It is people coming into this country 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 4: that were unvetted from Afghanistan and other nations, including a 64 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 4: wide open border where people on the Terraces watch lists 65 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 4: were allowed to come in under the Biden administration.

They're now saying the President is being 69 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 4: a racist for saying exactly what needed to be said, 70 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: that there's a real national security threat in this country 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: that was allowed in here because a lack of vetting 72 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: by our government. I want to go back to the 73 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: terror attack, and I want to remind you that four 74 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 4: years ago, we knew that the Biden administration was lacking 75 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 4: a vetting process of Afghan nationals that were inviting in essence, 76 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 4: terrorists to come into our country. 77 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: That did actually happen. 78 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 4: We knew it was a problem, and we knew the 79 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 4: administration was lying about it. We also know Anthony Blincoln 80 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 4: at the time confirmed that child brides had been evacuated 81 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 4: with older men from Afghanistan into the United States of America, 82 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: yet again showing that there was a lack of vetting 83 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: of the people that were allowed to come into America. 84 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 4: I want you to listen to Tony Blinkin confirming child 85 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 4: bribes that were evacuated with older men from Afghanistan, and 86 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: we let it happen in this country. We didn't stop. 87 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: We didn't we asked questions, and we did not vet them. 88 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 5: But I want to ask you flat out, did the 89 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 5: State Department give the Taliban a list or multiple list 90 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: of Americans and or Afghans that we wanted. 91 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 6: Out those reports and the idea that we would do 92 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 6: anything to endanger our citizens or anyone else at a 93 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 6: time when we were trying to save their lives is 94 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 6: flat out wrong. 95 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 7: Let me just like a yes or no? Did you 96 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 7: give them? 97 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 6: Let me get Let me be very clear, a senator, 98 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 6: if I may please thank you. In limited instances where 99 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 6: we were seeking to get a bus or a group 100 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 6: of people through a checkpoint, we gave a manifest to 101 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 6: the people at the checkpoint to demonstrate that those people were. 102 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 7: Expectedly say how many names were on the list you gave. 103 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 6: It doesn't matter because they. 104 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 5: All dozens, hundreds, thousands, give us some order of magnitude. 105 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 5: This happened in a handful of situations where two dozens. 106 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 5: So is it your testimony? It wasn't hundreds. I want 107 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 5: to understand. Did you give them thousands of names? 108 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: No? 109 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 5: We did not, Okay, hundreds, not going to put a 110 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 5: number on it, but was again, why not? This is 111 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 5: a hearing to discover how many names and how many 112 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 5: of those individuals you gave the Taliban the name to 113 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 5: have been targeted for torture or murder. 114 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: Senator. 115 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 6: By definition, these were in limited instances with a bus 116 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 6: or a group of people to get them through a checkpoint. 117 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 6: They got through the checkpoint. 118 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 5: So not only did you fail to evacuate Americans and 119 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 5: Green card holders who were there, but you also brought 120 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 5: in tens of thousands of Afghans who had wholly inadequate vetting, 121 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 5: bringing many of them to the United States. And one 122 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 5: of the things that has done is that has brought 123 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 5: in a humanitarian crisis to America. Child marriage and domestic abuse, 124 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: tragically are widespread in Afghanistan. According to the World Health Organization, 125 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 5: more than half of the women in Afghanistan are married 126 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 5: as child brides and ninety percent of women are subject 127 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 5: to domestic abuse ninety percent. On August twenty seventh, according 128 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 5: to public reports, attributed internal documentation highlighting numerous instances and 129 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 5: intake centers of sexual abuse in which much older grown 130 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 5: Afghan males appeared with children. Young children claimed they were 131 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 5: their brides, claimed they were their wives, and the document 132 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 5: said the State Department urgently requested guidance. That was your word, 133 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 5: urgently Subsequently, Department of Homeland Security said that it showed 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 5: the desperation of families that they were willing to give 135 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 5: little girls to grown men to be subject to sexual 136 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 5: abuse and child wives. My question is as follows, did 137 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 5: you receive that urgent guidance? How many children have been 138 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 5: subject to sexual abuse? What have you done to rescue 139 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,119 Speaker 5: young children from illegal and abusive relationships after being brought 140 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 5: to America by the State Department? 