they do all say, as jen psaki said and mr. biden and others, they don't trust the taliban.will wait and see with the taliban as. in terms of the tactical arrangement, military generals have said they have seen results from i and they believed, for instance, the taliban had blocked potential attacks earlier. they say medications are getting better with the repetition of saying what it is they want and need in terms of security and what threats they are looking at, the cooperation has improved. what does that mean for the future? state department officials say the u.s. is considering the future with a future diplomatic presence in kabul. no formal decision has been announced. that will come in the coming days. jen psaki was quite clear there is no rush to recognize the taliban diplomatically, either by the united states or its allies, that the interaction with the taliban right now is tactical and at a pragmatic level. nancy: jen psaki did reiterate that intention that president biden had set out about hunting down terrorists and making them pay. what does that look like? wha

i anticipate we will hear from the white house press briefing from jen psaki. will certainly be asked about this and asked about those comments that sandro referenced with president biden making very clear where he stands if these allegations are true and confirmed in the investigation as they were, yes, he should resign. i anticipate hearing the same thing today in the press surmounting more and more. >> sandra: head of the democratic caucus is now among the other democrats that have spoken out about this matter and obviously calling for the resignation of andrew cuomo, elise stefanik one of the lawmakers saying "must impeach immediately." we may get her to join us in just a moment. but so many questions and i feel like people that have been watching this play out and waiting for the results of the investigation in the report that we now have, they have questions about the civil nature versus the criminal nature as you heard letitia james was asked about that in the news conference, she said civil in nature defining no more criminal consequences. the accusers

he needs to be honest for a change and cut the crap with the spin with jen psaki. commit that every american is out before you leave afghanistan. why would you leave one american behind, joe? will you pledge not to leave a single american behind? do we have special forces on the ground? are you willing to send them to rescue american citizens who are telling the news media they can't get to the airport? will you commit to extracting our afghan partners, who we promised to get out if this day ever came and you said last week you would get out. and for all the refugees who were rescued, what is being done to vet them? we want to specifics. in other words, we don't have a member of isis or al qaeda sneaking into our country and bringing harm to americans here. and the most important question is this, joe, why didn't you evacuate americans and may, in june, and july watching and knowing the taliban was taking the entire country in record time. there is zero excuse for that. there is no good answer. you failed in what is a surrender. but tonight, let me be clear. the pr

we had jen psaki calling it irresponsible to use that word "." is she going to call every news -- we are using that word because we are not been given specificity by this administration or actual transparency that we can then run with specific words that might describe it more accurately. so we have an administration engaging in semantics with the american people and the american press box are americans and our allies have been absolutely deserted there and to everyone's point, i don't know what is going to happen after august 31st. but given that logistics so far, does not look good. >> harris: yeah. and it -- >> emily: you could negotiate a bite -- >> harris: that would mean that we had to start, like, now with their american troops, right? i mean, it is going to take some time to get off the ground. and the word "stranded" is a lot better than the word i have heard used and that is "hostages. >> i have been a military planner. they are going to start backwards planning right now. they are going to close those doors and it is not far from now.

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

listen what jen psaki said at the press briefing a short time ago. >> sec. of state psaki: i will saybate, it is worth repeating as often as i can, we don't trust the taliban. this is not about trust. there is reality on the ground, the reality is the taliban control large swathss of afghanistan, including the area surrounding the perimeter of the airport. by necessity, that is our option to coordinate with to get american citizens out, to gets our afghan partners out, individuals eligible for the range of programs the united states has out. we have evacuated 105,000 people as result of those coordinated in large part of the coordinated efforts of getting people out. i will say that as department of defense noted earlier today, clearly something went wrong here in the process. we saw the isis-k attack occur yesterday. we don't have additional information to suggest that it was intentional or anything along those lines, which was a question asked yesterday. clearly there was a break in the security process, no question about that. >> john: admiral, whether pacific commander or head of

jen psaki said that he will end the war in afghanistan after 20 years including the tough decision hee over the last seven months as he took office to bring the war to a close. to your point, general, just how important is this moment to stop and take the american people aside and say, look, this is the detailed explanation. this is the intelligence i received on the ground. if that's how he came to the decision, this is how i made the decision to get out. how important is that this afternoon? >> well, it will be important he explains to the american people. but this is a debacle of international proportions. i mean, we created the deadline and set it. it did not have to be this way. there was another way to do this. going forward, and he did not take that path. he said the date is certain, 31 of august we were going to leave come hell or high water. and he did that. and left people behind, which to me is really -- i just can't believe he did that. so he has a lot of explaining to do going forward. here is what he has left behind, a fragmented state, it is basically the wild west on s

