• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Americans left behind. That is going to be the legacy
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of Joe Biden, and he clearly doesn't even seem to care.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: In fact, he's been trying to get votes on reconciliation
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: with tax and budget issues. We've been told over the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: last several days not working on getting Americans out of Afghanistan.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: The Pentagon says roughly nineteen thousand have been evacuating the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: last twenty four hours. The only problem overwhelming majority of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: those are not American citizens, and the White House now
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: admitting yes, yes, Americans will be left behind. Yesterday or
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: two days ago, Jensaki yelled at a Fox Chage reporter saying, quote,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it's irresponsible to say that Americans are stranded. They are not.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Today Jen Psaki saying this at the White House. If
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: one US citizen was suddenly discovered, you know, was saying, Hey,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I really want to get out and I'm stuck. Who knows,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: well somewhere enough kind of style in coublem he's got
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: any problem? Would this trigger a I'm not a military
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: lhiseldecks things to get bustling out. Whatever the things, our
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: commitment continues to be to US citizens if they want
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to leave, we will help get them out again. We
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: expect there could be some, but I don't I'm not
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: going to get into it further. Go ahead, Yeah, we're
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: not going to get into that further. Yes, we expect
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: there could be some Americans left behind. Yes, there could
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: be some Americans left in Afghanistan after the evacuation deadline
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of August the thirty first. I am asking each of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you that are listening to this right now to do
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: me a favor. Please share this with your family and friends,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: share the link to this on social media, because we
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: need to publicly shame this administration for leaving Americans behind
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and planning on doing it now. The White House, also
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: being psychotic, said maybe not psychotic, let's just call it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: flat out delusional, saying that they wouldn't say Afghanistan with
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: draws but anything but a success thus far. Say that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: this is now on track, Peter, to be the largest
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: airlift in US history. So, and that is bringing American
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: citizens out, it is bring our Afghan partners out, it
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: is bringing allies out. So no, I would not say
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that is anything but a success. It's a success, folks,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Even if we leave Americans behind, it is a success.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The Department of Defense was caught by social media users
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: doing a pr spin is A sent out a tweet
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: using a photo of what they claimed was an American
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Air Force C seventeen aircraft evacuating Afghans, been said was
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: one that actually belonged to the United Air of Emirates.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's how much crap we're having to deal with, the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Department of Defense can't even tell the difference now between
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: an American plane and a United Air of Emirates plane.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Afghan civilians boy board a US Air Force C seventeen
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Globe Master at the International Airport. See we're doing great,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the DD tweeted. The DD shared three photographs as tweet.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Many individuals quickly pointed out that the plane isn't even
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: one of our planes. It wasn't even a US Air
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Force plane. It was a UAE Air Force plane. It's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: clearly set on the fuselage of the airplane. So they're
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: trying now to take credit for airplanes that are actually
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: leaving that aren't even American airplanes. And you know it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: bad when NBC News is live report from Kabo last
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: night had this to say about what's happening on the ground.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Then if you'd step back and you look at what
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is going on. This is the United States after twenty years.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: This war used to be called Operation Enduring Freedom, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it's turned out not to be enduring. And they're not
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: leaving behind a society that is free. It is only
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: free according to what the Taliban says it will be
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: free and if the Taliban promises that it will be free.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So you could also look at this as a tremendously humiliating,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a moment of American humiliation. Leaving forced to leave on
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the Taliban's clock, humiliation. US forced to leave on the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Talban clock is a moment of humiliation. The White House
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: saying the President is refusing to extend the deadline. Now
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Germany is even criticizing the United States of America for
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: what I just described there. What we now know is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that Americans are going to be left behind, and this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is being preplanned. What we know now is that Americans
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: are not only going to be left behind, but they're
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: even sending out tweets and they're sending out messages and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: text message to Americans left on the ground. Usmbassy in
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan today actually sent out a quote final message, final
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: message for Americans wanting to leave Kabbal with government help.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Told them to bring their husband or wife and children
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: under twenty one only. The text message that went out
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to these people from the State Department says American citizens only.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So in other words, if you're an interpreter, if you're
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: somebody else up to Americans were screwing you two, You're
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: going to die in the hands of the Taliban. Isis
