no one is certain where they a nobody is certain where they ar or how they are going to get home. what is so interesting is that over the past week this administration has had tens of thousands of nationals that are now going to be moved. they did not seem to encounter any problems in doing this thanks to meticulous planning t change america forever. it's a plan that worked flawlessly but a few dozen americans are trapped in afghanistan. they passed off the portfolio and if there is an american citizen left in afghanistan we are going to stay until we get them all out.

he did not mean this.e what is tony's plan to get all the multiplex as we were told yesterday they had sent a strongly worded letter to be where. you wouldn't want to see them when they are mad. fits the leadership we are goin to need. i this afternoon the president appeared and spoke in public. it's hot and that's just the beginning. he announced we are done in afghanistan forever. we are gone and we are not goin back. then announced we would hunt them down.

this group may be hiding in afghanistan in which case we ma hunt them down there we aren't exactly leaving afghanistan we may go back very soon. the whole speech was thoroughly disorienting. apparently he's under the impression that we've lost electrical power. we completed with a large airlifts in history.ntwe this number is more than double of what most experts thought wa possible. no nation has ever done and you can like this and all of e history. only the us has the capacity an the will to do what we did and we did it today..

the extraordinary success of this mission was due to incredible skill bravery and selfless courage. no nation in history has ever been if you like this. he didn't mean it like this. he acted as if this was the berlin airlift. the invention of yellow pants. it was a triumph of american will. fifty years from now your grandchildren will celebrate. my ancestors did this i think. it was demented it was literall demented over at the white hous they seem to believe every word of this. they are losing consciousness because they are so afraid. here he continues. >> the bottom line is 90 percen of the americans in afghanistan

that wanted to leave for able t leave. >> he went on to repeat what we heard yesterday which is that they may allow that remaining 1 point. he hasn't explained why they ma allow this in the same speech h admitted in the same speech tha yes they have been extraordinarily successful but he missed the factct that the government must follow part in weekend. >> this assumption that they be able to hold on for a segmenof time beyond a military drawdown turned ou

this guy fled the country in on hour without telling anybody. they had no idea but that was a extraordinary success if you as him. it had to be done to avoid this disaster. we had no choice but to leave $90 million of equipment for them to use. we've basically armed them 20 years after we arrived and we made them the best armed military in the world. and that was a great success.. why couldn't they figure out ho to take the equipment the way? nobody has answered this question.

the key thing is we are not ashamed by this at all. they actually wantnt to give th more direct cash payments i can't make this up. talk about . >> when it comes to the economi situation with them it's going to be aboutut the actions. it's going to be about whether or not they follow through on their commitments. their commitment to not allow afghanistan to be a base from which they can attack the us or any other country. it's going to be up to them. we are going to wait and see by their actions how we end up responding in terms of the economic development assistance. i have to think they are sittin around teasing up thinking that

this kid is the national security advisor? may be it's so great. those of us born in the us wouldn't even consider taking them seriously. i couldn't count my kid to get the starbucks order right. they have one of the largest ai forces in the world. the administration is not going to admit anything. we are not going to admit we left a lot of american citizens and schoolchildren in a country we turned over to its rightful owners. nobody is saying that. instead the scholars are going to treat them like the rest of our allies. we will give them money and say ween are having them do what we

told to do. kiper found an obvious issue. they are making decisions that are going to affect your life and the life of many americans.n it doesn't matter who you voted for. the people that are bothered most not surprisingly just lost a lot of power. mark a child that was killed in the bombing. and here's what he said.

