the taliban has taken over afghanistan with an unexpected strength and speed that has the body ministration. scrambling to evacuate remaining americans and afghans who helped us forces during the 20 year war. our teacher john hardy, has more. tell a tragic story. desperate afghans hopelessly clinging to the side of the u. s. air force, c, 17 gen. some reportedly falling to their deaths as it took off over cobble inside the jet for some 800 people, flown to the u. s. air force base in doha, qatar. they were the lucky one. at least 7 people were killed as thousands of afghans rushed the how many cars i international airport and cobble trying to escape afghanistan as the taliban continued its fast defensive satellite photo show the airport over run with people, men, women, and children. futilely trying to leave aboard any and all planes. taliban leaders

took over the presidential powers in cobbled sunday, lowering the afghan national flag. skin president, sheriff ghani, lead the country. taliban forces continued to advance over the weekend, taking control of cobble afghanistan's other major cities. the taliban leader mall abdulla connie butler dar called taliban fighters, not to be quote unquote, arrogant as they continue to take control. but a dar will join others senior taliban leaders in cobble, italian, their spokesman. and carter meanwhile, said the taliban will protect the security of afghans and their property on the security of the call the city. and that the, the properties of people, the honor, are not on part of it, and people are not killed. it is important for us to take all the necessary meteor for the security of people. so they

actually are going now, but some fear it will be anything but a peaceful transfer of power with the taliban, despite its messages of inclusivity and peace. hunting down those who helped us in western forces and further subjugating women and other africans, the rushed withdraw from the u. s. embassy and cobble has drawn comparisons to the fall of saigon in 1975, president, inviting, cut short his vacation to fly back to washington. d. c. to address the ongoing crisis as his administration scrambles to do damage control. and president biden speaking from white house, defended his decision, and continue to draw down of us forces in afghanistan, though, admitted that the rapid collapse of the country happened faster than expected. listen, i stand squarely behind my decision. after 20 years,

i've learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw us forces. that's why we're still there. we were clear eyed about the risk. we planned for every contingency, but i always promised the american people that we strayed with you. the truth is, this did on for more quickly than we had anticipated of canister, and political leaders gave up and fled the country. the afghan military collapsed sometime without trying to fight. now the president said that the united states provided the money, the training, the resources, but in the end, the governor military simply didn't have the will, and the us could not provide them the will to fight for their own country. he said, 6000 us troops will be on the ground this week to help with the ongoing really

evacuation. that's what it is. effort as to why the u. s. d and pull afghan sooner . well, the president said some just simply didn't want to leave and that the afghan government, he said, did not want to create panic by allowing the us to pull thousands of people ahead of time that will argue that will be a big point of contention. i'm sure, finally, scotty, the president said that the buck stops with him at a quote. i know my decision will be criticized, but i'd rather have that and pass an endless war on to yet another president and administration and quote, you know that you, john, you know, i find for now and keep you real quick while i have you used the press conference i listened to it, it was interesting because there was really no new information, was almost like a speech that it could give it a week ago. there was nothing specifically addressing what we were, what we're seeing in the videos and the photos going on the streets right now. you know, was there a chance for him to take questions of from journalist i have a feeling, a lot of them had some now that's the short answer. he didn't take any

questions. you know, he left the podium without taking any questions. but the pentagon, pentagon officials are answering questions, they're taking questions, of course, the state department, and i'm sure there's gonna be lot a lot more to come out of this. you know, the bottom line, i think the, the main message that the president wanted to get across. scottie was that he defended his decision. he said it was the right decision to make. he did not want to leave any more quote, unquote boots on the ground. and that they will, that us forces will continue to protect the airport and to get people out of there . but, but now comes to the debate about ok. why weren't people get out, you know, why are not special immigration visas being given to those who did help us forces? who did help us personnel, because those are the people that are now severely at risk and who can't get out of the country. so there's a lot of logistical questions that remain at this point and that's the topic, and those will be ongoing. that will be part of the ongoing debate as we continue

to look at this. and john, i think the key is, most americans are like, great, i'm glad that we came home. it's just how it's been handle, especially the last 2 weeks of it. like you pointed out, it seems like we weren't prepared. why was that not already said? why did we not already get people out of theater before we actually pulled our troops out? because guess what? now you have cast on the streets. i think we're sending our military backend in an even more dangerous situation for john. thank you so much for covering this today. you're welcome. now to give us some insight on the events like a book we bring in for cars when from florida, alan grayson, the arrogance that america has shown in afghanistan and some other places, has been our downfall. it's hubris that defeated us in afghanistan, not to tell about, well, and that's, that's probably a big question. not only applies that goes in, but several other theaters around the world that the us got involved with. i want to talk to you about how quickly the student government actually felt, you know, we keep here with this vietnam britain reference, at least south vietnam,

