I newsrun up information overload hour apparently some things happen on this call with the g7 and Biden yesterday is they were trying to convince him to stay beyond the

August 31st deadline that he's adhering to because he's capitulated completely to the Taliban, which is remarkable in and of itself.

Even the media mob it recognizes how awful this is going to be even NBC Richard Angle their reporter is called at a moment of American humiliation.

You could also look at this as a tremendously humiliating moment of American humiliation leaving forced to leave on the Taliban's clock and with the Taliban's good graces.

So technically it makes sense, but I'm not sure how history will I think history will judge this moment as a very dark period for the United States.

I think he actually is right and on so many different levels now one of the things to come out we know that that Joe Biden was on the phone is about four or five hours late yesterday for his press conference.

It was beyond the odd and weird and then comes out starts talking about great economic success and five trillion in new spending and everything but Afghanistan and when he finally got around to Afghanistan.

Everything that had been reported earlier in the day turns out to be true he's sticking to the August 31st deadline because he's allowing himself to be bullied by the Taliban.

The same guy that could have very easily in May June July as the Taliban was on the march. We didn't want to engage them like Donald Trump would have obliterated them because they weren't allowed to take over large geographical portions of Afghanistan as part of the Trump deal.

Trump would have kept for ground Air Force base for example.

But anyway as soon as they took 5% of the country Trump would have bombed them into oblivion oblivion but Joe didn't do that nobody seemed to notice the March although we have every indication that the Intel community knew damn well what was happening which is why the CIA pulled out six seven weeks ago.

They got out and every indication is is that everything that they knew they were passing on in the Biden White House and they were completely ignored and now we're hearing we just heard from Congressman Mike Waltz of Florida that in fact everything that the real briefings behind the scene totally completely contradict the lies being told by Jen Saki and Joe Biden.

You just can't make this up it's sad for the country anyway Europe's leaders were trying desperately apparently yesterday according to reports to get the president and this is France Germany Italy UK US Canada Japan as well as the heads of NATO.

Even the UN and the EU convened to discuss the situation you know in a joint statement they said that the immediate priorities to ensure the safe evacuation of our citizens and those Afghans who have partnered with us and assisted our efforts over the past 20 years and ensure continued safe passage out of Afghanistan with the Taliban has already put an end to that they're not allowing any Afghans to make it to cars I international airport the only the only way out of that country.

Anyway so they they've tried to get Biden to extend the deadline and push the Taliban back on their heels Joe refused and every indication according to everybody we're talking to is a strong belief that Americans will be left behind which is unfathomable to me anyway joining us now is David Lawyan he is a BBC journalist he got a book out actually on the war in Afghanistan called the long war.

The inside story of America in Afghanistan since 9 11 he's been covering the events there since 1996 and he's reporting on the Taliban when they took a couple for the first time.

He can give us an insider's view of this terror organization what happened yesterday David thank you for being with us are you.

It's it's really good to be on the show high.

Now I do like a lot of the reporting that comes out of Great Britain I wish they let peers Morgan talk there I mean it's a little frustrating some of your laws there a little try to do a job and you try to do a job in the US for a while but you fell out with me.

Yeah no I kicked his ass and then he acknowledges that part he went up against me but I'm kidding we've actually become very good friends I like the daily mail I love I love a lot of the media coverage there it's you know it's it's fascinating but your media laws

and some levels are better than what we have here on other levels is stifling you know the idea that Harry's wife Megan Markle can go out there and complain to the British government to try and silence peers Morgan is you know unfathomable to me.

So I'm not a very good person to be able to say anything he wants and anything he feels and clearly people wanted to hear from them but let me ask you this what can you tell us about this g seven meeting yesterday and how I was told that our European partners were a gas that they couldn't
