Senior political analyst Brit Hume blames the Biden administration for rushing the military pull-out.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Alright, Joe Bidens State,
alright Joe Bidens State
Department, said Monday. They
helped four Americans escape
from Afghanistan.
This morning I talked with Cory
Mills about the topic
he told me. He worked with a
group of vets and law makers to
get those Americans out
himself.
The state department didnt help
at all.
Originally our plan was to do
an air evac
that was thwarted by the state,
command and state department.
When we landed our plane, we had
a crew fly over from the FAA to
approve the plane was a
designation of a humanitarian
aircraft.
Twenty five Americans on that plane, nine
thousand feet in decent,
approved Landy slot. They waved
us off.
I hear this over and over
again in different situations.
Foxnews dot com shows state
Department is blocking flights
from lapping at U Dot S air bases.
Even with I dot S citizens onboard
Brit, we are straoeuing to put
this together.
We have no sources on the
ground.
Its been cross checked. Mills is
a hundred first right.
The state department came to
this family after crossing this
countrys board.
What is your thoughts on what we
are seeing?
Its clear Brian
trace this back to the original
decision to get the military out
before the civilians are out and
before this was a reasonable
plan to get them out.
Now we are where we are.
We have people helped by
individual groups, disputes who
was responsible
who helped and who didnt
you have situations with
Americans on planes on the
ground.
The state department may not
want to clear them out.
They dont know who is on the
planes.
Brian we dont know who we have
out so far.
We have tens of thousands of
Afghans out
do we know if they were properly
vetted in the chaotic scene of
people knee deep in sewage and
rushed to the tarmac and rushed
out.
This is this is an absolute
train wreck.
All of the disputes we see now
about people not getting out and
so on are a result of official
decision
stands to reason. They
would be other places in the
country.
Chad told me this morning on
radio, a recon marine working
with a group called save our
allies.
He doesnt believe there are a
hundred left.
He believes over. A thousand are
left from the calls he is
getting.
The state department wont
answer.
I dont believe what the
Secretary of State or president
has told us on this.
Its all proven untrue.
We certainly have seen
instance, after instance. They
said they would do this and did
something else,
the most conspicuous one I
dont think Joe Boyd EN will
ever live down. He promised in a
televised interview. We would
stay for all of the Americans to
get out and he didnt do that
than manifest.
Nobody is pretending they got
all of the Americans out, except
for Chuck Schumer.
He has said I saw it on
videotape. We got all Americans
out that wanted to get out.
Thats, not true.
Nobody in the administration is
say Thagz true,
this is what were confronted
with.
This is a stain that will be a
long time wearing off. If it
does,
I suspect it never will
Brit. I watched thirty five minutes of
meet the press, not a word
about Afghanistan.
It was about poll ratings.
This is a lead story in any
other era.
Why isnt this a lead story? Now
the compelling video cargo
jets people falling off the
side,
human tragedy,
the explosion, killing thirteen
Marines eighteen struggling for their
lives.
How is that not a lead story in
american television?
I think the answer is
obvious. Brian,
we dont have the news coverage
we use to where it was neutral.
Nowadays, journalists get to
indulge their opinions, and many
are editors that want to coster
stories that make their side of
things. The left side look
better.
They dont want to cover stories
that do the opposite.
We see this in spades now, on the
front pages of newspaper, with a
continuing crisis in and about
Afghanistan is being pushed off
the front pages in favor of Joe
Bidens three dollars and fifty cents trillion spending
plan or whatever the next thing
is.
The journalists would like to
see the word move on.
I have more faith in the
american people when it comes to
war and peace and the american
lives
they care more than politicians
understand.
I wish they would roadways up
and make Afghanistan matter.
