. >> john: jen griffin asked a very prudent question.out a reopening block from air force base to get more planes? he goes into this whole thing about we are not going to you monday morning quarterback it. she says why don't you open it back up again? there is like a rigidity and lack of fluidity to respond to the situation. >> i think the question i would have asked as a follow-up is do you think that would have renewed hostilities with the taliban? are we going to go to war over bog room air base? countless prisoners which were being held there, so i think that is the concern from the administration. if we don't go and bigger, i think we are going to be facing some really -- some significant threats to our people. so significant that i think it's really a dereliction of duty not to do more. >> sandra: that's a big statement from you. here's the exchange from fox news sunday with chris wallace and secretary blinken. >> does the president not know what's going on? >> this is an incredibly emotional time for many of us. including allies a

. >> the press secretary, john, has said, jen psaki, said today that president biden has never reconsidered the august 31st deadline. what does that tell you about how he sees the tragic events in the context of his commitment to get troops out? >> look, i think nearly everything that's happened in the last few weeks, don, has reinforced the president's commitment and belief that getting out of afghanistan is the right thing to do because the 20-year effort to build up an afghan security force and build up an afghan government failed. those forces collapsed very quickly once the united states began withdrawing. and i think the belief that keeping more and more american troops in harm's way in afghanistan is something that simply is not worth it from a cost benefit analysis. it is not worth the lives of those soldiers. this is obviously the worst nightmare for joe biden. this was the worst day of his presidency. he did not want to have to leave having lost american lives at the end of this mission. and, you know, for two weeks you had 100,000 people taken outwithout any mass casualty events.

jen. >> john, are you receiving credible thet threats against u.s.on't leave by a certain date that al qaeda or other groups will begin attacking the airport? >> won't speak to intelligence assessments one way or another, jen. force protection is a high priority. you heard that in the general's opening comments as well. we're always evaluating the threat. it is not only a day by day, but a hour-by-hour thing. it is still a perilous environment and all i could tell you is that we're going to do everything that we can to make sure that we could protect our force, protect the people that we're trying to move on to the airport, and protect their movement out of kabul and as well as protect the entire operation at the air force. you heard the secretary talk about the need to defend the airport so it is something we're looking at literally hour-by-hour. >> and british paratroopers are leaving the airport going into kabul so rescue and evacuate some of their citizens who are trapped, can't get to the airport because of the taliban. why isn't the u.s. doing

jen. >> john, general taylor, you just said that one rocket landed with no effect to the mission. the mission. >> it landed inside of the perimeter and had no effect whatsoever. >> and these isis-k fighters or planners that you have targeted with drone strikes in the last few days, are any of them, were they released from the bagram prison or from the prison, were they known combat ants inside of those prisons. >> i don't think we have that information. >> if 5800 americans were left in afghanistan when you pulled out of bagram at the end of july, why did the u.s. military not begin evacuations of americans before pulling out of the country? >> jen, we talked about this quite some time ago. i'm happy to revisit it. we were already baked into the retrograde plan way back in the spring was the possibility for noncombatant evacuations and helping people get out and we were in constant conversations with the ghani government as well as our colleagues across the inner agency about what that would look like and when would be the right time to do that. and in anticipation of it, well bef

. >> 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

we hear from john kirby at the pentagon and jen psaki at the white house.just said, we are entering the most dangerous part of this mission. we just had the deadliest day for the u.s. military in over a decade yesterday. so as far as the messaging and the communication, do you expect and should there be increased level of communication from our highest levels of government in the final dayss of the mission? >> chris: we had the president for the better part of a half-hour yesterday, not only making a very heart-felt statement, also taking a number of questions, that was just at 5:00 yesterday, 5:30 yesterday afternoon. they can't -- >> sandra: where is blinken and austin? >> chris: they got to be doing their job. >> sandra: fair question, where is second of state, the defense secretary to lead us in this crucial moment? >> chris: well, you know, anybody can criticize what they want, this week we had national security advisor, earlier this week the secretary of state, we had the president yesterday for half an hour, you know, i think woo -- we're getting mos

jake sullivan, jen psaki, john kirby.rd out about what they are being told but sometimes it is conflicting between all different sides. the pentagon said the number of americans in afghanistan was 5,000 to 10,000. jen psaki said 11,000. all kinds of different information coming from different sources and you are not hearing from the major players let alone the president of the united states. look at the schedule today. it is the covid schedule is what's dominating the schedule. and they are having a security leaders meeting now. we have an indication the president is going to be heading back to wilmington, delaware. >> dana: really? >> that's what we're hearing. >> bill: today? >> don't know if it's today or tomorrow but that's what we're hearing. >> democratic congressman from new jersey was on cnn earlier today. the only democratic member of congress i've seen on tv. we mentioned to trey gowdy we have invited dozens to join us and gotten nos from all of them. democrats blamed george booush for kat and donald trump for e

pentagon spokesman, john kirby, in the morning said it was 5 to 10,000. yesterday afternoon, white house press secretary, jen psaki, said it was, in fact, 11,000. and congressional aides were told by state department and pentagon officials the number was actually between 10 and 15,000, according to three sources familiar with those briefings. and that is the number the president said tonight. he also answered questions about the execution of the pullout. >> you don't think this could have been handle -- this exit could have been handled better in any way? no mistakes? >> no, i don't think it could have been handle in a way that -- we are going to back in hindsight and look. but the idea that, somehow, there is a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, i don't know how that happens. i don't know how that happened. >> so, for you, that was always priced into the decision? >> yes. >> he went on to say, in remarks that air tomorrow, that he did not price into the decision the taliban keeping afghans who cooperated with the united states from leaving the country. he was also asked about his earlier, rosier

