Speaker 1: Well, if you're Joe Biden, you're really hoping that the
0:02
Speaker 1: media would do exactly what they're doing so far for you.
0:07
Speaker 1: If you're the State Department, you're really hoping the media
0:10
Speaker 1: we'll get your back and do exactly what they've been
0:13
Speaker 1: doing for you, which is to give you credit for
0:16
Speaker 1: things that you actually haven't done in getting Americans out
0:19
Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. The State Department, however, has gone a little
0:23
Speaker 1: bit too far and now being accused of lying and stealing,
0:26
Speaker 1: trying to steal credit for rescue of four Americans from Afghanistan.
0:32
Speaker 1: The organizers of the non governmental Mission to Rescue an
0:36
Speaker 1: American mother and her three children from Afghanistan says the
0:40
Speaker 1: US State Department has lied trying to claim credit for
0:43
Speaker 1: the successful operation. According to a new report, top State
0:47
Speaker 1: Department officials announced on Monday that the quote US has
0:51
Speaker 1: facilitated the safe departure of four ussens by overland route,
0:56
Speaker 1: meaning not from the air, but across land, across Afghanistan
0:59
Speaker 1: into an The country embassy staff was present quote unquote
1:04
Speaker 1: upon their arrival, But those actually involved in this dangerous
1:07
Speaker 1: rescue operations say no, the State Department does not deserve
1:11
Speaker 1: any credit for this escape from Afghanistan. Corey Mills and
1:18
Speaker 1: a private team of military veterans, drawing on funding by
1:23
Speaker 1: private donors including the Centennial Foundation, actually led the effort
1:29
Speaker 1: to rescue Marion and her three children from Afghanistan, where
1:33
Speaker 1: they had been left behind by the State Department, by
1:36
Speaker 1: the Biden Administration, by our President Joe Biden. Multiple sources
1:40
Speaker 1: of knowledge of this woman's evacuation or families say no,
1:44
Speaker 1: the State Department was not involved, they did not direct it,
1:48
Speaker 1: and the Pentagon was not involved. This was private funds,
1:51
Speaker 1: private people risking their lives again, Americans out left behind
1:54
Speaker 1: by the State Department and by the Biden administration. Mills
1:59
Speaker 1: had been alerted to the family struggle by Representative Ronnie Jackson.
2:03
Speaker 1: You may remember Ronnie as the former White House physician
2:06
Speaker 1: who's now a Congressman from Texas. Ronnie Jackson tweeted this
2:12
Speaker 1: out after two weeks and multiple life threatening attempts, I
2:15
Speaker 1: am overjoyed to share that four US citizens from the
2:20
Speaker 1: Texas thirteenth District that's where he is a congressman, we're
2:24
Speaker 1: part of the first successful ground evacuation since the US
2:28
Speaker 1: left Kabul. Thank you to Corey Mills and the other
2:32
Speaker 1: brave patriots on his team for saving these brave Americans.
2:37
Speaker 1: According to the report, Mills and the group people work
2:39
Speaker 1: for weeks to get the American family out of Afghanistan,
2:41
Speaker 1: trying to get them out, trying to get them on
2:44
Speaker 1: one of the last year's government flights out of Kabul.
2:45
Speaker 1: But then remember, no one would come out in the
2:47
Speaker 1: street and get them. The mother and her children could
2:50
Speaker 1: not get into the airport, which had been taken over
2:52
Speaker 1: by the Taliban militants. But remember, you're supposed to show
2:54
Speaker 1: the Taliban your passport and they're just supposed to let
2:57
Speaker 1: you through. We now know they didn't do that. The
3:01
Speaker 1: final time Miriam tried to enter the airport, a Taliban
3:05
Speaker 1: fighter pointed a pistol at her head and warned her
3:07
Speaker 1: not to come back. Shortly after that, Taliban fighters asked
3:11
Speaker 1: couple locals who knew Marian how they could find her.
3:15
Speaker 1: Mills team rushed to get her and her children out
3:17
Speaker 1: of the city and into a safe house, which they did.
3:20
Speaker 1: The Womann tried to book a private charter flight from
3:23
Speaker 1: an airport a couple hundred miles from Kabul, but the
3:26
Speaker 1: plane was never clear to take off. Some private evacuation
3:30
Speaker 1: organizers had blamed the State Department for failing to gain
3:33
Speaker 1: clearance for charter flights to land in third countries, and
3:38
Speaker 1: while Representative the Republican Representative Michael McCall had blamed the
3:44
Speaker 1: Taliban for the planes remaining grounded. Finally, mills plan was
3:48
Speaker 1: to travel over land to a neighboring country, the exact
3:51
Speaker 1: countries being withheld to avoid jeopardizing future rescue missions. An
3:56
Speaker 1: attempt to get the family across the border took multiple
4:00
Speaker 1: attempts and side of hand tactics that Mills compared to
4:03
Speaker 1: a shell game. The Marion's family finally crossed the border
4:07
Speaker 1: on Monday morning, just before the Taliban closed a checkpoint
4:11
Speaker 1: to prevent Americans from escaping were also being told. Mills
4:15
Speaker 1: said on Fox News, the State Department's claim that it
4:17
Speaker 1: quote facilitated the safe departure of the family is absolute nonsense.
