1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,159 Speaker 1: All right, news roundup and information overload on a Friday, 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one Sean, if you want 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. I am still 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: in a state of utter anger, shock, and dismay at 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: all of the absolute lies told by Biden at his 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: statement four or five question press conference of even want 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: to call it that this is Biden. We haven't heard 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: of anybody, you know, not being able to get to 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: the airport. We have secured the airport, we haven't secured 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: the perimeter, Joe. We haven't heard of any cases at 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: all of people not being able to make it to 12 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 1: the airport. Well, that's the exact opposite of what your 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: state department is sending out to people Americans in Afghanistan 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: about we can't help you get to the airport. Oh 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: and the airport gates may open or close without notice. 16 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Oh and use your best judgment about going, and we 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: cannot ensure your safe passage. That's what they're telling him 18 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: on the other side of this. You know, we've played 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: the questions earlier, but Biden just didn't complete and we've 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: not heard of any case of anybody not being able 21 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: to get to the airport. A complete and utter lie, 22 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: with all the videotape evidence to prove it. Listen, the 23 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: military has secured the airport, as you mentioned, but will 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: you sign off on sending US troops into Cobble to 25 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: evacuate Americans who haven't been able to get to the 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: airports safely. We have no indication that they haven't been 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: able to get in Cobble through the airport. We've made 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: an agreement with the Taliban. Thus far they've allowed them 29 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: to go through. It's and they're interested to go through. 30 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: So we know of no circumstance where American citizens are 31 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: carrying an American passport for trying to get through to 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: the airport. But we will do whatever needs to be 33 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: done to see to it they get to the airport. 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: We will see whatever needs to be done. Meaning there's 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: no control. We have control of the airport, but we 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: don't have control of one road to get to the airport, 37 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: not one that is controlled by the Taliban. And they 38 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: said they're going to a lot of Americans, would passports through. 39 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Any American that wants to come home, we will get 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: you home. I want you to hear me. Now. I 41 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: can't promise any outcome on all of this I mean, 42 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: he's contradicting himself all over the place. We made clear 43 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: to the Taliban that if they get in the way 44 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: and in any way, there was going to be a 45 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: forceful response. No, there's not, Joe, because they've got fifteen 46 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: thousand Americans they'll use as human shields and hostages. Joe, 47 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: they're terrorists. No indication of any people having difficulties getting 48 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: to the airport. Well, the Taliban secures the perimeter, and 49 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: there's tons of personal stories, images on the ground that 50 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: contradict everything he's saying. You know, it's unbelievable, no question. 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: I've not heard anything about our credibility being in any 52 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: way that we've been criticized from from anyone around the world. Nobody. 53 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: They don't have any partners. They've all been highly critical, 54 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: and this is the mess that they left. We bring 55 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: in Jason Chaffitz, Fox News contributor now a distinguished Fellow 56 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: at the Government Accountability Institute, and Peter Schweitzer, the President 57 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: of the Government Accountability Institute, host of drilldown dot com, 58 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: which by the way, is extremely successful. You know, originally 59 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: we had them booked for today to talk specifically about 60 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: the twenty year War and this crushing defeat, and you 61 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: know everything else in between, and the idea that the 62 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: President of the United States is lying about the situation 63 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: on the ground. But more importantly, Jason Chaffintz, I'll start 64 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: with you. Well, I guess I probably should start with Peter, 65 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: considering as your boss, but I'll start with you. But 66 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: in all seriousness, they've had days they saw an advancing 67 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: Taliban take over ten twenty thirty forty fifty percent of 68 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: the country and record time this was happening. They had 69 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: all the time to prepare for extracting every American, the 70 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: sixty to seventy five thousand estimated afghanis that if they're 71 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: left behind that will be killed. They did nothing. Now 72 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: it's completely out of our hands. The control, the fate 73 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: of our fellow Americans and our allies is in the 74 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: hands of the Taliban. With the reports they go on 75 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: door to door to identify any Afghani who supported and 76 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: helped and assisted America in any way in the last 77 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: twenty years, and then they're brutally murdering them right on 78 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: the streets for the world to see. So it's not 79 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: exactly as Joe portrayed. Today. We have no leverage at 80 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: all because he gave that up. He did. We have 81 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: the biggest baddist military on the face of the planet. 