of the actions of people on the ground. you also have been hearing from and are dealing with desperate people in afghanistan, desperate people here as this catastrophe unfolds. what are you finding as we now are out completely and there is even more desperation? >> tammy, you know, there is something really extraordinary happening here. because on the one hand, you've got thousands, literally thousands of people begging for help, for the last week you have had people at the gates of the airport. this something i don't really think americans understand because of the way the state department and the white house and the president are lying to them. imagine that there is an airport with a wall around it and you have got gates everywhere with u.s. soldiers on them. you had american citizens at those gates for more than a weekday and night. they never left. some of them went back over and over through taliban checkpoints because they had tiny children. some of them were pregnant. and they were not allowed in.
4:11 pm
nobody would open the gates. and the biden administration, if they were really asked how many of those people that were flown out in the last few days were actually inside the airport already and how many of them were let in? i can tell you that almost 100 percent were already inside the airport. because it was only ones and twos that were being let in. and you have abject panic now across kabul. you have absolute terror at the are desperate. we are besieged with calls from u.s. citizens, from approved visa holders, patience, green card holders with 3, 4 american children who are actually citizens who are stranded. you know, and one thing, tammy, if this president want to go back and blame joe biden, rob is right, he got out of the paris accord -- he went back on the paris accord. trump was out on that he went back. in the jcpoe he went back in on that. he fired almost everybody that worked for the trump administration, except the obama
4:12 pm
holdovers were there in the first place and subverting this president for his entire presidency. and then on top of that, let's go back to obama. whose idea was it to start negotiating with the taliban without the afghan government? when did that actually start? it started with the people in the obama administration who are now in the trump and biden administration. i think that was trump. >> tammy: i think this is clear we have had a problem with afghanistan and with the system for a very long time. trump made -- he committed a crime of disrupting the usual system. gave us the abraham accords, the nature of how to extract ourselves from afghanistan, not in this way to avoid this. rob, you have a unique situation following orders killing usama bin laden, playing incredibly important role of ending the terror in that regard. the military is heart broken, it's understandable. what do you say to your fellow veterans who have faced so much, who continue to fight and love this country in the face of such dereliction of duty in the
4:13 pm
commander-in-chief? >> what we are seeing right now is -- i'm including our allies in this, too. it is rarely, rarely the soldier. the soldiers do a great job on the ground. the airmen and pilots do a great job. the armies win the wars. it's the politicians that lose it. because it's more important to them to tie windsor knot and smile for the cameraened a hopefully win the next election that's all they care about. i can't believe the generals who haven't resigned yet. waiting for cushy job government contract when they run for office because it's all about personal power, what can i do for me and how do we win again in two years? >> tammy: i will tell you the future is, i think, settled and i feel secure lara because of you and rob because before you and your friends and family and all the rest of americans watching this program right now. thank you very much, both of you. now, don't forget to watch part of the new season of lara logan has no agenda, fact sizing afghanistan available right now on fox nation.com. up next, joe biden thinks this afghan debacle is not his fault

♪ >> tammy: someone needs to take responsibility for this afghan disaster. it won't be joe biden who is happy to blame trump and stranded americans but 90 retired u.s. military generals and admirals are demanding that someone be held accountable. they are calling on defense secretary lloyd austin and chair of the joint chiefs mark milley to resign over their, quote: negligence surrounding the disastrous withdrawal in afghanistan. here now congressman mike gallagher. congressman, welcome aboard. i know there is some -- okay.