4:23
Speaker 1: In other words, they're trying to take credit for the disaster,
4:27
Speaker 1: the catastrophe that they actually created, which is disgusting. Now,
4:33
Speaker 1: Representative Mullen went on CNN this morning to talk about
4:39
Speaker 1: this what he referred to as an absolute lie, and
4:42
Speaker 1: I want you to hear Brianna Keeler at at CNN
4:45
Speaker 1: trying to spend this like somehow this isn't actually good news,
4:49
Speaker 1: that somehow this is maybe the State Department, the by
4:51
Speaker 1: administration deserve more credit than what you guys are giving them.
4:55
Speaker 1: How sick is that? Take a listen, curiosity about who
4:59
Speaker 1: these folks are that came out overland, the first people
5:03
Speaker 1: that we are aware who have done this. You've been
5:05
Speaker 1: working with a team of veterans and others. Tell us
5:08
Speaker 1: who these people are and tell us about their journey,
5:11
Speaker 1: what it was like. Well, we started this group moving
5:18
Speaker 1: about two weeks ago. Miriam and her three kids are
5:22
Speaker 1: from Amarilla, Texas, and we had got a request to
5:28
Speaker 1: see if we could help them in my office along
5:31
Speaker 1: with the office of Ronnie Jackson. And when we got
5:35
Speaker 1: that request, I reached out to some friends of mine
5:37
Speaker 1: that were contractors and ask them things to have people
5:40
Speaker 1: working in that area, which they did. Once we contacted them,
5:44
Speaker 1: they started putting an organization together, working with the Sentinel Foundation.
5:48
Speaker 1: The Sitnel Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is absolutely
5:52
Speaker 1: awesome and they're non political. They do this stuff all
5:55
Speaker 1: the time, and it was our intentions of making no
5:59
Speaker 1: press statements at all about this. We were simply going
6:02
Speaker 1: to fly in, get Miriam and her kids and a
6:06
Speaker 1: couple other amsets which are American citizens, and leave. But
6:10
Speaker 1: when we were trying to enter into Afghanistan, things went
6:13
Speaker 1: really sideways. We started getting all types of pushback from
6:18
Speaker 1: the from the State Department. But by the way, you
6:21
Speaker 1: noticed the real story come out here. This representative in
6:23
Speaker 1: Republican Oklahoma said, I've been trying to help rescue me
6:27
Speaker 1: from Afghanistan. It's actually the State Department that's been holding
6:29
Speaker 1: us up from doing it. And now the fact that
6:31
Speaker 1: after we do get some Americans out, the State Department
6:34
Speaker 1: tries to claim credit for it to help and helping
6:36
Speaker 1: this rescue. They've actually done the complete opposite of that, right,
6:40
Speaker 1: this bureaucracy bullcrap has done the complete opposite. And so
6:46
Speaker 1: we found ourselves not able to get her out through Hakaia,
6:49
Speaker 1: which is the Kabul International Airport, And even though we
6:52
Speaker 1: had her at the gate multiple times, multiple times we
6:55
Speaker 1: was on the phone to the State Department over the
6:57
Speaker 1: last two weeks trying to get her out, and they
7:01
Speaker 1: wouldn't even open the gate for us. On the night
7:03
Speaker 1: of the twenty ninth, through the day of the thirtieth.
7:06
Speaker 1: We were trying over and over in Actually, on the
7:08
Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty ninth, and the thirtieth, we were at Gates.
7:11
Speaker 1: I was on the phone with the Operations Center trying
7:14
Speaker 1: to get Mariam and her kids out of Kabul. And
7:17
Speaker 1: so when the administration says that every American that wanted
7:21
Speaker 1: out could get out, that's an absolute lie. Because we're
7:25
Speaker 1: working with twenty seven amsets American citizens right now that
7:28
Speaker 1: I assure you all of them wanted out and we
7:31
Speaker 1: couldn't get them out. AD's an absolute lie for the
7:34
Speaker 1: State Department to claim credit for Americans I helped rescue.
