1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: A right our two Sean Hannity Show, thanks for being 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: with us. Toll free. A number is eight hundred and 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: nine for one Sean if you want to be part 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: of the program. When I hear this that the ongoing 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: chaos was praced into the withdrawal, that's what Biden said 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: to Democratic hacks Stephanopolos. Biden's digging in. No, no one's 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: being killed right now. We have at least fifteen thousand, 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: according to him, Americans. We don't even know the exact number, 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: which infuriates me. Also trapped behind enemy lines of a 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: terror organization, and we're reporting acts of terror. I just 11 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: chronicled in the last hour, serious acts of terror. And 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: now we have no control whatsoever of the destiny of 13 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: those Americans, except that we're now being told that the Taliban, 14 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: the terrorist group, has has promised pay safe passage to 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: the airport, and people are getting memos, you know, echoing 16 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: yesterday's yeah, and now it's probably a good time to 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: head to the airport. But please know, we cannot ensure 18 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: your safety as you try to get to the airport, 19 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: nor are they guaranteeing get that all out of the airport. Wow, 20 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: you know, did the military warnt none that I can recall, 21 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: But now we know that there was a plan completely 22 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: in place that they dismantled. It was called the Continguency 23 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: and Crisis Response Bureau, and that was formed under Secretary 24 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: of State Bank Pompeo, tasked with providing aviation, logistics, medical 25 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: support capabilities for the departments operational bureaus, thereby enhancing the 26 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Secretary in America's ability to protect American citizens overseas in 27 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: connection with overseas evacuations in the aftermath of a natural 28 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: or man made disaster. Nobody I never saw this coming, 29 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: General Millie saying competence, I mean it is. It is 30 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: beyond any comprehension I have, except that you know our 31 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: military leaders, General milliern than I saw or anyone else saw. 32 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: All you needed to do, General was read a newspaper 33 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: because the newspaper said the Taliban was on the march 34 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: and they've got well last week they were telling you 35 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: they had thirty forty, fifty sixty percent of the country. 36 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, I know, we didn't respond for days. He 37 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: was on vacation. He's going back on vacation. I just 38 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: we just it was just reported. Great. What about the 39 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: Americans that now their fate, their future lies in the 40 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: hands of the Taliban. You can't screw something up this 41 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: bad and spin out of it that we didn't see 42 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: this coming, nothing, no warning that I saw. Then the 43 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: intel community's blaming Joe Biden, and they're blaming the Defense Department. 44 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: The Defense Department blaming the intel community, and everybody's pointing 45 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: fingers at each other. And Biden administration literally went out 46 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: of their way to dismantle the protections that have been 47 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: put in place for a scenario in situation just like this. 48 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable. Eight hundred and nine for one. 49 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: Shaun is our number. Senator Tim Scott, South Carolina, good 50 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: friend of the program, joins us today. Senator, let's get 51 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: your overall take on the situation. I look at this 52 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: from every angle imaginable, and you know, short of a 53 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: massive military presence, I don't see a lot of military 54 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: options available. Although there are British paratroopers that's been reported 55 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: that have that have gone into Coble and surrounding areas 56 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: to protect British citizens and escort them personally to the airport. 57 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: But even under those circumstances, they're outmanned and outgunned and outnumbered. 58 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Now the billions of dollars of American weaponry is in 59 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: the hands of the Taliban. Also, Sir, yes, we san, 60 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: thank you for covering this issue so comprehensively. As usual, 61 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: you are spot on and ahead of the curve. When 62 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: you look at President Biden's performance, the few words that 63 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: come to mind unmitigated disaster, their reliction of duties as 64 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: commander in chief, talking about cutting and running during the 65 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: fighting season, he ignored good intelligence, and frankly, the message 66 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: that sends to our allies could not be more crippling. 67 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: While he is safely tucked away at Camp David, I 68 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: can't think of a more bizarre and alarming picture that 69 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: the President of the United States comes out of hiding. 70 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: It seems like Cory press conference, won't take questions and 71 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: then to runs again and only talks to George Stepanopolis 72 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: is the greatest bizarre occurrence I've seen in the foreign 73 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: policy disaster happening in real time with thousands of Americans 74 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: trapped in a country without the greatest fighting force ever 75 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: crafted in the history of the world at their disposal. 