Speaker 1: So Joe Biden wants you to believe that everything's going
0:03
Speaker 1: smoothly in Afghanistan getting American troops out. He even did
0:08
Speaker 1: a Sunday update for you to let you know that, Hey,
0:11
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be just fine. But what's happening in Afghanistan.
0:16
Speaker 1: He can't even run full from the situation. And couple,
0:20
Speaker 1: for example, has turned so bad that for any American
0:26
Speaker 1: trying to get to the airport, they are now being
0:30
Speaker 1: beaten and their passports are being confiscated. US Congressman Dan
0:40
Speaker 1: Crenshaw tweeted out earlier, I have firsthand reports of an
0:43
Speaker 1: eighteen month old beaten to keep the parents back. That's right,
0:50
Speaker 1: an American family caught in Afghanistan. They beat the eighteen
0:55
Speaker 1: month old child so the parents would retreat. Joe Biden
1:01
Speaker 1: has not taken any action to stop eighteen month old
1:04
Speaker 1: children from being beaten. Joe Biden has not taken action
1:09
Speaker 1: to allow our forces to push out past the gates
1:12
Speaker 1: to assist people that have the right paperwork. We know
1:17
Speaker 1: that now, and we know that things are getting worse.
1:23
Speaker 1: ABC News reporter even went out and shattered Biden's claims
1:30
Speaker 1: that the Taliban is letting Americans, and this is what
1:33
Speaker 1: they've been trying to tell you. This is what they've
1:36
Speaker 1: been saying. They've been saying, well, don't worry, because we've
1:40
Speaker 1: been you know, Joe Biden in the White House. They said, hey,
1:44
Speaker 1: these Americans are getting through. We're trusting the Taliban to
1:48
Speaker 1: allow Americans get through, and there's no indication they're not
1:51
Speaker 1: allowing them to get through. That is a line. We
1:53
Speaker 1: have videos now proving it. We have videos now proving
1:58
Speaker 1: that this is a total lie. Bull through the airport.
2:02
Speaker 1: We've made an agreement with the Taliban. Thus far they've
2:05
Speaker 1: allowed them to go through. It's and they're interested to
2:08
Speaker 1: go through. So we know of no circumstance where American
2:12
Speaker 1: citizens are carrying an American passport or trying to get
2:16
Speaker 1: through to the airport. That's a lie. Joe Biden just
2:20
Speaker 1: lied to you. Joe Biden just lied to save face.
2:24
Speaker 1: Joe Biden knew when he said that, and he had
2:26
Speaker 1: been in his intelligence cables had told him that what
2:30
Speaker 1: he was saying right then, and there is a lie.
2:32
Speaker 1: And now they're beating the children. So the parents were
2:34
Speaker 1: retreat and not try to go to the airport. Joe
2:37
Speaker 1: Biden has refused to allow our men and women in
2:39
Speaker 1: the military to get outside of the gates. He is
2:43
Speaker 1: not allowed our men and women in uniform to do
2:46
Speaker 1: their jobs, to go out and get people. Marcus Latrelle,
2:50
Speaker 1: who is known as the Lone Survivor, he took politics
2:55
Speaker 1: out of it when he made an appearance on TV
2:56
Speaker 1: this week, just saying, mister president slids to her job.
3:00
Speaker 1: Just let us go do our job. We'll get every
3:02
Speaker 1: American out. They didn't leave me behind. They found me
3:04
Speaker 1: in a hole. Because in America we have a never
3:09
Speaker 1: leave someone behind mentality. We send the entire way to
3:13
Speaker 1: the United States of America to go get Americans when
3:15
Speaker 1: they are left behind, because we don't leave them behind.
3:17
Speaker 1: As president, just let us do our job. We're ready
3:20
Speaker 1: to go. Give me twelve guys, as he put it,
3:22
Speaker 1: just let me go and do my job. ABC reporter
3:29
Speaker 1: on the ground shattered Biden's claims on ABC News tonight,
3:35
Speaker 1: right after Joe Biden. I'm gonna play it for you
3:37
Speaker 1: again because I want you to hear it. Joe Biden
3:40
Speaker 1: his own words, lying to every American telling you, oh,
3:44
Speaker 1: there's no problems in Kabul, there's no issues there. You
3:47
Speaker 1: can go to the airport in the Taliban, they're letting
3:49
Speaker 1: you walk right through. We know Taliban beating Americans. We
3:52
Speaker 1: know that the Taliban is taking American passports, and now
3:55
Speaker 1: they're beating children. Eighteen month old infant children be able
3:58
Speaker 1: to get in Couble through the airport. We've made an
4:01
Speaker 1: agreement with the Taliban. Thus far they've allowed them to
4:04
Speaker 1: go through it, and they're interested to go through. So
4:07
Speaker 1: we know of no circumstance where American citizens are carrying
4:12
Speaker 1: an American passport or trying to get through to the airport.