7:39
Speaker 1: Leave it to the Biden administration because they know they're
7:41
Speaker 1: in trouble, right, Leave it to them to make up
7:45
Speaker 1: crap like this. Leave it to them to make up
7:49
Speaker 1: things like this. It's disgusting to try to take credit
7:53
Speaker 1: for what the private sector is doing and what these
7:55
Speaker 1: men are doing on their own because the state departments
7:57
Speaker 1: in their way, in their way, folks, they are in
8:02
Speaker 1: their way. You know, Representative Mullen saying that it's an
8:07
Speaker 1: absolute lie for the State Department not only to claim
8:10
Speaker 1: credit for Americans that he helped rescue, but he also
8:13
Speaker 1: called them out for lying saying that all Americans that
8:15
Speaker 1: wanted to get out of Afghanistan could actually get out
8:17
Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. And if you notice he's bringing up that point,
8:20
Speaker 1: that never happened either. So how is it now when
8:23
Speaker 1: I go out and the private sector goes out and
8:25
Speaker 1: people risk their lives who have already served their country
8:28
Speaker 1: and official capacity, who are now willing to go back
8:30
Speaker 1: in an unofficial capacity to save American lives, putting their
8:34
Speaker 1: lives on the line, knowing that they get caught, they
8:35
Speaker 1: will be they will die, right, they'll be beheaded, they'll
8:39
Speaker 1: be shot, whatever it is, executed hung knowing this. Americans
8:45
Speaker 1: are being hunted down. They know this, and they get
8:48
Speaker 1: these people out in the state partments like we did it. No,
8:50
Speaker 1: you didn't. And you're the same people that have been
8:52
Speaker 1: stopping us from getting Americans out. You're the same people
8:54
Speaker 1: that promise it. Just wave your passport and they'll let
8:57
Speaker 1: you through the airport. And they didn't. They put guns
8:59
Speaker 1: to your head and shot at your feat her kids
9:01
Speaker 1: out of Kabul. And so when the administration says that
9:05
Speaker 1: every American that wanted out could get out, that's an
9:08
Speaker 1: absolute line. Because we're working with twenty seven amsets American
9:12
Speaker 1: citizens right now that I assure you all of them
9:15
Speaker 1: wanted out and we couldn't get them out when I failed. Yes,
9:19
Speaker 1: go ahead, No, I was gonna say, I do want
9:21
Speaker 1: to talk to you about that, because obviously you were
9:23
Speaker 1: aware you're facing a lot of criticism for efforts to
9:26
Speaker 1: enter the country, and I want to talk about that.
9:27
Speaker 1: But first I want to ask you about this particular
9:31
Speaker 1: characterization of what happened by the US State Department, because
9:35
Speaker 1: you said you didn't necessarily want to be talking about
9:37
Speaker 1: this in the press, but here you are, and you're
9:40
Speaker 1: taking issue. You're taking very much issue with how the
9:42
Speaker 1: State Department is characterizing this. So but by the way,
9:45
Speaker 1: I love how Brianna Kula here is defending the State Department,
9:47
Speaker 1: the State Department that's taking credit for Americans that they
9:51
Speaker 1: claim they helped rescue when in fact they didn't help
9:53
Speaker 1: rescue them. Number one, okay, And number two, they're like, well,
9:57
Speaker 1: you said you didn't want to be on TV, mister
10:00
Speaker 1: congressman from Oklahoma, and now here you are on TV
10:04
Speaker 1: like he's done thing wrong because he's been trying to
10:06
Speaker 1: do everything can to help get Americans out of Afghanistan.
10:10
Speaker 1: What scumbaggery. I mean, this is absolute, total scumbaggery, total
10:18
Speaker 1: scumbaggery from CNN that they're actually doing this right now.
10:22
Speaker 1: It is. It is total and utter scumbaggery. And this
10:25
Speaker 1: is what they're saying. I just want to get to
10:28
Speaker 1: the bottom of what you're taking issue with. Because the
10:30
Speaker 1: State Department said the US has facilitated the safe departure
10:34
Speaker 1: of four US citizens by overland route from Afghanistan. Embassy
10:37
Speaker 1: staff was present upon arrival. So just to be clear,
10:41
Speaker 1: are you saying that they actually did not facilitate the
10:43
Speaker 1: overland departure of these four Are you saying that embassy
10:46
Speaker 1: staff were not present at the exit? They've got present
10:50
Speaker 1: on the second day we traveled over there. By the way,
10:53
Speaker 1: I love this, I love how you know CNN is
10:56
Speaker 1: doing the bidding here. Brianna Keeler, What an arrogant, terrible journalist.
11:02
Speaker 1: She's there. Wait, are you saying that they weren't involved?
11:06
Speaker 1: Are you saying that they were not involved? He's like, yeah,
11:08
Speaker 1: they were on the second day. They were there the
11:10
Speaker 1: second day, not the first day. Who defends the State Department.