actually held for 2 months. couple was actually just 2 weeks. do you think those in power in the u. s. government, you order the withdrawal actually thought these governments were prepared to stand on their own, or was that just saying things when they actually knew the truth? certain amount to the military industrial complex has gotten the idea that they can dictate to reality. and that's what you saw there are certainly people inside the u . s. government who were telling other people inside the u. s. government, this is all going to be fine. we. we spent our $6000000000.00 a year building is fighting force. and it's all going to be fine. the problem is they ran up against 2 things. first of all, the people were actually in the african army. didn't feel that it was a matter to them. whether of the foreign occupier continued to occupy the country, or whether a roofless dictatorship, religious dictatorship took over, simply didn't matter enough to them to fight. and part of that was the fact that

we're paying them a $150.00 a month, who's going to risk being decapitated, face to face of the taliban warrior for $150.00 a month. the 2nd thing is that people don't really understand this. there's a cultural aversion, believe it or not to dying and war in that part of the world. so what happens instead is something that goes all the way back to ancient egypt. what happens is that the 2 parties decide who's going to win ahead of time who's going to lose, which is stronger, which is weaker and weaker gives up. so that's what we're actually seeing happening now in afghan. it's then this cultural aversion to dying for the cause on that cause. however, it seems to change to a certain extent. now that a new group is in power, but you know, here's what i get. a congressman. both trump and biting, gave this timelines. the troopers role, do you think it was a smart idea to announce this militarist military stickly, based on everything going on the us, what they were going to be doing when they're going to be gone to the region? do you think that basically gave a timeline as to when everything else can build up against us matters. you know,

the taliban always knew within a 100 or so the size of years forces in afghanistan at a given moment. you have to give them some kind of credit for knowing what's going on inside of our operations, just like we know what's going on inside of their operation. so i don't think that's the deciding factor. what is the deciding factors that we spend years negotiating with? tell then trump came up with an agreement that he was very proud of. he called it a peace agreement and there was nothing in that agreement as a taliban pointed out last week that prevented them from taking over the country. that's really stupid. but the thing is they didn't take over the country until by an accident out, and we started actively withdrawing our client withdrawing our troops. do you think there were any other outside forces that were actually involved in convincing the taliban? that now was the time to get involved besides just the us that we did. we actually caused this chaos that we're seeing on the screen a 100 percent. i think it is fair to say that if we still at $100000.00 troops and

get them to tell that i would not take over. but that's been true now for 20 years that we have. we have more than 800000 us soldiers who retired rep can stand with permanent brain injury injury that you can actually it's so bad that you can actually see it on a brain scan. that's how bad it is. we've lost 2000 plus troops or allies, a last $500.00 plus troops in the country. and we spent 2 trillion dollars. that's due the that you'll find at $6000.00. every single human being in the united states very little which actually reach the african people by the way. so at some point you have to say, that's the choice. are we going to remain there indefinitely for whatever reason you want to conjure up or we going to leave and after 20 years we've left choice. congress and grayson. i mean, i know that's a sad day to day of the fact of everything going on, but i know this is something that you would wish would happen 20 years ago. i know a lot of families wish it would have happened 20 years ago. thank you. so much for joining us. thank you to now when we return,

president trump wanting to pull out completely out of afghanistan, was unsuccessful. and he had democrats are saying the failure of the region today. the large part of the deal made by the former administration. we will give you the $360.00 view after the break, the my recent studies, 90 percent of all the money per thing for all these different programs never leaves wall street. right, so it just stays on walter. util, saying here's an infrastructure bell rose tunnels bridges and they the 2000 paper bill, they numerate all the things where the money is supposed to go, and then they pass the bell. then they authorize the money to be printed and then they sent it for distribution. to wall street races on that very clearly in the money philosophy chart, which is always going toward 0, that never goes anywhere. assisted on wall street balance sheet and they use it to buy expensive property. and that's been the story now for more than 20 years.

