see these interpreters put their lives on the line, that s and if you check out your background checks out, you and your family should stay. those are the type of americans we need, first generations that want to be here. bret baier is reporting this at this hour from a former senior defense official in contact with commanders on the field in cab bull they have a ring outside of the airport and won t let anyone inside. the 82nd airborne is securing the airport. the big issue here is that no people outside of the taliban ring will get. in no way they can get 30,000. not even close. getting anyone outside of the taliban ring from the safe passage needed to get to an airplane is going to be a real challenge. now the challenge is mr. biden you don t want to put anybody else in arlington? have you thought about this? are we going to let americans in that country tri outside of kabul just die because you were tired of the war and wouldn t listen to your experts? now, when the people outsid
