do we have any sense of what president biden will say? >> reporter: this will be the first time that we hear from president biden since the stun e stunning fall of kabul and amid these images of these hur riied evacuations from that city. people clinging to u.s. air force planes. what we can expect to hear is he will outline the rationale for ending this nearly two decades long conflict, withdrawing american troops from there before this fall of kabul that we saw here. you can expect him to go into his decision making here, expressing as officials have told us in recent days that the president is not experiencing any second thoughts, any regrets about his decision here. the real question is whether or not president biden will address the failure here. the failure to anticipate the speed of this taliban advance fp failure to anticipate how quickly these afghan government forces who have been backed with billions of dollars in funding and training and equipment over these last 20 years by the united states. how quickly they crumbled. that's

is biden lying to us about these things or are they telling biden and biden as forgetting something somehowle to address them to the american people? wherever the answer is, it not a good one and there's a good reason i think so many, pulling shows so many americans are deeply concerned about our situation right now. >> and the underlying question, you hit the nail on the head, what did the administration know, when did they know it and why was there such a disconnect? the pentagon press secretary john colby set two days before kabul fell the city was not in any imminent threat and that was a true statement backbend based on what they knew then but benjamin hall was in kabul and afghanistan in november on the ground on camera telling us how close kabul was to falling from at the taliban was essentially taking over the roads in that part of the region at night, targeting opposition, killing people that might so did our intelligence just fail us or did something go awry here? >> we have to wonder if this is being seen through a prism because reports on the ground were saying that this was abo

it wasn't president biden.ut my point that they would like for you to bring -- give, i notice that c-span always broadcasting republican events. but you had a major marge on washington yesterday about voting rights and it was not aired on c-span. host: that's not true, milton. you weren't watching we aired it. we were there. caller: i didn't see it up there. host: well, we were there. cue the picture on "the washington post." protect your power. and marge on washington for voting rights yesterday. we covered it. go to our website. c-span.org. milton mentions the taliban. this is what president biden had to say a week ago on his view of that group. >> do you trust them now? president biden: i don't trust anybody including you, i love you. but there's not a lot of people i trust. look, the taliban has a -- the taliban has to make a fundamental decision. is the taliban going to attempt to be able to unite and provide for the well-being of the people of afghanistan, which no one group has ever done since before for

dan: this is a biden created disaster.had a perfectly functioning fairfield, what kind of idiot sleeves that behind in a landlocked country? just a military guy, smart man. there are no ports in afghanistan. even worse, it's surrounded by hostile countries. it's a small border with china surrounded by pakistan which has shielded the taliban for years and you can't swim out of afghanistan. hundred and 80 forfeits an airfield to try to secure one in a 4 million populated city surrounded by friends and folk? who does that? >> and 80 wrong about everything who's obsessed with whatever dedication he has to ending it and we all want to end it but just like a seven-game series, seven-game series you can play all seven games and sometimes all the last shot in the last 30 seconds. as all history will often remember. how we executed bungled this and created -- we've created a legitimized terran state. we have a legitimized taliban making them effectively the guards of our voice the same let the isis bomber through. now we've got ano

take a look. >> this moment is what for joe biden, president biden? >> in many ways, i think of john kennedy in the bay of pigs. it has unfolded quickly and the president thought everything would be fine and that was not the case, but president kennedy took responsibility for what took place and i strongly recommend the president biden that he take responsibility, admit the mistakes that were made. >> sean: joining us now with reaction of my a lot of time on the ground by the way in vietnam and afghanistan. i can only imagine what military families are feeling tonight, those that served multiple tours, those that lost loved ones, those that came home with extensive permanent injuries, your take on all of this? >> this is biden's biggest blunder, his saigon moment. more than 780,000 u.s. troops have been deployed to afghanistan. more than 2300 died, nearly 20,600 were wounded and we are still counting. there's more than 50,000 afghan military and security personnel who have been killed since october. this war is cost the united states more than $1 tril

