In for erin burnett. Diplomats warned in july they believed the country could rapidly deteriorate and they feared a catastrophe after u. S. Troops pull out at the end of august. And tonight, there is Chaos And Dysfunction in afghanistan, as the u. S. Struggles to get Tens Of Thousands of people out of the country. Officials today saying over the past five days, just 7,000 people have been flown to safety. These are some we are showing you of the lucky ones. The afghans able to board a flight. But they represent just a fraction of the Tens Of Thousands whose lives are now in limbo. And as it stands tonight, we still dont know how many americans have left afghanistan, and how many remain. This is the u. S. , this is afghan. I do not have a breakdown. I suspect over time, as our Manifesting Process gets more refined, we may be able to be there. But we dont have that specific breakdown. How many american citizens remain in afghanistan . I dont know. Well, the 7,000 figure, at this point, im not in a position to break that down much further. The Defense Department, the State Department, up able to answer what are important questions, important because Joe Biden has said u. S. Troops will stay in afghanistan until all americans are out. Even if it is past the August 31st deadline. And in order to know when u. S. Troops can leave, you need to know how many americans are still in the country. Mean meanwhile, outside the airport gates, this is the scene captured by cnn. Rows and rows of men, women, and children, shoulder to shoulder, waiting. No idea what lies ahead. Make no mistake, it is a dangerous journey out of afghanistan. I want to warn you, the pictures youre about to see are graphic. Here you can see a child being carried, his head covered in blood. Another woman, wounded after taliban fighters turned on a crowd that was outside the airport. According to reuters, at least 12 people have been killed in the area. And today, Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby walked back comments he made about the taliban harassing americans. Heres what he said and his clarification. Theres been no hostile interactions between the taliban and our forces, or american citizens getting through. I Cant Saydy fintively that they arent stopping and or harassing people with u. S. Passports or visas. Obviously, we dont want to see that happen. We dont want to see anybody harassed, period. But he cant say, because kirby went on to say, the pentagon doesnt have quote unquote perfect visibility into what is taking place outside of the airport. Kylie atwood is outfront for us tonight. You broke this News Tonight of the State Department Cable Warning of catastrophe if urgent Action Wasnt taken. That warning came in mid july. What more are you learning . Reporter these were a group of diplomats, most of them in afghanistan at the time. Who wrote this Dissent Memo, this classified Dissent Memo to the Secretary Of State you remembering the department to take more urgent action with regard to these afghans, who had worked alongside u. S. Troops and diplomats to process them, and evacuate them from the country. Im told that they wrote this memo, because they felt that what they were telling the department was being viewed as alarmist, and that they needed to write the Secretary Of State and tell him what they thought the department should be doing. Now, we saw a deputy national Security Adviser speaking last hour to our Wolf Blitzer about this, and he said that this was a memo that did predict the fall of the afghan government by the time of the u. S. Troop withdrawal, august 31, but said that happened much more quickly than anyone had expected. He also said that some of the suggestions in this memo were taken on by this biden administration. But i think its important to note that im told that some of the things that were in this memo also werent acted upon, and that is going to be of interest to folks on The Hill who are investigating what went wrong here with regard to the preplanning for the chaos that we are seeing ensue right now. I should also note that the State Department spokesperson ned price said that this department values the dissent channel, and also that the Secretary Of State reviews all of the Dissent Memos that come his way, and the responses that go out. Now, thats all good and well. He didnt comment on this Dissent Memo specifically. But it is important that those in this department were raising their voice about concerns that the Administration Wasnt doing enough to prepare for the chaos that they expected to ensue, while you have the president himself saying that the administration did everything that they could and essentially the chaos that ensued was inevitable. What these State Department officials are saying is that it wasnt inevitable. Kate . Kylie, thank you very much. Now to the ground in kabul at the airport there. Isha Ta 2346nzine is here with now. I know that youre in a Military Barrack on the North Side of the airport right now. Weve seen video of the Chaos Outside of the airport. What is the situation there right now . Reporter its the middle of the night in kabul, so things are a little calm. But during the day, things were just as bad as the videos you showed. I can tell you that, because i heard live Gunfire Erupting throughout the day. So i could tell that they were using it as a method of crowd control. I also talked to some of the people who came in expecting to be evacuated. And many of them said that the Chaos Outside was so bad that they got separated from their loved ones. They were in panic not knowing where their families were. Im met one young man who was crying and he had no idea where they were. One teenager was alone and he said i have no idea where my family is. One young woman with a baby who said, look at me, look at my clothes, look at the condition im in. And all of these people were carry nothing luggage, because they werent able to bring in anything through the crowd. So the scenes outside of the airport are just as bad, and as things are progressing, theyre getting even worse. The stories youre hearing