Of afghanistan. The politics of our presence have always been deceptive and messy. The exit is too. Heres the reality. Trump made a rash deal with the taliban to leave by May 1st of this year. Biden agreed and had it go bad on his watch. Here is how the current president explains the state of play. It would have taken a significant american troop presence, multiple times greater than what President Biden was handed, to stop a taliban onslaught. But the afghan government and its supporters, including many of the people now seeking to leave made a passionate case that we should not conduct a massive evacuation unless we trigger a loss of confidence in the government. What you can do is plan for all contingencies. We did that. When a Civil War comes to an end with an opposing Force Marching on the capital, there are going to be scenes of chaos. Do you agree with that assessment . It doesnt really matter. Thats politics, okay . What matters is how we do what we need to do right now. Lawmakers who want to dwell on who is bad when we have something worse staring us in the face, that shouldnt be okay with you. 11,000 americans have to be brought home. Thats the damn job. Thats what they should be shouting about. Should it have happened first . Absolutely. But can you make it happen now . Can biden do it . Are both sides of the aisle on board with keeping this Countrys Word to upwards of 60,000 folks and their families who literally risked their lives for america. This is not hyperbole, okay . When people work with the u. S. In that region against the taliban or Al Qaeda or isis, they are as good as dead if theyre not protected. And thats what theyre told. Well protect you. So Will Trumpers play the immigration gave with these people . Will they win over the right side of the aisle . For people who risked their lives for this country . Heres the latest, the White House says our military has restored order at the Kabul Airport and is successfully evacuating u. S. Citizens along with afghans who have helped us and other vulnerable afghan citizens. I dont know what that means. They have to explain the last part. Heres what should matter to us. U. S. Military flights evacuated approximately 1,100 u. S. Citizens and their families on 13 flights today. These are big planes. Thats not full freight on each plane. A total of 3,200 so far have made it out including our personnel, according to the White House. Why am i playing with the math . Because it matters. The taliban only agreed to give free passage until august 31st. If thats the rate that youre taking people out at, 14 days from today may not be enough time. Listen to the general. Right now were looking at one aircraft per hour in and out of the airport. It could look like 5,000 to 9,000 passengers departing per day. Look, if you can do 9,000 a day for 14 days, you should be fine. But thats like optimal capacity and what if things change on the ground . The general said that too. Well, the taliban could change their mind. No kidding. These are the people . Two weeks away and theyve only evacuated 1,300 . The math is a concern, but the people you made the deal with concerns even more. Okay . The taliban have no reason to keep their word to the united states. Theyre afraid that well bomb them. Thats what they live for is to fight In The Name Of their faith. Thats what it is for them. Thats not fear. That is fuel for their zealousness. If we only control the airfield in kabul, which is what the White House says, and there are only 1,300 on flights. Now you have some concerns. What if youre coming from Somewhere Else . How do you get to kabul . How do you get through the checkpoints. The l. A. Times is reporting that the taliban is injuring, hurting people at checkpoints. And then theres this push, we got to get them out of afghanistan and get them to the united states. Why . If its a Processing Issue to try to figure out who these people are and assuage some of the fears about who youre letting into the country, take them Somewhere Else. There are a lot of friendlies in the region where you can get them out of afghanistan and away from the taliban. What happens when the 31st comes and goes . What if americans families are still stuck in there with the taliban on top of them . Then what . White house was evasive on that question. You know why . Because they dont know. And thats why lawmakers should be focused on making this right. How to do it, what are the assets, getting the political will to get these people here. The threat to people who help america is a very scary aspect of this exit. Youre going to hear tonight from a hero, afghan interpreter. He worked with our military and is very scared for his family who are still stuck there. You will hear from him, what happens to people like him and his family. Listen to what he says he was told by americans when they asked him to work for them. If youre worried about failure, if Americas Word means nothing, if with the region and the world watching, you leave people to be dealt with by the taliban, that is failure. Were also not just going to play