82 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: We have an intelligence community that has satellite imagery and 83 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: technology that nobody else has. But Joe Biden and Kamala 84 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: Harris made a conscious decision months ago to do it 85 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: this way. And remember they're on tape, they're on audio. Thing. Yeah, 86 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: we have planned for every contingency. This chaos was built 87 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: into the plan that we had put forward. But somehow 88 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: the brilliant mind that is Joe Biden Kamalaris decided that 89 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: they were going to close the Bagram Air Force Space, 90 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: where we did have total control of the airspace and 91 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: the ability to move airplanes in and out. They gave 92 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: that up to protect without extracting the Americans, the diplomats, 93 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: the foreign service operators, the contractors, Americans with passports. We 94 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: gave all that up to go do something else, and 95 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: now we've got to rely on the Taliban. I have 96 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: been to that Kabbal Airport. I have flown in and 97 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: out of it. It took a convoy, a literally of 98 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: army in an m wraps to get me in and 99 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: out of it. It is exceptionally dangerous and there is 100 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: no way that Donald Trump would have allowed this to happen. 101 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: There is no way that that would be done under 102 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: a different administration, except they made a conscious decision shot 103 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: to allow the Taliban to be in control of the 104 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: fate of Americans who are doing America's bidding in Afghana stass. 105 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: It was a conditions based on the ground agreement, but 106 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: it was started with a phone call with the leader 107 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: of the Taliban and President Trump himself as part of 108 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: the deal that he had that Biden never followed up on. 109 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: And by the way, to get out before the quote 110 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: war seasons, as war historically is more likely this time 111 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: a year, which is why Trump had a much earlier 112 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: date for a drawdown withdrawal, but again based on conditions 113 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: on the ground, but also backed by this threat. And 114 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: I've talked to now numerous sources that were on the 115 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: call that hurt it and that before we discuss anything, 116 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: President Trump said, you saw what I did to the 117 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Caliphate and Syria, did you not? Yes? Okay, that will 118 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: be nothing, if nothing, compared to if you do not 119 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: abide by every comma and period in any agreement we 120 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: might make that I will blow you into an entirely 121 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: new century. Do you understand me? Apparently those words were 122 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: spoken by Donald Trump. He got back in affirmative. We 123 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: didn't lose an American in Afghanistan for almost eighteen months, 124 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: the last eighteen months of Trump's presidency, they weren't on 125 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: the march or on the move because they feared and 126 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: believed Donald Trump would do everything that he said. That 127 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: fear no longer exists. Clearly, well, is this is piece 128 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: through strength. The example to me is Ronald Reagan. Some 129 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: of the most peaceful times we have were with Ronald 130 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: Reagan because he knew he had the biggest bat as 131 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: military wasn't afraid of firing on it. And Donald Trump 132 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: took exactly the same philosophy. Is there any doubt in 133 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: anybody's mind that if somebody did something to even one 134 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: American that Donald Trump wouldn't send every single asset in 135 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: there to go take him out. Compare that too, Joe 136 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris, and you got to include Barack 137 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: Obama who had some of these people in DITMO and 138 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: let him get back out on the back on the 139 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: battlefield when big guys he was happy, no assets were 140 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: sent in, and does anybody believe that Joe Biden would 141 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: actually pull the trigger. He didn't even want to go 142 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: after Osama bin Laden for goodness sake. Peter Schweitzer, your reaction, Yeah, 143 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree exactly with what Jason said. But 144 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, Sean, if you look over the span of 145 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: American history, I mean, we've had situations before where we've 146 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: had American presidents, let's say, who were detached, who were 147 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: not completely there. You think of Woodrow Wilson, you think 148 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: of Lbjum. But at least in those circumstances, we had 149 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: people around the president who had the capacity, the knowledge, 150 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: and the will to do the right thing, to to 151 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: sort of carry out and protect American interests. What's troubling 152 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: right now is you have Joe Biden who is detached, 153 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: either because because of age and because of a health 154 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: condition that he has, or he's simply lying to the 155 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: American people. But there's no question he's detached from sort 156 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: of the reality on the ground. But the people around him. 157 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: The Vice president is not involved in any way. And 158 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: you look at the Secretary of State, the Secretary Defense, 159 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor, you get the same kind of 160 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: detachment So this is this is a very troubling situation 161 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: that I would say is somewhat unique in American history 162 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: because nobody seems to be wanting to step up and 163 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: actually fix the problem in the situation that we're in. 164 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: And as Jason said, and as you mentioned, Sean, look, 165 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: the world watches these events. You know. It is a 166 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: global society in the sense that if something happens in Afghanistan, 167 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: people in Beijing, China are aware of what's going on. 168 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: And weakness breeds aggression. And we have seen nothing from 169 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden on the international stage except for weakness since 170 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: he became president. Well, I mean the fact that we 171 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: saw them on the march, Peter, we watched them, We 172 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: witnessed this, We've seen this coming for weeks. You know, 173 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: at what point didn't anybody in our national security apparatus, 174 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: intelligence apparatus, those around the president warned him. Now we're 175 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: discovering that apparently the Pentagon did warn him, that intelligence 176 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: agencies did warn him, the State Department did warn him. 177 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: And now of the question is why didn't he take 178 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: their advice and admonition. Seriously, do you have any answer 179 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: to that, because I can't figure it out. No, it's 180 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: hard to figure out. You know what I like to 181 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: sean is imagine if you have a natural disaster like 182 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: an earthquake, an earthquake happens, suddenly nobody's prepared. You're kind 183 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: of in reaction mode. This was the equivalence of in 184 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, we signed the peace agreement with the Taliban. 185 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: This is basically saying three years from now, on this date, 186 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: there may be an earthquake, and Joe Biden extended actually 187 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: the withdrawal that the Joe that Donald Trump had scheduled 188 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: for the spring. So the point is there's basically been 189 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: three years of preparation, meaning the bureaucracies. But you have 190 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: a new administration that comes in, they've got eight months. 191 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: They've got eight months to prepare for an earthquake that 192 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: the State Department, in some of the cables, we now 193 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: know the Defense Intelligence Agency in twenty twenty was warning 194 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: about this. We know that the CIA was concerned about it. 195 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: They were all warning about this earthquake that was going 196 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: to engulf the withdrawal of American force of Afghanistan, and 197 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: nobody prepared for it. Nobody secured anything. And it is 198 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: precisely the sort of terrible response from leadership, and that 199 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: is very, very hard to recover from because remember Sean, 200 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden said two things to the world. He said, 201 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: first of all, well, you know, Donald Trump is unpredictable. 202 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to be the adult in the room. I'm 203 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: the guy that knows what he's doing. The second thing 204 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: that he said was, I'm going to be the one 205 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: that that has better relations with our allies than Donald 206 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: trumpet They're going to respect me more. Both of those 207 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: things were never true. They are now both definitely not 208 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: true because it's been demonstrated that the Emperor has no clothes, 209 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden does not have a competency to run 210 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: the free world, and he has lost the respective allies 211 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: that really had been built up in the Trump administration 212 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: and has now basically completely gone. From The Wall Street Journal, 213 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: Jason Chaffitz about two dozen State Department officials serving at 214 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: the embassy in Cobbles sent an internal memo to Secretary 215 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: of State Blincoln Anthony Anthony Blincoln