76 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: I don't understand how in the world he allows us 77 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: to be where we are, but there we find ourselves 78 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: with the lack of leadership from the White House. When 79 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: they say they didn't see it coming, you watched news. 80 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: You followed news as closely as as anyone in your 81 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: business has to. And you saw that the plum band 82 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: was on the march. You saw that they were very 83 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: quickly taking over significant portions of the country. We all 84 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: saw it coming, we all And yet you know, we 85 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: watched go back to last weekend, and even with this unfolding, 86 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: you know, Joe stays on vacation, flies back in, you know, 87 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: to Washington, does a ten minute speech, er is choppered in, 88 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: and then and goes right back home. And now he's 89 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: going now apparently he's taken another long weekend in Delaware, 90 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: and when he's asked questions yesterday, doesn't answer one of them, 91 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: and he talks about COVID, not Afghanistan. I really have 92 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: a problem with this because you have common sense, as Sean, 93 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: you should have a problem with it. Every American in 94 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: this country, and frankly, every American abroad should be shaking 95 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: in our boots watching not on the President of the 96 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: United States. He's also the commander in chief of our military. 97 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: He is this dereliction of duties cannot be seen best 98 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: as the potents. We have to see it best, is 99 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: commander in chief. And what we're watching here is an absolute, 100 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: utter disaster, one that is preventable, completely preventable. You never 101 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: leave anyone behind, certainly not fifteen vowels and living, breathing Americans. 102 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I hear around fifteen thousand, but thousands of Americans left 103 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: behind in a very uncertain environment with terrorists coming for 104 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: every corner of the country. I don't understand what he 105 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: doesn't understand and how you goes and they're they're telling Americans, 106 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: and I know from your fellow Senator to Lindsey Graham, 107 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: apparently both of your offices are being inundated with calls, 108 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: desperate calls from families and people in Afghanistan. Even you know, 109 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: how do we get out? Now? The State Department is 110 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: telling people, you might want to start making your way 111 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: to the airport, but we can't guarantee your safe passage 112 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: to the airport. We know the perimeter around Ahmed Karside 113 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: International Airport is now in total control of the Taliban, 114 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: numerous checkpoints. Just even getting into the airport, then we 115 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: got reports of all the violence, which I chronicled them 116 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: in the last hour. I won't repeat here. The Wall 117 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: Street Journal editorial board actually says the US is now 118 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: hostage to the Taliban. Walter Russell mead at the Journal 119 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: the return of America health hostage. I don't I really 120 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: see that every one of these American lives, Senator, that 121 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: their destiny is out of our hands and in the 122 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: hands of a terrorist organization. Am I wrong? You were? 123 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Unfortunately right. I saw that the same Wall Street Journal 124 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: op ed editorial and sends it so clearly that we 125 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: are literally watching the President and his efforts leave too 126 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: many Americans at the mercy of terrorists. And literally people 127 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: were being beaten as they get out of their cars Afghans, 128 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: and we are hoping and pleading with the terrorists literally 129 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: to let our people will come to the airport. That 130 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: is a weak picture. It's a weak scene to be 131 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: digested by Americans and our adversaries. Bad enough for our 132 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: allies to watch this, but our adversaries are being emboldened 133 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: by the inaction of this president, suggesting that we don't 134 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: know if we can keep Americans safe. And I honestly 135 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: thought it was bad enough. You know, it's interesting to 136 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: watch Biden save that he inherited this from Trump, but 137 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: then he abandoned the plan of the evacuation plans and 138 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: contingencies that had been put in place by Mike Pompeo 139 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: and President Trump and with President Trump, Steele came based 140 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: on conditions on the ground that was very very specific 141 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: before the fighting season. That was specific, and also the 142 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: dire threat that I would they would be blown into 143 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: another century if they dared not abide by every comma 144 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: and every period in any agreement. And that was said 145 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: upfront and first, and I'm told by many people that 146 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: were on the call it was a brutal, straightforward, no 147 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: nonsense threat. We will destroy you if harm comes to 148 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: a single American. I don't see that fear existing and 149 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: this plan of Biden not at all. As a matter 150 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: of fact, Sean, the two things that we can contrast 151 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: is one is strong leadership and the other one is 152 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: week leadership under President Trump. But we saw very clearly 153 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: was a deadline based on condition. Therefore, the deadline is 154 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: not a deadline if the conditions changed. Obviously they have changed. 155 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: So watching national media try to conflate this into a 156 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: Trump Biden issue is just terrible because it's inconsistent with reality. 