and with that, i will turn it over to jake. >> jake: thank you, jen, and hello everybody.art with an update in terms of the president's engagement today and engaging with his national security team and make a few comments probably on the situation, and then i will be happy to take your questions. this morning, he spoke, commonly known -- he spoke with secretary austin, chairman milley, chairman mckenzie, admiral baisley, and myself. he was briefed about dod personnel have now secured it. it is open and u.s. military flights are taking off. following this briefing with his military commanders, they met by secure videoconference with their national security team. on the evolving situation. they discussed the status of ongoing evacuations as applications and other vulnerable afghans at risk and how we would do this safely and efficiently. and with a laser focus on preventing any potential terrorist threats at or around hkia. director haynes, burns, myself, ambassador wilson, general mckenzie, and other senior officials. just to say a few words about where we have come from an

jake. >> all right.want to bring in cnn's chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta. sanjay, a new cdc report out today might underscore the need for masks in schools. and unvaccinated elementary school teacher took off the mask to read to students, and ended up infecting nearly half of those in the group. it's really incredible, how easily this virus spreads, especially the delta variant. >> yeah. i mean, and we've said that this virus is very unforgiving. and as we show you the specific story here of what happened, you -- you -- be reminded of that. and i will also add that this was back in may of this year when this happened. so, you know, delta was just a few percent of overall cases at that point. delta variant, obviously, even much more transmissible. so unvaccinated elementary school teacher in this case having symptoms. comes into work. takes off mask to read to the children and infects 12 of the 22 students there. eight of ten students who were sitting closest to her or this -- this person,

>> no, jake.e learned on the ground there is that one of the big gest burden on the troops are all these haphazard requests coming in from members of congress and members of the administration in no sort of organized way. the troops again on the ground are doing this incredibly heroic effort not only out there in front of the gate to find these afghans, but behind the wire in the airport to simply identify which ones we need to get, to sift through thousands and thousands of requests and figure out which ones we need to bring over the wire. so the system is not working very well. look, one thing president biden needs to do is give these marines, soldiers, airmen citations for what they're doing on the ground. it's incredible work and not a system set up for what's happening. >> i want to ask you both as veterans and people who have been to afghanistan 20 years into the war, this is how it's ending. con congressman meijer, i'll start with you. was the war in afghanistan worth it, worth cost to amer

now, jake, a number of u.s. troops have already been sent out of the country as part of this drawdown. we shouldn't read too ch into that. these are essentially nonessential staff, so to speak. they are being moved out so that the maximum number of evacuees can be got out over the next 36 or 48 hours before the u.s. has to start its own withdrawal process in earnest. and that will be a very fraught and very, very high-intensity process during which they are at their most vulnerable from attack, particularly from the isis-k group. jake? >> and, sam, the pace of evacuations, as you noted, it's picked up significantly. the pentagon says that the planes leaving kabul roughly every 45 minutes. the evacuations included more than 45,000 americans and passport holders. with so many flights going off and hopefully the congestion and crowds therefore alleviated a bit. >> reporter: there's absolutely no question that conditions have improved, the systems have improved. the number of aircraft coming and going have drastical

>> jake: let me start with american citizens. evacuated, at this point, nearly 5,500 american citizens from kabul. we can never get an absolutely precise count of how many americans were in kabul because americans are required to put themselves in a database as living in afghanistan, but we believe, based on all of the extensive and systematic outreach that we have done, that we are down to a population of 300 or fewer americans who are still on the ground there and we are working actively in these hours and these days to get those folks out. if but i also want to underscore, chris, a very important point. there were some people who have chosen so far not to leave, and that is their right and after august 31st, they are not going to be stuck in afghanistan. we are going to ensure that we have a mechanism to get them out of the country should they choose in the future to come home. the taliban have made commitments to us in that regard, we intend to hold them to those commitments and we have leveraged to hold them to those commitm

jake? >> sam, we know afghans who applied for the special immigrant visas, the sivs, to the u.s. were told to stay away from kabul's airport because the u.s. is prioritizing evacuations for american citizens and legal permanent residents. do we know how long that might be the policy for sivs to stay away? >> no, we don't know, jake. what we do know is that the process inside the airport is now much better than several days ago. there are very, very frequent takeoffs. that means they can be processed more quickly. so there is a hope that perhaps the gates will be opened up. but that means that they're in danger of running into the withdrawal time line and this 31st of august deadline. jake? >> the well, let's talk about that because the taliban have warned of consequences if u.s. troops stay in afghanistan past that august 31st deadline. do we know what that could look like? and of course the u.s. is a much stronger military power than the taliban. who are they to be making threats? >> repor

