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

we are going to leave americans behind? you decide. >> most of the criticism is not of leaving afghanistan, it is the way he has ordered it to happen, by pulling the troops before getting these americans who are now stranded. does he have sense of that? >> first of all, i think it's irresponsible to say americans are stranded. they are not. speak of one american is saying i really want to get out and i'm struck, somewhere in afghanistar kabul, with this trigger a thing to get to that person out, whatever the date? >> our commitment continues to be to u.s. citizens. if they want to leave, we will help them get out. we expect there could be some. >> sean: that is being stranded. that was aired on the fox news channel beer that woman we just played, jen, sadly just one of many contradictions from the biden administration. first they told everyone, just shelter in place. then they said make your way to the airport, we can't ensure your safety but we trust the taliban will give you safe passage. then they said don't come to the

you have done is lie to the american people betrayed the american people and the american soldiers onnd and betray the afghans and in doing so the lights of freedom are going out all over afghanistan i can honestly say as winston churchill said, we don't know they will ever be lit again in our lifetime and afghanistan is just the beginning. judge: clearly, with the taliban having all of the military equipment that we have. it is sophisticated that they will figure it out with china or iran or anyone else. but the whole idea the biden administration is trying to make us believe that they have to get out because the taliban tells us, this is so against the american eat those of please no one behind. america is upside down how was the rest of the world looking at us? >> exactly as was designed. as if we are without power or authority we are we. we are on trustworthy we cannot be relied upon and believe me al qaeda is celebrating. why on earth would anyone ever due to the united states with the biden administration has done? there isn't a military person that will tell you all the things

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

join the montford point marines are americans, and so are muslim americans. but i think society as a whole puts boxes around people. in world war ii it was the fact that they were african-american and based on eugenics at the time they put up barriers like african-americans didn't possess the aptitude. i think there is a visceral attitude towards, even if they are muslim americans in the wake of 9/11 i think it is more of an us versus them, even though they might be from here, they are linking them to other countries so it is an us versus them thing. i don't know if i am the best person to answer that question because i don't really deal with in the wake of 9/11, a lot of my counterparts and cohorts are much more adept at the iraq and afghanistan wars. i deal mostly with the cold war. world war ii through i would say it 1975. >> okinawa was really where the african-american soldiers prove themselves. can you go into that a bit more? >> i wouldn't put at okinawa, i think they proved themselves in tinian some of these original, saipan, tinian were nasty and --

handling the american the african-american figures was a challenge historically because of course african-american americans were segregated in the united states army during the war they served in their own units. and for the most part did not see combat, but there were two divisions in the us army the 92nd and the 93rd divisions that did see combat service. the 93rd division was assigned to fight under french command. and instead of wearing the very familiar pyton helmets that were accustomed to seeing as the image of world war one which is called a brody helmet. it's a british helmet. they wore the french adrian helmet, which is very distinctive. it has a ridge along the crest. it has a smaller brim. and so the african-american figures and helmet that will appear in this in the sculpture. we'll be wearing that adrian helmet to reflect that they served on the segregated basis, but at the same time they appear arm and arm or shoulder to shoulder with white soldiers in other parts of the sculpture to show that they did serve along with all other americans. and the central figure is based on a marin

this is not the american way. according to a new abc news full , the vast majority of americans don't we don't get 84 percent of americans to agree out much at all. up but 84 percent agree u.s. troops should have stayed behin until every single american was evacuated. 71 percent say we should have stayed to make sure every ally of ours is evacuated. also, because we promised them that. our word is supposed to be our bond. not that they necessarily come here, but we get them out of there. it could have been done. it should have been done part w have the most powerful military in the world, under joe biden, the terrorist call all the shot in a written statement which is meaningless, biden said there was no real reason to stay behind and rescue our fellow citizens because the taliban, let's stop lying to ourselves right here. the taliban is a terrorist group . he said the taliban has made commitments on safe passage. okay, i don't trust the taliban joe coming in got to be kidding. we know he is declining quickly cogn