they just posted a message on facebook and said you turned to walk away and my blood is on your hands. person was just killed. facebook censored this. a deleted her count entirely. and that is what happens when you contradict the party. what we just saw in afghanistan was a military triumph. you must agree for we've will make you disappear. he needs to do his job competently and well which so far i think he's done is proved what nobody fell as possible so far.od

i think the afghanistan thing went away better than most people would've expected two weeks ago. >> this guy has a track record of failure one of the geniuses that put us there in the first place. 's never apologized for it. in fact he stumbled down callin anybody that disagrees with him he's called unpatriotic. >> what makes us all even more nauseating is that they appear to agree with the. they have no capacity for self freflection. they tweeted of a column from jennifer the silliest person to ever work in washington about what a great job she's doing. >> they deserve more effort for evacuating the americans from

afghanistan. there are americans trapped there and yes they were abandoned by the us military. they must have done that for some reason. it is possible that some people may not make it out.mi it's just like animal health. on the flipside the effort to extract thousands of americans should not go unnoticed or unappreciated. it's not just her issue. it's with the state department believes. those are the peoplele that we told are in charge of rescuing the school could. as americans wonder how we get home to abandon these people an this should not surprise us. it's exactly what the pentagon

has been doing for decades. >> what you've accomplished is extraordinary. over the last year you ejected them up in their home territory. if we can hold this territory and expand the bubble that i think by the end of the year we can turn a corner in this conflict. the end of the year would've been exactly ten years ago. we don't need to single out that. this disaster did not start and days ago it started in october of 2001. if you are getting the sense that the same people have been written the same script for two decades they are still doing it now. watch as the pentagon explains

that this is not to print from what american tourists for doing. >> it's not unlike the way we d this elsewhere around the world. americans get stranded in countries all the time and we d everything we canri to try to facilitate safe passage. let's go on a water slide. it's like that when they take over. we get people when institutions are not held accountable. say whatever they want then no there isn't going to be any repercussions. the people that have been responsible for these failures have called the entire thing an extraordinary success. once he was dumb with the

prepared remarks he just walked away. reporters shouted questions andl for a moment it appeared that h might actually answer question. then we realized he forgot his mask. he grabs it and walk away. >> i think all of us were over the age of 13 revealed knowledg it's a terrible mistake. what's so infuriatingle is the unwillingness to say am sorry. just admit publicly and with sincerity with the rest of us have seen. why can't they do that? >> as the new refusal to do thi consist debacle first began to unfold. i think it's been characterized by the president's response to this.pr we've seen some heroic things done by the military though.

they got as many of us they could but they were responding to an emergency of their own creation. the only military strategists that i know off thought this entire evacuation was seriously under planned and undermanned. it also seemed to rush clearly this is his doing and they wanted out in a hurry. he got the military out of ther as fast as he could. suppose he came out today and said look it was the right decision to get out. but we didn't execute this well and numbers possible.l i regret this deeply and i apologize. i promise if we have to century back in there to get our people out we will. but the bottom line is i'm responsible i am sorry and you're going to be better.

my guess is the public might be much more forgiving if you said that. >> i truly mean this. i would be grateful to hear that. it just seems counterproductive to tell us what we are seeing o television everything is great it's all a success you have to wonder how long they can keep saying that and what exactly is the plan? in political terms what i suspect is that he's going to have to rally the faithful. this was a success eon with anybody imagined he would save. the verdict by a large has been

almost unanimous condemnation. 's pretty will set in the minds of the journalists. the state department and covering the white house. it's not going to be easy to overturn and i think the public may have reached the same judgment o whether they want to let be passed or not. we will see what happens it remains to be seen but i do hav my doubts. >> the administration has brought in tens of thousands of totally un- vetted afghan nationals that have never worke with the us military. but one person that he also lef behind is an actual translator. afghanistan at was not.

erik prince found the blackwate is a very smart person.ze i spoke to him for a recent episode of the show. men from blackwater helped rescue him when he was trapped in afghanistan. they were on a congressional visit in the winter. the helicopter got lost in a snowstorm. it sit down on the side of a mom. us military launched a ground convoy to get them they got los we rescued them from taliban territory. you rescued him? are they grateful? you wouldn't think so no. >> one of the guys in the scene that helped rescue him was an

interpreter called mohammed. they of course brought all the wrong people home. mr. president save me and my family please. >> thank you so much for coming on here all of this talking about the allies and was left behind.eo the majority of savings aren't allies. we are discussing actual ally. its pressure and we are picking the wrong people. >> tucker i'm just going to tel you i don't think that he cares. that's the gravity of this whol thing.e the bureaucrats in washington for a i total of 50 years the o thing is improved in that time is his own bank count. and i know he does not care because nobody has been held accountable since the beginning

