• 0:00
  Speaker 1: New reports out the US actually turned down an offer
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to control Kabul during the evacuation. It has now been
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: confirmed by our government. That's right, We actually gave the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: city to the Taliban. This as Joe Biden is continuing
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to say over and over again that this was a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: great success. What happened. Remember when Joe Biden lied to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you and said, not just forget lying to us, he
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: lied to the people trapped in Afghanistan as we speak
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: by saying this to them. Let me be clear, any
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: American wants to come home, we will get you home.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That's a lie that was not true, never was true,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and they knew the entire time that it was a lie.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But leaving behind hundreds and hundreds of Americans and others
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: who actually even saved his life. Yeah translated, that saved
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's life. I'm going to tell you his story
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in just a moment, is begging together the country before
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the Taliban finds him and kills him. We are now
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: being told though, no matter what we think, no matter
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: what we say, Biden psychotically says, Afghanistan is a success.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: You're welcome. Pat him on the back. No nation, no nation,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: has ever done anything like it in all of history.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The only the United States had the capacity, the will,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the ability to do it, and we did it today.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: We didn't do anything, by the way, we didn't do
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: anything but leave Americans behind. We didn't do anything, but you,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: as commander in chief, concede forfeit surrender to the Taliban.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me to celebrate this. We left Americans behind.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: No other present history has done what you did. The
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: extraordinary success of this mission, it's not an extraordinary success.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: It's an extraordinary success for the Taliban. And remember when
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden said he was going to get Americans out,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: he lied to you. Now he's saying, this is an
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: incredible success because we got ninety percent of the people,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: so we left ten percent behind. Who cares, right, they'll die.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So what the bottom line of Americans in Afghanistan who
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: wanted to leave, We're able to leave. Yeah, the other ones,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you're screwed. Representative Waltz was on Hannity and he had
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this to say about the reality of where we are today.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Sick to their stomach. So many of us, you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: have suffered in fighting these thugs for so many years.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I've they've beheaded one of my interpreters in front of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: his entire family. I've seen the machine gun a girls
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: school with the girls still in it, and and just
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: brutally terrorize anyone who doesn't comport to their version of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Sharia law. But we are about to see the Biden
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: administration had a mountain of leverage on a silver platter
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in the form of American citizens that are now hostages,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and then pay them ransom in the form of humanitarian
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: aid as they lurched towards recognizing this Islamic emry. That's right,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: your tax sellars were now being told are quite possibly
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: going to go to the Taliban. The Biden administration is
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: now considering giving Taliban direct aid despite sanctions and terror
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: ties as basically payments to possibly get them to not
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: kill as many Americans as we've left behind. The United
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: States is now in direct talks about financial aid and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: economic assistance to the Taliban, a terrorist organization, despite international
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: sanctions placed on the group over its material support for
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Radicalislamic terrorism, and despite nearly two decades of considering the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Taliban a swarm enemy of the United States of America.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Biden's National security advisor Jake Sullivan told ABC News is
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: George stepanopolis that the US is absolutely considering aid. Quote
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: there's an important dimension of humanitarian assistants that should go
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: directly to the people of Afghanistan. Well, how's that going
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to happen when the Taliban's in charge of the the bank? Accout,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you idiots, You really think the Taliban's gonna start diving
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: out cash to help people? Quote They need to help
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: with respect to health and food, aid in other forms
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of substances, and we do intend to continue to help them. Secondly,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: when it comes to our economic and development assistance relationship
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: with the Taliban, the white out said, that will be
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: about the Taliban's actions. That will be about whether they
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: followed through on their commitment to save passages for Americans
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and African allies. All right, so we're going to bribe
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: them to give us back our American systems that you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: guys left behind. That's been your plan the entire time.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: We'll just get the hell out, have a press conference.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Say hey, ninety percent of you should be pretty excited
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about this because we got you out. This was a success,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: because ninety percent of you got out. The bottom line
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave we're able
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to leave. Forget the fact that you had a bunch
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of American men and women in uniform, thirteen of them
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: die because of your actions. As one mother put it,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a dead marine's grieving mother blasted Biden, saying he is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a feckless, dementia ridden piece of crap and he sent
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: my son to die. Of course, the media is not
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: going to report on her comments, right because why would
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you say that. Representive Ronnie Jackson said, Americans have been
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: left in Afghanistan defend for themselves. Now congressmen and senators
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: are begging others to help get them out. We have
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: American men and women in uniform who are actually risking
