1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: It is a weird world that we live in now, 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: where the man who killed Osama Bin Laden has been 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: put on a no fly list at least from Delta Airlines, 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: and the Taliban is now in control of the lives 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: of Americans left behind in Afghanistan by our government that 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: we are now apparently negotiating with, begging to let Americans 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: off the ground and apparently giving them things in return 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: every time they release one of these hostages, which, of 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: course the White House and Anthony B. Lincoln said is 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: not accurate. They're not hostages. Well, if you can't leave 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: the country and you can't get on a plane, or 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: you a hostage if you're being held in a country 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: against your will, are you a hostage? Yes? Let me 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: tell you though about Delta Airlines real quick, and how 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: messed up the world is that we live in right now? 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: Up is down and down is up. Left is right 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: right left right? All right? So Delta has banned the 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: man who actually killed Osama Bin Laden, that X Navy 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: c after he sent out an anti mask tweet, the 20 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: X Navy seal who killed OSM. Bin Ladden, and everybody knows, 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: including Delta air Lines, that he's the guy they killed 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: Usan Bin Ladden. They know it because the reason why 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: they banned him is because of the picture that was 24 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: with his tweet online. So they can't say, oh it 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: is you know, like, hey, we didn't know it was 26 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: the guy that killed Usam bin Ladden, right. No, they 27 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: did this on purpose. They knew exactly who they were 28 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: banning from flying on Delta airlines. Moving forward, the x 29 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: Navy seal who killed us Sam bin Laden and bragged 30 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter about not wearing a quote dumb Adols mask 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: on a Delta flight has been banned from the airline. 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: I just got banned from Delta for posting a picture. Wow, 33 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: Robert O'Neil, forty four, tweeted out. The move comes a 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: day after he tweeted a smiling, maskless selfie from his 35 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: seat with a caption, I'm not a blank. Many of 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: O'Neill's Twitter followers took the post as a direct dig 37 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: at the only other person the photo, an older man 38 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: wearing a US Marine Corps hat and ask sitting across 39 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: from him with his mask on. A former Navy Sealed 40 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: Team six member later took the photo down at the 41 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: urging of his wife, he claimed, and also insisted he 42 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: always wears a mask and that the tweet was a joke. Now, 43 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: you and I both know that when they walked by, 44 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: even if you have your mask downblow your nose, they 45 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: freak out and yell at you. Right, I've dealt with that. Right, 46 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: they'll yell at two year olds and kicked them off 47 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: the plane. I think everybody knows that this X Navy 48 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: seal was not flying without a mask the entire time. 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: He took a picture. And he took the picture and 50 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: you can actually see the five tenants standing directly behind him. 51 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: It's like she went past. He took the picture, and 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure he put his mask back on. There's no 53 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: reports he didn't have his mask on during the entire flight. 54 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: You get my point. He was sending out a tweet. 55 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: Many of his Twitter followers also attacked him right saying, 56 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: how dare you do this? You're putting his lives at risk. 57 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: He actually put out a statement saying the former Navy 58 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: Sealed Team six member later took the photo down at 59 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: the urging of his wife and claimed also and insisted 60 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: he always wears a mask and the tweet tweet was 61 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: a joke. Quote. This was not a dig at the 62 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: marine behind me. I love marines, he wrote in another tweet, 63 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: linking to an article in The Post. Delta confirmed when 64 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: they were reached for comment that the man who killed 65 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: her some in line is no longer welcome aboard. Part 66 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: of every customer's commitment prior to traveling on Delta is 67 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: the requirement to acknowledge our updated travel policies, which include 68 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: wearing a mask. The airline said in a statement. Failure 69 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: to comply with their mask wearing mandate ken result in 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: losing the ability to fly Delta in future flights. Now 71 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: there's no indication, there's nothing that Delta said that he 72 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: took his mask off during the flight, didn't wear it, 73 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: That didn't happen. He took a damn picture. The Montana 74 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: native fired three shots into the Alcada leader's head during 75 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: the May eleventh Rade on his Pakistan hideout. Now, once 76 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: you think about Delta Airlines, Delta air Lines is an 77 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: airline that was affected by the nine to eleven attacks. 