we continue to process as many sib applications as possible -- siv applications as possible. if they can get to a third country for additional processing before coming to the united states. we have now learned from experience that the sib process was not designed to be done in an evacuation emergency. there are lessons we need to learn, we will learn, even as our work continues, ways to make the program work more effectively. one more note on the sivs. i want to thank the veterans who worked in afghanistan. i spoke with several of them, along with the secretary of veterans affairs, were using their voices, their networks, their resources, doing all they can to help their friends in combat. we will partner with them on how to help candidates afghanistan, we have ideas that we will be incorporating into the planning and the work we are doing. we have a relocation task force that is up and running. the information, the ideas we are getting from the veteran community are being put into that process. i share our gratitude to them for their incredibly important advocacy. helping th

. >> the previous administration gave a lot of comments on the sib program. this admits rage had to deal with that upon arrival. -- this administration had to deal with that upon arrival. sec. austin: i would say that the sib program is not designed to accommodate what we just did in evacuating over 100,000 people. perhaps, this program will be looked at going forward. it is designed to be a small process. secretary blinken and the state department worked hard early on to shorten the timeline that it takes to work your way through the process, but again, for the type of operation that we just conducted, i think we need a different type of capability. >> i wanted to ask you about sunday's drone strike. can you take us back to that morning. did you have intel the isis was planning another tack -- attack? was there a vehicle that you thought was carrying explosives? you took it out with a drone strike. reports say that we may have killed as many as 10 civilians. because of the urgent threat to the environment at the time, the pre-lim area assessment indicates th

next round i'll get to the fate of the sib holders and people in afghanistan. thank you, mr. chair. >> thank you, senator tillis. let me recognize senator warren. i'm going over for the vote. >> thank you, mr. chairman. so i want to begin by zooming out because it is not possible l to understand our final months in afghanistan without viewing them in the context of the 20 years that led up to them. anyone who assessment the last few months were a failure but everything before that was great clearly hasn't been paying attention. in 2015, the taliban conquered its first province since 2001. by october 2018 the afghan government controlled only 54% of the 407 districts. and by may 2020 the afghan government controlled less than a third of afghan's 407 districts. we poured money and support and air cover and the afghan government continued to fail. by 2021 it was clear that 2,500 troops could not successfully prop up a government that had been losing ground and support to the taliban for years. secretary austin, i understand that you advised president biden to stay in again, but

country, or legitimate special immigrant visa holders are those who are legitimately eligible for an sib to getting out of the country and the state department lock of these private. why? because it's a on the face of the biden administration. it's embarrassing that takes private evidence special operation retired special operations forces to go into afghanistan to say these people's lives and give them out of the country because the biden administration refused to do it themselves. so if they can do, why couldn't the biden administration do it? it's embarrassing for them so the block, i mean i had, i can tell you how many phone calls from many of these private rescue efforts who were saying we are on the ground, we have americans are others who are trying to get out of the country but we're pretty being prevented from taking off an aircraft or land anywhere to get these people safely evacuated. it just goes to show you foresaw the biden administration lie to us. they like to us from the outset. about their ability to withdraw, their ability to leave afghanistan in a secure situation whe

>> neil, i think from the state department's own numbers there were 17,000 sib's in process, you know we got out of those but you figure like 10,000 at least left over with their families, so you're looking at 40 to 60,000 people who have already been vetted. now let's be clear. they had to be vetted just to serve alongside in afghanistan, and now they are getting vetted again through the sib process, and we're still, we don't have a way to help them. i'm working with a gentleman right now, i'll call him sergeant mike because i don't want to endanger his family and he chose to serve in our country 's military and now he has immediate family members on the ground in afghanistan who served with our military, and they can't get out. he spent two hours on the phone this morning going from the task force to the doha embassy back to the task force to a disconnected line at the state department. he's ready to help. he's ready to get his family members out, and it's jarring, neil. i will talk to you right now and then i'll look down at my phone and get a message from afghanistan and this fami