on the do it, do it, do it, how . Were going to look at what it takes to get this done. We have one of the people behind this iconic photo of the kabul exodus. Theres a story behind this photo you havent heard yet. Youll hear it tonight. I know its about blame, failure, not a failure, biden this. Theres plenty to go around. Okay . This happened on the watches of four u. S. President s. All of them told you or suggested or implied we were trying to make afghanistan a better place. It was never he was the chief Counterterror Adviser on the national security council. Richard clark is a veteran of multiple administrations and he is indeed a better mind on afghanistan. Welcome to prime time, sir. Good to see you, chris. Whats your take on the exit . Well, its a mess. It was going to be a mess. But i didnt have to be this bad. The White House can say they planned for every contingency, but the evidence seems to be the opposite. If they planned for it, why is it going so poorly . You just did the math on getting people out. Were not going to get them all out. Thats just it. We control the airport, we dont control anything else. And so if the taliban want to keep some of our people or block them from getting to the airport, theyre not going to get out. As concerning to me is the fact that they released 5,000 terrorist prisoners. Al qaeda members, Isis Members who were in prison at Bagram Air base. They were released by the taliban. Our whole point of going in there in the first place 20 years ago was to stop afghanistan from being a base for Al Qaeda and now theyve released Al Qaeda members. And we really have no way of knowing if Al Qaeda organizes again. The president said were focusing on the Terrorist Threat with a laser. Thats nice. The Cia Director was a bit more frank last month when he told the senate, once were out, were not going to know as much about whats going on in afghanistan. And so Al Qaeda, isis, others can reform, the taliban can help them do so. A, we may not know it. B, theres not much we can do about it. What was the right answer . I know youre an intel guy. What was the right answer . You have six to seven out of ten americans say, get us out. Its a hell hole. Weve had 20 years without a major terror attack, enough. What was the way to balance the want to get out and the need to have a presence to stay safe . Bidens decision was the right decision at the strategic level. He handed it off to his principles and they blew it. Its all a matter of implementation here. I remember when Jimmy Carter tried to rescue the hostages in iran, that turned into a fiasco. The Secretary Of State resigned the next day. I remember Black Hawk down in somalia. The secretary of defense resigned two days later. Chris, there has to be accountability here. Although the president made the right call, his people just arent up to implementing it. They screwed this up. Lets just assume that for a second. I know ill get all kinds of Phone Calls about how angry they are i said that. You made a mistake, you got to be gone. Why not have them fix it . Cant they have a presence in either at that base where they say, were staying here, were going to keep fill in the number of where someone a big brain like you says this is how many we need to keep eyes on the ground there. If they dont like it, they can go to war with us and the taliban wont do it. Chris, its very hard to maintain a base in the middle of a landlocked country. We need fuel at that base. Its very hard to fly it in. Theres not a lot we can do inside afghanistan anymore. Any Counterterrorism Work we do will have to originate outside afghanistan, perhaps on the ships at sea. Again, as we were forced to do in the 1990s. Why should someone resign now . Why should there be accountability . Because i believe in government accountability. I believe when you screw up at a high level in government, you should at least say that you did. You should at least offer to resign. I dont know, maybe some people have. But this didnt have to be this bad. We could have started moving people out months ago. We could have continued to have Air Power to give the afghan army some spine for a little while. None of that happened. How much spine were they going to have sorry to interrupt you, brother. How much spine could you expect the afghan forces to have when you were negotiating directly with the taliban. Now that theyre so superempowered, what can we expect the taliban to do next . Were going to watch to see if they let Al Qaeda and isis create camps, Terrorist Training Camps again. But i think the application of Air Power during all of this would have given some of the people involved some spine and might have allowed the government to hang on to kabul for a while. But if youre out there, jalalabad, and youre surrounded and you have no air cover, youre running out of ammunition, running out of food, you have no medevac capability, and you havent been paid in months, and the taliban come along and say, just surrender and we wont do anything to you, of course youre going to surrender. The afghans lost Tens Of