78 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: They use airplanes, right. This is the dude that killed 79 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: old Demand, that did the attack. This is the man 80 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: who risks his life to make air travel literally safer 81 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: and Delta Airline because of a picture, because of a 82 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: joke with no reports or accusation that he didn't wear 83 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: his mask on the flight, because the appearance that he 84 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: didn't wear a mask on the flight, has now been 85 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: banned from flying on Delta Airlines. So next time you 86 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: book your flight, you might want to think twice about 87 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: booking on Delta, right, you might want to push back 88 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: on that. Just think about a company that is willing 89 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: to treat the man who kills o sanbin one this 90 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: way when clearly he made a mistake, took it down 91 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: and it was a joke. No, no, no, you don't 92 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: joke about mask. We'll ban you from flying on Delta Airlines. 93 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: Even the guy that killed Osan Bin Laden, he fought 94 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: back at Delta Airlines saying, man, glad we weren't on 95 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: a Delta flight and we went to go kill Osam 96 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: Bin Laden. It's a pretty good point if you asked me, 97 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: which brings me to another point. Trapped in Afghanistan, those 98 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: left behind are grappling with the unresponsive US government and 99 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: dimming hope of escape. An Afghan interpreter who worked alongside 100 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: the US during the war said he made three trips 101 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: to the airport in Kabula during the Kadok withdrawal last month, 102 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: and failed attempts to escape the country with his wife 103 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: and not one, not two, but three different children. The 104 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: last time was when a suicide bomb attack killed more 105 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: than one hundred and seventy Afghan in thirteen US troops 106 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: at the airport gate. His family was unharmed, but they 107 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: remained trapped and fearing for their lives in the Taliban 108 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: controlled country. That is painful for me that I have 109 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: worked for four years, not one, not two. I worked 110 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: for four years. They evacuated smugglers, they evacuated terrorists, they 111 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: evacuated beggars, they evacuated street boys. But we are the 112 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: ones who should be eligible, said the interpreter, whose name 113 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: The Washington Times has agreed to conceal to protect him 114 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: from Taliban retaliation. We are the ones left behind. This 115 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: is very painful for us. By the way, you knows 116 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: who used the word they got out evacuated terrorists. More 117 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: and more people left in the ground are saying that's true. 118 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: The terrorists were able to get on the airfields early 119 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: on because the Taliban maybe let them go through the 120 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: gates on purpose, and we evacuate them the rest of 121 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: the world so they can then be terrorists. The interpreter, 122 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: by the way, was among tens of thousands of Afghan 123 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: allies and more than a hundred Americans. Now we're saying 124 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: that numbers probably closer to two hundred Americans left in 125 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: Afghanistan when the final US troops departed the war torn 126 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: country just before midnight on August thirtieth. Their day to 127 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: day existence is uncertain as President Biden in the State 128 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: Department grapple with their next move they're grappling with their 129 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: next movements. Have actually acting to get these people out? 130 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,239 Speaker 1: Think about that as well, and one of the largest 131 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: evacuations in history. That's how they want you to believe 132 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: things went down. The US says, well, we got a 133 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: bunch of people out, so it should be good enough. 134 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: And hey, you know what, we had this deadline of 135 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: August thirty first, and you know, we're only America. It's 136 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: not like we could move the deadline, change the deadline, 137 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: or start blowing up Taliban people or are Al Qaeda 138 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: people right in the country to prove to them that hey, 139 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: we're still in charge and back off. We're gonna get 140 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: all our damn people out of you're probably gonna die. 141 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: The Pentagon. By the way, estimates only seven thousand of 142 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: the six thousand Afghans evacuate evacuated had actually applied under 143 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: the State Department Special Immigrant Visa program designed for interpreters 144 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: and others who helped the US or effort escape retribution 145 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: for the Taliban. So we were evacuating the wrong people. 