this will be the first time we have seen the press secretary jen psaki. initially before this attack happened, this was scheduled for noon. but obviously the day's events disrupted the schedule here. we did hear the president a few moments ago. we will now have questions for the press secretary about the decision the president made to maintain this deadline. the question had been whether they were going to pack up and wrap up this mission earlier than expected given what happened and given the attack on u.s. service members today. right now they are maintaining that. >> all right. live coverage of that coming up. thank you very much. i want to bring in phil mattingly right now. he's also at the white house. phil, first of all, tell us what you are hearing from your sources about the message that the president had for the terrorists who carried out these brutal attacks. >> the president wanted to be unequivocal. and when you saw or heard which he had to say, he most certainly was. there will be retribution and the president has ordered his top military lea

jen psaki is saying no one is stranded. the game sthe is playing that whatever she means by stranded. watch the way language is manipulated because the attempt there is not just to manipulate your thoughts but manipulate reality. my take you asked me. listening to your interview with general keane i believe we're honor bound to help everyone out but i sit here and watch this unfolding, harris, i don't think we have our arms around the full cost, the long-term implications of this ad hoc haphazard reactive. think about the things we aren't thinking about. harris, what about covid? all the people we're extracting from afghanistan. are they tested, are they vaccinated? >> that one reporter tried to drill down. she was shut down. >> simply another long term unknown. where will we resettle them and how will it work? will it be successful? are they vetted and secure? i know people are thinking about these things in the short term. over the long term we're honor bound. but because this presidency and this administration has been s

jen psaki singh barack obama's 500 prison sixtieth birthday bash won't be a super spreader event. be so sure for an event that hasn't happened yet? >> i don't know but we shouldn't worry too much about that. we should worry about the death and at this point death has been decoupled from cases. in the situation where there were cases that no deaths for many of these. we should be thankful, we should start living normally. >> was very even keel, that is why we love having you on, right down the middle. time 23 after the hour. the biden administration did away with trump's remain in mexico policy. jillian: now covid cases surged and entry points are overwhelmed, migrants cannot stay there. we are talking to brandon judd next. >> decius secretary a lot of mayorkas is america needs to deal with its own extremist problems. >> the mystic violent extremism is the greatest terrorist threat we face in the home and. these are often loosely affiliated individuals or small actors motivated by false narratives, ideologies of hate and the like. laura: domestic terrorism misses department's top p

here comes jen psaki, clarissa, i'm sorry. let's listen in. >> i just wanted to provide you all an update on our ongoing efforts on hurricane ida. the president and his homeland security team are closely monitoring the impacts of hurricane ida as damage assessments continue. he has made clear that the state, tribal, and local officials who have request for anything have our full support, and we of course are in close contact. today the fema administrator and the american red cross director in louisiana to meet with the governor and survey the damage from hurricane ida. administrator chriswell will travel to mississippi tomorrow to meet with state officials. and as ida continues to move to the northeast, we expect heavy rain to continue. there's life-threatening flash flooding that remains a threat in west virginia, pennsylvania, d.c., and elsewhere. in the gulf coast search and rescue efforts are underway. 12 urban search and rescue teams are currently operational in louisiana to support state and local efforts. the coast guar

jen psaki said today the most dangerous part of the mission still lies ahead.s this play out over the course of the next couple of days? >> well, hopefully, safely. but, you know, it didn't need to come to this, jackie. this is a failed policy. this could have been avoided. so many things could have been done differently; leaving a residual force, not leaving so precipitously and seeing the fall of the afghan security forces, bagram airfield, bagram prison. i mean, you know the whole list of things. so that's important for people to understand, it didn't need to come to this. but it's going to be very difficult. the next few days are going to be critical. our brave, brave troops are on the front lines trying to get americans and other authorized personnel out of the country while facing the processing protects of isis-k. hopefully, we can get a bead on these guys, isis-k, and deter and/or defeat or disrupt those plots before they're able to do this. you know, relying on the taliban has got to be -- is very, very can sketchy. we have no idea what role they playe