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: their lives, risking their lives in the private sector, Folks
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to go over there and try to get out people
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that help them. And if you want to know how
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: much Joe Biden sucks, one of Joe Biden's interpreters, an
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: interpreter that helped save Joe Biden's life, is now begging
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for the president to please get him out of the country.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Begging for the president to get him out. What Sancy
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Pelosi doing. She blocked conservative members of Congress at GOP
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: from reading the names of the slain US troops from
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the four of the House. That's how far our nation
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: has fallen. The Speaker of the House is refusing to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: allow Congressmen to actually read the names of the American
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: troops who were killed senselessly in Afghanistan because of Joe
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Biden's leadership. Indiana congresswoman even asked Biden, what do I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: tell constituents that he abandoned in Afghanistan represented Victoria's Sparks.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Republican Indiana demanded to know President Joe Biden's plan and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the US Secretary of State Anthony B. Lincoln's action plan
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: for the Americans stranded and Taliban controlled Afghanistan to tell
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: her constituents. Quote, in the aftermath of your administrations mishandling
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan, is estimated that hundreds of Americans are
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: begging to leave Afghanistan, were abandoned and remained in Taliban
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: controlled country facing terror and death. The congressmen said that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: her office has been in contact with an American left
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in the country by the Biden administration. She had that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the person she was in contact with was not assisted
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: by the offices set up by the Biden administration before
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the withdrawal was complete. She's asking for answers from Biden
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and b Lincoln as to what information she can provide
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to the Americans that were stranded in Afghanistan by Biden.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: The congressman said she would need the information for anyone
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that may survive the coming days and reach out to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: her and her staff, saying it is critical that we
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: have information as soon as possible. American lives depend on
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: your administration's direction. The congressman tweeted out a letter of
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the copy of the letter saying, I sent a letter
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to Biden and blinkoln requesting his action plan for abandoned
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Americans in Afghanistan. We've gotten nothing back. Biden, of course,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: addressing the nation for the first time since quote fully
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: leaving Afghanistan, admitted, yeah, okay, I'm leaving ten percent of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Americans in the country, but we'll figure it out. Additionally,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: cannot give the exact number of Americans left in the country,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: echoing what Secretary of State b Lincoln said the day before, saying,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: what we believe there's still a small number of Americans
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: under two hundred, likely closer to a hundred. He remained
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan and want to leave Lincoln said, does anybody believe
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the number, because I sure as hell don't. I don't
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: believe that number at all. When you leave people behind
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that actually saved your life, as Joe Biden did, Joe
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Biden's interpreter. Okay, Joe Biden's interpreter was left behind that
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: saved his life. A lot of people don't know this story.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden was on a helicopter that was forced to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: land in snow in Afghanistan with two other senators, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: there was a man that came, an interpreter that came
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and helped save their lives. That interpreter now is begging
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden to please get him out of the country.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So far, Joe Biden has not helped the man that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: saved his life an Afghanistan interpreter. This Afghanistan interpreter who
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: helped rescue Senator Joe Biden and two other sentators in
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: two thousand and eight is now begging Joe Biden to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: police saved my life, Police save me and my family,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: or his exact words. A lot of people don't know
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: this incredible story. Senator Joe Biden and two other senators
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight We're in a helicopter that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: had to abruptly land in a snowstorm. He's begging the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: president to help after being left behind in Afghanistan, Opting
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to only go by the name Mohammed in fear of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: giving away his identity, the Afghan interpreter has now begged
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal police tell his story. He's now
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: hiding from the Taliban and Kabol alongside his wife and children,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: desperately hoping to escape the country. Hello, mister present, save
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: me and my family, Mohammed told the outlet. Don't forget me.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I can't leave my house. I'm extremely scared. It's three
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: wind back to two thousand and eight. Mohammed was serving
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: as an interpreter for the US Army in Afghanistan when
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: he participated in a potentially dangerous mission to save three
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: US centers, Joe Biden, John Kerry, and Chuck Hagel. Joe
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Biden a Democrat, carry a Democrat, Hagel a Republican. Mohammed
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was a thirty six year old interpret at the time
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: for the US Army when the two US Army black
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Hawk helicopters had to make an emergency landing in Afghanistan
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: during a blinding snowstorm. According to Army veterans who worked
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: with the interpreter at the time, the scary part was
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you had three US centers that were vulnerable, three year
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: centers that could actually be taken hostage or killed or
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: beheaded by the Taliban. They found them first. Those three
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: senators knew they were in trouble. Private security team with
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: former firm Blackwater and US Army soldiers monitored for any
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: nearby Taliban fighters. When the helicopters were forced to land,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the crew sent on an urgent call for help. Bagram
