charles: edward lawrence thank you very much we want to bring in california congressman darrell issa we felt emptiness and hollowness with the way that this all went down last night i know american's have been left behind, i want your personal feelings of how this entire retreat from afghanistan has gone. >> having represented the marines for 20 years i still have constituents that i talked early this monday my time who are stuck there that's on my mind, was also on my mind having been a soldier for 1970 and 1980 and live through 1975 the corollary is not just people pulling out in a panic from an embassy the corollary when we lost vietnam it set us back in the war against dictatorship of the soviet union and china and it set us back in the cold war and it emboldened our enemies for a generation, we continue to be in a war against islamic extremism we have been since 1979 with iran that is going to continue and that's what's on my mind protector marines by doing the right thing, protector civilians and get them out but recognize we are going the wrong way and stopping islamic extremi

so if the fact is, it's not republican darrell issa saying it. it's the polls that consistently show that half of californians have lost faith in this governor because he does things like say you've got to wear a mask and can't be indoors and then goes to a $2,000 a plate dinner at the french laundry with no masks and laughs at everyone as they drink wine indoors. so we've put up with our governor. it is, in fact, a failed administration. one in which the lights are going off every time we have a hot day. we don't have enough water. and we have higher unemployment with great problems in a state that fundamentally has everything going for it, except the people in sacramento. so the voters will make a decision on it. i support the fact that larry elder has been a thoughtful spokesperson, but he's also been a commentator. he said a lot of things. but if in tens of thousands of hours, you find a few lines, that's not going to get people to forget that he is a thoughtful conservative who has a lot of great ideas. >> all right. congressman darrell issa

joining me now, darrell issa and dan hoffman. congress month, are we going to get our americans out? the white house is now saying there's no guarantee that will happen. >> we're going to get the vast majority of americans out. if they're in kabul, we'll get 'em out. we're working on both u.s. and non-u.s. citizens that are outside of kabul their a ability to move in the country now is extremely difficult. so there will probably be some that a do not get out initially. and that's unavoidable. the important thing is, of course, that every day that goes by the risk to the 5,000 marines and other military personnel grows. the attack we saw will only be repeated if we stay there much longer. elizabeth: you know, dan, the president last night said a forceful response to isis and the terrorists who did the suicide bombings, do you believe that? because, you know, the mistakes are pretty numerous. biden, for example, said the military advised him surrendering bagram air base was the right thing to do, but it shows out of the pentagon it

joining us, congressman darrell issa. i'm hearing kamala is plotting something. >> she is always plotting something. but what seems to be happening is president biden has the same confidence in his vice president has barack obama had in his vice president. obviously she has been less than loyal. she wanted to be there when it looked good. but ducked out when it was bad. she ducked out when they are trying to fix something they don't know how to fix. when president trump left office there were 7,500 marines and the country was stable. now there are 2,500 while they are trying to do an evacuation. they keep making mistakes. the latest of which the reprintable visa blanks causing confusion with tens of thousands of people showing up with no right to show up. jesse: she has been silent on the after began female situation. she is in charge of root causes, congressman. i guess the root cause for this situation is sitting in the oval office. it is interesting how she is getting out of town. she is going to vietnam. >> she is get

gop congressman darrel issa joins us now with the latest. good morning to you, congressman >> good morning, ainsley and thanks for bringing out the challenge we're facing. she was kicked in the stomach but kicked in the stomach while after as she got through the first checkpoint where she remained for hours, waiting for those people at the south point to supposedly come out and get her. it wasn't until it was clear they had closed they weren't taking anyone else for quite a while, that finally, she accepted that she was going to have to go back and hide in her apartment. this was multiple trips. we also have an elderly couple there, we're talking elderly like in their 80's that same thing. repeatedly went to the gate, waited at the gate with their blue passports, and did not get in, so anyone that says that they didn't break a promise to the american people and leave people behind is wrong. anyone who says that there aren't people stranded is wrong. these people were stranded, they did everything they were supposed to do and they simply were

the school district has been in contact with congressman darrell issa. you talked about that. i know a person for the representatives say they're in constant contact with the state department and the pentagon and others on the ground. >> yes. >> so that has to at least -- you mentioned it a moment ago, does it give you some hope at least you have some folks in washington who are particularly paying attention to this? >> yes, we're very grateful for the support. congressman issa, we've been able to share with him all the information that we have. and then he's fortunately been able to share it with the appropriate personnel in order to help us. so we feel hopeful. worried, yes, but hopeful. >> oh, boy. okay. well, we are going to be thinking about you, so can you please update us, and best of luck to everyone involved. thank you so much. >> absolutely, thank you so much. >>> did the coronavirus leak from a wuhan lab or emerge naturally? an unclassified report is due out any day. could we get answers? >> you had a first class facility, high class virologists, and well-trained st

