"the post" reports mullen told embassy staff he was planning to rescue american citizens, a woman and her four children flying from the country of georgia into tajikistan and onto afghanistan. but u.s. embassy officials refused his request for assistance, saying they could not help him bypass tajikistan's currency restrictions. >> we have made it abundantly clear that travel to afghanistan is not safe. >> reporter: mullin's actions alarmed top u.s. officials and defied house leadership in both parties who repeatedly warned members not to travel to afghanistan. >> any member that i've heard that might go, i explained to them that i don't think they should. i think it creates a greater risk. >> this is deadly serious. we do not want members to go. >> reporter: unlike representative seth moulton and peter meijer who went on an unauthorized trip to afghanistan they described as a fact-finding mission, mullin has been in congress since 2012. >> i

reporting out from "the washington post" that officials say he threatened embassy officials in tajikistan a request looking for help to get into afghanistan to rent a helicopter to get out a handful of american citizens. just this past hour congressman seth moulton said this. >> i know mark wayne and i've been asking some of my friends and connections about him because i'm concerned for his safety. >> "washington post" national security reporter john hudson is here with his scoop. let me clarify here. i don't know that congressman mullen in his instagram post said where he was specifically. he just said he was safe. he's not missing. you got to walk us through your reporting here because apparently mullen shows up in the region, the second time he tried to make a trip out there, got a ton of cash, all this money and looking to get a helicopter to get some people out. none of this is sanctioned by the u.s. government and the state department official told you that it was almost impossible to overstate how dangerous this was on this part. >> tyler and i started reporting this out after hear

and a very, very important visit to tajikistan because there is a very important tajik community. they were the last holdout against taliban rule alongside remnants of the former afghan national army. and they are potentially in the future a source of instability. indee, all of these ethnic groups if they are not incorporated almost inevitably will be a destabilizing factor on a new taliban government and an unstable afghanistan is something that both tajikistan and pakistan and indeed uzbekistan can very, very much ill-afford. robyn? >> thanks for that. good to see you there, sam. i appreciate it. sam kiley there. >>> so the language out of paris right now is the harsh yet over the new security deal australia struck with the u.s. and britain. under the agreement, australia will develop nuclear powered submarines with american and british technologies. that deal dissolved years of partnership between australia and france on a fleet of diesel electric subs. paris is so furious over losing the $65 billion contract that it's recalled its ambassadors to canberra and washington. on sat

they allege that you threatened embassy staff in tajikistan. you say it's not true.bring a large amount of cash in with this group of people that you were with. what do you say to that? were you trying to do that, and tell us about your response to them saying that you threatened the ambassador. >> well, first of all, the ambassador and i in tajikistan get along, and it was his group that really tried to help us as much as they could. that's a misnarrative. him and i spoke about this yesterday and he actually apologized about it, and his guys are the ones that were actually there trying to volunteer their time and help towards the end of this, not going up to it. as far as the large sum of cash, anybody that's worked in that region knows they don't take credit cards, and as i said, you got to go through 20 check points, over 20 check points before you could get to the area we're at, and at each one of the check points, they will charge 500 to 4,000 per person. they don't take credit cards, they only take cash. if we're going to get people out, we have to continue to

force personnel who have gotten out of uzbekistan, there are still around 140 more in neighboring tajikistans that processing on them has started. john, between those two countries, around 60 planes and helicopters were flown out of afghanistan. what will happen to them remains unclear, but thanks to those pilots, the taliban will not get their hands on them. >> nice to get some good news. thank you so much for that report. >> so the news continues. let's hand it over to chris for cuomo primetime. >> i'm chris cuomo, and welcome to primetime. now, 9/11 is heavy. 20-year anniversary is heavy. and there were many of you saying the right things. i appreciate what you said to me and about the occasion. but there were still too many that were wearing never forget shirts and yet i was listening. i'm seeing people fighting about stupid things, about lies, and about misinformation. and it reminded me of a quote because we're in a bad place. and i say that because i'm desperate for us to get to a better place. our chief want i