airlifted which depending on the white house, the most historic successful airlift in history were not sibey were random afghans running to the runway and were shoved into our c-17 and now we are learning some of these afghans were coming from a they were already here once they are here it's difficult to remove them. not only have ties to possible terrorism but also are pedophiles, they have children with them from they force them to marry to get out of afghanistan so the follow-up question is, how to they met these people? reportedly printing out recess and paperwork to get into the airport, that's a major concern so even the white house says there is vetting going on, you have a country where there is complete collapse of the government and no paper trail to vent anybody, i don't think you can trust a single part of the process that wasn't in the system before the past three weeks happened. >> no doubt about it. joey, the new york times have a repealing report on how this went down. mr. biden's speech august 31 at the white house marking the end of americans, a private charter plane, afg

united state citizens. 285 are lawful from that residence. 23,000 are other afghans at risk, including sib and other visa holders. they are also t1 or t2 referrals. this is a small number of countries. we will give updates on that. that is the data as a couple of days ago. the question u.s. is very good. there are people who are eligible. they may not know they are eligible. is very hard to define those numbers. it is something the state department in coordination with the department of homeland security are going to be assessing. what we think we can do to work with population to ensure that individuals who want to leave and went to depart the country can depart. some people are eligible for range of art programs. t1, t2. they may want to depart the country. i have noted it several times. everyone who wants to leave afghanistan come to united states not be able to, and will not be eligible, and do not want to set the expectation. want to assess. we want to use outreach to see how may people there are and what programs might be eligible for. >> i want to get to the taliban for a moment. th

everything i gave them boxes files of correspondence you from years ago with my parents and with my sib? my sister and others and and i just said have had it because i was not really particularly worried was i a little bit apprehensive about what what conclusions they might come to you bet. i was are there some conclusions in the book that i would into disagree with you bet there are do i think on balance that this is a really fair and complete full-throated biography of my life. i do. i think it was fair it certainly covers everything and there were some things in there that i didn't necessarily know. i disagree with some of the authors are some of peter and susan's conclusions, but but on balance, i think it was good. just turn everything over to him and let him ride a full throated biography that had the good and the baddest i tell people it's a fair biography it with wharton all and there's some of the warts on my disagree with not too many. it's a really a pretty darn good book and they're they're excellent rider. yeah, i did a program believe it or not earlier this morning with da

but i suspect that in these other categories, we will find out that they were both sib applicants and families. remember that before the air lift was actually launched, the estimate was that there were more than 15,000 of these special immigrant visas holder, 2 or 3 family members each. that's a number undoubtedly still left in afghanistan and individuals to whom we really do have a moral obligation because their lives were put at risk by their service along our men and women on the ground. paul: yeah, the other question, big question going forward in afghanistan is how do we do -- how do we prevent it from becoming a terrorist sanctuary again and general milley was asked this week, do we have to rely on the taliban as allies to go against isis-k but if we do that, the taliban have close ties to al-qaeda and are we then helping al-qaeda at least indirectly by cooperating with the taliban? that creates a real dilemma for us, does it not? >> there are enormous complexities here and we should recognize that in the process of the taliban offensive to kabul which ultimately, of course, saw

we told you, navy seals, you have elite marines, working out to get 25 americans, 19 sib's on there.he taliban providing your security in your great plan , allowed them through. those people are secure, but the ones our special operators are doing it on the side for free using private donations those are the ones you're worried about. keep in mind when it comes to the refugees too that everyone is concerned about with 30,000 in the u.s. already, right? you got 10,000 of those who want additional screening, 100 are under review, that maybe could be happening, maybe you could cooperate, and find a country that would allow them to maybe park the plane and you can go in and use your technology to find out exactly who they are but i think it's also important to know how much is this costing america. president biden came out and said time for us to stop writing checks use our resources other places. please tell me when we can stop writing checks because right now the president is asking for $6.4 million, 2.4 billion, for defense, to help reset element, 1.3 billion for individuals, 816 mill