are horrible. Not only to get to the airport, but then what happens to them when they can get through the crush of people. Tell me about your own experience, just getting into the airport, which is clearly the biggest challenge right now. Exactly. First of all, it took me three trips to get inside the first two trips, of course, live fire, beating people back with sticks. The Security Forces are locking the perimeter, i couldnt get in. The current time that i was able to get in, it took two or three hours of being in the crowd, getting pushed around, shoved around, everybody was on top of each other. I saw grown men cry. I saw babies wailing. I saw women break down and having panic attacks. I saw people drenched in sweat, and people breaking into fights with each other. It was a horrendous scene. People couldnt breathe. At one point, i thought some kids were going to get trampled upon. So it was not an easy journey, and i was told that i was there on one of the easy days. So i cant imagine what a difficult day of getting inside the airport is like. That makes me sick to my stomach hearing the story you just told. But thank you for your reporting and for what youre doing. Outfront now, douglas london, a cia former Counterterrorism Chief for the region and the author of the soontobe released Book Spying and the lost art of american intelligence. Also with us david gregory, cnn political analyst. I just have to say, what shes saying about what is happening at the Airport And Outside is horrific. Its worse than i mean, hearing that things are moving along easily now from the Defense Department and State Department, its not true. But i digress. Joe biden, on the intelligence and what we knew before hand, he said that, in his words, there was no consensus in intelligence reports that this would happen. Nobody anticipated it would go this way. But you, doug, you say the intel was actually spot on. Explain. So its unfortunate when the Intelligence Failure implies that the Intelligence Community didnt expect this to unfold or they didnt tell anybody. Neither of those cases happened. The Intelligence Community has been looking at various scenarios. How many troops are there, what is the stability of the government, and the circumstances weve seen over the past few months, not days but months, starting with the major base closure, and then bagram, which really ended the presence of all u. S. Military and intelligence platforms, this was anticipated, and it was made clear to policymakers that this was a very possible outcome and could happen in a matter of days, not necessarily months. Doug, let me ask you then. Lets just cut through it. You wrote a provocative piece about this. If there was no Intelligence Failure, then what happened . Well, unfortunately, intelligence is supposed to inform decision making. But intelligence does not recommend courses of action. The cia is not a policymaking organization. Our job is to provide assessments based on the intelligence and the Policy Options that are being brought to our attention, such as if we do a, what happens . If we do b, what happens . So certainly the case that president trump, when i was th there, it was clear in august of 2017, he was willing to take a different look at afghanistan, understood the threats and concerns we expressed, and decided to invest in a more sustained approach then. That didnt last very long. I think Joe Biden has been consistent since he was Vice President under President Obama that he wanted out, and its clear he did, even under President Obama toward the end of his administration. We were actually getting ready to close additional bases, Military Bases and platforms that intelligence platforms. But the president changed his mind based on intelligence. But the Vice President at the time continued to think we should get out. As a candidate, i think biden had some of those views reinforced by some in his circumstanced who believed the Taliban Today were not the same taliban of 20 years ago. That theyre going to be more progressive, that theyre going to need our help. Where the intelligence was saying the taliban takes control by keeping that country isolated, by not integrating with the west, and by resuming the same principles of philosophies. The current amir of the taliban, hes a sharia fellow, hes more hardline in his views on what taliban policies should be than his predecessor, who was killed in a Military Strike in pakistan a couple years ago. Im just going to jump in. David i want to bring you into this. And i have to say im really impacted by the story we just heard by ayesha who is at the airport. Add it to, david, In This Moment of crisis, we dont know how many americans are still left in afghanistan tonight. I am wondering how that is possible. What did you think when you heard that today . Well, its horrible. The stories are horrible to hear. This is a tragic situation, and a horrifying in so many instances. But i think certainly this was something that could be anticipated. Theres no clean way to withdraw in a country like afghanistan. And thats what youre seeing. I think the priority by this administration, i think he says it, which is they wanted to get out of afghanistan. Dont forget when, during the obama presidency, it was his Vice President , Joe Biden, who argued that he felt the military was jamming obama up on afghanistan omptions, and of course, obama kept a true presence there. Biden, the candidate, and biden the president , has been very clear that the troops were coming home. Trump would have gotten them out sooner if he could have and put the agreement in place, but i think whats being described here and what people have to understand about the government, there is a momentum that takes hold by policymakers. And in this case, the momentum was toward complete withdrawal. I still think it is a stain on the administration that an Extraction Plan was not better executed than this, because the result is what were seeing play out day in and day out. Unacceptable. Certainly to the president , to his team, but this is the new reality on the ground. And now