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: how kind of good luck? We hope you enjoy your death.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: All capital letters. This is a tweet or excuse me,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a tech sent to an American citizen. This is the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: final message for American citizens who wish to depart coup bole.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: American citizens who choose to remain in Afghanistans should be
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: prepared to range their own departure without assistance in the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: US government. The United States Embassy under the present nine
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Stents America just issued their last alert to citizens to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: leave Afghanistan or they're on their own. After massive PR
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: backlash and only PR backlash, the US Embassy recalled that message.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: We're being now told thirty minutes later. I think the message, though,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is pretty clear they meant final warning was meant. The
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: US Embassy has quickly withdrawn their final warning which said
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that Americans who choose to remain Afghanistans should be prepared
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to reigns their own departure without any assistance in the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: US government. US a backlash. You want to know who
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: un covered this final message? The New York Times. Even
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the New York Times now is turning on Joe Biden
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: because they realize that their friends on the ground Afghanistan
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: are going to die. The embassy recalled the alert thirty
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: months after it was sent. According to NBC News, as
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Richard Engele, US Embassy issued last alert for you assizens
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to leave Afghanistan or they're on their own. Now they're
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: recalling it, but the damage has already been done. We
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: now know what they're telling you is probably the truth.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: You're on your own. Quote. We send an email to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: American citizens earlier that was recalled for technical reasons. The
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: State Department spokesman told the Daily Car Caller. Well, it's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: already been written. We already know what it says. It's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: already there. You can recall the email and try to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: pull it back. You already wrote it. Now Americans know
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: what your intent is to leave them behind to die. Quote.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We shortly thereafter send a revised email and recipient should
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: follow the instructions in that message for security reasons. Oh,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: isn't it nice to just go for security reasons? Right?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: For security reasons. We are not going to get into
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: further details. Yeah, I bet you're not. President Joe Biden
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: announced Tuesday that it would not extend the American militaries
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: or draw deadline even if Americans remain trapped in Afghanistan.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The administration's internal numbers show that thousands of Americans, maybe
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: even more than ten thousand Americans, are likely to remain
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: stranded in the country, and this administration is fine with it. Now,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Democrats are finally doing their damn jobs, joining Republicans calling
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: on Biden to extend the deadline, although the Taliban and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: said it will give will view this doing so as
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a red line and extending the occupation will be met
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: with well gunfire. I'm certainly of the view that we
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: maintain a military presence as long as it's necessary to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: get all us persons out, and I mean our moral
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and ethical obligations to the Afghan partners. Is now what
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Democratic California crazy representive Adam Shift said on Monday, The
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: same guy that was obsessed with impeaching Donald Trump. The
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: same guy that lied about the dossier, the same guy
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that's been lying to you for four years about conservatives
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: like Donald Trump, is now actually doing the right thing.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: The President needs to forget about the August thirty first deadline.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Adam Schiff said, we need to send anop American personnel,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: military personnel to rescue our people and buy that way,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: there are more American soldiers there now than before the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: President made the decision to leave. Extend the deadline, get
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: outside the perimeter. Make sure that every single American who
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: wants to leave was able to get out with our
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: assistants and our Afghan allies, is what Kentucky Senator Mitch
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: McConnell said as well. Only crazy Democrats are the ones
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: still standing by Joe Biden. I mean, I'm talking about
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the lunatics. I'm talking about the Native American Elizabeth Warren,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: who's not Native American. Those are the only people that
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: are standing by this guy. Elizabeth Warren actually came out
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: trying to help defend Biden overnight, saying, quote, Biden made
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the right decision on Afghanistan. Democrats like Elizabeth Warren, these
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: pathological liars, Remember she's the native American right continue to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: support Joe Biden despite the singing poll numbers and widespread
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: backlash on the fact that we now know he is
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: deliberately leaving Americans behind, Elizabeth Warren saying quite, he absolutely
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: made the right decision. Many of the most critical voices
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you're hearing right now are the same people who got
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: us into this war and who think we should stay forever.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Some are bought and paid for by by the defense industry.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So let me say on equivocally, President Biden made the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: right decision of a draw our troops. That's what she posted.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: She said, Now it is our more responsibility to immediately
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: admit more refugees and to assure the safety of those
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: who aid of the United States through the conflict. What
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: about Americans? She didn't even mention Americans. She actually put
