We will get you home. He says hes making the same commitment to evacuate afghan allies of the United States. In his most extensive comments yet, the president seemed less defensive as he addressed the danger and the chaos since the taliban takeover. Tonight there is new confirmation that americans in afghanistan have been beaten by the taliban. The Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Sharing that information with u. S. Lawmakers. Cnn crews have also witnessed taliban violence escalating in the afghan capital, making a desperate situation worse by the hour. Our correspondents and analysts are standing by covering every angle of this breaking story. First, lets go to Jeremy Diamond over at the White House. Je jeremy, the president made very specific Promises Today about the evacuation. Thats right, wolf. Five days after the taliban took control of kabul, President Biden clearly trying to show he is getting the situation under control, also showing some more of his trademark empathy, talking about those Gut Wrenching images that he has seen of afghans desperately trying to get out of afghanistan. And, wolf, the president also committing to not only get every american who wants to get out of afghanistan out of the country but also saying that that commitment extends to those afghans who helped the u. S. Let me be clear. Any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. Reporter Tonight President biden vowing to get all americans out of afghanistan and extending that commitment to afghans who help the u. S. Yes. Yes. Were making the same commitment. There is no one more important than bringing american citizens out. I acknowledge that. But theyre equally important. Reporter the president trying to project command of the situation that spiralled out of control after the taliban seized the afghan capital five days ago. Leading to scenes of desperation at the kabul airport. The president revealing that u. S. Troops exited the Airport Perimeter to bring in 169 americans trapped in the chaos outside the gates. We have increased Reporter And Tonight biden promising u. S. Forces will continue to do whats necessary to get americans out, including the possibly of Rescue Missions into talibancontrolled kabul. Were continuing every opportunity and every means by which we could get folks from the airport. Reporter even as he acknowledged he doesnt know how many americans are still in afghanistan, he projected confidence that the u. S. Can complete evacuations by The End of the month. The deadline for u. S. Troops to withdraw. But he warned there are still risks. This Evacuation Mission is dangerous. It involves risks to Armed Forces and its being conducted under difficult circumstances. I cannot promise what the final outcome will be or that it will be without risk of loss. But as commander in chief, i can assure you that i will mobilize every resource necessary. Reporter biden also facing fresh questions about why he didnt act sooner to bring americans and afghans home after diplomats sent a classified cable in midjuly warning a u. S. Withdrawal would lead to the collapse of the u. S. Backed government. America has all kinds of cables, all kinds of advice. I made the decision. The buck stops with me. I took the Consensus Opinion. The Consensus Opinion was that, in fact, it would not occur if it occurred until later in the year. Reporter the White House says the u. S. Has now evacuated about 13,000 people since saturday, including 5,700 people just yesterday. Our commander In Kabul has already given the order for outbound flights to resume. Reporter Evacuation Flights now resuming after a bottleneck brought the mission to a halt for at least ten hours today. As for americans still trying to get to the airport we have no indication that they havent been able to get in through the airport. Reporter those words contradicting reports and the images on the ground. And, wolf, those words were also contradicted by lloyd austin, who told members of the house during a briefing this afternoon that there are americans who have been beaten by the taliban In Kabul according to multiple sources who shared that with cnn. I shared that with a White House who acknowledged there are going to be reports of Challenge And Chaos at the airport as americans try to get there. But this official reaffirmed the fact that the u. S. Is working to get every american out of the airport and out of the country. Wolf . All right. Jeremy diamond at the White House. Thank you. Lets get more on the u. S. Military mission in afghanistan. Were joined by our pentagon correspondent. Oren as Evacuation Flights have resumed, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about the planning for this mission. Reporter planning has been key, of course, as the pentagon often says. It is a planning organization. And that raises the question of why did they run out of space at the first country to take evacuees . That left them scrambling to find other countries. They found at least a couple. The uae will take some. But president Joe Biden said there could