<v Speaker 1>This is a Jesse Kelly Show, and then Jesse Kelly Show.

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's have some fun on a Tuesday, and it's going

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to be a different kind of a Tuesday. So strap

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 1>in and buckle up and let me tell you what

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>it's in store for you tonight on the world famous

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Kelly Show. First of all, I'm just gonna lay

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>out this warning right now. This first bit, maybe the

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>first hour, I don't know how long it's going to take.

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Me is going to be a little bit heavy. It

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>is the anniversary today of Abby Gate. It is weighing

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>heavy on my heart. I have a lot I want

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to say, trying to honor them, trying to condemn those responsible,

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and we are going to walk through that. I'm not

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>going to forget and I'm not going to let it go.

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk about that tonight, I know, because

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be heavy. We're all going to be

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a little way down in a little bit, you me, everybody.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna chop away at a bunch of really cool emails,

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>fun stuff, history stuff, all kinds of stuff afterwards, and

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>then we'll get onto some other news of the day.

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.559
<v Speaker 1>A couple little items here, little items there, Pam, Bonnie

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want you getting hammered on a boat this weekend.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>All that and so much more coming up on the

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Yeah, Pam, you know freedom

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>is not free quit anyway. We'll get to that in

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a little while, but let's first discuss military service sacrifice,

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>risking your life, losing your life on behalf of your

0:01:54.480 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 1>nation or tribe, whatever, wherever you happen to live. There

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>is an old, old old saying that war is old

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>men talking and young men dying. It's an old saying.

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>They pulled that saying out in the movie Troy. If

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that's where you heard that saying first, just know that's

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>an ancient proverb, much older than the movie Troy. Okay,

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>but I do think it's thousands of years old. War

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>is old men talking and young men dying. Now, that

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>is not as insulting as it always sounds. That's just

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the nature of how things are. As you get older,

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Lord willing, you get wiser, but your body isn't. It's

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>not what it used to be, and so you need

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to do more, the thinking, more, the decision making. When

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>you're young, not as wise yet, not because you're stupid.

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Or there's anything wrong with you. You just don't have

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>enough years under your belt yet, don't have enough experience.

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>You're not as wise maybe, but physically you are tip

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>top shape. And you as a young man and well

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>young women nowadays. Two as a young man, you have

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>those shoulders, legs, chests. You have that body in part

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>because you are made to defend things. Defend your home physically,

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>your woman, defend your town, your city, your country, and sometimes,

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>if you so choose, give up your life in service

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to your country. That's the way things are. Young Men

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 1>have fought in wars since time immemorial, and have died

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in wars since time began. That's the way it goes.

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I understand that, and then we explain every single person

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.119
<v Speaker 1>in uniform, especially frontline troops, they understand that, and they

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>understand that's part of the risk. Yes, if I sign up,

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I may die. But whether we're talking about a big

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>country or a small tribe, I have always in will

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>always believe that the country itself, the government itself, owes

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you two things. If you are one of the young

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>men or young women who will go die on behalf

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>of that country, your country owes you two things. One

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>your life that you're willing to give up for it

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>should not be thrown away, should not be disregarded as nothing.

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, look, they may order you to go do

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>something very very dangerous with the risk of death very

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>very high. Don't throw my life away like it's nothing.

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Don't throw the life of a young soldier away like

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.479
<v Speaker 1>it's nothing, because it's not nothing. That's a living, breathing

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>human being with parents, siblings, maybe a wife, children. Don't

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>take his willingness to sacrifice and abuse it and throw

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it away, throw it away with incompetence, with evil, with corruption.

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's one, don't throw the life away. And two,

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>if that young soldier does give up his life on

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>behalf of his country, honor him the old man who

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>did the talking, meaning the ones who gave the orders,

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the ones who planned it. Honor the one who gave

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>up his life. He deserves that. Society deserves to know

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>his name, His fellow soldiers deserve to see you honoring him.

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 1>His family deserves to see that honor in respect the

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>ones who gave up their lives. I don't think that's

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 1>asking a lot of any country or any tribe. Don't

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>throw the life away honor the sacrifice once it's been made.

0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>The reason I am opening up the show tonight talking

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>about Abby Gate, I'm going to try to remain quite calm.