Thousands of people in their army. They did fight. They fought for years and they lost Tens Of Thousands of their troops fighting. But no one in their right mind would fight under these circumstances. So does this mean that the taliban is now going to be seen driving around in all this americanpaid, heavy Military Equipment . Maybe Fighter Jets or something like that . No. For the most part, the heavy equipment and the few airplanes that they had will stop working because we wont provide supplies and contractors. A lot of the airplanes, actually, flew out to uzbekistan. So, no, theyre not going to be flying around in our planes or if so, not for very long. But they are going to have a lot of weapons and its going to be very difficult to ever get them out of power. Last thing, if we dont get the families and the people who worked with the u. S. Troops out of that country, what are going to happen to those afghanistan people . Well, we dont know. The worst thing is, they could go to Reeducation Camps or they could be killed. That happened in vietnam. They were forced to go to Reeducation Camps. The thing that we have to remember is the whole world is catching. The koreans are watching, the germans are watching. People who count on us. The israelis, people in taiwan and our enemies in moscow and beijing. Theyre watching. And this doesnt look good for us. If you dont keep your word to these people, the entire world is watching. Thats failure. Richard clark, thank you so much for the clear eyes. Appreciate it. Thank you. Its not numbers. Its people, its families, its dreams and i want to introduce you to one of the people that were talking about. Okay . He volunteered to keep the united states troops safe as an interpreter. Very, very important. They do a lot more than just language. His family is trapped in afghanistan. Some of his relatives wont even have a chance to leave for days. He is scared. I want you to hear why hes scared and what he was told and what this will mean for him and his family. Next. Think wearing less makeup means no need for a wipe . Think again.

The world is watching right now. America promised Men And Women their families, if you help us, i know its like a death sentence. Dont worry, well protect you. The Concern And Fear that we see expressed by u. S. Service members and veterans extends far beyond themselves and their american Brothers And Sisters in arms. They are worried about the thousands of afghan interpreters and other staff who worked beside them. What will happen to them . Retribution is a light word for what the taliban has done in the past. Yes, they have made a pledge of blanket amnesty. These people are not known for mercy. Hope for some is so dim that they are planning their goodbyes. Watch this. I have veterans are calling me, messaging me, telling me about theyre getting contacted by our afghan allies but also about theyre getting contacted by our afghan allies, but also were getting goodbye notes. Afghans believe that theyre about to die. I want to introduce you to a former interpreter for the u. S. Military. He is scared. Former line of Work And Service to our country may have put his family even further into Harms Way. Were going to call him sam. Tell us why you helped american troops . Well, first of all, working with the u. S. Military and army was to help in my own country which at that time there was very little people knowing english at that time. And second of all, they promised us to save our life as soon as or whenever they left the country. That was the promise which never made for some of the people. Why was one of the person, people to be lucky enough to get out of the country and i have still my family in a Grave Threat of retribution from these socalled taliban terrorists. So you were able to get out of the country. Were you told that your family would be able to get out also . Yeah. I heard such a thing when i was working with the military. They told us, if you can, take your family right now with you as soon as you became a u. S. Citizen, you can easily sponsor all of them. Right now, im an american citizen but there is no way for me to evacuate my family immediately which they are in a great risk right now. Why is there no way to get them out . Because there is a rush and a system to the u. S. Embassy and there is no embassy active right now. Whoever im calling to get help for this matter, nobody answers. I keep sending emails different people, Nobody Respond to me back. And i dont know what to do. I even reached out to my senator here and then they referred me to the links and lawyers and stuff like that, which is hard. It takes years to just get them out of the country. But right now, the time is running out. There is not much time left for wait that long. Is your Family Thinking about trying to get to the airport in kabul . Is that an option . Well, no. Not right now. Because most of the country well, now, all of the country is controlled by the taliban. My family live up north. When they go to the kabul, they have to pass through the provinces that heavily controlled