be up to 80,000. That leaves a question of does the pentagon and the u. S. Government have enough space for all of them as more and more are brought on a daily basis. Reporter outside of kabul international airport, chaos reigns. Bursts of heavy Gun Power as afghans wait out a closed military gate. So desperate to flee. A mother cradles her young child in the oppressive heat. The ground hands a baby to u. S. Marines to get the infant medical help. There is little relief at night. More gunfire. Afghans forced away from the barrier that separates them from salvation. Inside the guarded walls of the airport, the u. S. Military showing a very different world. There is food. There is water, medical help. But only for those who can get in. A Cnn Crew In Kabul witnessing the conditions around the airport. Afghans lining up to be processed. Some sleep on the gravel waiting for their flight. Flights finally resuming after an hours long pause as the u. S. Scrambled to find more countries to accept evacuees. Qatar has reached its limit. U. S. Flights stopped leaving kabul. But there are still thousands of people at the Airport Waiting to get out. They have received night letters, through Mass Text messages from the taliban. And the taliban said, we are going to burn you and your families alive. Reporter Peter Quinn worked with afghan commandos and pilots, the elite of the afghan military. Now hes trying to get them out before they are hunted down. I love these men, and i owe a debt of moral obligation to them to get them, their wives and their chin out to safety. Reporter the administration saying u. S. Troops went over to wall to rescue 169 americans nearby. In a short amount of time, with a short amount of distance, some of our troops were able to go out there and retrieve them and bring them in. Reporter since the u. S. Sent more troops into kabul to speed up the evacuation, there have been no reported exchanges of fire between the taliban and u. S. Forces. But the taliban has shown off its new Equipment Courtesy of the u. S. Government seized during the collapse. The u. S. Made its mission clear. Get out as many people as possible as quickly as possible. But for everyone waiting outside the airport trying to board a flight, there are many more who couldnt get this far. The Air Force says its been able to put more than 400 people on average on each of these flights. Thats more double what it was a couple days ago. But, wolf, obviously if the airport has to shut down operations for a Security Situation or because they dont know where to put people or another reason, that number drops very quickly. Certainly does. Thank you. Tonight Cnns Clarissa Ward and her Crew Capture truly remarkable images from inside a u. S. Evacuation flight as they, themselves, prepare to take off, along with 400 afghan nationals who are so desperate to flee their country. She has been doing amazing reporting for us directly from the scene In Kabul including the growing desperation at the airport. Reporter you see the few people that came in and started the application, but it hasnt been finished yet. You see them being escorted back out through the very gate that they got crushed in for seven hours just to get their chance to leave. So if your Paperwork Isnt in order and you dont have a sponsor with you, it is very tough to get to this stage where youre finally on the airfield and ready to go. Imagine being here with your family for two days in the scorching sun trying to take your children with no sense of what the future will hold, what happens when you get to america. I spoke to one woman who actually got separated from her family. She was inside here, but the rest of her family was stuck outside the gate. There is no mechanism for dealing with a situation like that. If you lose your family, you have lost your family. There is no way to reconnect people. There is no way to bring them in from the front gate. Honestly, there is no way to let anyone through the front gate. It is survival of the fittest. Were all so grateful to her for her amazing and courageous reporting. Lets dig deeper right now to all of us. John kasich is with us, Mark Hurtling is joining us, Phil Nataly is here and our White House reporter. Governor kasich, were seeing dramatic images from clarissa ward. You just saw some truly packed military planes. He described chaos on the ground In Kabul. People waiting hours and hours and hours in the heat, facing violence from the taliban. Theyre simply trying to get to the airport. But President Biden is arguing the u. S. Has this under control. Did you get any reassurance from his Remarks Today . Of course not. This is a complete catastrophe. And the ramifications of this, the disruption, the loss of confidence in america is something that cannot at this point be understated, wolf. Or be over stated, excuse me. I mean, what has happened here is frankly unimaginable. We got a general with us, and he will tell you the planning that they go into, and they didnt have a planning for some reason. I would say and the president said, oh, i was