the latest on the situation there. today's remarks are expected to focus almost solely on evacuation efforts of americans and afghans. the remarks come as we just learned another troubling development. not a single flight has left the kabul airport in eight hours. let me repeat, no flights have left in eight hours. we know qatar said no to more plane loads of afghan. the u.s. has evacuated about 3,000 people from kabul yesterday. another 9,000 in total evacuated since kabul started to fall last weekend. keep in mind the pentagon said earlier this week it hoped to quickly ramp things up to a point where they could evacuate as many as 9,000 people per day. so we're basically doing what we hoped would be one day's worth of work in one week. complete being pressed repeatedly yesterday, officials have not been able to say how

many americans are left. it's not just about getting people out of the airports, it's about getting people into the airport. the situation outside of the kabul airport is growing more desperate. the scene is pretty chaotic. american troops worry if they open the gates people will simply flood in. and we saw what happened when that took place earlier this week. the pentagon confirmed this a marine lifting a baby over the walls of the airport. it was taken to a medical treatment center. in a subsequent interview, the president said that this cay chaos we're seeing now was inevitable. now the president will try a third time this week to explain to the american people why this process seems to have gone so

terribly wrong. i'm jonned by monica alba. also with us is the washington post correspondents, all of them have been to the region so many times it's hard to count. monica let me start with you. the purpose of the speech, the fact that they feel like they have to give another feature in afghanistan sending the signal that so far the messaging has not had the impact that perhaps the white house hoped it would. >> the president came out just as defiant as ever. on wednesday he doubled or tripled down depending on your interpretation of that ber view with abc news. the president has no regrets

about how he made this decision. he said it is always going to be chaos ensuing because of what happens when the taliban takes over. that's the tone we expect but just to bring you behind the scenes here, we're looking at when the president is supposed to be taking. the speech will be delayed and that's because they're dealing with a scramble and courtney can speak to it in greater detail about no flights taking off from kabul in the last eight hours. they are working to see how they can get that restarted. what other countries might be in the mix here. but there is no way the president will be speaking

eminently. the president after these remarks was supposed to go to delaware for the weekend to attempt some kind of part three of a vacation that was scuttled because of the afghanistan crisis. they now canceled that today as well as he deals with the up-to-the-minute up dates. they wanted this speech to be about looking forward, not backward, i'm told. >> let's go right to courtney kube. no flights. qatar saying we hit our capacity of afghans that we'll take. i take it we would -- more planes would take off if they had a place to land? >> yes, i can tell you now we just heard from u.s. air force officials at air mobility command saying there was at least one flight that has taken off in the last two hours or so. it's unclear exactly if that

means the pause has ended. what is clear is that where the u.s. military had ramped up to, you know, somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 to 17 flights in every 24 hours in the past day or so. they really moved up to the number of flights that were coming and going from the kabul international airport. today, friday, the pace has slowed down dramatically. there was an extended period where no flights were taking off. look at what they have done. they moved several thousand people in and out a short period of time. they are flying them into qatar. when you bring thousands of people in you can't fit more people. they take them in and they have to care and feed for them and they're not immediately taking them to another location. we were talking earlier in the week about the bottlenecks that

existed in the checkpoints, getting them into the airport, then manifesting them, getting them on flights, and get them out. now we're having a fourth place with a logistical bottleneck, which is a place to send thousands of people. there are thousands of people waiting to get on flights and there is a frantic scramble to get these people waiting at the airport on these flights and find a place to send them. the u.s. government is in negotiations right now with a number of different locations both in europe and in the central command area about being able to send some of these evacuees and americans to get them out of kabul and other locations. most likely they will be talking about the communities in europe. >> i assume that what the state

department is taking the lead on which is desperately looking for a place to deliver afghans. what countries are suddenly not being cooperative that were. >> just now i got an e-mail that wendy sherman, the deputy secretary of state spoke to the foreign minister of uzbekistan thanking them what they're doing for americans and for what they're going to do for the temporary relocation of vulnerable afghans. it seems like they're playing telephone calling around the region. we know that vladimir putin said in geneva to the president that he did not want those in his sphere of influence to be relocation sites. and just today putin was suggesting that he was going to recognize the taliban. but he is moving in that

