BIDEN'S FAILURE: Afghan Women Throwing Babies Over Barbed Wire To Save Them! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Stubborn, old, senile, and angry. Those are the words that
0:04
Speaker 1: I can use to describe Joe Biden in his ABC
0:08
Speaker 1: News exclusive one on one interview that he did with
0:12
Speaker 1: George Stepanopolis, a democratic operative that was going easy on
0:16
Speaker 1: the president, and even with George Stepanopolis going easy on him,
0:20
Speaker 1: Joe Biden fell apart in this interview. As the Afghanistan
0:24
Speaker 1: crisis has worsened, How bad is it? Mothers and fathers
0:28
Speaker 1: are now handing their children over bob ware fences at
0:31
Speaker 1: the airport, trying to at least give their kids a
0:34
Speaker 1: chance at life because they know that they are more
0:37
Speaker 1: than likely going to die. And if you want to
0:40
Speaker 1: know what's happening in Afghanistan right now, it's a money grab.
0:45
Speaker 1: The Taliban are now in control of one trillion dollars
0:49
Speaker 1: worth of minerals that the world desperately wants and needs.
0:53
Speaker 1: Insert China and Russia. This swift fall of Afghanistan, we're
0:57
Speaker 1: now being told, was undermined by Possibly and Russia, which
1:03
Speaker 1: has triggered this humanitarian crisis. Those two countries already working
1:08
Speaker 1: deals to get into Afghanistan's vastly untapped mineral wealth. They
1:15
Speaker 1: say it could transform the economic prospects of the Taliban
1:19
Speaker 1: to be able to not only just have money, but
1:21
Speaker 1: money that they've never even imagined to then use towards terrorism. Afghanistan,
1:26
Speaker 1: as you know, is one of the poorest nations in
1:28
Speaker 1: the world, but in twenty ten, US military and geologists
1:32
Speaker 1: revealed that the country, which lies at the crossroads of
1:34
Speaker 1: Central and South Asia, was sending on a mineral deposits
1:37
Speaker 1: worth nearly a trillion dollars. What minerals are they and
1:41
Speaker 1: why are they so important to Russia and China? And
1:43
Speaker 1: that's why their embassies are wide open and they're working
1:46
Speaker 1: these deals. Supplies of minerals such as iron, copper, and
1:51
Speaker 1: gold are scattered across provinces. They are also rare earth minerals,
1:56
Speaker 1: and perhaps most importantly, that could be one of the
1:59
Speaker 1: world's biggest deposits of lithium. That's why China is sitting
2:06
Speaker 1: there begging to do a deal. Lithium is an essential
2:10
Speaker 1: but scarce component in rechargeable batteries that China desperately needs,
2:14
Speaker 1: as well as other technologies vital to tackling what some
2:17
Speaker 1: refer to as the climate crisis. Afghanistan is certainly one
2:21
Speaker 1: of the richest regions and traditional precious metals, but also
2:25
Speaker 1: the metals needed for the emerging economy of the twenty
2:28
Speaker 1: first century. And that's why China is stepping in as
2:32
Speaker 1: America leaves. Security challenges may not be an issue if
2:36
Speaker 1: all the money is going to the Taliban, something we
2:38
Speaker 1: were not going to guarantee, which is part of the
2:41
Speaker 1: reason why these minerals went untapped over the last twenty years.
2:45
Speaker 1: A lack of infrastructure not a problem. China says they'll
2:48
Speaker 1: build it. Severe droughts not a problem. China says they'll
2:51
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes, and they will do the deal
2:55
Speaker 1: with the Taliban, not with the Afghanistan government which has
2:58
Speaker 1: now fallen. This will all change sooner than later, we're
3:03
Speaker 1: being told under Taliban control because they realize how much
3:06
Speaker 1: money they can get their hands on. That is exactly
3:09
Speaker 1: why they've been meeting apparently around the clock with China,
3:11
Speaker 1: as what was even Pakistan and India, which may engage
3:16
Speaker 1: despite the chaos because the money is just so big.
3:21
Speaker 1: So now you understand the politics of what is happening
3:23
Speaker 1: on the ground there now. Joe Biden has been busted lying.