theres a very real possibility that getting u. S. Troops out safely was Number One. Getting additional americans out, which we dont have a complete handle on, and then those supportive of the war effort. That becomes a big Question Mark about what the u. S. Is capable of doing as its leaving. Just quickly, david. When the president commits that hes going to stay there until all americans out, hes not committing the same for the afghans who helped The American effort. How much Stomach Or Patience do american people have for troops staying longer to get americans out and afghans out or is that the very rough reality, that they dont . I think its the brutal reality. The reality has been true for over a decade now, maybe 15 years. I remember covering this from the earliest days. All the efforts to save the Women Of Afghanistan from the taliban, thats not why we went. And thats not ultimately what the enterprise was about, as cruel and brutal as that, is and as cruel and brutal as the taliban still is. I dont know that there is much appetite. Americans stopped caring about afghanistan a long time ago. And a lot of americans are looking up saying why are we still there any way . So yeah, when the news covers, and we have images of this kind of chaos and this kind of, you know, human story playing out, it creates pressure. But i dont think theres going to be a tremendous pressure on the administration to do more than its doing now. David, thank you very much. Doug, thanks, appreciate it. Outfront next, afghans who came to the aid of American Troops, theyre now left begging for help as they fear for their lives. Theyre going to cut our heads off if they mind my location. Im going to speak to the man in that recording, next. Plus, three fully vaccinated u. S. Senators testing positive for covid. The cases appear unrelated. Are we seeing the need for a Booster Shot play out in realtime . Trump allies using the crisis in afghanistan to spew intolerance.

Com tonight, desperation growing among Tens Of Thousands of afghans who helped america and its allies and who now are stuck in the country. Like one afghan, who is going by the name of abdul to protect his safety and the safety of his family. His fear is evident in this Voice Mail we played yesterday. [ crying ] The American soldiers are forgetting about us after everything we did. The sacrifices we made. Why are they leaving us behind . I dont want to be killed by the taliban. They are going to cut our heads off if they find my location. Please help. Outfront now, the man behind that Voice Mail, abdul. He worked for five years as an interpreter for u. S. Special forces. Hes a Visa Applicant and desperate to leave afghanistan. For his safety, he does not want to show his face and is joining us now by phone. Abdul, you said that you and your family need to get out of the country immediately. Have you been threatened by the taliban . Yeah. I have been threatened by the Taliban Today. I dont know how long should i handle this . Even today, youre threatened and being followed. Tell me more about this, what are the threats, what do you fear is going to happen . I went out to get something from the shop for my kids. I went there and i saw like two or three taliban. They were like following me. So i heard something is going on. And then i run away. They were after me for a long run, you know. I dont know how more should i handle this . I have a wife and two young kids. We will all be killed if the taliban find us. Its one week i couldnt sleep for a second. I was guarding my family. Can you describe for me im so sorry, can you describe what the days have been like for you and your family since the country collapsed . Since the taliban took over . Yeah, once The Americans leave, our lives will be over. Americans will have signed our death sentence. At this point, do you think its a matter of days before something tragic happens to you and your family . It is not just a matter of days, it is a matter of seconds, minutes, hours. Anything can happen to me. Have you heard anything from u. S. Officials, the united states at all about getting out of afghanistan . No, i havent heard anything. Weve seen just the crush of people trying to get to kabul airport. Have you tried to get to the airport yet . I tried many times, but everybody is shooting at us. The taliban, marines, theyre all shooting at people. So youve tried to get to the airport times, you say. And each time many times, yeah. So what do you think what needs to happen now . If you cant get to the airport, you cant get out, abdul . Yeah, something i need something, you know, to happen soon. I need somebody to take action soon, to get me out of here. What is your message, if you could get a message to Joe Biden tonight, what is your message to him . Im asking him to please save me and my family. We worked for your country. Are you going to leave us here to die . [ crying ] please, i am begging you. I am begging america, please help us. Abdul, thank you for your courage and even speaking up. Thank you for helping america. Yeah, no problem. Thank you for speaking to us tonight. No problem. Bye. Thank you. Wow. And now i want to bring in kim motley, an international human Rights Attorney with 13 Years Experience inside afghanistan. Shes brought Abduls Story and the stories of many other afghans to light. Kim, it was powerful and hard enough to hear abduls Voice Mail that we played. And then just to hear the Pain And Fear and anguish in his voice, its really hard. Its really hard to hear. Yes, it is. And it has its just such a nightmare for many of the afghans in afghanistan. They were told if they support the u. S. , that we will support them. And i think this is so heartbreaking. Im just getting dozens and dozens of afghans that are reaching out and sending me voice notes and its just i cant sleep. I cant even imagine what abdul and his family are going through. I mean, he says its not days. He says its seconds. Followed by taliban even today, he said. I mean, i can only imagine what his family is living through every second. And he said that hes tried to get to the