To this position . Joe biden is to blame, i think Robert Gates said it best, there hasnt been a foreign Policy DecisionJoe Biden has made in the last 40 years thats been any good. When you project weakness from the Oval Office as Joe Biden does, bad guys do bad things. Shannon former President Trump Tonight offering his condolences to the fallen Service Members and their families. These noble american warriors laid down their lives in the line of duty. They sacrificed themselves for the country they love, racing against time to rescue their fellow citizens from harms way. They died as american heroes and our nation will honor their memory forever. Shannon we have team coverage tonight. Phil keating is in miami taking a look at the implications for Homeland Security here in the u. S. Jeff paul standing by with reaction from Capitol Hill. Kevin corke here in washington casting a critical eye over the president us remarks this afternoon and Friday Morning donning now in kabul, a City On Edge in the aftermath of that deadly Terrorist Attack come a senior foreign Affairs CorrespondentAmy Kellogg joins us live from milan tonight monitoring the situation on the ground from afghanistan. Good morning to you there, amy. Hi, shannon. Those evacuations said to be accelerating now in the wake of Last Nights attacks as condemnations come in from Around The World remembering those marines and other u. S. Service personnel who heroically gave their lives trying to help people reach Safe Harbor and those afghan victims, shannon, who have been Living In Fear or had been Living In Fear for longer than we can know. Those blasts, the scenes in the aftermath were just horrific. They were extraordinary, heartbreaking, and terrifying images coming out of kabul Last Night. People were evacuated from the scene in any way possible, in many cases it was in wheelbarrows. The two bombings took place, at least one oh suicide bombing, and attack now claimed by Isis Correspondent Branch of the terrorist group active in afghanistan and pakistan, one at the abbey gate, a Choke Point for the masses of people scrabbling to get out of the country and then another at the Baron Hotel close by. 13 u. S. Service personnel, ten marines and a Navy Medic among them were killed, 18 were wounded, reports from afghanistan Health Ministry are that the 60 afghans killed, but those numbers are already reported to have climbed significantly. An unnamed taliban official has just told reuters the 28 numbers of the taliban were among those afghans killed in the attack. One of the two explosions went off near a canal filled with sewerage into which people were thrown by the force of the blast. Isisk is perhaps the most bloodthirsty of the terrorist groups operating in afghanistan. The taliban has said that the perpetrators came from Evil Circles and would be suppressed once the foreign troops leave. Australias Prime Minister has called the attack evil, calculated, and inhumane on the innocent and the brave. Saudi arabia, home to islams two holiest charms have condemned the attack is incompatible with all religious principles and moral and Human Values and it is not clear, shannon, who isisk Really Appeo and what group or what leaders could chip away at some of its standing but what is clear as dawn breaks over afghanistan is that those terrified afghans who were Living In Fear of the taliban now have another Clear And Present Danger to contend with. Shannon. Shannon Amy Kellogg, thank you very much, amy. President biden addressed the nation about the attacks late this afternoon following the u. S. Will strike back at those responsible. White house corresponded Kevin Corke has the key takeaways in reaction to the president s remarks tonight, good evening, kevin. For hours americans waited to her with the president would have to say following the Terror Attack at kabul. Inexplicably he said nor posted anything not a single word until appearing some 25 minutes late to his own Press Conference late thursday afternoon. Among his remarks, we must complete this mission, and we will. We will not be deterred by terrorists, we will not let them stop our mission, we will continue the evacuation. He also said we will not forgive, we will not forget, we will hunt you down and make you pay. He also added this. I bear responsibly for fundamentally all thats happened of late. As if he still stands by his decision to withdraw forces, biden responded yes i do, and items this. President biden these american Service Members who gave their lives thats an overused word, but its totally appropriate here were heroes. Heroes who have been engaged in a dangerous, selfless mission to save the lives of others. Republican senators Marsha Blackburn and Josh Hawley Today calling for biden and other officials in the administration to resign over the chaos in afghanistan. Former President Donald Trump pulled no punches in sharing his thoughts about the execution of Bidens Exit Strategy and the subsequent carnage in kabul. Its a very sad day for our country and a great embarrassment beyond embarrassment, its a very dangerous day for our country. Because of what theyre doing, we are leaving in disgrace, we could have left with great dignity. Mr. Biden also posted this tweet. Despite extraordinary dangers and risks, we were able to evacuate more than 100,000 people in just a matter of days. We can and we must complete our mission. We will not be deterred by terrorists, we will not let them stop our