4:15
Speaker 1: Is that square with purporting on the ground, I mean,
4:17
Speaker 1: just totally not. I mean, the reaction was pretty much
4:21
Speaker 1: one of I mean, it was breathtaking, no indication Americans
4:24
Speaker 1: can't get to the airport. I mean, last nights on
4:26
Speaker 1: World News, we had American citizens who had exactly that experience.
4:31
Speaker 1: They tried to get to the airport, They had waighd
4:33
Speaker 1: their American passports. The President talked about all they had
4:36
Speaker 1: to do was present their passports and they'd be allowed through.
4:39
Speaker 1: They were beaten by the Taliban with the rubber fan
4:43
Speaker 1: belt from a vehicle. Multiple examples of Americans and Afghans
4:48
Speaker 1: SIV applicants who have now tried repeatedly, as one woman
4:52
Speaker 1: we're tracking. She's back at the airport tonight. This is
4:54
Speaker 1: a third night in the row. The gates haven't opened,
4:57
Speaker 1: the Taliban haven't let her through. It just seems the
5:01
Speaker 1: reality and the rhetoric Miles apart. Now, now I love
5:06
Speaker 1: that it says the rhetoric or Miles apart, it's not
5:08
Speaker 1: the rhetoric. It's the lie. It's not rhetoric. It's a lie.
5:13
Speaker 1: Let's call it a lie. Let's not act like it's
5:15
Speaker 1: news to answer the question, acting like, oh, you're overreacting. Yeah,
5:18
Speaker 1: so some people got beaten that we're American systems and
5:22
Speaker 1: almost it's almost like this administration is like, well, but
5:24
Speaker 1: did you die? Right? Like, did you die? No? Okay, well,
5:29
Speaker 1: then stop complaining. Assessment of the situation on the ground
5:32
Speaker 1: and that he's saying that Secretary Austin specifically acknowledged that
5:37
Speaker 1: Americans were being beaten on their way to the airport.
5:40
Speaker 1: Can you give us any more detail about what who
5:44
Speaker 1: these Americans are that Secretor Austin was talking about. We've
5:48
Speaker 1: actually been talking about this for several days here here
5:51
Speaker 1: at this particular podium. We we know of cases, a
5:56
Speaker 1: small number that we know of, and we don't have
5:58
Speaker 1: perfect visibility, but we know of a small number of
6:00
Speaker 1: cases where some Americans and certainly, as the Secretary also
6:05
Speaker 1: said in that statement, Afghans, Afghans that we want to evacuate.
6:11
Speaker 1: Not it wasn't just Americans that he talked about have
6:14
Speaker 1: been harassed and in some cases beaten. We don't believe
6:18
Speaker 1: it is a very large number. And in a matter
6:21
Speaker 1: of fact, the numbers would indicate and I've said this,
6:25
Speaker 1: I love this. Basically, it's not a large number of folks.
6:28
Speaker 1: So calm down, right, it makes everything better, Like it's
6:33
Speaker 1: not a big deal. Everybody just calmed down, okay, right,
6:37
Speaker 1: just just just relax. Young children, by the way, amongst
6:43
Speaker 1: seven killed in a crowd stampede at the Kabul Airport,
6:47
Speaker 1: not a big deal. It's only seven. I'm sure it's
6:49
Speaker 1: what the White House will say. Seven people were actually
6:52
Speaker 1: crushed to death as massive crowds fell against the concrete
6:58
Speaker 1: barriers outside the Kabal Airport is they gathered to try
7:02
Speaker 1: to flee Afghanistan after the Taliban took control that According
7:06
Speaker 1: to the Britain's Ministry of Defense, panic crowds were pushing
7:11
Speaker 1: forward an attempt to board evacuation planes when the tragedy
7:14
Speaker 1: took place. Conditions on the ground remain extremely challenging, the
7:20
Speaker 1: UK said, but we're doing everything we can to manage
7:22
Speaker 1: the situation safely and securely as possible. It's what the
7:26
Speaker 1: UK Defense Ministry said in a statement this morning. Taliban
7:30
Speaker 1: fighters also spart panted by firing into the air to
7:33
Speaker 1: drive off more people who are attempting to get past
7:35
Speaker 1: guards and to the airport. Our sincere thoughts or were
7:40
Speaker 1: the families of the seven Afghan civilians who have sadly
7:43
Speaker 1: died in crowds in Kabbala, the mystery said in statement,
7:46
Speaker 1: Now we could stop all this in two seconds. Sky
7:49
Speaker 1: News Global correspondents who are Ramsey outside the international airport
7:54
Speaker 1: was where he reports seeing the frustrated, frustrating crowds trying
7:57
Speaker 1: to get inside before it descended into deadly k us.
8:01
Speaker 1: At the front of the queue, people were being crushed
8:03
Speaker 1: to death. He noting even as these soldiers fired into
8:07
Speaker 1: the air to disperse the crowd, people still pushed forward.