of the strategy. right on the show i was here a few months ago and the generals were focused on critical race theory loss of life on the battlefield and just may be the could focus on the withdrawal from afghanistan did not know the president of afghanistan wa going to read our text messages. we seated them to the tailback and the allow them to protect american citizens. now tragically we have american that are dead. 00s if not thousands are trappe behind enemy lines. there is something wrong from a leadership standpoint there's a massive disconnectde between people on the ground that are serving and the people that are serving american positions.

where frankly i think they have forgotten what leadership is. leadership lesson number one is not about you. leadership is about serving others. true leadership is always going to be beyond career politicians. that's how they are it's how they are wired. it's all they care about and i think we're seeing the lack of attention playing out in afghanistan right now. >> it is a lack of tension in the lack of caring. l thank you very much. >> american citizens aren't the only ones that were left behind. this might upset you because yo may have already seen this on the internet. people are stranded and afghanistann.

there's pitchers of these peopl all over the internet. in the end the dogs the caretakers are not allowed to board military aircraft. charter aircraft were not granted access to the airport. if you think about the expense and the effort and the danger that american soldiers have bee put in to rescue the citizen that we call our allies i think i've got four dogs at my house.e some americans care about dogs. thank you so much for coming on. there are pitchers and here is one of course on the screen tha are just infuriating.

that is an excellent question. the reality is we haven't heard just americans but from former employees at the department of defense that are deeply concerned that only 200 dogs were left there. we are also talked what service and working dogs. most of the american forces worked with him. and believe it or not these are animals that have belonged to american families. they have been released onto th streets to fend for themselves. they have no survival skills an don't stand a chance unless it is intervention and that's what we are calling on the president to do now.

>> of every culture appreciates dogs the way we do. dogs as you pointed out do not stand a chance on the streets. that don't take up much room is there a reason? it is so transparently cool why would you do that? we've asked them why this happened. we've asked them to rectify this. we've encouraged americans that carol this issue to join us. 's about companion animals in the street dogs that were rescued. now we are turning back onto th streets of afghanistan.

we are not people that keep dog off planes we just aren't. thank you for coming up tonight. >> there is so much going on in afghanistan you may not have heard about you. they want to hand over the test and the personal communications data. this has never happened in history. marjorie taylor green handed over texts. signed copy.

we will be rightack.

he provided the show with a statement. the attempts to strong-arm private companies into releasin private data would put every american with a phone in the crosshairs of the surveillance state. if these companies comply they are in violation of federal law and could potentially lose thei ability to operate in the us.th the majority should not forget and hold them fully accountable. this sounds at a threat and we proven it is. marjorie taylor green is one of the members was private indications of being demanded. thank you so much for coming ona >> i know if you voted no way that she did not like she was strong-arm you to turn over you

harping on kevin for being weak a promise of threat whatever yo want to call it. i don't see any other way out o this other than to make the threat. o >> we have to make is that clea because mers of congress can have a personal cell phone data exposed so our colleagues e can rifle through this he could hur us politically in the next election and we are going into dangerous place as a country that's no longer republicans an democrats it's more like the communists and the non-communist. if the american people because we never want to have federal government where they are willing to break the drill off and violate our privacy and demand from private companies t hand over the data. these cell phone companies

better not play with the democrats. the republicans are coming back into the majority in 2022. >> you should shut this down. would that be okay if she force a private security company to raid your house at three in the morning? where is this going? this is the craziest thing i've heard in memory. it's outrageous and you should all know is democrats are not the democrats that you voted for. they don't care about your privacy they will do anything t achieve political gain even if it means violating federal law. if they go along with this they will be shut down. that the promise. here very shortsighted. fifteenth year going to rule forever.

