now is the time to demand accountability. and tonight, we are going to do that. we have a great lineup of guests. men served in afghanistan, men who know how the struggle for our men and women in uniform goes on a daily basis. they are not just talking about it, they did it. joining me for star three house lawmakers who served in afghanistan, florida congressman mike waltz, a green beret, brian mast, a bomb disposal expert, and tennessee congressman mark green, special ops. congressman waltz, let s start with you. was this this is kind of a gimme question, was this all avoidable today, and if so, why have we not seen any resignations? laura, it is worth noting the same team that is around the same team that is around biden is the same team that was around obama. right? the same ones that were
responsible for benghazi, responsible for the rise of isis, that were responsible for the bird-dog trade, have now created this mess, and biden was there, too, and here s where we are. now he has is any position, because he pulled out too fast, too soon, let the afghan army collapse, took no action when it was happening, shut down our main airbase, now we have this false choice of either stay and continue to suffer attacks in an indefensible position in kabul airport, or go and leave americans behind and create the largest mass hostage situation in american history. it ll make 1979 look like child s play. that is what this team and that is where biden has gotten us, on top of laura: congress congressman mast, i want to go to you here. what i was stunned by, the 5,000