i've spoken to the iranian president, tajikistan and uzebekistan, they are the most relevant.e is an inclusive government and as the respect for human rights, it would not be possible for us to recognise them. so, it really does depend on what they themselves do? absolutely. let me tell you from pakistan, our biggest worry. our biggest worry is that this will be a huge humanitarian crisis, and that would immediately lead to a refugee problem. secondly, if they do not have an inclusive government and it gradually descends into a civil war, which if they do not include all the factions, sooner or later they will have again, a sort of civil war. that too will impact pakistan. it will be an unstable afghanistan. ideal placed for terrorists because there's no control, that is a worry. so, terrorism from afghan soil and secondly, if there is a humanitarian crisis or a civil war, a refugee issue for us. can ijust ask you, just go back on something you said — the taliban leadership has assured you or suggested that it will allow women's education again? how strong was the assurance? p

that will include pakistan, uzbekistan, tajikistan and so forth. we also have to work very closely with security checks, and have spoken last night and this morning as well on it. i want to test the accessibility of these arrangements. of course, as you mentioned, we've got to keep the borders open. i think giving those third countries arrangements they can feel comfortable in, that's a good idea as well. and the g7, turkey, qatar, the nato secretary-general had a meeting about the importance of keeping airports open and safe passage. so also the international consideration is in pace. [inaudible] is sign posting so you can give that advice. that will be directly there for individuals from those different countries, including the ones you mentioned. >> clearly, this is not the time to be making best friends, but is this your first trip to pakistan? >> i have been there before. the truth is, i was hoping to go, but [inaudible] you understand. >> indeed. >> [inaudible] >> >> foreign secretary mentioned 510 foreign staff in the u.k.. how many were on

concerns about what he's described in the past as a security spillover affecting, for example, tajikistan, which neighbors russia very, very real concerns by the, the russians also with respect to the flow. all the drugs out of this country, of course, this is all about and has repeatedly said that it will crack down on drugs those days are long gone. we know that i've got to stand was world's greatest producer of opium. this out about said that that's this, that's not gonna happen anymore. they've also promised the international community that this country will not be used as a launch pad while groups to launch attacks against foreign states. also participating of course, will be pakistan. but that has very real concerns, again about security and about an influx of more refugees over 3000000 african refugees already in pakistan from conflicts that stretch way back to the 1980s. and the war with the soviet union. also participating as an observer is iran, again, similar issues with respect to security and an influx of refugees. also, we expect the iranians will be raising the issue of the

and tajikistan to work with british diplomat is bad to ensure that anybody who does arrive can quickly travel to the u . k. if they have permission to come here, that's good news for the people who are already here. who's arrived in the last few weeks, those under the, our upscale who worked directly with british troops and the government will now be offered v indefinite right to remain. they can stay here, they can work and so on. but over the next for years, the u. k saying it will allow, in $20000.00 people under a new resettlement scheme, much like they did for syrian refugees taken out of the range of it's not clear what exactly are they going to be offered at the moment. looks more like a few use visa, the right to stay here and then they'll have to reapply. tell us a little bit more about the sort of pressure that the foreign secretary is under. will dominate. rob has been fighting back in the last few days in the media. he knows that he has been roundly criticized, including from some of his own side on the conservative benches in parliament. he has talked about backbiting and

no, indeed, across the border into tajikistan where it had previously supply lines also this time around because it can't call and has support from the mighty united states that force those as strikes simply that this time. so we really, that remains to be seen exactly what happens is we keep an eye on that developing situations of course, against national community as well as many africans wait to hear what sort of inclusive government will be put in place as stated by the taliban. but it's not going to be inclusive enough for women now, is it remains to be seen. you know, these talk that taking place down in kandahar the spiritual home of the taliban to form this new government to decide who will be the the, the figure head and then who will take over the various ministries. and we have heard the various talk about the inclusive it see that this is a different type of taliban. but you know, there are suspicions just about what this will mean despite assurances of respect for human rights. and in particular for women's rights the it remains to be see what that means because of course th

we have received one report that says amrullah saleh has escaped to tajikistan, but we will work outhis is true or not. it is not confirmed yet. in the last hour, our south—east asia correspondent yogita limaye gave me this update on the situation. they continue to reject the claims of the taliban, saying they're not in control of the whole of the province, they say that their forces are still in strategic positions in the valley. one of the reasons it's very difficult to verify this information from eyewitnesses and people on the ground is because mobile phone and internet networks have been cut off there over the past week, when we saw heavy fighting between the taliban and the resistance forces. the taliban spokesman, zabihullah mujahi, of course saying that we have taken control of the whole of the panjshir province. they say that they were trying to resolve the issue through talks, but when those didn't work, they acted militarily because they couldn't accept a power island in afghanistan. we have heard from the spokesman of the resistance front who, as i said, rejected the tali

also an estimated 175 afghan person tolnel to tajikistan. it is still ongoing. we do not yet know about what will happen with some 40 helicopters and fixed wing planes that those pilots flew to uzbekistan. we don't know what will happen to those but i'm sure the new government in kabul would like to get their hands on those valuable helicopters and planes. >> a fascinating story. just an indication on the desperation across all levels of society. also the comment about women's rights, we are getting more and more information about the hardships women will face. part particularly when it comes to education. >> we heard from the new taliban administration official who was happened years ago by the european union. he is now ted indication minister. he was explaining that women will be allowed to get university education. they will have to be in segregated classrooms. take a listen. >> when there is really a ned, men can also teach women. according to shari'a, they, the female students, should observe the veil and there is a need that the teacher can teach students

civilians continue to flee afghanistan to neighboring iran, tajikistan and pakistan varnish to there is no work in afghanistan. we didn't have money to get treatment for our sick members, we are taking them to a charity hospital so they can get free treatment. we do expect both us and qatari officials to take questions tomorrow morning on the state of those evacuations and the growing humanitarian crisis. this is inside afghanistan in doha trade angst, fox news. we are learning new details about the hiker who witnesses say tripped and fell to her death off of a cliff in pacifica yesterday morning. also the jewish new year begins at sundown. and look at how our officer shauna will be celebrated amid the surgeon coronavirus cases because ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ hey google, turn up the heat. ♪ ♪ ♪ expressing with school district, they're too quick send kids for days a time of covid, the san francisco school policy is send the class for a day if one test for covid other area districts doing a modified, allowing to take a covid test at school in the mornings. and continue class they test negative sta

in tajikistan we're going to pull a c-130 and allow anybody sympathetic with us to get in the plane. you'd have people hanging in the wheel well. >> do you agree the situation in kabul was inevitable as the president was trying to argue there? >> i respectfully disagree. i think the biggest question that folks like myself and others have is we knew about at least 20,000 special immigrant visa applicants for a year since donald trump announced we were going to be withdrawing from afghanistan. i agree 100% with joe biden that the american people want us to withdraw our military presence from afghanistan. but the manner in which we withdrew and brought our afghan allies along matters . those 20,000 could have been evacuated much sooner. quite frankly, we have a lot of people still in afghanistan that we're trying to get out. my office alone is trying to track the cases of 198 individuals that are still in afghanistan and for whom we have not received information from u.s. cis, the state department or other authorities. i think that is a big problem for a lot of us right now. >> you say

we are hearing some stories of people getting out with pakistan or tajikistan, but in many cases the countries are saying that we don't have a visa process for you, and actually, we don't want afghans coming over here, and so these folks are locked in and fearing for their lives and we don't want them to die. we don't want anymore bloodshed of our friends or allies over this conflict in afghanistan that has gone on for so long. >> yeah. kevin baron, looking ahead, we heard the chairman of the joint chiefs, mark milley saying that the military phase is clearly over, but the evacuations will continue through the department of state. practically, how will that work if there are no u.s. boots on the ground? >> yeah, that is the good question. i mean, it has to become a partner country effort or independent effort, and john kirby would say the u.s. military flights would stop, but not all flights would stop, but we know that behind the scenes there are other american agents that are still involved with americans on the ground there, but they have to have a continued civilian airlift of so

[applause] >> the president spent part of labor day glad-handing at a union hall in delaware. of he hasn't spoken about afghanistan in six days when he boasted about -- >> president biden: extraordinary success in this mission. >> but the rhetoric and reality still don'tt match. >> demonstration would stand up and talk about all this great success, and certainly they evacuated a lot of people, i don't want to take that away from them, but we

one reason we were over there and in several countries like uzbekistan, and tajikistan was establishootprint to help check china as they grew and got more aggressive. the fact we have given all these up, every single airbase back to native countries as well as china and several billion dollars in u.s. armaments and top military secrets is unbelievable and i can't believe that our military strategists approved this kind of plan. elizabeth: senator, americans don't feel safe. polls show that. they find the rhetoric deeply unserious for nancy pelosi to call this and president to call this an extraordinary success of what happened in afghanistan but, senator, now is this true, democrats are blocking republican demands for investigations into afghanistan? we're talking alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib, cori bush and ayana pressley. is that true. >> i have heard reports but doesn't surprise me because they don't want to investigate this because it is enormously embarrassing to the biden administration. what we find out, domestic politics, put press releases ahead of conditions on th

force personnel who have gotten out of uzbekistan, there are still around 140 more in neighboring tajikistan. general hicks has been tracking their cases as well and has told us that processing on them has started. john, between those two countries, around 60 planes and helicopters were flown out of afghanistan. what will happen to them remains unclear, but thanks to those pilots, the taliban will not get their hands on them. >> nice to get some good news. alex, thank you so much for that report. >> so the news continues. let's hand it over to chris for "cuomo primetime." >> all right, thanks, john. i'm chris cuomo, and welcome to "primetime." now, 9/11 is heavy. 20-year anniversary is heavy. and there were many of you saying the right things. i appreciate what you said to me and about the occasion. but there were still too many that were wearing never forget shirts and yet i was listening. i'm seeing people fighting about stupid things, about lies, and about misinformation. and it reminded me of a quote because we're in a bad place. and i say that because i'm desperate for us to get to a be

uzbekistan, tajikistan, pakistan. but you know, there are still americans here. there's lots of people that are trying to get out and as far as we've seen so far there isn't a plan coming together for making that happen anytime soon. >> do you believe that president biden is going to send people to help you? >> mohammed, thank you very much. i wish you the best. dion nissenbaum from the "wall street journal," thank you so much as well. thank you so much. >>> one late note on this. a short time ago on the streaming network peacock white house chief of staff ron klain was asked about the case. he promised to cut through the red tape. his words. those were his words. to get mohammed and other special visa holders out. with that we're joined by cnn contributor and new yorker staff writer evan osnos, author of "joe biden: the life, the run and what matters now." evan, you've probably listened to just about every speech joe biden has ever given in his life. what stuck out to you in this one? >> there are victory speeches, anderson. there are concession speeches. then t

for example if we were in tajikistan, we pulled up a c-130 and said we're going to let, you know, anybody sympathetic to us to get on the plane, we would have people hanging in the wheel well. >> what's your assessment of that, lawrence? >> that was a mess. you know, it is hard to imagine a graceful exit from afghanistan, and even the taliban didn't know that there were going to be walking into kabul when they did so it caught everybody by surprise. i'm heartened by the fact that people are now leaving on commercial flights, so maybe this isn't as big a disaster as it appeared to be. but, you know, when i was in afghanistan it was 2003 and it was a period of great hope. hammers and saws everywhere, you know, as people were building new lives for themselves and girls were going to school, and it looks like all of that has been forfeited now. i fear that the truth is america and its allies could never do it all by ourselves. you know, the afghan people had to have a stake in it as well, and, you know, you have to throw up your hands at some point, say america's involvement with countries th