direction. going back today, and his speech with angela merkel and also the chinese already. back to a point of where they're going to go the secretary of state also talked to the leaders of qatar and thanking them. seeing if they can take more. so you can see they're on the phone, trying to find a place for these people and this is, as we learned in the last 24 hours, this decent cable, that is a very special kind of protest. that is really protected. it goes directly to the secretary of state. it's not to be interfered with. that is the way diplomats over decades have been able to reach their higher ups especially in an emergency. we know now in july they were saying to the secretary of state this is coming undone, it's not going to hold, very urgently, and they say now that they, in

the next few days, didn't accelerate or cut red tape, but the defense military caucus, both parties complaining they authorized money and eliminated a lot of red tape on that special visa program in july and nothing was done. >> garrett i know you're pretty well sourced in this state department world as well. why are these calls being made now? this is not a shock that we were going to need a lot of other countries to bring afghans out. this was inevitable that this was going to be necessary. and it -- we're scrambling on this, too? >> yeah, chuck. as andrea was talking about. the decent letter this summer. there was a lots of other warnings coming in they said

look we need more contingency planning than we see happening around us. those warnings came from officials, a number of ngos, and organizations of the last three years to try to get afghanistans out. a number of important voices around the white house saw the problem, realized that there really was not enough capacity, enough organization being put to these logistical questions. and on the question of where to land the planes, many countries are willing to take people but they have their own considerations. some want a level of vetting. some want essentially u.s. escorts. some want food and money, some want a variety of other things and each one, the pentagon

really, the frontline negotiator at this point, as to negotiate and get every part of this. >> yeah, and the deal is, just to be crass about it. whatever it is we have to pay now to get a country to help us out, the price is higher because here in a more desperate situation. we're talking about where to land these planes, what are you hearing about those that we're trying to get out of the country that can't even get to kabul yet. >> yeah, chuck. there is a very real problem of where people can go. where the planes can land. the backlog as courtney described it. but in kabul, the people that i have been talking to, there is a a lot of chaos outside of the airport. i have been in touch specifically with a couple family that's have been in hiding. both of them because they worked with u.s. and other allied nations over the last 20 years on education projects,

infrastructure projects, and so on and they have been targeted and they're not eligible for this siv program that we have been hearing so much about. the special immigrant visa program. they were not direct employees, it was government affiliated projects or american institution affiliated projects but they're still targets. and they're vulnerable and trying to leave. they did manage to get on an evacuation list from another flight. from an allied list, but they went through at 8:00 last night. a father, a mother, an 8-year-old daughter, and they could not get near the airport. what they told me was that it is basically chaos. they said it was like dooms day and that it was not the taliban creating the problem. they said it was the u.s. army soldiers that were not able to secure the location. who were firing indiscriminantly into the air throwing what he

called sound grenades into the crowds, and kind of not being able to control the situation. i think what is baffling for so many people as they watch this is how were plans not put into place? even once the chaos broke out outside of the airport why were not enough resources sent to security that area and to have some kind of orderly process. we heard about some other nations with is a smaller footprint on the ground. for example pakistan arranging shuttle buses to meet their nationals. none of that is going on with the u.s. right now and none of that is going on with a few other nations with larger contingents on the grounds. and yes it is absolutely true that the timeline that we heard again and again did not catch us by surprise. it was in may i talked to the president and he said i will die with my country men

before handing power over. but all of the while the taliban was advancing. what is it on the ground that failed to see this coming. >> courtney, i'm curious. are you getting -- what is the pentagon saying about the reports that we keep hearing where the airport is secure, but maybe it is not. >> we're consistently hearing that the military is securing the airport. marines and soldiers there, they say it is secure and they're able to open two more gates to bring in these afghans eligible for the process, and the potential other process, so that is -- we're told that, but it