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Airfield was where Mohammed was. He jumped into a humby
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: with a quick reaction force from the Arizona National Guard
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: working with the eighty second Airborne Division, and drove hours
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: into the nearby mountains to rescue them. This has all
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: been confirmed by a staff sergeant in the Arizona National Guard,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Brian Genthey, who brought Mohammed along on the rescue mission
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: because without him they wouldn't be able to communicate with
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the locals. When the rescue team arrived at the landing
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: site of those two black Hawk helicopters, Mohammed stood guard
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: on one side of the helicopter. He would often use
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a bullhorn to warn curious locals that they got too
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: close to the helicopters they would be shot while they
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: were not in what was quote considered enemy territory at
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the moment. Soldiers who served in the area at the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: time said just one day prior, less than twenty four
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: hours before, the eighty second airborne had killed nearly two
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: dozen Taliban insurgents in a major fight just ten miles away.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: As a Taliban encroached upon Kabbal, Mohammed's visa application became
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: quote stuck after the defense contractor he worked for lost
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the records he needed for his application, The interpret told
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. When Kabbal fell, Mohammed tried fleeing
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the country through the airport, where US forces told him, quote,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: my wife and children would not be allowed to join me.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Our soldiers told him that, clearly taking their orders from
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration. When a Wall Street Journal reporter read
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: mohammed his message to the White House Press Secretary Jen
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Psaki at the press briefing room, she thanked him for
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: his service and vowed to bring him home. Quote, we
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: will get you out, Jen Psaki said, we will honor
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: your service. There's no indication that they've done anything at
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: this point to get him out. This is who Joe
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Biden is now. He'll leave a guy behind that even
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: saved his own life after he had to make an
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: emergency landing, and then he'll look at you and tell
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you it's a success that we got ninety percent of
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: people out and only left ten percent behind. The bottom
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: line of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave, we're
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: able to leave. That's his new definition of success. Former
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Obama officials are ripping Biden's disaster. A montage that's been
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: put together by the RNC gives you different voices. You
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: may remember. You're going to hear j Johnson, Obama's Secretary
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. You're gonna hear Leon Panetto, Obama's CIA director.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: You're gonna hear Ryan Croaker, Obama's Afghan Ambassador. You're gonna
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: hear David Petreus, Obama's CIA director as well. You're gonna
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: hear Mike Mullan, obama Joint Chiefs Chairman. These are some
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of the people that I am about to play for you,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: including James Cunningham, Obama's Afghan ambassador. They're all now criticizing
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, saying what he has done, mark that he
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is three two one saying that what he has done
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is reprehensible, it's disgusting, and people will die because of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's ability to screw things up. Remember Barack Obama
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: actually said, never underestimate Joe Biden's ability to blank things up.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Remember Osama bin Laden actually told the Taliban, under no
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: circumstances are you to target the Vice President Joe Biden
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: because he believed that if he able to take over
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: America that it would be good for the Taliban, because
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he would screw things up and is not equipped for
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the job. Take a listen to Obama's former Obama when
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: we do that again three two one, take a listen
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to all these former Obama administration officials are ripping Biden's
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan disaster that he says is a success, collapse rapidly
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: because of the way in which week we got out.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I think of John Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: You'd unfolded quickly, and the President thought that everything would
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: be fine, and that was not the case. It has
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: created a global crisis quite frankly, you cannot defend the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: execution here. This has been a disaster. Well, they clearly
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: were caught off guard by the events of less seventy
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: two hours. How his decision was made to withdraw, but
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: then its execution, which has been so far catastrophic. Our
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: national security is threatened. This is a Dunkirk moment, or
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: perhaps the Saigon moment. This tragedy was completely preventable. Nobody
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: wants the Sigon image, and obviously we ended up with
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: another Sigon image. It's kind of like the Dunkirk evacuation.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: We do have to regard the recent turn of events
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: as creating a real risk of another terrorist organization, whether
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: it's seisus k al Qaeda trying to re establish a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: foothold in Afghanistan. It's a really rough tine. It didn't
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: need to be this way. The fact that there was
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: little to no real planning done. I'm left with some
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: great question in my mind about his ability, speaking about
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the president to lead our nation as commander in chief,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: to have read this so wrong, or even worse, to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: have understood what was likely to happen and not care
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: admit the mistakes that were made. So they were behind
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the curve from the beginning of the announcement. The situation
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: is absolutely heartbreaking. It is tragic, it's disastrous, and the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: execution in particular does not speak to oetancy. They will
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: provide a safe haven for al Qaida. It's a failure
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and he needs to own that failure. He's the commander