jake? >> and, nick, we've been covering on this show for months this idea of these afghan allies, interpreters and others trying to get out of the country. people warning the biden administration this needs to happen before the taliban control the roads, before the taliban control the towns and villages. biden, president biden addressed that in his speech. he said one of the reasons they didn't get them out is because some of the afghans decided that actually they wanted to stay because they were hopeful for a future in afghanistan, and the other reason he said is that the afghan government such as it was at the time, told them not to cause a mass exodus for fear that that would cause a crisis in confidence in the afghan government. what's your reaction to that? how credible do you find those claims? >> reporter: i actually have to say i have heard both those things before. although the point you have to realize is that over the past years people who felt threatened, people who felt they ha

>> jake, we've seen two things.st, we've known all along and said all along, including the president, that the taliban was at its greatest position of strength at any time since 2001 when it was last in charge of the country. that is the taliban that we inherited. and so we saw they were very much capable of going on the offensive and beginning to take back the country. but at the same time we had invested over four administrations billions of dollars along with the international community in the afghan security and defense forces. building a modern military. with the most sophisticated equipment. 300,000 forces strong. with an air force the taliban didn't have. and the fact of the matter is, we've seen that that force has been unable to defend the country. that has happened more quickly than we anticipated. >> the idea of them -- the force not being able to defend, i mean, what a lot of experts believe, and you can disagree if you want, is that having the usair support, having u.s. intelligence there to help the af

jake?d out and bringing attention to this issue, did the texas democrats accomplish anything by running away to washington, d.c.? >> you know, they're going to try to put the best possible spin on it at this point saying you see like beto o'rourke saying today they did a great job of raising awareness across the country, of the measures by republicans in texas. but in the end, they walked out toward the end of the legislative session in may. they forced the governor of texas to call two different special sessions to get this bill passed. you know, the immediate impact is that this is not going to stop the inevitable signing of this bill here in the state of texas. now, what they continue to do here in the months ahead and what this -- and how this will play out in the election process next year, perhaps there will be fights in court over this and obviously depends on what congressional democrats do, but democrats are touting that they have raised awareness of what's in this bill and they ho

jake? >> barbara, you asked the pentagon about americans who are not in kabul, not in the capital city. is there a plan to make sure that they are going to be able to get out of that country safely? >> well, that certainly remains to be seen in reality. now, general milley, i just want to tell you, he said that one of the tasks, and let me quote him, is to, quote, evacuate all american citizens from afghanistan who desire to leave the country. that may be a check he cannot cash. there are americans all over kabul that currently cannot even get to the airport. there is an assessment perhaps that there are americans in other parts of afghanistan that cannot get on the roads and get past taliban checkpoints to even get to the capital city in the first place. right now the strategy is to negotiate with the taliban to try and ensure safe passage. you have to believe that there may be some doubt about any taliban promises on that. jake? >> yeah, i would hope so. barbara starr, thank you so much.

>> reporter: right, jake.re getting word that most of the oil and natural gas production is still down. it's still off line. they got 90% of the oil production off line still, off the coast of louisiana, more than 90% of the natural gas production is off line. 278 production platforms remain evacuated. nine oil rigs remain evacuated. that is a huge concern. we've been seeing really, really long lines at gas stations, people getting more on edge, more desperate. if these oil rigs and other production platforms can't get back online, it's going to be just more trouble. >> brian todd in the new orleans area, thank you so much. >>> coming up, controversial opinions. cnn sat down with the leading republican contender who might replace california's democratic governor after the recall election. that's next. oh no... i thought i just ordered tacos. nope!... ramen... burgers... milk from the store, and... ...cookies? wha, me hungry! here, i'll call some friends to help us eat. yeah, that good idea. get more from your

jake?, let me bring you in. there is this circle of blame inside the biden administration about what has gone wrong in the last few days. the pentagon says that they've been urging the state department to move faster when it comes to the special immigrant visas, to the evacuation of staff. the state department is blaming u.s. intelligence, who they claim they suggested they had more time. the intelligence community insisting that the taliban would quickly take over. you've been talking to american diplomats who were in afghanistan. what do they have to say? >> american diplomats who i've talked to who spent time there are gutted for two reasons. first of all, they're concerned that all of their work in the country is going to be completely eroded as the taliban take over. their work to advocate for women's rights organizations, for education, all of that, they're concerned about that. now the secretary of state tony blinken sent a memo to the entire workforce just earlier this week, explain