doesn't mean that the overall situation is solved. there is still the problem of getting through the chick points. this is the logistics of this situation, why there was a massive scram tobl do this in a couple of days. we are talking about a cable that was sent in july. i was in kabul on july 13th. on that day i interviewed general frank mckenzie and i say what are some of the concerns. he was concerned about the on-going taliban offensive. he said the taliban were already

seriously threatening kandahar. this notnhat all of a sudden this popped up two weeks ago and they birdie able to storm through the case, that's not true and there was a concern. there is now a colleague here saying that the state department the diplomats said in addition to the military more than a month ago there was an urgency to do, to get these people out, and it existed way before this mission started on august 14th. >> courtney, why are we handing baghram over before we got people out. it eems like a real whiff here. >> yeah, i understand. two big reasons it didn't make sense is that it is not -- it is outside of kabul. as hard as it has been right now

to get people past these check points, getting them way out to bagram is not easy. i can tell you i have driven the road from kabul to bagram before. i imagine there is taliban check points along it now. so maybe people that don't have the ability to get themselves out there. but beyond that it is a bigger base. it takes tens of thousands of people to secure the base. you could theoretically get more flights coming and there is more room to keep people. it may make it not as easy of a target. so i see the argument on both sides, but the big issue with turning over bagram is that was the last straw for the moral of the afghan military. when the u.s. turned over bagram

and the way they did it, it signalled that the support from the u.s. is mostly gone. the medivac, the intelligence, everything that you relied on for years was a moral killer. that was the bigger strategic impact of closing bagram. >> thank you, i'm going to sneak in a break here. something we didn't think we would be able to do. any update here, they just are simply waiting to have more, waiting for something positive to aabout the flights? >> no timing update yet on this speech, chuck. the pool of reporters that would go for the remarkets has not even been called yet. so we're looking at the chunk of time here to wait for this to start. >> chunk of time, an official forecast that we use here these days. no worries i know the feeling of

the tap dancing. we're all sticking around for this, but i'm going to sneak in a commercial break here. up next after another dependent targeting the capital, he is in court right now days after federal authorities warned again about the rise of domestic violent extremism and the threat to us as americans. e threat to us as americans ♪ ♪ when technology is easier to use... ♪ barriers don't stand a chance. ♪ that's why we'll stop at nothing to deliver our technology as-a-service. ♪ people with moderate to severe psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis, are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create

it is worth noting this is the third security incident at the capital complex this year. it comes as officials are warning about the growing threat of terrorism. there is anti-government and racially motivated violent extremists. fuelled by covid-19 restrictions and other grievances. joining me now is clint watts. he focuses on a lot of these things particularly in the digital space. after we saw the incident yesterday, it was a bulletin of this, and we have a situation in afghanistan where there is fear of the rise of international thunderstorm and a domestic threat. what concerns you? what is concerning to us right

now? >> chuck, absolutely. it is domestic extremism at this point. if you went out today on social media you would see calls for anti-mask protests, anti-vaccine protests. people being told they have to get a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate. this is the third incident that we have even at the capital just this year. this is really the tipping point as we head into fall. part of the reason we didn't see mass shootings or mass attacks last year. that dynamic is changing and we have intense political partisanship and you have elected officials like mo brooks last night seems like they're denying that this is siding wit. >> it is a surprise. and i want to make a comparison to what bernie sanders did after

the shooting of steve ska scalise. he said while this is not publicly known, and generally speaking i understand the anger. this is not the way to fight back. >> he would say hey, i'm telling people to do this at the ballot box, but he put his arm around this person essentially. >> an extremist in this country still votes. international terrorists don't. when you look at how they're playing this line, also saying oh, you know, we don't want anyone to get hurt, commending the police.