chain challenges which we believe will continue in to the foreseeable futures, that is why they were sibs0 homes below the guidance but buyer demand the strong and it's reflected in the sales growth it was driven by strong price appreciation revenue per square foot increased 14% and cost per square foot increased 8% >> you mention strong demand, what does the backlog look like? >> very strong loob, they are coming in with a lot of people coming in to a market still has nothing for sale and the existing home side, we saw supply move up a bit over the summer but then it dropped again, we are hearing reports from realtor.com that supply is falling again as more buyers come in the market and that will create more demand for the new homes, it will be a question of how fast they can get it built they have a strong backlog, but they can not deliver. >> thank you there's worse problems to have, karen finerman >> heyes, i have some of them a strong backlog, is that what you mean and an inability to deliver product? >> yeah, yeah. exactly. >> we talk about is it a sale delayed or denied in and to m

this year perhaps another sib of the fury that the u.s.retly made a nuclear submarine deal with australia canceling a 5-year-old contract to buy subs from france. america's oldest ally calling the deal a knife in the back and taking the unprecedented step of recalling the ambassador to the u.s. back to paris who appeared from paris on "morning joe" today. >> president biden has indeed to posed to have a conversation, a call, with president macron. hopefully will happen in the next days. we'll prepare it and we'll try to rebuild the trust. we have had this reaction because we thought it was a really serious breach of trust. >> joining me is the ambassador that served as the french ambassador to the united states from 2014 to 2019. before that, france's ambassador to the united nations. thank you. we should point out, ambassador, that our friend ambassador tiene in front of the arch which is wrapped by christo so that recently opened to new visitors. anyway, thank you very much. thank you for being with us today. so the u.s. is trying to dow

it's never disrespectful in the way i would describe it i would not sibs describe her that way.i think we talked about the book a lot, she was very, very conscience of the way she portrays herself and often she could influence the way other black women were portrayed. she stopped work onhe a movie shee was doing she was in a military uniform and auxiliary uniform she looked great their dancers in all black women in her being, they came out and there costumes and dirty i aprons she said no that is not happening in my scene, i will not come back to work until this is fixed, she shut the production down for days that's a lot of money that's not something then joined a lot. is in charge of the studio there told her she would never work in movies again as long as she was alive and that was true. i finally gave in and give them floral dresses cheated thing she's not a singing made a role she had have wardrobe approval but she was very conscious this is a way of being that's both respectful although having boundaries and similarly they were all very conscious in their own ways of think

what we saw that you have any idea of who you brought up, knowing you're also complaining about an sibngs that the state department that the secretary of state that should be doing that haven't been done is key things like where are the asylum agreements with other countries near afghanistan to get some of these people out? right now there's no country willing to take afghanistan afghan refugees not one asylum agreement has been named where over a month into this crisis we're nine months into this administration. there has still been no named counterterrorism coordinator at the state department. this has been obviously a planning catastrophe from this administration. i think probably one of the worst things i've ever seen in my time in government. steve: catastrophe indeed and brian, talking about vetting of the 100-some thousand who wound up over here. do we really trust the way our state department has vetted these people, because given how does, how do we vet people on our southern border that we allow in. of course now, you know, it's just a matter of time before afghanistan falls

i think that is a very this ands me at least sibs the democrats -- since the democrats have embarked upon this one-party rule approach, if they are going to spend another $3.5 trillion to $5.5 trillion that they ought to raise the debt limit to accommodate all that additional spending. and i think that's a reasonable way to approach this and i frankly think it's consistent if you look at what's happened in the past. the last time we raised the debt limit was in the summer of 2019, but that was a bipartisan deal and it was a bipartisan deal that actually put caps on spending. we were limiting spending as we were raising the debt limit and republicans and democrats joined together at the time to do that. the spending that i said i referenced in march of 2020, the $4.5 trillion, thereabouts, that was spent on the response to the pandemic, was also bipartisan. in fact, so bipartisan it passed in the senate 96-0. does anybody here ever remember anything around here passing 96-0, particularly of that consequence? clearly -- clearly strong bipartisan support for doing something that needed