never warned about the fact that this could happen. Thats just simply not true. And, wolf, there is a lot of investigations that goes on in washington. And once this catastrophic situation begins to fade, once were able to save thousands of people, let me tell you, there needs to be an investigation from top to bottom, and at The End of the day, there are people who have to be held accountable who will lose their jobs. And that is not just in the national security council. It could be in the intelligence community. It could be in the state department. What is happening here, wolf, is its such a serious matter. And i have been a student of defense and foreign policy. I served on the Defense Committee for 18 years. We investigated things like the blowing up of beirut. But nothing, nothing has come close to this. And the mismanagement and the irresponsibility. This just cant pass. We have to save these people and then weve got to get to the bottom line, and there are people who are going to have to pay the price for this. Were talking about the humanity. And were talking about the fact that thank god that you and i and our families werent Over There by, you know, by some other reason that we were born Over There. Think about the pain and the suffering of these people. And most of it could have been avoided had we planned the right way, and we didnt do it. And if i sound like im furious, i am because my heart bleeds, not just for the americans, but the afghans and the children Over There and the women who are going to pay such a price for the fact that america didnt handle this right. Joe biden failed on this. I hope he can get back up on his feet, but hes got a lot of getting up to do. And he needs to not be defiant or arrogant about this, but he needs to be contrite. And i havent seen enough of it. I supported the guy for president of the United States, and im so bit early disappointed where we are today. And Thank You for letting me have a word. Let me get the general have a word as well. General, how does the messaging that you heard from President Biden actually line up with the reality on the ground . Well, first of all, wolf, i dont quite agree with Governor Kasich. You said earlier the military is a planning organization, but more importantly it is also an execution organization. And having prepared and partially executed a noncombatant Evacuation Operation like were seeing right now, it is the toughest mission the military does. So many challenges that require adaptation to changing circumstances. And to have cameras onboard right there shows all the rush of humanity In Kabul, At The Kabul International Airport only exacerbates. It would be like telling everyone in washington, d. C. That has a flight out of Reagan National next week to show up tonight. By the way, even if you dont have a flight, show up. And then trying to support that literal rush of Tens Of Thousands of people that want to get out of the country in a crisis situation. This is an evacuation. Make no mistake about this. I know for a fact that the pentagon has been planning this for several months. The execution has been, unfortunately, forwarded by a lot of circumstances both within the u. S. Government and especially within the afghan government. So its going to be a contested evacuation. And by the way, and unlike Reagan National, the enemy is outside the gate. It is extremely difficult. I think the military has adapted to a degree under very difficult circumstances. And i think were going to see an increase in flow in both u. S. Citizens and iraqi recipients as well. You know, the president , he has really struggled over these days to explain this disaster. Hes been angry, defiant. Did he manage to convey control over the situation during his Remarks Today . Well, i think he showed control of the facts that he wanted to share. But if the facts on the ground are not the same as the facts he shared, then i think it raises questions of transparency and competence. My concern is that he has set a very high bar, and now he has to live up to that bar. And should any american be held hostage or get hurt or be killed in this rescue, his Words Today will come back to haunt him. Similarly, he made an important commitment to our afghan allies. Im assuming there is a story behind the story that our courageous Special Forces are helping afghans get to where they need to be, but we dont know that yet. And i think the numbers that come out will help us understand if the president hit his mark today. He was very confident, but i wor ris his words will come back to haunt him. Natasha, you heard President Biden dismiss the suggestion that americas allies are questioning Americas Credibility right now. But this will have serious repercussions. What are you hearing . U. S. Allies have said publically, especially the Secretary General of nato, Germanys President angela merkel, they had said that this was a u. S. Decision and that they really had no option here but to follow the u. S. Decision. We also reported that, you know, in terms of using credibility, well, they