4:20 pm
we can't hear him. now, if he was irish, is he irish, we should be able to here an irishman anywhere even if he has a microphone. we will get sound from him in a moment. also former -- well, he is the former marine counterintelligence officer and armed service committee member. maybe also now we need him to be an expert on it issues. oh, we do. so fixed it, right? we got him? all right. we have gallagher. thank you, sir, thank you for joining me tonight and especially, especially on this kind of an evening where we are still kind of stunned, i think it's safe to say that the american people are in shock because there is no matter what they hear from the president, it gets worse. we always expect maybe other times are just awful and he's going to be better this time. now we are genuinely in an emergency situation where we really have no idea what comes next. what can you tell the american people? you have got an incredible
4:21 pm
background and now, of course, in congress, what county american people expect and what can congress do to make sure that this debacle, at least, slows down if not stops so that we have less of a an emergency situation here? >> well, start with the hard and obvious truth. the president of the united states is lying. he called this an extraordinary success but 12 marines and one sailor dead that did not need to die is not a success. hundreds of americans left behind, thousands more of our afghan allies effectively condemned to death under the taliban is not a success. billions of dollars worth of u.s. military equipment left in the hands of fundamentalist terrorists is not a success. far from a success this is a fiasco and a humiliating failure. and for the democrats to celebrate it as a success for democrat here in d.c. to be
4:22 pm
fundraising off of this failure is absolutely unconscionable. and for them to block the bill that i tried to put forward on the house this morning on the house floor and i was gaveled down simply would are required the administration to submit a plan and not recognize the taliban and not pay ransom payments to the taliban and also a list of all the u.s. military equipment left behind? quite honestly i'm baffled by it so we will have a long way to build to rebuild our credibility because this president has given it a massive blow with this fiasco and failure in afghanistan. >> tammy: not just biden clearly. and i was for a long time dismissing these issues oh it's cognitive issue, it's other people. but he clearly is involved in this. he clearly knows what's going on. as you mentioned, it's also the party. you can't even get the low bar of let's recognize the details of what's happened here and this is a dangerous situation. this is not some bad off broadway theater. this is as we know life and death.
4:23 pm
how do you explain the commander-in-chief pretending about what has happened, a complete delusion. it's not even like we disagree, you know, in a partisan way or on policy, this is frightening to the american people that we're being told something that's not true. >> i think it's very cynical strategy they are employing. they clearly believe this is a news cycle that they can imagine. >> tammy: yes, exactly. >> they believe this is a narrative they can win with some tweets and re-tweets from friendly progressive journalists in the media echo chamber. that is their entire strategy right now. as for their strategy to get americans out after the withdrawal and surrender, there is none. right? they're putting everything in the basket of we have substantial leverage over the taliban. we don't have leverage. >> tammy: what is that? we don't even know what that is. >> these people think that geo politics is like a high school model u.n. conference, right? where leverage comes from a sternly worded statement referencing the international community.
4:24 pm
leverage comes from victory or defeat on the ground, on the battlefield. >> tammy: that's right. >> now, pause we have surrendered, they will have the leverage of hundreds of americans held hostage going forward. >> tammy: it's extraordinary. congressman, gallagher, great job. you are not just talking on television. you actually get some work done and move things in that fashion and we appreciate that. thank you sir very much. also here tonight joining me elliott a former marine captain who served five tours in afghanistan and is now working to evacuate stranded americans that joe biden left behind. elliott, thank you so much for joining me. i know you are busy. i loved your article iii days ago about how it shun be left to strorns clean up joe biden's mess.
4:25 pm
>> since you have been having me the last few weeks working with veteran activists [inaudible] to get afghans as well as american citizens out of the country. we have been able to evacuate several hundred. i think the real question is why is this falling to us? where was the formal government organization to get these individuals out of the country? and what i have observed was there was none. there wasn't a plan. and it's been left to people to just pick up all of the slack and the result of the debacle we have seen in kabul. >> tammy: this is astounding the 21st century the american government and american military. thank god you are out there so many other civilians and former military working together to do something here. we finally have a collection of individuals, about 90 former military asking demanding that millie and austin resign. is this part of what needs to happen? do we need to see resignations
4:26 pm
of the top brass in this regard to start making any kind of headway? we need to see accountability if we don't see general milley, secretary of defense lloyd austin i think what is then obvious, if this debacle doesn't merit those types of resignations, then what does? and if they don't resign, i think you can truly say there is a culture of inaccountability at the very, very highest levels of the white house and our defense >> tammy: very well said. even with this kind of failure one would think if you had any decency, any shred, you would resign out of shame. forget about being forced to be accountable if you disagree, the shame, why are these people not feeling shame at this point, a very basic emotion? we are watching this horrible