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 1>If you listen to this show for a while, you'll

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>know that was the angriest I've ever been on the radio,

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>shouting into the microphone. I hate doing that. I don't

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>like doing angry radio. I'm going to try to stay

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>calm tonight. The reason I'm doing this tonight is both counts,

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>don't throw the life away and respect the sacrifice after

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>it's gone. On both counts, the Communists in the Biden administration,

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in the State Department, in the intelligence community, in the

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>military community failed those troops who gave up their lives.

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 1>The young woman, a bunch of young men gave up

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>their lives for this country, and their lives were thrown

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:53.039
<v Speaker 1>away by an evil, evil regime, by negligence by evil,

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and afterwards, in the aftermath of it, and to this day,

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>nothing has been done to properly honor them. I do.

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Before I go on the dark stuff, want to give

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a nice shout out to Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and JD. Vance who welcomed them into the White House

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>today honored them. Here was a little bit of Pete Hags.

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Half of this beautiful group on, behalf of these families,

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 2>on behalf of your loved ones who fought for our nation.

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 2>America deserves answers as far as what happened in Afghanistan.

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 2>The military needs to answer for what happened in Afghanistan.

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 2>So upon the President's direction, immediately we initiated an investigation

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>which showed that they're needed an even deeper dive. So

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Sean Parnell, or Pentagon spokesman, who himself is an Afghanistan veteran,

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>is leading this effort. It's a top priority for us.

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 2>We're getting access to all documents necessary, why decisions were made,

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 2>why they weren't made, why certain force protection measures were ignored. Again,

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 2>there's never been accountability for this. It's something that Joe

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Biden allowed to happen that never should have happened. Anybody

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>who any objective observer knows that's not how you leave

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>a country, and certainly these families know better than anyone else.

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 2>These families deserving.

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Sean Parnell was a good man. Sean Parnell will dig

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>down as deep as this hole goes and Sean Parnell

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>will get US answers and credit to the Trump administration

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>for digging into this. So let's recap what happened. Let's

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about it to hold people accountable, and let's talk

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>about it to honor those who gave up their lives.

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm telling you right now, at the end of

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>all of this, I'm going to read their thirteen names

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and we are going to play taps in their honor.

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 1>So Afghanistan, you know, we went there post nine to

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>eleven to track down Osama bin Laden. That was it

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 1>was a big CIA special operations. It was a big

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, tip of the Spear operation. There's great, great

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>material on that out there. Now we know Osama bin

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Lan was there, we know Afghanistan was really a hotbed

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>for Jihati activity, and it is, of course, and so

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>we went there to track down the man responsible for

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>bringing down the towers. But as is so often the case,

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have a clear mission. Part of the reason

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.839
<v Speaker 1>people fall in love with World War two is the

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>mission was so incredibly clear, and in a lot of ways,

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>it's really the last war we had where the mission

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 1>was clear. There that's Nazi Germany destroy them. Defeat them there,

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that's imperial to Japan. Destroy them, Defeat them, that's the goal.

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Unconditional surrender. You will be defeated. And that clarity we

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>find so refreshing, don't we, especially in the wake of

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 1>everything that happened after that Korea? What are we doing? Okay,

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>we ran them out of the south, but now we're

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>invading the north? Are we?

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing?

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Vietnam? We started on that. Poor guys over there talked

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>about it all. What's the mission? What are we doing?

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>What's the end goal? Iraq? Afghanistan? The lack of clarity

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>we know now we know courtesy of things like the

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Afghanistan papers, which is about the only decent thing the

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post has ever done. We know clear back to Rumsfeld.

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>They're sending memos to each other. I'm not sure what

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>the mission is now, can't find him. What are we

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>doing here? We'll continue on in a moment. Before we

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>continue on, speaking of Vietnam. Our Vietnam veterans are getting

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>older too. Do you have one in your life? Send

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 1>him a text, make a phone call, talk to him,

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>say thank you. Remember this is why I talked to

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you so often about pure talk Remember when I told

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you about mac Vie SAG and what they did in Vietnam,

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>dying in droves behind enemy lines. The bravest of the

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>break the missions are that they're like something out of

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the movies. There really are all of them. They're just

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>something out of the movies. The CEO of Pure Tuck

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 1>did two tours with mcve song. How do you end

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>up with a mobile company that has this kind of

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>patriotism handing out flags for independence? How does that happen? Well,

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>when your CEO was macv SAG, that's what you get.