have known for quite some time that President Biden felt a deep conviction about this, that he wanted to get out of afghanistan. It was discussed during these meetings he had in europe with these officials earlier this summer. And they agreed they came to a consensus about the withdrawal. I think what the foreign allies are now all questions here is not the overall strategy of withdrawing from afghanistan. More so how it was carried out, right . So we also reported that merkel has been kind of grumbling privately to aids that pulling out in this manner and putting this kind of arbitrary deadline on it of August 31st was a domestic political consideration for Joe Biden. That is how germany feels at the moment. You know, the Secretary General of nato has also said, look, we had no option here but to follow the u. S. Political decisions. This was something that we could not stay there without the United States basically. And, so, the one big question, though, is how much of a presence this is going to allow russia, China And Pakistan to have in afghanistan and in the region at large. That is something that allies are very concerned about as well because right now as the u. S. Withdraws, as nato withdraws, that would seem to give an opening to these adversaries of the United States to have a greater presence there. Governor kasich, prespresident hold on a second, governor. The president committed today flatly to getting all the americans out. How much faith do you put in him to make sure that the afghan allies, who work with the u. S. , risk their lives over these years, how much faith do you have that he will get all of them out as well . I dont know, wolf. And, you know, listen, i want to be clear about this. There is no way that i am belittling the work of the military in this situation right now. We shouldnt have been in this situation right now. The intelligence community, the military, the pentagon warned him that the taliban was going to overrun the afghan army. They told him that. But he ignored it. And had they planned this thing over time, i favored leaving afghanistan. It is not the policy. It was the way in which it was conducted. And had he recognized the fact that this was all going to come tumbling down, they could have sequenced this in a much better way. Now we are where we are and we have to get out of this and safe as many people as we can, but it is bordering on almost an impossible situation unless you want to commit more u. S. Troops and move away from kabul. I mean, why did they abandon the Air Force base . That was a place they could have been air lifting people. They didnt plan this right. So my only point is we got to support the president ultimately. It is about america. I think politics should stop here and we ought to just go back and see what we did wrong once this is done and never do this again because yeah. There will be plenty of time to learn the lessons of this disaster and then make sure it never ever happens again. All right, guys. Everybody standby. There is more developments unfolding right now. Does the fall of afghanistan have national security implications for the United States . We will talk about that and more with the former Homeland Security Secretary jay johnson.

Edu Evacuation Flights from the afghan capital resuming after an hours long pause during which desperation grew among the thousands and thousands swarming the airport simply trying to escape the taliban regime. Lets discuss with Jeh Johnson who also served as the General Council over at the department of defense. Thanks so much for joining us, mr. Secretary. The president has been trying all Day Today to convey calm. But the evacuations temporarily ground to a halt. People trying to escape have been beaten by the taliban. They have been crushed in s stampedes. Is the president doing enough to answer for this disaster . Wolf, i was listening to the prior discussion. Many of whom i have served with the obama administration. I remember what its like four or five years ago to be in the hot seat in the midst of a crisis. It does seem obvious that our government did not anticipate the situation In Kabul at the international airport. And the Mass Exodus that would be attempted this. Had we attempted this, we would have, for example, left open Bag Ram Air base, which is the point Governor Kasich made a few moments ago. So does our president appreciate the severity of this crisis . Yes, obviously. My concern is that it could get worse before it gets better. We may not have seen yet the worst of this crisis. I am concerned that there will be in the short term factions within the taliban government that arise. Some moderate or moderate faction right now seems to be the most overt publically, but there is probably a more Militant Faction of the taliban right now that may stir up trouble. But in the u. S. , i think we need to prepare for a full blown refugee crisis, stemming from afghanistan and do all that is necessary to give americans, most certainly, and those that helped our efforts safe passage out of afghanistan. Were