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: in chief. It has him bolden violence Islamic radicals. So
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: they might be doing a little bit of high fiving.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: They might be doing a little bit of high fiving
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: referring to the Taliban. Every single voice that you just
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: heard was a former Obama official, every one of them.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: None of those were Republicans, none of those were conservatives,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: none of those were partisan hacks. That was all Obama
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: administration officials that worked with Joe Biden. We was the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: vice president. But hey, we got ninety percent of people out.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: That's our new definition of success in America. The bottom
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: line of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave, We're
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: able to leave. You don't know something else that's messed up.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: How derange this guy is. Biden contradicts his own statement, saying,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: remember that this was quite a good exit, a good exit,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: then saying a poor exit was inevitable, so no one
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: could have done any better than I did. Now, some
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: say we should have started mass evacuation sooner, and couldn't
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: this have been done? Have been done in a more
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: orderly manner? I respectfully disagree. Imagine if we'd begun evacuations
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in June or July, bringing in thousands of American troops
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and evacuating more than one hundred and twenty thousand people
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a civil war, there still would
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: have been a rush to the airport, a breakdown and
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: confidence and control of a government, and it still would
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: have been very difficult and dangerous mission. The bottom line is,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: there is no evacuation, evacuation from the end of a
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: war that you can run without the kinds of complexities, challenges,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: threats we faced none. So which one is it? Biden
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: says we made a good exit, says it was great.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Then he says that poor exit was inevitable, that no
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: one could have done any better than we did, No
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: one could have done anything any different than we did it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Which one is it? I'm genuinely confused now, which one
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: is it? Man? This is a man that when he
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: said to the Americans in Afghanistan and the family members
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: of America begging for him to save their family members Afghanistan,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that we are going to get everybody out, and he
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: knew it was a lie when he said it. We're
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: now being told that he knew when he said this
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: that it was a lie, that he was looking at
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: you and lying to you. Let me be clear, an
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: American who wants to come home, we will get you home.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: That was a lie, and when he said it, he
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: knew it was a lie. Joining me now to talk
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: about this is US Senator Bill Haggerty, who is helping
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: desperately to get Americans out of the country, trying not
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to leave people behind, which Joe Biden definitely has done. Senator,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the President was yelling at Americans in his I did
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: it video to the world. I did it. It was
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a success, it was an extraordinary success. Biden amts by
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the way that he's stranded ten percent of Americans in Afghanistan.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: What are you telling people that may be calling your office?
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was a congresswoman that asked the same question.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: She said to Anthony Lincoln to President Joe Biden, what
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: do I tell Americans stranded and the Taliban controlled Afghanistan.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: To my constituents that are calling, I don't know what
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: America's plan is, do you know? I think the plan
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that was designed was a press plan, a press release.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: That's what Joe Bien focused on. A press release that
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: was going to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of nine to
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: eleven and the fact that he'd retrieved all US soldiers
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: from Afghanistan. That's what they put their attention to, is
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the media and the spin, not to owning this, not
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to implementing it properly. And I tell you, putting an
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: arbitrary deadline in place. I've advised against this from the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: very beginning. The deadline. The only deadline should be when
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: we get the last American out of there. They did
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: not heed my advice, nor did they heed the advice
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of many military advisors in the Secretary of State. As
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I understand it, he just set his deadline to make
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: certain that the press release worked. Well, you know what,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the American public aren't buying, Nancy Pelosi, and this was
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a shocking move that has not gotten a lot of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: media attention. We are being told blocked Republican members of
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Congress from reading the names of the slain US troops.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: A new report is said Republican representatives blasting the speaker
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: after they say she deliberately blocked them from reading the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: names of the thirteen US service members who were killed
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: in Afghanistan on the House four. I don't even I
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: can't even get my head wrapped around this. Why would
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: you block that? I think it just goes to the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: overall strategy that the Democrat leadership is deploying to divert responsibility,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to spin this and hope it goes away in the medium.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: It's not going to happen, and I'll tell you it's
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: just heartbreaking when I see that sort of disrespect. The
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: hardest part of my job is the call that I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: had to make just this Sunday. This past Sunday, I
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: had to call the family of one of our slain soldiers,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: one of those thirteen. He's from Knoxville, Tennessee, a twenty
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: three year old staff sergeant. I spoke with his parents.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I told him that the people of Tennessee's heart go