by the taliban. And thats not safe enough to do that. Thats even dangerous than staying at home. What do you want people to know about what you believe the taliban is capable of if they find your family and they find out that a member of the family helped the united states. Well, they just announced national amnesty. But we all know, theyre not standing by their words. Whatever decision passed, they did not stand by words. Now, in my neighborhood, im getting calls from my people and friends and theyre saying, like, they are actively looking in the village counting how many people in that house are how many people used to work for the military or supporting foreigners. How many woman in the house, married and unmarried. There are reports from the people that i communicate with, theyre saying they are trying to find those womans and trying to marry them for their jihadi fighters or taliban terrorists, which is just not acceptable for us afghans. We are people of over there, people are very restrictive about being dealing with the womans and the stuff. But things like that could just even take things to a very different level if they force people to marry with their fighters and stuff. What is the hardest thing for you, sam . What is the hardest thing for you in dealing with this emotionally about your family and what it means that america promised you . The hardest thing for me is, i feel like we were abandoned. I have a brother, my older brother, he worked over a decade with the german forces. Right now hes in kabul. Somehow he arrived in kabul. Took all of those risks. He has his visas and passport in his pocket. But he cannot catch no flight. No flights are leaving kabul going to germany. Its all military flights. There were one or two commercial flights, but those were all mostly charter flights for foreigners. Its heartbreaking for me. Hes there and all of those checkpoints are controlled by the taliban surrounding the airport, not inside the airport. And then whoever can get closer to the airport, they have to pat them down, search them for anything. If they find out he was working with the military or foreigners and has the Visa And Passport in his pocket, thats just a legitimate target for them. So they could just they Cant Sleep at night just like that. He has another week to live. Whats going to happen that week . Sam, were going to stay in touch. Youre going to have my number. Tell me which way youre trying, who youre talking to and well help. I appreciate you telling your story to the american people so they know what is at stake. Definitely. Im glad to talk about this. Thank you, you guys, for covering such a chaotic situation in afghanistan which not many people are covering it. Im glad you covered it and help me talk about this stuff. Thank you very much, chris. Thats the job and we owe you. Thank you for what you did for this country. Ill talk to you soon. Look, you hear Sams Story about his brother, his family, his desperation all over the place. The taliban is not dealing with some sovereign theyre not just like a fringe political group. These people have a history of very, very horrible actions. Thats why these people are running for their lives in athat made this Photo Part of our history. Crammed onto that u. S. Air force jet, little but that their clothes.

Youve seen the image thats driving home the reality of the challenge in afghanistan. 640 terrified people packed on board an american c17. A decision made in the moment by a Skeleton Crew of airmen. They were not supposed to do this. When you hear the Air TrafficControllers Side of the conversation obtained by Defense One, they didnt take time to count. They just knew they had to help. How many people do you think are on your jet . 800 people on your jet . Holy cow. The 800 was apparently an overestimation in the chaos. The Crews Decision to help is one of the few things that left, right and reasonable can agree on. I hope theres awards that are going to go to the crew of that c17. They violated basically every Air Force regulation in packing that many people in there and in the long run, thats going to end up saving a lot of peoples lives. Look, the problem is not overpacked flight. If anything was done to those pilot, Thats Someone who should be held to account. The pepntagon is saying theyre hoping to put 300 people on each plane. The story was broken of the packed flight, the senior Pentagon Reporter for Defense One and joins me now. Thank you very much for sharing the image and telling the story. What should people know . Chris, thank you so much for having us on. This photo was taken late Sunday Night and just for All Of Us, this has been fastmoving, just to put it in context. That was the day that the flag came down at the embassy, panic had started to set in and this air crew, the Skeleton Crew, fewer than five, their c17 was on the ground as part of the initial wave as the military was thinking that this might be an orderly Withdrawal And Evacuation which quickly spiraled out of control. The crews c17, the Call Sign reached 871 out of dover Air Force