3:27
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone cares at least in the media
3:30
Speaker 1: because Biden boldfaced lied to George Stepanopolis in this interview
3:34
Speaker 1: saying that quote, military advisors did not warn him against withdrawing,
3:38
Speaker 1: and he said, no, no one, No one said to
3:42
Speaker 1: me that I can quote recall that we shouldn't withdraw
3:46
Speaker 1: this way. When he was asked about the people falling
3:49
Speaker 1: from the planes, he said that was four or five
3:51
Speaker 1: days ago, acting like, what difference does it make to
3:53
Speaker 1: quote Hillary Clinton? Who cares? That's old news? That was
3:56
Speaker 1: days ago, days ago. It was actually two days ago
4:01
Speaker 1: when he was asked the question, but who's counting, right?
4:04
Speaker 1: And for all the woke feminists that voted for Joe
4:07
Speaker 1: Biden right because he was gonna stand up for women's
4:09
Speaker 1: rights in equal pay and LGBTQ and all that. Well,
4:14
Speaker 1: he was asked about the women who are now going
4:16
Speaker 1: to be executed, who are going to be put into
4:17
Speaker 1: sex slavery, who are going to not be allowed to
4:19
Speaker 1: walk around the streets, who are going to be not
4:22
Speaker 1: allowed to go to school. He was asked about that
4:25
Speaker 1: and what happened in Afghanistan. Here's his response to ABC
4:28
Speaker 1: News and Americans, what do we owe the Afghans who
4:31
Speaker 1: are left behind? Particularly Afghan women who are facing the
4:34
Speaker 1: prospect of subjugation. Again, as many as we can get out,
4:38
Speaker 1: we should. For example, I had a meeting today for
4:41
Speaker 1: a couple hours in the situation room just below here.
4:43
Speaker 1: There are Afghan women outside the gate. I told him,
4:46
Speaker 1: get him on the planes, get them out, get them out,
4:49
Speaker 1: get their families out if you can. But here's the
4:51
Speaker 1: deal with George. The idea that we're able to deal
4:56
Speaker 1: with the rights of women around the world by military
4:59
Speaker 1: force is not rational. Not rational. Look what's happened to
5:04
Speaker 1: the Wagers and Western China. Look what's happening in other
5:07
Speaker 1: parts of the world. Look what's happening in the Congo.
5:11
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of places where women
5:13
Speaker 1: are being subjugated. The way to deal with that is
5:16
Speaker 1: not with the military invasion. The way to do with
5:18
Speaker 1: that is putting economic, diplomatic, and international pressure on them
5:22
Speaker 1: to change their behavior. Translation, America now doesn't care. America
5:27
Speaker 1: is weak. Let them on the planes. The problem is
5:30
Speaker 1: they're not letting them through the gates. The problem is
5:32
Speaker 1: that Taliban is beating people going the airport. The problem
5:34
Speaker 1: is people are being kidnapped going to the airport. Hell,
5:37
Speaker 1: even CNN's own reporters are being attacked by the ends
5:40
Speaker 1: of ak forty seven gun butts as they're walking down
5:44
Speaker 1: the street. People are begging to get out of the country.
5:46
Speaker 1: Taliban are killing women for not wearing burkers on the
5:48
Speaker 1: same day they vowed to honor women's rights. Go look
5:51
Speaker 1: at the New York Post today they put the picture
5:54
Speaker 1: up the Taliban has killed a woman for not wearing
5:56
Speaker 1: a burker on the same day they vowed women's rights.
5:59
Speaker 1: And this present says, well, we're just going to punt
6:01
Speaker 1: to the international community and we'll figure it out that way.
6:05
Speaker 1: They shot and killed a woman for not wearing a
6:07
Speaker 1: burker in Afghanistan. The same day they pledged that we
6:11
Speaker 1: are a new inclusive air of the Taliban and we
6:13
Speaker 1: honor the women's rights. This photo emerged of the woman
6:16
Speaker 1: in Takhar Province lying in a pool of blood, loved
6:19
Speaker 1: ones crouched around her after she was killed by insurgents
6:22
Speaker 1: for being in public without a head scarf. This is
6:24
Speaker 1: the Taliban. We're also being told there's not enough headscarves
6:28
Speaker 1: for women. And if you look at the satellite pictures
6:31
Speaker 1: that are coming out and the pictures that are coming
6:33
Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan and Kandahar. Right now, you can't find
6:35
Speaker 1: women on the street anywhere. They're all now stuck in
6:38
Speaker 1: their homes. Many of them, by the way, are widowed
6:40
Speaker 1: because their husbands died fighting in Afghanistan. So how do
6:44
Speaker 1: they get to the store, Because you're supposed to be
6:46
Speaker 1: walked around by a family member, and if you don't,
6:48
Speaker 1: they'll beat the hell out of you or kill your
6:49
Speaker 1: shoot you in the face. But don't worry. Joe Biden's
6:52
Speaker 1: gliding telling you military advisors warned him against withdrawing, saying no, no,
6:56
Speaker 1: no one said that to me. They're all saying that's
6:58
Speaker 1: a lie. They're all saying that is a lie. I mean,
7:02
Speaker 1: even George Stepanopolis wasn't believing what Joe Biden was selling him.