todd: meantime, vogue, not the dance, the magazine, ripped as frauds for a glowing feature on jen psaki quote, unquote, four year hiatus from the white house. this is from vogue. when psaki first appeared in the press briefing room there was a collective swoon, she had a mixture of warmth, humor, intelligence and edge. are you surprised at this? [laughter] jillian: are you going to say something else? >> yeah. even psaki probably read that and say hey that's laying it on a little thick, can't you think. vogue came out 31 years ago, that freaks me out from an age perspective. sarah huckabee sanders, kayleigh mcenany, melania trump, all shunned. they are afraid that the boycotts that will come that will never materialize. jillian: i'm not offended by glowing articles about women in high positions doing a great job in their roles but be fair and do it for every administration. that's the key. >> try to be a little consistent, right. that's all i think anybody wants at this point. at this point. todd: also, melania was a model. model. vogue is a fashion magazine. i don't know, maybe marry t

elizabeth:ow and the jen psaki said, we don't trust the taliban. they just the taliban to take control of the evacuation point that kabul airport. and americans have to get taliban permission to leave, this is same group that gave safe harbor on 9/11 terrorists. >> i actually think they set themselves up for this, they were out trumpets we're doing an amazing airlift. not a problem am -- like waving a flag in front of a bull. every hammer plow, makes them look less credible. elizabeth: okay. congressman mike garcia and colonel james thank you for joining us. >> we'll stay on the white house peacece -- press briefing, we'll stay on coverage of isis suicide bombing in kabul. what itat means for americans in the i world. with us next gold star wife jennie taylor, her husband was killed in afghanistan, and former navy seal derrick who did two tours in afghanistan, stay with us, you are watching the "evening edit" on fox business. but as we've evolved with the military, we've grown to serve all who've honorably served. no matter their rank, or when they

jen psaki as talking about standoff capability for counter-terrorism. well, it is true that the cia has waged a drone war against al qaeda and other terrorists groups very successfully, and we've done drone strikes, the united states in pakistan, iraq, syria, yemen, but in all of those countries, shep, we had people on the ground agents that were helping identify where the targets are, where they're bgoing to be at a certain time it is noft just satellite and signal or intelligence and we won't have that in afghanistan because there is no embassy, so there are no cia officers or very few going forward in afghanistan. and so current and former intelligence officials tell me that it is going to be a difficult slog to go forward to gather intelligence on terrorist threats in afghanistan particularly related to al qaeda. perhaps they will find the isis-k people that carried out the attack because it is in the tal talibans interest. >> it sounds like they know who it is. >> yes, so i wouldn't be surprised if they found those people and eliminated them. becau

jen psaki was asked about it.this whole going back to wilmington, camp david, back to wilmington. is there something to that? >> certainly not. it's just his travel logistics plans. >> going to leave wilmington for the weekend and go to camp david? >> i'm sorry. >> why not just stay in wilmington? >> he likes camp david. a place to be outside, spend time with family. certainly has a beautiful scenery there. go ahead. >> dagen: i guess being at camp david, they think the american people will think he's working? i don't know. you're hiding one way or another, whether you're at camp david or in wilmington. one other issue that we need to hear more about from the biden administration, whether it is psaki, preferably the president himself, his inflation. just this morning we found out that the university of michigan consumer sentiment index fell to the lowest level in ten years. because people are worried about higher prices. we see it in the fox news poll. concerned about inflation, 86%. yes it's because a hardship fo

. >> at the white house press secretary jen psaki was refuting reports that the administration is offeringrants. >> that is not what the cbp is doing, there are indias and other international organizations who are vaccinating migrants as they come across the border. that helps keep a range of people safe in the country. >> waiting for the official release of the july numbers, the ap reports it will top 210,000 which if true would be the sixth straight month of 100,000 of numbers not seen in 20 years. jillian: thank you. >> remember one florida governor on the santa said mister president biden? >> why don't you do your job, why don't you gives border security and so you do that i don't want to hear a blip about covid from you. >> it was literally two days ago. president biden getting back with this remark. >> do you have a response to governor desantis who is using your words about don't be in the way and saying i am in the way to block too much interference from the federal government, your response? >>. go. as the two continue going back and forth over covid restrictions it appears govern