11:14
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost like Brianna Kulert seeing it is
11:16
Speaker 1: actually auditioning for a job at the State Department or
11:21
Speaker 1: to become the next White House Pressecentyre like, hey, I
11:23
Speaker 1: can take i can spend anything. I'll defend anything. I'll
11:26
Speaker 1: defend the indefensible of the State Department leaving Americans behind
11:29
Speaker 1: to die, because that's exactly what she's doing right now
11:33
Speaker 1: at the Chinese Communist News Network. Three hundred miles with
11:37
Speaker 1: Mariam not we personally, not me. I was actually in
11:40
Speaker 1: the United States over three hundred miles from Cabul up
11:43
Speaker 1: through this the region I'm going to leave where where
11:45
Speaker 1: we actually brought her across out of it because we
11:48
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll get more people through. But we had her
11:51
Speaker 1: there for twenty four hours before the State Department was
11:54
Speaker 1: even where she was there. They didn't show up until
11:56
Speaker 1: a few hours after we'd actually or before we got
11:59
Speaker 1: her across, And so for the to say they facilitated
12:01
Speaker 1: it as absolutely lie. We had to go through over
12:03
Speaker 1: twenty checkpoints, which share to one of those checkpoints you
12:06
Speaker 1: actually actually pay money to get through because of Taliban.
12:10
Speaker 1: On the day, the day that she was actually able
12:14
Speaker 1: to come across, she was actually told because I was
12:16
Speaker 1: on the phone through at three o'clock Central Standard time
12:19
Speaker 1: in the morning, and they said if you come back,
12:21
Speaker 1: or will kill you. And so we were negotiating. We
12:25
Speaker 1: were negotiating back and forth. The State Department was actually
12:29
Speaker 1: told at one time actually told the embassy in the
12:31
Speaker 1: country not to assist us in any way. Quote that
12:35
Speaker 1: came from the ambassador said the Washington Washington DC Mark
12:39
Speaker 1: Wayne said, representatmul and what he called me said, I'm
12:41
Speaker 1: not to assist you in any way. Think about this
12:45
Speaker 1: all because this guy's a conservative. All because this guy's
12:48
Speaker 1: trying to get somebody out of Afghanistan. The State Department
12:53
Speaker 1: is now deciding based on your politics, where they'll help
12:56
Speaker 1: you as an American galle of the country or if
12:58
Speaker 1: you call the wrong Congress to help you, you call
13:01
Speaker 1: it conservative congressman to help you get out of Afghanistan.
13:04
Speaker 1: Then the State Department says, we're out. We're not supposed
13:06
Speaker 1: to assist you, we're not supposed to help you. And
13:08
Speaker 1: then when you do get him out, the State Department's like,
13:09
Speaker 1: look what we did. And then you've got this scumbaggery.
13:13
Speaker 1: Reporting from Brianna Kieler at CNN. It is disgusting. The
13:19
Speaker 1: way that she acted in this interview, doing the bidding
13:23
Speaker 1: of Biden in the I mean, she doesn't give a
13:26
Speaker 1: crap about innocent people's lives. If she did, she wouldn't
13:29
Speaker 1: be defending the indefensible in the State Department. She wouldn't
13:33
Speaker 1: be defending the indefensible of the actions of the Biden administration.
13:37
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be treating a congressman somehow like he's the
13:40
Speaker 1: most terrible person in the world. It gets better. It
13:46
Speaker 1: was until the second day that we almost had her
13:49
Speaker 1: out that the State Department came in. And when they
13:51
Speaker 1: came in, they did come into help. I will give
13:53
Speaker 1: you that, But for them to take credit and say
13:55
Speaker 1: they negosh headed with the Taliban. Our guys with the
13:58
Speaker 1: Sentinel Foundation literally across the bridge and was trying to
14:02
Speaker 1: negotiate with the Taliban and not the State Department. Are
14:05
Speaker 1: guys the Sentinel Foundation, who is non political whatsoever. They
14:08
Speaker 1: don't even want to be in the picture. They want
14:10
Speaker 1: to They do this all over the country or all
14:13
Speaker 1: over the world. They were taking on the negotiation. So
14:16
Speaker 1: when I see the State Department come out and take
14:17
Speaker 1: credit for this, it is absolutely a lie. There. I
14:22
Speaker 1: love this, By the way, I love how brand of
14:23
Speaker 1: Killers like, WHOA, I got to defend the State Department,
14:25
Speaker 1: because that's my job. If the Chinese Communist News Network CNN,
14:29
Speaker 1: I have to defend them, I've got to defend the indefensible.
