trapped behind enemy lines. we have afgan allies that we promised to get out if this day ever came. they're now being hunted down for murder. our thoughts and prayers are with all of them tonight. and that my heart's troubled, but we know how it sends, good guys win. laura ingraham, take it away. >> laura: hannity your guests, captain sam brown, first of all, i want to sign up for his campaign for nevada. is he running for senate in nevada? he was so good. i mean, we have all these politicians on our shows. he's the anti politician. you know why? because he believes in accountability for decision making. every other industry in the united states and across the world has to meet certain metrics and if they don't they have to answer, at least answer for them. and yet we have decade after decade of military leadership and bureaucratic screw-ups and no one's held accountable. he was a great guest.

you have a lot of great guests but i enjoyed that segment thoroughly so thank you for introducing him to america >> sean: you know, when i get the gold star from laura ingraham, that means it was a good show. . >> laura: oh, no, no >> sean: you always have a good show. >> laura: no, no, no. that was -- that whole segment was great, that whole segment was great. no, that whole segment was great but anyway, thumbs up >> sean: have a great show i know you will. >> laura: thanks. i'm laura ingraham this is the ingraham angle from an very busy washington tonight we get right to it. our incredible shrinking president. that is the focus of tonight's angle. joe biden thought that he would wipe away the national disgrace of his afgan withdraw by addressing the nation with an angry and hectoring tone today. >> we reached out 19 times to americans in afghanistan with multiple warnings. the decision to lift military operations at kabul airport was

based on the unanimous recommendation of my civilian and military advisors. their recommendation was that the state persuade and secure the passage of the remaining americans and others out of the country was not to continue with 6,000 troops on the ground in harm's way in kabul, but rather to get them out through non-military means. . >> laura: less than two weeks ago, biden said we'd stay until every american got out of the country but today, he claimed leaving 10% behind was a win. >> the bottom line? 90% of americans in afghanistan who wanted to leave were able to leave. secretary of state blinken is leading the continued diplomatic efforts to ensure safe passage for any american who wants to leave afghanistan. >> laura: joe biden thought he would reverse the public's growing distrust of his presidency with bragging and

meaningless counter factuals. >> imagine, if we had begun evacuations in june or july, bringing in thousands of american troops and evacuating more than 120,000 people in the middle of a civil war? still would have been a rush to the airport. the bottom line is, there is no e vac, evacuation from the end of a war that you can run without the kinds of a the complexities, challenges and threats we face. none. . >> laura: and a slew of former top military officials vehemently disagreed with him in a letter yesterday, and they echoed what i've been saying on this show. defense secretary larry elder austin, chairman of the joint chief's mark milley, need to go immediately. the nearly 90 retired generals wrote the consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverb brought for decades our adversaries are emboldened to move against america due to the

weakness displayed in afghanistan. of course the media gave this little coverage today. which is a tad different from how they reacted any time senior military or intel officials hammered president trump. but back to our current shrinking president biden. it's obvious from everything that's happened over the past several weeks that he doesn't care about the outcome here. only what it means for his personal poll numbers. take, for example, today's report about biden's july 23rd phone call with former afgan president ghani, who's since fled the country with a bunch of cash. now biden wasn't focused on the facts on the ground as much as how it would look if things ended up collapsing. in much of the call, biden focused on what he called the afgan government's perception problem. i need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of afghanistan, i believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the taliban.

there's a need to project a different picture. well, once again, he and his team are not emersed in the details of the operation, but, instead, on the optics and the possible political fallout. during trump's entire term in office, all we heard from the left was how unpresidential, how disrespectful he was and how he trampled on political norms. remember all that? but it was mr. joe biden, the most experienced president ever, who was actually unpresidential and disrespectful at the dover air force base this past sunday. now, think about this. all he had to do was stand there and show genuine respect and empathy. but what he'll be remembered for is looking at his watch and some pre funktory comments to parents. >> it didn't go well. he talked a bit more about his own son than he did my son, and that didn't sit well with me.