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.959
<v Speaker 1>You can have the exact same phone service you have now,

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the same phone or a new one, same phone number.

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.080
<v Speaker 1>But you can pay less and patronize a company that

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>loves this country the way you do. How do you

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>do it? You pick up that cell phone, you dial

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Pound two five zero and you say Jesse Kelly Pound

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 1>two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly, we'll be back. Jesse

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Kelly returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on

0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful, fantastic Tuesday. You can email us Jesse at

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Jesse kellyshow dot com. And after I get done dragging

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you down memory lane talking about Abbygate Afghanistan. The four

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>year anniversary, we'll get to a bunch of those emails,

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe take a load off for a little bit, But

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>for now, we are going to discuss what happened. We're

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 1>going to discuss the sacrifice, the players to everything. We

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>are going to talk about this. We are not going

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to let it go. We are not going to forget Afghanistan.

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>We end up going in there after Osama bin Laden,

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:36.959
<v Speaker 1>but very very quickly the politicians and military leaders lose

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>sight of what we're actually doing. What are we doing here?

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Why are we here? What is the actual overall mission?

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, this unbelievably goes on for twenty years. I

0:12:54.280 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>still cannot believe that number. For twenty years, we had

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 1>our guys running around Afghanistan doing crazy things. Some missions

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>made sense, some missions did not. A lot of blood

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>was lost over there. Some things we would we'd go

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>put in a water well that was never used. Sometimes

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>we were told we weren't allowed to touch the poppy fields,

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the heroin fields. In fact, we had American troops guarding them.

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 1>We had a Green Beret assault an Afghani police chief

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>who was assaulting a young boy, very common practice in Afghanistan.

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 1>And the Green Beret got in trouble and what this

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>did just I'm giving it to you from somebody who

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>participated in the old g Watt. I was Iraq, not Afghanistan.

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:56.079
<v Speaker 1>And I'm telling you this disillusioned veterans like you cannot

0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>possibly imagine. We watched betrayal after betrayal after betrayal from

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>our political and military leaders, Republican and Democrat. The most

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I've told you this before, the most revealing moment of

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>my entire life was being in the Iraq invasion, fighting

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>our way through the country and being told one day

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>that the order came down that we had to put

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>away our American flags, telling a legion of young patriotic

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Marines that they had to hide their American flags. I

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know that I've ever seen the light go out

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>of so many young Marines eyes as I did that day.

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>But this is what happens when your country's led by

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of scumbags who don't love it, don't care

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>about anything but their own power, their own wealth. And

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 1>this went on for twenty years in places like Afghanistan. Now,

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>after twenty years, see Obama wanted out of Afghanistan at

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>least he said he did. Trump said he did too.

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Biden said, everybody kept saying they wanted out, but we

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 1>were not out because it's not easy to get out

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>when you've been in a place for twenty years. You

0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>have a military base, you have relationships, you have supply lines,

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you have all these things. And one of the things

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>we were doing for twenty years was supposedly building up

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the Afghan forces so they would be able to withstand

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the Taliban when we did leave. But here's a little

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>genius wrinkle, brought to you by America's military. We also

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 1>forced them to be reliant on us, meaning yeah, you'll

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>be able to fight off the Taliban as long as

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>we are here providing X, Y, and Z. We essentially

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 1>trained them to ride a bike with training wheels and

0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>then decided all at once to rip those training wheels away. Now,

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>let's discuss the decision itself to pull out the way

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden did, Because there is a way to egress

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>from a nation. There is a way to pull out.

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>It is not easy, but it is there is a way.

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>You have to do it carefully, slowly, one step at

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>a time. You essentially take one step at a time

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 1>backwards towards the door. You don't turn and run towards

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the door. You don't back up too fast or you'll fall.

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>You take one step at a time, just like you

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>see in the movies, backing out the door, slowly but surely.

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>But you see, that's not what the Biden administration wanted.

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Why why the big hurry? Why just pull everyone out,

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>turn around and run for the door. Oh, I'm glad

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:06.639
<v Speaker 1>you asked poll numbers, approval ratings. We were approaching the

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>anniversary of nine to eleven, the twentieth anniversary nine to eleven.