airport many times, and he cant get through. His story is not unique in that regard. So many people we are hearing about, afghans who cannot get to the airport. Multiple sources also are saying that some who have actually made it and arrived that bloodied, mentally distraught, all of their belongings lost along the way, what else are you hearing from the afghans you speak to . Definitely, people are fleeing their homes with literally the shirts off their backs, the clothes off their backs. Theyre desperately going to the airport trying to get out, which many feel thats the best way to be protected. And i think what im disappointed in is somewhat is not happening. Theres no real diplomacy. I mean, i think when needs to be happening right now is there needs to be afghan female leaders who are who Go To Doha and meet with this new taliban afghanistan government and other afghan female leaders with the backing of the international community. We need to talk about womens rights and human rights, and to set actual conditional, you know, levers on this, so that we can figure out how were going to move forward. The international community, you need to back up the afghan women right now. Were not hearing womens voices. Were not seeing womens voices. Theyre being erased from this society. And women, 20 Million women, exist. And they have a right to and if you dont protect womens rights, youre not going to protect peoples rights. Kim motley, thank you. Thanks for having me. Outfront for us next, three u. S. Senators awfully vaccinated. Tonight, revealing they have tested positive for covid. Does this mean breakthrough cases will soon be the norm, not the exception . Plus, for Governor Desantis says it should be up to parents to decide whether or not to quarantine their kid it is theyve been exposed to covid. I think quarantining healthy kids deprives these kids of an ability to get an education. Gillette proglide.

Senators who are awfully vaccinated, announcing separately they have contracted covid. All three senators saying they tested positive after experiencing mild symptoms. It comes after another fully vaccinated senator, Lindsey Graham, tested positive earlier this month. Lauren fox is outfront for us from Capitol Hill tonight. Lauren, all three senators announced their positive test on the same day. What more are you learning tonight . Reporter i think one underlying factor here is all three of these senator, roger wicker, a republican, Angus King, an independent, as well as john hickenlooper, theyre all vaccinated, kate. And like you sate, this is not the first time weve seen a fully vaccinated senator announce that they had tested positive for covid19. Just a couple of weeks ago, we saw Lindsey Graham from South Carolina making that announcement. Theres no way to know exactly where they contracted or got covid19 from. But one thing to keep in mind, it wasnt that long ago lawmakers are on recess right now, but it was just a couple of weeks ago excuse me, a couple of days ago, that they were all on the Senate Floor for this votearama, which requires senators to be close together. Some were wearing masks, some werent. But one thing to keep in mind, these senators, in their Daytoday Work with cons constituents and each other, theyre around a lot of people for a long period of time. One thing that was interesting about two of the states we got from king and hickenlooper, they were arguing this is a reminder, and encouragement to get people vaccinated. Because one way to really reduce the number of Covid19 Outbreak cases is to just make sure more people are vaccinated. So that was something that they wanted to highlight for people back home and constituents. Kate . Lauren, thank you for that. Joining me now is dr. Jonathan reiner, he advised the White House medical team under president george bush. Doctor, three senators, one after another, announcing this, awfully vaccinated. We dont know if theyre connected or not. But what does this mean for the rest of us . Well, first of all, kate, i find it more than a little bit ironic that there was a democrat, independent, and a republican, because the virus doesnt care. The virus doesnt care what your politics are, the virus doesnt care whether you believe in it. But i think we can make some conclusions about this. So first of all, all three of the senators are about 70 or above. I think Senator Hickenlooper is 69. Wicker is 70, and Angus King is 77. We know in old effort people, and the Antibody Response is not as robust as for younger people. And it degrades over time. Also, we know that these senators were vaccinated were early. All members of congress were vaccinated beginning in the first wave. So they would have been vaccinated in december or january. And thats now eight months out. What were learning is that the effect of the vaccines wane. As we just heard, their business is to be around people, and the senate has never had a mask mandate. So to me, thats a perfect storm. You have older people vaccinated eight months ago in an environment that caters to people without masks on. This is where youre going to get breakthrough infections. To me, it really pushes the case for boosters. This could be like a realtime study of making the case for boosters. Now, Joe Biden was asked during his interview with Abc News whether he and the First Lady have gotten their Booster Shots. Let me play what he said. Were going get the Booster Shot. We got our shots all the way back in, i think, december. So its past time. And the president is 78 years old. Are you concerned that he hasnt gotten this booster yet . I would have already boosted the president. And i dont think theres any reason for the president to wait for some arbitrary date in september. The President Of The United States has a unique security and medical security requirements. So he travels around in the beast and he has Secret Service with him. And he needs protection frompat. Hes 78 years old. T he was vaccinated eight months ago, so i would just go ahead and vaccinate him tomorrow with a booster. Doctor, good to see you. Outfront next, out of patience.