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the refugees ahead of the Americans. She goes on to tweet,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: as of this morning, the US has evacuated thirty seven
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: thousand individuals from Afghanistan. We need to continue at this pace.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Not one thing to she even say about American citizens.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: This is how much of a scumbag Elizabeth Warren actually is.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: She's more concerned about refugees than she is about American
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: citizens getting out. And if you want to know what
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the Deep State thinks, XCIA director, that scumbag that attacked
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and try to put him in prison and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: all of his family and friends. Yeah, the XCI director
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: says it's a good idea to send unvaxed Trump supporters
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of Taliban controlled Afghanistan. That's what he actually said. The
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Deep State is no longer hiding its sustained for conservative
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Americans or for those who have made their own decisions
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: when it comes to getting vaccinated against the coronavirus. In fact,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: one of the most powerful men wrote on Twitter that
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: he would like to see patriotic Americans who are in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: favor of medical choice be forced to relocate to war zones.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Retired Air Force General Michael Hayden, the former head of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the CIA and the National Security Agency, wrote that it
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: would be a quote good idea to send unvaccinated supporters
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: a former President Donald Trump defend for themselves in Talban
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: controlled Afghanistan in response to a tweet about Afghans being
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: evacuated by our military. The cold hearted swamp creature needed
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: but a few words to unmask himself as a scumbag.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Can we send the magawearing unvaccinated to Afghanistan? No, you're
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: sending the plane back empty. A Twitter user also posted
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Hayden shared the tweet and post a comment of his own, saying,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: good idea. This is General Michael Hayden saying this. Hayden
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: has apparently no concern for the thousands of Americans currently
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: stranded in Afghanistan by the Biden administration. He'd rather see
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: conservatives suffer along with the humiliating defeat of the US
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and Afghanistan, because this is the swamp, the Washington establishment,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon, the deep state swamp. People just like this
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: former general spent two decks kids dictating and telling us
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: what we are and aren't going to do, and then
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden Trump comes in. They don't get
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: their way, and now they say, well, if you don't
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: do what we tell you to do again, we think
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you should be all Trump supporters should be sent to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the terrorists and they'll deal with you. Hayden is an
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: embarrassment to the United States military. But this is what
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the intelligence community is. Remember this the guy who had
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the power to spine American citizens and the rest of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the world in the aftermath in nine to eleven, basically
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: totally trampling our rights. Hayden apparently didn't like what he
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: learned about conservative America, while no doubt enjoying the liberties
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: afford to him by the Patriot Act, and now he
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: hates us as conservatives so much that he wants you,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: as an unvaccinated person, to go back on the planes
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and be under Taliban rule. Don't worry, he'll be on CNN,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, spouting all of this instead of actually standing
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: up for American citizens very soon. And if you think
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: NBC News is the only one that's talking like this
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: right now about how bad things are on the ground,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: no they're not. You don't know how bad it is.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Even the Pentagon won't even give us an actual answer
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: about how many terrorists we may have been letting onto
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: these flights coming to America international community, but that won't
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: be an American responsibility. And just one more, how many
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: individuals on terror watch lists have been screened or found
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: at any of the screening points either in Cutter Ramstein
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: or in the US. I don't know. We'll have to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: take that question and get back to you year. Thank you, John,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I love. I don't know. I don't know how many
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: terrorists we may have evacuated ahead of American citizens. We
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: don't know, because we're just pretty much letting everybody on there.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Two American congressmen, by the way, snuck into Afghanistan to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: get a real picture of how bad things are. I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: think they made a great decision doing this. Of course,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: y're being crucified by the media because they went on
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a plane in the middle of the night and left
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and didn't take a seat away from anybody. Now, this
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: liberal whack job over at CNN Mud slammed these two
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: congressmen for taking an Instagram trip he called it to Afghanistan.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He said, it's reprehensible. What because they want to see
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: how bad it is. They want to see how many
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Americans are gonna be left behind. Believe it to CNN
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to attack two congressmen for actually going to Kabul amid
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the evacuation to see what needs to be done. Reprehensible,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: sharply criticized as too polite. Look, the President United States,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: who is responsible first and foremost for American national security,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: said the situation is so dangerous that the US military
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: can't stay on that we have to withdraw US military.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: So two members of Congress, without the support of their leadership,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: decide that they're going to bypass Disneyland and take an
