they never built a contingency plan to take people out of the embassy. they were planning on staying even though conditions on the ground were getting worse and worse. cities were falling. saturday they had no plans to leave. this is what we re hearing from insiders. the secretary of state owes the american people a lot of explanations for this. of course the buck stops with biden. biden made the decision and it s reprehensible but the state department really botched this. dana: we are getting ready to have the 20th anniversary of 9/11. at the end of your piece you talk about that and your concerns for the future and give you a chance to express that here. what i talked about there is we didn t really end the war here. this is what people need to understand. there are still people who want to kill us. now they have a lot of operational space and timing to plan those attacks. that s the only difference from last week. people need to understand that. there was no war ended.
wall street journal the endless wars fallacy is written by dan crenshaw. thank you. talk to you very soon. reuters is saying that defense secretary austin and general milley are at the white house meeting with president biden now. that should be a very interesting conversation because if the reporting is true over the past several days these two men recommended against the decision made by the commander-in-chief. 3:00 from the pentagon. we ll have it for you. dana: the white house is releasing new guidelines on covid booster shots moments ago recommending all americans who have been vaccinated get a booster shot when they roll out in the middle of september saying the additional jab boosts immunity from covid-19 and delta variant. jonathan serrie, tell us what you know. we will hear more details from federal health officials at the white house press briefing less than half an hour from now. what we know now is that they are moving ahead with the
leader or spokesman in the taliban. they should prohibit them from using the platform and they should immediately stop the censorship of american citizens for speaking their mind or their freedom of speech. bill: twitter has not responded so far to our request for comment. it is worth noting taliban officials are still on twitter. former american president donald trump is not. dana: mike, thank you for that report. bill: another alert on a couple of things happening. we re hearing the secretary of state is now at the white house, anthony blinken. stand by for that. bret baier joins us now. want to squeeze this information in. peter doocy saying it was a question we were wondering about last hour. if the united states military is now flying americans out of the kabul airport. a cuff thing to get there in the first place. was there a quid pro quo agreement with the taliban. white house is denying there
but they are not going to be able to get all of the people that are in let s not even say kabul. all over the country to the airport out in time. definitely not by august 31st. all right our pentagon team is talking to officials saying it will be extremely challenging at a point where they re ramping up at this moment not ready to say august 31st is anywhere close to a deadline. dana: secretary of state of defense lloyd austin and mark milley are at the white house now. i imagine they do want to meet. the president was at camp david by himself. i know you can have secure video teleconferences and i m sure they did work all weekend. it is remarkable that you have not you haven t talked to any world leader until president biden did yesterday after the press briefing when it was revealed he hadn t talked to anybody and he called boris johnson. mark milley and lloyd austin hasn t spoken but neither has
so derelict, such a dereliction of duty. we re better than this as a country and a people. we re being laid out in a way that s just for all the world to see in a way that is embarrassing and lives are on the line. i think condoleezza rice piece in the washington post and that interview on fox & friends was so gripping i think we should play it again because in its entirety because it just gives you that personal sense of despair of figuring out how you are going to get to the airport. dana: and asking president biden to help them because they helped us. and i think that s what has real gets to the heart of this. for a lot of people trying to come here not just because anybody under the sun who wants the leave the country. these are people who helped either our forces or contractors, interpreters and security guards. haroon, the young man you are
