alex plitsas, thank you for your time. thinks for having me. mike: folks from knoxville, tennessee, to fairfax, virginia, lighting up thursday during heavy rain to honor the perception of the casket of a fallen u.s. army staff sergeant, 1 of 13 service members killed in the terrorist attack on the kabul airport in afghanistan last month. knaus will be buried in arlington national cemetery next tuesday. a lawsuit over flavored tortilla chips under the limelight. night court convenes next. very nice, very nice. land o frost premium. fresh look. same great taste.
things are going to head for americans left in afghanistan. what happened to the interpreters who are not u.s. citizens or green card holders is unknown at this point. that s what we are all kind of waiting for guidance on. mike: how difficult are these operations involving veterans? can you tell us about some of the success stories? we have been pretty fortunate. up until august 31st we were supporting the official operation to evacuate citizens. i can tell you for the organization i ve been working with, in the days afterwards, we were able to transit about 6,000 people to the airport. a thousand were americans. assist those folks getting there. there were people who remained behind and it s extremely difficult. a lot is being conducted remotely to support them and make sure they re safe as long as the remaining country. at this point we are waiting for
afghanistan. interpreter: they are calling for a new war and causing more chaos. the taliban claims the u.s. is violating the agreement signed in qatar by blacklisting their members. haqqani declined to discuss flights out of afghanistan for dozens of americans and thousands of afghan special immigrant visa applicants and recipients trapped here. we spoke to a former translator for the american military who says he fears those who helped foreigners during the war will be hunted by men like haqqani. his face was covered and fox is withholding his name over concerns he could be targeted for speaking out. i would give a message to biden. we are the real heroes. do not leave behind the real heroes. we worked shoulder by shoulder with your government. if they are not evacuated from this country. the taliban claimed it would give everyone amnesty who work
in the days leading up to the completing the withdrawal, we saw the islamic state affiliate in afghanistan was able to successfully conduct complex suicide attacks. a second vehicle was targeted afterwards. we saw bin laden s former head of security role back into his home village, rolling down the window and taking selfies and high-fiving people. al qaeda and isis are both active in afghanistan. we have a bunch of americans who are stuck. the prospect of something happening to them is very real. there is a great cause for concern. why we decided to come lately withdraw and not leave a stay behind counterterrorism force which my understanding was the recommendation and yet we are doing so in iraq. one of the reasons for doing so are largely the same. it doesn t make sense. mike: strategic interests.
steam from the great state of new jersey, i was happy to see jersey get some love. i was also surprised to see that they were mostly cold weather states that they say are the happiest. i found that interesting and i think a couple things that probably struck me. when i saw that, number one, the cost of housing is pretty mild on the upper midwest. some of the other colder places, you get your family and friends and you stick around and you get closer that way. a lot of these other places that are warm and transient, maybe not so much. i would say also i was surprised colorado didn t make it, being a colorado guy. it s a pretty happy state. maybe next year. mike: take a road trip to minnesota. kevin, see you later. how the president s withdrawal afghanistan may lead to the rise of the haqqani terror network. that s next. in adults with active psoriatic arthritis.