your eyeballs or jen psaki and for biden administration?k at this. >> the president thinks his plan is working. >> the president continues to convey to anyone, as you said who want to come to the united states now is not the time to come. it's not the time to come and try to go through regular migration, you're still at work on improving a system that was very broken when we took office. dan: we have no photo, sp kansas and stop. please, the southern border has been entirely evaporated by the biden administration, you can waltz right in here. jen psaki is trying to deflect from that because she knows it's going to be damaging in 2022. it's a lie but she carries the lie all the time. what is joe biden up to? tell him the truth, no, the truth of joe biden. he's busy blaming other people. notably public and governors ron desantis and greg abbott. >> some governors aren't willing to do the right thing to beat the pandemic and they should allow businesses and universities who want to do the right thing to be able to do it. i say to these governo

thank you for giving us that briefing on the words of jen psaki and antony blinken. our correspondent in washington. its turn our attention to the situation on the ground in afghanistan. we have two reporters. bringing us basically an eyewitness account of what is happening around them at the airport at kabul and also the capital city. it is an education in many ways and some of what we are seeing is raising even bigger questions about what happens next in afghanistan. catherine joined us earlier and told us about the situation in the airport. darker people are growing increasingly desperate around kabul as there are large groups of people in front of buildings still trying to get paperwork, trying to get processed to get out of afghanistan. the taliban trying to get them off the streets. doing their version of crowd control, which involves anything from shooting in the error to living people and shooting people. around the airport, it is increasingly desperate with many people pushing to get in there. people have been trying through any means they can, lots of peopl

and at the same time, before many jen psaki spokane jen psaki was saying there is a serious threat from isis at the airport. americans who cannot be but they are not stranded? bret: semantics there. peter doocy live at the north lawn. let's bring in utah representative chris stewart, he was part of that classified briefing late this afternoon on afghanistan wrapping unjust moments ago. congressman, thanks for being here. i know you can't talk about all the things. we wouldn't expect you to. what can you tell us about what you have learned and what you can tell us and where you see this going? >> well, i have had a chance to be in a scif, most the afternoon. i have had updates on this. i can tell you most of the report thawing are seeing is accurate it reflects the conditions on the ground there there are some other things added to that and in some cases we can't talk about that. but, bret, where do you begin to describe this? the president defends the policy. i agree with him on the policy. so did president trump. but the implementation of this policy has been a disaster that it will li

. >> jen psaki said to peter doocy the americans aren't stranded in afghanistan and we heard you say the word multiple times that you do feel stranded. what would you say to the administration on that front? >> i would like them to do whatever it takes to get us nationals out and people who worked with the us military, whatever it is, bringing more people here, more troops because time is running out. they need to work on a strategy, a plan that works. we get more news to stay put then be told you are going to be evacuated. this is not comforting at all because we don't know if we are going to make it out. >> you are an american citizen, you have two kids. i understand they are in america. i'm sure you've spoken to them. can you describe the messages and conversations you are having and what is your family's biggest fear at this point? >> my daughter is afraid they're going to be had me. quietly going to be had? what is the taliban doing? the taliban is giving kittens to kids. i am -- i can't talk to my kids and see them anymore because i don't know -- it makes my fear worse. >> such

>> kind of wondering what jen psaki put into her contract with the administration puts in mask mandateslways seems to be out of town and gives the job to someone else and she supposed to be the professional picture should be dealing with this. the amount of hide and seek we have been playing with this administration is absolutely wild and i will give some credit to joe biden because the last two administrations whether it was barack obama who said he wanted to withdraw or donald trump who said he wanted to withdraw from afghanistan, generals have always had a reason why we can't do this now he eventually said no, we are doing it now, but i guess we are seeing some of the disaster unfold. i just don't understand why we couldn't have put down more fire around to defend our friends and get our equipment out in a secure way. cheryl: i think a lot of that would like to get into mark millie's head right now, i mean, those images of his face trying to deal with this crisis over the last week. it would be interesting to see what he has to say down the line. christopher, thank you. good to see y