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

it's the way the american soldier is. the american soldier's still doing it too.t fighting for himself. he's fighting for everybody else around him, to give them freedom. and that's what these soldiers did. they died trying to give france back their freedom. i've never had an american say this was a waste of money. i've had americans tell me this is what they want to see their taxpayer money go to. none of these men or women got to go home, walk their daughter down the aisle, see their son get married or sit in a lounge chair or something or rocking chair on their front porch and die of old age. these people didn't do this. they died at a young age for their brothers and their sisters around them. they died and when they died, they gave their life to somebody else. let's not forget them. can't forget them. >>> next, professor, richard faulkner talked about post-world war roam roam america, including a crackdown on left wing organizations, called the red scare. >>> i am very proud to introduce this evening's speaker, dr. richard faulkner, the william a. stop profes

islander americans.ll wrap up the series. it mirrors the structure of the books on women and black americans in congress. there are individual essays about every member introduced in chronological order with contextual essays that set them in generational groups. these are fortified by appendices and historical images and artifacts, some of which people around the table have helped us find. it's aimed at an upper high school/lower college audience. in striking aspects, some of the story lines do mirror one another. women, african-americans, hispanic americans, in each story line there's a turning point where the members become surrogate representatives for the larger hispanic community, or women's issues nationally or african-american's issues. there's also a similar part to this story in terms of how the groups are integrated into congress over time. there's a pioneering generation that has to work their way into the institution. there's generally a long apprenticeship phase where they gain seniority an

, no american should be held hostage and no american should be left. and it's very clear from this conference that we will spend our time on the floor only focused on this. until every american's out, we should not be working on anything else. yes. >> congressman mccarthy, i want to ask if you believe the previously negotiated may 1 date for withdrawal, whether you believe that would have worked out better than what we're seeing today. and if so, why? and secondly, if i may, do you intend to whip your caucus to vote against the infrastructure bill? rep. mccarthy: first of all, i don't think the infrastructure bill should come up. i don't think any other business should come up. we should be spending our time on this right here, and looking at the past, speaking to mr. pompeo, speaking to the former president, i know this would not have taken place. to listen to the administration today say that they had planned for every scenario, would you have planned for this? to watch the president get asked the question, was there any mistakes? would you do anythi

the american people have a right to know. then we should pass, as a body, and gallaher's bill provoked -- prevents us from leaving august 31. the answer should be when americans are fully out of afghanistan stop that's what we would take up. it's simple, straightforward and i believe if the president says what america says matters, let america tell him. >> [indiscernible] >> i have never had such up for briefing at any given time inside that briefing, i had republicans and democrats. i heard questions from democrats and they did not get an answer. why would you quit with five days to go and when americans are still sitting over there? why would you quit when you have allies, the u.k., france, germany who have fought with us in afghanistan, not because they were attacked but because america was attacked, who have asked this president to extend the deadline so they can get their citizens out. why would we turn our backs on them? what with the president pick the taliban over our allies and over america? it is very simple. the on

you believe americans, american citizens who put their lives on the line for america.rians who shoot women who won't cover their faces. who take young girls as brides. who have daily carnivals to watch the stoning of women and gays to death. you leave american citizens and afghan allies who put their lives on the line for america when there was no reason? you don't have the lightest idea what you are doing. you are clueless. but more than that, you are dangerous. and you believate about how you are being received so well by the international community. you are america is back. hey, stupid, the u.k. parliament condemned the united states, holding joe biden in contempt for the debacle in afghanistan. the head of german chance lower merkel's party described the withdrawal as the biggest nato debacle since its founding. while the brits and the french stunned by the unilateral withdrawal from the united states without even an email or phone call or return call to prime minister boris johnson. the brits and the french damped the torpedoes and did what everybody in america wo