7:07
Speaker 1: In this interview, he pressed him on whether the US
7:10
Speaker 1: exit from Afghanistan could have been handled better, and Joe
7:15
Speaker 1: Biden got irritated, and what he described is basically, there
7:19
Speaker 1: was no way for this not to be total chaos.
7:21
Speaker 1: There was no way to plan for people to get
7:22
Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan. There was no way for us to
7:24
Speaker 1: do a better job, which the entire world knows is
7:27
Speaker 1: total insanity. Yet he said it with a straight angry face.
7:30
Speaker 1: Take a listen, look at what's happened over the last week.
7:33
Speaker 1: Was it a failure of intelligence, planning, execution or judgment. Look,
7:39
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a Look it was a
7:40
Speaker 1: simple choice, George, when the Taliban. Let me back put
7:46
Speaker 1: it another way, when you had the government of Afghanistan,
7:52
Speaker 1: the leader of that government, getting into a plane and
7:54
Speaker 1: taking off and going another country. When you saw the
7:58
Speaker 1: significant collapse of the of the Afghan troops, we had trained,
8:04
Speaker 1: up to three hundred thousand of them, just leaving their
8:06
Speaker 1: equipment and taking off, that was you know, I'm not
8:11
Speaker 1: that's what happened. That's simply what happened. But we've all
8:15
Speaker 1: seen the pictures. We've seen those hundreds of people packed
8:17
Speaker 1: into a C seventeen. We've seen Afghans fall. That was
8:21
Speaker 1: four days ago, five days ago. Who did you think
8:24
Speaker 1: when you first saw those pictures? What I thought was,
8:26
Speaker 1: we have to gain control of this. We have to
8:29
Speaker 1: move this more quickly. We have to move in a
8:32
Speaker 1: way in which we can take control of that airport,
8:34
Speaker 1: and we did so. You don't think this could have
8:37
Speaker 1: been handled this sex? It could have been handled better
8:40
Speaker 1: in any way, no mistakes. No, I don't think it
8:43
Speaker 1: could have been handled in a way that we're going
8:47
Speaker 1: to go back in hindsight and look. But the idea
8:50
Speaker 1: that somehow there's a way to have gotten out without
8:53
Speaker 1: chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens. I don't
8:57
Speaker 1: know how that happened. So for you, that was always
8:59
Speaker 1: priced into the decision. Yes, he's not just defiant, he's
9:07
Speaker 1: angry in his defiance. Which is delusional to say that
9:10
Speaker 1: we couldn't have done any better than we could have
9:12
Speaker 1: done when everybody was telling him to do it differently,
9:14
Speaker 1: when everybody in the military is saying we could do
9:16
Speaker 1: a better job. I mean, the Pentagon right now is saying, oh, well,
9:19
Speaker 1: we're working to fill every seat on each plane. No,
9:21
Speaker 1: you're not. If you were, you would be telling the
9:25
Speaker 1: Taliban we're gonna blow you up if you don't give
9:28
Speaker 1: our people a safe passage to the airport, which is
9:30
Speaker 1: not what you're saying and are doing right now. You know,
9:35
Speaker 1: Joe Biden even said it's quote not true that my
9:38
Speaker 1: military advisors warned me against withdrawing. Even ABC News, Good
9:43
Speaker 1: Morning America, George Stepanopolis couldn't spend this for this deranged
9:47
Speaker 1: president of United States America that clearly cannot handle his
9:50
Speaker 1: job and his duties right now. Even when they introduced
9:55
Speaker 1: the segment, they basically knew that he had cooked his
9:58
Speaker 1: own goose, that it was too far gone almost to
10:03
Speaker 1: try to even explain his decisions away because it was
10:09
Speaker 1: so out of touch with reality. It's the US troop
10:11
Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan, and George, we know you pressed the
10:14
Speaker 1: president on the aftermath of that withdrawal, those frantic scenes
10:17
Speaker 1: at the Kabble Airport, thousands of Americans and Afghans desperate
10:21
Speaker 1: to escape as the Taliban tightens its grip. That's right, Amy,
10:23
Speaker 1: and the President promised for the first time that the
10:26
Speaker 1: US military would stay as long as it takes to
10:28
Speaker 1: get all Americans out. He was also defiant, assisting we
10:31
Speaker 1: had to get out now, admitting no mistakes. Back in July,
10:35
Speaker 1: you said a Taliban takeover was highly unlikely. Was the
10:38
Speaker 1: intelligence wrong or did you downplay it? There was no consensus.