and another and other 216 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,239 Speaker 1: top State Department officials last month warning of the potential 217 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: collapse of Cobble. Now this was sent on July thirteenth, 218 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: that is five weeks ago that the Taliban was rapidly 219 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: gaining round and the city was vulnerable to collapse. They 220 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: didn't listen, they didn't pair, they didn't act, and this 221 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: is now the result. Basically, Americans held hostage, their lives 222 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: hanging in the balance on the whim of the feelings 223 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: of a terrorist organization. Yet the warnings couldn't be any 224 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: more clear, damning evidence the Biden administration was warned by 225 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: its own officials of this disaster coming. I think we're 226 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: going to continue to see more of that. I think 227 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: you're going to see State Department cables. I think you're 228 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: going to see intelligence reports that continue to stream out 229 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: to show that the Taliban was gaining strength, there was movement, 230 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: and just the very basics of what a leader should 231 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: have been doing in securing the Americans that had passports 232 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: and getting them out. I just I'm absolutely stunned that 233 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: we would close our air Force base there at Bagram. 234 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: I've flown in and out of Bagram. I've flown in 235 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: and out of the cobble A Carzi Airport. I have 236 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: been to all of those places, and I'm going to 237 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: tell you one was secure, at least the security you 238 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: could get it. The other one not so much, and 239 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: they saw this march happening. But this is exactly the time, 240 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: if you match it up, that Joe Biden was going 241 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: out answering questions saying, oh the likelihood, oh near zero, 242 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: this isn't going to happen. We plan for every contingency. 243 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: They have this huge, massive security force in Afghanistan. Anybody 244 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: who's been to Afghanistan knows that, with all due respect, 245 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: most of those people were illiterate. And yet somehow we 246 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,239 Speaker 1: left tens of billions of dollars of American assets, military equipment, 247 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: all back in the hands of terrorists. Were worse off 248 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: now than we were before we went in to take 249 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: out the terrorist threat. And if you look at the 250 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: way Joe get if we get them out, I'm just 251 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: a short on time. But if we do get them out, Jason, 252 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: it's not going to be because anything that Joe Biden 253 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: and his administration did. It'll be in spite of it, 254 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: but it will be basically the terms will beated completely 255 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: by the Taliban. And to put Americans in that that 256 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: situation is just unforgivable, a dereliction of duty that at 257 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: a level I can't even imagine that we're even talking 258 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: about Thank you both. Peter Schweitzer. Jason Chaffitt's eight hundred 259 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: nine four one Sean is on number one of a 260 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: lot more on all of this tonight on Hannity. Well, 261 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: I forgot to bring this up twenty five till the 262 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: top of the hour eight hundred nine four one Sean. 263 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: I got to tip my hat to the British military. 264 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: They sent in paratroopers to save British citizens successfully, and 265 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: they even helped step up and helped evacuate some American 266 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: citizens left behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. Of course, following 267 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: this disastrous non plan of Joe Biden missing every single 268 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: sign in warning, it was in writing. They were told 269 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: in writing, specifically that cobble is going to fall. Five 270 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: weeks ago, they were told by over two dozen diplomats 271 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: what was going on around the country, which, by the way, 272 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: you could have looked at the news and just watched 273 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: the map on a daily basis and see how much 274 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: ground and territory the Taliban was gaining. And this great, 275 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, well trained army, one of the best trained 276 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: in the world, Army of Afghanistan with three hundred thousand 277 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: military fighters that even have an air force some of 278 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: the best trained in the world, that we're going to 279 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: be easily be easy for them to defeat the Taliban. Oh, 280 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know they were going to collapse. They were 281 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: collapsing weeks ago. The Taliban was advancing for weeks and 282 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: nobody you know, well, the people on the ground had 283 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: the urgency. The more than two dozen or so State 284 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: Department officials there memo, you know, serving in the embassy 285 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: at Cobble. They sent it to the Secretary of State. 