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

honorable service, after 20,744 american servicemen and women injured and the loss of 2400 61 american personnel, including 13 lives lost just this week, i refuse to open another decade of warfare in afghanistan. we have been a nation too long at war. if you are 20 years old today, you have never known in america at peace. so when i hear that we could have, should have continued the so-called low-grade effort in afghanistan, at low risk to our service members, at low cost, i don't think enough people understand how much we have asked of the 1% of this country who put that uniform on, willing to put their lives on the line in defense of our nation. maybe it is because my deceased son oh served in iraq for a full year. before that, well. maybe it is because of what i've seen over the years as a senator, vice president and president traveling these countries. a lot of our veterans and their families have gone through hell. deployment after deployment, months and years away from their families. missed birthdays, anniversaries, empty chairs at holidays, financial struggles, divorces, loss o

the americans can't get in. the americans can't get out. and begins to turn it into the main continental army. washington crossing begins at this point. washington meets all of these guys who are new englanders. they have black soldiers. washington is up about that okay. washington has the strength to get into the city but doesn't have the strength to get out. for the next nine months, boston remains under siege. there's periodic skirmishes. the british have a hard time. there's not enough food. there's lots of battles at this place called noodles island for livestock, for sheep. stuff like that. what americans need, cannons, cannons that can blast out of boston. the americans remember they do have cannons at ticonderoga. so in the wind of 1776, george washington sends a man named henry knox who will be the chief of his artillery. to boston. take about eight weeks. one of the forgotten events of the american revolution but an important one. the continental army is getting artillery. and that goes to washington and the map. can't do anything

no americans. as i said before, reason they weren't breathed attacked was part of an agreement that trump had made a year earlier. we will leave by may 1st he said, as long as there's no attack on americans in that europe period. number one, number 2 tale bond was taking large suassa the countryside north and south. none of the major areas, none of the major points of the capitals of each of these provinces. but they were all over the all over the country. and the idea that if i had said on may the 2nd or 3rd, we are not leaving, we are staying. does anybody truly believe that i would not have had to put in significantly more american forces, send your sons your daughters, like my son was sent to iraq to maybe die and for one, for one. so the only rational thing to do in my view was to set up and pre position american forces for the purpose of evacuation and the aircraft to pre position those ahead of time. so that we would be able to begin the process of evacuation of american citizens. s i v and

otherwise, americans won't get home. and certainly the hundreds of probably thousands of afghans who have special immigrant visa status, they're not getting in right now and they're not going to get in unless something changes. >> for folks watching at home, i know we hiv in a two-screen world i know you're looking at twitter and we're seeing reports about injury injuries. lot of speculation on the internet about what's going on here. we'll stick with what we mow as etry to get facts. we are still waiting what we think is an on-time pentagon briefing that will start at 10:30. we'll give you the facts as we know them. i don't want to get too far out over our skis. there's been a lot of discussion in the last couple of days about the possibility of terror attacks on these gates. you heard it from mark. you heard it from our reporters. concern among united states officials, allied officials about the possibility of an attack like this and about the players on the ground. we talked about this with raf. mark, can you give us

society at the time, immigrants, african americans, native americans. again, who didn't enjoy the full range of freedoms and liberties and advantages here in this country, but went over to cease to fight for liberty and freedom and democracy for people they didn't know. this quotation to our speaks for all of them. this is a quotation for president woodrow wilson. never before have men crossed a cease to a foreign land to fight for a cause which they did not pretend was peculiar to their own, but knew was the cause of humanity and mankind. there was some discussion about whether to include a quotation for president wilson given this country consideration in american history. we thought it was important. he was our president at the time, he led us into war. he articulated this idealistic vision to the american people that led them to support the war effort and to volunteer and answer the draft to go to war. in so doing he articulated an idealistic view of american foreign policy that shaped us for the next 100 years. we thought it necessary to have a quo

