this after mike mccaul said that they were holding americans and afghan allies hostages. >> there aref chartered airplanes that are on the ground at an airport in a northern city in afghanistan called mazar-i-sharif. these are planes that were supposed to be bringing out some number of u.s. citizens, u.s. visa holders, afghans who had worked with the united states over the last 20 years of conflict in addition to some vulnerable populations like women and girls, for example. now we do know that there are negotiations underway to try to get the taliban to agree to allow these planes to leave. but as to whether or not this is a hostage situation, as congressman mccaul has suggested, that has been disputed by some of the private groups that are organizing some of these flights. people can leave the airport. they just can't get on an airplane and leave afghanistan and go to qatar, as was originally the plan. but, look, the bottom line here, erica, is that it is unbelievably difficult for the united states to really have a great idea of what is going on, on the ground in mazar. the fact of

and we should also note that mccaul being that top republican on the foreign affairs committee has beenritical of the biden administration's role in afghanistan in these waning days. we should also make clear that when former president trump was in office, he was much less critical of their administration's negotiations with the taliban. >> very interesting report, particularly the state department saying that we don't know for sure what is happening because we left. >> reporter: exactly. >> lauren, thank you very much. >>> death toll rising in louisiana as desperation grows for power, gas and food. one week after hurricane ida slammed into the coast. when can residents expect relief? we'll speak to an emergency manager for one of the hardest hit areas. >>> and while former president trump may be mulling a 2024 run, melania trump reportedly has no interest in acting as first lady again. cnn's exclusive new reporting, coming up. what does it feel like to sell your car to carvana? it feels amazing. when you get a great offer in seconds...

lindsey graham, representative michael mccaul, congressman ronny jackson say the numbers of americansundreds. it could be thousands. when you look at the math, congressman, the math is kind of curious here. two weeks ago press secretary jen psaki and the pentagon spokesman were saying 10,000, 15,000 u.s. americans stranded. if you extract 6,000 that were evacuated, we're talking potentially thousands still stranded. what are you saying? >> you look at the math exactly as many of us are asking. you gave us these numbers. you told us you have flown out these numbers. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out a pretty big gap is not being answered. this goes to the point many of us have been saying. every single time the administration steps up to the microphone they are feeding us a lie. that is what they are doing. when president biden says let me be clear, that is an indication that he is about to tell the american people some kind of lie. it happened over and over and over again. you know there is a lot of speculation by many this president must have dementia or something