jake? >> all right, sam kiley at the kabul airport in afghanistan. let's bring in our panel. i want to start with nic robertson because you heard the president there talk about the meeting that he had with allies with the g7, with nato, with the european union talking about how they felt and they agreed on some issues he emphasized obviously the positive. tell us about how that call went. >> well, the preamble to this was, of course, the g7 allies, particularly the europeans wanted more time to get their nationals out. and i think one of the key things that has come out from it, and this is framed by the british prime minister, who of course is the g7 president at the moment, and hosted that virtual meeting. he has said that the relationship with the taliban going forward, and i think this echos what the president said, that thus far the taliban are working with us, thus far the president said, but we're now getting to that pinch point where we heard from sam that the taliban aren't allowin

jake? >> what is the taliban which is supposedly supposed to be in charge of security outside the perimeter, what are they saying about these attacks? >> they have been very quick and vocal in denouncing, it condemning it, insisting that they would stop at nothing to capture and prosecute those behind it. in the past few days they have captured they claim four isis operatives that were scouting possible targets using video. they are at least on the surface expressly condemning this and very keen i think to snuff it out there. will be and there has been a great deal of cooperation over security for this entire operation for the whole evacuation. it's been fraught with political problems. afghan citizens have been blocked for coming recently by the taliban, but there is cooperation, and there will be an anticipation of greater cooperation from the american side of the taliban. they will be looking for that because they will be holing the taliban responsible for having let through these bomber

jake sullivan was talking there. i'm still confused about the number of afghan helpers, translators, fixers, et cetera still trapped in afghanistan that fear for their lives and that are trying to get out. and i found, frankly, jen psaki and the national security advisor noncommittal if you can't get them all out at this rate by august 31st, can you guarantee them safe passage? you were on the ground and spent time in kabul more than a year. how hard will it be to save these people? >> thank you for the question. this is a painfully difficult problem set. yes, the intent would define a way to get them back but there is no mechanism to bring them out of the inner land. if they didn't get out before the final push of the taliban, this is a tragic aspect of this scenario that is unfolding. everybody is trying to do their best but unfortunately, we're a bit behind the power curve here and if these -- if there were to be a major flow from the inner land, it needed to start way back when the trimmers and indications that u

. >> yeah, jake. i'm a little surprised by that last comment there saying that he did not believe there could be a drawdown that would happen without chaos ensuing. because what we have heard from the president and his top national security advisers for the last several months and especially over the last several days is that they have been planning for every contingency for the last several months dating back to that july 8th press conference he held, explaining why he was getting out of afghanistan. he said it was going to be a safe and orderly drawdown. and that is the way he's been framing this, essentially since he confirmed in april that this is the decision that he was going with. he did not say back in april and back in july that this could be an incredibly chaotic, as we've seen now the drawdown that has happened. we'll wait to see if there were more quotes from the president on this and what this is going to look like. but it is kind of hard to see how those answers there are going to satisf

. >> reporter: it is, jake. and i do this have it's significant that of course this is driven by a decision that president biden made. but he did not announce this. it was central command of course that made this announcement that one minute before the deadline before the clock in kabul struck midnight for august 31st was the last time that c-17, a military plane, took off from kabul and headed back home. and he is confirming there that not a single u.s. service member is left in afghanistan. however, he did note the heartbreak of this evacuation saying they did not get everyone out of afghanistan, out of kabul that they wanted to evacuate. but general mckenzie saying there he did not think if they had ten more days to continue evacuations that they still would've been able to get everyone they wanted to get out of afghanistan. still he did note the big numbers, the thousands of people that they were able to get out. he said about 6,000 americans were part of this evacuation that of course involved tens of thous