i would argue and the bidens copper mines based on the money that hunter biden god and his admission that they have compromising materials as adam schiff said. we see these cyberattacks against this country. joe biden then grants vladimir putin a waiver to do a multibillion-dollar deal with our western european allies while simultaneously canceling our own keystone xl pipeline and eliminating high career paying jobs and offers him a summit and i'm trying to understand why we would reward that behavior. can you explain it? >> this is bad national security policy and bad economic policy. i'm heading this weekend to kansas to speak to the kansas independent oil and gas association. president biden is making it impossible for them to keep their employees, and he's demanding tyrants like the iranians and russians to produce oil so that we can buy it from them. this makes absolutely no sense. it's bad for american workers, bad for the american economy, terrible from a national security perspective as we've delivered american independence, we were shipping these products around the world bu

>> where is president biden?he not communicating and he said, i will own any mistakes, this is a mistake of epic proportion and our enemies are watching, the real impact here. russia and china are watching. >> harris: emily. >> emily: and the ambassador said, it is ineftablt, it was avoidable and our president came out saying this was potential, it seems as if the entire world realized ineftablt except our commander-in-chief. the 25th amendment possibility is unrealistic, but situation of absence of demonstration of leadership, coupleed with catastrophic effects of decision-making, absolutely we should be asking questions and questioning the commander-in-chief? >> harris: why does he get a pass yesterday? >> kayleigh: empower schumer and nancy pelosi doing nothing. ryan crawford, david petraeus, david axelrod, what do they have before their name? former? nancy pelosi is praising biden, i commend him for his action, i praise the wisdom of biden's actions. no, that is shameful, cowardess and rick scott is right, 25

and let's see if she thinks biden has done such a great job?re are all these women's rights groups, where are they today? have you heard anything from chuck schumer? i haven't heard a thing from him. the vast majority of the democrats are either parent praising biden or not saying anything. it's really quite outrageous. and i have another question, who's running running the government? joe biden said to camp david most of the time, doesn't take a single question or make himself available today. it was another huge embarrassment while he's trusting republicans, what doesn't he treat the taliban the way he is treating republicans? and we haven't seen a vice president of the united states for a week. who's running the government? nobody. as hard as general austin and general milley yard are concerned, and if you think what is going on is so horrible, and you've got to roll in it, for all history. for all military history. austin and millie are going to go down in history as disasters. what happened to those national security advisors in both parti

do you think joe biden is down? to see diminished or stubborn?t is going on with the commander-in-chief? >> all of the above. first talk about the marines and the families going through terrible grief right now. that is a tough job when you have to be that kcal - - see acl and then you have to tell the families. we are not compromising the people on the ground here is a very brief summary of what is happening on the ground 13 flag draped coffins arrived at dover air force base this morning telling the president has a card in his pocket to remind him somebody should have met the aircraft even though the formal presentation for the families is set for tomorrow. a group of brave and exhausted americans have been trying to get hundreds of pre- manifested then and women and children including american citizens to get them out through aggie at the kubul airport with political military establishment in the pentagon could not get them out it took the president of the united states to authorize a gate to be opened and because of our in action giving up au

it is not just biden but entire washington swamp establishment.alked about it many times, rarely been more true than tonight, i fear it will get worse. >> this is heartbreaking, atlantic's headline biden's betrayal of the afghans will live in infamy. this is more than just a disagreement with all roads and which roads you take to rome. not even about conservative or liberal this is about decision making that was about revenge, hatred, obsession of donald trump, because he committed the crime of showing the american people, that you could do things differently, there was a way to make this country elevated and make her better for everyone, economically and otherwise. and now you have got whether it is the chaos, elimination of our border, and a nonsensical economic plan. a congress that is aiding and enabling this is trillions in spending, without thinking that what shap -- what is happening in afghanistan might change your needs for the budget. my god, it is a betrayal. it is a betrayal first of us, then the rest of the world that relies on us. uk