and the police in danger, and trying to play it both ways. the problem is when they do this eventually someone will show up at the capital and get who might be there that day? mo brooks is relying on the police out there. as they try to play it both directs the devil will ultimately come and it will play out in a way that is out of mo brooks control. >> he will be an interesting witness when he gets called to testify before the january 6th committee. let me ask you what you're seeing digitally right now. this was a month that qanon and qanon like people there was an idea that former president trump would be back in office and there was resonance, friday the 13th came and went, it didn't happen. you would think these misses by these grifters, if you will on social media would give them less influence, are you seeing

that or not? >> no, what changed is the social media platforms. telegram is where you go to get an understanding of what is going for domestic extremism on the far right. the hardest thing that i have seen is on some of the far right the open support of the taliban. one of the craziest phenomenons that i have seen. >> what's the rational? >> it is that they are god faring, god believing, conservative, and a masoganist angle. they speaking out in unity with the tal back. al taliban. >> that atortarian streak, i guess, that is a dotted line

we're now averaging over 130,000 cases per day according to the cdc the delta variant is responsible for some 90 plus percent of those cases particularly in southern states where vaccination rates still remain hospitalizations with children are at the highest levels that we have recorded yet, and as hospitals say it is getting worse. alison, i know you will report on this, the thing that blew me away this morning is the health defendant made a special rule to allow emt to perform nursing duties right now because they're that short of nurses.

>> yeah, there is over 16 00 people hospitalized because of this virus. as of yesterday evening they had less than ten icu beds available. there is two field hospitals in parking garages at this hospital. they were constructed within six days of each other. there was eight in the time that we were standing outside of that garage. they need critical care. this is a huge deal, and the state's top health official has been reiterating it again. saying the only way out of this mess is through vaccination. right now the state is among the least vaccinated in the country and in the last couple they have seen their numbers grow.

hospitals will start seeing an impact. we spoke to a politician, a state senator, who in his own words was an antivaxer. he decided to role up his sleeves, thereon why. >> i have been an anti-vaxer. . you don't really know what the long-term side effects could be, but i'm a numbers guy as well. watching the numbers pour in to the department of health, seeing the surge, 98% were unvaccinated individuals, it was a common sense thing for me to know that yeah, i wish i would have done it back in january. but hindsight is 2020. this is some serious stuff.

>> he is hoping that by speaking out now and talking to us, other people who are unvaccinated and maybe lane the same way that he does politically, they they will reconsider not getting vaccinated. >> it is sad that this is what it is taking, but it is taking unvaccinated people on a rising covid case rate. at least there is something to motivate people. thank you, as we await president biden's remarks we have a update to a story from earlier. this baby has been reunited with the baby's father and is safe at the airport. the baby was take ton a medical treatment facility and was cared for by medical professionals. they called this "a true example of the professionalism of the

this at a time when social distancing is more important than ever. >> in many districts the familiar yellow buses are carrying more kids, traveling further, and taking longer rides than ever. >> we have to combine bus runs. you can imagine it is supposes to be 30 minutes and now it's 50 minutes. >> the national shortage forcing some schools to scramble. they are asking parents to carpool. >> asking parents to be the solution to this problem really is not the solution. >> some school districts are offering lucrative bonuses to lure in drivers and even that is not doing the district. >> we're looking to fill 100 driver positions and we had 16 thousand up at our last job fair. some are saying they're shying away from the job because they're worried that being close to kids will expose them to

covid. especially if they're not required to wear masks. >> they can be hospitalized because of the covid from one of the students. >> even at $19 with set hours and no weekends, district administrators say drivers remain scarce. >> we have an interview and no one comes. >> here in orange country. now because of the shortage of bus drivers, they're putting more kids on the bus in some cases as many as 77 kids and the unemployment across the country that is quite stark. take, for example, a 5.5 unemployment rate. you would think with salaries and some cases bus drivers getting up to $18 an hour with

bonuses and incentives that that would be enough, but here in orange county they're competing with the private sector at the same time. at this area, they hire people for transportation as well. no matter where you are in the country, whether or not it is driving a school buss, hiring people to work many of these jobs many say there is a problem, people don't seem to want to go back to work, chuck. >>. >> absolutely. this is an interesting problem for drivers on all levels. kerry sanders in florida, reporting on one of the pieces of this labor short an evil. we'll turn to a whole different story concerning kids and covid. competition that brings together the best little league teams was