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: out to him, that we appreciate and respect service that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: he provided, the fact that he was willing to risk
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: his life to extract Americans to help others It's the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: ultimate sacrifice that he made, and we will always remember
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: him and respect him for that. That's the only way
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that we can possibly as Americans addressed us. We can't
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: squeep it under the rug. We can't act as if
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: it didn't happen. Nancy Pelosi is so out of tune
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: right now and so out of touch with America, just
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: like Joe Biden. Erican public will not stand for this.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: President Biden delivering these remarks in the White House on
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the end of the war in Afghanistan the day after
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the last American military planes left the country, and he
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: says it's a success, admitting by his own numbers that
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: ten percent of Americans were left behind. What's even more
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: shocking is we actually got out almost twenty four hours
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: before the real deadline. What was the logic or the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: reasoning behind that? I mean, why didn't we use those
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: last twenty hours to try to make one more run?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: And we were told that of the last five airplanes
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: that left, not a single American civilian was on any
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: of those airplanes. How did that happen? Well, if I
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: go back to my days serving as US ambassador, I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: had to put in place what's called a noncombatant evacuation operation.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I was ambassador to Japan, the third largest economy in
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the world. On any given day, we would have had
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a quarter of a million Americans in that country. And
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you remember, Ben, when I was ambassadors, the North Rians
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: began to fly intercontinental ballistic vessles over Japan. I completely
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: reward my noncombatant evacuation plan. We call him NEO plan
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: for short. I completely rewart my NEO But I had
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a plan to gather, to process, and to flow Americans
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: under every scenario. I'll tell you this without giving away
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the classified portions of my plan. The last thing you
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: would do is move the military out first, which was
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the initial which the initial execution error that the Biden
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: administration made in Afghanistan. The fact that military run the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: last plans that would be consistent with the planning horizon,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: except for the fact that they were willing to leave
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Americans behind, except for the fact that they would not
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: go out and extract Americans who couldn't get to the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: cobble gate. They left Americans in a position in a
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: posture where they could not help themselves. Yet that was
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the message that they were getting from the State Department
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: get yourself to the gate, undertake your own risk. This
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: is totally inexplicable to the average American citizen, and it's
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: impossible for me to understand as well. You know, you
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: look at Joe Biden yesterday, he was trying to blame
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, saying why I kind of inherited this pullout?
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump warned, and is on the record, and the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: media knows this. He warned against a hasty withdrawal from
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan four years ago. Four years ago in Fort Meyer
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: in Virginia, at Fort Myer and Virginia, Trump delivered a
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: speech outlined the strategy in Afghanistan in South Asia, where
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: he said the nation quote must seek an honorable and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: enduring outcome, were they of the tremendous sacrifices made and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: warned that a quote hasty withdrawal could create a vacuum
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: for terrorists in the country. His warning, he said, was
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: very clear. We will not have a disastrous withdrawal. We
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: will do it in the right way, and we will
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: make sure it's orderly. Fast forward seven months in of
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's presidency and he's like, hey, it's a good day.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I know. We had a bunch of Americans die. I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: know we left some dogs behind, but it was an
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: unbelievable success. I know there's hundreds of Americans left behind.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Is there any plan to get them out? I mean,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I know they say, well, they're going through the State Department,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: but the reality is the Taliban is not going to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: let them leave just randomly go to an airport, jump
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: on a plane. Am I right. It's very hard to
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: imagine that scenario that you just describe being. I think
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a continuing effort in behalfs
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: of the American government. You know that we've got assets
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the Taliban wants. They want to be recognized internationally. This
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: could turn out, and I pray it doesn't, but this
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: could turn out to be a massive hostage situation where
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the Taliban uses now these American assets that we need,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: our American citizens, and tries to use them to leverage
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration to get what they want. We need
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to be putting in place plans to get those Americans out, however,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: we need to do it, and the Biden administration, I pray,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: is working on this right now. It doesn't seem that
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: they're working on much more than I press release. It
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: seems like they are accepting the fact that Americans will die.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you leave behind hundreds of Americans, you
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: know you're not going to get every one of them out,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: just based on statistics and based on the Taliban and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: based on their actions. I mean, we know the tali
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Band well, we know their terrorist organization. No matter what
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you try to, you know, change them out. I mean
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you look at Operation you know, Pineapple Express, where US
