as k.t. pointed out, they are going to have an inventory. they are going to fight with that come potentially sell it and use the cash. i know some taliban groups need some money. what i'm watching from the administration today, and by that, i mean the head of it, president biden, is the shift you talk about. will the media be complicit in letting the white house shift? this is not about ending the war in afghanistan as much as it is how we exit it. that's been the focus of the story for two weeks. the white house would love to do the dance to shift into the next mode, but we need accountability. generals have told me that. they say it is important to know what happened in this mission that went wrong. it is important to be honest about what we can do with this over the horizon. it's interesting, general kellogg joined me last hour, and senator cotton said the same thing over there. "there's a lot you can do when your troops are on the ground. we had isis k drums, but you still have troops on

i would imagine if we have an open border situation, k.t.t frustrates the whole thing by -- we can't calculate what our border patrol will have to do now. fox news confirming a state department memo last month warned that afghanistan could collapse after the troop withdrawal deadline. the clearest evidence yet that the white house had knowledge that a taliban attack was imminent and the afghan military would not be able to stop it. here is former acting dna rick grenell. >> today talking to multiple state department officials, foreign service officers, career officials, and the warnings were early. the troops were removed before american civilians or foreign service officers and embassy personnel were removed. how do you do that? >> harris: the leader of national intelligence just a few months ago. this isn't something like -- they basically must have handed them a binder with this is in it and more intel on top of that. how does this play out do you think, k.t. >> the national security council bert have some explaining to do. all that infor

you make the right question there to k.t., martha. that is what would the trump administration have done differently, if anything and how would it have looked different. there was still this impetus by president trump back then to get troops out of there. politically, that is attractive for americans. we've been fighting there for 19 1/2 years. kwha it means strategically, how to do it is a small footprint worth while, a lot of people on capitol hill would say it was. and they're making that clear tonight. some of them are saying this is what losing looks like. >> martha: thanks very much. we'll have continuing coverage of this huge development, what's going on in afghanistan and we'll watch for "special report" tonight. as i said, mike pompeo will be here soon. and breaking moments ago, a bomb shell in the world health organizations inconclusive investigation into covid origins. the scientist leading that investigation said china did pressure their organization to leave out the lab leak theory and discuss basically the phraseology th

>> k.t.: i think very definitely have to shoot their way out and as far as a war power act, what youding, what is responsibility of the president of the united states when he puts combat forces overseas. 30 days to deal with this without having to seek permission from congress. as far as joe biden resigning, who are you stuck with? vice president harris, she's got a worse track record. what i'm worried about, looking forward, what will happen with the pictures you have just shown? the chinese are sundaying those around the world, reinforcing the argument, america's days are over, it is inevitable and irreversible, look at china, we are the country that will be dominant in the 21st century and ayou better ark bandon america. they did to to taiwan just yesterday, they are using this complete chaos in afghanistan and dysfunction in the united states government, whether republican or democrat or congress or the military, using that as the proof positive that america is incompetent. somebody better get their act together really fast, it only gets worse. there will be hostage taking, kid n

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 i don't think he's answer

k.t.se markets at this point. >> maria great to see you, and we think driver of markets continues to be -- the wall street estimates have been too conservative throughout the course of this year, we are playing catch-up last couple earnings, positive he technology also cyclicals we think cyclicals have life left in them, so all focus on the fed all focus own foreign affairs we think -- earnings bottom line for this market. i am really glad that you are looking at earnings as main driver, because we've had a pretty good earnings season the last couple of quarters, but there is a wide expectation, on wall street, that we've seen the best about we're going to see yes, you are right earnings estimates are away too low wall street analysts have to raise estimates no doubt about it, but have we seen peak growth at this point in your view? >> we thinke we've seen analogy maria the trend now probably or 8 probably slips down to 6, running decent pace seeing momentum given how low interest rates ar

general jack keane, k.t. mcfarland in focus at the top of the hour. >> just one question to answer.d applause] >> bill: i think we needed that, huh? iowa last night. you saw it all. kevin kostner doing the intro for the field of dreams brought to you only by fox. carley shimkus was watching. >> how cool was that shot as the baseball players going through the corn. dyersville, iowa, the first time this field of dreams game has ever happened, right? and i think that the reason this game is so important you said we needed this, right? it is patriotism, it's america and it gets people excited for baseball. america's pastime. some people argued that america's pastime in 2021 is really football. here is baseball's answer in terms of the field of dreams. >> bill: the production was amazing. >> sandra: baseball has other problems like sky high salaries and play -- we forgot about all that for a night. one question. have you ever visited the field of dreams? >> i have. have you? >> sandra: yes. it is worth it. family trip there and you do, you get the feeling. it is a special place. >> bill:

k.t. especially painful for americans who served there with what's going on in afghanistan. dave martinez lost both legs in an ied blast in 2010. wonderful to have you on the show, sir. wrapping up our week here on the show, it started of course terribly on monday and it didn't seem to get better. i know that you as a veteran must have a lot of thoughts running through your head. let us give you the floor and hear your thoughts. >> thank you for having me. i along with other veterans seeing what has been going on is disheartening and i speak for myself and many of the other veterans. it is something that we do start to think and question was it worth it? was our sacrifice worth it? were our brothers killed in action worth it? and i felt kind of like that as well until i was able to focus on rather than asking if it was worth it, i know it was worth it when you think of the last 20 years and what we did for afghanistan, what we did for the women and children and so it is worth it. >> dana:
