maybe. seemingly contradicting what biden told abc news last month. your military advisers did not tell you, no, keep 2,500 troops, we can do that, we can continue to do that. no. no one said that to me that i can recall. the white house down playing the testimony saying the president was offered a range of viewpoints. press secretary jen psaki saying he welcomed their decision. he made a decision that it was time to end the 20-year war. and at the kabul airport, one asking general mark milley whether he thought the airlifting of 124,000 people was successful. it was a success but a strategic failure. and i think those are two different terms. . the joint chiefs of staff chairman addressed reporting in the new book peril by bob woodward and robert costa,
away at that point. she was alone and she had their vehicle. that unfortunately is a question that we ll never get the answer to. perhaps the police have more information about the discussions with them that weren t on that video and what happened after that. a lot of going back down the road here to figure out what happened. thanks, trace. great to have you with us. great coverage. good to see you. so we have some new information also coming in on another huge story. there are 12,000 haitian immigrants pressing in on our border. forcing the administration to begin airlifting them back to haiti because they re not sure what to do with this huge influx at our border. the dhs secretary is now down there. that s a good thing. what is his response? we ll find out in just a moment after this.

airlifting 124,000 people out and that the president will come out to explain how everything he does in foreign policy should be seen through the prism of protecting america s national security interests. so we expect to hear the president look forward somewhat. if he chooses to look back, there s inconsistencies. for example, the president said two weeks ago, if there were americans left in afghanistan, the united states would stay until they re all out. that didn t happen. now he s saying he s going to trust the secretary state anthony blinken to work with international partners to get those folks out. we re also now starting to hear administration officials use a word about the 100 to 200 americans that remain in afghanistan that they hesitated to use last week. that word stranded. listen. we have americans that get stranded in countries all the time. we do everything we can to try
