1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly Show, and then Jesse Kelly Show.

2
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Let's have some fun on a Tuesday, and it's going

3
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: to be a different kind of a Tuesday. So strap

4
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: in and buckle up and let me tell you what

5
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: it's in store for you tonight on the world famous

6
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. First of all, I'm just gonna lay

7
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: out this warning right now. This first bit, maybe the

8
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: first hour, I don't know how long it's going to take.

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: Me is going to be a little bit heavy. It

10
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: is the anniversary today of Abby Gate. It is weighing

11
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: heavy on my heart. I have a lot I want

12
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: to say, trying to honor them, trying to condemn those responsible,

13
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: and we are going to walk through that. I'm not

14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: going to forget and I'm not going to let it go.

15
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that tonight, I know, because

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: that's going to be heavy. We're all going to be

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: a little way down in a little bit, you me, everybody.

18
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna chop away at a bunch of really cool emails,

19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: fun stuff, history stuff, all kinds of stuff afterwards, and

20
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: then we'll get onto some other news of the day.

21
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: A couple little items here, little items there, Pam, Bonnie

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: doesn't want you getting hammered on a boat this weekend.

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: All that and so much more coming up on the

24
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Yeah, Pam, you know freedom

25
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: is not free quit anyway. We'll get to that in

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: a little while, but let's first discuss military service sacrifice,

27
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: risking your life, losing your life on behalf of your

28
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: nation or tribe, whatever, wherever you happen to live. There

29
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: is an old, old old saying that war is old

30
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: men talking and young men dying. It's an old saying.

31
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: They pulled that saying out in the movie Troy. If

32
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: that's where you heard that saying first, just know that's

33
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: an ancient proverb, much older than the movie Troy. Okay,

34
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: but I do think it's thousands of years old. War

35
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: is old men talking and young men dying. Now, that

36
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: is not as insulting as it always sounds. That's just

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the nature of how things are. As you get older,

38
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: Lord willing, you get wiser, but your body isn't. It's

39
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: not what it used to be, and so you need

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: to do more, the thinking, more, the decision making. When

41
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: you're young, not as wise yet, not because you're stupid.

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Or there's anything wrong with you. You just don't have

43
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: enough years under your belt yet, don't have enough experience.

44
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: You're not as wise maybe, but physically you are tip

45
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: top shape. And you as a young man and well

46
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: young women nowadays. Two as a young man, you have

47
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: those shoulders, legs, chests. You have that body in part

48
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: because you are made to defend things. Defend your home physically,

49
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: your woman, defend your town, your city, your country, and sometimes,

50
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: if you so choose, give up your life in service

51
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: to your country. That's the way things are. Young Men

52
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: have fought in wars since time immemorial, and have died

53
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: in wars since time began. That's the way it goes.

54
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: I understand that, and then we explain every single person

55
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: in uniform, especially frontline troops, they understand that, and they

56
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: understand that's part of the risk. Yes, if I sign up,

57
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: I may die. But whether we're talking about a big

58
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: country or a small tribe, I have always in will

59
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: always believe that the country itself, the government itself, owes

60
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: you two things. If you are one of the young

61
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: men or young women who will go die on behalf

62
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: of that country, your country owes you two things. One

63
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: your life that you're willing to give up for it

64
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: should not be thrown away, should not be disregarded as nothing.

65
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, look, they may order you to go do

66
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: something very very dangerous with the risk of death very

67
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: very high. Don't throw my life away like it's nothing.

68
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: Don't throw the life of a young soldier away like

69
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: it's nothing, because it's not nothing. That's a living, breathing

70
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: human being with parents, siblings, maybe a wife, children. Don't

71
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: take his willingness to sacrifice and abuse it and throw

72
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: it away, throw it away with incompetence, with evil, with corruption.

73
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: So that's one, don't throw the life away. And two,

74
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: if that young soldier does give up his life on

75
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: behalf of his country, honor him the old man who

76
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: did the talking, meaning the ones who gave the orders,

77
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: the ones who planned it. Honor the one who gave

78
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: up his life. He deserves that. Society deserves to know

79
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: his name, His fellow soldiers deserve to see you honoring him.

