>> Bill: ANOTHER ALERT AND
REMINDER.
AMERICA IS OUT OF KABUL.
TALIBAN ARE IN CONTROL AND NEW
VIDEO FROM THE AIRPORT.
OUTRAGED REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS
DEMANDING PRESIDENT BIDEN
RESIGN.
CONGRESSMAN JIM BANKS LEFT THE
INDIANA STATE SENATE TO DEPLOY
IN AFGHANISTAN SEVEN YEARS AGO
IN 2014.
CONGRESSMAN IS WITH US NOW.
HELLO TO YOU AND I DON’T KNOW
IF YOU HEARD THE INTERVIEW WITH
ADMIRAL KIRBY A MOMENT AGO.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SPEAKS THIS
AFTERNOON.
WHAT IS HE GOING TO SAY?
>> YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS
MINE.
I HEARD THE INTERVIEW WITH
ADMIRAL KIRBY.
JUST LIKE THE INTERVIEWS I
HEARD YESTERDAY FROM THE
SECRETARY OF STATE, FROM
GENERAL MCKENZIE, THIS
ADMINISTRATION STILL HAS NO
IDEA HOW MANY AMERICANS THEY’VE
LEFT BEHIND.
YOU HEARD ADMIRAL KIRBY SAY
AROUND 100.
EARLIER IN THE DAY ON ANOTHER
PROGRAM HE SAID A FEW HUNDRED.
AMERICANS ARE STILL LEFT BEHIND.
YESTERDAY THE SECRETARY OF
STATE IN HIS SPEECH LAST NIGHT
SAID LESS THAN 200.
CLOSER TO 100 BUT EARLIER IN
THE DAY HE SAID 250.
THEN YOU HAVE GENERAL MCKENZIE
SAY IT’S IN THE FEW HUNDREDS,
HIS QUOTE.
THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS NO IDEA
HOW MANY AMERICANS ARE STILL IN
AFGHANISTAN.
THESE ARE THE AMERICANS WHO
HAVE REACHED OUT WHO WANT TO
GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY BUT WERE
UNABLE TO.
NOW THAT THE EVACUATIONS HAVE
ENDED THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO AND
DIRECTLY IN HARM’S WAY.
MEANWHILE THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
HERE IS WHAT YOU’LL HEAR THE
PRESIDENT SAY AND ADMIRAL KIRBY
AND OTHERS.
THEY’LL CONTINUE THEIR VICTORY
LAP WHICH IS UNFATHOMABLE THE
ADMINISTRATION WOULD CLAIM
VICTORY AT THIS POINT KNOWING
THERE ARE HUNDREDS AT LEAST OF
AMERICANS STILL TRAPPED IN
AFGHANISTAN BEHIND ENEMY LINES.
>> Dana: CONGRESSMAN, THE
PRESIDENT HIMSELF MIGHT NOT SAY
THIS BUT THE HEAD OF THE
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
SAID THIS LAST NIGHT.
PRESIDENT BIDEN ACCOMPLISHED
WHAT NO PRESIDENT HAS BEEN ABLE
TO ENDING A 20-YEAR LONG WAR.
THAT’S WHERE THEY’RE GOING.
THEY’RE BANKING ON AMERICANS
MOVING ON FOCUSING ON COVID AND
THE ECONOMY.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THE
EDITORIAL BOARD SAID TODAY
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE
EVACUATION AND FOR THE END OF
THIS HAS TO START NOW.
WILL IT START NOW IN CONGRESS?
>> WELL, REPUBLICANS WILL FORCE
IT.
LET ME TELL YOU I’M IN
WASHINGTON, D.C. NOW.
LAST NIGHT I MET WITH LEADER
MCCARTHY AND 40 OF THE
REPUBLICANS WHO ARE ALL
VETERANS SPANNING FROM THE WAR
IN VIETNAM TO POST 9/11
AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ VETERANS
LIKE MYSELF.
WE GOT TOGETHER LAST NIGHT AND
HELD A MEETING LATE INTO THE
EVENING.