14:32
Speaker 1: I'm auditioning for the next press secretary job of the
14:34
Speaker 1: White House. Apparently that's apparently what brand of Killer is
14:37
Speaker 1: doing right now because she can't wait to jump in,
14:40
Speaker 1: can't wait to jump in and say, well, I'll hold
14:44
Speaker 1: on a second. The State Department's amazing, The State Department's brilliant,
14:47
Speaker 1: The State Partum's unbelievable. I mean, I know there's ten
14:49
Speaker 1: percent of Americans left behind, but who cares they So
14:53
Speaker 1: it sounds like what you're seeing is they didn't. It
14:55
Speaker 1: was the group you're involved with, that shepherd shepherded this
14:58
Speaker 1: woman and her three kids through the overland route. The
15:01
Speaker 1: State Department obviously did come in at the end and
15:04
Speaker 1: they helped get this person through this border passing. But
15:08
Speaker 1: I want to ask you because I mean, there's a
15:10
Speaker 1: lot of conflict in the way this story is being told. Obviously,
15:13
Speaker 1: there's a lot of conflict in the way the story.
15:15
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna somehow just credit you since
15:19
Speaker 1: you're coming on TV. Set the record straight. There's a
15:21
Speaker 1: lot there's a lot of conflict here. I mean, the
15:24
Speaker 1: amount of conflict here is truly incredible. Look at all
15:27
Speaker 1: of the conflict here is this is a significant amount
15:31
Speaker 1: of conflict. There's conflict in this story, conflict everywhere in
15:36
Speaker 1: this story. Conflict. How about you just beyond state The
15:41
Speaker 1: State Department's clearly lying about this. How about you be
15:44
Speaker 1: honest about the private citizens having to do the job
15:46
Speaker 1: of the United States government because the United States government
15:49
Speaker 1: refuses to do their damn job. How about you just
15:51
Speaker 1: reporting the facts that the America that are White House
15:55
Speaker 1: in State Department willfully, purposely and by their own admission,
16:01
Speaker 1: has left ten percent of Americans behind. You want to
16:04
Speaker 1: talk about conflict, talk about that conflict. Nope, got gotta
16:07
Speaker 1: just credit you in the great work you just did
16:09
Speaker 1: to get four Americans out, a mother and three children
16:12
Speaker 1: there was being hunted down by the Taliban. And you're
16:14
Speaker 1: facing a lot of criticism from the Biden administration because
16:18
Speaker 1: you tried to get into Afghanistan multiple times. They allege
16:21
Speaker 1: that you threatened them to see staff into Jikistan. Can
16:26
Speaker 1: you tell us about your you say it's not true.
16:28
Speaker 1: Tell us about that. They say that you were trying
16:31
Speaker 1: to bring a large amount of cash in with this
16:34
Speaker 1: group of people that you were with. What do you
16:37
Speaker 1: say to that, were you trying to do that? And
16:39
Speaker 1: tell us about your response to them saying that you
16:41
Speaker 1: threatened the ambassador. Yes, yes, let's just credit you even
16:45
Speaker 1: more after you get people out. Let's let's push them
16:48
Speaker 1: narrative because obviously you can trust this administration with what
16:51
Speaker 1: they're telling you. The same administration that said any American
16:54
Speaker 1: the one taut can get out, and then the same
16:56
Speaker 1: administration to day Lyad said we will leave no Americans behind.
16:59
Speaker 1: We will not end the operations, So we get every
17:01
Speaker 1: American out. Just kidding, Eagle left ten percenty behind. Sex
17:03
Speaker 1: to be you lying to us saying, look, all you
17:05
Speaker 1: gotta do is go to the airport. They'll let you
17:07
Speaker 1: through to show your passport that wasn't working. And they
17:09
Speaker 1: still lied about that, saying that that was going to work. No,
17:13
Speaker 1: just show your passport. No one's gonna put a gun
17:14
Speaker 1: to your head, no one's gonna shoot. The Taliband's great,
17:17
Speaker 1: we're working with the Taliband. They love you. This is
17:19
Speaker 1: how CNN treats heroes that are conservatives that are doing
17:23
Speaker 1: the job of the State Department, the Pentagon, and the
17:26
Speaker 1: White House. This is nothing but government sponsored propaganda, plain
17:32
Speaker 1: and simple. This is government sponsored propaganda that CNN and
17:39
Speaker 1: Brianna Keeler are putting out there because I guess she
17:41
Speaker 1: wants to be the next White House Press Secretary. That's
17:43
Speaker 1: the only thing I can figure out from this interview,
17:45
Speaker 1: because it's not an interview, it's propaganda. Well did you threaten?
17:51
Speaker 1: Did you? Did you threaten people at the We've been
17:55
Speaker 1: told that you threatened an ambassador. By the way, I
17:58
Speaker 1: have no problem with you threatening an ambassador to kick
18:00
Speaker 1: ambassador's ass if he won't help you get Americans out.