146 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: No big deal, right, just evacuating the wrong people. The 147 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: interpreter who spoke with the Time said he complied and 148 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: compiled the required paperwork for his SIV application just months 149 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: before the withdrawal. His application was in the beginning stages 150 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: of processing at the US as a US announced Operation 151 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: Allies Refuge. His paywork remained, of course, stuck in the 152 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: bureaucracy and the State Department backlog. When the Taliban sees 153 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: control weeks before the US withdrew it classed between Afghan 154 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: security forces and the Taliban, fighters destroyed the interprets home 155 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: in a rural province. The interprot fletic Bull with his 156 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,559 Speaker 1: family and took refuge to the shelter for internally displaced people. 157 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: They fled the shelter after it became too dangerous to stay. 158 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: Staffs of the Taliban were overrunning the city. With a 159 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: few options, the interpreter decided to brave the Taliban checkpoints 160 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: and reached the airport. Thousands of desperate Afghans inundated the 161 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: streets outside the gate, he said, and US troops were 162 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: unable to parse the crowd for those eligible to resettle 163 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: in the US under the SIV program. But we were 164 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: getting terrorists out despite the risk he had take him 165 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: by working alongside the US. He was just another face 166 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: of the crowd and chaos at the airport. It was 167 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: an emergency situation. They couldn't compare which one is eligible 168 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: with which one is naughty, said, so we just decided 169 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: if you got through the gates, and maybe al Qaide 170 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: and the Taliban were letting certain terrorists to the gates 171 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: on purpose, which is what he's claiming now. We just 172 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: got him out of the country because it was an 173 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: emergency situation, which brings us to another point. Lieutenant Colonel 174 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: Oliver North is now demanding answers, and why don't we 175 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: give away the Bogram air base. This wasn't the Trump 176 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,239 Speaker 1: administration that came with this idea. This was the Biden administration. 177 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: Colonel North is a guy that understands military operations. Look 178 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: at his history. He's a guy that understands covert operations. 179 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: He's a retired US Marine colonel. And he is now 180 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: pressing the Biden administration for accountability for all of the 181 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: gold Star families that he's talked to have lost their 182 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: thirteen service members during the US withdrawal in Afghanistan, and 183 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: also all the Americans left behind. Now he's looking at 184 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: this from a clearly military standpoint. Why would you give 185 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: up Bogram air Base ever? For that matter, why would 186 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: you give up that base before you had every American out? 187 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: In fact, he's arguing forget the Kabul airport, right, which 188 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: was not an airport that was really secure. I think 189 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: we've clearly seen that the Bogram Airbase should have never 190 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: been given up until you had every American out, And 191 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: we should have had military personnel there, including airplanes, right, bombers, 192 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: fighter jets, helicopters, the whole thing that if the Taliban 193 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: did do something stupid, we could blow the hell out 194 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: of them immediately from Bagram air Base. It was a 195 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: it was basically a safety precaution. We should have controlled 196 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: it till the very end. Now you're gonna hear Anthony Blincoln. 197 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let that play because I think it's important 198 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: for you to hear what Anthony Blincoln has state Secretary 199 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: of State. And then you're gonna hear Oliver North having 200 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: a conversation with Maria Bartoma overt Fox Business, and I 201 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: want you to hear what he had to say about 202 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: the idea that we actually purposely gave away Bagram Air 203 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: Base when we desperately needed Bogram Air Base for overwatch 204 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: for air superiority for security for Americans. With regard to 205 00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: the composition of this government or orange from government, I 206 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: noted the fact that it certainly does not meet the 207 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: test of inclusivity, and it includes people who have very 208 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: challenging track records. Now, I love how he says that. 209 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: Right Lincoln, They're saying, wow, okay, we don't approve of 210 