in americans' lives. it is so pervasive that we call it the white noise of american lives. most american people aren't even conscious that everywhere you look in american life, you will find imagery of american indians. and we are arguing that this imagery exists as evidence of the deeply entangled history that americans and american indians share. in exploring the history that lies behind this imagery, we explore three events in u.s. history. the story of pocahontas, the trail of tears and the battle of the little big horn. today we're going to explore the battle of the little big horn. the 1876 battle of the little big horn was fought between the u.s. cavalry and an alliance of the lakota and the cheyenne and the arapahoe. this was a devastating defeat for the u.s. army. it resulted in the death of general george armstrong custer, who was a civil war hero and in the death of almost 300 u.s. cavalry men. this was the most shocking event in u.s. history of the late 19th century. but within a very short pe

to put americans in such a position of weakness, to put americans in such a vulnerable position so it's anvu unforgivable dereliction of duty. they won't even commit to keeping american forces on the ground past the original in august 31 deadline. the taliban are clear. they are not willing to go beyond that deadline, they want the u.s. gone and apparently they are calling all the shots. they don't know how many americans are behind enemy lines. they don't even know how many americans have already been evacuated and what will happen to all of the afghans, the allies that helped us over the last 20 years. apparently the taliban has a list of names of all of them. will biden let them be slaughtered? the only thing we do know right now is that thousands of innocent souls, our fellow americans have been left stranded, trapped, held hostage behind enemy lines unable to even get inside the airport in kabul with mixed messaging make your way to the airport but can't guarantee your safety on saturday told don't make your way to the airport, it's not safe today. but according to jen psaki's alte

american well-being. you see the emergence of language that echos the yellow peril language we saw earlier in american history. opponents portrayed southeast asian people as a germ-ridden people who threatened public health. there's no telling what kind of diseases they will bring with them. when asked to identify what diseases exactly they might be bringing, he couldn't quite name them. he said, i don't know. but there's bound to be some kind of tropical germs floating around. hostility to southeast asian refugees boiled down to simple racism sometimes. at a high school, for example, near niceville, students discussed plans to establish a gook klux klan. this is in many ways resident with what we are hearing today of a variety of reasons why people are concerned about admitting refugees. the funny about refugees, about southeast asian refugees, is that given all of the hostility, it actually happened. southeast asian refugees were as the historian put it, given the intensity of this public opposition, it

she wrote in her column about the italian americans, the german americans, the japanese americans. these are our american citizens, these are our friends and neighbors. let's not forget that. maybe she had some influence. but not entirely enough. and people wonder why the german americans and italian americans didn't go into camps in larger numbers. thousands of them did. you wrote a picture and did the research and know about that, how those people were treated of they had the advantage that they looked more like what an american was supposed to look like, and the japanese-americans stood out. and there was this real concern about the invasion of the west coast. there were japanese submarines sighted out in the pacific ocean and there were some incidents. but nothing -- nothing to implicate japanese-americans themselves. so we have really got to stay on top of this. >> people like my dad were an immigrant from japan. but he wanted to do something to help in the war effort. so he applied to the university of chicago that was running a ram for the army called the astp, army speciali

i did not think the american government would plan to leave thousands of americans behind. this is not a partisan issue, this is not a republican, democrat, green party. tomorrow is another opportunity. this is your moment, this is your time to put america before politics. it is simple. what is the administration's plan now that they left american citizens behind to get them home? given the grieving, the reports are the tobin now have more blackhawk helicopters in australia. -- then australia. do not recognize the taliban. isis-k, al qaeda, the taliban are all -- no cash delivered to the taliban. that is what america expects of elected officials. i think that is what america expects from this administration. this is going to come to the floor tomorrow. the question will be to those democratic members, are they going to stand behind the decision to leave americans behind, because we will not. we will not leave them behind. we need a plan to get them out, and we need to have that in place tomorrow. let's open up for questions. >> eventually come up possibly bring impeachment

169 americans. so it is a process to try to figure out how we deal with the mad rush of non-americans, those who did not help, those who are not on the priority list, just any afghan, any afghan to be able to get out of the country. so my guess is that, no matter what, under what circumstance, there is not a whole lot of afghani's -- there is a whole lot of afghanis who would just assume come to america, whether there was any involvement with the united states in the past at all, rather than stay under taliban rule, any rule. what i was saying is we have an agreement that they will let pass through the checkpoints that they, the taliban control, let americans through. >> given the negotiations with the taliban, the scenes we are seeing, can you fully explain why the plan was not to go ahead with these evacuations of both americans and allies before bagram was closed, the past several months? there seems to be a broad consensus that the taliban when make these gains and this would be needed at some p