>> i usually go into those presidential press conferences or a jen psaki press conference with notesa question which happens sometimes. but that is the first time that the president has asked me about something and i did not have the trump agreement and the most current agreement, whatever it is, with the taliban in-hand but i understood the point he was trying to make and that's why my answer was very short and it is interesting few hours after that happened somebody in the press corps came up to me in the briefing room and said it's about time that peter doocy took questions from the president. we've been waiting for that. [laughter] howie: were you weary of being drawn into answering his question because it looks like you're debating him as opposed to questioning him? >> yes. and i was not there to debate him. it was a horrible day. everybody that was on the complex had the same feeling that it is heart-breaking. you could tell that the president was as somber as we have ever seen him so that was not -- i was not there trying to debate him. i was just trying to kind of get to -- t

you're listening to jen psaki and talking about the specifics. i want to hit on one thing that she set about the taliban. they are not our friends and we do not trust them. i will say, general, the commander of central command and rear admiral of the u.s. forces on the ground in afghanistan have previously in written correspondence and verbal referred to the taliban as our afghan partners. we talked before we went to the briefing there about what the u.s. is doing as far as the taliban. the amount of trust we are giving the taliban as far as security. i want to play a sound bite where general mckenzie today was asked about threats we are seeing going forward and listen to the end of this and i will get you your reaction. >> very, very what we call tactical, eminent could occur at any moment. they range from rocket attacks and we know they aim to get the suicide vehicles attacks and if they can from a small vehicle to a large vehicle. look at all the options and we are doing every thing we can to be prepared for those attacks. that includes reachi

. >> press secretary jen psaki emphasizing august 31st withdraw deadline saying "nothing has changed.re insight on president biden will not change course, we go to former white house director brett berlin, and great to see, staying on the topic commit is interesting because you talk to people and critics to say if you look at great presidents and great leaders and great coaches, they all have one thing in common, which is when things go bad, you have a willingness to adjust, in fact necessity to adjust the same to see that there is this unwillingness to adjust midstream what is happening in kabul, your thoughts. >> certainly, stubbornness, some might say strong will on the part of president biden to stick to his plan. and i think that is part of the problem that we are not seeing as institutional experts, military officers as well as diplomats who are helping to inform this process. obviously, conditions on the ground are far different when august 31st deadline lisette. and personally as someone who served alongside local staff at embassies overseas, i think it would do an incredible

of this next messaging we are getting because we are hearing one thing from the administration, jen psaki said they are not stranding americans in afghanistan but then we had fatima yesterday in tears pleading with the president to help saying we are stranded. seems like there's a lot of different messages and i'm not sure why. >> it is a hard situation to work through but some people are furious. i'm trying to keep my focus on getting them home. i tried not to be political about this because the most important thing we can do is focus and get our people home. we cannot leave them behind. jillian: the biden administration does not know how many americans are in afghanistan so how can we be so sure by the august 30 first deadline there won't be americans left behind? >> we won't be sure. so many people are contacting their congressional offices, we have so many wonderful veterans in congress and those who were in afghanistan recently have the people they worked with so they are all in communication and it is our job to make sure the administration understand how important it is to bring ou

. >> that's press secretary jen psaki on the final hours of the u.s. in afghanistan. also the administration response to what was hurricane ida. the personnel, the millions of meals and liters of water that's been deployed to the southeast u.s. and into the gulf coast. let's bring in katelyn collins. we heard there's a small number of americans in afghanistan who still want to get out. of course, we'll see if that will reconcile their ability to get them out with the president's promise that all americans who want to get out will be extricate frdd from tha country. >> reporter: that promise is conditioned on the deadline, which is august 31 social security, which we're about 30 minutes away from in kabul now. there's a lot of questions facing the white house about when they consider the deadline to be the deadline. is it at midnight. do they still have a few more hours left in the day, give tennessee flights. that's been a big question still facing the white house as well as what's happening to afghan allies who are still there. they've said they believe people will s

biden cracking jokes and laughing, harris doing her chuckle and sometimes even when listening to jen psakithe podium she kind of smirks. what is going on? do they not realize this is no laughing matter? >> it is as serious as a heart attack in afghanistan and other things going on as well the we will get to but preventing the president from speaking is a thing with jen psaki. he doesn't take questions after public statements, only 9 sitdown interviews as president compared to donald trump who did 50 at the same point of his presidency. the american public sees what is happening in their horror reflected in poll numbers. usa today, 41% of americans approve of mister biden's performance. in the same poll 32% of independent voters approve, independent voters defied elections. it's not just afghanistan, he pulls and 30s in his handling of the economy, crying, the border and immigration. he's way down in his handling of covid. one big issue to .2 and say the president is doing a good job on the majority feel he isn't competent enough to do the job of president of the united states and his vice