10:41
Speaker 1: You go back and look at the intelligence reports, they
10:44
Speaker 1: said that it's more likely to be sometime by the
10:47
Speaker 1: end of the year. You didn't put a timeline out
10:49
Speaker 1: when you said it was highly unlike you just said
10:51
Speaker 1: flat out as highly unlikely the Taliban would take over. Yeah, well,
10:54
Speaker 1: the question was whether or not the idea that the
10:58
Speaker 1: Taliban would take over premised on the notion that somehow
11:04
Speaker 1: the three hundred thousand troops we had trained and equipped
11:07
Speaker 1: was going to just collapse. They We're going to give up.
11:09
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody anticipated that. Senator mcconagall said it
11:12
Speaker 1: was predictable the Taliban was going to take over. Well
11:15
Speaker 1: by the end of the year, it said that that
11:17
Speaker 1: was the real possibility, but no one said it was
11:19
Speaker 1: going to take over then when it was being asked,
11:21
Speaker 1: when you look at what's happened over the last week,
11:23
Speaker 1: was it a failure of intelligence, planning, execution or judgment. Look,
11:29
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a Look it was a
11:31
Speaker 1: simple choice, George, when the Taliban let me back. And
11:36
Speaker 1: put it another way, when you had the government of Afghanistan,
11:42
Speaker 1: the leader of that government getting into plane and taking
11:44
Speaker 1: off and going another country. When you saw the significant
11:49
Speaker 1: collapse of the Afghan troops we had trained to three
11:53
Speaker 1: hundred thousand of them just leaving their equipment and taking off,
11:57
Speaker 1: that was you know, I'm not this is that that's
12:00
Speaker 1: what happened. That's simply what happened. So the question was
12:04
Speaker 1: in the beginning, the threshold question was do we commit
12:09
Speaker 1: to leave within the time frame was set. We extended
12:12
Speaker 1: it to September first, or do we put significantly more
12:16
Speaker 1: troops in I hear people say, well, you had twenty
12:19
Speaker 1: five hundred folks in there and nothing was happening. You know,
12:22
Speaker 1: there wasn't any war. But guess what the fact was
12:25
Speaker 1: that the reason it wasn't happening is the last president
12:28
Speaker 1: negotiated a year earlier. By the way I love it. There,
12:30
Speaker 1: there we go blame Trump and this idea that he's
12:34
Speaker 1: trying to get a bail out here saying why I
12:36
Speaker 1: inherited this mess? Right? I inherited this policy. If that's true,
12:40
Speaker 1: then then explain why you got rid of the Keystone pipeline.
12:43
Speaker 1: Which pipeline which is a policy that you inherited. You
12:49
Speaker 1: inherited a secure border and you did the opposite of
12:52
Speaker 1: that policy, So explain that logic away. You inherited a
12:59
Speaker 1: president that actually gave a crap about American citizens and
13:02
Speaker 1: made sure they weren't harmed by the Taliban. You change
13:06
Speaker 1: that policy. You inherited a policy of a present that
13:09
Speaker 1: was tough on China. You got rid of that one.
13:12
Speaker 1: You inherited energy independence, you got rid of that one.
13:16
Speaker 1: So this idea that you were somehow stuck to a
13:18
Speaker 1: policy of the other guy. So therefore it's really somehow
13:22
Speaker 1: jedi mind trick. His fault is insanity. It is total insanity.
13:32
Speaker 1: Now this present. By the way, new reports revealed the
13:34
Speaker 1: victim who clung to the US evac plane and fell
13:37
Speaker 1: from the sky was actually a child. And the response
13:42
Speaker 1: from this president should shake every single one of you
13:45
Speaker 1: to its core. His response was that was four or
13:48
Speaker 1: five days ago. In other words, move on, get over it,
13:54
Speaker 1: get over it, you know. He also tried to Jedi
13:56
Speaker 1: mind triggers on something else, saying, well, the Taliban is
13:59
Speaker 1: facing an existential threat. They aren't. They're not acting like it. Bro,
14:05
Speaker 1: They are certainly not acting like it. But Joe Biden
14:10
Speaker 1: sitting there trying to convince you that this is somehow
14:12
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault because you inherited a policy. But every
14:14
Speaker 1: other policy of Trump's that you inherited, you undid that
14:18
Speaker 1: he'd be out by May first, and that the return
14:21
Speaker 1: there'd be no attack on American forces that's what was done.