80
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: His family deserves to see that honor in respect the

81
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: ones who gave up their lives. I don't think that's

82
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: asking a lot of any country or any tribe. Don't

83
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: throw the life away honor the sacrifice once it's been made.

84
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: The reason I am opening up the show tonight talking

85
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: about Abby Gate, I'm going to try to remain quite calm.

86
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: If you listen to this show for a while, you'll

87
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: know that was the angriest I've ever been on the radio,

88
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: shouting into the microphone. I hate doing that. I don't

89
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: like doing angry radio. I'm going to try to stay

90
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: calm tonight. The reason I'm doing this tonight is both counts,

91
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: don't throw the life away and respect the sacrifice after

92
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: it's gone. On both counts, the Communists in the Biden administration,

93
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: in the State Department, in the intelligence community, in the

94
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: military community failed those troops who gave up their lives.

95
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: The young woman, a bunch of young men gave up

96
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: their lives for this country, and their lives were thrown

97
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: away by an evil, evil regime, by negligence by evil,

98
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: and afterwards, in the aftermath of it, and to this day,

99
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: nothing has been done to properly honor them. I do.

100
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: Before I go on the dark stuff, want to give

101
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: a nice shout out to Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump

102
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: and JD. Vance who welcomed them into the White House

103
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: today honored them. Here was a little bit of Pete Hags.

104
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: Half of this beautiful group on, behalf of these families,

105
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: on behalf of your loved ones who fought for our nation.

106
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: America deserves answers as far as what happened in Afghanistan.

107
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: The military needs to answer for what happened in Afghanistan.

108
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: So upon the President's direction, immediately we initiated an investigation

109
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: which showed that they're needed an even deeper dive. So

110
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: Sean Parnell, or Pentagon spokesman, who himself is an Afghanistan veteran,

111
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: is leading this effort. It's a top priority for us.

112
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: We're getting access to all documents necessary, why decisions were made,

113
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: why they weren't made, why certain force protection measures were ignored. Again,

114
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: there's never been accountability for this. It's something that Joe

115
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: Biden allowed to happen that never should have happened. Anybody

116
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: who any objective observer knows that's not how you leave

117
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: a country, and certainly these families know better than anyone else.

118
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: These families deserving.

119
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell was a good man. Sean Parnell will dig

120
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: down as deep as this hole goes and Sean Parnell

121
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: will get US answers and credit to the Trump administration

122
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: for digging into this. So let's recap what happened. Let's

123
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: talk about it to hold people accountable, and let's talk

124
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: about it to honor those who gave up their lives.

125
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you right now, at the end of

126
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: all of this, I'm going to read their thirteen names

127
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: and we are going to play taps in their honor.

128
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: So Afghanistan, you know, we went there post nine to

129
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: eleven to track down Osama bin Laden. That was it

130
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: was a big CIA special operations. It was a big

131
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, tip of the Spear operation. There's great, great

132
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: material on that out there. Now we know Osama bin

133
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Lan was there, we know Afghanistan was really a hotbed

134
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: for Jihati activity, and it is, of course, and so

135
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: we went there to track down the man responsible for

136
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: bringing down the towers. But as is so often the case,

137
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: we didn't have a clear mission. Part of the reason

138
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: people fall in love with World War two is the

139
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: mission was so incredibly clear, and in a lot of ways,

140
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: it's really the last war we had where the mission

141
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: was clear. There that's Nazi Germany destroy them. Defeat them there,

142
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: that's imperial to Japan. Destroy them, Defeat them, that's the goal.

143
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: Unconditional surrender. You will be defeated. And that clarity we

144
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: find so refreshing, don't we, especially in the wake of

145
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: everything that happened after that Korea? What are we doing? Okay,

146
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: we ran them out of the south, but now we're

147
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: invading the north? Are we?

148
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

149
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Vietnam? We started on that. Poor guys over there talked

150
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: about it all. What's the mission? What are we doing?

151
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: What's the end goal? Iraq? Afghanistan? The lack of clarity

152
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: we know now we know courtesy of things like the

153
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: Afghanistan papers, which is about the only decent thing the

154
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: Washington Post has ever done. We know clear back to Rumsfeld.

