RUSH TRANSCRIPT the Pentagon ░░░░░░░░ today the number of ░░░░░░░░ airlifted out of Afghanistan ░░░░░░░░ August 14 th now ░░░░░░░░ at over 37 thousand ░░░░░░░░ exact number of Americans ░░░░░░░░ that overall total however ░░░░░░░░ unconfirmed It seems like ░░░░░░░░ time there is an ░░░░░░░░ we hear two thousand ░░░░░░░░ evacuated overnight of which ░░░░░░░░ 200 were American Seeing ░░░░░░░░ the Taliban is now ░░░░░░░░ about violence if we ░░░░░░░░ past August 31 st ░░░░░░░░ d think the single ░░░░░░░░ priority right now would ░░░░░░░░ getting every last American ░░░░░░░░ before then yet we ░░░░░░░░ seeing the opposite As ░░░░░░░░ stands these evacuees are ░░░░░░░░ flown to temporary safe ░░░░░░░░ across Europe and the ░░░░░░░░ East including in Qatar ░░░░░░░░ nation with dubious ties ░░░░░░░░ the Taliban which we ░░░░░░░░ to always look the ░░░░░░░░ way on But those ░░░░░░░░ havens are just that ░░░░░░░░ Because the entire world ░░░░░░░░ the u s to ░░░░░░░░ accommodate thousands of refugees ░░░░░░░░ many as 30 to ░░░░░░░░ thousand depending on which ░░░░░░░░ or political pundit you ░░░░░░░░ listening to The Afghan ░░░░░░░░ being brought to the ░░░░░░░░ s are to be ░░░░░░░░ at bases in Wisconsin ░░░░░░░░ New Jersey and Texas ░░░░░░░░ pentagon officials speaking to ░░░░░░░░ daily caller say that ░░░░░░░░ point five percent or ░░░░░░░░ of the refugees processed ░░░░░░░░ far have been flagged ░░░░░░░░ having possible ties to ░░░░░░░░ These evacuees have been ░░░░░░░░ from traveling to the ░░░░░░░░ s however it s ░░░░░░░░ a complete ban as ░░░░░░░░ can undergo a more ░░░░░░░░ depth round of screening ░░░░░░░░ see if they can ░░░░░░░░ their status changed And ░░░░░░░░ not just me saying ░░░░░░░░ the u k armed ░░░░░░░░ minister announced similar concerns ░░░░░░░░ saying quote there are ░░░░░░░░ right now in kabul ░░░░░░░░ to get on to ░░░░░░░░ flights that we have ░░░░░░░░ in our checks as ░░░░░░░░ on the U K ░░░░░░░░ fly list So the ░░░░░░░░ that are being done ░░░░░░░░ entirely necessary because there ░░░░░░░░ people trying to take ░░░░░░░░ of this process to ░░░░░░░░ into the U K ░░░░░░░░ cause us harm Part ░░░░░░░░ the reason why this ░░░░░░░░ is because the State ░░░░░░░░ was sending out blank ░░░░░░░░ s visas to everyone ░░░░░░░░ kabul another reason is ░░░░░░░░ we forget about green ░░░░░░░░ blue attacks in which ░░░░░░░░ forces killed coalition forces ░░░░░░░░ includes u s troops ░░░░░░░░ attacks appear to have ░░░░░░░░ around 20 12 accounting ░░░░░░░░ 15 percent of coalition ░░░░░░░░ that year and as ░░░░░░░░ as 20 20 two ░░░░░░░░ were killed during a ░░░░░░░░ with an Afghan soldier ░░░░░░░░ was not thought to ░░░░░░░░ a Taliban infiltrator Of ░░░░░░░░ we all want to ░░░░░░░░ people in need all ░░░░░░░░ m asking is that