14:25
Speaker 1: That's why I know that was happening. But the idea
14:28
Speaker 1: if I had said I had a simple choice, if
14:31
Speaker 1: I had said we're going to stay, then we better
14:34
Speaker 1: be premire to put a whole hell of a lot
14:35
Speaker 1: more troops in Your top military advisers warned against was
14:38
Speaker 1: drawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about.
14:41
Speaker 1: They didn't. It was split. That wasn't true. Again, he
14:45
Speaker 1: just lied to you. He just lied to you. What
14:48
Speaker 1: you're hearing right now is a lie. This is one
14:54
Speaker 1: of the biggest lies he told in this interview. And
14:56
Speaker 1: if George Stepanopolis, in my opinion, had any any integrity
15:03
Speaker 1: as a journalist, he would say exactly that. He would say,
15:09
Speaker 1: this is a lie. Let's let's really think about where
15:15
Speaker 1: we are. You have a Taliban flag flying over the
15:17
Speaker 1: US embassy. You have fifteen thousand American prisoners in a
15:20
Speaker 1: terrorist state. You have civilians flying off American plains to
15:24
Speaker 1: their death. Now we note they also include children. The
15:27
Speaker 1: terrorist regime is armed with billions of dollars in US weapons.
15:32
Speaker 1: You're now seeing mass murder in these streets. Al kata
15:37
Speaker 1: anaisis now embolden and have a country and a trillion
15:40
Speaker 1: dollars worth of assets to fund themselves with making deals
15:44
Speaker 1: with Russians and Chinese, and Biden says this was his
15:49
Speaker 1: plan and his response to people flying the plan that
15:53
Speaker 1: was like four or five days ago. I mean, you
15:57
Speaker 1: think about how messed up the Democrats are right now.
15:59
Speaker 1: We've actually gone from defunding the police to arming terrorists.
16:03
Speaker 1: Defunding the police to arming terrorists. Think about that. You
16:09
Speaker 1: look at these highlights from Biden's interview quote, did not
16:13
Speaker 1: recall being warned by US military to not push ahead
16:16
Speaker 1: with his plan, did not know US had troops in
16:19
Speaker 1: Syria that was in the interview, did not know certain
16:22
Speaker 1: events in Kabble happened this week because he was on
16:24
Speaker 1: vacation and did not know people were getting killed. You
16:28
Speaker 1: seeing a pattern here. This guy clearly cannot handle what
16:33
Speaker 1: is happening. And Biden flatly denied reporting that he was
16:37
Speaker 1: advised to keep two thousand, five hundred troops in Afghanistan,
16:39
Speaker 1: and his own intelligence community is now throwing him under
16:41
Speaker 1: the bus for that lie in this interview. The Pentagon
16:46
Speaker 1: right now has just come out just showing how stupid
16:51
Speaker 1: this decision was to pull out of Afghanistan the way
16:53
Speaker 1: that we did, and they have now said, after being
16:56
Speaker 1: browbeat by reporters that yes, we can confirm that we
17:00
Speaker 1: do not know how many Americans are left in Afghanistan.
17:05
Speaker 1: We don't know. So the President Nited States America said
17:08
Speaker 1: he did it perfect, did it right? Do it again,
17:11
Speaker 1: refuses to back down and say he's screwed up or
17:13
Speaker 1: made a mistake. And you have a Pentagon now atmitting
17:17
Speaker 1: we have no idea how many Americans are there. We
17:19
Speaker 1: have no idea how many Americans could be held hostage.
17:21
Speaker 1: We have no idea how many of them could become
17:22
Speaker 1: propaganda for the Taliban. What we do know is the
17:27
Speaker 1: Taliban is intensifying their hunt for Afghans who work for
17:30
Speaker 1: the US and uk IS. They are now going door
17:32
Speaker 1: to door threatening relatives. United Nations is reporting this now
17:37
Speaker 1: and they're like not conservative folks. They are now reporting
17:41
Speaker 1: and warning. Despite the terror groups claims of amnesty for
17:45
Speaker 1: these people, the Jehattas are going door to door threatening
17:48
Speaker 1: families of those who have gone into hiding. The UN
17:51
Speaker 1: papers now warned the militants are resting and killing relatives.