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: the new Taliban government, and we you know, they have 211 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: a track record of killing a bunch of people and 212 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: be heading people and pulling out fingernails and hanging them 213 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: from trees and from cranes and all of these types 214 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: of things. And we know they kill innocent women, and 215 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: they beat women, and they kill babies, and they force 216 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: people into sex slavery and tie people up, and you know, 217 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: the list goes on on. So we're not surprised that 218 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: they're not having women in their government, you know, and 219 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: they have a shady record. Well, if you knew all this, 220 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: why the hell did you give up Bagram air Base? 221 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: If you knew the Taliban was like this, which is 222 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: what you just admitted, why did you trust them to 223 00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: protect Americans and security the airport? Because the Biden administration, 224 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: and this is not up for debate, is a fact, 225 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: they had the opportunity to keep all of Kabol and 226 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: we said, or excuse me, the Biden administration said, State 227 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: Department said, Anthony Blinken said, no, no, we don't. We 228 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: don't want to be in charge of Kabul. And at 229 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: the end, no, you guys, the Taliban can be in charge. 230 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: We just want to control the airport. That's it. Did 231 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: not a single damn person think We'll hold on a second. 232 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: What if the Taliban like puts up checkpoints like they've 233 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: had a history of doing throughout I mean, anyone knows 234 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: the Taliban knows how to shut down roadways and access 235 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: ways like that's one of their things they do, right 236 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: when they shut off supplies to cities when they want 237 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: to shut down a city, that's the first thing they do. 238 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: Did not a single person go hold on a second, guys, 239 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: do you really want to trust the Taliban and terrorist 240 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: organizations has been killing Americans for the last twenty years 241 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: to protect Americans in a quick flip reversal of roles 242 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: and allow Americans just freely walk down the street to 243 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: the airport and Afghans that helped us walk down the road, 244 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: and they're not going to mess with him. They're going 245 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: to screw with them, not going to kill them, They're 246 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: not going to torture them, they're not going to try 247 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: to grab them. Well, of course people said this doesn't matter, right, No, 248 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. But we know, and we have now 249 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: Blincoln on records saying we knew these are bad guys, 250 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: and we did it anyway. We gave up Bogram Airbase anyway, 251 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: challenging track records inclusivity. That was US Secretary of State 252 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: Anthony Blinken admitting that the new Taliman government, which the 253 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: Biden administration relied on to evacuate Americans from Afghanistan after 254 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: Cobble's fall, may not be trustworthy after all. My next 255 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: guest as the White House knew this all along and 256 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: has been lying to the American people. Joining me right 257 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: now is Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North. He is a decorated 258 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: military veteran who was embedded with sixty six different units 259 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: over seventeen years. It is an honor to have you 260 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: here this morning, sir, Thanks very much shripping here, Colonel North, Maria, 261 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: good to be with you. Wonderful interviews you suggested with 262 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: two very important people. Thank you, sir, Thank you so much. 263 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: You are in touch with the national resistance fronts in Afghanistan. 264 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: I want to ask you your thoughts on what's going 265 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: on now. What can you tell us in terms of 266 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: new information US citizens allies are they being held hostage? 267 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Because I know, sir, we didn't just leave Americans on 268 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,479 Speaker 1: the ground in Afghanistan. We left Brits, Canadians, Ukrainians, Europeans 269 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: and other allies that have helped us along the way 270 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: for twenty years. I spent yesterday, marias we you and 271 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: I talked with the veterans of this war, gold star families, 272 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: those who had been there when this whole incredibly aborted 273 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: operation took place. And everybody wants one thing, and that's accountability. 274 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: Hopefully there's going to be accountability as to why they 275 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: gave away bag one of the best military bases in world. 