oh good, i feel guilty, good. a sick day. marathon of creativity, ability, cultural festival, and the biggest variety is that competition for a few days became a russian cultural capital. 28 categories. ahh from violence, piano to the parenting and data protection. not yours. just throwing up over the

the soon as we continue our coverage of the events unfolding in afghanistan, we're take a look at the transition of power in the country since the years of age in 2001 on june of 2002, how many cars i is pick to head? africana stands transitional government cars i who with the help of the united states in britain, returned to f. kenneth stand from pakistan after the $911.00 attacks to organize resistance to the taliban. on january 2004, with the backup of the us, an assembly of 502 african delegates agreed on a constitution for i've get a stand and create a framework for national elections. on october 2004 cars, i become see 1st democratically elected president of afghanistan cars. i went with the 55 percent of the vote cars i election victory is hit by accusations of fraud

by his opponents. he went again in august of 2009 after more than 2 months of uncertainty followed a disputed presidential election. the election which painted cars i against top contenders. abdul abdullah and ash. raf ghani was flawed by fraud allegations. under international pressure cars, i agreed to a run off a vote. but a week before the run off cars i main rival abdul la pulls out and cars i is declared the winner. during his 2nd term, cars relationship with nato and the united states becomes increasingly strained. and he has been accused several times of corruption. just like in the united states, the president can serve only 2 terms in office. and in september of 2014 i shrunk ghani, the newly elected president signs a power sharing agreement with his chief opponent. abdulla abdulla who had

organized thousands of protesters as he challenged the voting results. despite the truce, the power struggle between ghani and abdul gives taliban strategic advantage. as they start making gains in the countryside. throughout his presidency, the taliban were able to strengthen their presence inside afghanistan. in 2017. the u. s. drops on the taliban. a 21000 pound bomb, nicknamed the mother of all bombs. but it doesn't stop militant from growing stronger. eventually, they become so powerful. that ghani was shut out of peace talks between the us and the taliban. in september of 2019, in august of 2021. president ghani once promised to rebuild. afghanistan fled the country. within hours of the taliban, entering the country's capital, leaving behind a legacy of unfulfilled promises. following the fall of couple and 2021 cars i

decides to remain in couple but his daughters and he appealed to the taliban to respect his life. and that of his family as well as the civilians in afghanistan, by the ministrations defending its actions. afghanistan, saying its hands were tied by the previous administrations, deals that they made with the taliban. now is that a fair claim, as the trump camp is deemed at the fall of couple the saigon on steroids and a desperate rush to flee. i want to get 360 with our panel chat, rochelle african said veteran and founder of the mighty oak foundation and ed martin present as phyllis schafer, eagles, and publisher of eagle actual port. thanks for joining me, gentlemen. thank you. thank you. chad. i want to start with you, 1st of all, thank you so much for your service to our country. i really appreciate that. and you as a veteran, you spent time in africa and i assume what does looking at the pictures of the videos that we have seen over the past few days? what does that say to you? what is that? what's it, what are the thoughts that come to mind as you see the same land that i'm sure you

have fought it in these washed fellows, fellow friends, and brother and sisters in war. what is this doing with you right now? yeah, i did a department stab gas standards for a joint special operations command, job force. my son did a deployment to afghanistan, so lots invested in stand for me and my family and see this one for the just think it's tragic because of nature. my job at 1st hand knowledge of who the jalap is and how heretic the outcome of this will be when afghan people not even mention the over spill of terrorism, that's going to watch me throughout the world globally. you know, tonight, states, when i want to get to that ad but i want to bring and if there's one thing that, as i've watched the coverage of the past few days, it's kind of kind of made me kind of a little right red flag. i see the picture of men trying to get on the airplane. you see him climbing walls. i do have to ask this question. where are the women and children? very rarely are you seeing children on their and yet we're finding reports of these

rape games that are drawing up hit list of girls and widows that are being hunted down for sex slaves. i cannot see this happening america because i don't think the men would leave their women and children behind. but what does this say right now about the people that are left that they're so put to leave their women and children behind the houses at the mercy of the taliban? well, it certainly is disturbing. i agree with you and you sort of shake your head and wonder as you watch a lot of these images. some right now they're showing people that are clinging to planes that are taking off. i look at culture enough. ganna. stan is something very different than us. 8 and all of us can sort of comprehend, and i think we sort of have to, you know, kind of, as we're withdrawing from the country, we have to say, okay, we can't figure everything out. i agree with you those images. we also only seeing a snapshot, right? we're only seeing and we're not being told the truth, i don't think by the, by the ministration. why is it such a failure? look, let's be honest. if you the debate about it would stay in more nod ended and we were getting out of the war. but how we left has been

a debacle and embarrassment and devastating and terrible. and her ran this and it's diminished america in the side of the rest of the world. and so i, what we don't know though is what the intelligence community tell by and why did biden decide something different? what's going on, i, frankly, at this point, i believe nothing that i'm being told by biden, or by the administration, because they're not showing the facts, comported with what's the reality on the ground. and that's i think, a little the disconnect, i think the most it was, they watched the videos and they watched the president's press conference. i kind of scratch and i had, it seemed like there was 2 different realities that were being spoken of. maybe just because biting during vacation this past weekend wasn't paying attention necessarily for the rest of us were being shown. you know, i do want to ask you on the, on this question for it. you know, when you look at trump said he did not want to get out of afghanistan. in fact, we now know as commanders did not tell them the truth. and they kind of led to believe that we were withdrawn when we really were not in that region. that being said, how do you think trump would have handle the straw down and reaction differently