157 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: What we know, however, is that the Biden administration had 158 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: a chance to do it differently. They had a chance 159 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: to make sure that the current catastrophe did not happen. 160 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: They decided to go with arbitrary deadlines set by themselves. 161 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: They have done this to themselves, to the American people, 162 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: to our ally, and frankly to the interpreters and the 163 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: Americans and Afghanistan. We know exactly where the blame of 164 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: this issue. It is at the feet of President by 165 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: them by himself, no other administration, just this one. Do 166 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: you have any options, because I'm I don't see any 167 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: good ones to be very blunt, because we both know 168 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: what the Taliban is capable of so militarily, you know, 169 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: we could, we could show all the all the might 170 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: of the United States now, but it's too late because 171 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: they have control of of where the Americans are, which 172 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: is behind enemy lines. Do you see any option other 173 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: than counting on the goodwill of the Taliban? And I 174 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: can't believe quote those words are even flying out of 175 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: my mouth. Yeah, I will say as as the answer 176 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: is short and simple, No, there are no good options 177 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: left on the table. The only options that we see 178 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: that fall into the category of two little too few 179 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: people on the ground to be able to hold anything 180 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: other than the airport. According to those, Secretary Austin and 181 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: General Miley, they both were in concerts saying this is 182 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: basically out of their hands. They simply don't have the troops, 183 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: They don't have the authority to even increase the presence, 184 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: and frankly, bringing the truths back into harm's way is 185 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: also a complicated decision that could have all been eliminated 186 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: had we just not cut and run. That is something 187 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: that should never be phononymous with who we are as 188 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: a nation's frankly, it is not. It is, however, consistent 189 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: with this administration. It is not consistent with the American people. 190 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: It's not consistent with every single member of our armed 191 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: forces who fought to keep that country stable for twenty 192 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: years and less than ninety days we saw the efforts 193 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: of thousands upon thousands of troops go down the drain 194 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: because of the dereliction of duty of this administration. There 195 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: are no good options on the table that we can 196 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: put there without putting in jeopardy more American lives. It's 197 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario and the one that I just 198 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: don't understand how in the world President Biden allowed us 199 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: to get into this situation. Senator, our prayers are with 200 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: everybody over there. I want every American and frankly all 201 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: the people that we've made a promised too that if 202 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: this day ever came, those that assisted us in our 203 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: military effort over the twenty years, they deserve safe passage 204 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: out of there as well. Because their destiny is now sealed, 205 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: their fate is sealed. They will be killed, either they 206 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: leave or they die. Our prayers are with all of them. 207 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: Thank you, senator, appreciate it. The update eight hundred nine 208 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: four one SEA on our number. We'll get to a 209 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: lot of your calls coming up. We'll also talk to 210 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: Brigadier General Don Bullduck and well a full coverage on 211 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: Hannity to at nine on Fox at nine pm. Do 212 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: you know where your president is? Yep. He sounded asleep 213 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: in his bed with a lot of care in the world. 214 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: Must be nice, Joe. The rest of us will keep working. 215 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: You are on the Sean Show. I don't think I've 216 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: ever gotten a reaction to a story that we've covered, 217 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: news that we've covered like the reaction we're getting here, 218 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: and there's a reason for that. The reason is simple. 219 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: We're the United States of America. We have the biggest, 220 00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: the best, the mightiest fighting force in the planet. The 221 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: idea that people didn't see or they factored in chaos 222 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: as part of any withdrawal, and they didn't think ahead 223 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: enough and didn't see the writing on the wall early enough, 224 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: and that they decided to stay on vacation rather than 225 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: deal with an unfolding crisis says everything. The saddest part 226 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: of what we're witnessing is it was entirely preventable, all 227 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: of it. Your calls are next when we come back 228 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: more of the best of the Sean Hannity Show. Stay tuned, 229 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: you are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity 230 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: Show standing up for what's right with America. We're back 231 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: on The Sean Hannity Show twenty five till the top 232 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: of the hour. It is really spectacularly stunning to watch 233 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: a guy who took a stable situation handed to him 234 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: with a plan, an exit plan in place that literally 235 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: was going to be decided based on conditions on the 236 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: ground and in and literally what they thought Oh, intelligence 237 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: was telling us on Thursday and Friday. Oh, it would 238 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: be ninety days minimum if they ever got to Cobble, 239 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: meaning the Taliban, they'd already taken sixty percent of the country, 240 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: and Joe let him do it. You know, the difference 241 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: between President Trump and President Biden is that the Taliban 242 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: respected and feared Donald Trump. They saw what happened to 243 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: the Caliphate and isis as Donald Trump systematically just wipe 244 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: them out and blew them into smithereens. And they saw 245 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: that that would happen to them, that would be their fate. 246 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: Those war options. Apparently Joe is in conflict with some 247 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: of his own military leaders. You know, this is a 248 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: buck stops with me. But I don't regret my decision. 249 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Our allies regret it. Every man woman that served out 250 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, every family that lost a loved one, every 251 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: permanently injured soldier. Trust me that they're watching this in horror, 252 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: as they should. As people are clinging to airplanes taking 253 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: off in the hopes that maybe they can get the 254 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: hell out of there, and then falling from the sky. 255 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: You can't spin Joe's surrender, or, as Leon Panetta calls it, 256 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's Bay of Pigs moment. Our credibility right now 257 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: is in question. This is Leon Panetta in many ways, 258 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: I think of John Kennedy. Bay of Pigs had unfolded quickly. 259 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: The President thought everything would be fine, and that was 260 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: not the case. Kennedy, he took responsibility for what took place. 261 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: I recommend Biden that he'd take responsibility and admit the 262 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: mistakes that were made. No, his plan was to blame Trump, 263 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,479 Speaker 1: which was a situation where they feared him. Number one 264 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: and number two would be based on conditions on the ground. 265 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: I know because I know the people that were involved 266 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: in that decision, like Secretary Pompeo and the Senators that 267 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: were involved with that decision. You know, it's the exact 268 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: opposite of what Joe answered the other day. Let me 269 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: play it again. Any chance to Taliban can get back 270 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: in power, No, Joe, this is what Joe said. Is 271 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan now inevitable? No, it is not. 272 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: Because you have the Afghan troops have three hundred thousand wow, 273 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: well equipped as well as clipped as any army in 274 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: the world, and an air force against something like seventy 275 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: five thousand Taliban. It is not inevitable. There's gonna be 276 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: no circumstances. You see people being lifted off the roof 277 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: of a embassy of the United States from Afghanistan, Yeah, 278 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: we kind of saw that, and it's still even unfolding. Now. 279 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: We have pleased for member from press organizations to get 280 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: our people the hell out of here, and I'm not 281 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: exactly sure how they're going to pull that off, because 282 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: that's what we're that's that's now the situation that he 283 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: created the exact opposite of what he told us and 284 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: assured us would never happen. But it's Trump's fault, It's 285 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: Ghani's fault, It's the Afghan Army's fault, and one of 286 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: the toughest of the armies militaries of all time with 287 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: a with a with an air force. And what happened, Joe, 288 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: everything you told us didn't happen. You act like you're 289 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: being noble and that this is not about nation building. 290 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: We'll speak out on human rights. Really, Joe, did you 291 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: not Are you not aware what happened the last time? 292 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: And this notion that you're gonna blame your predecessor for 293 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: this now because they were afraid of Trump, just like 294 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: China is afraid of Trump, and Russia was afraid of Trump, 295 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: and the Iranians were afraid of Trump, but they're not 296 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: afraid of you. Now. As a result of this, now 297 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: you've got the Chinese stepping in and saying, ah, yeah, 298 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna acknowledge the new government in Afghanistan. 299 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: And now they're using their propaganda outlets to move forward 300 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: with the narrative. Yeah. Um, I don't think Joe's gonna 301 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: stop us when we re have reunification with Taiwan. And 302 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: by the way, they're not wrong, as there's no consequences 303 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: for the communist Chinese lectures on human rights they're giving 304 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: Tony blinkin, just like they're threatening our military operations and 305 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: the Japanese military operations, lecturing us on landing planes at 306 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: our allied at our allied country Taiwan, as if we 307 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: need their frigging permission. It's unbelievable. They were asleep at 308 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: the well. It didn't have to be a humiliating defeat 309 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: like this. He turned it into it and had no 310 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: clue it was coming, although everybody warned him it was coming. 311 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: The Taliban don't fear Joe Biden, neither do the Chinese, 312 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: the Russians, or anybody else. Unbelievable. I inherited a bad deal, 313 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: cup on my predecessor. Really, well, you also an inherited 314 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: energy independence and a secure border, Joel, And no problem 315 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: screwing that up, well you could. You're gonna act like 316 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: that's Trump's fault, your president's I'm the President of the 317 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: United States. I'm like, oh, he finally remembered for five minutes. 