look, i m struggling trying to get folks at the front door trying to get through let alone folks from kandahar to come to kabul and getting through the gate. this is how terrible this entire process is. brian: pete, i guess we have to go, to see the president cold heartedly say it s over. done in a week got to run. ainsley: 20 years of pete s service and saboor s service and one week the taliban is back. i don t know how he didn t anticipate this. pete: betrayal. that s what it is. thank you. steve: yeah, saboor. thank you, guys. steve: good luck to you and your family. good job getting him out. listen, i want to express my gratitude to the team. to the americans, to the veterans who did so much in keeping my family anywhere prayers. pete: so many people s names who we can t say right now who did so much more who didn t sleep, who broke protocol. who made connections. figured out how to get it done. unbelievable. brian: all right. guys, thanks so much. ainsley: heroes, you both are
tell us what your finance is going through. 16 hours. he tried again. he is at the airport right now. the gates are closed. there is tear gas he called me 15 minutes ago telling knee there is a group of people near the airport telling them if you pay $2,000 we will take you to the gate and allow you inside the gate. which is absolutely false. that s not how it is. so, he is still there but gates are all closed. ainsley: is he standing on one side of the gate and it s barbed wire gate and the planes are on the other side. the runway is on the other side? yes. ainsley: how are they determine hog gets to go through the gate? i don t know at this point it should be u.s. citizens, green card holders, sav cases and immigrant visas, which he does have. he does have a pass to the
reconciliation package no one believes should pass and salutes nancy pelosi who had a fundraiser over the weekend rather than look at this catastrophe. ainsley: all he talked about from the beginning of it was infrastructure. brian: it s unbelievable. then he goes into this. pulling out on the august 3 st date. opportunity to know about the human cost? do you want to know about americans being trapped? you don t have to look at antic doghts evidence or hearing from eyewitnesses. how about the people themselves? this man escaped from afghanistan last week. listen to what he told sean. that u.s. soldier took my hand, pulled me from the gate and my father pushed me from the back and i jump into the airport and i find my way to come back home. it was really hard, really tough. and you cannot even imagine how hard that i can escape that situation. there was a lot of gunfire.