>> in reference to the checking of his watch, that didn't happen just once. that happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. >> i couldn't look at him anymore after that. just considering, especially, the time and why we were there. it was, i found to be the most disrespectful thing i've ever seen. >> laura: this is who joe biden is. he's always been a small-minded grifter who's generally been considered a self-promoting buffoon for most of his career. that's why he wasn't nominated in 2016 after being vice-president to barack obama for eight years. think about it this way. over the past 50 years, biden never said anything significant or meaningful. never. and it was the same today. his speech was supposed to mark the end of our longest war and, yet, he literally sounded like

any random liberal pundit, like one of the joys, bay har or reed, petty and trivial. even trump hating bill crystal. >> end of the 20 year war you should give a presidential speech reflect on what it meant. instead it was a defense of debating points in a way on what he had done over the last few weeks. the impression is, he's not quite leading the moment i think. >> laura: first of all, i never thought i would ever agree with him again in my life, nor did i ever think i would play a sound bite from bill crystal but there you have it, anything's possible. it's almost as if joe biden's disappearing before our very eyes. he's just not all that relevant. the real political bait will continue between the hard left and the rest of us who want to save america from socialism and decline. at least through the midterms, domestic policy is in the hands of schumer and pelosi.

important foreign policy decisions, going to be largely determined going forward by the eu and china. certainly not by this little fellow. the fact is, the rest of the world doesn't take biden seriously. his own people don't even take him seriously. either they don't let him answer questions, or they carefully choose the reporters he'll take questions from. >> ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here. the first person i was instructed to call on was kelly o'donnell of nbc. >> i'll take your questions and as usual, folks, they give me a list of the people i'm going to call on. >> i'm not supposed to take any questions but go ahead. >> mr. president, on afghanistan -- >> i'm not going to answer afghanistan now. >> can you -- >> can you guarantee every american will be out? >> president biden?

>> president biden? . >> laura: can you believe that? today he wouldn't answer any questions. he was just a warm-up act for jen psaki who occasionally does her best to spin biden's inco-hereens, but biden turned around and made sure to grab that mask. great job, jill. no one in the history of the world has ever changed his or her mind on anything as a result of a joe biden speech, and no one ever will. but after this latest disaster, not a single world leader is paying any attention to joe biden anyway. he and america under his leadership is diminished. everything he touches goes sideways. and then, he ends up getting angry at you when it does. he blames others, as he did with donald trump today while claiming, at the same time, that the buck stops here. let me tell you what a real president would have done today.

he would have taken actual responsibility for what unfolded, and he would have treated the families of the fallen with real respect and real compassion. he wouldn't have talked about his own family or his own loss. he would have fired everyone responsibility for the catastrophe. he would reassure the american people that under his watch, our troops would never again be left as sitting ducks, and that our country would never again be humiliated, as we were in kabul. and a real president, a real man, wouldn't have left 10% of americans behind in afghanistan: he wouldn't have left one behind. unfortunately, for us, for america, we won't have a real president for at least another three years and five months. and that's the angle. joining us now is newt gingrich former speaker of the house and fox news contributor.

newt, has there ever been a less cons ken schall president leading a more in american history. >> i don't think there's ever been in all of american history anyone who, in two or three weeks, has done the amount of damage that joe biden has done. this is an astonishing performance. i don't think you and i could have imagined it. here's a guy who goes in, takes a totally winnable position, throws it away. positions the americans so they can't defend themselves. then decides that he really has to owe our enemies, people he fought for 20 years, they're now our allies overnight, so he has to do what they tell him to do. they instruct him when to leave. and they instruct him, by the way, while keeping $85 billion of american equipment. this whole thing is sending signals around the entire planet

that biden is hopeless, that the united states is out of the game. and it's dangerous, because you can imagine china making a grab at taywan. you can imagine the north korean dictatorship deciding to do something. the iranians have indicated they want to do war games in the gulf with both china and russia, which would be very dangerous for us. all these things are going on. you could also imagine putin deciding to do something very aggressive in ukraine. this is not just a 1-off brief moment in history. this is a man who has broken a sense of respect, a sense of reliability, which we built from pearl harbor day on on december 7, 1941. so we've had that entire period where the world came to believe the united states kept its word, the united states was powerful, the united states had to be

feared. and now we're being led by somebody who looks like a totally scared bunny rabbit in danger of falling asleep. and his performance at dover. >> laura: despicable. >> the most disrespectful. you know, when gold star families attack the president, you know something's really sick. . >> laura: yeah, it wasn't political. >> no. >> laura: it was heart felt. it was common sense and it was heart felt. and we're going to share another story tonight of a mom who's grieving after joe biden's incompetence last week. but, newt, i want to play this for you, because totally untethered to reality joe biden wants people to believe that we're actually safer because of his incompetence. >> if you close 20 years of war and strife and pain and sacrifice, it's time to look to the future, not the past.