276 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: In fact, I know the engineer who built it. The 277 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: Russians started it, we finished it. It was one of 278 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: the finest military operations installations in the world. There was 279 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: intelligence collection, there was a main base, easily defended, all 280 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: the kinds of surveillance you would need to protect it 281 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: with a relatively modest number of troops. Why did they 282 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: give it away? It wasn't taken by the Taliban. It 283 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: was given to the Taliban. And you showed some of 284 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: the footage of the cash that was left there, the 285 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: eighty four billion dollars worth of weapons, most of which 286 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: were stored at Bagum, all of that left behind, none 287 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: of it destroyed. When you look at that cache that 288 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: we gave to the Taliban, and it's not just the Taliban, 289 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: it's Isis, it's al Qaeda, it's the Hakani organization. They 290 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: are all one and right at this very minute, Maria, 291 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: they are sitting in the Presidential Palace in downtown Cobble 292 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: going through information that the gru from Russia and the 293 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: Communist Chinese Intelligence Service is helping to collect on targeting 294 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: those who are our allies. And as you pointed out, 295 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: we still have NATO allies with people left behind. The 296 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: promise was at the very beginning of this no Americans 297 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: left behind. It was a blatant lie. And there's so 298 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: much anger out there. You know, Today's Sunday, in the 299 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: Lord's Prayer, it says, forgive us our trespasses, as we 300 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: forgive those who trespass against us. Well, I'm not there yet, 301 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: and neither are they. And they want accountability. And when 302 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: Blincoln goes up to the Capitol tomorrow, the building right 303 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: behind me, when he comes up to the Capitol tomorrow, 304 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: I hope the Congressman McCall and people like Mike Waltz. 305 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: Let me just very quickly describe. I'm on the phone 306 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: with Mike Walts. I'm on the other phone with the 307 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: US Army lieutenant colonel inside the wall at Hamad Karzai 308 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: International Airport, and we're trying to get a group of 309 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: about one hundred and sixty American citizens, Green card holders 310 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: and SIVs people hold a special immigrant visa. They've worked 311 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: with us over the twenty years, and it's right outside 312 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: the Lieutenant Colonel says, if I could reach through this gate, 313 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: I could touch the bust that they're on. And Mike 314 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: and I were on the phone, and he called the 315 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: White House and Mike got the White House General Counsel 316 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: who said, I've talked to the President. It's going to 317 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: be open. And five minutes later there's one of these 318 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: phony calls that there's going to be an imminent attack. 319 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: Everybody's spread out, get away from the gates. That kind 320 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: of thing happened dozens of time, and it wasn't a 321 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: real attack. In fact, the real attack that killed the 322 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: last thirteen Americans killed in this long war, they had 323 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: no warning coming for me. You know, you hear what 324 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Alvernor staying there. These guys just didn't want 325 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: to open the gate because the TWI band said, we 326 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: control the area, you guys can open the gate. We 327 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: gave that up. We gave up bagern, we gave up 328 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: air superiority, we gave up what we needed to do 329 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: to protect an defend Americans. Remember, the Trump plan was 330 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: very clear. The Trump plan was, if you screw with 331 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: America or assets, we will blow you to hell. It 332 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: was actually that simple. We know that was the plan. 333 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: The plan was laid out that Anthony Blincoln now is 334 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: trying to claim that the Trump administration did not leave 335 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: an Afghanistan withdrawal plan. We also now know that is 336 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: a lie, and we have the proof that it is 337 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: a lie. I want to play for you the Secretary 338 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: of State Anthony Blincoln claiming that the Trump administration didn't 339 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: leave any plan for Afghanistan. Now, I'm going to prove 340 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: for you that this a lie, and I hope that 341 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: every one of you that's hearing this will make sure 342 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: you grab our podcasts and share this information because a 343 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: lot of people need to hear the fact check of 344 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: this administration deliberately, purposely lying, implying that the plan that 345 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: they inherited they had no ability to change, altered or 346 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: do it differently, because in fact, they did change and 347 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: alter the plan drastically, which costs Americans their lives, which 348 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: left ten percent