essentially providing life spoet for the afghan pill terry and government. we have problems at home with the economyt and covid and infrastructure and ay million other thing. and that s where he thinks our focus should be, 20 years later. as andrea was saying, we have accomplished the mission of getting bin laden out and al qaeda out. the pictures is raising questions about the veg of the biden administration and of the last 20 years of how u.s. failures equated. it is not just the u.s., obviously allies were involved, too, but how that s failures added up to this moment. want to go to kabul where richard engle is standing by. he has been reporting on the activity there allpo day. richard, what is the situation in kabul? well, we are still seeing the evacuation. we are hearing now more solid ground that it is going to take three days, and that the u.s.
0 going in and out of the country. if that were to happen, big if. then the u.s. military, who are there, they will work to defense any u.s. americans who are there and to keep the airport open so they can get the americans out safely. also, though, it s important to point out, you know, there were about 1,000, less than 1,000 u.s. troops who were already there. only about a1,000, not really full 1,000 have made their way in. that total of 5,000. they are not there yet. yeah. the current plach is according to defense officials is to continue to flow those people in. but this is all happening so in quickly, you have to wonder in the next 48, 72 hours f they are not in there, are they going to have time to get all of them in. a looking at pictures, with helicopter evacuations from the green zoneli to the airport, th are looking to get this place cleared out faster than it would probably take those extra troops to get in there. let s reset. it is sunday, august 15th.h. i m ali vel
about clinton, probably as well or better than anyone. when barack obama as president took bin laden out, he took away their military attacks from the republicans. now they been trying to do anything they can to regrab, or to be able to grab again the military attacks on the president anticipate then take this to impeachment. you saw the same trend with bill clinton. i ve been predicting they were going to impeach barack obama since before he re-election. i said since he was re-elected there would be a group in the house that would seek to impeach him. if they get control this fall, no question about it. they will never be able to convict him of anything because
by giving material assistance to a terrorist organization. giving material assistance to a terrorist organization. i mean, this is way beyond the pale. how much are we going to take? here s a president that restored this country, took bin laden out, and i live in a city where we lived under that terror, that has done everything to try and uphold this country, and because you don t like his politics, you re going to accuse him of materially aiding terrorists and we re not going to respond to that? i mean, bill, this is way, way, way too far. now look, this is politics at its worst. i don t think we ve ever seen it so disgusting and despicable as this, but i think we have to keep coming back to the big picture. the big picture is, and jonathan is absolutely right, the fact they are talking impeachment proves this is politics.
next. china is on the move and apparently taiwan. i wouldn t want to be taiwan today given what we have done and our reaction to ukraine and other parts of the world. how do you chalk up foreign policy victories with the chess board as it is today for the united states? i think elevating the u.s. standing in the world is not an insubstantial kind of accomplishment. let s go, number one. we are not elevated at all. we look feckless. she got china to agree with sanctions against iran. she got a coalition against qaddafi which reagan failed to take out. she was a beacon around the world for women and children. she supported taking bin laden out. in other words, she is going to run on let s go back to the 90 s and the other clinton administration vs. the old bush administration. that s what i think she is going to run on. richard, thank you as always. thanks for having me. mike huckabee fires up conservatives in iowa. he explains why he will never turn his back on traditional v