we need to make it clear to uzbekistan and tajikistan it is u.s. military equipment and it is not to be returned to afghanistan. and so i would appreciate if we could put that in writing to both of those countries that the equipment belongs to the u.s., not to afghanistan. with that said i appreciate your commitment to help. i want to mention one thing. the state department were using the number 124,000. that is u.s. and nato allies, correct? >> that's correct. >> we had provided a list of names of people who were p1, p2, sivs to central command to everybody we knew to get it to and yet our people were not allowed into the kabul airport. they were at the gates but not allowed into the airport even though they were on the manifest and yet so many people came out of the country that appeared not to be on the man fest. -- manifest. so how was the determination made who got on a plane and who didn't get on the plane? >> i can't speak to the exact processes that were -- that existed inside of the airport at the time in terms of how people were sorted ou

advance with their valuable planes and helicopters across the border into neighboring uzbekistan and tajikistanhere were so many rumors that they were going to send us back to afghanistan. that's why everyone was afraid, and everyone was worried about that. >> reporter: we have spoken with afghan pilots themselves and american veterans working to get them to the united states. including retired general david hicks, who led the training of afghan pilots in the u.s. and has criticized the state department for moving too slowly. >> the problem was there started to become members who wanted to go back to afghanistan because they were worried about their wives or their families and so, you know, they were headed back or were going to go back for that reason. >> reporter: we brought you their story last week. then over the weekend, word game they were finally on the move after four weeks. more than 460 pilots, maintainers, and family members loaded onto buses and charter planes, flying uzbekistan airways to abu dhabi for further processing. one step closer to making it to the u.s. where many want to

and there are 145 afghan air force personnel in tajikistan. they flew 16 aircraft into that country on august the 13th. it's now september the 29th. we need to get them out of tajikistan. these are people who trained with us. they fought with us. they did everything that we asked of them. and we have got no assistance at all from the state department to move them. and i'm asking all three of you for your help in addressing the issue. secretary austin, we need the help. >> acknowledged, sir, and we will get with state right away to see if we can move this forward. i share your concern, sir. >> thank you. i do want to mention this, and i think this is where the frustration of every member of the committee comes in, that we had people in uzbekistan, the state department ignored them as well and said they would get to them when they got to them. but we have a lady in tajikistan that's nine months pregnant that's one of our pilots and we need help removing them. we also need to make it clear to uzbekistan and tajikistan that that is u.s. military e

we need more coordination with tajikistan pakistan and more pressure on the taliban to let american citizens green card holders and and special immigrant visa individuals out. as of august 31st 123,000 people including americans have been evacuated from afghanistan a southern california marine killed in a suicide blast at the kabul airport last month was honored today with a pro. thousands came out to pay the respects as the remains of 20 year old us marine lance corporal kareem nakui were transported to the town where he graduated high school just a few years ago norco in riverside county nicole. he died august 26th 10 of his fellow marines a us navy corpseman and us army soldier were all so killed along with more than 100 afghans today pentagon officials admitted that a drone strike in afghanistan several weeks ago killed civilians. not isis members the military received intelligence that a car could be an imminent threat to troops at the kabul airport as many were trying to evacuate they believe there was an isis k bomb inside and they've realized the intelligence was wrong 10 innocent pe

the horrible picture you painted what could have happened in tajikistan happened in kabul.he wheel well of c-130s, dropping from 30,000 feet in the sky on to the ground. your worst-case scenario played out under your watch. pete: that is why there is so much anger. it doesn't devoid the sacrifice of so many for years, people emphasized that point. when you go through all that, do what you did, speak honestly, some spoke honestly about the threat of nature of the threat we faced and islamism, destruction of the west, then your leadership hands it back over to them. actually they're more radical today than they were before. we have leaders in our country believing their propaganda taliban 2.0 might be a real thing. give it ten minutes after the cameras are completely gone. they will go back exactly where they are, they openly embraced al qaeda. not quietly. they openly embraced al qaeda and affiliates there. that is shameful. rachel: what is most damaging of all the fact, the reason, the rationale the terrorists gave for why they thought it was okay to kill americans on 9/11,