17:55
Speaker 1: They are also stopping others trying to leave from the
17:58
Speaker 1: area around the Couple airport. Are going to the airport
18:02
Speaker 1: their reports of officials who have been shot dead after
18:04
Speaker 1: surrendering to the Taliban. They are intensifying their hunt for
18:08
Speaker 1: people who worked with the UK, US and NATO forces
18:10
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. This is coming from the UN. Of course,
18:14
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a confidential report internally within the UN.
18:17
Speaker 1: It's been leaked, thank goodness. Jihadis are going door to
18:20
Speaker 1: door killing relatives of civil servants, interpreters and other counselors staff,
18:26
Speaker 1: while other militants are even stopping people outside the Couple airport.
18:30
Speaker 1: Despite the Taliband's claim of amnesty, the UN says new
18:33
Speaker 1: video today shows fighters sprang Sprang assault rifle bullets just
18:40
Speaker 1: yards away from women and children gathered at the airport's perimeter.
18:43
Speaker 1: The UN dassier leak to the New York Times says
18:46
Speaker 1: the Taliban arresting and or killing or arresting family members
18:50
Speaker 1: of targeted individuals unless they surrender themselves the Taliban, and
18:53
Speaker 1: then when they surrender, they're being killed. Yeah, that's a
18:58
Speaker 1: letter dated three days ago. Just so you know. This letter.
19:04
Speaker 1: It contained a letter dated August the sixteenth from the
19:07
Speaker 1: Taliban to senior counter terrorism official in Afghanistan who had
19:09
Speaker 1: worked alongside the US and British officials. The letter ordered
19:12
Speaker 1: the man to report to the Military Intelligence Commission of
19:15
Speaker 1: the Islamic State of Afghanistan and Kabul. If he failed
19:18
Speaker 1: to do so, it warned that his family will be
19:20
Speaker 1: treated based on Sharia law, meaning they'll all be murdered.
19:23
Speaker 1: The senior Afghan official told The Telegraph they've been forcing
19:27
Speaker 1: a deep hiding to avoid the martyring fighters who they
19:30
Speaker 1: suspect of gain access to government employee databases. Earlier this week,
19:35
Speaker 1: former British army officials told the same paper that hundreds
19:39
Speaker 1: of elite Afghan soldiers had gone into hiding and we're
19:41
Speaker 1: trying to flee the country because they're now on the
19:44
Speaker 1: kill list and when they find them, they behead them
19:46
Speaker 1: and cut their arms off in torture them in the streets.
19:49
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Joe Biden real quick. Joe Biden says,
19:51
Speaker 1: I did this perfectly. There's nothing that could have gone
19:53
Speaker 1: wrong differently here. This was going to happen anyway, and
19:55
Speaker 1: I did it right now. He's also been caught in
19:59
Speaker 1: a major lyne George Stepanopolis asked him a question. I'm
20:02
Speaker 1: going to play this audio for you, but I want
20:03
Speaker 1: to read you the transcript first so you know exactly
20:06
Speaker 1: what to listen for. Here, Biden flatly denies reporting that
20:12
Speaker 1: he was advised to keep two thousand, five hundred troops
20:14
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. I'm going to read you George Stepanopolis's words
20:18
Speaker 1: so you understand what he said. He said, but your
20:21
Speaker 1: top military advisors had warned against withdrawing on this timeline.
20:25
Speaker 1: They wanted you to keep about two thousand and five
20:28
Speaker 1: hundred troops. Biden interrupts, No, they didn't. It was split
20:35
Speaker 1: that that wasn't true. That wasn't true, Biden stumbles. Stephanopolis,
20:41
Speaker 1: they didn't tell you that you wanted troops, that they
20:43
Speaker 1: wanted troops to stay. Question Mark Biden. No, no, no,
20:47
Speaker 1: not not in terms of whether we were going to
20:49
Speaker 1: get out in a time frame, all troops. They didn't
20:52
Speaker 1: argue against that, Stephanopolis, he knows he's right. By the way,
20:57
Speaker 1: Stephen Anopolis knows, everybody in the inteligin community was leaking
21:00
Speaker 1: and telling them. We told Biden not to do this,
21:02
Speaker 1: We told him to leave troops. So no one told you,
21:07
Speaker 1: by Stepanopolis says, your military advisors did not tell you, no,
21:12
Speaker 1: we should just keep two thousand and five hundred troops.