mission. We will continue the evacuation. The administration also today, shannon, did not deny reports that it provided the taliban with the names of americans and afghan officials to evacuate. The very same taliban which is apparently handling security at the airport. The same taliban its believed that may have led todays let todays terrorists pass at least one checkpoint. Back to the domestic side of all this, the Vice PresidentKamala Harris had been expected to campaign for California Governor Gavin newsom, who is of course in the throes of a recall election. She will not do that as planned tomorrow. She has pulled out. Meanwhile, as the sun rises in kabul, we await news on the situation on the ground and the fate of hundreds if not thousands of americans who are still hoping to make it back home safely. Shannon. Shannon we will not stop tracking that. Kevin, thank you very much. You bet. Shannon President Biden taking increasing heat the night with new calls for him to resign or be removed from office following the deadliest day for the u. S. Military and more than a decade. Correspondent Jeff Paul is tracking the latest reaction from some of the president s pierced as critics and supporters on Capitol Hill tonight. Good evening. Good evening, shannon. There was already mounting pressure on president Joe Biden and is It Administration from several prominent republicans, but some of the president s fiercest critics are calling on him and others to step down. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn tweeted Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, anthony blinking, lloyd austin, and general milley should all resign or face impeachment and removal from office. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik rode Joe Biden has blood on his hands, the buck stops with the president of the united states. He is unfit to be commander in chief. In Missouri Senator Josh Hawley commended echoed that sentiment saying that it is enraging and Joe Biden is responsible. It is now clear that beyond all doubt he has neither the capacity nor the will to lead. He must resign. And heres what Lindsey Graham had to say earlier this week. He should be impeached. This is Dereliction Of Duty by the commander in chief. This makes it harder to fight future wars. If you believe we left afghanistan, weve ended the war between the u. S. And radical islam, you are a fool. They are coming after us and Joe Biden has left us naked and blind in afghanistan. The White Houses Jen Psaki was asked about those calls for President Biden to resign. So she responded. Secretary psaki is not a day for politics, and we would expect that any american, whether they are elected or not, would stand with us and our commitment to going after and fighting and killing those terrorists wherever they live and to honoring the memory of Service Members. When it comes to those calls for impeachment, we should remind our viewers, democrats control both the house and the senate. If they would need a simple majority in the house to impeach and twothirds in the senate to convict. Shannon. Shannon all right, jeff, thank you very much for the update. In the wake of the deadly kabul explosions, u. S. Officials are also increasingly becoming concerned tonight about potential Terror Threats here in the u. S. , the homeland. Correspondent Phil Keating is taking a look at that part of the story for us tonight. Good evening, phil. Good morning, shannon. 20 years ago the talibancontrolled afghanistan and during that time, Al Qaeda was allowed to use the country for its Base And Training camps and of course the Planning And Execution of 9 11. Well, now that the u. S. Is leaving afghanistan behind and back in the Power And Control of the taliban, many are growing we concerned that the taliban, despite promising under the Withdrawal Agreement with the u. S. That it would never let terror Groups Base operations out of afghanistan again, will the taliban keep its word . Nobody with authority from the u. S. Government, the White House, the pentagon, or intelligence services, has shared whether theyve seen any indication of such a possibility. Today with harris faulkner, veteran dan crenshaw, who is right i was lost as he served in afghanistan after an ied explosion, and hes now a Republican Congress and from texas, he warned that that threat, well, definitely at least its on his mind. Now they assume that whether its Al Qaeda or isis, they will be able to externalize these attacks, meaning do it on the homeland sooner than later. This is what weve allowed to happen. And we need to fix it. We need to go on offense. Thats what i want to see happen. Im not sure biden has the stomach for it. At the White HousePress Briefing this evening in response to question about a potentially increased risk domestically, Press SecretaryJen Psaki said this. Secretary Psaki Isiss Ability to target individuals on the ground in afghanistan is very different from Isiss Ability to attack the united states and attack the homeland. The closest President Biden came tonight on the issue of afghanistan actually yesterday on the issue of afghanistan withdrawal perhaps leading to future domestic terrorism was this final comment. President Biden Terrorism has metastasized Around The World, we have greater threats coming out of other countries, a heck of a lot closer to the united states we dont have military encampment there. We dont keep people there. We have capability to keep them from