jen psaki to brief reporters in a few minutes. i want to bring in another national security expert. it is johnurity advisor at one time and the ambassador to the u.n. in the bush administration. thank you for coming on. let me start with the same question that i asked leon panetta. have you thought about what you may vo gotten wrong in the last 20 years? >> i think one of the principal mistakes made is that leaders did not explain why it is in our national security interests to have a continuing u.s. military presence in afghanistan. as an insurance policy to make sure that the taliban did not come back to power, and provide safe aichb haven for isis, al qaeda, and other groups. and also the threat of the terrorist government inback stan. for that strategic reason it has been valid for to years. but i think it got lost in the noise of that nation building in afghanistan. and now people say after 20 years and billions and billions of dollars spent that nation building didn't succeed, so we have no interests and that is simply false. we had a presence in afghanistan to protect american civilians

john kirby said between 5,000 and 10,000. over to the white house, jen psaki says at least 11,000. we're hearing from capitol hill lawmakers they have been briefed by state department and dod, the defense department, that there's between, you know, 10 and 15,000 americans. so when we hear only 2500 americans have been rescued, it does leave some questions who else is out there? who is missing and how is the u.s. military going to know when the issue is over and you can pack up and get out of there, anita? >> confusing and troubling indeed. lucas tomlinson live at the pentagon. griff. griff: for more insight on what this all means for the veterans at home and for those stuck in kabul. a bronze star medal and a purple heart medal and the defense meritorious medal for service in afghanistan just to name a few. congressman thank you for taking time. i wish we had a better reason to have you on today, but we don't. as you heard from admiral kirby from the press briefing at the pentagon, the situation is fluid and dynamic. major general hank taylor, not wanting to go into the threat asse

spin on john, i want to put this up on the screen, jen psaki saying that the president will express his0 people to safety and also offer thanks to the veterans and volunteers who supported the effort and goes on to say that he will lay out his decision to end the war in afghanistan after two decades including the tough decisions he made over the last seven months since he took office to bring the war to a close. she says he will make clear as president he will approach the foreign policy through the prism of what is in our national interest including how best to continue to keep the american people safe. we will hear from the president soon. >> john: can we put that photo backup on the screen for just a second? as the president is considering what he is going to say this afternoon, don't forget that time back in 2008 when the u.n. chuck hagel on the left and john kerry were stranded in the mountains of afghanistan and the man in that photo came to your rescue and now he is stranded, stranded in afghanistan and begging for the president to help him get out. he helped the president when t

johns, abc 7 news. dion: many thanks to you. the bay area nonprofit is pleading for help tonight to evacuate their 360 afghan employees currently in kabul. former anchor cheryl jennings spent time there with the charity, roots of peace and interviewed the afghan president in 2015. the group is based in san rafael and its co-founder told abc 7 news reporter cornell barnard that she is worried and frightened about what could happen next in afghanistan. it's a story you'll see only on abc 7 news. >> it's absolutely not only a crisis. it is catastrophic. cornell: the roots of peace founder was up all night, desperately trying to help her 360 employees stuck in kabul. she just sent this letter to president biden, pleading for help. >> please provide me military aircraft to safely get my staff and their immediate families out of afghanistan right now. cornell: marine counties -- marin county's roots of peace have been doing work in afghanistan for two decades, helping farmers thrive. but her employees are now at double risk of being targeted by taliban forces since they work for a u.s. government-funded nonprofit run by a woman. >> right now, that has a price on my head, o

jen saki first say she doesn't know how many americans have been evacuated from behind terrorist lines. then trying to claim it is quote, irresponsible to say they're stranded. >> i know that my colleague john said a few thousand americans have been evacuated earlier today. as jake noted the vast majority have been afghans, given the size of the population that we are moving out and i'm happy to also follow up after the briefing to see what information we can achieve. >> does the president have a sense most of the criticism is not of leaving afghanistan, it is the way that 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 is irresponsible to say americans are stranded. they are not. >> there are no americans stranded is the white house's official position on what is happening in afghanistan? elizabeth: okay. let's show the cbs, "washington post," "new york times," reporting that yes, americans are stranded. what would jen psaki call it if she couldn't get her o taliban? would she call it babysitting? is this setting up to be a global hostage crisis? >> that is the real fear and you k

and likely jen psaki will receive a lot of questions on what we learned today about the governor. >> john breaks with the andrew cuomo in the way that he suggested a few months ago that he would. andrew cuomo as others have pointed out, no intention of going anywhere. and the question is, canning weather the storm and wait it out? let's bring in joe concha, one of the reasons why andrew cuomo may be able to weather the storm is if the mainstream media gives him an easy ride as they have for the bulk of his governorship, do you expect that to happen? will they have to really go heavy on these allegations brought forward by the attorney general state of new york? >> at this hour, john, it is heavy. look at the home pages of "the new york times" and "the washington post," and even cnn.com, it is a blaring headline lead story. whether it has legs into the future, that is the difference here as far as whether andrew cuomo resigns here or not there to this point he has been very steadfast and defiant in terms of not resigning based on all of these allegations. you saw him on that tape to video