showing Viewers Video of taliban fighters with u. S. Weapons that captured a ton of u. S. Weapons as some of them very, very sophisticated. Our personnel carriers, helicopters. More on this coming up in a little while. But mr. Secretary, the president argued today that the United States no longer has any national Security Interest in afghanistan with alqaeda gone. Do you accept that argument that the u. S. Can wash its hands after 20 years. There is enormous fear, a Homeland Security Issue that Alqaeda And Isis under the taliban will be coming back . Well, wolf, im not sure the president believes there is no national Security Interest in afghanistan. I believe there is a national Security Interest for us in what happens to afghanistan. First, afghanistan is a very remote, rough terrain. Most of afghanistan is ungoverned space in the mountains. You could probably hide an entire american city in the mountains of afghanistan. It is the type of terrain where Terrorist Organizations seek to train, to headquarter, to establish a caliphate. Thats true of afghanistan. Its true of the horn of africa. Its true of syria and parts of iraq. So we need to be concerned that another Terrorist Organization could crop up in afghanistan like it did 20, 25 years ago. On the other hand, governments, even governments of the ilk of the taliban are not incapable of thinking rationally. The taliban should realize that it is not in their own selfish interest to see another terrorist Organization Crop up within their midst. That happened 20 years ago. It didnt end so well for the taliban 20 years ago. So its in their interest to make sure that alqaeda or the islamic state does not crop up. But we need to be vigilant. From a homeland security perspective, we need to be vigilant. The President Today talked about the over horizon capability. What he means by that is the ability to monitor whether a Terrorist Organization is propping up in afghanistan from outside the borders of afghanistan. We do have that capability. And, so, we need to be vigilant in afghanistan. And in other parts of the world. But lets not forget, wolf, that right now the number one Terrorist Threat to our homeland is what dhs talked about just the other day in a bulletin, which is home grown, home born white nationalist violent extremism. That is the number one Terrorist Threat to our homeland. And i hope our government does not take its eye off that ball right now. Im sure they are not taking their eye off that ball right now. Mr. Secretary, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Jeh johnson, the former Homeland Security Secretary. Coming up, the taliban seizes a War Chest of american weapons left behind by withdrawing u. S. Forces. Because we were created for officers.

Among the many disturbing images coming out of afghanistan tonight, taliban fighters parading u. S. Weaponry left behind. Reporter sophisticated assault rifles, boxes of pistols, ammunition, vision equipment, videos posted by the taliban online in recent Days Boast of what they say are their seizures in the afghan city. And armored cars by the dozen, costing half A Million Dollars apiece. Even a small drone. These are the potentially lethal spoils the taliban are believed to have captured from defeated afghan sources. Weapons made in america, supplied by the u. S. To their fallen afghans. This is so bad that we will not be able to tell the difference between a Terrorist Formation Convoy and a u. S. Convoy because they will look the same. Reporter this video shows taliban fighters proudly parading through the city in white tunics, brandishing american made M4 Assault rifles and vests. Experts tell us some sophisticated american weapons will almost inevidently fall into terrorist hands. Reporter the weapons that concern me are the rifles and Machine Guns that they can use to pick off american positions. They have been able to get some weapons out of afghanistan. But according to various media reports, the taliban are believed to control many u. S. Made armored vehicles and airc aircrafts, including Black Hawk Helicopters and Scout Attack helicopters. Experts say it is possible the aircraft may not be of much use, at least immediately. These will be more difficult for them to operate and sustain. Reporter but analysts say afghan pilots who were trained by the u. S. Could be forced to fly the aircraft for the taliban or to teach the taliban how to fly them. And they say the taliban could also use american equipment to do you know people who work for u. S. Forces into getting captured or killed. So where they could actually look like an american, they could pull up to a Safe House looking like americans, driving like we do, get out with our equipment, our weapons, our Body Armor and consider whoever is inside that help has arrived and it will be a Terrorist Group that will capture them. Thats how bad this is. Reporter u. S. Officials have discussed air strikes. But an Administration Official tells C Initial N there are no plans at the moment to do that. Adding yet another level of concern here, military