accordingly, because joe biden's decision to defy u.s. law, to defy the overwhelming bipartisan consensus of congress, to surrender to vladimir putin, to give him his number one priority, a multibillion-dollar pipeline that will provide billions of dollars of rewards for russia for decades to come, because that decision is a generation algae owe political mistake, on the order of magnitude of jimmy carter's giving away the panama canal, that even 50 years later the consequences of that geopolitical mistake still reverberates, 50 years from now, russian dictators will benefit from joe biden's weakness on russia. because that strengthens russia, because it empowers russia to attack our enemies to, to extort our enemies, to engage in blackmail against our allies, because our allies are begging us not to do this -- i met with senior officials of the ukraine. the ukraine is begging us not to do this and the biden white house is threatening ukraine keep your mouth shut because we have a political objective here, because that strengthens russia

and biden's response? >> well joe biden's response to this is very weak. because he is weak.much, you hear other leaders, china knows he is weak. look at how they have talked to our representatives and how they have acted, how they are supporting the taliban. you know that russia thinks he is weak, they can't believe he approved the nord stream 2 but he shut down the keystone pipeline at the same time, he had no plan, he tossed away the plan that president trump and secretary pompeo and our allies and partners put together. it didn't have to be this way, but when you have a weak leader who is not taking ownership and not give the guarantee he will get everyone out, and he wants to date certain on the calendar. the general said this is probably 6,000 additional troops. and probably several more months, we have to make certain every american, every ally, every afghan partner. the vulnerable women who will be killed. if they say we have to get them out. steve: quickly, what about the political accountability. >> well, with the political accountability. we have to look near-term

that joe biden gave them. any path that we can create to get home an american trapped inside afghanistan i am for. i'm not for leaving americans behind. nor are you. >> no, i'm not for leaving americans behind or our allies behind. i'm not for a terrorist group running afghanistan. i'm not for the soul mate of afghanistan being in charge of kabul. if you think we can let the taliban run afghanistan, you're a fool. if you think most afghanistans are okay with the taliban being in charge, you don't know a damn thing about afghanistan. we have a lot to work with. in the pan share valley. the cia can help. we can get military assistance to these people to let them fight. we should declare the taliban a under u.s. law, a foreign terrorist organization. we should recognize the panzir valley as the capitol of afghanistan and empower or allies on the ground. we should take bagram fair force base and connected to it the panzir valley and let it be an evacuation route for those left behind and we should bleed the taliba

the only thing biden seems to care about is joe biden and those close to joe biden making money. now come august 31st, that is seven days from now, i fear those left behind will face certain death. here with reaction, two individuals from afghanistan now in the united states, worked with the u.s. for two years as a translator and his wife is currently trapped in kabul. we are disguising his name and identity for her safety. will you tell us your story? >> yeah, actually, my wife, she just made her way to the airport last wednesday. she couldn't make it inside there because the taliban don't let them get to the airport, they don't even let u.s. citizens enter the airport, but she made it to the airport and she was -- there and after three days she couldn't manage to get on board to the plane, so she had to come back home, but i am still worrying about her, that after the 31st of august -- >> sean: i didn't hear you correctly, let me ask you, did she leave the airport? did i hear you correctly? >> yeah, she had to return home, back, because she couldn't make it to the airplane. >>

but biden said the taliban take over, well, was not inevitable. joe was just telling us that a couple weeks ago. he was reassuring the american people that the afghan army, one of the most capable, well-trained armies in the world, and that they even had an air force, and that only 75,000 taliban, and then the taliban makes their march and every step of the way, joe apparently didn't notice. he said there would be no chaotic scenes at the u.s. embassy in kabul, with helicopters seem similar to the fall of saigon in '75. yes, we have those themes, then he pulled american soldiers out in the middle of the night. he abandoned the ground air base, dismantled trump's contingency, crisis response bureau, that was back in june, he dismantled that. that was set up by president trump and secretary of state pompeo to provide aviation, logistics, medical support to americans if they get trapped abroad. why would a view of gotten rid of that program? and joe stood by and did nothing as the taliban made all of these rapid advances, all over the country in the