>> well, thank you for having me, jake.t's a heartbreaking because we were not expecting this to happen like this. it is a total chaos. it's a heartbreaking dismay. we are so disappointed about what's been happening in afghanistan these days. >> have you been able to reach family and friends in afghanistan? what are they doing? are they okay? are they trying to evacuate? >> actually, i didn't talk for my family for the first two days when things were happening, but i talked to my brother this morning and yesterday for a few minutes, and he was telling me that they are still at home, they are not going outside because everybody is scared. and they're scared that they might get targeted because i was working as an interpreter for the u.s. before. so it's a heartbreaking thing for them as well because they're shocked. leaving the country, it's difficult because there is not a system for them to get out. we don't know how to get them out of the country because there are a lot of things happening in our services now -- a way to

back with us now, cnn's jake tapper.oing this interview, some new language, some new words here. what is the thing going on on the ground in afghanistan and kabul is the united states is having to deal at certain levels with the taliban. whether explicitly or implicitly to get americans to the airport and afghan allies to the airport. and the idea that the united states is now having to deal with the taliban has ironically, i suppose is the word here, upset some republicans, including former ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley who wrote, to have our general say that they're depending on diplomacy with the taliban is an unbelievable scenario. negotiating with the taliban is like dealing with the devil. >>> she was u.n. ambassador when the trump administration began dealing with the taliban, correct? >> yeah. yeah, not only that, i have -- there is a story from the military times in january 2018 where then ambassador haley says the u.s. in afghanistan is working. we are seeing closer to talks in the peace process than we've

i'm jake tapper.e begin today with our world lead. the clock is ticking in afghanistan as the evacuation effort enters its final week today. a source told me that the state department briefed congressional staffers saying that 4,100 americans are still actively trying to get out of afghanistan. but hours later after we and others reported that number the state department took it back and claimed that the briefer misspoke. secretary of state antony blinken then said it's actually only 500 americans who definitively need rescuing. and there are an additional 1,000 who may or may not need rescuing. and he said that number remains fluid. when asked, blinken acknowledged that he is only talking about u.s. citizens, not including green card holders. so the real number, if you include legal permanent residents, well, that remains a mystery. so far no american troops and no american citizens have been killed since this all began according to the pentagon, which is good news. though an unknown number of afghan

>> jake sullivan sure is impressive. i was very reassured by his poise coming into the events and the straightforward responses. i would tell you for the last three presidents, the military, the cia said if we pull out, it collapses, you end up with a humanitarian disaster. that's why we stayed for four presidents. i think mr. biden said we're coming out. he ignored the warnings because he's probably correctly said this is going to happen in the future if we stay another three months or so. i think biden made the right call. the tragic consequences occurred much more rapidly than any of them seemed to happen. the intelligence undoubtedly warned them that this thing's on the edge. without special operations, us air power, it was a goner. >> why weren't afghan allies evacuated much earlier in this process? jake sullivan said it would have potentially signalled a lack of confidence in the u.s. by the afghan government and there would have been a domino effect. what's your take on that assertion, general mccaffrey? >> i thin

>> he did, jake.is mind pills, and as a result of that the judge ordered that he be held pending a mental health evaluation. he's charged, as you mentioned, with threatening with a weapon of mass destruction, as well as a threat of explosives. we learned today also from the fbi that apparently in the day before he showed up in front of the library of congress, officials in north carolina received a call from a relative of his who said that he was talking about some of these anti-government views that he was talking about traveling to the washington, d.c. area with the purpose of carrying out violence. this is a report that the local police apparently received, and they called the fbi as this was unfolding yesterday in front of the library of congress. obviously brings back a lot of memories for people on the hill for residents in that neighborhood of january 6th and some of the threats that people have been receiving since those events. >> yeah. this is the kind of far-right maga adjacent violence tha

"p

>> look, i agree with you, jake. i thought that his case for why we had to get out was strong, it was compelling. and i think he did to do that as well. but i do think that he needed to take responsibility. my thoughts go back to president kennedy in the bay of pigs crisis when that was a failure. he stood before the american people and he said victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan. i am the responsible officer of government. and i think a little more of that would've been useful for the president here. we're going to continue to see horrific scenes for some time to come here. and this clearly did not go as planned. and to pretend that it did go as planned. i mean, he did say in passing that this was not -- that it went faster than they thought it would. well, that's like a pretty big fact. there are all kinds of implications of that. i was thinking when he said, you know, we will continue our counterterrorism operations and we're going to have our eyes on the ground there. well, presumably they had