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>The Biden administration wanted a good talking point. They wanted

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>a good parade, a good flowery, fluffy military video to

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>put out. They wanted Joe Biden to look like the

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:33.360
<v Speaker 1>man who finally got us out of Afghanistan. So, against

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 1>all the advice in the world, they simply sent the

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:42.359
<v Speaker 1>memo out and said, hey, leave, Oh oh okay, when?

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh now, what do you mean now? Like right now?

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Leave everywhere? Yeah? Well, what about all the equipment we have?

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Leave it? Uh? What about the terrorists we're currently holding

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>ISIS terrorists currently holding being detained in Barga Mare Base.

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh I don't care. Leave for poll numbers, for approval ratings,

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 1>so they could send out a nice tweet. That's why

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>we left. We'll pick up the story from there in

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a moment. Before we pick up the story from there,

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:26.720
<v Speaker 1>what hurts physically on you? There's something, and if there's not,

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 1>there will be what hurts physically on you. It's weird

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.680
<v Speaker 1>how I find it fascinating how different bodies break down

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 1>in different ways. Maybe it's your foot, maybe it's my elbow,

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's your back, neck, my head. Different parts of

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>your body suffer from inflammation. As you get older, and

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>we lose this and lose that. Your body's still trying

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to fight it the same way it always did, but

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>now your body needs help. You don't have to give

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>up the things you love to do. You like to

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:04.439
<v Speaker 1>go play, pickleball, go off work, construction, woodworking. What do

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 1>you love to do that you gave up because it hurts.

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Don't give up the things that make your life better.

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.879

<v Speaker 1>be back.

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>True.

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 4>It's the Jesse Kelly Show.

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>It is the Jesse Kelly Show. On a Tuesday, a

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>wonderful Tuesday, as we walk through Afghanistan, Abbygate to pull

0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>out what happened, as we try to honor sacrifice, try

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to hold people accountable on the fourth anniversary of all

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.439
<v Speaker 1>of it. So Joe Biden because he wanted and I

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>know when I say Joe Biden as always, just know

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a placeholder. He didn't want anything. It was the dirty,

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 1>filthy communists who hate America all around him. That was

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the only people making decisions. So Joe Biden decided he

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted a flowery photo op for the anniversary of September eleventh.

0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 1>He yanked all of our troops out, emptied the place overnight,

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>without doing it smartly at all. What happens The Afghan

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>forces that we had supposedly been training for years started

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:44.399
<v Speaker 1>to collapse almost immediately. The Taliban were ready. Of course,

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>they were given a heads up that we were leaving.

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:50.360
<v Speaker 1>The Taliban were ready, and they began to conquer region

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>after region immediately. Now the people of Afghanistan are intimately

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.880
<v Speaker 1>familiar with how the Taliban operate and what they do.

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 1>The Taliban's barbarism is infamous. Everybody knows about it. The

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.200
<v Speaker 1>way they treat women, the way they treat children. They're

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>big on the whole torture thing, execution. Chris, You people

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 1>don't fare very well there. Neither do Christians. By the way,

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the Taliban are evil. They are the spawn of Satan,

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and people begin to panic. Afghan people begin to panic,

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and they start to flood towards whatever Americans are left

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 1>in the country, saying save us, get us out, because

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.520
<v Speaker 1>they know a life of torture and death is imminent

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:42.919
<v Speaker 1>for them. Get us out, save us please. So we

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 1>are treated as Afghanistan is falling, we are treated to

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>scenes that are rough, to put it mildly, a runway

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>full of panicked Afghanis crowding around Sea one thirties, in

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 1>some cases so panicked they're holding on to the landing

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 1>gear before plummeting to their death high above the runway.

0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:13.199
<v Speaker 1>It's an ugly, awful scene, very reminiscent of when we

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 1>were pulling our final troops out of Vietnam. The panicked

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 1>people of Vietnam, knowing what's going to happen when the

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 1>communist savages finally have control over everything, A level of

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.520
<v Speaker 1>fear that I hope you will never know, and frankly,

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope I will never know. They're scared to death.