286 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: I assume he he had to share that with Joe Biden, right, 287 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: just have to have assumed that because you know, they 288 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: send this memo, and five weeks ago, July the thirteenth, 289 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: the Taliban is rapidly gaining ground and the city of 290 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: Cobble is vulnerable to collapse. That was five weeks ago. 291 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: This is right after Joe Biden had said it's highly 292 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: unlikely the Taliban would take control of Afghanistan, that we're 293 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: already taken control of almost the rest of the country. 294 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: I mean, is it is unbelievable. It is a tragedy 295 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: of It is by far the biggest strategic military, foreign 296 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: policy disaster we've ever had. Now every American life is 297 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: in the hands of the Taliban. Well, I see no 298 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: signs at all, Joe Biden saying, see any indication We've 299 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: not seen. Have you seen any indication, no indication whatsoever 300 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: that you know. No, we've secured the airport. We have 301 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: full full We've secured the entire airport. It's secure. Six 302 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: thousand troops on the ground, we have six thousand on 303 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: The problem is the Tallepan's secured the perimeter around the airport, 304 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: and they are deciding who does and does not get 305 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: to go to Kabble Airport. And then even when you 306 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: get there, it's nothing but utter chaos that has ensued 307 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: where even Taliban fighters are firing tear gas to disperse 308 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: crowds at the airport. Unbelievable successfully got out New York Times, 309 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: Washington Post, Wall Street Journal reporters. I'm glad. I mean 310 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: that with all sincerity. But we have what, according to Joe, 311 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand. We don't even have an exact number. I 312 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: want every American that wants to know that if you 313 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: want to come home, we'll get you home. But look, 314 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: I can't really promise any outcome. It's you know, very 315 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: very different. One of the most difficult challenges ever in history, 316 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: created by you self inflicted by you. Never mind the 317 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: sixty to seventy five thousand estimated Afghanis that will be identified. 318 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: They will be murdered. The Taliban's already going door to 319 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: door identifying anybody that may have or did work with Americans. 320 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: Apparently they got ahold of a cash of intelligence that 321 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: has their names on it. They're walking dead in Afghanistan. 322 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: How will we ever get them out? We promised them 323 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: we'd get them out. The interpreters and others assisting our 324 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: military for long periods in some cases, one guy that 325 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: actually said I spent a third of my life. But 326 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: this guy was on TV with me last night. This 327 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: guy by the name of Saber, I won't mention his 328 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: last name, said I spent a third of my life. 329 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: My family stuck over there. We were promised that you 330 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: would get us out if this moment ever came. All right, 331 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: let's get to our phones. On this Friday. I know 332 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: a lot of you want to weigh in. Let's say Hi, 333 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: it's Georgia's in North Carolina. Hey Georgia, how are you? 334 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: I would say Happy Friday, but I'm not exactly happy. 335 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm not in the best mood today, and neither as 336 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: anybody I know. Hello, Sean, thank you so much for 337 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: taking my call. I'll just get right to it. After 338 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, I started sending military care packages, and 339 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: through those projects I met the most amazing men and 340 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: women in our military. As you know, Sean, More often 341 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: than not, these military men and women would not just 342 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: we're not asking for things for themselves. They would tell 343 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: me about their humanitarian missions, the villages that they were adopting, 344 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: the refugee camps that they were sending supplies to, the 345 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: schools they were building, most of which were accepting girls 346 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: for the very very first time, and so of course 347 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: it was wonderful sending supplies to these things. One of 348 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: my favorite stories is a vendor at an FOB told 349 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: my military contact that he had a group of developmentally 350 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: delayed children that was a very underserved population and at 351 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: that time, and they built a school for this developmentally 352 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: delayed children and asked the school supplies. It's one of 353 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: my favorite Those pictures are some of my favorites, Sean. 354 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: After last weekend, it took me a while, but I 355 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: got those. I have large scrap books that are just 356 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: filled with I'm sorry, I am little emotional, but that 357 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: are just filled with letter after letter