i am chris cuomo and welcome to "prime time." let's look at that of the last service member to leave afghanistan today. this will be in history books. pentagon just put it out. they say the war has ended. army major general chris donahue. commanding general of the 82nd airborne boarding a c-17 to depart kabul. lifted off at 11:59 p.m. local. just before the clock struck midnight. so, that means it's august 31st in afghanistan right now. right? remember that date. arbitrary. set by the biden administration. it's about 5:30 in the morning there now. the taliban knows the united states is gone, and is celebrating with gunfire. now, their government

i'm chris cuomo. this is a special, live, late-night edition of "cuomo prime time." and we are doing it because it is 8:30 on friday morning in kabul, where our evacuation mission goes on despite a day of truly profound tragedy. deadly attacks that took the lives of 13 u.s. service members thursday. injured 18 others. some, very seriously. we are also hearing that as many as 60 afghan citizens were killed, over 120 injured. m many, gravely. it's the deadliest day for our forces in the country in a decade. so what will daybreak bring for heroes on the front lines? again, a lot of afghans were hurt. a lot of afghans are afraid. a lot of afghans and the american troops know that what happened just hours ago, claimed by isis-k. this new off-chute of a well-known terror organization could happen again. and crowds are forming and the desperation to get out is winning over their fear of staying away. and president biden is vowing revenge. >> and we're outraged, as well as heartbroken. for those that carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes america harm, know th

let's hand things over to chris for "cuomo primetime." chris? >> about my brother's situation and i have a note on that. first tonight, i want us to deal with the crisis that is coming at all of us. this is afghanistan. and it is a nightmare. innocent masses begging america not to leave them to vicious extremism. but that is what has happened. this picture is also making the rounds. proof of america saving hundreds on a cargo plane. but be clear, 640 men, women and

let's hand it over to chris for "cuomo prime time." chris. >>> hello and welcome to prime time. here is the good news. the administration is now on message. all americans must be evacuated from afghanistan. but can they make it happen? that question looms as we are learning more about the truth. and the truth is this chaos was not inevitable. our secretary of state was warned by his own people on the ground in kabul of

let's go to chris for "cuomo prime time." >>> we have an exclusive tonight. it's not about covid. but our guest and her message is as powerful as any remedy i know. night bird is here with us tonight, for her first interview since announcing she's out of america's got talent to focus on her fight against cancer. >>> of course, we're focused on covid. and we have news. first, there is concern about a new variant, and we'll get into it with our first guest in a moment. the word comes as we're getting

i'm going to hand it over to chris for "cuomo primetime." >>> thanks. we have tony fauci to make on the vaccine confusion and mask madness. but first, of afghanistan. you havinee iseen our reporting others. you know the desperation on the ground, it's youobvious. you know the americans are not sure if they'll bring them home. the question is what will our government do about that reality? that is our focus here. and the answers so far, frankly, are too slow and too little. how can you accept the state

we'll head over to chris for cuomo primetime. >> we need a lot more happy endings. thank you very much anderson. welcome to "primetime." we really need to figure out what we are about in this country. our government learns there are terror threats at the kabul airport and their reaction is to tell americans who are desperate and dying to get out to leave. are you kidding me? here is the u.s. government warning issue just now. because of security threats outside the gates of kabul airport we are advising u.s. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a u.s. government representative to do so. those who are at the abbey gate, east gate, or north gate now should leave immediately. question, why isn't the answer to bring americans into the airport to keep them safe? especially if you can really say that these are americans? why are you sending them away? what would you do to people that you care about when you learned they were threatened? would you send them away or want to keep them