4:27 pm

4:33 pm
while doing the complete opposite. yesterday he abandoned thousands of women and children in afghanistan leaving them in the hands of the taliban. many are american citizens and allies who have desperately tried escaping the country but were left behind. one of those stranded u.s. citizens appeared on cnn last night to share her story for her safety she goes by the pseudonym sarah and says she was an interpreter for the u.s. military. >> i just found out that they left and i was just silent for a little while. i went and walked around the room and i saw the sleeping and they have no clue what happened this morning, that the last flights is gone and left behind. it's heart breaking to see that with all that is going on no one heard us that we are in danger and we need to be safe. >> tammy: well, that's just absolutely crushing. well, joining me now to react author of the book "pray" and
4:34 pm
hoover institution fellow ayaan herbie alli. thank you so much. this is a horrific time it's embarrassing that it has come from the united states and it's heart breaking what are your thoughts now with what we know has transpired in afghanistan in the fate of the women and girls there? >> it's an absolute tragedy. it's a fiasco just like representative mike gallagher just told you. and then when it comes to girls and women, the taliban will come in and they are going to apply their law, islamic law understood in its hardest expression to all of the women of afghanistan. but there is a different sense of women. the girls and women in the last 20 years are ho are inspired and educated by american and american allies, those girls are
4:35 pm
going to stick up and speak out. those girls know that there is a world outside of the world that's ruled by the taliban and so it's apply the women who display will, they will be punished. they are the ones who noses get cut off. whose ears get cut off. raped as a form of punishment. given to men, members of the taliban military. and these are the girls who were educated and inspired and protected by america and joe biden has just dropped them casually. just like that. it is a lot of tragedy going on. but i think it would be a stain on our conscience. a stain on the conscience of this administration the girls
4:36 pm
and women. the way they set them up and just dropped them. >> tammy: and creating -- very well said. it creates a dynamic with the generation of women who are different who have different expectations and now faced with a monster at the door and abandoned to that monster a nation that has said forever that we are here to champion you. the democrats, the left, and what we end up doing is, in effect, lying to them and then leading them to the demon that awaits them. it is -- it's shocking to our conscience, isn't it? >> it is. we led them on. we had them believe that it was possible to be a human being, to rise above all of that and they have done all of that. i know that things were not going well in afghanistan. i know that biden had his arbitrary date that he was set on putting us. never did he take a minute to
4:37 pm
look at what the future would be for those girls and women. >> tammy: exactly. >> never did he do that. and i think on that he didn't even look at his watch. >> tammy: great point. excellent analysis. thank you so much for all the work you do ayaan. for us, we are not done this is unacceptable. and the work continues. thank you very much ayaan. now, we were told time and time again that we would stay in afghanistan until every american that wanted to leave was out. the state department even assured us yesterday that extraordinary efforts were being made to get our people home safely. but that's not the case. today joe biden admitted that 10%, how does he know, of stranded americans didn't make the cut? our president left them behind. >> since march, we reached out 19 times to americans in afghanistan with multiple warnings and offers to help them leave afghanistan? all the way back as far as march.
4:38 pm
the bottom line? 90% of americans in afghanistan who wanted to leave were able to leave. for those who remain, we will make arrangements to get them out if they so choose. >> tammy: remarkable, blaming now the hostages. our military is gone so how are we going to get these people out safely? joe biden wants to give diplomacy a try and see what happens. now, obviously we have got a problem there. but joining me now is someone leading his own effort as many heroes are to get these americans home. filmmaker and congressional candidate in tennessee robby starbuck. many of you know him, got a great social media presence. there's a lot of problems with social media but one of the great things is we get to meet someone like robbie. robbie, you are doing some incredible work. you know, that's not necessarily what your career has been. many people have been pushed into wanting to make a difference and we see that it is now our job. can you tell people what you have been doing and what you have been encountering in your effort to get people out? >> yeah.
4:39 pm
thank you so much, tammy. this week i have spent the last week working with a bunch of our greatest heroes and patriots who served our country to help these kids, american children to get them out of afghanistan. we have personally handled about 10 of these children and gotten their information, their passports, their coordinates, everything to the white house, to the state department, and today after joe biden went on there and called this an extraordinary success. i got one of those fathers to call me and he told me the dod left his 3-month-old child hasan at the airport, they had gotten him in custody. we got him to the dod. they left him at the airport. the other children, they didn't even get a phone call from the biden administration. there are american children with american passports. >> tammy: this is what lore la logan were saying earlier americans were there and not allowed in. that they just were not taken. how do you explain this for other americans watching?