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Instagram trip to Afghanistan because they want some eye candy
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: for a bunch of constituents. If I were Nancy Pelosi
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and Kevin McCarthy, I would see this as a chance
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: or by partisanship, both of those guys on their committees
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: out done. And by the way, yeah, you go over
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: there as two congressmen to actually find out and help
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: protecting defend American citizens, and now they want you out,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They want you done where they want to kick you
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to the curb. Don't talk. By the way, Mud has
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: never said anything like this about the Taliban or Joe
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Biden leaving Americans behind. No, he's angry that two congressmen
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: flew in and flew out with any fanfare to get
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the real story from the commanders on the ground about
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the chaos on the ground and how long it would
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: take to get Americans out and seeing what we may
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: actually need to get them out. And he's angry about
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: it and wants them to lose their committee jobs. This
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: is CNN. They're angry about this, not about Americans being
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: left behind to be tortured, to be beheaded, to be raped,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to be dismembered. Nope, not mad about that. We're mad
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that two congressmen, one Democrat, one Republican, both of them
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: former military veterans, decided to go to Afghanistan to see
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: just what really needs to get done and how bad
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it is. And he says we should, they should lose
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: their jobs, Sandy for a bunch of constituents. If I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: were Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy, I would see this
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: as a chance or by partisanship, both those guys on
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: their committees out done. And by the way, ask them
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for the two seats they took out for all their
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: concerns about refugees. What happens to the two refugees who
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: didn't get those seats? By the way, that's a lie.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: And this is the crap that they'll put out there.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: This is the propaganda from Philip mud Over at CNN. This,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is scumbaggery. One oh one. The congressmen
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: made sure they didn't take a seat away from anybody
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: on the way in on an empty plane. On the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: way out, there were empty seats on the plane no
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: one missed out on a seat because these two congressmen
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: they made sure they were in crew seats just to
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: be careful. And they took pictures because they knew that
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this is what the scumbag media would do. They'd be saying, oh,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you took away a seat from somebody that could have
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: been saved. The plane was not full. Say it again,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the plane was not full. But let's rip two congressmen
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: for actually doing their damn jobs. What do you tell them?
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Last thing I'd say, evidently, but I've read. One of
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the brilliant insights they've gotten is that the slow start
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: meant that we could get fewer people out than we
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: would have gotten out if we'd started fast. Look, John,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I can do oversight from Memphis and give you that
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: reprehensible they ought to go from their committees. Yeah, so
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: let's attack congressmen for actually showing up and telling us
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: what's going on on the ground. These two congressmen, one Democrat,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: one Republican made this secret visit to Kapole, Afghanistan, and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: now they're the bad guys. Where they learned that the evacuations,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: based on what they were told by the commanders on
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the ground, absolutely cannot be completed by President Joe Biden's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: August thirty first deadline, according to the commanders in charge
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of the situation. In a joint statement, Malton and Majeer
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Republican Democrats said their surprise mission was to quote conduct
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: oversight mission to evacuate Americans and our allies, arguing that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: members of Congress have a duty to provide oversight on
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the executive branch. The two representatives are also clear that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: they ensured their visit would not take away seats from
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: those in need. As members of Congress, we have a
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: duty to provide oversight on the executive branch. There's no
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: place in the world right now where oversight matters more.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: We conduct this visit in secret, speaking about it only
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: after our departure, to minimize the risk and disruption to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the people on the ground, and because we were there
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to gather information, not to grandstand. We left on a
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: plane with empty seats seated in the crew only seats
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: to ensure that nobody who needs a seat would lose
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: won because of our presence. Oh but let's put out misinformation.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: That's what's CNN did. Let's attack the two guys. One
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Republican Democrat that's actually doing the right thing. Washington. They said,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: quote should be ashamed of the position we put our
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: service members in, and they represent the best in America.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: These men and women have been run ragged and are
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: still running strong. Their empathy and dedication to duty are
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: truly inspiring. The acts of heroism and selflessness we witnessed
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: at the airport make America proud. Oh, CNN says they
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: should lose their jobs. Yeah, let's attack them with more
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: fire than we attack the Taliban, the actual terrorists. It's disgusting,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: absolutely disgusting, But it's exactly what I would expect from them,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you know. The Pentagon, by the way, just put out