war of words going on, jen psaki, white house spokesperson attacking rhonda santos's handling of theovernor's office filing back. >> there are steps the precautions that can be taken including encouraging people to get vaccinated, encouraging people to wear masks, allowing schools to mandate masks which is not the current state of play in florida, leaders are going to have to choose whether they will follow public health guidelines or politics. >> the santos's office responding by dismissively ignoring governor desantis's efforts to protect vulnerable for radians jen psaki is playing politics with the pandemic, the white house should be more concerned about the flip-flop of the cdc whichommunitions stating vaccinated people should wear masks and socially distance, implying the vaccines do not change anything, they're moving the fact that -- vulnerable today, who wins this battle? >> americans and people that believe in freedom win this battle and they are flocking to florida because of the policies we have in place, we are not discouraging people from being vaccinated. and one of my

white house press secretary jen psaki told reporters the u.s.ould provide a third booster shot to people at higher risk of covid-19 if the fda decides such shots are warranted. the producers of some of the world's most effective covid-19 vaccines continue to raise prices on the lifesaving inoculation with pfizer and moderna set to charge the european union more than $23 and $25 per dose respectively. a recent study by the people's vaccine alliance found pfizer, biontech, and moderna are charging governments as much as $41 billion above the estimated cost of production. globally, coronavirus cases are continuing to rise, fueled by the spread of the delta variant. china has ordered mass testing in wuhan, the first epicenter of the pandemic, and suspended travel and public events across much of the country. china has confirmed new cases in at least three dozen cities in more than half of its promises -- provinces. thailand has reported another new record for daily infections, with over 20,000 new cases wednesday. in japan, the tokyo olympics organi

jillian: let's talk about what jen psaki said about how americans are not stranded in afghanistan. that's a very different scene from the picture painted by a lot of americans who are in afghanistan who say they are stranded. we had a woman on who is scared for his safety. american government worker trapped in kabul, she does say she is trapped, tried to go to the airport, she has personally been whipped trying to get to the airport. she's giving up hope, take a listen. >> we are stranded, can't get to the airport. when we try to get to the airports we get beat up or are afraid for our lives, some going door-to-door looking for people who worked with the us government or us citizens so our lives are in extreme danger. i don't know how long it will continue. jillian: she doesn't know how long it will continue. she says she's given up hope because so many people she doesn't want to face the taliban. she went to the airport and had to go through 20 n checkpoints. during a press conference yesterday national security by the jake sullivan said the biden administration wants to pull troo

. >> jen psaki kept emphasizing over and over that the people that are still in afghanistan are duelizens, some are children, some are pregnant ladies who for reasons of their own health didn't want to move. i thought that she went over trying to convince us and i don't disbelieve her that the vast majority of americans are out and that through the qataris and others that they can negotiate the release of any others that want to leave. two quick points. biden during his speech emphasized hundreds of millions of dollars every day that we spend in afghanistan. $2 trillion. he also said pointing out and that's why we nor people like major hegseth, 1% of the people serve in the military. he doesn't want to send another generation of american gi's overseas. these are things that the american people care about. the reason why he's getting a pass on this even though conservative commentators are trying to slam him on the americans left behind business, we're sympathetic to the goal that biden sets to stop -- >> part was president biden's speech was off. he's not reading the room. most ameri

question as there are some 68,000 presumably, afghans, who want to get out on planes, and here is jen psakisaki: who will provide an update on afghanistan and take some of your questions. and with that, i will turn it over to jake. >> jake: thank you, jen, and hello everybody. i'm going to start 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 terr