318 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing of twenty year mission collapsing and 319 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: literally a twenty four hour period of time, that's all 320 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: it took. And China will now recognize the declared Islamic 321 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: Emirate of Afghanistan, who who did not see the is 322 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: coming at the Pentagon because the Pentagon our government General 323 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: Milly said in you know, back in July, the nation's 324 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: top general express confidence, just like Biden, in Afghan security 325 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: forces and that they would be able to fend off 326 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: any tried attempt to take over by the Taliban, you know, 327 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: and that you know, any any predictions that this could happen, 328 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: a fall of cobble within you know, just a short 329 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: period of time like this. No, and as there's Joe 330 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: on vacation watching it all unfold and doing nothing but 331 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: great praise. This is worse than Jimmy Carter. If you 332 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: want my opinion, it's Jimmy Carter. I mean, we spend 333 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: two point three trillion dollars. We lost American treasure over there. 334 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: Colonel Oliver North joins US. I don't even know what 335 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: to say at this point. I know you've been there 336 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: many many times. I know you know people that lost 337 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: loved ones over there. I know you know people that 338 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: serve multiple deployments over there and have suffered greatly as 339 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: a result. I know people that have been permanently severely 340 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: injured that you know from over there. And then you 341 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: see what unfolded this weekend. Your thoughts, Well, let's back 342 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: up just one second, because I listened very carefully to 343 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: what this president said to the nation in the world 344 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: here a few minutes ago, and I'm glad he said 345 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: that the buck stops with him, because he does own 346 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: this disaster. Okay, Tragedy is an inadequate word to describe 347 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: what's happening in Afghanistan. Biden's mouthpieces and Biden himself claimed 348 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: again today that the Afghan army numbered three hundred thousand 349 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: and outnumbered the Taliban which only had seventy five thousand. 350 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: That's just wrong. It's not true. And if Millie or 351 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: if the CIA was telling him that they're lying, bottom 352 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: line of it is, we did train three hundred thousand 353 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: people that unfortunately since July they have not been paid. Well, 354 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: the money disappeared. It is our money, there's no out 355 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: about it. We've been paying them, but the money didn't 356 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: get to the troops. And so in Kanadahar, where I 357 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: spent way too much of my life, and the second 358 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: largest city in the country, the troops had not been paid, 359 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: fed or given m O for over a month, okay, 360 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: And so at the end of the day, when they 361 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: see the Americans are going to cut and run, the 362 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: Biden bugout is underway, they turn around and say, we 363 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: can't get air support anymore. Biden talked again today about 364 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: this over the horizon capability of air power and counter 365 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: terrorism operations. Let me just tell you something. There's there's 366 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: no way an American pilot who has a flame out 367 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: or get shot down is going to get rescued because 368 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: there's no search and rescue left in the country. Think 369 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: about that. You've got American airplanes up overhead at this minute, 370 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: and nobody to call airstrikes on them except the six 371 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: thousand Americans surrounding the airport. I mean that that commentary 372 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: by the President was full allies and the American people 373 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: ought not to be snooker becau he quotes Harry Truman, 374 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: The buck stops here. This is an absolute travesty. Biden 375 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: and his company said that they Afghans have an air force. 376 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: They did, Unfortunately the contractors left months ago, and so 377 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: keeping airplanes up and running requires a lot of maintenance, 378 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: a lot of the kinds of service that they need, 379 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: and they can't fly because they don't have fuel, they 380 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: don't have AMMO. All of the logistics were being done 381 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: for that air force were being handled by Americans, and 382 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: the worst thing he did was to set a date 383 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: certain instead of conditions based decisions and others. We're going 384 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: to pull people back out of this space. Let's make 385 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: sure that before we do. Let's give Canadar as an example. 386 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: Before we pull the Americans out of Canadar, which we 387 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: did months ago, let's make sure that we've got an 388 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: Afghan unit that's being well supplied, well supported, and has 389 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: direct communications with air power. They didn't do that, and 390 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: so everybody now says that they're surprised by the outcome. 