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

notably the word american. america encompasses north america, south america, people in latin america take issue understandably with u.s. sentence referring to ourselves as american we co-opted that phrase. what does history mean? who is in charge of fashioning it whose interpretation of the past we focus on? in the meantime today's lecture is going to be a chance to connect a lot of the dots but we spent learning together everything from the salem witch trials 21619 to gender, religion and war. to use our reading in particular the trio's book silent past in a production history which you are finishing up this week and next, to think about the history of colonial america and how that history is created, and memorialize but not just in site academic circles and books but out in the public. two ways in which the concept of colonial history are popularized in these ways are the subjects of state trent lecture. it would be myths and monuments. i'm going to start sharing my screen. i began the so far so good, we're a

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. sgr right now at kabul's airport, we're told some flights have resumed after no planes took off for ten hours. thousands of people there still stranded. soldiers on the runway told cnn that 10,000 people had their paper work processed and ready to go but they were stuck in the blistering sun after the country they were being evacuated to said they reached capacity and k could handle no more. the united arab emirates will host 5,000 afghans on a temporary basis after a request from the united states government. they are scrambling to enlist over nations to accept evacuees. we are waiting for this briefing. how do you expect the pentagon will explain and tell us how they're going to decrease this bottleneck? >> first, we know that the pentagon and military are working on decreasing the bottleneck because we have pictures of them getting the air base in germany ready to host them. they are expanding the options. the real question is why is this being done now after qatar filled up. we kn

what about getting those americans out of afghanistan? >> i'm not going to come into my propheticals. i will stay focused on the task at hand which is getting as many people out as rapidly as possible and we will take that day by day. we asked them to come to be a particular on flights and take them home, that's what we intend to do. >> don't worry about the taliban people attacking everyone on the way. of yours ago, the diplomatic national security sector, trying to clarify in a tweet claiming what he meant to say was the intent and they will get all americans who want to leave out of afghanistan. maybe leave with that next time around. that was the only shocking revelation today. apparently are most experienced foreign policy president ever was so busy trying to figure out how to use those tv remotes at camp david that he had not spoken to another world leader during the crisis that he helped create. >> is not it spoken to any other world leaders. myself, secretary blinken, several members of the team have been engaged on a regular basi

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

you've been watching "american artifacts" on c-span3's american history tv. american history tv's american artifacts visited the national gallery of art to learn about an exhibit featuring the memorial to robert gould shaw and the 54th massachusetts volunteer infantry. up next, an additional segment from the program with co-curator saro greenough, regarding the legacy of the memorial and efforts to conserve the once neglected bronze sculpture in boston. >> the 54th massachusetts regiment, augusta saint-gauden shaw memorial, has continued to reverberate through american culture in the 20th and 21st century. artists, poets, writers have reflected on its importance throughout this time. there have been poems written to it, composers have reflected on it. st. gaudens himself was one of the first people to try and promote knowledge about his memorial as soon as it was installed. he commissioned curtis and cameron, who were a company that made prints that circulated images of the finest works of art that america had created. they circulated these images to colleges

he's going to leave americans behind, neil. that is un-american. it's a tragedy and he's letting terrorists dictate the terms. >> neil: i wonder, congressman, when the president does address the nation and we have this limited time and we know that some flights have resumed to get out of there but not nearly at the poise or the number we saw, close to 100,000 have been evacuated from the country since the taliban took over, but i would imagine it could slow to a trickle now and many won't get out. this extension if it doesn't come to pass will mean we left a good number of people back, including maybe a number of americans. many of whom we still can't track down. what do you think of that? >> let me be clear. we've received a number of briefings on this. question cannot in this self- -- this deadline is completely made up. this came out of biden's mind. i verified that yesterday asking a number of officials in a private briefing, this is a self-imposed deadline. there's no way to get thousands of americans out, especially now with this attack that

on the american people. you have americans stranded in afghanistan. we have the biggest foreign policy failure much in my lifetime. why would you not have hearings on that? why would you not put a committee together on that? you have any intel committee shared by adam schiff that spent the time to make it political -- a political announcement on the other committee as well and you watched the failures under his own watch. i think there's a lot of correcting going on that i would focus on that the american people would expect. >> you have a bipartisan infrastructure bill and it sounds like you will know you have a vote on it? september 27 i guess is the day. have you made a decision on whether you will whip members against that or support your conscience on it? >> i do not support the bill. that started off promising to all americans that it would be paid for. it is not paid for. our members and i will have a discussion about it. after this week, it does not seem like an infrastructure bill. the progressives

