anne: a couple of things. definitely money. so to the degree that the taliban wants international recognition, there's a diplomatic lever. but to the degree that they want to be able to function as a government, and actually run the country, they are going to need some continued influx of foreign capital. there just isn't enough capital sloshing around in the country nor means to produce it to run the country. so a huge lever will be international aid both government to government and international aid groups. and any business that the taliban wants to do with other countries. that's really the main hammer that -- certainly the united states has. remember, we promised billions to the afghan army. who's going to get that money now? if it flows at all? vivian: one really quick point to add to what they just said, pete, is that today, on friday, president biden said that al qaeda is defeated in afghanistan. i don't think anyone at this table believes that al qaeda is defeated quite to the contrary. they just talked about the hikan

ann clark saying they found them all to be credible.that a number of them had other people who could problem rate their accounts. she specifically referenced charlotte bennett. she detailed what she experienced, the conversations she experienced with the governor where she talked about how he asked her about her experience as a survivor of sexual assault and asked her about the details of that experience. talked to her about how he was lonely. how he would like a girlfriend. talked specifically about the age of a woman he would feel comfortable being with, saying that was about 22. she was 25 at the time. ann clark just saying it was almost as if she was taking not just notes but in realtime talking and texting about her conversations with the governor. why that made her feel uncomfortable. what she felt was inappropriate in the texts in the conversations. she brought it to the chief of staff, and that what she had told the media really was backed up by all of these other reports. so the detail not only of these allegations, but, again,

i'm anne-marie green. and we are going to begin with president biden sticking with his deadline to pull u.s. troops out of afghanistan in just six days. yesterday mr. biden said the u.s. is n pace to finish evacuating american forces by tuesday. he said the military has flown more than 70,000 people out since august 14th. meantime, there's criticism against congressman seth moulton and peter meijer. both iraq war veterans. they made a secret trip to the airport in kabul to conduct oversight on the evacuation efforts. but a u.s. official told cbs ws irresponsible. bradley blackburn is in new york with the latest on all of this. bradley, good morning. >> reporter: anne-marie, good morning. the clock is ticking on that deadline, and the taliban's grip is tightening. this morning they are refusing to let many afghan civilians head to the airport, accusing the u.s. of trying to take away the country's doctors, engineers, and other professionals. the united states continues to evacuate thousands from afghanistan

adjusting] [camera shutter clicking] announcer: "earth focus" is made possible in part by a grant from anne ray foundation, a margaret a. cargill philanthropy; the orange county community foundation; and the farvue foundation. [camera focus adjusting] man: we're in madre de dios, and this is an area that until recently has been pristine forests and a small town really close to the triple border between peru, bolivia, and brazil. starting in the early 2000s, there was a plan to build a major highway moving products from brazil over the andes to the ports in the pacific for exports to places like china. that changed the face of madre de dios. it connected the city of puerto maldonado with the city of cusco in the andes. that voyage used to take about two weeks in the rainy season. now it takes about 6 hours. the price of gold started to rise, and in 2008, it skyrocketed. and that created an unprecedented gold boom for tens of thousands of miner who came from mainly the andes into dre de dios and started to take the forest apart. some of the most dense and biodiverse rain forests in the world.

i'm along with my colleague anne clark. we have led the teams at our two law firms in conducting the investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by governor cuomo. we have now completed our investigation and have made our findings and reached our conclusions. they're set forth in a detailed report issued today. as set forth in the report, we find that the governor, on numerous occasions, engaged in conduct that constitutes unlawful sex based harassment. specifically, we find that the governor sexually harassed a number of current and former new york state employees. he did so by, among other things, engaging in unwelcome and non-consensual touching, and also repeatedly making comments of a sexualized or gender based nature. our investigation revealed that these were not isolated incidents. they were part of a pattern. the governor's pattern of sexually harassing behavior was not limited to members of his own staff, but extended to other state employees, including a state trooper who served on his protective detail.

anne is right, the conclusion is we can't make it better.seen in the last few days we can make it worse. the withdrawal of those troops for a very small cost we were paying has had outsized impact on the ability and willingness of the afghan forces to defend their own government. it's a dark day, a dark day for america. it's going to be the end of a 20-year experiment, 20 years of epic failure and a dark day especially for the afghan people. 38 million people returned to the tender mercies of the taliban. >> it is a dark day. at the same time, it's interesting we having a debate about spending a trillion dollars on infrastructure. nbc reporting this week showed we spent over a trillion dollars in afghanistan. for the american people, if you're balancing -- should we send a trillion dollars on bridges and roads in fixing up our infrastructure here in the united states or nation building in afghanistan, i think it's pretty clear-cut where the american people are going to fall. >> anne, what's the divide? clearly a divide between the pentagon a

anne, let me start with you. the contradictions between what the president and administration are saying and what we are, on the ground, seeing seem like they have the makings of a credible gap for the administration. how are they handling that right now? >> yeah, joshua, i think you -- you see how they're handling it in the ever-evolving way that the -- the president, himself, is responding to this. um, let's start with the fact that he felt the need to address this issue three times last week. after essentially dismissing it as -- as finished business the week before. most recently, yesterday, in -- in that clip you played which -- which is the first time he had taken questions on afghanistan in -- in many, many days. he seemed a bit defensive. he seemed to be making the case that the most important thing here is that americans get out safely, and that we end the war. he said, repeatedly, in different forms, you know, you know that i wanted to end this war. ending the war is the right thing. and that really is

if you heard one of the investigators, ann clark, saying he acknowledged some of this. had a different view on how some of it played out, and denied other parts of it. >> he in march said that he wasn't going to bow to cancel culture. that this was cancel culture at play after the most of the new york delegation including senator schumer, including senator jill brandt as dana mentioned earlier came out and said it was time for him to go. so this is also a message to male politicians. it doesn't matter how powerful you are. it doesn't matter what kind of network you have. one of the things i think that struck a lot of us when all of these democratic politicians in new york were kind of coming out on mass is the united front they were presenting, because governor cuomo is known as a very vindictive man. as someone who will ga after people who speak out against him, and there was so much evidence that it was just enough is enough. >> i want to add one thing. as heroic as the women who came out and told their stories are, and they really are, i think we have to just be real