8:11
Speaker 1: One mother who lost her child in the deadly crush
8:13
Speaker 1: later detailed events that came is the crowd was reportedly
8:16
Speaker 1: sprayed with a hose to keep people cool. People were
8:20
Speaker 1: dying of heat stroke. Were now being told, my heart
8:23
Speaker 1: is bleeding. The mother, the girl's mother said, you won't
8:26
Speaker 1: know who she is. She's a former employee the US
8:29
Speaker 1: organization in Kabul, she said The New York Times. It
8:32
Speaker 1: was like drowning and trying to hold your baby above
8:34
Speaker 1: the water. The baby died. The baby died. Welcome to
8:43
Speaker 1: Biden's America. Even CNN now is fact checking Joe Biden's
8:49
Speaker 1: claims that al Qaida has gone from Afghanistan, then the
8:52
Speaker 1: Pentagon confirms he's still there. Even CNN can't hold this
8:56
Speaker 1: guy above water. Even CNN keep Biden's head above water
9:01
Speaker 1: with the criticism that he is receiving right now. In fact,
9:05
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was confronted about what Americans think about him
9:10
Speaker 1: and how bad things are actually going. He was asked
9:13
Speaker 1: this at the White House. Of course, he went to
9:16
Speaker 1: one of the easy reporters when they were asking this question,
9:19
Speaker 1: and he smiled and laughed when he was confronted with
9:23
Speaker 1: what Americans think of what is going on in his
9:25
Speaker 1: administration right now. Aday shows, but it disapproved of the way.
9:35
Speaker 1: You also found in based in part what you're inspired
9:39
Speaker 1: in the last meeting, the majority of Americans forgive me
9:43
Speaker 1: out this a messager no longer considering you to comment
9:47
Speaker 1: focus job. I haven't seen that pool, he laughs, I
9:57
Speaker 1: haven't seen that poll. When you're being told that the
10:02
Speaker 1: majority of Americans don't believe that you're competent, we're talking
10:05
Speaker 1: about commondency. Now, we're talking about what we all warned
10:08
Speaker 1: you about for a long time, that this Joe Biden
10:11
Speaker 1: clearly can't handle this job, that there is something wrong
10:14
Speaker 1: with him, right, that there's something wrong with him. Everybody
10:22
Speaker 1: is throwing Joe Biden under the bus because they don't
10:24
Speaker 1: believe he can do the job. That's the problem here.
10:28
Speaker 1: They don't believe that he can actually do what he's doing,
10:32
Speaker 1: which is exactly why even CNN is throwing him under
10:35
Speaker 1: the bus at this point. Now, he did this first,
10:38
Speaker 1: you know mea culpa interview right with George Sepanopolis, which
10:41
Speaker 1: was embarrassing, it was a joke, but even CNN ripped Biden.
10:48
Speaker 1: Listen to part of this question the ABC George Sepanopolis interview,
10:52
Speaker 1: and then listen to CNN describing the reality of what's happening.
10:56
Speaker 1: What's happened over the last week. Was it a failure
10:59
Speaker 1: of intelligence, planning, execution, or judgment. Look, I don't think
11:04
Speaker 1: it was a Look, it was a simple choice, George.
11:07
Speaker 1: There's hysteria. You have Taliban fighters with whips with guns,
11:11
Speaker 1: You have US and UK soldiers who are not allowing
11:14
Speaker 1: people in. You have mixed messaging coming through about what
11:18
Speaker 1: kind of paperwork you need and how you can get
11:20
Speaker 1: on a flight and where you can go. I mean,
11:22
Speaker 1: it is just an absolute mess. And we heard President
11:27
Speaker 1: Biden say yesterday in his comments to ABC News that
11:30
Speaker 1: this is not a failure. And I think a lot
11:32
Speaker 1: of people outside that airport, particularly those taking the kinds
11:36
Speaker 1: of extreme actions we're just talking about, would like to know,
11:39
Speaker 1: if this isn't failure, what does failure look like? Exactly
11:43
Speaker 1: that's CNN saying it. If this isn't failure, what does
11:50
Speaker 1: failure look like? Now? The State Department is still trying
11:55
Speaker 1: to downplay all of this right now, acting like none
11:58
Speaker 1: of this is happening. Anthony Blincoln, Secretary of State, was
12:02
Speaker 1: on Fox News Sunday and there was a fair question
12:06
Speaker 1: that was asked him, like does the president even know
12:09
Speaker 1: what's going on? He lied about Americans being beaten. He said,
12:14
Speaker 1: the Taliband's not in Afghanistan, they are, said, Okada is
12:18
Speaker 1: not in Afghanistan, they are. Does he even know what's
12:22
Speaker 1: going on? Here's another statement that the President made that
12:27
Speaker 1: was flat wrong. Take a look. I have seen no
12:31
Speaker 1: question of our credibility from our allies around the world.