conditionals, but it is back with some pandemic modifications. dasha burns has the changes and what the players think of them. i'll tell you most of these players i assume are unvaccinated and this is right on the line of the 12-year-olds, yeah. >> yeah, i did score on assignments. it's a pretty exciting day. i just saw the florida team walk into the stadium here. the first game just kicked off but you're right most players are 10 to 12 years old. most are unvaccinated, and this looks very different. you see the obviously difference right now. formally it is fun zones, look at this concession stand here, no one in line, you can get your hot dog faster, you have florida

fans for you here. a lot of excitement. >> some people coming through. there are a litany of rules for players and attendees, anyone attending and they come indoors. anyoner into acting with players needs to wear a mask including the umpire and the kids are getting tested every other day, same with any team members that are not vaccinated. i talked to one star player, a young lady who is the only female player this time around. she plays for texas and she is making her little league debut tonight. take a listen to what she told me. >> in texas we don't have to wear them if we don't want to so

we had to get a lot of new masks. but when we got here we had to start wearing them again and being more careful. at reelals three teams tested positive and had to go home. that's when we real estated we had to really be extra careful. if we had to go home for covid i think we would all feel really bat about that. >> a lot of changes, but one thing that did not change is the enthuse yask from the kids on the field. >> i love hearing that from this young player. they had to quit because too many of them tested positive. very interesting to hear that moth vags. dasha burns no international

teams this time. dasha, thank you. we got our two minute warning so we expect to hear from the president in a few minutes. amna, we're sitting here tap dancing, and we know why this is delayed. i think it just shows you the tricky politics here that the president is trying to do as much internationally. >> it is really tough for the president, he always pledged that he would have be very straight with the american people. certainly when it comes to the war and let's not forget that he has been very blunt about his

message. the policy was unfolding in the ground there and when he finally decided that he would be the president to end america's longest war, we knew there would be an element of chaos. no president, regard res of who was in power, was going to leave cleanly. but the buck does stop with him right now and the message as we all noted before in the previous weeks and months that has been ordered. that he won't leave anyone behind. here we are watching this chaos unfold. >> here is the president, vice president, secretary of defense, and secretary of defense. >> secretary austin, the national security advisor, other members of the national security leadership team in the situation room. to discuss our ongoing efforts to evaporate american citizens.

afghan al lies and as a rule herbal afghans. i want to provide a brief update on the situation in afghanistan. since i spoke to you on monday we made significant enabling the flights to resume, and not just military flights, but civilian charters from other countries and the ngos taking out civilians in vulnerable afghan, vulnerable afghanis and now we have almost 6,000 troops on the ground including the 82nd airborne providing the runway security, the army 10th mountain division standing guard around the airport, and the 24th marine expedition division securing the departure. this is one of the largest and most difficult airlifts in history and the only country available of projecting this much air power on the other side

of the world with this precision is the united states. we have evacuated 16,000 people since july and approximately 13,000 since the military lift began august 14th. thousands more have been evacuated on the private charter flights facilitated by the u.s. government. these number include american citizens and permanent residents as well as their families. it includes the siv applicants and their families and those afghans who have worked alongside us and served alongside us, and gone into combat with us, and provided invaluable assistance to us such as interpreters and translators. the united states stands by the commitment that we have made to these people, and including other vulnerable afghans such as women leaders and journalist, and in with the management of the washington post and the "wall street journal," we have successfully evacuated all 204 of their employees from

afghanistan from aircraft earlier this week, and we have established the flow of flights and increased the number of people we are moving out of the country. we have paused the flights from kabul earlier this morning to make sure that we could process the arriving evacuees at the flight, but the commander in kabul has given the order for the outbound flights to resume. even with the pause we have moved out 7,500 evacuees yesterday. we are still verifying the number, because we don't have the exact number of americans who are there and those who may have come home to the united states. we want to get a strong number as to exactly how many people are there and the american citizens and where they are. just yesterday, among the many americans that we have evacuated, there were 169 americans who over the wall into

the airport using military assets. we are also facilitating the allies and our partners. and we are working in close operational coordination with nato on this evacuation. for example, we provided overwatch for the french convoy bringing hundreds of their people from the french embassy to the airport. these operations are going to continue over the coming days before we complete our drawdown. we are going to do everything, everything that we can to provide safe evacuation for our afghan allies, partners and afghans who, who might be targeted, because of their association with the united states. but let me be clear, any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. it involves risks to our armed force, and it is being conducted

