claims, i shared intelligence about the pending attack so everyone was aware and knew it was happening, the intelligence community didn't know the gate but accessed it would be abby gate. that is not all. another officer giving more insight to how much the u.s. knew about the impending attack and the inaction. quote, intelligence officers knew that isis k was staging in a hotel two to three kilometers west of the international airport and general donohue asked the taliban to conduct an assault on the hotel but they never did. these are some of the most present revelations that have come to light how seem league poorly the biden administration -- seemingly poorly the budget handled america's withdraw from afghanistan, republicans reacting to the new report. >> u.s. intelligence had isis k, in their sights knowing they were plotting to take out abby gate on the very same day that it was taken down when the suicide bomber went off. they asked the taliban to go in, the taliban denied, u.s. intelligence requested an airstrike that was denied. was denied to go in and take out the very forces that hope to be killed our 13 servicemen and women. >> wow. okay. i think this information safe to say is shocking, it is disturbing. and it will bring a lot of anger. especially from the gold star families who lost their loved ones in this suicide attack. it is interesting, two officers one jerry dunleavy, an investigator, the other, james hassen is a former arm officer who himself served in afghanistan he said they dug through reports in some cases, this information was in plain sight, they missed two chances to stop the suicide bomber, david, what does accountability look like. >> my first question is, did they miss two chances or ignore the two chances? there is so much more to this, why give up bagram as a second position or as a primary position, there was already a staged exit underway, people were leaving kabul, leaving afghanistan. show, did they ignore it, because biden wanted to hit a date? you know. joe biden on foreign policy and national security, is not the person i would ask the question. to general donohue to the military commanders who did this a couple things you heard, one, an airstrike on hotel in civilian area, when you had better opportunities to go in with a small force and take them out, you rely on taliban, no, you don't even ask them, we have the ability to go in in, with trait ors that is go in and take it out, we have others. so many mistakes were made, did you just ignore the reality on the ground? when luk look at the airport in kabul and narrow yourself down to one point of exit and a narrow corridor that we were allowed to fly in and out of, you have created a perfect circumstances for this so many failures my question for the military commanders, since this happened, not one person has put their rank on the table, not one flag officer. joe biden has been wrong since his days in the senate about anything. when it comes to military or foreign policy, he is incapable. but the military commanders are not weak kneed men, they are s supposed to stand up to the president, saying this is untacticly unsound. the wrong thing to do, not one has put a star on the table. >> a good point. you know lisa according to snippets of the book, they knew it was going to happen. they didn't take -- they had a couple chances, david said they could have done something before, they really didn't do much there. we're talking about it now. but how long does this stay in the minds of the american people, will it matter in 2024 election? >> i don -- i know it personally fills me with disgust, i believe that day was the unraveling of this presidency, he sold americans this lie he would be a competent leader, we saw, was a feckless leader, a coward, a liar. and it was disgusting and shameful moment in american history, i have a interview tomorrow with a mother who lost her son, he is one of the 13 who was killed that day, joe biden h had to look at her face and lie to her, she knew she lost his son from cancer, he didn't apologize for her for getting her son killed. he looked at his watch during the ceremony. and this white house won't provide them with answers, they shield is behind classified information, these parents, he got their kids killed, won't answer their questions and sat there and lied to her, this is disgusting and shameful this is the most shame i have felt as an american in my life. >> wow. it is devastating. and we all watched those gold star families testify at the field hearing last week, they don't know about this book yet, i'm wondering how they feel now, joe, the white house said over and over, they have characterized this exit as a success. it was a successful operation. how long now can they push that narrative? >> adjective i remember from jen psaki was resounding, this is after the service people were killed 13 of home, i have been jotting down notes, i wanted to address a couple things david said, they relied on a date, let's make clear, 9/11 we got to make sure that -- like when you move out of your house before the closes date, we get everyone out for 9/11 we can say for political purposes we got it done. a life and death situation, and you put a timeline on it? and not uses bagram airbase, which we controlled, and bowing to taliban, we wanted to, level an airstrike, we were afraid of what the taliban would do? they would be offended? sorry, i think we're still in control. you also asked, how long in the mines of american people -- minding in american people this will resonate, home pages of