joe biden s-ueakin micro in harms way. joe biden speaking at — micro in harms way.n harms way. joe biden speaking at the white - micro in harms way. joe biden speaking at the white house | micro in harms way. joe biden - speaking at the white house after some extraordinary events that we witnessed in kabul over the last few days. let's bring in general mark kimmitt — who served under president george w bush as assistant secretary of state for political military affairs. the president was focused on the decision to leave afghanistan. there's a difference between the decision and the execution of that decision. a lot of the criticism has been the decision to move back 7000 us troops, to evacuate people who were still stranded.— were still stranded. well, you actually took _ were still stranded. well, you actually took my _ were still stranded. well, you actually took my nature - were still stranded. well, you - actually took my nature impression away~ _ actually took my nature impression away~ this — actually took my nature impression away. this was a classic red herr

was from bush to biden and biden inherited what trump negotiated.f you would stop the blame game and start looking at where the failure was -- the people of afghanistan do not want to fight. if you want freedom, you have to fight, but they did not want to fight because we were not paying them anymore. we have to stop these politicians complaining about whose fault it is. it is everybody's fault, from the generals to the president to congress and the senate. let's stop complaining about biden. maybe he did mishandle them leaving, but blaming somebody -- that is ridiculous. host: you said we need to look at where the failures are politicians saying this week they intend to do that. this from the usa today story -- the senate intelligence committee is coming through all intelligence gathered in and about afghanistan according to one senate staffer, working with democrats and republicans on foreign relations and armed services committees coordinating a series of planned investigative hearings into actions taken by the white house according to that staff

russia, hunter biden got a lot of money. china, they did not do a deal with goldman sachs or deutsche bank, they did a deal with hunter biden $1,000,000,000.05 with the bank of china, and to joe biden has said nothing to threats against the military or reunification threats with taiwan, or he must get permission to land an airplane in taiwan, which i never thought would happen or the question of human rights, if the last name was trump and your sons were making money in russia, china, kazakhstan, ukraine, if they saw that and through that gun in a garbage basket or wastebasket, if your sons were on video with smoking crack with, with the question not logically become, do you believe that these countries have compromising materials, as you can remember adam schiff ony did not have it and he was being scammed, do you see any potential of compromise here? because it does not make sense to me to give putin a waiver? >> so the story, the new tape that came out two days ago has not been on any mainstream media at all. it was on yo

biden and members of congress. more on that we welcome correspondent to garrett tenney with the story. hi, garrett. >> tonight's drone strike is significant. u.s. officials are expecting another terror attack at kabul airport at some point in the next few days. the pentagon describes the threats as specific and credible. the white house is warning that the next few days of the mission will be the most dangerous period of time for our troops in kabul. despite those threats, afghanistan wasn't the first or second item jen psaki addressed at today's white house briefing which was led by the covid-19 pandemic and children's mental health of the ongoing threat did come up during the q&a. >> they are taking maximum force protection measures that the kabul airport and surrounding areas. our troops are still in danger. that continues to be the case that they are there. this is the most dangerous part of the mission. stick with the white house is facing sharp carry -- sharp criticism. democratic congressman seth moulton who

biden turned it upside down. anything trump had planned and done, biden turned it upside down.ost: how so, specifically? caller: yes specifically. host: how so did he turn it upside down in your mind? caller: the troops were pulled out first. the troops kept everything in place and you pull them out and leave everybody else defenseless. definitely the people were going to be pulled out. kept everythin place and you pull them out and leave everybody else defenseless. definitely the people were going to be pulled out. the civilians, the americans that were there, and the afghan interpreters, all the ones that were going to be pulled out -- we would not have had this type of evacuation where people cannot get to the airport because the taliban is in control of all the exits. host: michael is in dixon, tennessee, democrat line. caller: good morning to you. i want to speak to a bigger issue. he inherited a soup sandwich from many administrations. i study history. i understand what is going on here. >> -- host: michael is in dixon, tennessee, democrat line. caller: good morning to yo