12:34
Speaker 1: I've gotten the exact opposite things. We're acting with dispatch.
12:38
Speaker 1: We're acting committing to what we said we would do.
12:43
Speaker 1: But Armand Laschett, the likely successor to German Chancellor Merkel,
12:47
Speaker 1: said this is the biggest debacle that NATO has seen
12:51
Speaker 1: since its foundation. And here was the chairman of the
12:53
Speaker 1: British Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee to see that Commander in
12:58
Speaker 1: chief calling to question the courage of men I fought
13:02
Speaker 1: with to claim that they ran shameful. Those who have
13:11
Speaker 1: never fought for the colors they fly should be careful
13:14
Speaker 1: about christcizing those who have. That's a secretary. Does the
13:20
Speaker 1: President not know what's going on? This is an incredibly
13:25
Speaker 1: emotional time for many of us UH and including allies
13:30
Speaker 1: and partners who've been shouldered. I love this. It's incredibly
13:33
Speaker 1: incredibly emotional time. It doesn't seem to be from the
13:35
Speaker 1: White House. Doesn't seem to be from the White House
13:39
Speaker 1: at all? What is what is emotional from the White House?
13:42
Speaker 1: Serious question here right, Like, well, what is so emotional
13:47
Speaker 1: coming from the White House? I want to know because
13:53
Speaker 1: this guy acts like there's nothing going on, that there
13:56
Speaker 1: is nothing emotional, that nothing is happening. I really do
14:04
Speaker 1: I want to know. You know, oh, this is such
14:07
Speaker 1: an emotional time. Is it emotional because you know that
14:10
Speaker 1: eight month old American systems are being beaten? Is that
14:15
Speaker 1: what it is? Is that why this is emotional? I'm curious.
14:22
Speaker 1: Someone explain it to me. Okay, someone explain it to me.
14:26
Speaker 1: I am genuinely curious. What is it that it makes
14:31
Speaker 1: it so emotional? Is it emotional to know that you're
14:34
Speaker 1: leaving Americans behind? Is it emotional to know that you
14:39
Speaker 1: put Americans in this situation in this scenario? Is that
14:43
Speaker 1: what is making it so quote emotional? If someone can
14:50
Speaker 1: explain it to me, I would love to hear from
14:56
Speaker 1: the White House because when you come out on TV
14:59
Speaker 1: and you act like somehow you're the victim. I mean,
15:03
Speaker 1: we had an eight hour period over the weekend we
15:06
Speaker 1: didn't see a single US plane evacuate people from Kabble.
15:11
Speaker 1: Not a single plane took off. Was that emotional for
15:16
Speaker 1: the White House? Or were you guys taking naptime. I'm
15:20
Speaker 1: a little confused over how you guys are emotional, Joe Biden. No, no,
15:26
Speaker 1: the allies are upset with me. NATO's saying this is
15:29
Speaker 1: the biggest failure since its inception, saying, this is the
15:32
Speaker 1: worst we've ever seen. Afghan and san Evak is drawing
15:36
Speaker 1: international kind of nation from our allies. That's how bad
15:40
Speaker 1: it is. Hadn't heard that. Joe Biden says, everybody loves me,
15:44
Speaker 1: everybody likes me. Everything's fine, there's nothing to see here.
15:49
Speaker 1: I love it when I actually get to quote CNN
15:52
Speaker 1: because it's hilarious that even CNN is telling Joe Biden,
15:55
Speaker 1: you're insane. By the way, CNN, you guys did this.
15:58
Speaker 1: You're the ones that pushed the Russian hoax. You're the
16:01
Speaker 1: guys that went upset, went psycho trying to get Donald
16:04
Speaker 1: Trump and peached at all costs. You're the guys that
16:07
Speaker 1: push insurrection, and this is what a real insurrection looks like,
16:10
Speaker 1: not what happened January the six. You're the ones that
16:12
Speaker 1: put up the faces of Americans in around the capital
16:15
Speaker 1: in January six is get him arrested. You're the ones
16:18
Speaker 1: that put out basically an enemy's list. Trust me, I know,
16:22
Speaker 1: I had to work there for seven years. It was awful.
16:25
Speaker 1: But it's hilarious when even CNN can't hold his head
16:28
Speaker 1: above water, and they're the ones that actually came out
16:30
Speaker 1: reported like eight hours. What the hell's going on? For
16:33
Speaker 1: eight hours, not a single plane evacuated people from Cobble
16:38
Speaker 1: and then the White House is It's a very emotional time,
16:41
Speaker 1: Frances I've ever had, because the desperation with ninety eight
16:46
Speaker 1: opened just a tiny just a jar, and there's just
16:49
Speaker 1: as rushed people pushing, pushing, and we're desperately trying to
16:53
Speaker 1: stand up and holding hands with my colleague, with some
16:58
Speaker 1: of our local staff who were trying to get out
17:00
Speaker 1: out and everybody's screaming and children are screaming and on
17:04
Speaker 1: the other side of the boards creaming to get back.
