president was right yesterday 10% of americans are still in afghanistan? that s potentially a hostage crisis on a giant scale. we don t know what the taliban is going to do. they could say any american who wants to can leave. come to the airport. planes are coming in, etc. but there is also a possibility that at least one part of the taliban is in a very aggressive attitude. they have been out killing people. we ve seen this. they have begun to hunt down people who helped the americans. they have shot at least two police chiefs for having helped the americans. and so if they decide to go on a retribution cycle you will see a lot of people die in the next 3 to 6 months. so we just don t know how they are going to govern at this stage. they spent 20 years at war. they didn t spend 20 years preparing to take over the country and govern it.
expressing his outrage over president biden s handling of the afghanistan withdrawal. a poll shows the view is shared by a vast majority of americans of all political stripes. joining us now is democratic congressman from massachusetts, marine veteran who served in afghanistan. thank you for serving not only in congress but in theater as well. one of the reasons i think people are concerned are americans left behind including the sacramento bee reporting 24 sacramento area students are confirmed stranded there. any update how the administration plans to get them out? this add minus traition over the last month conducted the most sophisticated airlift in history. 120,000 people taken out over course of 30 days at tremendous risk to the u.s. military. persisting that military evacuation just created an incredible force protection issue as we saw with the terrorist attack last week.
reporter dana: cbs reporter said a lot of people in the room had noticed president biden seemed very angry. the question was who are you mad at? bill: think about that as you look at the poll numbers. they found 84% of all americans want to stay until all americans are out. 71% until all allied afghans are evacuated. look at the poll numbers in the white house. why do you come out with such a forceful defense as he did yesterday? look, i think he is i m guessing, but my guess is he is extremely angry. he saw himself as a heroic figure getting us out of a 20 year war and then it all went to pieces. the imagery of him at dover receiving the fallen bodies while looking at his watch was as devastating as anything
good and no one buys. people s money is stuck in the banks and no one has money to buy anything. the quick economic downturn comes as thousands continue to flee afghanistan on foot. there is a safety corridor for people who want to flee but the countries don t want a huge influx of refugees. the u.n. general half the population needs aid. a qatari plane landed in kabul. an indication but the turkish government and qatarys are getting the airport up and running and open the window to civilian flights and allow americans trapped to leave. dana: thank you. president biden: the american people should hear
a different picture. but despite that the president is trying to claim he actually didn t see it coming. president biden: that assumption that the afghan government would be able to hold on for a period of time beyond military drawdown turned out not to be accurate. president biden continues to blame the conditions on the ground in afghanistan that led to everything we ve seen in the last few months on donald trump. dana. dana: what do we know about the interpreter who once helped president biden when he was a senator and this interpreter remains in afghanistan? we know this interpreter known in a wall street journal piece at mohammed wants to come home but can t and he was part of a day that was so impactful on then senator biden that he has told the story of this day many, many times including here at the white house. president biden: lieutenant general richardson, who i might add i want to thank you for getting me off a mountain.
