we could just release the money to the current afghan government, who are the taliban. the treasury department could just do that. now, there's an argument that we don't know if we can trust the taliban to use the money to make the lives of their citizens better. that's completely, a valid point. the taliban clearly has done many, many awful things. and people don't trust them, rightly. but, it's also pretty clear that the taliban and the afghan government isn't just playing broke, the country is extremely poor. all of the aid got cut off. afghanistan is in extremely dire straits. -- poverty line, of $1.90 per day. humanitarian groups, the ones -- ten towards hyperbole are telling us that half the population, more than half the population, already don't have enough to eat. so, whether you trust the taliban or not, we can be guaranteed, that if nothing changes in the status quo, a truly unfathomable humanitarian disaster is going to follow. if nothing changes, the nothing changes. the first up to do is to change something. there is more that the united states can be doin

has sanctions against the taliban, has not recognized the taliban government, both of which i understand why those are in place. we also put a freeze on about $9 billion in the afghanistan government's assets which are actually held here which means they can't access it. human rights group estimate as many as 20 million afghans facing famine in a country that is of the poorest in the world. what possible justification is there for the u.s. government to keep freezing those assets or block aid or recognition to the taliban if the result of it is 10s of millions of people facing starvation. >> i would say, chris, the rationale is the horrible acts of the taliban regime, that's why the assets are frozen. i do think, though, we have to be part of finding a humanitarian solution to avoid a humanitarian crisis in afghanistan and it's something we're working on here everyday. >> okay. ron klain, i really appreciate your time tonight, thank you very much. >> thanks for having me chris, i appreciate it. >> all right. we have a new name to add to the january 6 committee's potential witness list, i

has sanctions against the taliban. has not recognize the taliban government. both of which i understand why those are in place. we've also put a freeze on about nine billion dollars in the afghan government's assets. which are actually held he'll. which means that they can't access it. human rights activists recognize that 20 million afghans are facing famine. a country that is one of the poorest in the world. what possible justification is the for the u.s. government to keep freezing those assets, to blockade, and the recognition of the taliban, if the result of it as tens of millions of people facing starvation. >> well i would say chris, the rationale is the horrible acts of the taliban regime. and that is why these assets are frozen. i do think though, we have to be part of finding a humanitarian solution to avoid a humanitarian crisis in afghanistan. that is something that we are working on here, every day. >> okay, thank you, ron klain i really appreciate your time, thank you very much. >> we have a new name to add to the january six committee's potentia

afghanistan is now in the hands of the taliban and a humanitarian disaster largely predicted by his own national security team is unfolding. the head of the world food program in afghanistan had this warning. >> since the 15th of august, the economic has come on top of all the other factors has just created this tsunami of hunger and malnutrition, 2300 people cannot put one plate of food on the table on a daily basis. >> iran continues to test the u.s. and allies, firing missiles and swarming drones at abu dhabi airport and nuclear talks with iran is stalled, and time is running out for an iran deal and north korea tested multiple ballistic missiles, which they fear may have a hypersonic weapon. tension in the south china sea was an all-time high, sending waves of war planes toward taiwan and summit in march off the rails. >> chinese were lecturing at the americans, americans lecturing at the chinese, felt it was spiralling out of control. >> putin is poised with more than 100,000 troops to invade ukraine. a series of background calls tuesday warning the sudden movement of russian force

certainly after walking away from our 20-year ally in afghanistan and surrendering the country to the taliban, a lot to do with why putin is taking this action to begin with. so when you make a statement like that, even though you walk it back, the reality is it has created doubt, doubt in the minds of our allies, ukrainians and the people in the region, and certainly as you mentioned putin, it gives him some sense of where is really biden. is this kind of like obama with more rhetoric than anything else? i mean, i think that's clearly what's happening here, and then biden made this other strange statement, putin has to do something. well, the idea of our deterrents to prevent him from doing anything. and why do we give him that ground that putin has -- you know what strikes me is these are conversations that president biden had with his national policy and foreign policy experts and just the way he rolled those, that statement out, it was instinctive to him. so actions are things they have discussed among themselves. rolling it back is important, has to be done. >> john: as you point out, uk

administration which has failed to uphold the deterrent model the trump administration had, whether the taliban and afghanistan, or nord stream 2, or other places around the world, what president biden said about minor incursions precisely a fit of the appeasement model with the iranians in vienna, and does not bode well for the things that matter the most to the united states. >> john: jacqui heinrich yesterday in the white house asked president biden why he was not more proactive in his approach to putin. play that exchange here and your take on it. >> why are you waiting -- president responded what a stupid question. and said it's not a stupid question, it's a really important one, we allow putin to set the terms and timeline of the crisis, it's time we are creative and protecting our own conditions. too passive here, mr. secretary? >> no doubt. 366 days now, right, john, one year of the biden administration on the back foot since we allowed the pipeline to continue to be built by the russians but not here at home, we hurt america's energy industry and put ourselves at risk. watched vladimir