going after us. Ladies and gentlemen, it was time to end a 20 year war. The department of Moment Security or the u. S. Intelligence agencies has given any warning to the public about any domestic threat imminent or perhaps on the horizon, which could obviously tragically and adversely impact the american people right here at home. Shannon. Shannon Phil Keating, thank you very much, good to see you. My pleasure, you too. Shannon a video of what appears to be numbers of the telegram operating a helicopter left behind by u. S. Forces after their rushed retreat out of afghanistan pair lets talk about the Military Applications of what we are seeing on the ground there with former marine, member of the Nx Security Team for benghazi, mark guys. And former First Lieutenant in the 101st airborne, Arkansas Candidate Jake beckett. Thank you both for being with us, gentlemen. Thank you, shannon. Shannon jake, let me start with you. What do you make of that video and seeing what is falling into the hands of listen, does a lot of groups over there, a lot of bad guys to choose from but weve left a lot behind, people and equipment. Well, today the american people suffer consequences of the pathetic Weakness And Incompetence of the biden administration. My prayers are with the families of those brave marines who made the ultimate sacrifice, lay down their lives in defense of this country. My prayers are with their families who were receiving those phone calls, who were speaking to chaplains my Heart Breaks for them. But im also enraged because this administration is so clearly braindead. I mean, weve seen the reporting. This administration gave lists of american citizens and afghan allies in kabul who are trying to still make their way to the airport trapped behind enemy lines. Give them lists. I just cant underscore the profound stupidity of this It Administration. We have a military full of brave american warriors who are being led by just a total incompetent fools, it makes me sick to my stomach. Shannon i will say this is and has continuously praise our Service Members unreservedly at has given them credit for being brave and the best force in the world. I agree, folks here at Fox News Night and im sure our viewers agree as well, i want to play something from dan hoffman. A former cia station chief, heres what he said Last Night on the show. We are watching afghanistan being transformed into a terrorist state. The taliban has sheltered and provided sanctuary for Al Qaeda for years. It is a Petri Dish of Terrorist Threats to our nation and right now our military is there, but not with the kind of force that we once had. Shannon mark, you have up close and personal experience with this region and with many of those groups. What is your reaction to dan talk about the fact that that is a Petri Dish for terrorism and now we have lost partners in that fight . You know, for the last two months weve been getting reports from sources on the ground that i know of that there have been Processing Stations set up by the taliban to bring in foreign fighters and within that we are seeing isis and Al Qaeda. You know, and then you look at our southern border being as open as it is. How much influence that the iranian republicans are has any Human Trafficking and how sophisticated Human Trafficking has become at our southern border and throughout our southern country below us and its very easy to see how theyre going to be using that, that sophistication, to come up to us. Was talking to a Border Patrol Agent just about three weeks ago and they had indicated that theres over over 72 different countries represented in those that are crossing the southern border. And recently there was two yemeni nationals that have been detained by our customs and border patrol. Now, if thats not what a very substantial risk of terrorism is coming across there and why we dont secure that border is beyond me. But i think our president takes as much seriousness in that as he does to the way that he tried to execute the withdrawal from afghanistan. Shannon to that point about how this withdrawal has been done, form a national Security Advisor Lieutenant general h. R. Mcmaster, retired, had this to say about the priorities there. When you prioritize withdrawal over the achievement of any kind of a noble aim in war, this is what you get. That is what surrender is and thats what weve done. Closing all of the airports that weve just controlled a couple months ago, it makes no sense, but it only makes sense really when you recognize that there are costs associated with surrendering to a terrorist organization. Speeones of jake, you make of that . Was the p. R. Pole to be out by 9 11, the big, you know, prize here, what was this about in the consideration here . Because the president says he was following the Militarys Guidance and suggestions. I think these considerations were purely political because they obviously make no tactical or strategic sense. I mean, we concentrated all of our people in this surge at hamid karzai airport, we closed four we got all of the american citizens out, close to before we got our prized equipment out. This is a total catastrophe. I think the considerations from the very beginning by the biden administration were purely political and they were just trying to get everyone out no matter what the cost. They dont really care, they care about their domestic agenda and this is all blown up in their face. They are clearly unfit to lead this