21:15
Speaker 1: It's been a stable situation for last several years. We
21:19
Speaker 1: can do that, We can continue to do that question
21:22
Speaker 1: Mark Biden even more angry. No, no one said that
21:26
Speaker 1: to me that I can recall. He knows he's busted. Look, George,
21:32
Speaker 1: the reason why it's been stable for a year is
21:35
Speaker 1: that because the last present said we're leaving. And here's
21:38
Speaker 1: the deal I want to make with you, Taliban. We're
21:41
Speaker 1: agreeing to leave if you agree not to attack us
21:43
Speaker 1: between now and the time we leave on May the first.
21:46
Speaker 1: So now it's Trump's fault again. He's pandering back to
21:49
Speaker 1: that Stepanopholis interjects, But your top military advisors warned against
21:55
Speaker 1: withdrawing on the timeline. They wanted you to keep two thousand,
21:58
Speaker 1: five hundred troops. Biden angry. No, they didn't. I'm going
22:04
Speaker 1: to play that audio for you so you can hear
22:06
Speaker 1: it now. And you know what the lies are. Military
22:08
Speaker 1: advisors warn't against was drawing on this timeline. They wanted
22:11
Speaker 1: you to keep about twenty five They didn't. It was split.
22:14
Speaker 1: That wasn't true. That wasn't true. They didn't tell you
22:18
Speaker 1: that they wanted troops to stay. No, not in terms
22:22
Speaker 1: of whether we were going to get out in a
22:24
Speaker 1: time frame, all troops. They didn't argue against that. So
22:29
Speaker 1: no one, no one told your military did not tell you, no,
22:32
Speaker 1: we should just keep twenty five hundred troops. It's been
22:34
Speaker 1: a stable situation for the less several years. We can
22:37
Speaker 1: do that, we can continue to do that. No no
22:39
Speaker 1: one said that to me that I can recall. Look, George,
22:43
Speaker 1: the reason why it has been stable for a year
22:46
Speaker 1: is because the last president said, we're leaving. And here's
22:50
Speaker 1: the deal I wanted to make with you Taliban. We're
22:53
Speaker 1: agreeing to leave if you agree not to attack us
22:55
Speaker 1: between now and the time we leave on May the first.
22:58
Speaker 1: But in two months after I were elected to office,
23:01
Speaker 1: how you have sworn in all of a sudden, I
23:04
Speaker 1: have a May one deadline, I have a made one deadline.
23:07
Speaker 1: I got one or two choices. Do I say we're staying?
23:11
Speaker 1: And do you think we would not have to put
23:13
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot more troops? We had one hundreds,
23:15
Speaker 1: We had tens of thousands of troops there before, tens
23:18
Speaker 1: of thousands. Do you think we would would have just said,
23:21
Speaker 1: no problem, don't worry about it. We're not going to
23:24
Speaker 1: attack anybody. We're okay in the meantime. But Taliban was
23:28
Speaker 1: taken territory all throughout the country, in the north and
23:32
Speaker 1: down in the south and the Pashtun. So would you
23:34
Speaker 1: have withdrawn troops like this even if President Trump had
23:37
Speaker 1: not made that deal with the Taliban, I would have
23:39
Speaker 1: tried to figure out how to withdraw those troops. Yes,
23:42
Speaker 1: because look, George, there is no good time to leave Afghanistan.
23:50
Speaker 1: Fifteen years ago would have been a problem. Fifteen years
23:53
Speaker 1: from now. The basic choice is am I going to
23:57
Speaker 1: send your sons and your daughters to war in Afghanistan?
24:02
Speaker 1: In Afghanistan in perpetuity? No one can name for me
24:07
Speaker 1: at time when this would end. And again this is
24:10
Speaker 1: the delusional high ground that Biden is going with right here,
24:14
Speaker 1: right Well, I'm not going to keep sending your children
24:16
Speaker 1: to war. So if you're caught behind enemy lines and
24:19
Speaker 1: you're the ten thousand are going to be murdered and
24:21
Speaker 1: massacred by the Taliban, hey, at least there's an end
24:23
Speaker 1: in sight. We also just got an official announcement. Remember
24:27
Speaker 1: the guy that we had in Getmo the guy that
24:29
Speaker 1: we traded for the deserter bo Bergdall in that prisoner
24:32
Speaker 1: swap when we negotiated with terrorists done under Biden and
24:35
Speaker 1: Obama administration. The new leader of the Taliban we had
24:40
Speaker 1: in Getmo. He's now in charge of the Taliban. Taliban
24:43
Speaker 1: officials have just announced the Taliban group will rule Afghanistan
24:49
Speaker 1: with sharia law, putting women back in the stone ages,
24:53
Speaker 1: and no democratic system. Four days ago they told us
24:56
Speaker 1: women were going to be in the government. Yeah, they lied.