18:04
Speaker 1: Just want to be on record is saying that get
18:07
Speaker 1: out of my way as the mentality right now when
18:09
Speaker 1: American lives are at stake, and and if you get
18:12
Speaker 1: your if you get your panties in a wad like
18:15
Speaker 1: this ambassadored because someone didn't respect you when you refuse
18:18
Speaker 1: to do your job, would just to help get Americans out?
18:21
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't feel sorry for you. Just remember
18:24
Speaker 1: public enemy number one right now of the Communist Chinese
18:27
Speaker 1: News Network CNN, State Department, Pentagon is congressmen that are
18:31
Speaker 1: going around the bureaucracy to get Americans out there are
18:36
Speaker 1: being hunted by the Taliban, and instead of celebrating it,
18:39
Speaker 1: we now attack you, CNN now attacking a congressman who
18:44
Speaker 1: was the first one to be able to orchestrate getting
18:47
Speaker 1: Americans out on foot over land out of Afghanistan. That
18:51
Speaker 1: we know we're being hunted by the Taliban, that we're
18:54
Speaker 1: left behind to die a mother and three children. Can
18:57
Speaker 1: you celebrate that? Oh no, no, cannot. By the way,
19:02
Speaker 1: Anthony Lincoln's has actually said Secretary of State that accounting
19:06
Speaker 1: for Americans left is well, we're not really sure how
19:10
Speaker 1: many green cards there. We're not really sure how many
19:12
Speaker 1: Americans left. We don't know. We know nothing. By the way,
19:14
Speaker 1: our State Department knows nothing, The Pentagon knows nothing, The
19:17
Speaker 1: White House knows nothing. So these guys are actually getting
19:20
Speaker 1: it done well, they're publicaning me number one. I also
19:23
Speaker 1: love this other thing that just makes me laugh. They
19:26
Speaker 1: accuse a congressman of trying to get in quote large
19:28
Speaker 1: sums of cash into Afghanistan. Why the hell do you
19:32
Speaker 1: think they're doing that to exactly? Why to exactly why
19:40
Speaker 1: because the money talks. The CIA for decades has been
19:44
Speaker 1: handing out money to people to help look the other way.
19:47
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Biden State Department. They actually
19:49
Speaker 1: said today that it has no resources to rescue trap
19:53
Speaker 1: flights in Afghanistan, no reliable means to confirm details or
19:57
Speaker 1: reports of what's going on on the ground. This is
20:00
Speaker 1: the State Department saying this. So you want to criticize
20:03
Speaker 1: a congressman for trying to bring some cash in Afghanistan
20:05
Speaker 1: and pay some people off to save American lives, Come on,
20:10
Speaker 1: you were trying to bring a large amount of cash in.
20:14
Speaker 1: By the way, that's like called being brilliant. You should
20:17
Speaker 1: celebrate a congressman trying to get in large amounts of
20:20
Speaker 1: cash into a country to try to pay people off
20:22
Speaker 1: to look the other way, to get innocent people out.
20:24
Speaker 1: This group of people that you were with, what do
20:26
Speaker 1: you say to that were you trying to do that?
20:28
Speaker 1: And tell us about your response to them, seeing that
20:31
Speaker 1: you threatened the ambassador, well, virtuall the ambassador Ryan to
20:35
Speaker 1: cheek using get along, and it was his group that
20:38
Speaker 1: really tried to help us as much as they could.
20:41
Speaker 1: It wasn't that's a miss narrative him and I actually
20:43
Speaker 1: spoke about this yesterday and he actually apologized about it.
20:47
Speaker 1: And his guys are the ones that were actually they're
20:50
Speaker 1: trying to volunteer their time and help towards the end
20:53
Speaker 1: of this, not going up to it as large as
20:55
Speaker 1: far as a large sum of cash. Anybody that's worked
20:58
Speaker 1: in that region knows they don't take critical And as
21:00
Speaker 1: I said, you got to go through twenty checkpoints, over
21:03
Speaker 1: twenty checkpoints before you could even get to the area
21:06
Speaker 1: we were at. And at each one of those checkpoints
21:07
Speaker 1: that will charge you between five hundred to four thousand
21:10
Speaker 1: dollars per person. They don't take credit card. They only
21:13
Speaker 1: take cash. And so if we're going to get more
21:16
Speaker 1: people out, we have to continue to we have to
21:18
Speaker 1: continue to fund the operation, and you can only do
21:22
Speaker 1: that through cash. And CNN, you guys have been there before.
21:26
Speaker 1: You guys understand how this works. You know that they
21:28
Speaker 1: that that you had to have cash on you to
21:30
Speaker 1: be able to operate in those parts of the region,
21:31
Speaker 1: and any other organizations ever work there knows that. I
21:35
Speaker 1: love how he calls out CNN by the way, to
21:37
Speaker 1: say it this way, like, don't be stupid, don't don't.