the future that's safer. the future that's more secure. . >> laura: newt, did this catastrophic management of this pullout make us positioned to be safer in the future? >> i don't think anybody on the planet, except hard line left wing democrats, believes that. the fact is, the way this happened makes america much more at risk. you have an open southern border. you have at least 5,000 terrorists who have been released from prison from bagram. you have all sorts of people flowing through national borders. the europeans are braced for a huge wave of people coming in. they don't know how many will be terrorists. if you're a terrorist, this is the greatest victory in the landing war with the west that you've he seen in the last 50 or 60 years. every young terrorist on the planet is going to think, let's get out there and kill somebody,

let's get out there and destroy something. and i, frankly, worry about 9/11 from that perspective. these guys aren't going to sit around and do nothing. you know, they're not going to say, i'm really glad the americans left, now i think i'll be calm and peaceful. they're going to take all that equipment and send it all over the planet. >> laura: it's all disabled newt. they can't use it at all, it's all disabled. that's what we're led -- i don't believe anything the biden team is telling us about vetting refugees, about the disabled equipment, about the collateral damage of killing all these kids with the drones. i don't believe any of this until it's verified. newt we have to roll, we have to get to your friend. >> no administration in american history has lied as blatantly. >> laura: right. >> as openly as the biden administration, and that's where you start. if you don't understand, they lie to you all day. >> laura: all the time every

day. newt great to see you thank you so much. despite the fact hundreds of americans are stranded in afghanistan still, biden has his eye elsewhere. >> as for the afgans, we and our partners have airlifted 100,000 of them, and will continue to work to help more people leave the country who are at risk. we're far from done. . >> laura: and he'll have some help a little known us based group the association of wartime allies is claiming there are at least 113,000 afgans who are at risk and they want to leave their home country, too, presumably to come to the united states. but that's just the beginning. the group also estimateed that the number of afgans eligible for expedited immigration status here could be more than one million. joining me now is steven miller former trump senior advisor founder of america first legal. steven, first of all, is there current legal authority to allow for that many individuals vetted

by the same geniuses who carried out this withdraw, to come to the united states? >> categorically there is not, which is why my orange and black, america first legal put forward an oversight request to the administration a document request. the reality is the people joe biden has evacuated from afghanistan were evacuated at random. my government sources have been very clear about this point. they do not qualify for, in most cases, lawful visas for the united states of america, nor are they going to go through the lawful refugee process. so, in other words, the lawful pathways are not being used. instead they're going to use a process used as parole which is basically daca for illegal immigrants outside your borders. in other words, we're familiar with deferred action. that's for illegal immigrants who are already here. this is saying you don't have lawful authority but we're going to let you in anyway.

>> laura: steven the wall street journal is reporting that the government apparently has told agencies, get this, to expect as many as 50,000 afgans to arrive without visas, what you're talking about, through congress -- though conga lotted $500 million for the administration to provide these people some benefits, resettlement leaders say the money won't meet all those needs. >> not even close. and the lifetime cost. >> laura: what are they, per person? >> the lifetime costs are probably going to be a quarter million per family so let's not kid ourselves and think we're even in the realm of what this is going to cost. but i want to be really clear about this point. joe biden's evacuation effort is a catastrophic failure. first, and most importantly, he abandoned u.s. citizens, something that donald trump would have never allowed to happen in a million, billion years. secondly, the people that the administration claims were a priority, interpreters and

