"To our two of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. This is Buck and Clay and I are trying to break down. All of the latest updates here from the Pentagon, the Biden White House about the catastrophe in Kabul. The unbelievable mind blowing incompetence of the Via administration on full display for all to see. And a highly volatile, precarious situation. Not just in general terms for US foreign policy, but also for the thousands of Americans who are still on the ground in Afghanistan. Not clear they'll be able to get out are admitted our government. The White House asked the Taliban for permission. To extend the August 31st deadline. Have given up on this notion of using meaning America has given up on September 11th of some kind of a symbol of the end of the war. And the beginning of something new. Now the Taliban is the one that is going to be using that symbolism for their own purposes. Fact is the Wall Street Journal Op Ed, referring to the Taliban 9 11. And going into that in some detail. We can talk about that with clay here and just a few moments, But before we came back here to join you and bring everyone up to speed on what's going on. You had representative Mike Wallace was a former special forces guy. He was S F And a good guy. I know him and know that he's a straight a straight shooter, so to speak. And he's warning about the possibility already of this going so badly that we could have to send Soldiers back into Afghanistan, not for evacuation, Perhaps But even for direct combat roles This isn't about politics. This is about the fact that America now is less safe. Here's why we're in even a worse position than we were in 2000 and one Because now we have no bases in the region. The intelligence community has been very clear they have the will in the intent to hit us again. So as we head into the 20th anniversary, the 20th anniversary of 9 11. We now face the prospect of our soldiers having to go back in. Play. That's what I think. Is in the back of a lot of people's minds here. On the one hand, there's just the Look, this is one of those moments where this isn't about politics. This is about what's really important, which is getting every American out of Afghanistan safely. That's that's what you and I care about. That's what we're sitting here, hoping for. First and foremost. If that doesn't happen, and something goes bad, and we all know what that would mean here in the context of a place like Afghanistan run by the Taliban. There is the additional possibility of We We go in and we start. Trading blows with the Taliban again in direct combat operations. That's not going to be a short, quick thing. Clay were to be And I think to your point Buck the Biggest failure of the Biden administration is not necessarily the evacuation itself. Although we know how much of a failure that evacuation has already been. It's creating a situation where the Taliban has all of the control and we have none of it and we've hit on this for the past couple of weeks as this Maelstrom of disaster has continued to on spool itself. You've got situations where 19 year old kids with guns who are Taliban. Really have the fate of the Biden administration on their trigger finger, because if those kids and I say kids because you're 18 19 years old, suddenly lose their cool or even accidentally start firing on crowds. Then you got Benghazi on steroids for Joe Biden and what is so humiliating about this is we have no plan for departure. And we have said, and this is the biggest failure of all. Hey, we have to be out of there by August 31st So, But what happens if, as seems likely there are still many people left in Afghanistan? Well, that's essential play because we're all wondering, Are we going to be able to get everybody out? And when you start to look at what the answer to that question is based on the numbers of logistics, the realities on the ground. Some are already saying no. In fact, we need to be prepared for The the eventuality here, the imminent reality of Americans being yes. The word stranded would certainly apply. And then I mean, if the Taliban shuts off all access, the airport says Sorry. You missed the deadline. Now. Now we are talking about a mass hostage situation for it could be 50 could be 500. Who knows? Could be 5000. Americans stuck there, and we won't be able to have the kind of visibility to know what's even happening to them necessarily. And representative Mike McCaul. He's just straight up saying it. We're not able to get out and Biden Item may have blood on his hands. The president just announced a firm withdraw date of August 31st. I can tell you there's no way we can humanly get our all of our American citizens. An Afghan partners at a country by that time, I've called this consistently and mitigated disaster of epic proportions. It will be a stain on this presidency and particularly after decision made today and what we heard today he will have blood on his hands. People are going to die. And they're going to be left behind Clay. I hope representative McCaul Is wrong. I hope he's wrong. Do not think he will be. And that again goes to the essence of this failure of Joe Biden and and the fact that As we started the show. Talking about this. This is resonating in a big way with the American people without necessarily a tangible disaster occurring in terms of loss of life of Americans. 26% buck approval, according to the most recent USA Today poll of our withdrawal from Afghanistan..

Axios is politics editor. Glen johnson joins us now with the latest on afghanistan and withdrawal. Good morning glenn margaret so gwen us troops are supposed to be out on august thirty first. That's one week from tomorrow. But yesterday the president seemed to be saying that he was open to changing course. Why would he need to do that. And what does it say to you about the scale of this operation well throughout his comments he made clear that the scale was overwhelming He opened up his remarks by detailing almost in a salesman's like pitch a recap of his record over the past month or so exactly how many people had been moved out. It was clear that they were trying to address the specific argument that they had not handled this. Well he just wanted to lay out the scale of what they were trying to accomplish. What was interesting. Later was in response to reporters questions. He expanded upon his prepared remarks in actually dropped some news into each one of the things he said when he made well first of all. He acknowledged that while his plan is to get. Us troops out of kabul by august. Thirty first It make extend beyond that deadline Whether it's facilitating the removal of additional american citizens or american supporters or coalition Friendly's there has been discussions clearly about extending beyond august thirty first second of all to make that happen. He talked about how there had been an expansion in the perimeter. Remember this was. I the kabul airport and then from the civilian side over the military side. Now he's talking about a expansion around the airport itself in third of all he said all this had become possible because of conversations with the taliban especially about providing safe routes to the airport. So you know. He's been dancing with the devil. A little bit here as he's been trying to secure both route out for american citizens and people who have helped us as well as the safety of the. Us troops that have been put into action here so big theme of the president's remarks the american public was about restoring their confidence in him over the withdrawal for afghanistan.