under difficult circumstances. i cannot promise what the final outcome will be and that it is without risk of loss, but as commander in chief, i can assure you that i will mobilize every resource necessary and as an american, i offer my gratitude to the brave men and women of the u.s. armed forces who are carrying out this mission. they are incredible. as we continue to work the logistics of the evacuation, we are in constant contact with the taliban to work to ensure safe passage to the airport. we are particularly focused on our engagements making sure that every american who wants to leave can get to airport where we have been seeing the challenges of the americans, and for americans that we have thus far been able to resolve them. we have made, and look, we have -- we have made clear to the taliban that any attack, any attack on our forces or

disruption of our operations at the airport will be met with swift and forceful response. we are also keeping a close watch on any potential terrorist threat at or around the airport including from the isis affiliates in afghanistan who were released from prison when the prisons were emptied, because they are by the way, to make everybody understand that the isis in afghanistan are, have been the sworn enemy of the taliban. i have said all along that we will maintain a laser focus of the coordination of the allies and the partners and all of those who have an interest in insuring stability in the region. secretary blinken met with the allies about the consultation of moving forward so that afghanistan cannot be used as a

terrorist base in the future to attack the united states or our allies. for 20 years, afghanistan has been a joint venture with our nato allies. we went in together, and we are leaving together. now we are working together to bring our people and our afghan partners to safety. the past few days i have spoken with the british prime minister johnson and chancellor merkel of germany and president macron of france. we have all agreed that we will convene the g7 meeting next week, and group of the world's leading democracies so that together we can coordinate our mutual approach, and united approach from afghanistan and forward to execute the mission at hand as partners. we have discussed the need to work with the international

community to provide aid for those who have crossed over to neighboring countries to escape the taliban and to bring pressure to the taliban in respect to the treatment of the afghan people overall and in particular to the treatment of the afghan people and in particular girls. the last week have been heartbreaking seeing the afghan people acting out of sheer desperation. it is understandable they are frightened. they are sad and uncertain of what happens next. i don't think that any one of us can see the pictures and not feel that pain on a human level. and now we have a mission, a mission to complete in afghanistan. it is incredibly dangerous operation for the military. we have almost 6,000 of america's finest fighting men and women at the kabul airport. we are putting their lives on

the line, and they are doing it in a dangerous place to save other americans, our afghan allies and citizens of our allies that went in with us. you know, i talk, i talked to our commanders on the ground there every single day as i just did a few hours, an hour or so ago and i made it clear to them, and we will get them whatever they need to do the job. they are performing to the highest standard under extraordinarily difficult and dynamic circumstances. our nato allies are strongly standing with us. their troops are keeping alongside ours in kabul as is the case whenever i deploy our troops into harm's way, i take that responsibility seriously. i carry that burden everyday. just as i did when i was vice president and my son was deployed to iraq for a year.

there is going to be plenty of time to criticize and second guess when this operation is over, but now, now, i am focused ondone. i would ask every american to pray for every man and woman sacrificing for this nation. in the coming days my team and i will continue to share information and update the american people on exactly where things are and we will use every resource necessary to carry out the mission at hand and bring to safety american citizens and our afghan allies. this is our focus now. and when this is finished, we will complete our military withdraw and finally bring to an end 20 years of american military action in afghanistan. thank you and may god bless our troops and the diplomats and those serving in harm's way and

now i will take questions. a.p., zeke miller. >> thank you, mr. president. you have promised in afghanistan to bring out those who have helped america and the war effort, and we have seen these heart wrenching efforts of getting the people out at the airport, but what about those who have not been able to make it to the airport and will you make the same commitment to those who have assisted in the american war effort in the last 20 years, number one, and number two, what is the message to america's partners around the world who have not criticized the withdrawal, but the conduct of the withdrawal and questioned america's credibility on the world stage. >> i have seen no question of our credibility around the world. we have spoken to the nato allies and the secretary of the state, and the national security