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

it wasn't just americans.ave been harassed, and in some cases, we don't believe it is a large number, and in a matter of fact the numbers would indicate and i have said this before that by and large, most americans who have their credentials with them are being allowed through taliban checkpoints and onto the gate and dashed into the gate and onto the airfield. by and large, most americans are having no problems we are aware of. i have the cavity out and i will do it again, i have done it every day. we are aware of sporadic cases where they are being allowed entrustment is going on. and yes, some violence has occurred. the secretary has made clear in that phone call the that is unacceptable. >> what i am wondering is, the cases the secretary was talking in the numbers, with those occurring yesterday, there are these recent? are we talking cases -- >> over the course of the last week. we have been made aware of this. >> more cases since the u.s. started talking to the top end and telling them not to do it? >> i

american to graduate. so when she graduated, no one in alabama would provide her with a job. i guess they were still upset that she had gone to that school. so ultimately she gets a job with the department of justice in washington d. c., and the school did ask her to come back, to do the commencement address. and she did. and to make a long story short, the theme of her commencement address, was that you must always be prepared, because you never know what's door you may have to walk through. and that is the story of miss vivian malone jones. who opened a lot of doors. the city made this honourary vivian malone jones way. to basically it's for the historical marker being placed toward the homestead used to be. so the city recognized it. doctor h. roger williams grew up in louisiana on a sugar plantation. decide he wants to be a pharmacist. he goes to pharmacist school. he comes to mobile and opens up the drugstore right here. well 1896, he decides he wants to be a physician. he goes to medical school in na

americans there. let me have one question to that president or anyone else in charge -- what is your plan to bring americans home? you knowingly made a decision that you are leaving them there. you acknowledge the mother to before, there is 11,000--a month or two before, 11,000 to 15,000 americans there. you are now going to put pressure on the taliban when we are going to bring them home? the president told americans there to go to the airport. in less than 30 minutes we had a conference call with his own leadership who said not to go to the airport. the number of members here in congressional district that worked to bring americans home, when they went to the airport as the state department told him to come they said the taliban would take their papers and shoot at them or have them run back. the lies have got to stop, the account ability needs to be there, but most importantly, americans need to be able to be brought home. this cannot be our history, this cannot be where this ends. we will not allo

these are americans with american passports. they're american citizens.get to the airport. it was joe biden that said there's no chance the taliban would take over. no chance. so they didn't have the urgency to get out. they closed an air force base that is under united states control and they closed it. they scuttle it in favor of a kabul airport that i have been to that is not very safe and secure. so i have to tell you, this is the scary part. you can vet the people coming in to the united states if they all had american passports and you prioritize them. keep these other people overseas until they're properly vetted, again, logic defies the biden-harris administration. >> never thought in my lifetime i would see people left behind enemy lines like, this it's inevitable? >> it's a sad day when 13 of our finest people are not going to come home to mom and dad. it's a sad thing. unfortunately the policies of joe biden don't seem to be coming to an end in regard to the america that we think we were living under and where we are today. it's a sad day. >> s

many americans fled west to england where they landed in the american consulate and the american embassy seeking lodging and transportation back home. however, no shipping company would accept american checks. they insisted on british cash. hoover had money, good friends with money. he had empathy, and he had experience solving enormous problems. he stepped up at the request of the american consulate and ambassador, and hoover and a number of his runs, mostly engineers, set up tables throughout the bell rooms of the hotel and proceeded to loan their own money to those in need under the auspices of the american citizens committee. they booked lodging in london and passage on ships to america for the desperate yanks, usually with just the promise to repay the loan. the committee alone that 1.5 million dollars and british pounds to 20,000 refugees. this was done on the honor system, and when all is said and done, about 300,000 dollars was repaid. new once the americans were on their way home, hoover thought that he would return to his business interest. a number of belgian mining engineers