we know the irs leaks like sib and does not punish people who hand out the private tax data, only recentlyps. maria: they want to do it so they can raise money to put back the salt deduction. that's backwards. zeroing in on regular folks so that you could get this tax break for the richest people in new york and new jersey with the salt deduction. grover, we will get your take. coming up the irs plans, coming up providing your vaccination status could help you get hired, the new trend taking over resumes. stay with us. maria: welcome back, more job seekers are adding new kind of information to their resume, vaccination status. a growing number of people are now sharing their vaccination status on their resumes. job applications and even their linkedin pages hiring managers are also feeling the push according to new survey from resumebuilder.com managers are varied or somewhat likely to hire a less likely qualified candidate to one vaccinated. dagen: so are you discriminating against people who have a medical reason for not being vaccinated? are you discriminating people who have a religiou

so making the decisions on who qualifies for the visas, the various types whether it's p2 or just an sibns, it's all contained at the state department, so they have to be the one that determines have any people will flow out, when they need to do that and the rate. maria: solo, i mean, the question becomes should antony blinken resign i mean we keep hearing i will take responsibility, but you haven't seen anyone actually take responsibility. >> i think the major failure is antony blinken and the president on the presence of bad decision-making on how to do this withdraw and then antony blinken delayed start. i talked to a lot of guys and i have friends over there, you know, 24 years in the military and they tell me that they were pushing the state department to get started in early summer and the state department drugged their feet. they had nine-- this was another lie from president biden, remember he said none of the people wanted to come and they were 93,000 application so it was the state department that had the major failure here. maria: yeah, i mean, it's hard to keep up with all t

additionally, perhaps to try to get the sib population out. i think we need to recognize if you're asking the after beguns to fight at the same time you're bringing out the best and the brightest, that's clearly a conflicting message. so i don't say that lightly or recognize there wouldn't be risk in taking that course of action. that's the way we could have been forceful with our own citizens. they are a very strict limit ations on what you can do to an american citizen abroad for good reason. you have to trust the good judgment of the people of the american citizens that are in afghanistan. >> right. thank you. >> thank you, senator. >> thank you, mr. chairman. secretary austin, why did the committee not get a testimony for today until 10:35 last night. were you not prepared? >> we were prepared. again, i don't know the specifics of what last-minute adjustments were being made at what level, but we were prepared. >> it would have to be a level above you? did it the white house withhold your testimony? did you have your testimony done before

romney: the question i was leading to, given the fact that the sib process was so slow and not undertaken during the trump years, you spit it up, that is great. -- sped it up, that is great. there was no way you're going to get all of those people out in time. you said yesterday that you inherited a date, you did not inherit the date. the date was made first and you pushed it to august 31. why did you not push it much later so we would be able to process the siv applicants as well as those who had worked with us? why a date was not inherited, and not selected that would be sufficient to actually remove people from the nation in a way that would be key -- beekeeping are moral commitment to our green card holders and those who have worked with us over the years? sec. blinken: we took some risk in terms of what the taliban would do or not to after may 1 in pushing beyond may 1. we worked this very hard. sen. romney: it is a risk with other people we took. sec. blinken: the military told us that in order to do a retrograde, a drawdown from afghanistan in a safe and orderly way, and needed 3-4

>> there's an afghan official saying that these planes have no american citizens and no sib holders andwith where we are. we have americans in a country ruled by our sworn enemy and no one there to help understand, to help them understand how to get out or to help the american people understand how many are there or how dire the situation is. it gives the biden administration cover more than anything to say we are not sure, it's unconfirmed or things like that. todd: let's hope it's not a word of debating words like stranded and meantime, let's get back to back toloss of panjshir valley. it's a difficult place to take. the soviets were unable to do it. we weren't able to do it and a lot of important battles have been fought. they did a good job of securing it until the taliban got there. the taliban was probably only able to take it probably using our equipment and that's what is the irony here. todd: billions of dollars are going to potentially kill other people that we are ultimately trying to help. a weird circular logic. before we get to promotion on fox nation, one more question, d

