robert charles, thank you very, very much. es, we've got indications the taliban has already vowed to enforce islamic rule across the country. separately, afghan pilots who fled to uzbekistan, uzbekistan is saying you have to leave. the problem is they don't know where the hell to go. we'll have more after this. advil dual action fights pain 2 ways. it's the first and only fda approved combination of advil plus acetaminophen. advil targets pain. acetaminophen blocks it. advil dual action. fast pain relief that lasts 8 hours. in 2016, i was working at the amazon warehouse when my brother passed away. and a couple of years later, my mother passed away. after taking care of them, i knew that i really wanted to become a nurse. amazon helped me with training and tuition. today, i'm a medical assistant and i'm studying to become a registered nurse. in filipino: you'll always be in my heart. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ that building you're trying to sell, - you should ten-x it. - ten-x it? ten-x is the world's largest online commercial real estate excha

todd: robert charles, 40,000 american citizens could be stranded on taliban and controlled streets. put the visual in your mind, that is your average major league baseball stadium. a large number of people yet at any point in the last 20 years if i told you and said we will trust the safety of these individuals to the taliban, their safety and security, their lives, to the goodwill and honesty of the taliban you would have thought i'm crazy but that is what is playing out. jillian: our understanding is the taliban and set up around the airport in kabul that is hard for a lot of the afghans to try to get into the airport. we are seeing stories and reports that some of them are making their way and but also there are checkpoints all over the place so they are having a hard time leaving their homes to make that trick to the airport to get out of kabul safely and on twitter yesterday i saw a report from a cbs news producer, fox is not confirmed this but a note went out to american citizens requesting to be evacuated from afghanistan and the note said thank you for registering your reque

jillian: robert charles, former secretary of state for george w. bush and former naval intel officer who served in the reagan and bush 41 white house, thank you for waking up early. there was a bit of an admission for the president yesterday in saying this happened quicker than anticipated and there was a lot of blame going round and a lot of blame on the afghan troops. is that fair? >> i can't tell you how it is hard for me to properly present the extent of this foreign-policy failure. this is a cascading national security failure and i will make a little news for you. there's a document in the embassy traditionally call the f 77 of that document describes how many americans are in the country. i'm told the f 77 for afghanistan indicates there are some 15,000, 40,000 american scattered around afghanistan right now. we also noted tell a man as committed to week grace. go for them to get out but most of them are being told to shelter in place by the state department, we are talking places like iraq and on the heart and jalalabad. difficult to get in

robert charles said they're not happy with how this is gone down it is not right for president bidene president get on nationally and blame intelligence analysts, not allowed to talk to the media and give two premises basically saying the taliban was to be ousted and he achieved that. in 10 days he received the opposite outcome. they are in control again. and tens of thousands of soldiers, that's not what we had. we had a finger in the dike, 10 casualties, and get out of the airport. it is a disgrace. todd: don't lie about the intel. and they are in the situation we are in. jillian: a lot of congressmen and women saying they been raising the flag. evan hafer is the founder and ceo of black rifle company, u.s. army veteran, former green beret and contractor who spent 3 years in afghanistan. he said it is so important to get the answers they deserved. they are scared for themselves, scared for family members, take a look at what evan had to say. >> how the process of special -- the american citizens deserve answers. to protect the people who protected us. all the hard work basically be

neil: all right, if they don't hold true to that commitment robert charles the former bush 41 stafferou know, neil, this is completely unprecedented in my view. this is a breath taking lapse of responsible moral, legal, operational, political decision-making by this white house, and i think it's stunning that we don't see the president, the vice president, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, we don't see any of the senate confirmed decision makers here. this is, i get realtime intelligence now rolling at me from people who are talking to those on the ground, and just in the mid-term, right now, you do have, according to the f-77 form more than 15,000 americans presently around the country trying to get out. the taliban were very effective, they are much more organized than they were historically. they took kabul last and setup checkpoints so that people can't get out of these various locations, kandahar, all these places. the problem we've got right now is you've got about 15,000 americans at risk that they may or may not let out of the country after about a week, maybe

i want to go to robert charles, former bush 41 and bush 43 secretary of state. mr. secretary, timeline we're looking at the taliban more or less saying get your people out but making it clear it better be your people, because afghan nationals are staying here. it was fairly unequivocal. what did you make of that? >> you know, neil, i i worked for colin powell, he used to say you need to be looking around corners and anticipating. this is debacle just continuing to unfold. if the latest report something true that he will not allow u.s. military to stay in the country after the 31st because the taliban has told him so the question is what do you do if you have americans and siv applicants left in the country? we know from official documents inside of the embassy 15 to 40,000 americans were in the country. i heard in the last 40 hours there are still americans remaining trying to get to the airport from 22 of the 34 provinces. so that doesn't suggest that we're well on our way to being done as the ambassador noted. i would also say that you know, we probably behind the
