while withdrawing close air support and uh and she of course dodged the question i'll circle back around there's some reporting that we like to confirm regarding a call in june in july rather between president biden and former afghanistan president ghani is that accurate can you tell us a little bit more about that well i'm not going to get into private diplomatic conversations or leaked transcripts of phone calls was the president in any way pushing a false narrative in that call with the afghan president i think it's pretty clear again i'm not going to go into details of a private conversation oh you're not going to go into details it's not private anymore it's right out there are you saying it's not true because we've seen it so so her play is this thing that was unclass that was classified has now been leaked the entire american public can see it it's on the headline of every major newspaper in the world i won't comment because it was classified and now you've all read it weird i noticed that she had no problem speaking repeatedly about things like the seal dossier for four years meanwhile we are learning that a majority of afghans who had worked for the us military and applied for special immigrant visas had not been successfully evacuated and remained in afghanistan a senior state department officials said it appeared that a majority a majority are still there according to the senior official i don't have an estimate for you on the number of sivs and family members who are still there i would say it's the majority of them just based on anecdotal information about the populations we were able to support state department spokesperson ned price said that of about NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN people evacuated from afghanistan to the united states between august NUMBER_TOKENth and august NUMBER_TOKENst roughly NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN were afghan allies and family members considered at risk by the taliban the effort was hampered by the unpredictable role of the taliban stationed along routes into the airport the officials said the taliban cooperated in some cases but in other cases blocked afghan nationals from proceeding to the airport according to the official on tuesday based on the initial figures then available from the pentagon nbc news reported NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN afghan allies had been evacuated it was not clear if all of those NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN were applicants for sivs or other expedited visas on wednesday the pentagon then released new figures saying that about NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN afghans had arrived at eight military bases in the united states he said there are also another NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN afghan evacuees but did not provide a breakdown on how many of these people were actually screened who these people were were they sivs were they translators basically what happened is that at the very beginning they just loaded people on planes and took them they didn't screen any of them that's that's probably what was happening at the very beginning the reason i say this is because you could literally see the afghan swarming the runway as all of this was happening all of which has driven the washington post to correctly point out that this is a disaster area they say this is again the washington post editorial board quote this is