. >> tucker: thinking, you know, kabul fell in a day, the president of afghanistan, the college professor got cash and >> tucker: thinking, you know kabul fell in a day, the president of afghanistan, the college professor got cash and left and most of us were really surprised by this because for 20 years the foreign policy establishment and its many lickspittles in congress have assured us that everything was fine. we're building democracy. we're doing a great job. that's what our trillions were buying. what do those people have to say now. what does lindsey graham have to say about that. at some point we're going to put together a montage talking about how great afghanistan is for tha last 20 years and ask him did you believe it when you this? he's always welcome to the show to explain. maybe he'll come. nearly 2,000 survivors of 9/11 20 years ago as well as first responders and the family members of many of the victims have just sent a message to joe biden. they don't want biden to attend

the memorial event commemorating 9/11 unless he declassifies american intelligence documents detailing what the government knew about 9/11 before 9/11. that's still classified. brett is one of those family members who joins us tonight he lost his father on 9/11. brent thanks so much for coming on. it's hard to believe as we approach the 20 year anniversary, the us government through all the different administrations has continued to hide intel about what it knew before 9/11. why are they hiding this? do you have any good theories? >> tucker, i don't know the answer to that, and i wish somebody would provide it to us. but the justification for d government secrecy itself is classified. the government has invoked the states secret principal on all documents related to said rain's involvement on 9/11 and the justification for the principal itself is classified. so it's painstakingly hard for us as family members to be 20

years on and still be begging our government for closure. we have begged everyone. we have met with senators fromn both sides of the aisle. we have begged from administration to administration. and the u.s. government abandoned americans in afghanistan just like they're abandoning the 9/11 families. and it's a really hard think to come to terms with, tucker, is that your government doesn't have your back. we have been fighting -- i've been on your show a handful of timess and thank you for coverg this by the way. i've been on cnn. it's just astonishing to me tucker, why our government fails to release this information, and the message to president biden remains that, unless you honor your campaignom promise to us don't bother coming to 9/11 because we refuse to go through another ceremony where a political leader stands up and t says how much 9/11 means to them

and how much they grieve for us and how important it is, yet behind closed doors, thwart us thwart our efforts and thwart closure. >> tucker: i just have to say i don't believe for a second this has anything to do with said rain. nobody cares about said rain. this is protecting, i think u.s. officials, american. like how did they screw up? if history is any guide, the people they're protecting is usually themselves? right? i mean, the saudis? come on, do you really think this is what this is about? >> tucker, i mean, there is a lot of theories, right? and the biggest theory out there is embarrassment, embarrassment by our own failures embarrassment because of the fact that since day two we kneww very much thet saudis were involved but started the war in iraq. one point i wanted to make and w yourar former colleague catherie herridge just broke the story which was lost in the shuffle of afghanistan over the weekend.

catherine herridge broke a story about pilot, pilot brown was his name, who was approached by the fbi in 2012 about a documenti that the fbi found in a saudi government employee's apartment. do you know what that document was, tucker?ha it was a diagram of how to fly a plane into a building? how much more of a smoking gun can you get than that? but somehow this document gets lost in the news of afghanistan and somehow the government fuels like they're justified in keeping this information from me and thousands of other family members. what reason is it that our government continues to keep this information under lock and key? there is a crew, there is a group, within the fbi, as wewe speak, as i sit here today, i assure you, there is a group within the fbi that was there prior to 9/11, and that they used the bureaucracy to prevent this information from seeing the light of day and we need a president to stand up for once and for all and take our side. >> why are we taking taxes?

i'm not surprised herridge broke this, she's excellent one of the few i pay attention to. god speed, we appreciate you coming on. >> tucker thank you we continue to have us on and we continue to be grateful. thank you seven sir. a >> tucker: always. that's it for us tonight we'll be back every night at 8:00 the show that's the sworn enemy of lying pomposity, smugness and groupthink and generally the enemy of absurdity. sean hannity takes over >> sean: thank you and welcome to hannity we begin with this fox news alert. major breaking news at this hour out of afghanistan. according to a phone call just obtained from reuters from july president biden warning president ghani who fled with all the money that the fight against the talibanan was not going well and that he needed to change the perception. endon quote, there is a need whether it's true or n,
