REPORTER: SHE SAID ALL U.S.
FORCES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
PULLED OUT OF AFGHANISTAN.
LIZ: JOINING US, RONNY JACKSON.
CONGRESSMAN, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYING THEY ARE PROUD OF BIDEN’S
SAYING THEY ARE PROUD OF BIDEN’S
EXIT AND NO ONE WILL GET FIRED?
>> NO ONE IS BEING HELD ACCOUNT
R ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING HEARINGS
WITH THE ARMED SERVICES
COMMITTEE AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
GENERAL McKENZIE, THE SITCOM
COMMANDER RECOMMENDED THEY LEAVE
A MINIMUM OF 2,500 TROOPS THERE.
THEY DECIDED TO DO THAT.
THEY REDUCED THE NUMBER TO 600.
THEY SHUTDOWN BAGRAM WHICH WAS
KEY.
THEY GOT 13 AMERICANS KILLED.
THEY DESTROYED THE CREDIBILITY
OF THE UNITED STATES ALL OVER
THE WORLD.
THIS IS EMBARRASSING AND
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE.
LIZ: THE FAMILIES OF THE 13
TROOPS KILLED ARE UPSET OVER
THIS WHITEWASHED REPORT.
BLAMING PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN BIDEN SET HIS OVER EXIT PLAN?
BIDEN SET HIS OVER EXIT PLAN?
>> I REMEMBER ASKING.
AT THE TIME HE TOLD ME THAT WAS
A DECISION BROUGHT TO HIM BY HIS
MILITARY ADVISERS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS DOCUMENT,
JOHN KIRBY SAID IT WAS NOT A
DOCUMENT MEANT TO FOCUS ON
ACCOUNTABILITY.
BUT INSTEAD IT BLAMES THE
PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION AND THE
AFGHAN ALLIES.
AT BEST IT SAYS THERE WERE
INTELLIGENCE FAILURES.
I THINK THERE WILL BE OUTRAGE
EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS DROPPED
RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND.
LIZ: THEY DROP THIS RIGHT BEFORE
THE EASTER WEEKEND.
WHEN BIDEN PULLED THE TRIGGER ON
LEAVING BEFORE 9/11.
THEY HAVE WHITE HOUSE REPORTERS
ACCUSING THEM OF DOING THIS NEWS
DUMP.
WE HAVE PENTAGON AND STATE
DEPARTMENT DOING THEIR OWN
CLASSIFIED BRIEFING AND REPORTS
TO CONGRESS.
THEY ARE TRYING TO PREEMPT THAT
WITH THIS WHITEWASHED REPORT.
>> FOR ALL THIS TALK OF CHAOS, I
DIDN’T SEE IT FROM MY PERCH.
NO ONE IS SAYING EVERYTHING WAS
PERFECT.
BUT A LOT WENT RIGHT.
WE INHERITED A DEAL STRUCK
BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION AND THE TALIBAN.
THE ARGUMENT IS LUDICROUS THAT
WE LEFT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
STUFF IN AFGHANISTAN.
YOU HAVE KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THAT EQUIPMENT?
THE AFGHANS.
IT’S THEIR EQUIPMENT.
>> THERE WERE CHILDREN BEING
KILLED.
PEOPLE HANGING OFF AIR FORCE
JETS.
AND YOU ARE SAYING YOU ARE PROUD
OF HOW THIS MISSION WAS
CONDUCTED?
>> PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WE GOT
MORE THAN 124,000 PEOPLE SAFELY
OUT OF AFGHANISTAN, YOU BET.
>> THIS 12-PAGE DOCUMENT IS A
WHITEWASH.
IT’S DEVOID OF CITATIONS AND IN
ESSENCE THEIR VERSION OF EVENTS.
LIZ: WHY IS JOHN KIRBY TALKING
LIKE THIS?
HE’S USUALLY A STRAIGHT SHORT.
NOW HE SAYS AFGHANS ARE LIVING
BETTER LIVES?
ALL THOSE MEN, WOMEN AND
CHILDREN BEING TORTURED BY THE
TALIBAN.
9,000 AMERICANS STRANDED.
AND THE TALIBAN ABANDONED
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
EQUIPMENT.
>> IT REMINDS MIDDLE EAST
BAGHDAD BOB SITUATION WHERE WE
HAD A GUY IN IRAQ SAYING THE
AMERICANS WEREN’T IN IRAQ.
I CAN’T BELIEVE JOHN KIRBY SAID
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
WE HAVE 85 BILLION DOLLARS IN
MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND WEAPON
SYSTEMS BEHIND.
WE RELEASED THOUSANDS OF ISIS
FIGHTERS FROM THE PRISON IN
BAGRAM.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
THEY HAD 8 MONTHS TO PREPARE
THIS.
8 MONTHS THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION HAD TO GET THEIR
DUCKS IN A ROW.
THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR
WOKE SOCIAL AGENDA AND THE GREEN
NEW DEAL, AND THIS IS THE
RESULT.
LIZ: THIS IS THE WORST
PRESIDENCY SINCE TRUMAN, THE
POLLS SHOW.
PRESIDENT BIDEN WENT ON ABC RIGHT AFTER AFGHANISTAN
RIGHT AFTER AFGHANISTAN
COLLAPSED IN AUGUST OF 2001 202*
SAYING HE STILL HAVE HAVE
WITHDRAWN EVEN WITHOUT
MONTREAL’S PLAN.
>> WOULD YOU BE WITHDRAWING
TROOPS LIKE THIS EVEN IF
PRESIDENT TRUMP HADN’T MADE THAT
DEAL WITH THE TALL SPHWHAN.
>> I WOULD HAVE FIGURED OUT A
WAY TO WITHDRAW THE DROOMS.
THE -- THE TROOPS.
TROOPS.
>> IS THE TALIBAN TAKEOVER OF
AFGHANISTAN NOW INEVITABLE?
>> NO.
>> THE CROWD SIZE IS SMALLER
THAN IT WAS IN THE FIRST FEW
DAYS.
WE ARE NOT EXPERIENCING TO THE
DEGREE WE DID LAST MONDAY THE
PHYSICAL CRUSH AND CHAOS.
>> THERE IS JOHN KIRBY ADMITTING
YES, IT WAS CHAOTIC.
YESTERDAY HE CLAIMED IT WAS THE
NOT CHAOTIC.
THERE IS BIDEN SAYING HE WOULD
NOT HAVE PULLED OUT ANYWAY.
IT DOESN’T MATTER.
THERE WAS NO TREATY THEY PUSHED
THROUGH THE SENATE WHEN BIDEN
WAS FORCED TO DO WHAT HE DID.
WHAT IS THIS GOING TO DO TO HIS
POLLS?
>> WE HAVE REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS POINTING FINGERS AT
EACH OTHER.
THERE WAS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR
LEAVING AFGHANISTAN, AND THERE
IS AMERICAN FEWER YEAR ABOUT THE
WAY IT WAS DONE.
IF YOU REWIND TO THAT SUMMER ON
CABLE TELEVISION WE SAW THE
CHAOS AT THE AIRPORT.
WE YOUWE SAW THE HEARTBREAKING I
LIZ: CRITICS ARE ROUNDLY
