used military translators, and others who work side-by-side with americans during the 20-year war. the pentagon is saying watch. the intention to get every american out who wants to be as many as i.v. or sib or as many afghans as possible? as many americans who want to leave that we can get as fast as possible, as many of our siv applicants. as many vulnerable afghans that we can also work towards getting. emily: we are also curing other unsettling stories about the evacuation efforts. a leaked e-mail in reads in part, the afghans are housed in a living hell. trash, urine, frequent matter, and vomit cover the floors
leave an american behind. that was a lie. a malicious lie because now he is saying he is committed to this august 31st deadline. i see this reporting. another piece of that reporting was that he has a contingency plan in place in case we need to state there. one is the last time you heard contingency plan? okay he had a contingency plan in the event the taliban took over. that ended up with americans stranded outside of kabul. rest assured, he has a contingency plan should we go beyond august 31st. this is an absolute joke. and they are dictating terms under president trump, this would have never have happened. he would have had a competent plan. but you simply do not have a commander-in-chief who is in control here. and americans will be left behind and left for dead as are looking said. harris: what i hear you saying, too, but i didn t april said that, well, in that again
to conduct military operations. what happens in afghanistan does not stay in afghanistan and it will spread like a cancer which goes to congressman banks point. they have more like oxen 85% of the countries. that means al qaeda and isis-k will now have access to those at the 200 planes and helicopters in the $85 billion worth of the american military equipment as representative mike mccall called this, an unmitigated disaster it with the most striking part being that they have all unequivocally stated there is no way to get those americans out safely. harris: yeah, we got quite an enumeration of things that are on the ground more blackhawk helicopters than 80% of the countries in that world. what happened to equipment, pete hegseth? we should be destroying all of it. and to include the harris: from the airport.

been very clear that we are not leaving americans who want to return home. we are going to bring them home. and i think that is important for the american people to understand. harris: oh, did you catch it? it is always in the details. americans who want to come home. how many thousands of americans who want to stay in the hell? anyway, that does not match of the sentiment on the ground, which jen psaki was saying watch this mom and american government worker who says she fears of her life and couple. we can t get to the airport. when we try to get to the airport, we get or we are afraid for our our lives. our lives are in extreme danger and i don t know how long it is going to continue. they are going to people s homes at night and they are just taking them away and nobody knows where they are taking them, what they are doing to