21:40
Speaker 1: Don't be idiots here, you know, us trying to get
21:43
Speaker 1: money in They don't take credit cards. Talban didn't have
21:45
Speaker 1: a little square Wi Fi reader on their phone going
21:48
Speaker 1: please swipe here. America didn't work that way, right, it
21:53
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way and they know it. But but hey, well,
21:58
Speaker 1: you know we've been told you're trying to get money
22:01
Speaker 1: into the country, large sums of money. What do you
22:03
Speaker 1: think he's doing buying drugs? Think he's trying to buy
22:06
Speaker 1: a bunch of poppy? Come on, these are the useful
22:10
Speaker 1: idiots at the Chinese Communistors Network and Brianna Killer, who
22:13
Speaker 1: I guess is auditioning to be the next White House
22:15
Speaker 1: spokesperson or State Department spokesperson, because there's nobody in the
22:21
Speaker 1: right mind that would act this way towards an American
22:23
Speaker 1: that's actually having a victory, having a moment of success
22:31
Speaker 1: getting people out of the country. Do you celebrate a
22:34
Speaker 1: American says and three children's get three children getting out
22:37
Speaker 1: of the country. I would say, yes, that's something that
22:40
Speaker 1: you celebrate. No, no, no, no, not at CNN, No no, no,
22:44
Speaker 1: you were off the reservation. We were told that you
22:47
Speaker 1: threatened an ambassador that didn't happen. Actually, it's been taking
22:51
Speaker 1: out a context. Didn't happen. Talk to the ambassador yesterday.
22:54
Speaker 1: That ambassador actually helped us a little bit at the end.
22:57
Speaker 1: Not true. Well, we're gonna report it anyway. We were.
23:01
Speaker 1: You know, let's make you sound shady. You got cash,
23:04
Speaker 1: we hear you're trying to bring in the country. Yeah,
23:06
Speaker 1: welcome to having an operation. You got twenty checkpoints go through.
23:09
Speaker 1: You gotta pay a bunch of Taliban people five thousand,
23:13
Speaker 1: five hundred, twelve thousand and six thousand, whatever the day
23:15
Speaker 1: market rate is, that's what you got to pay. So
23:18
Speaker 1: we're preparing to do that. Wow, we were told the
23:22
Speaker 1: State Department didn't like this. I don't give a crap
23:24
Speaker 1: what the State Department thinks. If you've got innocent men
23:27
Speaker 1: and women over there that are being held hostage at
23:30
Speaker 1: this point in a state department that's doing nothing to
23:32
Speaker 1: get them out because they're not. Take whatever money you need, Bro,
23:37
Speaker 1: you're an American hero, play by the rules the Taliban,
23:41
Speaker 1: because the Taliban's the one's now in charge. Why because
23:44
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. So if you don't like me taking money,
23:47
Speaker 1: you might want to ask Joe Biden why the helly
23:48
Speaker 1: gave up the country to them before we got all
23:50
Speaker 1: the Americans out. You don't like me taking money over
23:52
Speaker 1: there CNN and the Biden administration, then maybe you should
23:57
Speaker 1: have gotten the Americans out so I didn't have to
23:59
Speaker 1: do this scumbags at CNN. And so it was really
24:05
Speaker 1: a miss narrative that they that the State Department tried
24:08
Speaker 1: to spend and now they're trying to go out there
24:10
Speaker 1: and take credit for the four amsets. The fact of
24:12
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is I wouldn't even have
24:14
Speaker 1: been there if the Biden administration would have done their
24:17
Speaker 1: job in the first place. I didn't look for a
24:19
Speaker 1: reason ago. I didn't even want to go. But how
24:22
Speaker 1: do you say no when we have Americans that are
24:24
Speaker 1: they're wanting to get out, and then you have our
24:26
Speaker 1: own government, the President Biden up there and secretary blinking
24:31
Speaker 1: out there saying that I want to ask you because
24:34
Speaker 1: you know there's there by the way, there's no like hey,
24:37
Speaker 1: First of all, I know it's so you know, thank
24:39
Speaker 1: you for what you did. I know that you have
24:42
Speaker 1: good intentions, none of that. I know that you're just
24:45
Speaker 1: trying to do it's best for these people, and it's
24:46
Speaker 1: amazing that you guys are able to get them out.
24:48
Speaker 1: None of that. None of it, folks, none of that.
24:57
Speaker 1: I wonder why why is it that's and has such
25:00
Speaker 1: a hard time. I'll tell you exactly why. Because they
25:03
Speaker 1: hate conservatives that are successful. They hate conservatives that are successful.