is it americans?y dynamic and you know, with trans com and the commanders and those manifests are done, they make those decisions, you know, on the spot. so the idea that only siv's have fully processed are going to be coming into the u.s. for now or will there be a situation where any of the afghans, evacuated with be brought onto bases and then worked through the system once they're here? >> so it's very important what we'll continue to do the full screening and vetting process that takes place from the beginning all the way to making a final decision of where somebody goes. i know we will continue that and then going back to right now, the guidance is and will continue, to continue to increase our outflows to make that happen. >>, is the american flag flying at the airport in kabul right now? >> yes. >> there's some talk from veterans and people that served in afghanistan that the u.s. embassy which cost over nearly $800 million to build, why was that closed and the flag taken to the airport? shoul

american terms. in order to insure a good trade, in order to insure peace, they had to get together and conduct diplomacy with native american peoples. and the protocols and customs and language and metaphors that govern that diplomacy were not european in origin. they were native american in origin. this is a testimony to the amount of power that native american people had, that europeans had to learn to conduct business on their turf, right, to do it by their method. so, franklin, when he ultimately publishes the treaty of lancaster does send something like 200 copies off to his agent in london because he thinks they might sell there. he thinks people in london might be interested in learn being this, learn being native american people through this context of diplomacy. okay. historians, when they talk about diplomacy between native americans and europeans in the colonial era often use a metaphor that i like that i will share with you today, which is the middle ground, thattese diplomatic negotiati

check back >>> good evening my fellow americans. ten days ago in my report to the nation on vietnam i announced the decision to withdraw an additional 150,000 americans from vietnam over the next year. i said then that i was making that decision despite our concern over increased enemy activity in laos, in cambodia and in south vietnam. and at that time i warned that, if i included that increased enemy activity in any of these areas endangered the lives of americans remaining in vietnam, i would not hesitate to take strong and effective measures to deal with that situation. despite that warning, north vietnam has increased its military aggression in all these areas and particularly in cambodia. after full consultation with the national security council, ambassador bunker, general abrams and my other advisers, i have concluded that the actions of the enemy in the last ten days clearly endanger the lives of americans who are in vietnam now and would constitute an unacceptable risk to those who will be there after withdrawal of another

>> american citizens. i think as the general briefed, just in the last 24 hours of the 2000 that got out, it was a mix of american citizens and family members as well as seshl immigrant visa applicants and other at-risk afghans and you will see that every day, gordon. we want to take care of our fellow americans and secretary and chairman were clear about that but we also want to take care of at-risk afghans and special visa am ka*nts. -- applicants. we are processing people as fast as we can and getting them onto their on ward stations. it is a balance and we're trying to strike that balance every single day. >> what proportion of the 2,000 are american citizens versus sivs, what proportion are women? as well? >> i don't have a gender breakdown. of the 2,000 over the last 24 hours i think nearly 300 of them were americans and that includes legal permanent residents, it includes american citizens as well as family members. that's going to -- every day it will change. i don't have a gender breakdown what th

it is not what the american people want. it is not what our troops, who have sacrificed so much in the past two decades, deserve. i made a commitment to the american people when i ran for president, that i would bring america's involvement in afghanistan to an end. it has been hard and messy and far from perfect, but i have honored that commitment. more importantly, i made a commitment to the brave men and women who serve this nation that i wasn't going to ask them to continue to risk their lives in a military action that should have ended long ago. our leaders did that in vietnam when i got here as a young man. i will not do it in afghanistan. i know my decision will be criticized, but i would rather take all of that criticism then pass this decision onto another president of the united states, a fifth one, because it is the right one, it is the right decision for our people. the right one for our brave servicemembers who risk their lives serving our nation. it is the right one for america. thank you, may god protect our tr

whether americans would stay beyond deadline, american troops. president biden is holding firm, he said, to his timeline to get u.s. personnel out of afghanistan by august 31st. saying we are on pace to meet the deadline but he wants contingency plans if they can't make it. intel officials have testified on capitol hill, we're told by multiple sources, on both sides of the aisle, that the administration can't get all the americans and afghan allies out on time. the president said more time on the ground means more time our troops could face attacks. >> every day we're on the ground is another day we know isis k is seeking to target the airport and attack both u.s. and allied forces and innocent civilians. >> bret: a version isis not the taliban or al-qaeda. but the president says that timetable of august 31st is contingent on taliban cooperation. and fox news is receiving multiple new reports the taliban is harassing individuals, even passport holding americans on the way to the kabul airport. u.s. troops and civilians are continuing evacuating t