translators, people who performed long, well-documented service for the u.s. government, they were left behind, too. as we saw today in the wall street journal, joe biden's, the interpreter who helped rescue joe biden was left behind. instead, they had an airport that was pure chaos. that's why it was so unsafe for the people who were working there, including our courageous soldiers. the theory was, if you can push your way onto a plane, you get to leave. the situation is so bad, if you can believe this, laura, they have to bring in extra translators from overseas to our military bases, because the people they evacuated don't speak english and there aren't enough translators they evacuateed to translate. in other words, if the mission was to evacuate translators they don't even have enough translators to do the translation. >> laura: i keep saying, our heart breaks for everybody who wants to get out of an awful,

rotten corporate regime, everyone in china, everyone in africa, everyone here, our heart. >> syria, libya. >> laura: i mean, name the country. but we're now looking for speakers apparently in our bases in the middle east because we can't communicate with these few translators we have but everyone, i think in the united states is thinking everyone coming out is a translator or did something. >> right, clearly if we had evacuated translators we wouldn't have to send in translators to translate for the people who can't speak english. bottom line, we are looking at long term, over the next ten years, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands through this pipeline if we don't get congress to act. >> laura: yeah, republicans in congress, wake up, okay? wake up. they screwed up withdraw, they're going to screw this up as well. steven thank you >> as mentioned, this administration the pentagon have lied to the american people for the past two months.

we're going to document those lies next and congressman mark green is here with a stunning revelation about what the state department gave to the taliban. stay there.

♪♪ . >> laura: now the biden administration haven't just mishandled the fallout from the afgan withdraw, they've lied to

the american public, lied throughout the crisis. now, it all began weeks before biden's chaotic airlift even began. remember what he told us just last month. >> i trust the capacity of the afgan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more, more competent in terms of conducting war. >> laura: false. the afgan government and its army collapsed within a fortnite. no worries, though, the biden administration at first just pretended this was their plan all along. >> the american forces now on the ground at h kyah are there because of contingency planning and drilling we did the past several months preparing for a range of scenarios including dire scenarios. >> laura: we know that's a lie because the very next day general milley through the national security advisor under the bus. >> following our departure, there was nothing that i or

anyone else saw that indicated a i collapse of this army and this government in 11 days. >> laura: in other words, he's lying, too. this was not part of the plan. of course, the idea that milley or any other top general hadn't seen a shred of intel according to the collapse is far asical. any random person on the treat could have told you the hopelessly collapsed afgan army wouldn't stand a chance with the taliban moving across the country as it was. but the same day milley was deflecting blame for the crisis, biden was giving false assurances. >> so americans might understand the troops might have to be there beyond august 31st. >> and if there's american citizens left, we're going to stay until we get them all out. >> laura: his eyes got really wide when he said that so we're supposed to believe him. as we know hundreds of americans are stuck in afghanistan at the mercy of the taliban and isis k.

the question is when did biden or whoever runs biden decide to abandon them? just a couple of days after falsely promising to leave no american behind, biden was caught in a lie so egregious his own defense department couldn't even cover for him. >> look, let's put this thing in perspective here. what interest do we have this afghanistan at this point with al qaeda gone. >> the president just said that there is no al qaeda presence in afghanistan. >> we know that al qaeda is a presence as well as isis in afghanistan. >> laura: oh, my god. by the time the retreat was on at the kabul airport, biden was in complete denial about the damage that he had done to the american prestige. >> i have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world. >> laura: just days before that

thoughter rans they held biden in contempt. if only congress were that brave. the next day biden made an even more fa salacious claim. >> we know of nowhere american citizens carrying an american passport are trying to get through to the airport. >> laura: within the air they were telling congress the exact opposite. americans were in fact being beaten harassed and having their passports taken by the taliban airport guards. the biden white house is refusing to divulge relevant details about the drone strikes that reportedly killed ten afgan civilians including seven children. did we actually kill isis-k fighters? if so, what are their names? well, just stop asking those questions. >> i don't believe the military have spoken to or confirmed what has been some reporting out there by news organizations. i will note that com's statement