we've worked with pakistan, uzbekistan, tajikistan on this to make sure that as we moved people out of afghanistan, they would facilitate their crossing into their countries. we would have consular officials surged in the necessary places to handle people coming out in that fashion. and now to your very important point about documentation and this is something that maybe we can take offline, we are working on a mechanism and a means by which, and there are multiple ways of doing this to make sure that people who don't have the necessary document, for example, a visa, from us. a physical visa, to get that to them. i prefer to go into more detail on that in another setting. >> understood. you were asked at the outset, what are the factors we weigh as we decide the future of our relationship with the taliban? and we're in this difficult situation. many of us recognize the taliban is a terrorist organization that's done horrific things within afghanistan in the past. yet we need to have some working relationship with and to secure the safe passage out of thousands of people who we still ca

pete: appreciate it border agents are accusing biden of paying more to the border crisis in tajikistanr southern border we'll talk to an arizona sheriff who sees the crisis every single day i can't let diabetes get in my way. i've got way too much stuff to do. so here's what i do. i wear this dexcom g6. it continuously sends my glucose numbers to my phone, and this arrow shows me where i'm headed and how fast. check out dexcom.com/inrange. so what's going on? i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 10 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those wi

did you negotiate with countries like uzbekistan or tajikistan to put a capability there? and my last question, is it true that president putin threatened the president of the united states saying he could not build intelligence capabilities in the region? >> this is an important question. and one that in its detail and substance i think we need to take up in another setting. let me say this broadly, and you know this very well, given your focus and expertise on these issues. the terrorist threat has metastasized dramatically over the last 20 years and it's most acute in places like yemen, like libya, like iraq, like syria, like somalia. and of course, we have much greater and different capabilities than we had 20 years ago in terms of dealing with that threat. and in many countries around the world, we deal with it effectively with no u.s. boots on the ground. we lost some capacity, for sure, in not having those boots on the ground in afghanistan, but we have ways and we are very actively working on that to make up for that, to mitigate for that, to make sure that we have

i have friends on the ground working from tajikistan trying to help.use we made a promise and we have not lived up to that promise. todd: to add insult to injury, president biden is on vacation this weekend during all of this, during this latest development. what does it say about a person whether they go on vacation instead of solve ago problem that they ultimately caused? >> right. well, remember, he was on vacation when all this started. his entire administration was on vacation. i'm not sure they ever came off vacation the way this thing was handled. it was just, you know, the keystone cops from the very beginning. and it hasn't gotten any better. we have utterly abandoned this country. we have abandoned americans within this country. the mainstream media right now though is trying to make it go away so that they can change the topic with americans stranded with. >> iv applicants stranded with panjshir valley under heavy assault. the word i have is that it's not over there yet. but with all of this happening, you have got everybody checked out or t

they can do to help get americans out across the afghan border or help neighboring countries like tajikistande open. most of these afghans who supported news afghanistan who joe biden left behind would have a better chance of getting the u.s. if they could somehow get a flight to mexico and get a flight across our southern border. that is appalling. brian: what is our military bases being used for a day care center for all the unaccompanied minors? now we understand that the bases have been told to make spots for 50,050,000 afghans. do you know how much this operation is costing us? they say an average afghan $250,000 don't stay our cities are pour. we need this type of sending. we are spending so much money on worst evacuation and end to a conflict in the history of our country. $50,000 spots in military bases do. we have any room to train anybody except to sit there and house people that really in many cases don't belong here? >> and, brian, the demands on our personnel are massive as well. going to end up costing billions of dollars and many of these bases it will be akin to what we have

relationship the taliban could have, even notjust with the international community, because countries like tajikistanain worried about this, the central asian fighters, from groups like the islamic movement of uzbekistan or the tajik nationals, so we will have to see how the regional dynamics will come into play as well. find will come into play as well. and bilal, are _ will come into play as well. and bilal. are you — will come into play as well. and bilal, are you hearing _ will come into play as well. and bilal, are you hearing about any reprisals from the taliban, against people who have worked with international forces, people who have worked with internationalforces, international governments over the last two decades? , ., , , ., ., decades? there is a sense of fear and uncertainty _ decades? there is a sense of fear and uncertainty prevailing - decades? there is a sense of fear and uncertainty prevailing in i decades? there is a sense of fear and uncertainty prevailing in the i and uncertainty prevailing in the hearts and minds of afghans. 0bviously, hearts and minds of afghans. obviously, we