391 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: You just said yourself, we shouldn't have been surprised. We 392 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: should not have been the incompetence that everybody warned that 393 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: this what happened. Well, no, there were a lot of 394 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: people warning, not not just me, okay, not just you, 395 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: but there were people inside the Pentagon who's made witning 396 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: of what he is planning to do, is said don't 397 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: do it, and he wouldn't did it anyway. Okay, So 398 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: this Biden blunder, it overshadows the catastrophe of April thirtieth, 399 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five, and the war I was in, Okay, 400 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: and I will tell you this, there are gonna be 401 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: you know, one of the great things that's happened since 402 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: you and I started going around the country raising money 403 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: for Freedom Lands to help the hurt heroes and their families. Okay, 404 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: you know I was ten years ago. Okay. Since then, 405 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: the suicide rate for veterans, which were predominantly Vietnamese excuse me, 406 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: Vietnam War veterans, okay, dropped from twenty twenty two down 407 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: to twenty mark it's going to shoot up again because 408 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: the catastrophe like this, unparalleled since Vietnam, is going to 409 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: be remembered by these guys for a long long time. 410 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean I lost over there in that war that 411 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: I still wake up at night thinking about him. Okay, 412 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: and you know what the word that the troops used 413 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: over there, the troops would say when Smithy got killed, 414 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: he was wasted. And that's exactly what this president has 415 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: made sure happens in this war. It's an absolute travesty 416 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: what this man has done. There's nobody around that I 417 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: know of that says we should stay forever in Afghanistan 418 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: or Iraq. But doing the right thing, and that's getting 419 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: out of the war the wrong way is catastrophic and 420 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: that's what we've got because of this commander in chief. 421 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: God help us. And then in my column I said 422 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: this week, you know what, if if there's a single 423 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: American that dies as a consequence of this, then this 424 00:27:55,119 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: president ought to be impeached. I don't think disagree. The 425 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: Fall of Cobble, a twenty year mission, collapses in a 426 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: single day of surrender the Afghan images, the Afghan president flees, 427 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: the US embassy lowers the American flag and is flying 428 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: over it right now. Correct videos from Cobble Taliban fighters 429 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: now celebrating inside Afghan's presidential palace. Complete chaos at the airport, travesty. 430 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: You know, this is this is twenty years for what 431 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: And there was no there was absolutely no fear within 432 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: the Taliban. There was complete confidence. If anything, they were 433 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: surprised they got there as fast as they did, but 434 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: they got there. You know, hopefully there is someone at 435 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: a government agency that is looking at all the video 436 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: that's coming out, most of it from cell phones, right 437 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: and if you start looking at these guys, many of them, 438 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: not just a couple here and there, but many of 439 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: them are foreign fighters. They don't dress the same, they 440 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: don't look the same, They wear their beards differently. And 441 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: you've now got his commentary was, we're going to make 442 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: sure that because we got over the horizon capabilities, that's 443 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: just well, it's it's it's horse manure, Okay. I mean 444 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: the fact is they don't have that kind of capability. 445 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: And again I mentioned the words SAR search and rescue. 446 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: If an aircraft goes down, that pilot is gone forever. 447 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: I mean, think about this. They're now committing atrocities the 448 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: likes of which we've not seen since Isis was destroyed 449 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: by the Trump administration, and you're seeing them. Let me 450 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: at one point coming up, Yeah, we left a cash 451 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: of all our weaponry, all of our all of our trucks, 452 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: all of our vehicles. Everything they did they took. They 453 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: took nothing with them. They not only left, but they 454 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: left the Taliban armed. Well, they look as President Biden 455 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: ordered the evacuation of the best airbase in the country, 456 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: which is Bogram. Okay, they already had abandoned under Obama. 457 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: The second best one, which was down. It was called 458 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: Bastion leather Neck down in the southern part of Gandhar, 459 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: south of Gandhar. I mean, what you've got now is 460 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: an unmitigated disaster. And this president thankfully said the buck 461 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: stops with him. Well, I hope you're going to go 462 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: to the funerals. Are you going to go up to 463 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: Dover to meet the caskets when they come in? And 464 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,239 Speaker 1: you're going to count on the Chinese to get our 465 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: people out? Is that what we're doing. Don't underestimate the 466 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: power of blackmail. Statement appreciate your Colonel North. You're a 467 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: good man. It's unbelievable. I never thought i'd see this again. 468 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: It's it's I mean, all the analogies about Psigan on 469 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: that final helicopter, it's exactly the same and unmitigated disaster. 470 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: For Leon Panatta to say what he said, yeah, pretty 471 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: much proves it.