todd: i'm always telling you this, don't call jen sac psaki . the reason she does not want you to describe her that way. (struggling vehicle sounds) think premium can't be capable? think again. ♪ (energetic music) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ introducing the first ever at4 lineup. premium and capable. that's professional grade from gmc. jillian: we are back with a deadly plane crash caught on camera. you can see the aircraft plunging nose-first into a florida lake near the villages. police say one of the two people on-board was killed. witnesses say a man ejected from the plane but his parachute did not open. >> we went over, looked around for him, thinking we could save him and then we saw him, saw a parachute. parachute. jillian: the faa and ntsb are investigating. todd: 16 minutes after the hour now, democrats unveiling a $3.5 trillion budget proposal littered with progressive policies as chuck schumer makes a case for the massive spending push for infrastructure, quote, unquote. >> lower costs for americans it it will cut taxes for american families. it will c

even jen psaki was happy on offense against somebody she has had an atrocity this week.saki did not press for the titanic should put the iceberg on climate change it is embarrassing. i say this, really who might be watching somehow in afghanistan, i am a bit of an estate artist but i have owned bookies in loan sharks in my 20s and 30s i often had to flee perilous situations. i am amazed more people are not getting cabs or finding alternative routes beside the airport. that is the one place drawing the most attention breaks if i really was speaking for my history of dodging adversity like physical violent adversity i would get in the cab, does that make sense? >> it is the poorest country i would do whatever i could to get out of there. brad, you made a really good points. the child is going after certain types of people. they have zero tolerance for women and others, your thoughts? >> so yes i hate to break it to you, candidate this might be of a little bit of a surprise. the taliban are not huge fans of the gays and the homosexual part of me and my boyfriend were in afg

let me go back and fact check jen psaki first off. she says that we can't deport -- send people back under title 42. that's not true. that is a choice that this administration is making. has nothing to do with they can't do something. what she doesn't do is she's telling you -- only giving you part truths. she's not telling you the number of people that are being released into the communities under the catch and release program. that is an astronomical number. nearly 40%. when you look at this month, the month of july, we'll exceed 200,000 apprehensions in the month of july. 40% of those people were released into the united states to spread throughout our communities, a lot of whom could have covid but we don't know because we don't test them. that is a huge problem. you have the problem with the covid-19 spread, you also have the problem of we just don't have -- we can't put enough agents on the line to protect the border, this is a huge crisis and gets worse day by day. >> i want to remind the audience, that is a live shot, folks, m

out just like jen psaki today said that he doesn't want them to be on earth. anymore the president is frustrated. he takes very seriously the attacks that happened yesterday. he knows that not only politically is it bad we, they want to move out of afghanistan and what we keep hearing from the administration is that this is exactly what we were scared. of that these attacks happening and then we having to attack back. another -- some other things we have been hearing is that they had a pretty good idea of who they need to go after. who they want to go after. and if more of that is coming. it is possible. we do not really. no but it depends on, as courtney was saying, how long they are going to wait for -- pull out the troops. are they going to pull out, or wait a bit to find those folks? this was a show of force to make very clear -- the president made a threat yesterday and a promise. he also hinted to us that he had a good idea of who they want to go after, and that's exactly what the show today. >> susan, your reaction to tonight strike after a somber week

. >> john: are at there so jen psaki and peter doocy squaring off of the white house press briefing onssues today. we will keep rolling on here, sandra. >> sandra: on that note, that was the moment because you had the cdc this morning and that update saying, while texas and florida, they have problems. they are accounting for the third of new cases in the country but the question has to be asked, are all these covid positive migrants coming across the border, is not being counted into the county and state data? because that would be worth noting that that's part of the uptick in cases. i reached out to the cbp today and they told us over the phone that they do not test the migrants in custody. that's something we knew but just a reminder, they are then referred it to a local health system for testing answer graining if they are showing obvious symptoms. john, how many of them actually then go, is another question? so to her point about the confusion around the border and how covid is being handled, it's fair to say there's a lot of it. >> i know in mcallen, texas, about 15 people have

i asked jen psaki that question because we have heard from both republicans and democrats on capitol hill. particularly, in the wake of the attack yesterday, given the taliban is responsible for many if not all of the checkpoints outside of the airport in kabul's perimeter. they're concerned. they're unsettled about the range of cooperation and where there was clearly a break. and i asked jen psaki whether or not this was the best of bad options or the only option for american officials as nay they look today at the reality on the ground and she said probably both. the white house makes clear they have been able over the course of the last 13 days to evacuate more than 100,000 individuals. more than 5,000 americans. thousands of afghans but we have heard many stories about those who have not been able to get through checkpoints. particularly, those of afghan origin. and obviously, very serious concerns about the fact that isis-k individuals were able to get past a checkpoint and that close to the airport. obviously, real concerns that are going to continue in the days ahead. >> well,

