the overnight period. in just the you know, you can understand how desperate they are to get out of afghanistan. and that is why apparently, the marines had to fire warning shots above hundreds of people. there was a c-17 transport plane where they opened the door upon landing and hundreds of people ran towards the plane because that is their only exit to freedom. absolutely. brian: because of the incompetence of this administration. they didn t plan to protect americans let alone the afghans that allied with us. they didn t expect this. the a.p. is reporting that joe biden and his aides were stunned on sunday, shocked that this was taking place. really? then he puts out a statement blaming trump and his officials for giving him bad information. steve: this is one of the latest images. there you can see one of these transport planes it has just landed. they are so desperate to get on
not just u.s. personnel. and the best bet for almost all of them is that airport. there have been reports of sporadic gunfire at the airport this morning. we are looking into those. there have also been reports that some of that gunfire was generated by u.s. troops firing warning shots into the air to disperse crowds that had gathered on the tarmac. what is clear is that it has absolute mayhem this exexit to the door has caught u.s. and allies off guard. taliban already in control of kabul much the country. evacuate personnel if needed before the taliban enters of the capital. that is not going to happen. they arrived yesterday. taliban are already in the presidential palace which the now former president of afghanistan fled yesterday. and our r. clearly seeking to project calm. promising an inclusive
on to be critical of president biden? well, brian, as i said, there is a difference between the decision to withdrawal and how this decision was skewed. the last three presidents have all wanted to get out of afghanistan. i understand the sentiment. buff the consequences of that withdrawal are now being played out on tv. the ill planned and disorganized chaotic withdrawal that joe biden oversaw is going to be catastrophic for america for years to come. look, he has announced his decision at the height of the fighting season. he wanted it all troops out by september 11th a politically symbolic date to be sure but a tactically dangerous one. that is when the taliban traditionally is reaching peek fighting season. all he had to do was wait few more month to get into winter month and much more orderly transition and time to get all of these citizens out of afghanistan. as it is now we have americans stuck behind enemy lines in afghanistan with no clear way to get out of the country. br
roberts. when i graduated from navy seal training we had our arms over each other s shoulders, it s very personal to me. i have actually held one of my friend s hands as he was dying in a tent in bag gram listening over a satellite phone as his wife cried because she knew she was never going to see her husband alive again. i want to talk to every person who served in afghanistan. i want you to know your service wasn t wasted. we have seen. so greatest aspects of the greatest condition, bravery, honor, courage. we have seen selfless sacrifice for people. so, if you went to average and you served, i want you to hold your head up high. don t worry about what these politicians did. i m going to go to d.c. and fix that in congress. but you guys take pride in your service because have you earned it. so thank you very much for everybody that went to afghanistan and i wish you just the best. this too will pass. brian: i hear you, derek, joey? yeah, i mean, i don t know
it. get in it. so that as soon as it can just go to the end of the runway, turn around and they can get in and comply to safety and live. ainsley: desperate exodus. steve look at that remember joe biden taliban takeover evident tillable? no you have 300,000 well-equipped afghanistan troops. and air force against the 75,000 taliban. he was asked do you trust the taliban he? said that s a silly question i don t. trust the taliban but the military better trained and better equipped. five weeks ago. steve: the president has said you are not going to see people evacuated off the roof of an embassy. you look at that image right there. that is just as bad as what happened in saigon in 1975. where you see a trail of people going to the top deck of the embassy to try to get on one of those huey helicopters. brian: two years later. think about this. he pulls troops out in the beginning of fighting season. if he did the same thing in the fall, they would have had four