of Americans behind their words, not mine, 349 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: and this idea that the Trump administration did not leave 350 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,239 Speaker 1: a plan is an absolute and utter lie. Now, in 351 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a Democrat asked 352 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: the question of Anthony Blincoln. Clearly they set this up 353 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: in advance. Clearly they knew the narrative they were going 354 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: to try to push, which is this all Trump's fault, 355 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: not our fault? To get out of it. Take a listen, 356 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: Secretary B. Lincoln, when you came into office on January twentieth, 357 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: we were committed to pulling everyone out of Afghanistan within 358 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: three months by May first. Did the Trump administration leave 359 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: on your desk a pile of notebooks as to exactly 360 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: how to carry out that plan? Did we have a 361 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: list of which Afghans we were going to evacuate? Did 362 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: we have a plan to get Americans from all over 363 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: Afghanistan to couple and out in an orderly way? How 364 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: meticulous was the planning for the Trump administration declared May 365 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: first withdraw? Oh thank you, Congressman. We inherited a deadline. 366 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: We did not inherit a plan. So nope. I love 367 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: how they're laughing at Well. This is interesting, isn't it. 368 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: I'm a congressman, ha ha. I mean, I know some 369 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: Americans died, but let's chuckle about this for a little bit. 370 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: I know there's Americans left behind that are going to 371 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: probably die, but let's just chuckle. Oh, so you're telling me. 372 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: This is the Trump administration's fault. Yeah. This is funny, 373 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: isn't it. People being dragged from their houses, shot in 374 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: the head, beaten, dismembered, fingernails pulled off, drills being used 375 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: on their arms, legs, and hands. Yeah, funny stuff. No 376 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: plan at all. It's amazing that it wasn't much much worse. 377 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: It's amazing that it wasn't much much worse. There's the narrative, folks. 378 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,479 Speaker 1: All right, let's go out and say we did an 379 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: amazing job. Let's go out and claim during this House 380 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: Committee hearing that the Trump administration did not leave a 381 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: plan for a drawal from Afghanistan. We inherited deadline, We 382 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: did not inherit a plan, he said during this Foreign 383 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: Affairs Committee hearing. Oh, let's laugh about it. Man, Man, 384 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: it's just this bobsch alf can withdraw I had nothing 385 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: to do with Joe Biden, had nothing to do with you, guys. 386 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: This is all Trump's fault. Okay, let's fact check it. 387 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: Is it true or false that the Trump administration didn't 388 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: leave a plan? Verdict false? Former Trump pentagon Chieva's staff 389 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: Patel has said on the record. In fact, even wrote 390 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: an op ed that he handed out over the Biden 391 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: administration withdrawal plan. Handed over the Trump administration's withdrawal plan 392 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: to the Biden a transition team, in fact, before he 393 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: was even the president. Quote, we handed our entire plan 394 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: to the incoming Biden administration during the lengthy transition. The 395 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: new team simply wasn't interested. That's what Patel wrote in 396 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: the New York Post column. He also said, I'm intimately 397 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: familiar with former Presidentald Trump's Afghan strategy. In November twenty twenty, 398 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: I was named to the staff at the Pentagon, where 399 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: one of my primary responsibilities was to wind down the 400 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: forever war in Afghanistan. Trump instructed me to arrange a 401 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: conditions based Remember those words, write it down, tell your 402 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: friends about it. The Trump Plan was a conditions based, 403 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: methodical exit plan that would preserve the national interest. The 404 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: plan ended up being fairly simple. Poll here is the plan, 405 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: the plan that they gave to the Biden administration. The 406 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: Biden administration said, we don't want to hear anything about it. 407 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: Leave us alone. Ready for this. The Afghan government and 408 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: the Taliban were both told they would face the full 409 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: force of the US military if they caused any harm 410 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: to Americans or American interests in Afghanistan. That was first 411 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: and foremost part of the conditions based plan to withdrawal. 