155
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: They're sending memos to each other. I'm not sure what

156
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: the mission is now, can't find him. What are we

157
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: doing here? We'll continue on in a moment. Before we

158
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: continue on, speaking of Vietnam. Our Vietnam veterans are getting

159
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: older too. Do you have one in your life? Send

160
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: him a text, make a phone call, talk to him,

161
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: say thank you. Remember this is why I talked to

162
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: you so often about pure talk Remember when I told

163
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: you about mac Vie SAG and what they did in Vietnam,

164
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: dying in droves behind enemy lines. The bravest of the

165
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: break the missions are that they're like something out of

166
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: the movies. There really are all of them. They're just

167
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: something out of the movies. The CEO of Pure Tuck

168
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: did two tours with mcve song. How do you end

169
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: up with a mobile company that has this kind of

170
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: patriotism handing out flags for independence? How does that happen? Well,

171
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: when your CEO was macv SAG, that's what you get.

172
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: You can have the exact same phone service you have now,

173
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: the same phone or a new one, same phone number.

174
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: But you can pay less and patronize a company that

175
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: loves this country the way you do. How do you

176
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: do it? You pick up that cell phone, you dial

177
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: Pound two five zero and you say Jesse Kelly Pound

178
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly, we'll be back. Jesse

179
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: Kelly returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on

180
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: a wonderful, fantastic Tuesday. You can email us Jesse at

181
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Jesse kellyshow dot com. And after I get done dragging

182
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: you down memory lane talking about Abbygate Afghanistan. The four

183
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: year anniversary, we'll get to a bunch of those emails,

184
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: maybe take a load off for a little bit, But

185
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: for now, we are going to discuss what happened. We're

186
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: going to discuss the sacrifice, the players to everything. We

187
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: are going to talk about this. We are not going

188
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: to let it go. We are not going to forget Afghanistan.

189
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: We end up going in there after Osama bin Laden,

190
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: but very very quickly the politicians and military leaders lose

191
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: sight of what we're actually doing. What are we doing here?

192
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: Why are we here? What is the actual overall mission?

193
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: All right, this unbelievably goes on for twenty years. I

194
00:12:54,280 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: still cannot believe that number. For twenty years, we had

195
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: our guys running around Afghanistan doing crazy things. Some missions

196
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: made sense, some missions did not. A lot of blood

197
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: was lost over there. Some things we would we'd go

198
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: put in a water well that was never used. Sometimes

199
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: we were told we weren't allowed to touch the poppy fields,

200
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: the heroin fields. In fact, we had American troops guarding them.

201
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: We had a Green Beret assault an Afghani police chief

202
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: who was assaulting a young boy, very common practice in Afghanistan.

203
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: And the Green Beret got in trouble and what this

204
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: did just I'm giving it to you from somebody who

205
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: participated in the old g Watt. I was Iraq, not Afghanistan.

206
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you this disillusioned veterans like you cannot

207
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: possibly imagine. We watched betrayal after betrayal after betrayal from

208
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: our political and military leaders, Republican and Democrat. The most

209
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: I've told you this before, the most revealing moment of

210
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: my entire life was being in the Iraq invasion, fighting

211
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: our way through the country and being told one day

212
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: that the order came down that we had to put

213
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: away our American flags, telling a legion of young patriotic

214
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Marines that they had to hide their American flags. I

215
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever seen the light go out

216
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: of so many young Marines eyes as I did that day.

217
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: But this is what happens when your country's led by

218
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of scumbags who don't love it, don't care

219
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: about anything but their own power, their own wealth. And

220
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: this went on for twenty years in places like Afghanistan. Now,

221
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: after twenty years, see Obama wanted out of Afghanistan at

222
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: least he said he did. Trump said he did too.

223
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: Biden said, everybody kept saying they wanted out, but we

224
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: were not out because it's not easy to get out

225
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: when you've been in a place for twenty years. You

226
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: have a military base, you have relationships, you have supply lines,

227
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: you have all these things. And one of the things

228
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: we were doing for twenty years was supposedly building up

229
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: the Afghan forces so they would be able to withstand

230
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: the Taliban when we did leave. But here's a little

231
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: genius wrinkle, brought to you by America's military. We also

232
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: forced them to be reliant on us, meaning yeah, you'll

233
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: be able to fight off the Taliban as long as

234
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: we are here providing X, Y, and Z. We essentially

235
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: trained them to ride a bike with training wheels and

236
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: then decided all at once to rip those training wheels away. Now,

237
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: let's discuss the decision itself to pull out the way

238
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden did, Because there is a way to egress

239
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: from a nation. There is a way to pull out.