base, their Back Door was partly open. And a crowd of afghans started to crowd the Airplane And Load themselves on, pull themselves up and pull others up. And this small crew had to make a quick decision. Did they follow the regulations and tell the afghans dont board the plane. As your previous this is against regulations. Nothing about this was normal. And instead, they made a decision as a crew to load up as many people as they could and take off as quickly as they could. Its a very, very different situation. These aircraft, as you mentioned, normally can carry about 300 when theres a Seat Or Bench configuration. And what they did here, they had everyone sit on the floor in a floor loading configuration. The only time ive seen this happen was in 2013 in a typhoon rescue. But even then, it was more orderly where there were Cargo Straps so everyone could hold on to the Cargo Straps. This is everyone taking every available space they could. Once they had their full load, they took off and just what i have learned since my initial story came out, the crew decided to sort this out in the air. That aircraft, the destination was qatar, and the country did not anticipate that many evacuees landing either. It was a complete Judgment Crew by the crew to save lives. They were keeping their principles if not the regs intact. Please tell me theres no word that anything is being done to the crew. Nothing is being done to the crew. Theres no investigation. In my followups, what i have learned is that this crew has its been determined that they followed the Commanders Intent which is to save lives, get the afghans out of Harms Way and thats exactly what the crew did. And that crew is actually back flying evacuation missions. Tara cobb, thank you so much, for the story, for the coverage and the truth. I appreciate you. Thank you. We got to be like that flight crew. Everybody who has any kind of Power Or Agency where this mission is involved, you have to be like that crew. Because thats how you keep your promise. Now, to the fight at home, one of the main faces of the resistance to measures that can help get this pandemic under control just tested positive for covid himself, the governor of texas.

[tv announcer] come on down to our Appliance Superstore where weve got the best deals on refrigerators, microwaves, Gas Ranges and grills. And if youre looking for. Sorry to report that Texas Governor Greg abbott has tested positive for covid. Dont want to see anybody getting sick for this and i really hope nobody out there sees it any differently to be honest. No symptoms as far as were told. Thats likely because he has been vaccinated. Take a listen. I have received the Covid19 Vaccine and that may be one reason why im really not feeling any symptoms right now. I have no fever, no aches and pains, no other types of symptoms. Thank god. I hope it stays like that. I hope the only change he feels is in what he wants to tell people about masks. Because he was in this jampacked maskless event Last Night where a lot of people may not have been vaccinated. Im not saying he obviously didnt get covid Last Night. I dont think you can build up enough load that fast. But lets get after what this means for the governor and for us going forward with former biden White HouseSenior Adviser for covid response. Andy, thank you so much for joining us. Great to be here, chris. What do you make of the news that Governor Abbott of texas has tested positive for covid in a breakthrough infection, meaning hes fully vaccinated . Well, its unfortunate and i hope hes okay. I understand hes getting Monoclonal Antibodies which, you know, should not be just reserved for important and famous people. And lets hope he takes heed. Thank god he got vaccinated. If he had gotten this infection without having gotten vaccinated given his other medical condition, i would be very worried for him. Now, do you believe this sends a message that people should think more about wearing masks and about being careful, even if vaccinated . Yeah, i think theres no question. Hopefully hell come back and have A Change Of Heart and believe that too. It really is we have the kind of protection with this virus now with delta which reacts so quickly and brings such a high viral load that our bcells and tcells are able to mount a response to protect us, but sometimes that Response Isnt quick enough. To way to prevent that from happening is to wear a Face Covering and kids in texas in schools should be no exception. Third booster. Let me play you some sound that adds to the confusion about this issue. You do not need a booster shot. Right now they are certain that no americans need boosters. We dont need boosters right now for otherwise healthy people who have been vaccinated. But it is entirely conceivable, if not likely, that were going to at some time. Its likely that boosters will be needed for a broader segment of the population. What were trying to figure out right now is the right timing. Criticism. You guys should have just said nothing until you knew we needed them. No, not yet, no not yet. Then