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: a statement literally a moment ago, saying that we've only
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: gotten out now four thousand, four hundred Americans and families evacuated.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: All right, So let's do the math on that real quick.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: They've been forced to admit that the overwhelming majority of
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: people being evacuated or afghanis not Americans. The Americans are
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: totally trapped behind enemy lines. They can't get to the airport.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: We're being told in messages and emails of this your
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: final notice. You better get out or you're on your
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: own America will not save you. Then they recall that
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: email thirty minutes later after massive backlash, and now the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Pentagon is giving us an official number now that only
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: four thousand, four in Americans and families have been evacuated
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: so far. This is horrific, worse than I even thought beforehand.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: We're basically filling up planes, but not with the right people,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: not with American citizens, and they're trying to give us
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a big number of all these people that have left,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: but they're not Americans. We were told minimum ten thousand,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: more than likely fifteen to twenty thousand Americans behind enemy lines,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and all we've gotten out is four thousand, four hundred
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Americans because they can't get to the damn airport. And
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you want to know what the Pentagon wanted to be
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: focusing on vaccinations. They're going back to that now. They
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: literally just said this. The Pentagon just tried to spend
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: saying nineteen thousand people evacuated in last twenty four hours.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: How many those Americans, We're not sure. Well, how many
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Americans since the beginning of this have you guys gotten out?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: We're not sure. They've been beat down to the point
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: where they finally hadn't met. We've only gotten four thousand,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: four in American families members out of Afghanistan. So you
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: guys just did nineteen thousand people and maybe eight hundred
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of them or a thousand were Americans. Yeah, what the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: hell are you doing? Well, we can't get outside the airport.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Taliban has control. But just show your American passport. You'll
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: be fine, really, because they're being beaten when they show
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: their American passport and their passports are being taken away
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: from them. Oh that's right. Yeah, we just told you
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: guys don't come to the airport because if you if
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: you might die. So now, what do you want them
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to do? Well, let's talk about vaccines. Kaicking morning everybody.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: By by the way, I want you to understand this.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I'm playing you from the very beginning, the Pentagon spokesman
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: walking out to the podium saying, good morning everyone, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: this is the first update he gives. Kicking morning, everybody,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Just one more note in them. We'll we'll get the
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: questions I think you may have seen. Now we have
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: released the Secretary's Memo with respective mandatory vaccinations for COVID nineteen.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: He is determined after careful consultation with medical experts and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: military leadership, and of course, with the support of the President,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: that mandatory vaccination against the coronavirus disease COVID nineteen is
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: necessary to protect the safety of our service force. Mandatory
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: vaccination will only use COVID nineteen vaccines that receive full
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: licensure from the Food and Drug Administration in accordance with
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: FDA approved labeling and guidance. Mandatory vaccination requirements will be
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: implemented consistent with Immunization Program Instruction sixty five sixty two
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: O five point Z two. In other words, the existing
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: structure and regulations that govern policies and procedures for managing
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: mandatory vaccination across the Force. This is consistent with the
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Department's efforts to ensure the safety of our service members
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and again to maintain the readiness of the force that
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: we'll take questions. Bob So, I mean, you walk out
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: there and you have all these Americans trapped, and the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: most important thing you think you need to give the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: people an update on before you take questions, is mandatory
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: vaccination is necessary to protect our service members in our force.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: You think that's what people give a crap about right now. Godly,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: these people are stupid. They're dumber than I thought. And
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that's hard to do because I have a little bar
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: for them. So our U s Mbassy issues a last
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: alert to US citizens to leave Afghanistan or they're on
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: their own with no government help. Then they recall it
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes later, and the US Mbassy in Afghanistan send
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: out this final message to Americans want to leave Kabol,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: telling them good luck, let's go to the Pentagon. Well,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: we have breaking news. You're gonna have vaccinations mandatory in
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the US military. That's that. That's what people give a
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: crap about right now. Really, that's what that's the that's
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the update you think people need to hear. This is
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: what you've got to offer. And Jensaki is saying, I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say Afghan withdraw has been anything but a success, right,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It's been a huge sugnal on track Peter to be
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the largest airlift in US history. By the way, none
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: of Americans. You guys are lifting out a whole bunch
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: of other people, but not Americans. You've only gotten four thousand,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: four hundred Americans out. You're not airlifting Americans. You're airlifting