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Now now the Biden administration is scrambling. They're scrambling because well,

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 1>one everyone went on vacation. Everyone went on vacation, Joe Biden,

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>our Secretary of State, Anthony Blincoln, even the White House

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Press Secretary. They left as Afghanistan was collapsing. Then the

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>outrage starts to pour in. Their phones are blowing up.

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.840
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing? What is happening over there? And

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 1>they dragged Joe Biden out and this when he sat

0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 1>down with noted communist propagandist George Stephanopolis. This was the

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>answer from the President of the United States of America

0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 1>as people were dropping from C one thirty.

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:21.399
<v Speaker 4>We've all seen the pictures.

0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>We've seen those hundreds of people packed into a C seventeen.

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:28.600
<v Speaker 1>We've seen Afghan's fall was four days ago.

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:29.960
<v Speaker 4>Five days ago.

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I was four or five days ago? Why are you

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 1>bringing up old stuff? Well, now here's what's happening inside

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of the White House. Remember this was supposed to be

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>a flowery photo op. This was supposed to be a

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:47.480
<v Speaker 1>great moment. Look at who pulled us out of Afghanistan.

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh oh, the public's mad about something. What are we

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>going to do? They come up with the most kakamami

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 1>plan I've ever heard in my life. Pause for a

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 1>moment before we get to the plan, let me talk

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>about the detention center on Bogram Air Base. You see

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.159
<v Speaker 1>the men we were holding there were some of the

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:14.880
<v Speaker 1>most committed Jihadis on the planet. One of those men,

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 1>he was an ISIS guy. He had been previously captured

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 1>in India. He was in India getting ready to carry

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 1>out a terrorist attack in New Delhi. The Indians, by

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the grace of God, found him first, grabbed him up,

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 1>deported him. We got our hands on him and threw

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>him in a cage in Bogram Air Base. When the

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration abandoned Bagram Air Base, imagine the moment the

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Taliban a walking through our air base and they come

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>across this detention place with a bunch of committed demons

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:55.359
<v Speaker 1>who were willing to commit murder against Americans. They grabbed

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the keys, open up the gates, and then there's a

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>me between isis between al Qaeda. They were part of this.

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:06.919
<v Speaker 1>In fact, the bin Laden family is part of this.

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you know this? Isis? Al Qaeda and the Taliban

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:16.439
<v Speaker 1>had high level meetings about planning an attack. How do

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 1>we hurt these Americans? How do we blow up these troops?

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Now back to our kocam Amy plan. Instead of an

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:27.880
<v Speaker 1>air base which is very secure, and let me clarify

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:31.159
<v Speaker 1>this for civilian types who may not understand why is

0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a military air base like Bogram secure but a civilian

0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 1>airport is not secure. A military air base is surrounded

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 1>by walls, surrounded by towers, and in order to gain

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>entry to it, because we've learned over years and years

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and years of dealing withchie hotties, to gain entry to it,

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't just drive right up a road right up

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 1>to the gate and maybe you get a big truck

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:01.199
<v Speaker 1>full of explosive and you blow through the gate or

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>blow up the gate or something like that. No, no, no, no, no, no,

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:05.760
<v Speaker 1>no no, that's not how it works at all. You

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>have different barrier systems set up that force vehicles to

0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>weave their way through gigantic concrete sandbag barriers. Can basically

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you have prevented. You have prevented, for the most part,

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 1>any kind of a large suicide bomb attack that can

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 1>hurt a lot of personnel inside the air base. Maybe

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you'll get the people guarding the gates. That certainly happens,

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>but for the most part, the base is secured. We've

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:37.679
<v Speaker 1>learned how to avoid suicide tactics. But that has to

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>be done not just with troops, because troops, all of them,

0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:43.720
<v Speaker 1>even the toughest in the world, they're just flesh and blood.

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 1>It has to be done with hard infrastructure, walls, concrete, pillboxes, sandbags, towers.

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:55.480
<v Speaker 1>This is how you protect yourself against gihatis, with suicide

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 1>vests and trucks full of ammonium nitrate. This is how

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 1>it is done, and that's what we had at Bagram.

