10:38 am
said last thing the us wants to do is cause civilian casualties. make no mistake. no military on the face of the earth works harder to avoid civilian casualties than united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life taken. we take it very, very seriously. if we have, you know, verifiable information that we did in fact take innocent life here, then, then we will, will be transparent about that to. nobody wants to see that happen. but you know, what else we didn't want to happen. we didn't want to see happen, what we believe to be a very real, a very specific and a very imminent threat to the how many cars international airport and to our troops operating at that airport as well as civilians around it and in it. but kirby and other pentagon officials were tight lipped about security details related to the drug strikes and also the ongoing evacuation efforts. specifically,

10:40 am
2461 american service members who were killed while filling orders and the longest for american history since that last race car bomb explosion at the abbey gate. we have begun to know the faces and the stories of the most recent 13. her stories are heroic and their last few days on earth. tragic one message. marina ryan, now from knoxville, tennessee, who said this home to his mother. all good here, mom. i love, you know, the mom who often gets quick, se for my own child thing, pretty much say i get flooded with emotion, thinking of what that mother is having to go through. knowing her worst nightmare is happening. then you have this instagram from sergeant nicole key, holding a sleeping african baby saying, i love my job. the sergeant gage last post just a week ago, escorting a, evacuated onto the bird with a heart emoji next to it. then there is this mother of us marine riley mccall who
10:41 am
died nichol bombings, who called into the wilco radio show, saying, instead of just grieving and crying, she was just getting mad. i woke up at 4 o'clock this morning to marine on my door, telling me my son was something know mother, once her father, her grandfather, anyone, family member who's person, who's family member serving a president biden in the 1st lady did greet at the fall and on sunday at dover air force base and later went on to meet with family members. but as reports are emerging of detailed notes from classified calls with top pentagon officials confirming their knowledge of an imminent threat at abbey gate. but they still still decide to keep it open. questions and calls for accountability are growing even louder, especially from republicans. but democrats as well are concerned right now about losing support from their own base over the recent handling of the troop, pull out,
10:42 am
and whether or not all should be out by the august 31st deadline. so to give us the $360.00 view we began to crash rogers, an army veteran ranger veteran robin bureau and ed martin, president of phyllis as a shapely eagles. i'm sorry guys, i'm a little choked up right now. i. every time i've seen this, it's been hard to watch. we're all parents. we know that that is the absolute nightmare we can live through. and rob, and i want to start off with you because i'm in the only reason why i think it's important that we talk about this because we need to avoid it in the future. 20 years, thousands of dying. we need to see these images over and over. remind is the next time that our elected officials, one has in our children into a wars and that we realize how much, what it actually means. so robin, i'm going to start with you. are you satisfied with how this operation has gone and i've janice and the last few weeks i'm not satisfied with how it's gone the last few weeks and i'm not satisfied and how it's gone to the last 20 years. frankly, there been for presidential restriction to in this i could give share criticism for
10:43 am
each and every one of them to include. i'm a democrat, i could give fair criticism on president obama could give fair criticism our president biden, this is not really political. this is about keeping our men and women in uniform safe, and they, we had people die. we have, we had a number of them die, and it's tragic. it's heartbreaking. i to gotten very choked up the stories that we just listen to. i was fighting back tears honestly, when we pledged the oath we all wouldn't. we all know very well that it could ultimately lead to our death and it's, it's sad that it did for these people. and it's important that we remember them, an honor their sacrifice and service to our country. and, you know, and i had to look at, you know, yes, and i think we should tell the stories of the last 13 as much as we could. but guess what? there's thousands that aren't getting the option that, you know, unfortunately people died in afghanistan for the last 20 years, whose names were maybe mentioned local paper and obviously local honors. but nowhere near to the extent, maybe if we put more of attention on them over the last 20 years,
10:44 am
it would not have lasted 20 years. but that being said, we're now finding out more and more because the pressure being put there, the possibly the pentagon knew this attack was going to take place on thursday, even a rough time. so why did we not do everything we could to remove or de escalate? the situation and take those young men and young women out of harm's way. well, look i, i agree with your instinct on this. i mean, you know, the reporting on. it sounds terrible. and as you say they had, i had an alert that it was actually going to be right at the abbe gate and they seem to have decided to keep it open. but i may make a couple of observations. one is, i don't think we'll ever have a war again where we don't have this kind of spotlight on the situation, you know, and i think it's worth saluting joe biden. and donald trump both for getting us out . most politicians actually don't do the hard thing. i think trump put biden in a position where he had to, but at least we're getting out. now having said that, i think what we've seen is joe biden, his administration has been so incompetent on this. and i have to say the question
10:45 am
i want answered. now is who's making the decisions because it doesn't seem like it's biden. i mean, i usually when you say that, you know, you say like who's making decisions and you're sort of trying to cause a political 5 doesn't seem like biden's in charge. doesn't seem like you're making smart decisions, i don't know who's doing it. we got to get to the bottom of it. and at this point, the incompetence is causing more damage, right? just to the world view of us america. but also to these individuals are still more americans there, there's still more military there. i just think at this point we've got to get a little more clarity on what's happening. here's one last observation. in any action you would expect when it goes wrong, accountability, other than one guy who spoke out the marine, who resigned or was fired or whatever we, she known accountability. no one's been told you mess this up, which again sends a message to the american people that were not dealing straight with you. because right now it feels like the 10 people killed by the drone. and 7 of the more children, it sounds like somebody messed up now in war there are mess ups,