240
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: It is not easy, but it is there is a way.

241
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: You have to do it carefully, slowly, one step at

242
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: a time. You essentially take one step at a time

243
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: backwards towards the door. You don't turn and run towards

244
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: the door. You don't back up too fast or you'll fall.

245
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: You take one step at a time, just like you

246
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: see in the movies, backing out the door, slowly but surely.

247
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: But you see, that's not what the Biden administration wanted.

248
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: Why why the big hurry? Why just pull everyone out,

249
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: turn around and run for the door. Oh, I'm glad

250
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: you asked poll numbers, approval ratings. We were approaching the

251
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: anniversary of nine to eleven, the twentieth anniversary nine to eleven.

252
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: The Biden administration wanted a good talking point. They wanted

253
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: a good parade, a good flowery, fluffy military video to

254
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: put out. They wanted Joe Biden to look like the

255
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: man who finally got us out of Afghanistan. So, against

256
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: all the advice in the world, they simply sent the

257
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: memo out and said, hey, leave, Oh oh okay, when?

258
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: Oh now, what do you mean now? Like right now?

259
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: Leave everywhere? Yeah? Well, what about all the equipment we have?

260
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: Leave it? Uh? What about the terrorists we're currently holding

261
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: ISIS terrorists currently holding being detained in Barga Mare Base.

262
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: Oh I don't care. Leave for poll numbers, for approval ratings,

263
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: so they could send out a nice tweet. That's why

264
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: we left. We'll pick up the story from there in

265
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: a moment. Before we pick up the story from there,

266
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: what hurts physically on you? There's something, and if there's not,

267
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: there will be what hurts physically on you. It's weird

268
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: how I find it fascinating how different bodies break down

269
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: in different ways. Maybe it's your foot, maybe it's my elbow,

270
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: maybe it's your back, neck, my head. Different parts of

271
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: your body suffer from inflammation. As you get older, and

272
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: we lose this and lose that. Your body's still trying

273
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: to fight it the same way it always did, but

274
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: now your body needs help. You don't have to give

275
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: up the things you love to do. You like to

276
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: go play, pickleball, go off work, construction, woodworking. What do

277
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: you love to do that you gave up because it hurts.

278
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: Don't give up the things that make your life better.

279
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: Give up pain. Relief Factor will help you give up pain.

288
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: True.

289
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: It's the Jesse Kelly Show.

290
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show. On a Tuesday, a

291
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: wonderful Tuesday, as we walk through Afghanistan, Abbygate to pull

292
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: out what happened, as we try to honor sacrifice, try

293
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: to hold people accountable on the fourth anniversary of all

294
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: of it. So Joe Biden because he wanted and I

295
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: know when I say Joe Biden as always, just know

296
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: that's a placeholder. He didn't want anything. It was the dirty,

297
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: filthy communists who hate America all around him. That was

298
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: the only people making decisions. So Joe Biden decided he

299
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: wanted a flowery photo op for the anniversary of September eleventh.

300
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: He yanked all of our troops out, emptied the place overnight,

301
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: without doing it smartly at all. What happens The Afghan

302
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: forces that we had supposedly been training for years started

303
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: to collapse almost immediately. The Taliban were ready. Of course,

304
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: they were given a heads up that we were leaving.

305
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: The Taliban were ready, and they began to conquer region

306
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: after region immediately. Now the people of Afghanistan are intimately

307
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: familiar with how the Taliban operate and what they do.