country, biden is unfit to be commander in chief. And the reality on the ground has not changed. We still have american soldiers who are targets at hamid karzai airport, we are going to do our best to secure it but nothing technically has changed from tonight to tomorrow. Shannon we still have thousands of Service Members there who are under even increased mark, to the point that the president keeps pointing to, the military and the pentagon, and saying thats where he got the advice and he was trying to go with the consensus and make a decision as a commander in chief, if thats the case and this was their Bestcase Scenario i dont think anybody can imagine that it was are you surprised there havent been any resignations or firings . Do you think there will be any . Because the american people see these images and the Poll Numbers are tanking. I mean, this is firing up a lot of folks. Whether they voted for this president or not. I agree with everything you said there. We need to this needs to be we the people demanding that weather this decision was made by the military leadership and those who are advising the president need to be held accountable as well as the president , because you can delegate your authority, but you cant delegate your responsibility. You choose to be the king, you wear the crown at all the responsibly comes with it. No matter how much he likes to deflect from that, he is responsible for everything that this country does, especially in Foreign Policy and the way that this was such a failure as general mcmaster said, i mean, the russian held it because back in a posture be 80s because it was the most secure base that you could have. The most defendable, multirunway airport, we could have removed thousands of people in there. I see the president is now saying we moved out 100,000 people in his Press Secretary just a few days ago said i think it was three days ago, we had moved out 11,000. So if we only moved out 11,000 in one day, i dont know how i mean, its all most impossible with a number of aircraft that were going out that we could have moved 100,000 people out. Shannon we are going to talk about bagram a little bit more Coming Up and about how that factors in here and the decision to let it go. In the meantime, mark and jake, we thank you both for being among the bravest and the best who have gone to that region and done what you did voluntarily to protect the rest of us and to fight for freedom, thank you both very much. Thank you, shannon and god bless. Shannon you too buried much more reaction to the attack in afghanistan and here in washington china.

You know, i wish you one day say these things, you know as well as i do that the former president made a deal with the taliban that he would get all american forces out of afghanistan by may 1. In return, the commitment was made and thats the year before. Its a disgrace and its about the withdrawal. Its not about getting out, because getting out is something ive wanted to do for a long time. Shannon a bit of he said, he said happening tonight as President Biden and former President Trump Exchange accusations in the wake of those deadly attacks in kabul. Lets pick it up there with tonights political panel, kevin walling, editor of all israel news, joel rosenberg, also author of the new book Mnes And Allies about the tense relationship in the Middle East and former chairman of the house oversight committee, Fox News Contributor jason chaffetz. Thank you all for doing double duty tonight, its good to see you again. Shanna, good to be back. Shannon joel, i want to start with you. We talked about the fact that israeli theres an israeli delegation, including the prime Minister Rule who will will meet with the president that was delayed because of the events of today, give us A Setting again for what this means to that region watching this unfold with the u. S. , leaving afghanistan in a way that brings, you know, no positive connotations whatsoever. Yeah. The israeli Prime Minister is a former special Surface Commando himself. He was our defense minister, protege of former Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, so hes got a lot of experience actually, but he came in, the whole plan was to talk about iran and iran is rapidly moving towards nuclear weapons and he is still going to talk about iran, but biden is distracted and i made the point in the previous hour that the Bennett Team the israeli team is struggling, right . It clearly President Biden doesnt know how to deal with the taliban, so how are you going to build confidence that you know how to deal with tehran, The Terror Masters who are rapidly racing towards nuclear weapons . And as a point out of my new book coming out soon, enemies and allies, biden is not showing strength with our enemies and hes not getting trust with our allies and what he needs to do is sit down with the key leaders of the region, the arab muslim leaders who Fight Radical Islam every day. I actually do that and in the book i take you into the palaces and you meet the king of jordan, the president of egypt, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the others, and i talked to them for hours on the record, in the books, how they Fight Radical Islam, how they understand it. Biden clearly does not and hes got to stop pretending that he does, because americans are dying because he completely doesnt get it and its humiliating. Shannon going to read something from Josh Hawley Today, republican