two nights ago, they made clear that their assessment was that there was the vehicle that was the target also had explosives in it and those explosives may have also led to an impact on the ground but there's an investigation that's ongoing. >> laura: well, we don't believe that, even with the hand gesture. time and again, on issue after issue, this administration and our pentagon has misled the american public, who can trust them on anything they say? they have the audacity, though, to think they deserve our trust. but our trust is in retreat. here's another biden lie. his administration vehemently denies giving the taliban lists of americans that need to be evacuated. my next guest played an instrumental role in exposing the truth in the administration's distortions. joinings me is tennessee congressman mark green afghanistan war vet. congressman, what have you learned? >> laura thanks for just pointing out the dishonesty of

this administration. in this case, i was told by americans on the ground, dod inside the perimeter in kabul, the manifest for our aircraft were shared with the taliban commanders. meaning lists of both americans and our sivs that we were trying to evacuate that we had placed on aircraft, put names to seats, they gave that to the taliban. >> laura: so they're just downright lying period. >> they're downright lying. and you cited many. there are many, many other instances during this debacle where president joe biden has either -- it's either intentional dishonesty or he is absolutely out of touch with reality of what's going on in the ground in afghanistan. i mean, and the statements of both policy, their intentions, they're contradicting themselves, the statements of the situation on the ground where the dod secretary, the

secretary of state, within minutes, are contradicting him on their press releases or press conferences. it's just boggling the mind. and it's really angering america. >> laura: in case you thought the biden administration would show an ounce of accountability for the disaster, here's a guy a lot of people believe is actually running the white house, not just the operations but the president, his chief of staff ron klain tonight. >> any effort to unwind, any effort to bring our troops out, any effort to end our military presence in afghanistan, was going to be filled with heart breaking scenes and difficulties. and i think the biden administration's management that as well as it could be managed under the circumstances we were placed in. >> laura: congressman, that's a political calculation that he made in that statement that americans wanted to get out. so it would happen to anybody. do you call this situation, as

ron klain said, successfully managed? >> they're suggesting that it's inevitable that this happened the way that it did. that's absolutely false. i know for a fact that the packages presented by dod to the president recommended more troops, temporarily, at bagram air base, 4500 troops, to secure it for a safe withdraw. he rejected that and pulled a number out of the hat. i want you to go down to 600 people. the leadership at the dod said we can't even secure the embassy with 600 people. he said i don't care. go to 600 people. for him this is about political optics. it's not about taking care of people. it never has been for this president. that's why he's not stopping fentanyl coming across the southern border killing americans. he doesn't care. all that matters to him is his, you know, political poll numbers. that's it. >> laura: congressman, thank you. >> my next guest's son amy staff

sergeant ryan was one of the 13 us service members killed in last thursday's suicide bombing kabul. in a moment she'll tell us about her son and why this didn't need to happen. stay there. knauss cory ton ryton

i'm greg, i'm 68 years old. i do motivational speaking in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

prevagen. healthier brain. better life. you need an ecolab scientific clean here. and you need it here. and here. and here.

which is why the scientific expertise that helps operating rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. seek a commitment to clean. look for the ecolab science certified seal. ♪♪ . >> laura: mean the second grade, ryan knauss knew he wanted to be in the military. his wife whom he met in high school in tennessee said he was a brilliant young man who could have done whatever he wanted, but he wanted to serve his country. and in may, 2016, he did just that. joining the army and serving with distinction. among his awards and decorations, the you were pel heart, the bronze star and many others. he was a stellar soldier. as knauss's commanding officer told it, he always led from the front. and he wanted to be the first one to stand up and serve his nation. what a contrast to what we've

gotten from politicians these days. which makes it all the more heart breaking that ryan lost his life in last week's suicide bombing at the kabul airport. his loving mother, paula, joins me now. paula, we are devastated for your loss and the loss of all of our young men and women, last week and in weeks and months and years before this in afghanistan and the war on terror. but i talked to you earlier this week, but what do you want americans to remember about your son and his sacrifice? >> first of all, i want to thank all those who are in the military and all of their military families, i want to thank you for being a family to all those who wear the uniform. thank you, first of all to

ryan's ninth battalion. he served in the 82nd airborne, and he to those who served in other divisions, thank you. thank you for making this young boy become a man. the armed forces of the united states of america are the greatest forces in the world, and we are blessed that our son spent five years of his life learning how to become a better person, and a better soldier, a better man. the first thing i want to say is, their armed forces are the best and we are saluting you tonight. mothers and fathers who have lost their loved ones, we salute you. we also say to you that you did