i have known president biden as a vice president biden and senator biden peered this is a good man. a person who really does understand the world. he's got one of the best and most experienced administrations as seen in a long time coming into office. i say that's all disagreeing with this and hoping that this incredibly high integrity purposeful president will take a lesson from this, understanding that like john f kennedy, the bay of pigs disaster was early in his presidency. you don't remember him for the bay of pigs disaster. he can get past this but he has to double down on allies and counterterrorism and on containing the taliban, and then he can focus on his structure plans, economic rebuilding, obviously taking on covid-19 is the highest priority. he has a lot in front of him, but if he takes charge of this situation and finds a better way out of it, you could still have a presidency, and that is what you brought up in my column. he can still have that. if they don't do that, then this will be what the administration is remembered for. host: miles in new jersey, democratic c

and biden looking at his watch, now that's the real joe biden. not the phony empathizer the media tried to pretend that he was. the real joe biden who only looks out for himself and the real joe biden who can't even be bothered to take responsibility for his failures. we have a president who is deteriorating cognitively, disconnected from reality and it's getting worse by the hour. i will ask again where is the accountability? this is a complete and utter failure. what exactly will it take? we have to ask for the biden administration to finally admit it. isn't it unconscionable that we live in a world where we all walk on egg shells we fear something we said or tweeted years ago will destroy our professional careers. the pentagon and the president can make such poor decisions that lead to death and destruction but nothing changes. no one is fired. and no one takes responsibility. here we are tonight with still more questions than answers. it was biden that broke his promise that we wouldn't leave until every american was out. and even today the s

he doesn't resign, joe biden should be impeached.et what many of you are saying, kamala harris spent, ladies and gentlemen, it can't get any worse right now. the decisions this man is making when he's conscious or catastrophic and costing people lives and relationships and reputation of the united states. the damage right now is incalculable. i have another message. during the trump years we had all the time in the intelligence community, donald trump wakes up and drink diet coke in the morning, whatever it was. we need more. we need people to start telling the truth. when did the president know, did he do it anyway? there's only two possible scenarios right now, but the president was want that or he wasn't. it's simple, isn't it? 's simple equation. now some people are starting to speak out and i'm glad you're doing it. we need more. you may have seen this explosive article in the "wall street journal" later in the week, the state department warned almost collapsed. what did joe biden do? did he ignore it, did he care? did he read i

joe biden wasn't vetted. no one voted for joe biden. it was a vote against donald trump. an empty suit. and incapable of handing a cry us you yourself create. but it's more dangerous than carnival music would imply. we have planes flying over kabul. we have americans stranded. you have beheading. but the biden administration didn't imagine any of that. this is what you get when you vote against someone instead of for someone. jesse: probably the craziest teacher we have ever seen on fox news. she is a chemistry teacher at the alpine school district. she is blasting students and their parents. >> we'll just getting variants over and over until people get vaccinated. i hate donald trump. i am going to say it. i don't care what y'all think. turn off the fox news. this is my classroom. if you are going to put me at risk you are going to hear about it. because i have to be here. most of y'all parents are dumber than you. i'm going to say it out loud. my parents are freaking dumb. okay? i could go off on your parents if you want me to. but i'm not going to. if you don't believe

biden did it in reverse. >> it seems like when biden talks about this, he at least believes he's beingl. he has wanted the troops out, h was focused on the troop level because that was going to be th political wind. if you got them down to a few hundred, right? he was going to take them down originally, the date was 9/11 which was just appalling, then they moved it up to late august but he was most focused, so you take the troops out, i talk to somebody about this today, common sense says you get the civilians out including the afghan allies, then the diplomats in the last people to leave are your military. are the people on the ground. in terms of intelligence, couldn't joe biden use like a laptop like hunter to pop up no or cracked i guess that won't disappear out of nowhere. >> geraldo, they are saying they're going to have hearings in september and they're going to have people testifying from the intelligence community what did you know it, when did you know it, what did you tell the president. there going to subpoena documents, how will that shakeout? >> dana knows government much