141 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 6: Across the entire government, everyone involved in the evacuation effort, 142 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 6: whether it's at a transit point UH in one of 143 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 6: the countries that we negotiated with, whether it's here in 144 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 6: the United States at Dulles or Philadelphia or the military bases, 145 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 6: we have all of our officers at extreme vigilance to 146 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 6: look for UH and to deal with any cases or 147 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 6: concerns that he's. 148 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 7: The urgent guidance. And how many child guides have you seen? 149 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 6: I don't know the specific guidance you're referring to. I'm 150 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 6: happy to look to look at it. 151 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 7: So is there not urgency to discover it was abuse? 152 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 6: Could we could detect and deal with at any cases? 153 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 6: And there have been to my knowledge a limited number 154 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 6: of cases where we have separated people because we were 155 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 6: concerned that they were How many are the cases, I'm 156 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 6: aware of a handful. 157 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 4: So this was a disaster that was predictable. This is 158 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 4: a disaster that is still unfolding because we don't know 159 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 4: how many people are actually in this country that should 160 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 4: have never been here, which brings me to the Trump administration. 161 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 4: They're having to clean up a massive national security threat, 162 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 4: which brings me to Attorney General Pam Bondi. She said 163 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 4: on this week's broadcast the Fox News Sunday that the 164 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: suspected shooter of the two National Guard troops in d 165 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: C not only should have never been in this country, 166 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 4: but host Martha McCollums said, quote, let's start with the 167 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 4: question of vetting. The Washington Post reported this counter terrorism 168 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: officials did that the Guard shooting suspect before he entered 169 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 4: the US. One of the individuals they talked to said 170 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: the suspect was vetted years ago before working with the 171 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 4: CIA in Afghanistan, and then again before he arrived in 172 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 4: the US in twenty twenty one. Those examinations involved both 173 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 4: the National counter Terrorism Center as well as the CIA. 174 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: So where are we in the tracking the path of 175 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 4: the suspect. What was something that was missed in the 176 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 4: vetting process or was he possibly once he got here. Now, 177 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 4: listen closely to what Pam Bondi the AG said in response. 178 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 4: She said, quote, so, first, the one that you talked 179 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 4: about that happened days before the Thanksgiving shooting, that one 180 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 4: he was he had been through Operation Allies Welcome program, 181 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 4: minimal to little vetting. I was on the phone last 182 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 4: night with Secretary Christynome at length. They did not do biometrics, 183 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 4: they did not do social media. Now they're clearly referring 184 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 4: to the quote vetting process under the Biden administration, which 185 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 4: even when they claim they vetted people, it wasn't very 186 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 4: good or even real even. 187 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: Close to what you should have done. 188 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 4: Back to her comments, they did very little, if minimal, 189 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 4: vetting on all of these people. And now, to take 190 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 4: a step back, we have one point five million backlog 191 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 4: of people that have come into our country, and as 192 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 4: you said, these people being radicalized. We know that this 193 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: shooter who shot her National guardsmen in DC the day 194 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 4: before Thanksgiving, he was radicalized. 195 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: You're going to hear a lot more about that. 196 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 4: And these people should have never been in our country 197 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 4: under Joe Biden, he opened our borders. Of course MS 198 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 4: thirteen TDA members twenty minutes from where you are right now, Shannon, 199 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 4: we caught one of the worst MS thirteen members in 200 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 4: the country, of the whole Eastern Seaboard top members, because 201 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: Joe Biden let him walk into our country. So you 202 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 4: may hear a narrative by the left that this guy 203 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 4: was vetted and so something happened after the vetting was 204 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: done the right way. What we're actually learning is that 205 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 4: the vetting was a joke, that it was barely a 206 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 4: check your box type of vetting. It certainly was not 207 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 4: a vetting to keep us safe. And now this administration 208 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,599 Speaker 4: is going to have to unwind and look back. It 209 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 4: countless people that were led into this country that should 210 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: have never been here in the first place. 211 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 212 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