on january 20th of this year, kabul was free, the american embassy, afghanistan was free, the american embassy in kabul was working fine. and then what happened after that? 2500 american troops and 5,000 nato troops where they are keeping the peace. and then chaos ensued. >> sean: let me go to you, ari fleischer. you are a communications pro of all pros. so, the president has remained quiet as the world watched, you ea know, all weekend long, that this was imminent, that kabul was taken over, and joe biden stayed on vacation. he flew in, he gave a ten minutw speech that somebody else had obviously written, he took no questions, he went back on vacation again. then he does what i consider to be disastrous interview with george stephanopoulos. and saying "oh, no, no, we did everything right." you know, "there's nothing iop think we could have improved on. the chaos was priced into the fact of any withdrawal, and i inherited this." "well, no one is being killed right now." you know, no one warned him against withdrawing, now we have all of this evidence to the contrary. now he is going on

americans behind. that's the american way. we don't leave men and women behind. it's not something we've done in this country. it's a new era of american foreign policy. let me underscore a little bit of what sean was saying. biden era dealmaking looks more like capitulation. what i mean is a focus on exactly what sean just mentioned, the notion that we handed security to the taliban is very revealing. "washington post" based on a dozen interviews with afghan and american officials. also one taliban commander on the ground, very long report but in there was this. we had a discussion, general mckenzie, united states military with the head of the taliban. we have a problem. we have two options to deal with. either you, the u.s. military take responsibly for securing kabul or you have to let us do it. the deal was reached that the u.s. would be in the airport until august 31st. as sean said, the taliban would take over the rest of kabul. what a disastrous decision. i spoke with general kellogg, lieutenant

closing bagram, major air flow hub for american forces and american equipment in and out of the countryng out the military before the civilians got out and not working with friends and partners to make sure this was coordinated and most importantly not validating that the conditions on the ground were sufficient to actually execute this stage of the withdrawal. those are demonstrably geopolitical errors. they have not move today fix them. it's not only important for americans and civilians and vladimir putin and chairman kim stare and this presents enormous risk to the american people here at home. maria: exactly. and the mixed messages have been incredibly dangerous. last week president biden told the americans in afghanistan to get to the airport so that the u.s. can get them home and then this weekend we were told don't go to the airport. it's too dangerous. they are terrorists right outside the airport. the gates are locked. they are confiscating passports. what's going on? should americans go to the airport or not go to the airport? >> i must say, i don't have accurate situation or

coalition in american plates.tes could organize in execute a mission o this scale and this complexity. the president has made clear, our first priority is the evacuation of american citizens. since august 14th, we have evacuated at least 4500 u.s. citizens in likely more. more than 500 of those american we're evacuated in just the las day alone. now, many of you have asked how many u.s. citizens remain in afghanistan that want to leave the country. based on our analysis, starting on august 14, when our evacuation operations began, there was a population of as many as 6,000 american citizens in afghanistan that wanted to leave. over the last ten days, roughly 4500 of these americans have been safely evacuated along wit immediate family members. over the past 24 hours, we have been in direct contact with approximately 500 additional americans and provided specific instructions on how to get to the airport safely. we will update you regularly on our progress in getting these 500 american citizens out of afghanistan.

all 2 decades american effort. of course, the midwest speculations the band will take over but not as with as we sold them. so this has been the american ford and trying to control countries throughout the history and various countries. and the moment they feel they could no longer sustain that pollution and that they would simply forsake their employees and the country to the best and the size of those applying over the u. s. embassy and was very similar to the size of the helicopters, us helicopters over that embassy inside on and $975.00. and i believe that the case of dennis time, they're much different from the body. both of the late 19 nineties and even the americans invaded afghanistan all week evidence even though that was implicated in the events of the new york system, the 11. but they wanted to have a pretext to invade the company to direct jump on it. because jenda was against mainly against china against russia. and i guess at the time when that was the rise of coalition, of your asian quote is not a b

let me talk about the americans who remain. we have given americans every opportunity to depart. in some cases, walking them into the airport. those who are considering leaving, we have received confirmation 6000 have been evacuated or otherwise departed. the number will likely grow as outreach continues. we believe there are still a small number of americans under 200, likely closer to 100, who remain in afghanistan on what to leave. we are trying to determine how many. we are calling and texting through our lists and will have more details as soon as possible. part of the challenge with fixing a precise number is they are longtime residents of afghanistan who have american passports were trying to determine if they want to leave. many are american citizens but have family and deep roots in afghanistan. for many it is a painful choice. our commitment to them and all americans in afghanistan continues. the protection and welfare of americans abroad remains vital. if americans in afghanistan tell us they want to stay now and later change their mind, we will help them leave. we hav