reporter: thank you, jake.an you tell us, what is it exactly, the commitment you have secured from the taliban, regarding the safe passage of americans as well as tens of thousands of will nor will afghans? >> the taliban informed us they are prepared to provide the safe passage of civilians to the airport. we intend to hold them to that commitment. reporter: do you believe them? >> has there a deadline been set -- that's been set? is the deadline august 31 or beyond that? >> we believe this can go through the 31st good we are talking to them about what the exact timetable is for how this will all play out. i don't want to negotiate in public on working out the best modality to get the most people out in the most efficient way possible. >> yesterday, president biden said the united states military [indiscernible] where there is no nation or interest. >> the president has no intentions on drawing down forces from south korea, not in the middle of a civil war. but to deal with the potential of an external enemy,

well, maybe jake figures out that i'm a better cook than him or vice versa. when we get to a winter encampment we're like hey, this guy can really cook and put him over there to work on that and this guy can sit and peel potatoes all day, so you just tried to work out who is the better cook, and you've been around each other for not only the time you've been in service but you grew up in the same towns. maybe this guy, you know, is known for being a great baker and we're going to make him bake, so it all works out in the end, but you're always going to have guys who complain about the food. >> yeah. >> it's -- it's -- yeah. it's like a military story as old as time itself. >> or you can find romans complaining about, you know, the cook. >> yup. >> so quick transition away from food over to hygiene. i think that this is -- i know a little bit about this topic. i think you as an interpreter and a living historian might have some info that would be of use, too. first one we had a couple of questions about teeth and about, you know, toothbrushing, you know, that

but jake sullivan and jen psaki were both asked multiple times about the deadline. right now, the deadline for the americans to leave afghanistan is august 31, and so the question repeatedly was, do you commit to staying a little bit longer if you don't manage to get all of these thousands of americans and afghan allies out of afghanistan by then? asked multiple times, neither jen psaki nor jake sullivan would make a full on commitment, saying that right now they were focused on getting people out to the august 31 deadline. jen psaki also said there were at least 11,000 american citizens that have been self identified to u.s. authorities who are currently still in afghanistan. so you see this is going to be a huge process in the coming weeks. earlier, the pentagon saying they are hoping to have at least between 5000 and 9000 people getting out of afghanistan every day in the coming days and weeks. anchor: caroline, thank you for bringing us up-to-date in washington on the situation. the first french flight out of kabul landed in paris early this evening. on board, 4

>> yes, jake. it's august 31st or shortly thereafter, it's clear that all of the eligible afghans who worked for u.s. forces and the u.s. government are not going to be able to get out. for those watching, what do you say to them? what advice do you give? should they try to get to a third country on their own? should they wait for some diplomatic solution? >> so, first, we're in touch with the afghans at risk, eligible for special immigrant visas and other categories of support from the u.s. government. we are trying to get as many of them to the airport as quickly as possible to get them on flights home, and as i said yesterday, in comments on the sunday shows, we will continue to get afghans at risk out of the country even after u.s. military forces have left. yes? >> thank you, sir. the president has criticized his predecessor. he's criticized the afghan army, the afghan government for all of their failures. one group that he has seemed to criticize at length, though, is the taliban. why is that

yeah, thanks so much. >> thank you, jake. always a pleasure working with you, my friend. >>> jonathan jones of penn state university talks about widespread opiate addiction among civil war veterans. he explains how prescribing opium and morphine, common treatments used for wartime injuries, grew into lifelong drug dependence for many. virginia tech center for civil war studies hosted this event. they provided the video. >> okay. tonight's event our speaker is dr. jonathan jones and he's spending this year at penn state's john and ann richard's civil war era center. so that's this year he is a post-doctoral scholar at penn state. next year in the fall he's going to take up a new position as assistant professor of history at the virginia military institute, so i'm really looking forward -- it's not too far away from virginia tech -- to having dr. jones as a neighbor, kind of, beginning next fall. he is an expert of course in civil war era history, but especially in civil war veterans' struggles with opiate addiction and that wa

. >> thank you jake. well, i started out as a historian and ironed might be in mma in history from the university of pennsylvania, and i went on to work alongside the u.s. army corps of engineers as a historian and archivist. about a year into that i began the tattooed historian on facebook. i used it as a way to showcase some of the archival things that we were finding, and i was really employ enjoying that process. we were doing an archival assessment, going through the archives, trying to see what was in them and the tradition that about them. i was taking photographs of different artifacts, papers documents, showcase to the public who may not be able to go and check those things and. strangely, enough this thing blew up, and i wasn't expecting that. i thought maybe i would get 100 people to follow along, and maybe to find my next job. as time went on, linkedin wasn't a sexy thing so i was using facebook. as time went on, it build up more and more, they started getting on a couple more platforms, twitt