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: vets are volunteering to secretly rescue allies in Afghanistan. How
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: did we fall so much as a country. We're now
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: guys in the military having to go rogue basically to
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: save the people that help them. How we even know
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that the an interpreter that helped save Joe Biden's life
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: when his helicopter was forced to lay in Afghanistan and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a snowstorm is begging the president now to save him
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: and his family. He's in cabole, we now know, and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: this guy he was left to die. I saw that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I think it just goes to the fact that the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: American public was sold a bill of goods in the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. They tried to present Joe Biden to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: some sort of stable handed you know, foreign policy expert
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: that knows how to navigate in a cool handed way
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: all types of international situations. This is based on the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: fact that he was a career politician in Washington. Well,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: we didn't have was a business person like myself, like
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: President Trump, somebody that understands how to execute and get
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: things done. What we got was somebody that lives press
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: release to press release, and for him to try to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: spin and deflect this rather than own the responsibility of
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: those American citizen vife is infuriating to every American, particularly
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: those soldiers that are putting together this operation right now
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: to go back and rescue them. They know that they've
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: given their lives, that they've risked their lives to help
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Americans precisely this predicament and the fact that Joe Biden
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: wants to turn his back on it is nauseating to us. All.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I'll add this one of the worst possible outcomes as well,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: is the fact that Joe Biden has left behind some
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: eighty to ninety billion dollars worth of the world's best,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: most sophisticated military equipment that's in Afghanistan right now. They
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: are fully armed and to the extent they can't utilize
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: this against us. In this cauldron of terror that he's created,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: It's going to become the biggest arms bizarre in the world. Russia, China, Iran,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: they'll be there buying and reverse engineering everything they don't
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: already have. I mean, this is a disaster of epic
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: proportions on so many levels in Joe Biden Act. Thing is,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: though he can blame this on the previous administration. Look,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: he certainly ignore President Trump's stay in Mexico policies that
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: were so successful. To pour that up right away and
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: crash the border, the Keystone Extol pipeline, no trouble on
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: doing that. Everything that he's done has been almost in
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: spite of Trump. And then suddenly here he is saying
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: that Trump tied his hands. He's got to abide by
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: something that Trump did. This isn't even the plan that
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Trump had a place again, spinning, deflecting and focusing on
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the press release that's disguise him up. Last question for you,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Senator Bill Haggardy, my guest, today, we know that China
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: says they will use the Belt and Road Initiative to
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: create universal quote rules and standards in Afghanistan. They want
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the trillion dollars in resources lit even other things in
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the ground there. They're willing to do whatever deal they
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: got to get done with a Taliban, to give them protection,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to give them security, to make sure that the UN
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: or others don't come down on them. Any time that
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: there is a vacuum avoid we know who's going to
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: take it over. It is Asia, is is China, And
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: this is what they're now doing. How concerning is it
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: that China's going to roll in there, put in these roads,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: prop up the taliban, protect them from sanctions, and also
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: they're going to say, hey, we're gonna give you guys
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: protection so that America can never come back in because
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: if we're here in a major way, then America is
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: out in a major way. Your thoughts on that. Lastly,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's entirely predictable. When they talk about their
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Belt and Road initiative. They're going to set standards that
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: sue China, meaning they're going to put Huawei infrastructure there,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: They're going to control the Taliban, They're going to control
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the country what they want or the natural resources that
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: are there. And you think about the human standards, it's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: going to be the same standards that apply to the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: weier population in China. They can hear less about human rights.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: This will be yet another source of slave labor, It'll
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: be a source of natural resource extraction, and this will
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: be yet another place that'll be a strategic location for
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: them to continue to extend their power and their influence.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: That's all this is about, is expanding China's power and
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: presence in the world, and the Afghan citizenry will be
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: the victims of it. Then they'll pay up Taliban in
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the process. I leave it to Joe Biden as this
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: new report coming out from the Washington Post saying the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: US quote rejected an offer to control the city of
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Kabbal during the evacuation, instead purposely handed over the city
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: to the Taliban. Only Joe Biden could be dumb enough
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to do that. Send your car breaking. I saw the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: same report. It's sad. I appreciate your time. Thank you, sir.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: We'll have you back again real soon. Make sure you
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: share this. Please share this podcast on social media, Text
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: it to your friends, let them know about this so
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that more people will hear it. And I'll see you
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: back here tomorrow.
