general lute, let me start with you.plessly today as chaos unfolds at kabul at the airport we've seen desperate people breaching runways, climbing onto planes. ambassador lute, you helped oversee afghan policy for two presidents. what is the security situation now and how does the military gain control? >> well, after some very bad days and very bad hours because of the sort of unexpected sweep of the taliban across afghanistan culminating in its taking of kabul, and the chaos and the desperation that you cite at the kabul airport, i think what we can expect today is a settling down and in coming days an improvement in those conditions. why do i say that? first of all, we have self-thousand american troops now securing the airport itself. that is, they literally surround the airport, the outer fence, the perimeter. and then inside that perimeter they'll establish order and discipline and a sense of routine. as flights come in, get manifested, and take off. so i think what we'll see in place of the chaos and desperation t

"we were devoid of a fundamental understanding of afghanistan," lute told the inspector general. didn't have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking. it's really much worse than you think." or this recorded interview with ryan crocker, former ambassador to afghanistan, talking about the afghan police. >> they'reless as a security force. and they're useless as a security force because they are corrupt down to the control level. >> this endemic corruption is also one of the key reasons of the success of the taliban. when we poured money like manna from heaven in afghanistan, what would you expect? they grabbed it. we contributed to the corruption by just pouring too much money. >> reporter: $145 billion went into rebuilding afghanistan, producing, according to president biden, an afghan army and police that should have been capable of holding its own against the taliban. >> we trained and equipped an afghan military force of some 300,000 strong. incredibly well equipped. >> was that a real 300,000? >> that's what the afghans reported. but we knew that there were serious pro

ambassador lute, good to have you. it's good to have you. first, i want to get your thoughts on the breaking news on the u.s. drone strike targeting an isis-k planner. the u.s. is warning of additional attacks in these final days, but the evacuation mission is still under way. is there a risk this strike could make the situation even more dangerous for our troops on the ground there? >> no, actually i think the strike demonstrates what the president promised, which was the development and execution of an over-the-horizon capability to strike terrorists if they pop up in afghanistan. and striking just in the wake of the current attack or the tragic attack at kabul air base, i think actually suppresses the isis capability and causes them to actually seek cover, lie low, if you will, and probably has a good effect in terms of security around the airport. >> i'm sure many people are hoping you are correct on that. i do want to talk about the volunteer group of american veterans, they've been working unofficially to get at-risk afghan elite force

army lieutenant lute colonel,congresswoman mill, welcome to you. >> great to be with you.hat do you make of the president's remarks on cyber-attacks and possibility of a shooting war? >> i think that there are others that have also come to that conclusion it could lead to that. it means it -- this much more important that we take our cyber security seriously. we enact penalties and sanctions on those who hack those that request ransomware and gain money. it is how we respond to that. i think giving a list to putin saying these are companies in u.s. you don't attack is not the way to ensure our cyber security. and that hacking attacks such as that decrease, we need a bold, approach to avoid shooting wars. trey: i think you put your finger on it. if memory serves, russia is alleged to have attacked or interfered with our elections, food supply and energy supply. if that is not enough to trigger a shoot war or a response, what would it take? precisely. if -- if the president believes a major cyber-attack could lead to a shoot are war. that means you need to institute policies