the state department tells us yesterday that most of our sib are not out and there's been trip-- they. i thought joe biden said we will get everyone out lied about that. number two, anyone still from here on in that wants to get out will get out. she clearly not only is not doing anything, he is hurting private contractors from doing what the government refused it to do, leave people behind. that bothers a lot of people that served and a lot of people that want to help the others stuck there and it doesn't seem to bother that-- this white house at all to be what he calls it extremely successful and said the evacuation efforts went smoothly. steve: for the people that are still there there are two ways out. the state department is telling them to stay there quietly and keep your head down, but they are waiting for the airport to open for commercial civilian travel and a lot of people are eyeing the exit thinking i will go to one of the two exits in the country, pakistan or worse case scenario they want to go through and ran-- i ran so a lot of americans are thinking do i really want to

sticks in my head is michael walter's testimony and he said i wake up to be heading videos everyday to sibof staff, and you look at blinken last week, about getting them out. it's nobody's job, not my word, senator blumenthal said that. he said he has setup basically a clearing house to try to help these people get out, a liberal democrat from connecticut, and cannot get help from the white house. they have to be held accountable for that. ainsley: can you imagine how terrified you'd be if you lived in afghanistan right now and you were someone that helped americans and our allies be heading and amputating people 's hands, arms, limbs, noses, ears. steve: according to the generals blame the state department. i think the revelation for a lot of people is after two days of testimony, and, you know, while they said i'm reluctant to tell you exactly what he told the president, they did reveal that joe biden essentially lied, because during that interview with george stephanopoulos he said nobody told me they had 2,500 people there. ainsley: not that i can recall. steve: maybe he can't recall w

embarrassed because you left americans behind out of the 122000, you didn't even include the majority of the sibwith us. you just picked up anybody, it seems, and now we got to make room on our military base for 50,000 afghans, many of which they might be great people , they might not. we have no idea in many cases who they are. is this the way to run an evacuation? this makes vietnam look like a great idea. you thought the saigon moment that we all saw was embarrassing think about the ongoing embarrassment as the rest of the world wonders is this the united states of america leaving their citizens behind and leaving their allies behind? think about this , if you're in sudan and working with the americans to provide intelligence to take down isis? why would you believe the americans are going to have your back? they just watched what happened because of our politicians and our military leaders in afghanistan. ainsley: we rescued 31,000, and 22000 afghan refugees are deemed at-risk according to this article. brian: 22000. steve: right. well when you look at -- ainsley: they are on seven military

individuals at different lily pad locations who are waiting to go through the process to file for their siby move on to the united states. there are endangered afghans who made it out of the country who are potentially going to be processed for relocation in other countries, not just the united states. certainly, other allies throughout the world have offered to take endangered afghans. and i do know that there continue to be folks on the ground in afghanistan who worked in concert with, side by side with american service members and american organizations, ngos, and some of them continue to be in very, very deprave danger. >> congresswoman, i listen to your questioning yesterday, and you asked the secretary specifically about videos that you've seen and received, testimony you've seen and received about the condition of certain women in afghanistan. women who might have been singled out for assassination, discrimination, et cetera. how much leverage do you think the u.s. still has practically, and how much political capital is it prepared to extend in order to try to ensure that women's ri

i do mean that thank you sib sincerely because he gives us an opportunity to highlight that this provision he seeks to undo has strong, bipartisan support. representative garamendi,all though being my good friend, is in the minority of the minority. he gives us an opportunity to highlight that his amendment would remove funding that is requested by president joe biden. it is of a program initiated by the obama administration. these plans have been validated by three presidential administrations, democrat and republican, six congress, six secretaries of defense, a bipartisan majority in congress have voted repeatedly in support of this program. the same holds true of the warhead which will eventually go on top of the missile. both democrat and republican presidents support this system as it will replace the oldest warhead in the u.s. arsenal. this will increase safety and security. we have been told to try to extend, if it could, the minman 3, it would take $38 billion more, we would have less capability and earlier this year we had a failure of the minuteman 3icbu test. this is about the s