senator, says this. Joe biden is now overseen the deadly state of u. S. Troops in afghanistan and over a decade in the crisis goes worse by the hour. We must reject the falsehood Peddled By A Feckless president that this was the only option for withdrawal. This is the product Joe Bidens catastrophic failure of leadership, it is now painfully clear he neither has the will of the capacity to lead, he must resign. Kevin, based on the president s remarks today, i dont think thats under consideration from him or his team at all, but how does he answer now these charges that this was the only option . Not to leave, but the way in which we left . Yeah, shannon, this App President has the will to lead and i just saw your tweet that we lost ten marines, two army soldiers and one Navy Corpsman and obviously this weighs on the president s heart and soul. As i said earlier, he is, you know, the most recent president as Vice President to have a Son Serving in a combat zone, so he has the will to finish this mission out in these next five days. Any calls for any kind of resignation or impeachment of him or his team really are a distraction from this Core Mission that he is set to accomplish in these next couple of days. No one in the wake of 9 11 called for george w. Bush as a democrat to resign, so this is just party politics when we need to focus on the mission, supporting the troops on the ground, paying tribute to those lives lost and supporting this effort in the waning days in afghanistan. Shannon what to make of that comparison, 9 11 to what we are watching now . It is stunning to think that Joe Biden can make up the excuse of blaming Donald Trump and then look at the way he executed the program. Lets go back to the fact that Obama And Biden were the ones that let people out of Guantanamo Bay and put them back on the playing field. And you know, very interesting to see how that plays out. And Donald Trump put us on a trajectory that i totally agree with. I took a public position in 2009. Its time to get out of afghanistan. But how the commanderinchief Joe Biden did it, i cant find a single person who says that was our best foot forward, that was the best plan, mr. President , because look, its costing lives. By estimates theres over that may never get out and to give this if the story is true, we dont know if its true yet, to give a list to the taliban, for Goodness Sake of the targets of people that we want to go by checklist, it is absolutely stunning, you cannot find anybody thats reasonable to say that was the best laid plan. Shannon joel, you live in the region and now what were hearing is concerned, growing concern, about this being a Jumping Off place, a Breeding Ground for other terror groups. Weve seen what isisk is believed to have done with killing 13 of our Service Members today, but there are many, many other groups and factions and, you know, lots of bad guys, as i said earlier, in that region. Do you worry that this provides more of a place, of a comfort, a place for them to grow and spawn . Absolutely. Theres a lot of enemies and the enemies are gaining strength. They feel, the radical islamists inside afghanistan, feel like theyve brought on the Soviet Union and now they are bringing down the united states, that allah is with them, that the windows at their backs. One of the things i point out in this new book as if you look at bidens record, its not heartening, right . Because in 2011, he takes pride that he was the one that convinced obama to pull all u. S. Forces out of iraq. What happened . Al qaeda in iraq morphed in that vacuum into isis and lead a, and outright against christians, against muslims who disagreed with them in any way, it was horrifying. And it took a lot of Blood And Treasure to recapture and liberate, really, syria and iraq. If those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Joe biden is not showing that hes strong with our allies. Hes not creating fear in our enemies. And that weakness is opening up the floodgates and i who live in a small country in the Middle East im horrified by what we are seeing washington. Shannon kevin, the president says we are sticking to the August 31st deadline but he also says No One is going to be left behind. How does that work . You think he owes the american people more of an explanation about how thats possibly compatible . I think he does. And you saw the Secretary Of State speak to that, you saw the president speak to that in terms of answering questions. I dont think they wanted to get into the specific numbers of americans and any kind of tactical assessments of that going forward, but hopefully as we will see in these next five days, we saw 500 americans brought out of the country in the last 48 hours. Hopefully that number of americans is dwindling as we get closer to that deadline next week, but we owe it to them, we owe it to the people in afghanistan that helped us along the way to do all that we can to get them out in these waning days. Shannon these families who will be grieving for the loss of those who will never come home after this attack today. Weve got to leave it there, we really appreciate all of your time, thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, shannon. Shannon we will continue to bring you the very latest as it comes in, it is no morning there in afghanistan, our continuing coverage goes on and congressman, veteran Mike Garcia joins us live, plus we will take a look at the other Headlines TodayComing Up.