americans out.ying this as heartbreak but if they could not accommodate americans who wanted to get out. that's a quote. what does that mean could not accommodate. >> that means they are inept. incapable. what is sickening is when her own secretary of defense that we did not have the capabilities to export american citizens through the taliban around the airport and yet we didn't have those capabilities. why does the united kingdom and france have those capabilities? from the get go, why did they allow an arbitrary date of august 31 by the telegram an enemy, terrorist group in charge most of the country. harking back to 20 years ago which gave us 9/11 and why in the world that this inept biden a ministration allow the air base will be given away easily defendable to runway, 10000 feet long run given a i did they leave $85 of equipment weaponry therefore our enemies to get? why on earth with a fee given lists of american citizens still there, green card holders afghan allies? frankly, it is inexcusab

the american side. i want to go to raf sanchez monitoring the european side. any new information, new intelligence that our european allies surfaced on the attack, anything more you learned from your end? >> chuck, there's no indication now from any of the coalition allies that their service members were caught up in this attack which we now know killed americans. we heard from the british, from the italians, turks, germans that none of their service members were harmed. there are about a thousand uk troops at hamid karzai airport. the british had the second largest number of western troops in afghanistan over the course of the 20 year war. second largest number of troops today. it is early evening. this morning, the government began to sound the alarm you are jeptly that there was threat of imminent and lethal explosion at kabul airport. this was not a general expression of concern, this was a very, very serious sounding of the alarm, and within a few hours of a british minister going on television and

we've got to get our americans out. got to stay true to those afghan allies that we made promises to, and we've got to make sure we do this in a very strong way going forward. >> garrett: yes or no question: should the united states expand the prim maperimeter around the airport? >> we have to do whatever it takes. the americans we need to get out are not near kabul. they're on the outskirts. the afghan allies are out there. they can't even get through the check points to get to the airport. this is a time where we need to have a list of our americans. we need to make contact with where they are. and we've got to go get them if they can't get to the airport. i can't believe that biden got it so wrong that he said no americans were having a hard time coming to the airport. he said al-qaeda was no longer in afghanistan. he said our allies were fine with what he did. either the people around biden aren't telling him the truth, or he is not thinking in a normal way. something is very wrong here. this is not about partisansh

and to recognize the experience of black americans was not the same as of other americans. i mean, i'm acutely aware waking up this morning seeing the news from kenosha. this is not a topic or a struggle that is entirely in the past and thinking about that these athletes in 1935 36 are experiencing pervasive and even legalized discrimination at home and yet they're going to go and represent represent their country. i also wanted to ask you damien had african-american athletes represented the us at games in the past or was this something new? african-american's had been involved in the olympic games since the the beginning of the modern olympics the first african-american to win a medal was at the 1904 olympic games. and so there had been a long history of african-american's being involved. but 1936 was was special because this was a year where we had a critical mass where there were 18 african-american who who competed in the game. so this was a a watershed moment in many ways. right an extremely visible in a way that had not been before. and in fact in the end 49 nations t

americans don't leave americans on the ground. we have to bring our people home. jillian: have you been your conversations with people who are in afghanistan, are they concerned especially with the administration doubling down on the august 30 first deadline saying they want contingency plans in case they wanted to stay later but driving home the fact that they think they are on track and able to get this done and get everyone out and they say get every american out who wants to come home by that deadline are people scared they are not going to make it by the deadline especially what is being pulled out to meet the deadline? >> absolutely. they are petrified and a high-ranking official just got out and they were breaking down his door so they are using technology to find people so they are frightened and concerned and a lot of them are moving from place to place, so it is so important the administration continues to work hard, planes landing and taking off, we can't stress it enough. carley: you said americans don't leave americans behind and we don't leave our al