WE’LL MEET HERE IN A COUPLE OF
HOURS AND GO TO THE FLOOR IN A
PROFORMA SESSION AND DEMAND
ACTION BY THIS CONGRESS.
I DON’T KNOW IF SPEAKER PELOSI
IS IN WASHINGTON OR NOT.
I’M GUESSING SHE IS NOT.
REPUBLICANS ARE HERE DEMANDING
ACCOUNTABILITY AND DEMANDING
THAT THE CONGRESS DO WHATEVER
IT CAN TO SUPPORT THIS
ADMINISTRATION TO GET EVERY
AMERICAN OUT OF AFGHANISTAN.
WHILE THE ADMINISTRATION IS
CLAIMING VICTORY THERE ARE
STILL AMERICANS LEFT BEHIND.
>> Bill: WE’RE ABOUT 10 OR 11
DAYS FROM THE ANNIVERSARY OF
9/11, 20 YEARS REMOVED.
WE ASKED ADMIRAL KIRBY WHETHER
OR NOT AMERICA IS MORE SAFE.
JEN PSAKI ASKED THAT QUESTION
AS WELL.
>> IS THE U.S. MORE OR LESS
SAFE TODAY THAN WE WERE BEFORE
THE TALIBAN TOOK OVER?
>> AGAIN, WE ARE NOT GOING TO
DO ANYTHING THAT’S GOING TO
ALLOW TERRORISTS TO GROW OR
PROSPER IN AFGHANISTAN OR ANY
TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
THAT CONTINUES TO BE THE
PRESIDENT’S COMMITMENT AND HIS
ORDER TO HIS U.S. MILITARY OVER
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS AND THE
ACTIONS SEN COM ANNOUNCED SHOW
HE WILL DELIVER.
>> Bill: OUR TRACK RECORD OF
WATCHING THESE TERROR GROUPS
WHEN WE ARE NOT THERE IS NOT
GREAT.
HOW DO WE DO WHAT WE JUST
DESCRIBED?
>> YOU CAN’T.
WE’RE NOW WATCHING RIGHT BEFORE
OUR EYES THE RISE OF ISIS A
SECOND TIME.
BY THE WAY, LLOYD AUSTIN WAS
THE GENERAL WHO OVERSAW THE
RISE OF ISIS WHEN THEY PULLED
OUT OF IRAQ.
NOW HE IS THE SECRETARY OF
DEFENSE OVERSEEING THE RISE OF
ISIS AGAINST IN AFGHANISTAN.
THIS ISN’T A THREAT WE DIDN’T
KNOW ABOUT.
AS A MEMBER OF THE ARMED
SERVICES COMMITTEE GOING BACK
TO AFGHANISTAN AS A MEMBER OF
CONGRESS WE’VE BEEN BRIEFED
MANY TIMES ON THE ISIS-K THREAT
IN AFGHANISTAN.
THIS ADMINISTRATION KNEW THIS
WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
THEY KNEW IF YOU GAVE CONTROL
BACK TO THE TALIBAN, IT WOULD
ALLOW FOR A SAFE HAVEN AND
ENVIRONMENT WHERE ISIS-K WOULD
RISE UP AND POSE A DIRECT
THREAT TO THE HOMELAND TO THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THE GENERALS TOLD US ISIS-K
ISN’T INTERESTED IN NECESSARILY
JUST IN TERRORIST ATTACKS IN
AFGHANISTAN.
THEY WANT TO ATTACK THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
THAT’S THEIR PLAN AND THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS GIVING THEM
SAFE HAVEN, THE ABILITY TO RISE
UP AND POSE THAT THREAT ONCE
AGAIN AND WHY WHAT ADMIRAL
KIRBY SAID WAS SO ASTONISHINGLY
IDIOTIC WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT
HOW THE WEAPONS AREN’T LETHAL
THAT WE LEFT BEHIND.
WE LEFT BEHIND GUNS AND
AMMUNITIONS, THOUSANDS OF
MILITARY VEHICLES, NIGHT VISION
GOGGLES.
ALL THOSE WEAPONS WILL BE USED
AGAINST AMERICANS WHEN WE ARE