under president trump? and i'm going to throw, you know, i'm with, are that back to you, ed? well, this i, this is very important. i appreciate it. donald trump did something that they talked about with reagan. they called reagan, a cowboy. trump was unpredictable. and the one thing he knew is he make a deal with bad guys, kim jong, on make a deal with people, he'd say, even the taliban. and you say, if you're going to honor a deal, you better do it because otherwise i'm going to come in like a world heard on top of you. and people believed it with biden. it's been this sort of milk. toast mellow, laid back 50 years in washington mindset. and i think the difference would have been that we would have struck a deal with bad guys the taliban. and they would have allowed us to leave in the way we could. and then maybe over the next 5 years afghan austin would be lost, but we wouldn't have this chaos right now. look, we're very close to a situation where we're going to have american hostages. and biden alluded to it in his speech earlier today. he said, we're sending in more military were ordered. i do get a bunch. it's going to turn into black hawk down where we've got 2000 marines in

trying to save 150 embassy workers, and they're surrounded by the taliban. and, you know, across the world, taiwan is paying attention north korea, paying attention and saying with this back, because president and his team, they won't even know what's going on, let alone step up and stop what's happening. it's a very, very big deal. and a very bad day for america. one, chad, i wanna get your opinion on that. but i'll talk about how our president ghani fled afghanistan, russian. alice are reporting he did with cars and helicopters, full cash. do you think he should be held accountable for his government? collapsing in some form very quickly considering 70 people now are being tortured and killed, mainly just for supporting him. absolutely, thank you. should be you should be responsible for every ends up and please to arrive. i think the foundation of this, this who very of whether we should or should, i just want to be told the media has the truth is we have 4000 troops and 4 states. it was the

international. we supported the i live in nashville after national police and he was walking the 1st way for safer to see for because of it. so why do we need to we have 80000 pants. it's worth 240002 germany says 430000 south korea. why is 4000 cincinnati to see why we, why we say, we have to move out in this war. let's see that i haven't been able to answer that basis right now is that you have to leave. i don't believe we have to read. i believe we were participating. wasn't 5 industry. what, what do i ask in like the record international meetings?

we also get low the 3 trying to get. ringback that up place for us. we still have our wet. i've got to get you on one little piece of political partisanship, especially the taliban is actually still on twitter. the former us president is not that concerning concerning. i mean, a sanity i right. we're living in a nation american nation, where we have big tech and big media. big tech is trying to change our minds with neuro science. big media is doing it was about brain washing and big government now is enforcing it. it's insanity right up in the ridge actually right, and left. the only good thing about this is that trump is quieter and more and more people are saying we might have been better off with trump. and i think you're going to see the politics of this by the way, i look back 1976. after the fall aside, gone, the democrats were and largely in power, paid a heavy price politically. now it was after nixon, so got

a carter one of course they paid even more of a price and $7880.00. but i think you're watching a, if there's a free and fair election, big, big if it's going to be a republican sweep next year. be very interesting to cover chad at all. like always thank you for joining us. well, there's been a lot of events going on. i want you to stay with us because that's all the time we have a shout. i promise the conversation and we're going to continue in this issue as far from being done and as news can do for you, stay tuned here to our t america. you can also follow me on twitter at scott and few, he's the hash, our team engage. we will try to keep you updated on the event. now for this showing more much download at the portable dot to the app for your apple or android device too much. they shows tasha. and like always, we deliver the news that you can make your own opinion. we always are grateful for you watching

the news when i went to the wrong one, i just don't need you to fill out this thing because the applicant and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well the part we choose to look for common ground in so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development. only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk a little, you know, mr. moseley, when you said that you left the good to go below what you're going to do. i see you going to show you so you didn't numbers to bring it in the is the mother molar. that's what you will cover. the 1st of all, i don't know if i use them in your voice to follow some

of you so much. not a lot nobody me and he's a sucker. and you say you got a phyllis coming me personally, hon. ah ah ah ah

ah, that lights this our tails angles. scott bulls, ab horses, thousands of afghans trying to flee the country, disturbing images people desperately trying to cling to applying with them to, to take off with some later, plunging to seize control of cobble. we speak to the military group which declared the country's now firmly and its grip. withdrawal of us troops had to be carried out in a strictly organized manner. the world can see that the territory of afghanistan is now under the control of the islamic camera. our mission and gas stand was never supposed to been nation building. it was never supposed to be created to unified centralized democracy. la defiance president biden defend his treatment through blaming de unfolding cast. and.