4:40 pm
why would this happen? what do you tell yourself as you try to work through this? >> do you know what the scariest is? there is really not that many options. a matter of either the highest levels of government are infected with raw stupidity or a lot of this was intentional. in many of these cases we have these brave, brave troops. one of the guys i worked with that handled these kids, we were in contact with people at the highest levels and were told one thing and then the gates were shut and americans were locked out. it says something about this government and their incompetence that people were reaching out to people like me on social media to try to help them because the state department wouldn't answer them back. and i know joe biden is used to people in d.c. who were sheep and do whatever they are posed to do. but i have got news for them lions are coming in 2022. we will hold these people accountable for what they have done here. >> tammy: what's shocking is so many -- not that we are not great. but these civilians, people like you trying to make a change, an instagram guy, even this network, managed to get people
4:41 pm
out. that there is ways to connect with people and yet our own government is behaving as though this is just impossible or is blaming the people that they say are just not cooperating. none of that makes any sense. >> no, it doesn't make sense. in fact, one of the boys hasan who was left at the airport his dad told me was specifically one of the most infuriating things to him. i sent a tape over to your producers with this. he said that was so angering to him because he personally was like my family has been wanting and trying to get out for as long as we possibly can. and i'm an american citizen. my kids are american by birth and we can't get them out. >> tammy: this is a reminder to us that leadership matters. that donald trump reminded us that things can change, that powerful leadership and a powerful america keeps people safe. this is the antithesis of that. i know you are running for office, another example of regular normal deciding to take the lead. robby starbuck, thank you so much for joining me tonight. thanks for the work you do and keep it going. >> thank you so much, tammy.

>> tammy: thousand that the tall pan has full control of afghanistan civilized members of the arena shifting who he focus to human rights. joe biden is worried about it, too. he has just the trick to keep the taliban in check. >> note yesterday the u.n. security council also signed a path to resolution that made clear to what the expectation is in terms of safe travel and evacuation or departure i should say of individuals who want to leave afghanistan. and nearly half of the countries in the world have also signed on to a statement making clear that is the expectation. >> tammy: well, there you go. boy, we are -- this is a mess. a resolution that ought to do it, right? you didn't know -- you know who didn't sign that resolution? russia and china, of course. this is what leading by diplomacy looks like under joe biden and it's making the world obviously less safe. biden's foreign policy experts have failed over and over again.

so let's take a look at some of their greatest hits, shall we? deputy secretary of state wendy sherman, you should know this woman, she is a problem. pushed her brand of diplomacy on to north korea in the 1990s. we see how well that worked out. clueless tony blinken who alongside sherman negotiated the iran nuclear deal in 2013. another disaster. and if joe biden and company extend this brand of diplomacy to afghanistan, the failures, of course, will keep on coming. joining me now is senior editor of the federalist and fox news contributor one of your favorites and my favorite as well mollie hemingway. mollie, i don't know, this is like the twilight zone, it's shocking. we have all seen crazy things that have happened. yet, all of this is so -- it's -- i don't even know, how do we describe it? what is your take in the mix of all of this and especially with us wondering who has really been in charge? >> right. you mentioned the twilight zone. i think of the movie team
4:49 pm
america which was making fun of a lot of how americans foreign policy operates. and that movie was made you know, decades ago and they were joking about this idea that a strongly worded letter would be sufficient to change people's behavior. our entire foreign policy consensus seems to have been broken for many decades. it has confusion about what's in our national interest and also what's in the national interest of the countries that we are dealing with. it is diplomacy is good and important but it has to understand that we do things in our interest. it has to be backed by a strong military. it has to have clear objectives that are not about woke politics but, again, about defending american interest and our security and our people. and that confusion is going to remain even after we have departed afghanistan. >> tammy: i think that's what likely prompted president trump to want us to get out. we wanted to get out because it was a quagmire based in what you are saying of 20 years of no one really knows what the goal was. and not really even knowing how
4:50 pm
it was managed and what the corruption was. and so that's where leadership matters, right, if we're going to change this, it's not just -- it is with elections but it's also with recognizing it and taking action to make the difference, right, to pull us out in the right way because what an example we have had right now when it comes to the wrong way. >> well, in that speech today where president biden wanted to blame president trump for making the decision to leave afghanistan, which he did, but then also wanted credit for the decision to leave afghanistan when the real issue is simply someone was boxed in and had to leave afghanistan now. the manner in which it was done was so important and that is what was botched. but, it is just so important for people to understand that it's one thing to have this type of loss against the taliban, it's entirely another against a nuclear adversary like china. and nobody is being held responsible or quitting or getting fired. no changes are being made. and the whole world can see that
4:51 pm
we don't have a good handle on how to react with these other nations and many of our adversaries are far more than a threat to us than the taliban. >> tammy: that has inspared every bad actor in the world and we have our handsful and excellent reminder of that mollie, thank you very much. up next, what's worse than the taliban? conservative christians, we're told, at least if you ask the radical left. we will explain next. ♪ ♪