cnn, "washington post" and "new york times," you will never guess what story they don't have one story on, that is the revelations in in book. you go to cnn alone first 7 stories are on donald trump. you have to go 31 stories down before you see anything on the bidens in anyway shape or form in particular hunter biden. you said it before, joe biden has been wrong in every policy decision, robert gates his own defense secretary, wrote that in a book, not david webb's opinion it is but it is robert gates he saw it close. >> that is a date that americans will not forget, he turned his back, he would not answer the questions, he left americans behind that people were clinging to planes because of how you know moranic the exit was and how poorly planned, i do not believe -- i will never forget that, that is one of the most disgusting moments in my lifetime, you think that people change their opinion on joe biden. >> his poll went off the cliff after that, it was 50s% than the productivity was gone. >> back to the people, these are not just our warriors that were killed. mamax's family, amazing, and ryan, his mom is broken. sweetheart of a lady, all of the others, their connections to this something else this is why i go to military commanders not joe biden. bagram for example, i was in bagram during 3 firefights over several hours, it's almost impossible to penetrate, the soviets built it, why did we give up a defensible position that could be used as either a primary or a fall back? the military commanders did not stand up to joe biden. he may be the cic, but, he does not have -- he does have final command authority, but not have all of information and as jim webb stood up to bill clinton when he wanted to hallow out the navy, he put his stars on the table and resigned. where are military c commanders. >> a lot of shamefulness across the board. >> the book, kabul, the untold story of biden's i fee ascii. >> coming up, scandals, gaffes and low rating biden presidency is in rough waters, fellow liberals know it, they are urging other big name democrats to challenge him on ballot in 2024. stay tuned. ♪ ♪ i'm fighting for my life ♪ ♪ centrum silver is now clinically shown to support cognitive health in older adults. it's one more step towards taking charge of your health. so every day, you can say, ♪ youuu did it! ♪ with centrum silver. at mint mobile, we like to do the opposite of what big wireless does. they charge you a lot. we charge you a little. they put their names on arenas. we put ours on my lower back. so naturally when they announced they'd be raising their prices due to inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due to not hating you. and if this were one of their ads, they'd end it here with a "happy customer". so we'll end ours with an angry goat. oh h-ho, look at the angry goat. ♪ ♪ to remind you ♪ ♪ of the mess you left whether you when you went away. >> welcome back to the big weekend show, things are going so poorly in biden administration, members of president's own party are encourages big name democrats to run against the commander in chief. >> anyone who wants to run. joe manchin, cornell west, we have primaries that doesn't undermine the likelihood of returning a democrat to the white house, actively inviting, encouraging to some degree, imploring people who are ready and know it is time take the chance. >> if it was left to me to comment on this, i can tell you lisa, i would take up the segment. we would need the rest of the show, you have worked campaigns, i start with you. are these democrats so-called independent, are they able to go up against biden, ballot access? >> no, thing wh challenge for the democrats right now, i am sure they would like to get rid of joe biden, i saw a poll 50% of democrats would like a different nominee. then y you are stuck with kamala harris, this is interesting how do you get rid of both, kamala harris is least popular american vice president in history, less popular than dick cheney after he shot someone, that says something. that is the challenge, they don't want to encourage a third party run, you could go to 2016, jill stein cost the democrats the election, if her voters voted for clinton, she would have been president. you know, they don't want that. it will be hard to, i am sure they would love to get rid of him, we'll see. >> joe. >> not popular. >> independents, are they really there? and to add another perspective, the fact that the democrats or far left in democrat party, love having joe biden there in my opinion because he is useable. he will do anything to stay where we was, is there really an independent streak or is that possible. >> he is an older john fetterman. you can coroll, control. i say why run if you are on democratic side, the dnc already declared joe biden will not debate, robert kennedy jr. at 20% when they declared that, why bother, joe man s manchin is a nonstarter, because republicans don't trust him over the inflation reduction act, he was hoodwinked. and democrats don't trust him he went against federal izing voting rights and build back better, they don't like that, i am going to be the party pooper, joe biden can run and joe biden can win, i look at this new york types focus group, okay? it was done by christian solis, she is good at what she does, they took 12 biden voters, 2020, do you think that joe biden is a strong leader, no, do you think he is disappointing as a president, they answered yes, do you think he should run in 2024, all answers no, 2 who are you voting for in 2024, all of them answered joe biden, why?
