jake is talking about financial aid to the taliban is because we left a lot of americans behind and right now there s not many cards left to play to get the americans home and get our al gain allies home other than the economic card and we can end up putting a lot of money in the taliban s pocket to get our remaining americans out. that s why this crisis is far from over. we have a lot of americans that still need to come home and friends of ours that helped us and need to come to the quite and this is far from over and not many tools for americans to play and i think that s why you are saying jake and others talk about the economic aid trying to put a carrot out for the taliban to allow our american citizens to get back home and that s, of course, what we all want. jason: the biden-harris administration trying to say that they have leverage. i quite frankly don t see that. the ultimate question, last question for you, ambassador, is the united states safer than it was before?