17:08
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just unconscionable that there are with it.
17:13
Speaker 1: It's there are carrying net born baby, and I just
17:19
Speaker 1: you know, I hear it. At a certain point, I'm
17:21
Speaker 1: not a lot to words, honestly, by the way, those
17:24
Speaker 1: are gunshots. You're hearing the background. Everything's fine, though not
17:27
Speaker 1: a problem. Everything's good. No one's mad at me. I'm
17:29
Speaker 1: doing everything. This was inevitable, This is inevitable, is going
17:32
Speaker 1: to happen? Well, I was actually gonna say, I mean,
17:35
Speaker 1: this is a situation that it's it's it's unsustainable, is
17:38
Speaker 1: what you're describing. And as everyone knows who's who, who
17:42
Speaker 1: follows you're reporting and have for years. You have covered
17:45
Speaker 1: a lot of Warren conflict. You have seen some of
17:48
Speaker 1: the best and worst of humanity, the best and worst
17:52
Speaker 1: of humanity. This was all avoidable. This was flat out avoidable.
17:59
Speaker 1: She said, I've been sitting here for twelve hours the airport,
18:01
Speaker 1: eight hours on the airfield, and I haven't seen a
18:03
Speaker 1: single US plane take off. How on earth are you're
18:05
Speaker 1: going to evacuate fifty thousand people in the next two weeks.
18:07
Speaker 1: It just can't happen. And this is the president. It's
18:10
Speaker 1: still taking naps. I got to go back to Joe
18:15
Speaker 1: Biden for just a moment. Biden is saying, well, there
18:21
Speaker 1: could be some other bad things that happen. You think so,
18:27
Speaker 1: he said Sunday afternoon, this to the Taliban. Taliman has
18:33
Speaker 1: to make a fundamental decision. Is it Taliman going to
18:38
Speaker 1: attempt to be able to unite and provide for the
18:44
Speaker 1: well being of the people of Afghanistan, which no one
18:47
Speaker 1: group has ever done since before dealing for hundreds of years.
18:53
Speaker 1: And if it does, it's going to need everything from
18:55
Speaker 1: additional help in terms of economic assistance, trade and the
19:00
Speaker 1: whole regions things. That's what he has to say about
19:04
Speaker 1: the Taliban. The Taliban, it's beating eighteen month old children.
19:09
Speaker 1: The Taliban is shooting at people so that they'll crush
19:12
Speaker 1: each other and die at the airport, including children that
19:14
Speaker 1: were suffocated death against the barriers at the airport, and
19:17
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, And Joe Biden said today, well,
19:19
Speaker 1: I mean, look, hey, a lot could still go wrong
19:21
Speaker 1: with Afghanistan evacuations. Thanks Captain Obvious for clearing that up.
19:27
Speaker 1: One trapped American mother said that she is now considering
19:31
Speaker 1: suicide as it would spare her from whatever the Taliban
19:35
Speaker 1: would attempt to do to her. There's a little doubt
19:38
Speaker 1: that the fall of Afghanistan's government to the Taliban was
19:40
Speaker 1: going to end an immense and troubling bloodshed, but it's
19:43
Speaker 1: doubtful that too many Americans were prepared for this. President
19:48
Speaker 1: Biden's decisions to withdraw the US troops from the nation
19:51
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule has led to utter chaos as everyone
19:54
Speaker 1: knows and cobbling around Afghanistan as a terror group, the
19:59
Speaker 1: Taliban continue to reach havoc on the population. Biden the
20:03
Speaker 1: White House that suggest that Americans should quote unquote be
20:06
Speaker 1: able to find safe passage out of the nation. Taliban
20:08
Speaker 1: too able to let that happen. Everything's fine, the reality no.
20:15
Speaker 1: An American mother on the ground has been describing the
20:17
Speaker 1: horror that has fallen on her and those around her.
20:21
Speaker 1: She's worried quote she'll never see her kids again and
20:24
Speaker 1: is in hiding with family members and African allies, unable
20:27
Speaker 1: to reach Kabel Airport for a chance at an evak.
20:31
Speaker 1: I really have given up hope, given up on the
20:34
Speaker 1: hope of going to the airport, the woman said. It's
20:39
Speaker 1: just not possible to make it through all those people.
20:42
Speaker 1: She said there are as many as twenty Taliban checkpoints
20:45
Speaker 1: between her and the airport, and she's one of an
20:49
Speaker 1: uncertain number of americansistants trapped behind enemy lines. And then
20:55
Speaker 1: she was whipped by Taliban fighters on one attempt to
20:58
Speaker 1: get through, she said, and this was early on. A
21:01
Speaker 1: man standing near her was shot in the head on
21:04
Speaker 1: another try, leaving his wife and baby in tears. Since then,
21:10
Speaker 1: she said her only option is hiding. Quote. We are devastated,
21:14
Speaker 1: she said to Fox News. We're scared for our lives.
