helicopters have rescued 169 americans from a hotel outside the airport in kabul. this comes hours after president biden claimed americans were not having issues getting through the taliban blockade. we have no indication that they haven t been able to get in kabul through the airport. we have made an agreement with the taliban thus far. shannon: other parts of the biden administration have conceded that does not line up with the reality for some on the ground, as the white house admits it is unsure how many americans are in need of evacuation from afghanistan, and the pentagon corrects the commander in chief on his claims that al qaeda is gone, and the u.s. will be able to monitor the terror threat to americans from afar. look, let s put this thing in perspective here. what interest do we have in afghanistan at this point, with al qaeda gone? al qaeda is a presence, as well as isis, in afghanistan. and we have talked about that
brother. we love to see the fowl and canine get-togethers here. it is off the chart, we love it. we want to see videos and ones you think arer. let us know, @shannonbream or @foxnewsnight. breaking tonight, the supreme court getting involved in a fight over border policy. a federal court had ordered the biden administration to reinstate these remain in mexico policy used for asylum-seekers at the border under the trump administration, so the doj now under the biden administration went to the supreme court with an emergency request to stop that. tonight, and the nation s highest court in a short time ago put that lower court ruling on hold, but only until late tuesday night, justice alito issued to mike s order indicating the pause was needed in order to let the full-court weigh in and for the other sidey
been there to begin with, but what i can say with absolute authority is we have a moral obligation, not only to rescue our citizens, yes, but also to do everything we can to protect these afghan christians. look, i know that america can t do everything in the world, but we can do some things, and protecting the small group of believers is a basic value of america, and it s something we need and should do. shannon: well, and derrick, i m talking with military folks on the ground who are desperately trying to get people out. they say they are aware of arrangements and in contact with people that are civilian flights, private flights and charters that will come in and get people. they cannot get air clearance from the state department. they say the administration seems to be completely disorganized on this, but there are private actors who want to go in and help as much as they possibly can. any way to resolve that at this point, other than publicly to the state department, what are you
what we believe is, there isn t a presence that is significant enough to merit a threat to our homeland as there was back on 9/11 20 years ago. tucker: that s the opposite of what biden said. here you have the top spokesman for the most powerful agency informing us that the president of the united states has no idea what is talking about. you don t see that every day, in fact you never see it. but it s not just a biden sm employees that appear to be turning on him in public. so are his key allies, the liberals who use their own republican party for decades are now attacking joe biden openly and very aggressively and that didn t take long. but most telling of all is this. it s from cnn. watch. it is just an absolute mess and we heard president biden say yesterday in his comments to
for quite some time. we do not believe it is exorbitantly high, but we don t have an exact figure. the threat from terrorism has metastasized. there s a greater danger from isis and al qaeda and all these affiliates in other countries, by far, then there is from afghanistan. and we are going to retain the rising capability that they were going to come back to be able t, surgically removed. our ability, our intelligence gathering ability in afghanistan isn t what it used to be because we aren t there, with the same numbers that we used to be. shannon: president biden also pushing back against claims that america s credibility has been diminished. just days after british prime minister boris johnson admitted the u.s. pullout left u.k. and nato forces with no choice but to do the same. leading a member of parliament to call the commander in chief shameful. i have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world to. the fact of the matter is, i have not seen tha