412 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: You want us out of here, then while we're getting 413 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: out of here, you the Afghan government and you the Taliban, 414 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: are both on notice. You will face the full force 415 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: the US military if you cause any harm to a 416 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: single American or American interest meaning the translators has helped 417 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: us anybody else in Afghanistan. Okay, that was number one 418 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration, and they took it seriously. And 419 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: the proof it is, for eighteen months we'd have a 420 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: single American killed in Afghanistan under their leadership. So they 421 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: understood strength, they understood power, they understood the threat. They 422 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: unders say that Donald Trump wasn't joking. They understood that 423 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump would blow the hell out of all of 424 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: them if they screwed with any of us. While we 425 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: were exiting. Condition number two, both parties, the Taliban and 426 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: the Afghan government would negotiate to create an interim joint government, 427 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: and both sides had to repudiate out kinde of the 428 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: entire time. Third condition of this condition based plan, that 429 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: the Trump administration was in the process of doing this 430 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: was already happening when Joe Biden became president. It was this, 431 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: and tell everybody about this, A small special operation force 432 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: would be stationed in the country to take direct action 433 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: against any terrorist threats that arose. So the idea that 434 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: we were going to get every American out and then 435 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: we weren't going to have any presidence in Afghanistan is 436 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: also a lie of this administration. The Trump plan was 437 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: to always keep a special Operations forced quote small to 438 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: be stationed in the country to take direct action against 439 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: any terrorist threat that arose. Only when all those and 440 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: I'll say it again, only when all those conditions were met, 441 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: along with other cascading conditions, then a withdrawal could and 442 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: did begin. We successfully executed that plan, the Trump team said, 443 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: until January the twentieth, when Joe Biden became president. During 444 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: that time, there were no US casualties in Afghanistan. While 445 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: we were rolling the plan out. The president of the 446 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: country and the Taliban understood that Donald Trump would blow 447 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: them to hell if they screwed with any Americans or 448 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: are assets. The president of the Taliban also conducted multiple 449 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: rounds of negotiations which exactly what the conditions based plan 450 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: called for, and al Qaeda was one hundred percent sideline 451 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: in the country because the Taliban it was in their 452 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: interest to keep al kat at bay and it was 453 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: the interest of the government in Afghanistan to keep the 454 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: Taliban sideline. The outcome, the result under the Trump Plan 455 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: was a successful draw down of US forces in Afghanistan 456 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: all the way down to two thousand, five hundred. That 457 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: is the lowest count since the dawn of the War 458 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: on Terror. Back to the line, Patel wrote that everything 459 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: changed when Donald Trump declared forces would leave by September 460 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: the eleventh, twenty twenty one, an arbitrary date that he 461 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: chose because he won a grandstand on the twentieth anniversary 462 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: of nine to eleven and say I'm the one that 463 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: got us out. They abandoned us having these small special 464 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: operations forced that would be stationed the country to take 465 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: direct action against any terrorist threat that arose. They abandoned that. 466 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: In fact, Patel wrote, we handed our entire plan to 467 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: the incoming Biden administration during the lengthy transition the new team. 468 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: The Biden team simply wasn't interested. Joe Biden changed everything. 469 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: They didn't follow the plan of the Trump Plan, they 470 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: made their own and their new plan did not have 471 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: a condition, did not have conditions for the withdrawal or 472 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: continued adherence to the agreed upon stipulation that no American 473 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: would be harmed. It would be an unconditional pullout, meaning, 474 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: no matter what happens on the ground, we're gonna pull out, 475 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: no matter how many Americans are left behind, We're gonna 476 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: pull out, no matter how many Americans are trapped or 477 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: held hostage, which is exactly what they are now, They're 478 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: being held hostage. Would stop the pullout dat or change 479 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: the pullout date because it was an arbitrary date based 480 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: on pure symbolism. I'm the one that got us out 481 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: by the twentieth anniversary. Pat me on the back. That's 482 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: my legacy. I'm Joe Biden. I'm brilliant. Now, let's also 483 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: remind you that Patel served as deput assistant to the 484 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: President for counter terrorism.