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>But the geniuses in the Biden administration and the military

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and the State Department and the intelligence community, we can't

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 1>let any of them off the hook. They just decided

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to open up the whole freaking thing and give it

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>back to the Taliban. Now we have to go to

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the airport, the regular old civilian airport. Let me ask

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you something. Your airport, the airport in your community, how

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:32.399
<v Speaker 1>secure is it? Oh no, no, don't get wrong. I

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>know there are metal detectors and things like that. But

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>what's surrounding the airport in your area? Now, this is

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:43.679
<v Speaker 1>America in your area? At best, at best, there is

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a chain link fence that is the ultimate security physically

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:50.720
<v Speaker 1>keeping people out of your airport runway? Am I off?

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Am I wrong about that? At all? At best, that's

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>what you have. Now we have legions of frightened people,

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:06.800
<v Speaker 1>an airport that cannot possibly be properly secured, and we

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 1>send Marines, sailors and army soldiers into there to try

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to sort through the mess. So the Biden administration doesn't

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>have the bad optics they had four or five days

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:27.359
<v Speaker 1>ago when Afghani's were dropping from the sky. We sent

0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the troops in for optics, and we didn't give them

0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 1>at all the infrastructure they needed to ensure the worst

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 1>couldn't happen. And while all this was going on, Taliban

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>isis al Qaeda operatives were meeting figuring out how to

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>kill our guys. We'll continue next The Jesse Kelly Show

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I like it returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 1>That's not old man music, Chris, that's good music. You

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't know anything about that at you gen Z Dark. Sorry,

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I get upset with Jewish producer Chris sometimes when he

0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 1>insults Motown. Who doesn't like Motown? Everybody likes Motown. You're crazy, Chris.

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Back to what we were discussing. Don't distract me. We'll

0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:16.040
<v Speaker 1>get to other things, emails. I'll move office whenever I'm

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 1>done with it. I'm not in a hurry. We're talking

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 1>about what happened the fourth anniversary of Abby Gate. So

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 1>what did happen that day? First of all, don't think

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 1>for one single second that we didn't know there were

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>bad guys about, And don't think for a second that

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 1>we didn't identify the bad guy before he incinerated thirteen

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 1>of our troops with ball bearings. I'm gonna play a

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 1>couple things for you. United States Marine Corps sergeant I

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>believe he was stat. Sargant, Maybe was Sergeant Vargas Andrews.

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 1>He's describing the attack here.

0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:59.720
<v Speaker 3>It was about seventeen thirty stap Sergeant Darren Hoover, friend

0:29:59.760 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 3>and men.

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 1>By the way, this is a minute in forty two seconds.

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I will interrupt it, just out of

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>respect that if I have to clarify something, I may

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:12.880
<v Speaker 1>interrupt it, but I want him to have his piece.

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 3>About seventeen thirty staff Sergeant Darren Hoover, friend and mentor

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:24.920
<v Speaker 3>came to get me from the tower to go help

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 3>find an Afghan interpreter in the crowd. We found the

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 3>interpreter and his brother, born with American passports. They told

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 3>us five told us of five family members still in

0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 3>the canal. I stayed there waiting for the family members,

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 3>standing against a two foot canal wall. Ten minutes past.

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Then a flash and a massive way of pressure. I'm

0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 3>throwing twelve feet onto the ground. I suddenly knew what

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.560
<v Speaker 3>had happened. I opened my eyes to marines dead or

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 3>unconscious lying around me. A crowd of hundreds immediately vanished

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 3>in front of me, and my body was catastrophically wounded,

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 3>with one hundred, one hundred and fifty ball bearings now

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 3>in it. Almost immediately we started taking fire from the neighborhood,

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 3>and I saw how injured. I was with my right

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 3>arm completely shredded and unusable. I saw my lower abdomen

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 3>soaked in blood. I crawled backwards seven roughly seven feet,

0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 3>because I thought I was still in harms away. My

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:49.720
<v Speaker 3>body was overwhelmed from the trauma of the blast. My

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 3>abdomen had been ripped open. Every inch of my exposed

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:55.800
<v Speaker 3>body except from my face to ball bearings shrapnel.

0:31:57.720 --> 0:32:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Now, who was said that had that bomb? And could

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.400
<v Speaker 1>we have stopped it beforehand? Here he was?

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 3>I requested for the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Brad Whited,

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 3>to come to the tower to see what we did.