21:17
Speaker 1: Every moment that a car passes by, I feel like
21:20
Speaker 1: they're going to pull in and execute us. I don't
21:23
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to see my children again. The
21:26
Speaker 1: American mother said it she would rather take her own
21:29
Speaker 1: life than be subjected to whatever ill will the Taliban
21:32
Speaker 1: has in store for her should she be captured attempting
21:35
Speaker 1: to flee that she says. The reality of the situation
21:43
Speaker 1: in Kabul twenty checkpoints between her and the airport. Other
21:48
Speaker 1: Americans say that they are terrified of what the Taliban
21:51
Speaker 1: is going to do to them. The president was asked
21:54
Speaker 1: a question earlier, a simple question, why is it that
21:58
Speaker 1: you keep trusting the Taliban and when this is what
22:00
Speaker 1: the Taliban is doing, mister president, So that's what's happened,
22:05
Speaker 1: Thank you very very much. Why do you continue to
22:19
Speaker 1: trust the Taliban? Mister president? What did Joe Biden do?
22:21
Speaker 1: He walked away, He walked away. He walked away. Taliban
22:33
Speaker 1: now parading with US weaponry. Not only parading with US weaponry,
22:37
Speaker 1: but they're dressing up like Americans and redoing the flag
22:41
Speaker 1: planet that is so famous. Yeah, no, they're just they're
22:46
Speaker 1: just now mocking us. Taliban sympathizers are reportedly circulating images
22:51
Speaker 1: on social media of jihad is parading through the streets
22:53
Speaker 1: of one of the regional capitals, proudly just playing American weapons.
22:59
Speaker 1: The Tali Alaban is showcasing its Special Force troops dressed
23:03
Speaker 1: in white and waiving the official flag of the Gihattis organization.
23:06
Speaker 1: The video shows the terrorists wearing face coverings, apparently bulletproof vests,
23:09
Speaker 1: and large firearms that are all American origin. The event
23:13
Speaker 1: reportedly occurred on Thursday, Afghanistan's Independence Day, as they called it.
23:18
Speaker 1: Other images circulating on social media allegedly organized originating excuse
23:23
Speaker 1: me on Taliban social media networks, showed the scale of
23:26
Speaker 1: the parade, featuring at least a dozen of the men
23:28
Speaker 1: wearing Special Forces outfits, but hundreds of others in attendance.
23:35
Speaker 1: They're on top of American Hunby hunves. Taliban fighters are
23:38
Speaker 1: actually standing guard at the Kabbol Airport using our armored
23:43
Speaker 1: hunvs and r machine guns pointed at the American soldiers.
23:52
Speaker 1: I cannot explain to you how big of a victory
23:55
Speaker 1: this is. Tony Blair came out and said this, and
23:59
Speaker 1: he said it, said, every terrorist on the planet is
24:02
Speaker 1: laughing in America thanks to Joe Biden. How sad that
24:08
Speaker 1: it took a former British prime ministers say that and
24:12
Speaker 1: not the establishment media in America. He said, every gehowdest
24:17
Speaker 1: group in the world is cheering right now. Tony Blair
24:23
Speaker 1: attacked the Biden administration's Afghan policy is a little more
24:26
Speaker 1: than sacrificing Afghan allies for the sake of political posturing
24:30
Speaker 1: at home. Same thing. I told you. It's all for
24:33
Speaker 1: the cameras, right. I'm the guy that got you out
24:34
Speaker 1: Afghanistan on September eleven, twenty years after we got in there.
24:38
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Pat me on the back. That's my legacy.