Breaking tonight, the Supreme Court has ended a pandemicrelated federal Eviction Moratorium allowing evictions to resume. Despite the biden Administrations Attempt to end the temporary ban after the court essentially warns the White House not to do that just weeks ago. In a 63 decision, the court ruled if a federally imposed Eviction Moratorium is to continue, congress must specifically authorize it. Justices breyer, kagan, and sotomayor dissented.

Tropical Storm Idaho has formed in the caribbean tonight, the ninth named storm of the season is forecasted to slam into the Gulf Coast this weekend as potentially a major hurricane. Sunday march the 16th anniversary of hurricane katrinas landfall. The chaotic u. S. Withdrawal from afghanistan is drawing increasing criticism from veterans of the War On Terror and that was before todays deadly bombings in kabul. Lets bring in someone with a unique position to address the concerns of former military, former Navy Lieutenant Commander and pilot, Republican Congress men from california, Mike Garcia. Congressman, great to have you with us. Thanks, shannon, thanks for having me. Shannon one of the things that we keep trying to figure out is the decision to get rid of it or leave it undefended. I want to read something from Andy Mccarthy writing at national review. He said by not just slashing the in Country Troop Presence but Surrendering Bagram and in a consciously chaotic and sneaky way that deprived the Afghan Forces and orderly transfer at a time when they were under siege and steadily losing their u. S. Dependent capacity to function, the biden administration agreed there would be no turning back from the decision to pull out a matter how bad things got, u. S. Commanders would have no military options. As somebody who knows firsthand how critical it is to have places to land or planes, to take off, what you make of this decision about bagram . This is the linchpin that caused things to fall apart. Theres no doubt. There was a lot of errors made, the pulling out of Military Personnel before civilians and our afghan allies, leaving behind Military Equipment, significant Military Equipment without a proper turn over to our partners, believing Bagram Airfield in the dead of the night i think about two in the morning without really notifying our partners there within the afghan government as well as the folks on the ground that will prove out to be one of the most critical mistakes, and its actually tied, in my opinion, to the absolute, most critical causal factor to all this, and this is that the president decided early on that this was going to beautiful Medic Mission is that a military operation. He allowed the Department Of State to run this without support from the department of Defense And Secretary you cant hide it with that mindset, you start think of things like i dont want too many troops on that airfield to secure it and hold it for long enough and i got a feeling as this president gave orders or gave a dictate that said basically hey, look, i dont want a certain number of troops in bagram and when that was communicated, the Department Of Defense and the secretary said with that number of troops we cant hold bagram. At that point i think that Apartment State and biden decided that they didnt need bagram and then they can proceed with this mission. He keeps referring to it as a mission and its absolutely got the wrong Mission Statement as a result and we bobby slid got the terrible strategy and tactics that fall out from there. So this is a mistake of colossal magnitude, but bagram is going to be one of the most causal factors in this as we look at the forensics. Shannon it feels like a bitter, devastating pill to swallow today with the loss of these Service Members and many, many other people, afghan civilians, dozens more wounded, so with that in mind, is it possible you think you talk about how this has been set up with the State Department in more of a diplomatic effort, willis that administration potentially pivot . Do you think that there are those close to the president or him watching how this is playing out with his own eyes who will say all right, we can correct course, we can make better of a bad situation at this point . No, hes not listening to anyone. Im part of the four country caucus, which is a bipartisan group of about 25 veterans who served, most of us in the Middle East, iraq and afghanistan, basically pleading with him to revoke the 8 31 date but also the mission of getting americans out to getting all americans and their families out as well as their afghan allies and its not glib to say weve got to keep reminding this president that its not good enough to not only just get all americans out, but we have to get all americans out alive, and at this point, this is a very serious problem. Its going to get worse over the next few days before it gets better and we approach 8 31, the chaos will become even higher levels, there will be pandemonium, fear, and panic in the streets and theres only going to be so much that we can do and that our Military Personnel can do. Again, this is an Operation Being Run by the State Department. It what we need to be doing right now is reasserting our dominance, reestablishing our dominance, and then reasserting our dominance.