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.480
<v Speaker 3>While we waited for him, psychological operations individuals came to

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:19.280
<v Speaker 3>our tower immediately and confirmed the suspect met the suicide

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 3>bomber description. He eventually arrived and we showed him our evidence,

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 3>the photos we had of the two men. We reassured

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 3>him of the ease of fire on the suicide bomber. Pointedly,

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 3>we asked him for engagement authority and permission. We asked

0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 3>him if we could shoot. Our battalion commander said, and

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 3>I quote, I don't know end quote. Myself and my

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 3>team leader asked very harshly well, who does, because this

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 3>is your responsibility, sir. He again replied he did not know,

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 3>but would find out. We received no update and never

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 3>got our answer. Eventually the individual disappeared. To this day,

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:51.240
<v Speaker 3>we believe he was a suicide bomber. We made everyone

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:54.280
<v Speaker 3>on the ground to where operations had briefly halted but

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:56.280
<v Speaker 3>then started again, plain and simple, we were.

0:32:56.160 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Ignored, ignored. Hey, sir, here's a suicide bomber. Can I shoot?

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know? Well? Could could you maybe find out?

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Never gets back to his troops. This is another thing

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 1>We're not just going to dump all over the Biden administration,

0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 1>which of course we are going to do. The military

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:27.520
<v Speaker 1>leadership in this country is a disgrace. The rot has

0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 1>been going on for years, in years and years, and

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 1>now our brave troops on the ground are oftentimes led

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 1>by the biggest bunch of scumbed, dork idiot losers in

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the country. You see that uniform that says general admiral

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 1>in immediately your respect level goes up. I sneer because

0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I assume that's a dirtball politician wearing a military uniform

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 1>who would sell his troops up the river in a heartbeat.

0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 1>If it meant one more star on his caller. That's

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 1>what I assume, and I'm correct about ninety nine percent

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:11.880
<v Speaker 1>of the time in this country. How in the world,

0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:17.759
<v Speaker 1>as a battalion commander, how does a battalion commander look

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:21.799
<v Speaker 1>at a Marine Corps scout sniper who had identified the

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 1>suicide bomber ahead of time and say, I don't know.

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you right now. I had several battalion commanders

0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:32.320
<v Speaker 1>in my four years in the Marine Corps, and every

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 1>one of them, I guarantee you to a man would

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 1>have said kill him immediately, I'll deal with the aftermath. No,

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>go kill him, shoot him now. That's what I had

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand to two thousand and four. By the

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:50.279
<v Speaker 1>time twenty twenty came around, we get I don't know,

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:54.839
<v Speaker 1>I'll find out, and never even makes a phone call

0:34:54.920 --> 0:34:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to come back, doesn't so much as get on the

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:07.640
<v Speaker 1>radio and say lead says nothing. Pathetic. And after our

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 1>thirteen warriors died, the American people, hoping that maybe briefly

0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>we had a commander in chief, waited for Joe Biden

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:22.640
<v Speaker 1>to take the podium that night. Joe Biden took the

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:27.880
<v Speaker 1>podium that night after having thrown away the lives of

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:31.320
<v Speaker 1>thirteen brave warriors, and this is how it went.

0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Unattacked by a group known as isis K took the

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 4>lives of American service members standing guard at the airport

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 4>and wound it several others. Seriously, we have so much

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:53.960
<v Speaker 4>to do within our capacity to do it. We just

0:35:54.000 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 4>have to remain steadfast, steadfast, playing John. They gave me

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 4>a list here. The first person I was instructed to

0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 4>call on was Kelly O'donnald NBC.

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:14.799
<v Speaker 1>They gave me a list here, the first person I

0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:19.840
<v Speaker 1>was instructed to call on. Now, why were the communist

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:23.440
<v Speaker 1>animals in charge of the country, Why were they giving

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden specific instructions on which reporter to call on,

0:36:28.800 --> 0:36:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Because even in the wake of the death of thirteen

0:36:31.680 --> 0:36:36.959
<v Speaker 1>brave souls, they were still just worried about optics, still

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 1>worried about poll members, still worried about approval ratings. We'll

0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:45.760
<v Speaker 1>wrap this up and play taps for the Fallen next