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: everybody but Americans. So, and that is bringing American citizens out,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: it is bringing our Afghan partners out, it is bringing
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: allies out. So no, I would not say that is
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: anything but a success. Yes, it's a success. This is
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: all a success. We'll just keep telling it to you
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again. Everything is
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a success. It's all a success, folks, all of it. No,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: this is a success. Kevin McCarthy, Biden has ruined our
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: reputation on the world stage. He said, well, yeah, I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: think that's pretty clear. Nancy Pelosi just came out, she's angry.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Those two congressmen actually went over there to take a
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: look at what's happening on the ground to give more
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: guidance about what we need to do. And both of
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: them are saying the commanders on the ground were telling them, honestly,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: there is no way that we're going to have Americans
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: out on time by the thirty first, not even by
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: September the eleventh. Pelosi, she's angry, and people in general
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a factor in all of that. So, with that technical question,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: when did you learn that Congressman Holton and Congressman Mayer
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and traveled to Afghanistan and is that what propered your
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: letter instructing members not to travel to the region. When
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: did I learn around the same time a little bit
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: for what was in the public domain, I'll tell you
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: why it wasn't in the We didn't make it known
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: because it would be dangerous for them, so a matter
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: of hours, but still until they were airborne, it would
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: not be safe for them. The Secretary of Defense, Secretary
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of State, there's a real concern about members being in
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the region. And so with the shall we say, shall
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: we say knowledge of the Secretary of Defense as to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: what the risk would be to these members, A the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: resource is necessary to facilitate their visit and to protect them.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Was an opportunity cost of what we needed to do
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to be evacuating as many people as possible. So it's
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: not just about them going to Afghanistan. We're not even
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: going to the region because there's a call on our
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: resources diplomatically, political, militarily, and the rest in the region
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: as well. So this is deadly serious, deadly serious. We
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: don't want our members over there actually telling the American
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: people what's really going on. Yeah, we don't want that
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to happen. And ah no, we do not. That's not
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: something you're allowed to do. You're a member of Congress.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: You better stay home. You better shut up, right, you
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: better be quiet, you better be silent, You better shut up.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: You don't get on a plane and go over there
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and actually report back of how bad things are. You
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: don't go over there and try to help Americans get
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: evacuated and give a clearer picture of what's going on.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: That's not your job. It's deadly serious. To quote Nancy Pelosi,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: deadly serious. You know these people doing it's deadly serious
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: in the region as well. So this is deadly serious.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: They do not want members to go, so you're disappointed
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: in them, specifically, wish they hadn't gone. Well, I haven't
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: heard what they're you know. In other words, let me
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: just say I think my letter speaks for itself in
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: terms of people shouldn't be going there. Well, if you
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: guys aren't going to do your damn job to send
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: up to the president get Americans out, what did you
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: think these congressman's supposed to do? Just watch over the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: demand eyes of a horrific decision at the hands of
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America. I'm just
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: asking for ten fifteen thousand Americans caught behind enemy lines
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: that you guys are going to lead behind. I mean
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: National Security Agency Director General Michael Hayden saying we should
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: send Trump unvaccine supporters to Taliban controlled Afghanistan on the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: empty flights that are going in. So these are your
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: This is your team saying this, folks, This is this
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: is your team saying this. You know, I remember that
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: great tweet that made a bunch of people angry. Donald
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Trump tweeted out and this is the type of rhetoric
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: that terrorists actually understand. To the Iranian President Rhanni, never
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: ever all caps threaten the United States again, or you
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: will suffer the consequences the likes of which few throughout
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: history have ever suffered before. We are no longer a
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: country that will stand for your demental words of violence
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: and death. Be cautious. And then he dropped a drone
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: on a car carrying Around's number one terrorist and Nancy
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Pelosi wanted to impeach him over that the world was
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: afraid of Donald Trump because he was a protect America
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: at all costs. This presents a complete opposite of that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: This presence taking orders from the Taliban, This present is
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: doing what the Taliban tells him to do. That's the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: true story of Afghanistan. Right now, make sure you share this.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Please share this podcast on social media, Text it to
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: your friends, let them know about this so that more
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: people will hear it. And I'll see you back here tomorrow.