are we normandy, the berlin wall or leaves or allies to the taliban without a squeak and no accountability? >> dana: well spoken, john. if you want to see the video it's up on youtube now. it is a heartfelt song and there are a lot of people that need the help. john, thanks so much. >> thanks, dana. >> bill: well done. you go, john. good luck on that. we'll follow it. mental health nightmare for kids now. schools shutting down leaving the kids isolated and falling behind in normal development. the growing national emergency coming up in a moment. the push to fire nancy pelosi as house speaker in november. how dozens of democrats are helping republicans before the mid-terms. veteran homeowners. while some banks and lenders are raising their rates newday is holding the line with their two and a quarter refi. that's 2.25%, with an apr of 2.48. this is their lowest rate in history. the newday two and a quarter refi can cut thousands of dollars off your mortgage payments. there's no money out of pocket and no up front costs. lock in your rate. i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams

he is in a refugee camps after saving his wife and son from the taliban. >> i served in afghanistan, my heart goes out to the afghan people especially the women and young girls who are being treated so horribly by the taliban regime. my concern is lie with that and with the report that came out of the pentagon last september that says later this year afghanistan will become a safe haven again to terrorist organizations who are willing, ready and able to launch international attacks coming from afghanistan. this is a question of competence the way the biden administration handled the pull-out by withdrawing droops without evacuating our own -- our allies. people who helped us along the way. we have 83,000 afghans who were unvetted who hopped on our planes. there are so many issues related to competence that will have long term effects not on our country but the rest of the world for a long time to come done by this administration. >> dana: appreciate your time. >> bill: so democratic senator amy klobuchar calling out russia over ukraine. have a listen here. >> so our message is there

it shows it undercuts this narrative that the taliban will work with us against isis, kind of good terrorists against bad terrorists, when it comes to attacking the united states, all terrorists are aligned appeared this is case in point. an isa suicide bomber infiltrated us. we have 13 dead soldiers and marines. >> dana: and we will not forget. happy new year to you. >> okay, thank you, dana. >> dana: it was a wild day in the nfl with a bizarre inis to antonio brown's career as a tampa bay buccaneers. storming off a field in a game against the jets. tossing his gloves and walking up the field. the team's coach said that he is no longer a buccaneer. meanwhile, very scary moment in washington. a partial railing collapsed at fedexfield sending fans coming to the ground where they almost landed on top of philadelphia quarterback jalen hurts. he was walking to the locker room. make sure everyone else was okay which they wear. he posed for photos with them. i think that was a good outcome. >> trace: tom brady said antonio brown need some help which he -- jalen hurts is a great guy if you don't kno

. >> dana: pregnant new zealand journalist stuck in afghanistan has turned to the taliban for refuge because she says her country won't allow her to return home because of strict quarantine rules. she wrote in an op-ed when the taliban offers you a pregnant unmarried woman safe haven you know your situation is messed up. she joins us now. i couldn't get your story out of my head all weekend. congratulations, there will be a baby. what's interesting is you write you thought you would never be able to get pregnant and now here you are. tell us about that time when you had to leave qatar and wanted to get home. >> it is so surreal the situation we find ourselves in. i was a journalist in all jaziri covering afghanistan. i asked the taliban what will you do to insure to protect women and children and i got pregnant and it was the beginning of quite an unpredictable situation where i went back to qatar where it is illegal to be pregnant and not married. i had no way to get out. new zealand's borders were closed and i thought what am i going to do and where do i go? we went to my partner's

have been left behind and now abandoned and hunted down by the taliban. critics say when the u.s. military abandoned the bag gram air base leaving the keys to the taliban it contributed to the decline of the afghan forces leading to the fall of kabul. many critics taking a shot at dr. anthony fauci for making the following prediction about the coronavirus in june. given the country as the whole the fact we have 50% of adults fully vaccinated, 62% of adults having received at least one dose as a nation i feel fairly certain you won't see the kind of surges we've seen in the past. senator rand paul hit back on dr. fauci saying he has been wrong in just about everything including testing. >> if you test everyone all the time for no symptoms it leads to lockdown. so really the shortage of tests is also a bad public policy saying let's test everyone. i think we should test people who are sick and i think we should quarantine the sick but not those who are not sick. >> southern border record number of illegal my grants, the most encounters on record. >> lucas t

separately this is a person that the taliban and al qaeda have repeatedly called for the release of over many years going back to 2010 and 2011. there have been calls for her release. the leader of al qaeda at the time actually mentioned her specifically in terms of her release. so this isn't just your average terrorist that this is in relation to. this is someone quite significant, a major catch when it was done in 2008 and a major trial when it happened. so they're definitely going to be looking for a larger intelligence plot. you would be concerned if you were the fbi about copycats. is there anybody else that might undertake an attack or in communication with al qaeda planners, coordinators, or taliban planners and coordinators? it's only been a few months since we left afghanistan. they're going to try to explore the international terrorism dimensions, and it will be a tough chore, especially working with international partners trying to really bring what may or may not be a lone actor. >> this has been going on since 11:00 a.m. central time. good sign or bad sign of how this is goi

if you were al-qaeda, taliban, any of these international terrorist groups like isis, this brings more attention to the scenario and it looks like a religious attack. this is not uncommon. if you look back over the last 20 to 30, even 40 years, synagogues have been a longtime target of these islamic extremist groups. if it's tied to aafia siddiqui, that would seen logical. >> all right. we're going to be following the story throughout the evening. >> clint is sticking with us. >>> ahead on martin luther king jr. weekend, honoring his legacy, marches in arizona calling for action on voting rights. congressman mondaire johnson was there. he joins us next. he joins us next (mindy) yep!