308
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: The Taliban's barbarism is infamous. Everybody knows about it. The

309
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: way they treat women, the way they treat children. They're

310
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: big on the whole torture thing, execution. Chris, You people

311
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: don't fare very well there. Neither do Christians. By the way,

312
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: the Taliban are evil. They are the spawn of Satan,

313
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: and people begin to panic. Afghan people begin to panic,

314
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: and they start to flood towards whatever Americans are left

315
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: in the country, saying save us, get us out, because

316
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: they know a life of torture and death is imminent

317
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: for them. Get us out, save us please. So we

318
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: are treated as Afghanistan is falling, we are treated to

319
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: scenes that are rough, to put it mildly, a runway

320
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: full of panicked Afghanis crowding around Sea one thirties, in

321
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: some cases so panicked they're holding on to the landing

322
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: gear before plummeting to their death high above the runway.

323
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: It's an ugly, awful scene, very reminiscent of when we

324
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: were pulling our final troops out of Vietnam. The panicked

325
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: people of Vietnam, knowing what's going to happen when the

326
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: communist savages finally have control over everything, A level of

327
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: fear that I hope you will never know, and frankly,

328
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: I hope I will never know. They're scared to death.

329
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: Now now the Biden administration is scrambling. They're scrambling because well,

330
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: one everyone went on vacation. Everyone went on vacation, Joe Biden,

331
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: our Secretary of State, Anthony Blincoln, even the White House

332
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: Press Secretary. They left as Afghanistan was collapsing. Then the

333
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: outrage starts to pour in. Their phones are blowing up.

334
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: What are you doing? What is happening over there? And

335
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: they dragged Joe Biden out and this when he sat

336
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: down with noted communist propagandist George Stephanopolis. This was the

337
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: answer from the President of the United States of America

338
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: as people were dropping from C one thirty.

339
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 4: We've all seen the pictures.

340
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: We've seen those hundreds of people packed into a C seventeen.

341
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: We've seen Afghan's fall was four days ago.

342
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 4: Five days ago.

343
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: I was four or five days ago? Why are you

344
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: bringing up old stuff? Well, now here's what's happening inside

345
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: of the White House. Remember this was supposed to be

346
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: a flowery photo op. This was supposed to be a

347
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: great moment. Look at who pulled us out of Afghanistan.

348
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: Uh oh, the public's mad about something. What are we

349
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: going to do? They come up with the most kakamami

350
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: plan I've ever heard in my life. Pause for a

351
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: moment before we get to the plan, let me talk

352
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: about the detention center on Bogram Air Base. You see

353
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: the men we were holding there were some of the

354
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: most committed Jihadis on the planet. One of those men,

355
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: he was an ISIS guy. He had been previously captured

356
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: in India. He was in India getting ready to carry

357
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: out a terrorist attack in New Delhi. The Indians, by

358
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: the grace of God, found him first, grabbed him up,

359
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: deported him. We got our hands on him and threw

360
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: him in a cage in Bogram Air Base. When the

361
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: Biden administration abandoned Bagram Air Base, imagine the moment the

362
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: Taliban a walking through our air base and they come

363
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: across this detention place with a bunch of committed demons

364
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: who were willing to commit murder against Americans. They grabbed

365
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: the keys, open up the gates, and then there's a

366
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: me between isis between al Qaeda. They were part of this.

367
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: In fact, the bin Laden family is part of this.

368
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: Did you know this? Isis? Al Qaeda and the Taliban

369
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: had high level meetings about planning an attack. How do

370
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: we hurt these Americans? How do we blow up these troops?

371
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: Now back to our kocam Amy plan. Instead of an

372
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: air base which is very secure, and let me clarify

373
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: this for civilian types who may not understand why is

374
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: a military air base like Bogram secure but a civilian

375
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: airport is not secure. A military air base is surrounded

376
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: by walls, surrounded by towers, and in order to gain

377
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: entry to it, because we've learned over years and years

378
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: and years of dealing withchie hotties, to gain entry to it,

379
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: you don't just drive right up a road right up

380
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: to the gate and maybe you get a big truck

381
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: full of explosive and you blow through the gate or

382
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: blow up the gate or something like that. No, no, no, no, no, no,

383
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: no no, that's not how it works at all. You

384
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: have different barrier systems set up that force vehicles to

385
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: weave their way through gigantic concrete sandbag barriers. Can basically

386
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: you have prevented. You have prevented, for the most part,

387
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: any kind of a large suicide bomb attack that can

388
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: hurt a lot of personnel inside the air base. Maybe

389
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: you'll get the people guarding the gates. That certainly happens,

390
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: but for the most part, the base is secured. We've

391
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: learned how to avoid suicide tactics. But that has to

392
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: be done not just with troops, because troops, all of them,

393
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: even the toughest in the world, they're just flesh and blood.