25:01
Speaker 1: That's who we're trusting for our people's safety. Right now,
25:04
Speaker 1: Taliban officials announced the group will rule Afghanistan with sharial
25:07
Speaker 1: law and no democratic system. And the man who announces
25:11
Speaker 1: the same man that we had in get Mo that
25:15
Speaker 1: we let out and traded for the deserter bo Bergdahl.
25:20
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, all of this was avoidable. Every
25:27
Speaker 1: bit of it was avoidable, all of it. And this
25:36
Speaker 1: president is sitting there basically saying, I don't care what
25:41
Speaker 1: you say to me. I was right. Afghan women are
25:46
Speaker 1: throwing their babies over barb wire to save them. We
25:49
Speaker 1: have video now. Video is showing babies being passed to
25:53
Speaker 1: strangers and crowds to get them evacuated. People passing their
25:58
Speaker 1: infant children to others and a crowd ahead of them
26:00
Speaker 1: at the Kabol airport, hoping that the babies and toddlers
26:03
Speaker 1: will be evacuated and have a better life because they
26:05
Speaker 1: know they're going to be killed. Other reports indicated women
26:09
Speaker 1: were actually throwing their babies over the bob wire in
26:11
Speaker 1: a desperate attempt to save them because some of the
26:13
Speaker 1: soldiers wouldn't take them, and they basically said, well, if
26:15
Speaker 1: I throw them, you're gonna have to. Senior official said
26:19
Speaker 1: to Sky News. They have no choice because the situation's
26:22
Speaker 1: out of control. They said, the black abe will live
26:25
Speaker 1: with some of these soldiers for the rest of their lives.
26:27
Speaker 1: It's terrible. Women were throwing their babies over the razor
26:29
Speaker 1: wire asking the soldiers to please take them. Some of
26:33
Speaker 1: them got caught in the bob wire troops, reported. Another
26:38
Speaker 1: said our men are going to have to have counseling,
26:41
Speaker 1: saying every soldier cried last night. The report from Kabol
26:46
Speaker 1: by war correspondent of a news so it's one of
26:50
Speaker 1: the most upsetting stories they've ever published. At the Kibol airport,
26:54
Speaker 1: a parachute regiment officer told Kim that Afghan mothers have
26:57
Speaker 1: been trying to throw their babies over the bob wire
27:00
Speaker 1: to British servicemen as well, in the hopes that their
27:02
Speaker 1: children can be saved from life under the Taliban. Some
27:05
Speaker 1: of the babies did not reach the troops. The Washington
27:08
Speaker 1: Post this morning printing an article describing what life was
27:12
Speaker 1: like for some children the last time the Taliban rolled
27:15
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan from ninety six to one quote, the outside
27:18
Speaker 1: world got periodic glimpses into the country, even though taking
27:22
Speaker 1: photos was forbidden. There was video of an African mother
27:25
Speaker 1: forced to kneel in the stadium, shot dead between the
27:28
Speaker 1: goal posts. There were photos of children dying of preventable
27:31
Speaker 1: illnesses in a dilapidated pediatric hospital the US State Department
27:37
Speaker 1: in November one, just after the United States had out
27:39
Speaker 1: of the Taliban from power quote. Under Taliban rule, women
27:42
Speaker 1: were given only the most rudimentary access to healthcare and
27:46
Speaker 1: medical care, thereby endangering the health of women and in
27:48
Speaker 1: turn their families. In most hospitals, male physicians could only
27:51
Speaker 1: examine a female patient if she was fully clothed, ruling
27:54
Speaker 1: out the possibility of meaningful diagnosis and treatment. Sharia law's
27:59
Speaker 1: coming back. According to the United Nations International Children Emergency
28:04
Speaker 1: Fund UNA South, one hundred and sixty five of every
28:06
Speaker 1: thousand babies died before their first birthday in Afghanistan under
28:10
Speaker 1: Taliban rule. And they just said they're bringing back the
28:13
Speaker 1: same laws that allowed this to happen. And Joe Biden says,
28:15
Speaker 1: couldn't have done a better job than I did trying
28:17
Speaker 1: to get people out. We did it perfect, he said
28:20
Speaker 1: today in this interview. Wouldn't change a thing, wouldn't do
28:23
Speaker 1: anything different. I say it every day, and I'll ask
28:26