10:46 am
but it feels like it's building one after another. and the american people are getting nervous about what's happening in this white house or an ad with orders like, i do want to remind you though, i live here in washington dc. i walk over often to the vietnam wall and i look at those names. so yes, guess what we do forget we do put ourselves back in those situations by parent generation did it guess what? my generation just it is. well, i am praying that maybe our children might be smarter, but the one way to do that it's actually expose. so robin, do you think democrats will join in republicans and look into whether or not this operation the actual withdrawal of truth in could have been handled differently and both and how we, who are dealing with, as well as how we were efficiently able to or more importantly, not able to get everyone out without violence. yes, scott, to answer your question. most definitely. yes, they will. we will, in a bipartisan manner. look into this also, of course, militarily, we always do an after action review. there will be many of those on this because we
10:47 am
need to look exactly and see exactly what worked and where things might wrong and things did absolutely go wrong and i appreciate your intellectual honesty specifically saying that look, there were things that president trump did right there. were things that president did right, and at least they're out. i'm grateful for that. i think americans, we all are. i also want to see this. i have 2 friends who've been wanting as veterans, as special operations veterans. they've been running these chartered flights, getting people evacuated. i am so grateful scott a to know that they are back safely now and these flights are done. these people are home safe. we need to see exactly what worked and what we need to do better because something definitely did not go to plan. and that doesn't mean that we need to do it again. it's just so that we can have knowledge just down the road so that we don't repeat it in other situations. gentlemen, thank you so much. try me, robin. like always thank you for your service. when we return an elena,

10:56 am
it, stealing someone else's kid with a question mark. and essentially he said he and his partner has been in the foster care program for a couple of years now. they intended to dock and then the child welfare agency in their particular community. he didn't identify the state of the city, but that it was an urban area, reached out to them and said, hey, would you like to adopt the 2 siblings that you've been fostering. so they started going through the process, and in doing so, they realized that the child had to are these children. i should, they had 2 parents that were both in jail behind bars for drug related reason that they did have biological family. that they felt where to position to take these kids, but that the state welfare agencies that they were not. but he said that's what concerns him is that the kid biological family had a home. they had basically raised to other kids before and there weren't any other issues and they seem to have a income. so their question was, why is the day try to give us these children when they have family that are actually related to them that could take care of them? they was riding in for advice. so i go through the process and, and by the way, the advice columnist said yes,
10:57 am
you should go through the process because at least you care enough to ask these questions and they're going to get adopted out regardless. but like you said, it's an interesting, it's an interesting question all the way around, what is happening to these kids of incarcerated? well, and there's lots of reason why kids are in the foster care system. but how common thing is this issue of children of incarcerated parents being taken away unfairly? we don't interesting. i started digging into that when, when you off the topic. it's fascinating. the marshal project actually did an investigative report on this a few years ago, and they examined some 3000000 cases and they found that children placed in foster care or their, when their parents are incarcerated. they're more likely to have their parental rights terminated than parents to physically or actually sexually assaulted their kid. so that was the result of analyzing some 3000000 cases, as i said. and these were parents that weren't even accused of child glass abuse, endangerment. some of them didn't even have drug or alcohol used female prisoners, of course, because they are mothers, 5 times more likely than their male counterparts of inmates to end up have their
10:58 am
kids end up in foster care to have their parental rights terminated again half the time they don't even have abuse charges to get them. that's just for the sole purpose that they were incarcerated. and then one, i wonder if they have the right to appeal that if they even know what's happening in the 1st place that their rights are being take away. you know, molly, i wonder why turn terminate parental rights if they aren't facing charges related anything that was specifically endanger a child, or if they weren't to a lifelong sentence, real quick of an answer for i want to get this in. yeah, absolutely. well, basically it has to do with how long they're in jail. and there's a lot of debate over this. you have some people that advocate for the kids getting into a stable home as quickly as possible, even if that means that their parent could get out, potentially provide a stable hope for them. but at that month, years down the road, they did not wait. and then you have those that they kids need to be reunited with their biological parents regardless, especially with making it effort. so it's a lot of work to be done in this area, a lot of people to disagree, but it seems like most people agree, it's better for a child to be with their parents, the state laws, even federal laws, sometimes put financial incentives on adoption. they keep parents separate from
10:59 am
their kids and who better than somebody who's incarcerated in the systems already stacked against them. and the end is what is best for the child sometime is not what is actually happening. molly, thank you so much for bringing us the story. that's all the time we have for today show, like always we want to provide you the information of the 360 you said you can make your own opinion, let top issues of the day reading your conversation, my follow me on twitter at scottie and hughes youth, team and vh. and thanks for watching catch you later. i driven by a dreamer shaped by those in
11:00 am
me dares things we dare to ask in the ah, but y'all was going to have a message to any possible invader. but anyone who looks to get this done with bad intention, they will face what the united states has face today. americans, hasty departure from afghanistan, leaves the country in the hands of the very taliban regime. the washington promise to overthrow.