Woman because we know quality public schools make a better california. New tonight, demanding answers from the add. A bipartisan group of more than 100 house lawmakers demanding a briefing on why the Covid Vaccine has not been approved yet for kids under 12. This as the rate of pediatric Kofd H Covid hospitalizations in the country hit a high. Outfront now, congresswoman katie porter, a single mom of three kids who went Back To School today, one who is 9, not yet eligible to be vaccinated. So to your letter, what specifically do you want to know from the fda . Parents need to know what the Fdas Plan is and what the timeline is for authorizing vaccinations for children. We lost a really important moment with backtoschool already occurring, which we could have been educating parents and offering vaccines. So parents need simply about what is the process, how long is it going to take, what is the cause for the delay . The fda received an official batch of data, so what did it show . Our job as representatives is to get those answers and to share that information with our constituents. Do you think the fda is not moving as fast as they can, theyre not moving with all urgency . I couldnt say for sure, but i can tell you, i think theyre failing to communicate. I think what would be very helpful to know is if theyre not ready now, to tell us when they will be ready, and what are the steps whats standing in the way of being ready . And The American academy of pediatrics is also very concerned. They issued a letter recently saying that the Delta Variant has changed the Risk Benefit Calculation for vaccinating younger children. So we need to have this information. So the fda, if they need two more weeks or months, The American public should be kept apprised of the process and what are the roadblocks theyre facing . We shouldnt be wondering if theyre just sitting on their hands. Theyre still waiting for data from the Drug Companies. But seven months into his presidency, Joe Biden has not yet named a permanent commissioner for the fda. Do you think that would help . Im not sure if it would help, but thats the point of the briefing, is to put answers put questions to the fda and get answers. We do know the Drug Companies started conducting these trials in children quite some time ago. I, as a parent, have tried to enroll my daughter in every Clinical Trial i can. She hasnt gotten into any. So i think we need answers from the fda. If the problem here is that the acting Commissioner Isnt up to speed or being slowed down, we do need to turn to pushing to the appointment of a permanent commissioner. So i think the preliminary question is, what is the status, and what are the next steps . I want to play something that florida governor Ron Desantis is being outspoken out about now. We mentioned you are a parent, hes a parent of three kids himself. Hes saying that quarantines for kids exposed to covid should be a choice left up to their parents. Listen to this. I think quarantining healthy kids deprives these kids of an ability to get an education. Now, maybe a parent would want a healthy kid to be quarantined if theres an exposure, but i think that should be the choice of the parent. There is Cdc Guidance on this. There are some exemption it is both kids in class are wearing masks or not. But on its most basic, what do you think the advice that Governor Desantis is handing out . Ill just say that he is not a public health official. Hes not a scientist. Hes not a virologist. So we need to follow the science. I think that parents who send their kids to public schools have an or send their kids to school or in the community have an obligation to keep their kids safe and other kids safe. I think families who are partially vaccinated like mine are facing that. The decisions that i make, that my older children make, we make because were keeping my daughter in mind who isnt able to be vaccinated. I think the goal here is for families and schools, in pa partn partnership, to be following best public health practices. Well get those from the kdcdc. Our job is to get that scientific information and then share it. Unfortunately, thats not what hes doing. Congresswoman, thank you for your time. Outfront next, the right stepping up attacks on Afghan Refugees who served alongside u. S. Troops. All day, weve heard phrases like, we promised them. Who did, did you .