darrell issa is back. welcome back sir. what are your office doing helping these people the freedom? >> right now we are trying to speak to and to call him as best we can three separate families that we are tracking. two of them i will be more specific about. two of them were in this zone had gotten through the first taliban checkpoint and were waiting, and waiting as we sent information back and forth and no one came out to get them for that was at the southgate and it during a they said they were extracting. kennedy, the best way to put this is they were entitled to get out. they did what they were told. they were in the great city, at the right gate, vent a little bit like an airplane that leaves at half an hour before it is supposed too and you show up, you are frustrated. these people had 22 hours at left, left early and left people behind who had been beaten, who had been harassed, and by the way these are american citizens. it's not even the other groups he sometimes talk about for these are u.s. citizens who wanted

we're extremely grateful for congressman darrell issa's office and his support in helping us get families out. >> so what do you understand now in terms of what have u.s. officials told them about getting to the kabul airport safely? obviously, it's got to be terrifying. it was terrifying before, but now they're saying more imminent attacks and there was an attack at the key abbey gate today. >> they're absolutely tarified. i can't reveal or know what the process is to get them out. that's a very confidential process, and of course, their safety is our number one priority right now. >> so i know the families didn't all travel there together. and we know that five families are still stuck there. the latest as i understand, that three families have made it. >> with the help of congressman issa, they were able to get three families out. we know one family has returned to the united states, and two, we believe, are en route. but we know those three families are out of afghanistan right now. with the help of congressman issa, we were able to get them out. we, again, are -- it's a fluid situati

we've learned from congressman darrell issa that some of those families and children have gotten out safely. darrell issa thanking the team working tirelessly to get people but he also wants to put the attention on much more work left to do under extremely difficult situations. now another important point we need to remind our viewers, neil, is that while secretary blinken yesterday warned of the quote, hostile environment and likelihood that we could be facing an attack from isis-k, now confirmed, that he would be dependent after the august 31st deadline on the taliban's cooperation in getting americans or afghan allies out. that now is on an entirely different footing because we do not know how long the threat will be or the attacks will continue possibly at the airport, meaning that we may now be in a situation with how many americans are left behind. they will be dependent whatever comes after that deadline this coming tuesday. now if you break down the roughly 1500 we don't have an update on the status. we do know the state department was in direct contact with about 500 of them

joining me now to talk about this and the president's address is republican congressman darrell issa of california. this was more than just one president's war, as you understand. what is your response to what president biden just said a few minutes ago and doesn't former president trump shoulder some of the blame in all of this? he cut this deal with the taliban. of course, biden embraced it and you and other republicans up on capitol hill were applauding this pull out of afghanistan months ago. the plans for it months ago. what do you say now? >> well, first of all, i would have left bagram air base open. i never applauded the idea of closing a strategic base any more than i would say that we should abandon the two air bases we have in south korea. the fact is china is a greater threat today than it ever has been. and just as we keep those two bases and 28,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines in south korea, 2,500 was not an unreasonable amount to keep. many of them overseeing the kind of aircraft that allowed the afghan military to keep the enemy at bay. policies of democracy, p

ainsley: darrel issa' office says we will not stop until we have answers and actions. brian: he tweeted out this. at least 24 students are strand ed in afghanistan. you heard the word stranded, right? i'm working diligently to determine the best way to help those trapped kids return home safely. i won't stop until we get answers, and action. they had tickets to come home on august 15. obviously, they were too scared to get out. so the taliban actually wanted to show sincerity in a situation like that, you escort, you could escort them there. you could locate them and allow u.s. escort them back. last night blackhawks went up. we only got a couple dozen people out i think three blackhawk flights and a lot more room on that so to me there's got to be huge extractions, very quickly. ainsley: what's sad is to know that those 20 some odd students are there, trying to get out and you see images of the empty plane. there were only 50 people on this plane. do we have that picture? jackie showed it earlier. look at this just a few people on the plane there were a total of 50 th

in a tweet from darrell issa, the children range from preschool to high school. you said you were working to get people out. they are directing people not to go to the airport. what are they supposed to do if the airport has been closed? >> still call the state department because we need to figure out where you are. there are operations leading from the airfield. i won't go into detail, to pick up u.s. citizens. continue to give us information about where you are so we know exactly where you are so we can pass on that information and plan to work with other people like i've been working to get this done. the other thing i would say is that it was very inappropriate for those family members to go to afghanistan. there were direct warnings from the state department they should not have gone. it is an unstable region in the summer there were multiple, multiple warnings, and i just want to point out this is the kind of thing you should be listening to the state department because now we're going to put men and women's lives in danger trying to go get these groups of

we know darrell issa is struggling so hard to get more and more people in his district out. said a few hours ago guided american citizen tosca bull airport. after repeatedly being turned back by the taliban, they have given up. american university who we're told okay, get on this bus, go to the airport, about 300 students, you know, they believed they had a shot at life. they believed that the americans were in this to give them a shot to be successful. they loaded in those buses. they got to the airport. and were rejected right away. but, tony blinken says don't worry we have mechanisms to get people out after the 31st. mechanisms. does that mean we are going to pay ransom to get people out? they say there is hundred that need to get out. we know that number is higher. because they haven't evacuated anyone, no one believes, outside of kabul. think about this. you have the whole country. you can't ever get people out of capitol, let alone the rest of the nation. they say some americans are choosing to stay. that's because you are telling them you can go but your family can't
