Former Navy SEAL's message to Biden goes viral amid chaos in Afghanistan

AINSLEY: OKAY. GOOD DEAL. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JILLIAN THIS JUST IN "THE WASHINGTON POST" REPORTS CIA DIRECTOR WILLIAM BURNS SECRETLY MET WITH THE TALIBAN'S FEARED KABUL YESTERDAY. THE HIGHEST LEVEL FACE-TO-FACE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN THE TALIBAN AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SINCE THE MILITANT SEIZED KABUL. BUT ONE DECORATED NAVY SEAL GOING VIRAL WITH THE MESSAGE THAT HE WOULD DELIVER IF HE WERE PRESIDENT BIDEN. LISTEN. >> THE NEXT 48 HOURS AMERICA WILL BE IN CONTROL OF MOST MAJOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AFGHANISTAN. ANY RESISTANCE WE MEET FROM THE TALIBAN OR OTHERWISE WHEN WE SEIZE THESE AIRPORTS WILL BE DESTROYED COMPLETELY AND WITHOUT MERCY. ANY PERSON THAT INTERFERES THESE OPERATIONS WILL BE KILLED. AINSLEY: WE BRING IN JOCKO WILLINK THE MAN YOU SAW THERE FRIEND OF THE SHOW. RETIRED SILVER STAR, BRONZE STAR FORMER NAVY COMMANDER OF SEAL TEAM 3. GOOD MORNING, JOCKO. THANKS FOR JOINING US. >> HI, AINSLEY THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON. AINSLEY: I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING YESTERDAY ON INSTAGRAM. POWERFUL MESSAGE. WHY DID YOU FEEL THE NEED TO DO THAT? >> I JUST FELT NOBODY WAS MAKING STATEMENTS TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE SITUATION THAT'S HAPPENING. IF THERE IS NO ONE TAKING OWNERSHIP HOW IS THAT PROBLEM GOING TO GET SOLVED? AINSLEY: IF YOU COULD SIT DOWN WITH JOE BIDEN, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU SAY TO HIM? HOW WOULD YOU TELL HIM TO RESCUE OUR AMERICANS THAT ARE OVER THERE? >> WELL, LISTEN, THE THING IS, YOU CAN'T MAKE EXCUSES AND WE HAVE HEARD OF A LOT OF EXCUSES FROM THE PRESIDENT AT THIS POINT. YOU KNOW, THAT THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH ANY WITHDRAWAL PLAN OR THE PRESIDENT OF AFGHANISTAN RUN AWAY OR I WAS JUST FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THE DEAL FROM THE LAST ADMINISTRATION. AND EXCUSES AND PLACING BLAME ON OTHER PEOPLE. THE PLAN WAS A FAILURE. EXPLAIN WHAT WENT WRONG. TAKE OWNERSHIP OF WHAT WENT WRONG AND THEN COME UP WITH A PLAN ON HOW TO FIX IT THAT'S WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO. AINSLEY: WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU HEARD JEN PSAKI SAY THAT AMERICANS ARE NOT STRANDED OVER THERE? >> I DON'T BELIEVE IT. I MEAN, THERE IS 10,000 PEOPLE ON THE GROUND. THE TALIBAN IS RUNNING AROUND. THERE IS ISIS. THERE IS AL-QAEDA OPERATIVES. THAT'S NOT TRUE AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. AINSLEY: YEAH. "FOX & FRIENDS FIRST" JILLIAN AND CARLEY, THEY INTERVIEWED FAT INTERVIEWED FATMA.HER DAUGHTER . SHE HAS A HARD TIME TALKING TO HER DAUGHTER ON THE PHONE BECAUSE HER DAUGHTER IS SCARED SHE IS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT HOME. THE MOM IS TERRIFIED AND SAYS SHE IS STRANDED. LISTEN TO THIS. >> THIS IS CHAOS. WE ARE KIND OF BACK TO SQUARE ONE, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LEFT HERE FOR TALIBAN AGAIN. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE THAT I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, HOW THINGS ARE GOING TO GO. BUT I REALLY NEED -- I REALLY NEED OUR PRESIDENT TO REALLY CONSIDER THIS SERIOUS. WE ARE IN DANGER. WE ARE IN DANGER, MR. PRESIDENT, PLEASE, HELP US. AINSLEY: JOCKO, THAT'S HEART-BREAKING HAS TO BE FRUSTRATING FOR OUR TROOPS HERE IN AMERICA THAT ARE READY TO GO AND GO AND RESCUE THESE MEASURES. ARE YOU TALKING TO SOME OF THEM AND HEARING THAT MESSAGE? >> YEAH. IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID FIRST OF ALL ABSOLUTELY SICKENING TO HEAR THAT. AND SECOND OF ALL IMRE, AMERICAN TROOPS ARE READY TO GO AND YESTERDAY TO DO WHAT IS NEEDED TO KEEP THOSE PEOPLE SAFE. AINSLEY: WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU HEARD THAT THE CIA DIRECTOR MET FACE TO FACE WITH A TALIBAN LEADER? >> I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS NOT PROGRESS. THIS IS NOT PROGRESS. WE DO NOT -- WE SHOULD NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS. IT'S NOT WHAT WE DO. AINSLEY: I DO WANT TO GET TO THE GOOD GUYS THAT ARE THERE ON THE GROUND. WE HAVE SO MANY AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS DOING WONDERFUL THINGS. THESE IMAMS HAVE BEEN CIRCULATING ON SOCIAL MEDIA OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS THERE WAS AN IMAGE OF OUR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN FEEDING OR POURING WATER FROM INTO THE BABES OF THOSE WAITING TO GET ON PLANES AND TRYING TO HOPEFULLY GET OUT OF THERE AND BE SAVED THERE ARE VIDEOS OF OUR MEN AND WOMEN THAT ARE LIFTING BABIES OVER OF THE WALLS. AND HELPING OUT THE ADULTS AS WELL. YOU GUYS ARE HEROES. WHAT'S YOUR MESSAGE TO THEM. >> WELL, SEEING SOLDIERS AND MARINES BEHAVE LIKE THAT IS NO SURPRISE AT ALL TO ME. THIS IS HOW THEY ARE TRAINED. THIS IS HOW THEY EXPECT TO BEHAVE. THESE ARE THE VALUES THAT THEY LIVE BY. NOT TO MENTION THESE SOLDIERS AND MARINES, THESE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND MOTHERS AND FATHERS AND SONS AND DAUGHTERS THEMSELVES THESE WARRIORS THAT WE SEE ARE HUMAN BEINGS AS WELL AND THEY TAKE THEIR HUMANITY WITH THEM ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD. AND THEIR MISSION THERE IS TO HELP THE FRIENDLY CIVILIANS AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. THEY'RE GOING TO EXECUTE THEIR MISSION. AINSLEY: JOCKO I'M WATCHING THEM DRINK WATER THAT'S CLEAN. I WAS READING THIS MORNING SO MANY OF THE CHILDREN ARE MAL-NOURISHED FECAL MATTER FOUND IN THEIR WATER WHICH IS NOT HEALTHY FOR THEIR CHILDREN. WHY DO YOU SERVE? TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT HELP OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE INNOCENT? >> WELL, THAT'S WHY PEOPLE IN THE U.S. MILITARY SERVE IS TO TRY HELP PEOPLE THAT CAN'T HELP THEMSELV