take a look at president biden back a few days ago. >> president biden: after years and years of infrastructurestructure decade that i truly believe will transform america. >> chris: but julie, now there's a sharp split among house democrats, the bill has passed the senate, a sharp split among house democrats come of the moderates saying look, this past -- this past the senate, it's a trillion dollars, bipartisan, let's get it to the president's desk, and then on the other hand, the left wing of the party in the house saying no, no, we are not going to vote on this, we are going to wait until we also get this $3 trillion plus spending bill, and that could take months. where does that all stand now? >> this was a very brief moment of celebration for the white house because this problem lingers now in the house, where, you know, nancy pelosi can't really pick which side of her party she is going to try to appease here because she needs both. the democrats margin in the house is so narrow that she needs to hold the entire party together in order to get both of these pieces of legislation through a

i want to redo what president biden said in his statement.hen i became president i faced a choice follow through on the deal to ramp up our presence and send more american troops to fight once again in another countries civil conflict, mr. secretary what do you think of president biden's attempt to blame and pin all the blame on what's transpired in last few weeks on the deal that he says he quote inherited from president trump and from you. >> of the risks weren't so serious it would be pathetic, i would not let my 10-year-old son get away from this pathetic claim shifting, he should be less focused on trying to blame this on someone else then dissolving the problem making sure that we protect and defend american security, it's worth noting this did not happen on our watch we reduced our forces and they did extend all the cost afghanistan is a plain old fact that this is happening in the biden administration leadership almost a quarter of our way into his first term. this is not the way leaders lead by fighting backwards, we had a bad deal w

t no, says joe biden.le, desperate people tumble from airplanes thousands of feet in the air. many thousands of americans remained trapped tonight in a country now controlled by the taliban. but no problem, says the president. how do you assess a statement like that? well, our friend piers morgan described it as "breathtakingly arrogant and disturbingly delusional," and that sounds about right, if possibly a little understated.th watching it, you wonder, does joe biden understandnd with this moment means to the country he leads? we had to leave afghanistan, he was right about that. it was always going to be ugly, that is true. but this ugly? this humiliating? this destructive to america's authority in the world, as damaging to our future? no. none of that was foregone. none of that was necessary. all of that was a choice that joe biden and his advisors made intentionally, over months. they priced it in, as he just told us. they knew it was going to happen, but they did it anyway. what does that say about t

what does this gain biden to be enemies with nato?> all i can say it would be a terrible decision for the biden administration to recognize the taliban as a legitimate government. this was a coup d'État by the taliban they took over a constitutional elected government by military force. we should recognize the resistance of the constitutional leaders of casting on —- afghanistan if you start to bargain with the taliban to get her people out then isis syria and iraq and people in africa the last thing you want to do is to start legitimizing a terrorist organization like the taliban to allow them to use military force so the taliban is slow walking and holding people back these people will be hostages and if the biden administration negotiates with the taliban to get americans and allies out you send a template for others to follow it is a disaster. judge: holding them hostage, there is talk of money and other countries paying money and all the rumors. a terrible precedent for this great nation. senator graham thank you for being with u

in russia, hunter biden got a lot of money. in china they didn't do a deal with goldman sachs, or deutsche bank, they did a deal with hunter biden, a billion five with the bank of china. again, joe biden has said nothing to threats against our military or reunification threats against taiwan, or you must get permission to -- and my question is if your last name was trump and you were making money in china, kazakhstan and the ukraine, if you're son lied on the gun application and through that in a garbage basket skor wastebasket, if your sons were on video smoking crack and with, but the question not logically become, do you think these countries have compromising materials potentially? remember adam schiff, o compromising materials, on trump, whenas he didn't have and he was being scammed. if you see a potential for compromise here? because it doesn't sense to give kootenay waiver. >> so the story and the new tape that just came out a few days ago has not been on the mainstream media at all. it was a new show and a couple of sh