when you say you need them, people cast doubt. Now we need them. We Cant Trust these people, you dont know who youre talking about. Im not part of that administration. Look, theyre doing something smart, i think, which is theyve learned a lesson that you have to lay the groundwork when youre going to make a big change. And so what theyve done in the last couple weeks by saying, hey, were going to need them in the future. We might need them. It looks like were going to need them. At some point were going to need them. Its better than where theyve been criticized before which is coming out with a change without not making people aware that it was going to come. What i think theyre going to say tomorrow when they announce this is that we are getting ahead of the problem. We are trying to prevent the problem from becoming worse. Weve studied the data. Hopefully theyre going to share the data. Theyve told me theyre going to share the data which will tell people, hey, heres what were seeing and because were seeing this, heres what were recommending. And we should look long and hard at that. Two points of resistance. One, get this thing fdaapproved and tell me to put another shot in my arm. And the second one is, whoa, the problem is the unvaccinated. Its not the vaccinated who are spreading delta. This sounds like theyre trying to make money for big pharma. Dont put a third shot in any arm. Theres a couple of complex issues here. The reality is that, you know, my mother who is she will be very unhappy if i said her age on the air. Dont. She said to me today, you know, should i get a booster when one is ready . And, look, i think All Of Us individually want the maximum amount of protection and what a booster will do is it will prevent it will reduce the amount of time we get sick and it will reduce the amount of time we get the asymptomatic infections that we can spread. So theres a positive benefit for that. But if you but theres another important point which is that what the what we really need to do is we need to stop the proliferation of this virus. And the way we stop the proliferation of this virus is by vaccinating not just the unvaccinated in the u. S. , but the vaccinated unvaccinated around the globe. And so i really hope that we in the u. S. Commit to doing both saying, yes, were going to protect the people individually that may need some protection. But if we dont Vaccinate The Globe and quickly, then we will see the next generation after delta and the next wave and the next wave and that couldnt be more important. And so that is the u. S. As a global leader has to do both things. Last question. Ten countries are using 90 of the vaccine right now. That is not a good equation for stopping the spread of a pandemic. And all over this country, kids are going back to school. Almost all of them are not vaccinated. Too many of them are in households where somebody is not vaccinated. Isnt the reality that were going to be dealing with this pandemic for months and months to come . At least. Look, the job now is to do many things at once, vaccinated kids. Give final approval to the fda, get ready for booster shots, Vaccinate The Globe. All of those things have to be done. Now the u. S. Has taken the lead in vaccinating the globe. The u. S. Is paying for vaccines for the Southern Hemisphere of the world. The problem is, it just cant be done quick enough. Right now the g7 countries have said its going to take until the end of 2022 to get 70 of the globe vaccinated. And im afraid that if thats the reality, we will be dealing with this for a long, long time. If we can accelerate that, if we can deal with that, if we can Vaccinate The Globe during the first part of 2022, it will make an enormous difference and it will going to take u. S. Leadership, g7 leadership, cooperation with russia and china. Those are big priorities right now. One of the few times In My Life where Americas Message to the world will be, dont be like us. Get the vaccine as soon as you can. Andy, thank you very much for speaking reason. Thanks, chris. Well be right back. Americd and one we explore one thats been paved and one thats forever wild but freedom means you dont have to choose just one adventure you get both.

Harry is here to break down the numbers. Worst means what . How bad . Its bad and getting worse. Weve seen worse cases than we did a week ago, we see worse hospitalizations than we did a week ago. We see worse deaths than we did a week ago. Look at that. Nearly 17,000 people in the hospital right now.

New Covid Cases and schools just started last week. Over 3,000 new cases among students, over A Thousand among staff, nearly 15,000 in quarantine isolation. And this doesnt include Miami Dade or broward, the two largest School Ducts Istricts in that s and they havent even started yet. This is just a continuation of what weve spoken about previously where were seeing more and more cases and more and more hospitalizations among minors in the state of florida.

The idea of stopping them, very unpopular. Harry, i appreciate you going through the numbers with me.