24:40
Speaker 1: I'm Joe Biden. Quote. The abandonment of afghan It's people
24:44
Speaker 1: is tragic, Tony Blair said, dangerous, unnecessary, not in their
24:48
Speaker 1: interests and not in ours, adding that the manner of
24:54
Speaker 1: America's flight under President Joe Biden appeared designed to parade
24:58
Speaker 1: our humiliation. Blair said Biden's decision to run from Afghanistan
25:06
Speaker 1: in this way was driven not by grand strategy but
25:09
Speaker 1: solely by politics. We didn't need to do it, we
25:13
Speaker 1: chose to do it. We did it in obedience to
25:16
Speaker 1: an embletic political slogan about ending before ever wars. Yeah
25:23
Speaker 1: where urged those around Joe Biden to please think about
25:27
Speaker 1: changing course before more people die. Kevin McCarthy, GOP leader
25:32
Speaker 1: in the House, tweeted this out Biden's claim, we know
25:36
Speaker 1: of no circumstances where American citizens carrying an American passport
25:39
Speaker 1: are trying to get through the airport. Fact, the Islamic
25:42
Speaker 1: state issue to tear throat against Americans trying to go
25:44
Speaker 1: to the Kabbel airport. He was lying, or he's incompetent,
25:47
Speaker 1: or both, And he's absolutely right in the tweet in
25:53
Speaker 1: his anger. But hey, you know what's not a lot
25:58
Speaker 1: of Americans being physically harassed and beaten and harmed by
26:01
Speaker 1: the Taliban. Yes, the Pentagon confirms they've been harassed and beaten,
26:05
Speaker 1: but it's not that many, right, It's really not a
26:08
Speaker 1: big deal. Not a big deal. Look, if you're being
26:13
Speaker 1: harassed or beaten by the Taliban behind enemy lines and
26:16
Speaker 1: Kabble Afghanistan. The Pentagon said, we don't believe it is
26:19
Speaker 1: in a large number, so at least there's that. In
26:24
Speaker 1: the same press conference, the Pentagon spokesman Kirby indicated most Americans,
26:29
Speaker 1: he claimed, are having no problem reaching the extradition the
26:32
Speaker 1: extraction point at the airport. That is a lie quote
26:39
Speaker 1: the best of our knowledge, Taliban checkpoints they are letting
26:41
Speaker 1: through people showing American passports. No they're not. They're beating
26:44
Speaker 1: them and taking their passports. Biden said this in contradiction
26:50
Speaker 1: to his own Defense secretary, who initially stated that Americans
26:54
Speaker 1: have been abused and beaten on the ground. The our
26:58
Speaker 1: own embassy in Keble on Saturday put out a warning
27:01
Speaker 1: to American citizens to avoid the airport because of security
27:05
Speaker 1: threats outside of the gate, saying don't come and if
27:10
Speaker 1: you think getting people outs going, well, it's a total
27:13
Speaker 1: blank show. Nearly empty US flights are leaving Kabole as
27:17
Speaker 1: Biden abandons Americans in Afghanistan. Many planes this is as
27:21
Speaker 1: of right now are reportedly leaving Afghanistan nearly empty, while
27:25
Speaker 1: private organizations are begging the US government to no avail
27:28
Speaker 1: to let them charter private flights to airlift more American
27:32
Speaker 1: citizens and Afghans who assisted the US mission. Major General
27:38
Speaker 1: Hank Taylor, the deputy director of the Joint Tiefs to Staff,
27:41
Speaker 1: said on Thursday that while the military had the capacity
27:43
Speaker 1: to move between three to five thousand or maybe five
27:46
Speaker 1: to nine thousand people per day, only about two thousand
27:48
Speaker 1: have been moved in the last twenty four hour period.
27:51
Speaker 1: Why because they don't know what the hell they're doing. See,
27:58
Speaker 1: seventeen planes cable of comfortably fitting three hundred people took
28:01
Speaker 1: only around one hundred and ten people each on eighteen
28:04
Speaker 1: flights that evacuated two thousand from the country. That doesn't
28:08
Speaker 1: mean just because you have five thousand seats that you
28:10
Speaker 1: can automatically fill five thousand seats every day, pending on
28:12
Speaker 1: Press Secretary John Kirby said during the press conference. Right,
28:16
Speaker 1: so everybody calmed down, and then there was an eight
28:21
Speaker 1: hour period where no flights left Cobble, No American flights anyway,
28:26
Speaker 1: no American flights. Another journalist posted a picture of the
28:32
Speaker 1: flight he was on, saying I'm on my way home,
28:35
Speaker 1: but this aircraft is empty. Scandalous as thousands wait outside
28:39
Speaker 1: the airport being crushed as they cannot get in. Sadly,
28:42
Speaker 1: people will be left behind when this mission is over
28:45
Speaker 1: and we cannot get it right. He literally put up
28:49
Speaker 1: a picture of an empty airplane that he was in leaving.
28:54
Speaker 1: Let me also remind you that Joe Biden actually said
28:59
Speaker 1: at one point, in not a joke, that there's nothing
29:03
Speaker 1: special about being an American. Did you hear me? Joe
29:09
Speaker 1: Biden actually said at one point that there is quote
29:13
Speaker 1: nothing special about being an American. And maybe that explains
29:17
Speaker 1: why all of this is happening. Maybe this explains exactly
29:21
Speaker 1: why Joe Biden can literally look the other way, go
29:23
Speaker 1: on vacation, look the other way, and go on vacation
29:28
Speaker 1: while all of this is happening. Kamala Harris was just
29:34
Speaker 1: asked a moment ago about the Americans trapped in Afghanistan.
29:42
Speaker 1: She just laughed at you out everybody. I want to
29:51
Speaker 1: talk about two things. First, Afghanistan, we couldn't have a
29:57
Speaker 1: higher priority right now, and in particular if it's making
30:01
Speaker 1: sure that we safely evasculated American citizens, Afghans who work
30:07
Speaker 1: with US, Afghans at risk, including women and children, and
30:12
Speaker 1: that is one of our highest if not the highest priority.