jen psaki used to work for him. conflict of interest. stop picking on the president.y, critical race theory. it's totally ridiculous. special privileges for them because they are democrats and they are elitist. i find it insulting and offensive and president obama will play the race card. horrible. >> emily: up next, an unruly passenger dock taped to his seat in the middle of a flight. find out what he allegedly did and what other air travelers continue to face. . but sometimes you gotta refresh ...to be fresh. welcome to the eat fresh refresh. refresh where there is so much new, some say that it can't fit in one ad. i say... ...we're talking a new all-american club, deli-style oven-roasted turkey and... oh, that's the new steak & cheese. oh yeah, i knew that. that's the one with the new... ...seasoning. and that was the new mvp parmesan vinaigrette . right. which makes a next level foot... hold up. the subway logo? wait i'm out of time? oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? hold up. the subway logo? so you only pay for what you need. sorry? lim

show cbs, washington post, the new york times according to yes americans are stranded, what would jen psakian't get her children because of the taliban which he call it babysitting is this a global hostage crisis? >> that is a real fear and ask any americans whose desperately trying to break taliban checkpoint and gaslight of freedom whether they feels stranded and they probably give you a different answer from what we heard from the white house. if we don't't get americans oute will see them again and hostage videos put out by the taliban, the taliban and al-qaeda have been taken americans hostage for years, with 15000 of our fellow countrymen inen harm's way, we'e got to get them out because if we don't the taliban are going to go door to door, hunt them down and t find them and we will not like what happens next. elizabeth: guess what happens next the administration is freezing afghanistan's assets at the federal reserve and elsewhere and blocking funds at the imf don't you see a hostage crisis coming they will say will take an american and you have to unfreeze the box for us. thank you

we're waiting for jen psaki to come out. we expect more question and answer there. i want to bring you k.t. mcfarland from the trump administration and marc thiessen, american enterprise institute scholar and speechwriter for george w. bush. a couple quick questions here. 4,500 americans have been evacuated according to the secretary of state. he thinks the number is somewhere between 500 and 1,000 of those that are still remaining that want to get out. do those numbers sound correct to you? do you have any idea if they sound right? >> no. i'm afraid to say the state department was 10 to 15,000. number 1, he's not addressing the people scattered around the country, in the hinderlands. we have pockets of american citizens in all of those provinces. two girls that are teaching english to afghan girls. we have aid workers that are helping build water treatment plants in other parts of the country. he didn't address how those people are supposed to make their way all the way from where they are, traveling on a dirt road, passing taliban checkpoints to kabul airport. so

>> well, white house press secretary jen psaki has time and again noted what the white house and the federal government are relatively limited to what they can do in terms of enforcing vaccinations. they have to stay away from that. they're not mandating people to do it. we heard from him last week about adding incentives, if you will, so federal government employees or contractors want to do so. it will be very difficult if you didn't. there is talk today, jen psaki said the early stages of using federal funding sort of tools of influence to persuade certain groups like health care workers, you know, to take their vaccines. to get the vaccines. certainly there is day after day we've heard jen psaki from the podium champion the private organizations and businesses that have required their employees to do so. united airlines the latest today. requiring all of their workers to get the vaccine. and she certainly cheered on effort business city governments like new york city to push their employees to do the same. so a lot of it is still in the public relations sphere, if you will. we ha

jen psaki will take many, many questions, the press corp will have for her. with that, our forecast with ari melber. >> thank you, we are giving you this continuous coverage on a difficult day in afghanistan as brian williams just mentioned we are here awaiting this briefing from the white house's press secretary. many questions there. you can see reporters already getting into position. we'll bring it to you live. here is the latest on what we know tonight. two suicidal bombers detonated themselves in kabul. the death toll is high. 12 u.s. service members and 15 other americans wounded according to the information we have at this hour. many afghans were killed but based on a security situation, we don't have an exact number on that at this moment. the first explosion was outside the airport in kabul and followed a gunman opening fire by civilians and military targets. isis claimed responsibility. thousands of people had been gathering in these areas so it was well-known on the ground about these points and many people were seeking any type of evacuation, get