and intelligence experts tell us that whatever airport other sophisticated equipment that the taliban doesnt know how to use or cant maintain, theyre likely to give it to china, Russia And Iran so they can reverse engineer it and possibly use it against american interests in the future. Wolf . So disturbing. Brian todd reporting for us. Thank you very much. Lets get more on all of this. Peter is joining us. Hes the author of a very important Brandnew Book entitled the Rise And Fall of osama bin laden. What do you think . You just heard brian todds report. How big of a threat to the u. S. Potentially does the capture by the taliban of all this u. S. Made Weaponry Pose . It reminds me a lot of isis when it stormed across Iraq And Syria and tokyo, subjected Eight Million people to their rule. But they did that with american made vehicles captured from the iraqi army. The main american base, that Air Base was full of taliban leaders and members of alqaeda. It is not just the weaponry. Its also what isis did when it went across and syria. This movie is playing out very similar to what we saw in the summer of 2019. Youre an expert on alqaeda. Yeah. Is alqaeda poised to make a comeback . And if it does, what kind of threat is there to the u. S. . Of course. And the threat to the u. S. , thats a different question. But the secretary of defense was asked in june directly about this question. He said it would take, if the government of afghanistan fell, it would take a year or two for alqaeda To Reconstitute In Afghanistan and maybe propose a threat to the homeland. He has since revised that and said in light of the taliban takeover, we need to reassess that assessment. Meaning it could be a few months. It could be a lot quicker. But i want to be careful. Alqaeda coming back to the u. S. Is still very hard. Our defense capabilities are much different than they were on 9 11. But that said, can they conduct an attack on American Tacts as americans depart afghanistan . You know, theyre not bound by the taliban rules. And certainly, according to afghan officials, alqaeda is present on the front lines. According to un reports, the Taliban And Alqaeda are closely aligned. People can make their own determinations of what that means. Extremely dangerous situation. Thanks so much for coming in. Thank you. There is more Breaking News were following.

Full approval of the Pfizer Coronavirus Vaccine is immeant. In fact, it could come as early as monday. Lets talk with dr. Wen, the author of the new book lifeline. How big of a milestone will full approval, as opposed to emergency use authorization, be in the fight against the pandemic . This is huge, wolf. I expect we will see a rapid acceleration following the news of full approval. And thats mainly because they are so many companies, universities, schools that havent been making this vaccine a requirement. They have been waiting for that full approval. So this will open the door for them to all mandate vaccines. I think also we have to remember that Drug Companies are not allowed to market their something under emergency use authorization. Having full approval means they could use their Marketing Heft to do Marketing Ads as well. Getting that full approval also will help to change some peoples minds who are still hesitant about getting the vaccine. So you are obviously hopeful that this step will encourage millions of americans, potentially, to go get this shot. For more businesses, schools and others to actually mandate the vaccine. Is that right . Absolutely. I think right now one of the arguments that some people are using for why theyre not getting the vaccine is somehow its experimental, which its not. Its been given to hundreds of millions of people around the world. But this takes away that argument. We need to start seeing this vaccine as we do every other vaccine. All 50 Statesman Date Charter immunizations. These are common place and we need to see the Covid Vaccine in the same way we see all of these other vaccines that already exist that we have hundreds of years of experience with. You also say that this will allow doctors to prescribe vaccines. Why is that so important . Well, right now, lets say that somebody got a J J one Dose Vaccine and they want to get a second dose. Right now Doctors Cant technically prescribe it. And so many patients i know have had to go to different pharmacies, often lie and not and Cross State Lines in order to try to get a booster dose. And thats because this vaccine is not yet fully approved. Once its fully approved, it could be treated just like any otherther. Doctors can prescribe off label. Even though it is not spended for that particular use, they are able to prescribe it by using clinical discretion, using our own discretion to do whats best for that individual patient. It allows the Covid Vaccine to be used for boosters to be prescribed for patients who dont exactly meet the criteria. Again, i think it is important Toda Tod Tailer the vaccines. This is a major, major development. Very encouraging indeed. Thank you so much for your analysis.