30:15
Speaker 1: Right now, she laughs as she walks up there. Calm down, everybody,
30:21
Speaker 1: ha ha ha. Okay, now let me tell you the
30:23
Speaker 1: Let me tell you the line I'm gonna give you. Really,
30:26
Speaker 1: there's no there's no higher priority, no higher priority. You
30:30
Speaker 1: guys won't even go out and get people. If it
30:32
Speaker 1: was a high priority, you go out and get people,
30:35
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have trapped American mothers kind and putting suicide
30:39
Speaker 1: because there's nine, ten, eleven, twelve Taliban checkpoints between her
30:44
Speaker 1: and the airport in Kabbal Let me say that again.
30:49
Speaker 1: You have a mother who said there are as many
30:52
Speaker 1: as excuse me, I got the number wrong, twenty taliban
30:56
Speaker 1: checkpoints between her and the airport, and she's one of
31:00
Speaker 1: an uncertain number of American citizens trapped behind enemy lines
31:03
Speaker 1: who says, I am not going to fall into the
31:06
Speaker 1: hands of the Taliban, not gonna let them behead me.
31:14
Speaker 1: But hey, if you're Kamala Harris, let's laugh about it. Right,
31:17
Speaker 1: If you're Joe Biden saying, hey, Americans feel like you're incompetent,
31:21
Speaker 1: that you're not going to do enough. You're not helping them, right,
31:25
Speaker 1: You're not You're not doing enough to help people. Joe Biden,
31:30
Speaker 1: what does he say about that? He laughs, I haven't
31:32
Speaker 1: seen that poll. I go back to two thousand. In
31:38
Speaker 1: fourteen October the second twenty fourteen, Joe Biden was speaking
31:47
Speaker 1: at Harvard and Joe Biden said this about American citizens
31:52
Speaker 1: in fourteen, American strength ultimately lies it is people. Nothing
32:00
Speaker 1: special about being American. None of you can define for
32:03
Speaker 1: me what an American is. Nothing special about being an American.
32:08
Speaker 1: That was at the John F. Kennedy's School of Government
32:12
Speaker 1: at Harvard. There's nothing special about being American. None of
32:16
Speaker 1: you can define for me what an American is. Well,
32:19
Speaker 1: maybe that explains why I didn't give a crap about
32:20
Speaker 1: Americans dying in Afghanistan. Maybe that's it. Maybe that explains
32:27
Speaker 1: it all. You have gunfire ringing out the airport. You
32:35
Speaker 1: have babies now being crushed suffocated to death because the
32:42
Speaker 1: Taliban knows that with that many people, they're gonna rush
32:44
Speaker 1: towards the fences, the gates, and the people will die.
32:48
Speaker 1: They're using our humbes to mock us, pointing our weapons
32:51
Speaker 1: at our soldiers at the fences. And we have a
32:55
Speaker 1: president of the United SI it's America who is refusing
32:57
Speaker 1: to go out and get people, refusing to go out
33:03
Speaker 1: and get people because this is our top priority. Except
33:12
Speaker 1: it's not our top priority. No, no, no no, this is
33:15
Speaker 1: our top priority. But we're on vacation. This is our
33:20
Speaker 1: top priority. But we're not going to go out the
33:21
Speaker 1: gates to try to pick up anybody, help anybody, find anybody.
33:28
Speaker 1: Let's deal with the reality. The reality is the Taliban
33:34
Speaker 1: is separate from al Qaida. Okay, we know that, right.
33:38
Speaker 1: We know that al Qaida or Isis is different. We
33:42
Speaker 1: know that they play by a different set of rules.
33:45
Speaker 1: We know that the Taliban wants to keep things a
33:48
Speaker 1: little bit different. The Mujihadeen, by the way, the Afghan
33:52
Speaker 1: Mujihadeen and local militias say they're very concerned now about
33:56
Speaker 1: Americans being taken and beheaded at the hands of our
34:00
Speaker 1: Kaida or Isis. So what happens if that happens. Forget
34:06
Speaker 1: the Taliban's let's talk about al Qaida. We know that
34:10
Speaker 1: al Qaida is in Afghanistan, and we know that the
34:13
Speaker 1: President knights Its America lied about that this week as well,
34:16
Speaker 1: saying they're not there. We know they're there. The Pentagon
34:18
Speaker 1: has said it. The State Department said it, even that
34:21
Speaker 1: the Taliban has said it. So what happens then? What
34:27
Speaker 1: happens then? Do we just let them behead Americans? Think
34:33
Speaker 1: about that because this president's not even going outside the
34:36
Speaker 1: gates to get people you don't think ISIS and Alkaida
34:40
Speaker 1: is going to figure that out pretty soon. That it's
34:41
Speaker 1: open season on Americans. You can do what you want
34:44
Speaker 1: because this president is not going to stop it. Make
34:48