394
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: It has to be done with hard infrastructure, walls, concrete, pillboxes, sandbags, towers.

395
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: This is how you protect yourself against gihatis, with suicide

396
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: vests and trucks full of ammonium nitrate. This is how

397
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: it is done, and that's what we had at Bagram.

398
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: But the geniuses in the Biden administration and the military

399
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: and the State Department and the intelligence community, we can't

400
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: let any of them off the hook. They just decided

401
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: to open up the whole freaking thing and give it

402
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: back to the Taliban. Now we have to go to

403
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: the airport, the regular old civilian airport. Let me ask

404
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: you something. Your airport, the airport in your community, how

405
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: secure is it? Oh no, no, don't get wrong. I

406
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: know there are metal detectors and things like that. But

407
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: what's surrounding the airport in your area? Now, this is

408
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: America in your area? At best, at best, there is

409
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: a chain link fence that is the ultimate security physically

410
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: keeping people out of your airport runway? Am I off?

411
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: Am I wrong about that? At all? At best, that's

412
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: what you have. Now we have legions of frightened people,

413
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: an airport that cannot possibly be properly secured, and we

414
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: send Marines, sailors and army soldiers into there to try

415
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: to sort through the mess. So the Biden administration doesn't

416
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: have the bad optics they had four or five days

417
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: ago when Afghani's were dropping from the sky. We sent

418
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: the troops in for optics, and we didn't give them

419
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: at all the infrastructure they needed to ensure the worst

420
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: couldn't happen. And while all this was going on, Taliban

421
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: isis al Qaeda operatives were meeting figuring out how to

422
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: kill our guys. We'll continue next The Jesse Kelly Show

423
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: I like it returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.

424
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: That's not old man music, Chris, that's good music. You

425
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't know anything about that at you gen Z Dark. Sorry,

426
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: I get upset with Jewish producer Chris sometimes when he

427
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: insults Motown. Who doesn't like Motown? Everybody likes Motown. You're crazy, Chris.

428
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: Back to what we were discussing. Don't distract me. We'll

429
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: get to other things, emails. I'll move office whenever I'm

430
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: done with it. I'm not in a hurry. We're talking

431
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: about what happened the fourth anniversary of Abby Gate. So

432
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: what did happen that day? First of all, don't think

433
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: for one single second that we didn't know there were

434
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: bad guys about, And don't think for a second that

435
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: we didn't identify the bad guy before he incinerated thirteen

436
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: of our troops with ball bearings. I'm gonna play a

437
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: couple things for you. United States Marine Corps sergeant I

438
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: believe he was stat. Sargant, Maybe was Sergeant Vargas Andrews.

439
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: He's describing the attack here.

440
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: It was about seventeen thirty stap Sergeant Darren Hoover, friend

441
00:29:59,760 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: and men.

442
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: By the way, this is a minute in forty two seconds.

443
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't think I will interrupt it, just out of

444
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: respect that if I have to clarify something, I may

445
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: interrupt it, but I want him to have his piece.

446
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: About seventeen thirty staff Sergeant Darren Hoover, friend and mentor

447
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: came to get me from the tower to go help

448
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: find an Afghan interpreter in the crowd. We found the

449
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: interpreter and his brother, born with American passports. They told

450
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: us five told us of five family members still in

451
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: the canal. I stayed there waiting for the family members,

452
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: standing against a two foot canal wall. Ten minutes past.

453
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: Then a flash and a massive way of pressure. I'm

454
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: throwing twelve feet onto the ground. I suddenly knew what

455
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: had happened. I opened my eyes to marines dead or

456
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: unconscious lying around me. A crowd of hundreds immediately vanished

457
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: in front of me, and my body was catastrophically wounded,

458
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: with one hundred, one hundred and fifty ball bearings now

459
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: in it. Almost immediately we started taking fire from the neighborhood,

460
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: and I saw how injured. I was with my right

461
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: arm completely shredded and unusable. I saw my lower abdomen

462
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: soaked in blood. I crawled backwards seven roughly seven feet,

463
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: because I thought I was still in harms away. My

464
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: body was overwhelmed from the trauma of the blast. My

465
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: abdomen had been ripped open. Every inch of my exposed

466
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: body except from my face to ball bearings shrapnel.

