i am more worried about the american people as a whole if they will forget about this. we have a responsibility as americans to demand that we fix this. trace: you have been to afghanistan after your husband died. you have been there 6 times and grown to love the afghan people. as you watch what is unfolding, what does that do to you? i woke up today completely defeated. i have been trying to process it. i don t think there is any way to process it. it feels like another funeral. this is more emotions than i ever dealt with in my life and that s saying something for someone whose loved ones was killed in the war.
there are checkpoints with the taliban is stopping people.r in. you have heard shelter in place? there are checkpoints with the taliban is stopping people. did you see the taliban at the checkpoints? exactly. the day before yesterday, i went to the embassy. i thought it was open before i get the email. i saw the taliban sitting there. when i saw them, i didn t have the courage to ask them i want to go in the embassy. i knew with the americans gone. i left. when i went to the airport what i saw was all the checkpoints. they ask where are you going? going to the airport? no. where are you going? and stuff like that. they don t let people get closer to the gate. no one wants to say i am an american and i want to go in.
for my safety and my family s safety, we don t have an embassy anymore. i am trying to get my family out of here. my parents father-in-law worked for americans for 9 years. all of that security is gone. they don t deserve to stay in afghanistan and deal with the taliban. everyone wants to get out of here as soon as possible. we have shown video of the taliban yelling death to america! how do they respond to you when you tell them you are an american? i am sure you are fearful? i don t think anyone can say that. you can t say it? no. [audio breaking up]. i won t say i am going in because i am an american. there is no way. [audio breaking up].
trace: the white house is asking afghans to trust the taliban to get them out. what trey gowdy said. for our plan to be contingent upon the taliban doing the right thing, the group that stones women who have been raped, that s who we are depending on to do the right thing? that s not much of a plan. trace: if you were visiting over there would you advise americans to do? you know the country? with everything i know on the ground, i am actively helping people as well. they have to listen to the government and the taliban is the government over there. i am not saying they are legitimate. i am worried about our troops on the ground. say a pray for them. many have deployed multiple times and this is breaking their heart in more pieces than we can imagine. trace: one gold star husband
on the east side of the airport. there is a lot of people. it s really hard to get in. trace: you can imagine. catch that interview in the next hour of america reports. sandra, you can imagine being in kandahar and 10 hours from kabul and you have to through multiple checkpoints. sandra: there was no evacuation plan outside of cable. president biden s own words are played against him.kabul. president biden s own words are played against him. he was asked do you trust the taliban? no. why are we relying on the taliban to get these americans out of there.