elizabeth: looks like president biden capitulates, gives in to david: it looks like president biden giveso taliban demand and will not commit to the dying his august 31 deadline for the u.s. withdraw from afghanistan overriding the g7, the situation is deteriorating rapidly u.s. military already started withdrawing troops, the biden oh administration says it's not sure how many americans remain trapped behind taliban lines, lawmakers say this is worse than saigon biden and his team's message to americans in afghanistan, you're on your own. national security effort kt mcfarland, the navy seal who killed 9/11 mastermind osama bin laden rob o'neill, former ambassador nascent underneath and sales, arizona attorney general mark brnovich,k economic expert mitch roschelle, gop strategist ford o'connell, one week ago for americans and allies to get out those who give safe havens 9/11 terrorist seizing passports, they get to decide which americans can leave, the white house getting condemned around the world to topspin a crisis when people are in harm's way claiming americans are not stranded when

i sat in his office, and he went through the joe biden, this is the world according to joe biden. >>'t that the problem, helene? >> that's exactly the problem. he came in and he was not going to listen. he believed the pentagon had rolled a successive number of administrations for 20 years and he was going to stand up to them. >> but then how are they unprepared for when april rolled around? when he announces the withdraw, it seems like there was no actual plan for what he had been planning for the whole time. how do they not have -- >> because they thought they could talk him out of it. you had joe dunford with the congressional panel in february saying you should not take out the 3,500. all of the military advice was that. and they thought -- lloyd austin did try to fight back. you know that. the fact is, he still is the joe biden of 2009 who is the only one in the national security team who didn't want the surge and bob gates criticized him in his book about it. he now says i knew better. >> david axelrod nailed this in friday's "new york times" when he said this, the way it's end

biden: by you guys or by me? reporter: by anyone. pres. biden: [laughs] i'm sorry. i shouldn't kid, because i was just reading about 50 statements from very serious press people about how my whole plan was dead from the beginning. look, the lesson learned is being willing to talk and listen, listen. and i think the lesson learned is exposing people to other views. and so that's why from the beginning on all the subject you raised, i've sat with people and listened to their positions, some in agreement where i am and some in disagreement. and so i think it's a matter of listening, it's part of democracy. thank you. [reporters asking questions] reporter: why have you not named an fda commissioner, sir? reporter: andrew cuomo to resign immediately? he's leaving in 14 days. pres. biden: i'm not going to comment any more on andrew cuomo. reporter: why have you not named an fda commissioner sir? , pres. biden: say again? reporter: you haven't named fda commissioner yet. i was wondering why you found or named a permanent fda commissioner yet? pres. biden: we're working on

what willjoe biden say?r trump had made a peace deal with that data bank which involved and exit gates for us troops by may. and had also in the interim allow the taliban to build up interim allow the taliban to build up a fair bit of strength. the argument goes that if the us troops had not decided to depart and joe biden had decided to let them stay and the taliban would have said all bets are off and it would've gone attacking the troops and there aren't enough troops of the country to delete that and there had to be another surge so it was two options and we had to go through it with it. that being debated in washington right if that's actually the case. marcel is the planning for the departure and people here near the administration knew the army was weak and the administration was weak but nobody was expecting it to collapse so quickly. so the argument has been read have contingency plans in place but nobody was expecting that data bank to be advocates so quickly and they turned it into an argument to

joe biden seems to care less. take a look. >> when you see what happened over the last week was it a failure of planning, execution, or judgment? >> look, it was a simple choice, george. >> we've all seen the pictures, hundreds of people packed into a c-16. we've seen afghans -- >> that was four days ago, five days ago. >> what did you think when you first saw those pictures? >> i thought, we have to gain control of this. we have to move this more quickly. we have to move in a way in which we can take control of that airport. and we did. >> you don't think this could have been handled better in any way, no mistakes? >> no, i don't think it could have been handled in a way -- we're going to go back in hindsight and look but the idea that somehow there is a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, i don't know how that happens. i don't know how that happens. >> so for you that was always part of it? >> yes. >> sean: joe, let me ask you, when you saw the taliban was on the march and took over 10% of the country