25:15
Speaker 1: They hate it when you actually get something done, and
25:19
Speaker 1: you make the State Department look bad doing it, you
25:24
Speaker 1: make the president look bad doing it, so they'll put
25:28
Speaker 1: out lies and misinformation. Oh, he threatened an ambassador. Not true,
25:33
Speaker 1: Well it's not true. Nope, not true. Okay, Well let's
25:37
Speaker 1: make him look shady because he tried to bring money
25:39
Speaker 1: into the country. Well let me explain why. And seeing
25:42
Speaker 1: and you should know this. You guys have worked there.
25:44
Speaker 1: You got to have cash on you, right, Cash is
25:46
Speaker 1: king cash what gets you out of trouble. Taliban doesn't
25:50
Speaker 1: take credit cards. I love that line. By the way,
25:53
Speaker 1: Taliban doesn't take credit cards. You notice not one time
25:58
Speaker 1: that's seeing and say it's a you got them out,
26:01
Speaker 1: or congratulations for getting them out, or you know, I
26:03
Speaker 1: know that this is an incredible moment for these family members.
26:08
Speaker 1: You notice none of that was said. No, no, we're
26:12
Speaker 1: going to attack you because you went off the reservation
26:14
Speaker 1: and you did the right thing, the moral thing. You
26:16
Speaker 1: went and got an American out, and you played by
26:19
Speaker 1: the rules that were left that you played the hand
26:21
Speaker 1: that was dealt to you by the Taliban and by
26:24
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. You got them out. We will not
26:29
Speaker 1: give you credit, we will not say thank you. In fact,
26:31
Speaker 1: we're going to defend the State Department, even though the
26:33
Speaker 1: State Department's lying statement. Department is literally lying about wanting
26:40
Speaker 1: to say, oh, they got Americans out. They did the opposite.
26:42
Speaker 1: They hindered us, they blocked us, they fought against us.
26:46
Speaker 1: That's the real story here. Why is the State Department line?
26:49
Speaker 1: Why is the State Department trying to take credit for
26:50
Speaker 1: something they didn't do. That's the narrative that should be
26:54
Speaker 1: talked about. That is the conversation that we should be having.
27:01
Speaker 1: These are heroes, folks, and we're being told around the
27:04
Speaker 1: clock right now, this is what they're trying to do.
27:08
Speaker 1: There are heroes that are trying to do everything they
27:11
Speaker 1: can to get people out. There are private citizens that
27:16
Speaker 1: are raising funds, raising money, trying to get people out,
27:19
Speaker 1: desperately trying to get people out. It is these are
27:22
Speaker 1: the heroes that everyone should be cheering on. You know,
27:27
Speaker 1: I gave some money financially, and I hope you guys
27:29
Speaker 1: will do the same to a group that I know
27:32
Speaker 1: is doing everything they can to get people out because
27:34
Speaker 1: it does take money, it does cost money, and when
27:37
Speaker 1: the State Department won't do their job, it's disgusting. But
27:39
Speaker 1: it's the reality of the situation. And you watch this
27:43
Speaker 1: White House and you watch them slander good people. What
27:46
Speaker 1: I would say is just keep doing it and give
27:48
Speaker 1: them the middle finger. Sorry for being blunt, but it's
27:52
Speaker 1: the truth. You know. You look at the state departments
27:57
Speaker 1: claim that it facilitates the safe departure of the family.
28:00
Speaker 1: It's absolutely nonsense. The fact that they were spending this
28:02
Speaker 1: trying to take one hundred percent credit when they didn't
28:04
Speaker 1: track this family, when they placated this family, when the mother,
28:10
Speaker 1: who was under extreme stress, extreme pressure, reached out of
28:12
Speaker 1: the State Department multiple times and got no help. This
28:15
Speaker 1: is an attempt to save faced by the administration for
28:17
Speaker 1: the Americans. They left behind this one with three children
28:20
Speaker 1: ages fifteen, from ages fifteen all the way down to
28:23
Speaker 1: two years old, and they did nothing to try to
28:26
Speaker 1: expedite this. But the very last minute you have these
28:29
Speaker 1: senior officials quote unquote at the State Department trying to
28:31
Speaker 1: claim credit for this, like, oh, yeah, look what we've done.
28:35
Speaker 1: It's like we carried the ball to the ninety nine
28:37
Speaker 1: and a half yard line and then taking it the
28:39
Speaker 1: last half yard and and being like, wow, look what
28:42
Speaker 1: we did. He's right, God bless his heroes. And let's
28:47
Speaker 1: continue to publicly shame the Biden administration for leaving Americans
28:50
Speaker 1: behind only by using the facts. All Right, I'll say
28:53