467
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: Now, who was said that had that bomb? And could

468
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: we have stopped it beforehand? Here he was?

469
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: I requested for the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Brad Whited,

470
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: to come to the tower to see what we did.

471
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 3: While we waited for him, psychological operations individuals came to

472
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: our tower immediately and confirmed the suspect met the suicide

473
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: bomber description. He eventually arrived and we showed him our evidence,

474
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: the photos we had of the two men. We reassured

475
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: him of the ease of fire on the suicide bomber. Pointedly,

476
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: we asked him for engagement authority and permission. We asked

477
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 3: him if we could shoot. Our battalion commander said, and

478
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: I quote, I don't know end quote. Myself and my

479
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: team leader asked very harshly well, who does, because this

480
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: is your responsibility, sir. He again replied he did not know,

481
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: but would find out. We received no update and never

482
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: got our answer. Eventually the individual disappeared. To this day,

483
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 3: we believe he was a suicide bomber. We made everyone

484
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: on the ground to where operations had briefly halted but

485
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 3: then started again, plain and simple, we were.

486
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: Ignored, ignored. Hey, sir, here's a suicide bomber. Can I shoot?

487
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: I don't know? Well? Could could you maybe find out?

488
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: Never gets back to his troops. This is another thing

489
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: We're not just going to dump all over the Biden administration,

490
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: which of course we are going to do. The military

491
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: leadership in this country is a disgrace. The rot has

492
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: been going on for years, in years and years, and

493
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: now our brave troops on the ground are oftentimes led

494
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: by the biggest bunch of scumbed, dork idiot losers in

495
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: the country. You see that uniform that says general admiral

496
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: in immediately your respect level goes up. I sneer because

497
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: I assume that's a dirtball politician wearing a military uniform

498
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: who would sell his troops up the river in a heartbeat.

499
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: If it meant one more star on his caller. That's

500
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: what I assume, and I'm correct about ninety nine percent

501
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: of the time in this country. How in the world,

502
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: as a battalion commander, how does a battalion commander look

503
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: at a Marine Corps scout sniper who had identified the

504
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: suicide bomber ahead of time and say, I don't know.

505
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. I had several battalion commanders

506
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: in my four years in the Marine Corps, and every

507
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: one of them, I guarantee you to a man would

508
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: have said kill him immediately, I'll deal with the aftermath. No,

509
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: go kill him, shoot him now. That's what I had

510
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: in two thousand to two thousand and four. By the

511
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: time twenty twenty came around, we get I don't know,

512
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: I'll find out, and never even makes a phone call

513
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: to come back, doesn't so much as get on the

514
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: radio and say lead says nothing. Pathetic. And after our

515
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: thirteen warriors died, the American people, hoping that maybe briefly

516
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: we had a commander in chief, waited for Joe Biden

517
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: to take the podium that night. Joe Biden took the

518
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: podium that night after having thrown away the lives of

519
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: thirteen brave warriors, and this is how it went.

520
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: Unattacked by a group known as isis K took the

521
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 4: lives of American service members standing guard at the airport

522
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 4: and wound it several others. Seriously, we have so much

523
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 4: to do within our capacity to do it. We just

524
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 4: have to remain steadfast, steadfast, playing John. They gave me

525
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 4: a list here. The first person I was instructed to

526
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 4: call on was Kelly O'donnald NBC.

527
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: They gave me a list here, the first person I

528
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: was instructed to call on. Now, why were the communist

529
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: animals in charge of the country, Why were they giving

530
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Joe Biden specific instructions on which reporter to call on,

531
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: Because even in the wake of the death of thirteen

532
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 1: brave souls, they were still just worried about optics, still

533
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: worried about poll members, still worried about approval ratings. We'll

534
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: wrap this up and play taps for the Fallen next