a terrific job in keeping americans safe and we are honored, we are simply honored to know that we can sleep at night better because of what you do. you make a difference in all of our lives, and tonight, is just one of many in the nation to say thank you. thank you to every one of you who stand up for the rights of freedom. thank you. thank you that my son did not die in vain, he did his job well. he is a hero, and we salute him also. the united states army and all military branches, you make men and women strong and proud and

honored. thank you for letting our family know how awesome it is to be in the best country in the world, in the best place to live in all of the world. we thank you for that freedom that you give us. >> laura: paula, if you don't mind sharing something maybe about ryan that we weren't able to glean from some of the press reports. obviously he was an amazing soldier. he was a beautiful young man. he was going to celebrate his fifth wedding anniversary on the day, 20th anniversary of the invasion of afghanistan. but what else about him should we know? >> ryan always wanted to serve in the military. his first hour, he did a pushup, so anyone that knows ryan, that that would just be ryan.

ryan had a true passion and desire to see that in this country that we live in, that we don't forget it, that freedom is not free, and that a man who is willing to lay down his life, being able to do that when it's necessary. ryan lived out a life of val or. and we are so proud of him. >> laura: paula, have you had a chance to share stories or memories or, frankly, grief with other gold star families in recent days? either some of the marines or the navy coremen who died in the same attack? any who served with ryan? were you able to talk with them?

>> none of our family have had the opportunity to talk with them. ryan's battalion and some of the officers who are helping us through this time. and all i can tell you is, is that, the united states army, the armed forces of america one of the family and we want to thank the whole military force for their encouragement right now. i know in the days to come there will be much help for us and other families who are grieving right now. some of these men and women came back with all of their parts, but there is heartless in this debacle that they had to leave behind anyone, including americans on foreign soil, no,

no [inaudible]. >> when they need help from our nation. >> laura: paula. paula, i'm sorry to interrupt. we have a bit of a delay here. obviously you know your son better than anybody, maybe other than his wife. and i'm just so heart broken hearing your voice and the voices of so many of the families, many of them are very angry and upset. others are, of course, just drowning in grief. but ryan, what i've gotten to know about him, talking to some of his pals, is that he was just an incredible young man. and people have to understand this about the military. these are incredible human beings. they're so different from politicians, who seek to avoid

accountability. they're all about accountability, day in and day out. would he have wanted any american to be left behind if he could have prevented it? >> ryan told me, in his own words, he volunteered for this mission because he said, mom, if i don't go, you know, just wait your turn. and i said mom [inaudible]. >> i'll be in and i'll be out in no time. he said, mom, it's going to be a [bleep] show. and he said, you just watch. we didn't know just what ryan knew at the time until all of this is beginning to come out. just how horrible these men and

women had to face circumstances and the hasty exit out of the country, trying their best effort to help so many people who were trying their best to flee. there should have been a better way of helping our armed branches get those people who are american out safely, and still leave no man or woman in uniform or in afghanistan or anyone. it should never have happened the way it did. who is accountable for this? who will stand up and say that they will be accountable for the death of 13 young men and women?

who? who will stand up and say i am the one that is responsible? i want to know that. >> laura: paula, everything that you've shared with me privately and, you know, everything america has heard tonight about your son, indicates pretty clearly that he was someone who believed in accountability. hike owning up to it. if you screw something up, you've got to own up to it. today the president said there was unanimity in decision making and that complexities and difficulties were bound to happen. i'm paraphrasing; in any withdraw. so this couldn't have been avoided. does that give you solace? >> anyone who knew and was watching, anyone, any person in this nation who was watching

what was happening in front of our eyes saw that our men and women were not in a pursuit of the enemy, as we had been for almost 20 years. we were running and we were trying to get out of there as fast as possible. this hasty exit was not necessary to finish what we had started 20 years ago. it was not necessary. ryan, and all the men and women in uniform, stand and they take orders and they do their responsibilities, and they face the consequences of not doing them. where in congress, where in our nation's capitol, who will stand up and say, "i messed up"? i am responsible? who will do that.