and pictures, oh, 358 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: the pictures and the certificates of appreciation from all kinds 359 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: of organizations that say things like your humanitarian efforts have 360 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: greatly improved the quality of life that the people of 361 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: Afghanistan and the future of their nation. That last part 362 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: skilled me. So I've had trouble reconciling the countless stories 363 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: of heroism and selflessness and the relationships with what I'm 364 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: seeing on the news, and it's been gut wrenching. But 365 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: you know what, Sean, I will not be defeated in 366 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: thinking that this is a waste. And here's why. No 367 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: act of kindness, no act of bravery, and no act 368 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: of integrity is ever wasted. Even if something evil on 369 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: this world wipe out our effort, the kindness and the 370 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: courage are forever. And so if I can just make 371 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: three points before I let you go, um. First, of 372 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: all listeners out there, if you know anyone it was 373 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: involved in Afghanistan, please reach out to them because they're 374 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: not feeling okay. And if I'm as affected for my 375 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: small part, I cannot even imagine the pain of a veteran, 376 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: a disabled veteran, or a gold star family um in 377 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: second I touched on it a little earlier. But I 378 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: know without a doubt that there is more kindness in 379 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: this world than there is evil. Now, evil's deceit. We'll 380 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: try to condense us that it's too much, it's too overwhelming. 381 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: Your little bit won't matter. You're a little bit, didn't matter. 382 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: What you did didn't count. You know, why do you 383 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: even try? Don't believe it, don't be fooled, don't be defeated. 384 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: And I don't know what has become of those villages. 385 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 1: And it's the schools and the medical centers or the recipients. 386 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: You're not gonna like it. I don't even need to 387 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: tell you because you already know the answer. But the 388 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: effort and the kindness it meant some thing then, and 389 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: it means something now. And well, I gotta let me 390 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: just say this to you. I I'm listening to you 391 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: when I hear the passion and emotion behind these words 392 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: of yours, and they're resonating. Trust me, people are hearing you. 393 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: But the reality is is we lost. The reality is 394 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: that we botched the withdrawal. The reality is This is 395 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: what happens when you have a weak, frail cognitive mess 396 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: as a president of the United States. Is this is 397 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: when the left wing and their lies and their spin 398 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: is so so easily proven false that it's a lay 399 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: up in terms of, oh, let me, let me debunk 400 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: this lie and that lie. But that doesn't advance the cause, 401 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: the immediate concern, which is getting Americans home. And then 402 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: that would mean getting those that we know will be 403 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: killed if we leave them behind home, are out of there, 404 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: get the hell out of there. But that doesn't do 405 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 1: anything for the situation for the people that will remain, 406 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: which is the majority of people, and that's women and children. 407 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: Their lives ever transformed the school, they will no longer 408 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: be in school, I promise you by the time this 409 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: is all said and done, the Taliban has not changed. 410 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: And the last thing I'll say is this, Linda and 411 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: I were talking about this off air today, is that 412 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: what it must take for a mother to go to 413 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: the British embassy, go to an embassy, a high wall 414 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: on top of the wall, a lot of razor wire, 415 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: and to take an infant child and throw that child 416 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: over the razor wire to a British soldier in the 417 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: hopes that that child will be taken away from you forever, 418 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: but at least have a chance at a life that 419 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: pretty much speaks volumes. You might say, well, Hannity, that's cruel. 420 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: Who would ever take a baby because they realize and 421 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: recognize that which we may not understand. Life for women 422 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: is it will be over now. In Afghanistan, they were 423 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: turned back to the Stone Age where they were twenty 424 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: years ago. It's like Barney Rubble and fled Fred Flintstone 425 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: and Dino the dinosaur. And I'm not saying this to 426 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: be clever, but it is. Women were not allowed to 427 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: go to school, they were not allowed to go to work. 428 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: Only certain medical care was offered, not most women were 429 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: taken routinely raped, They were taken as child brides. That's all. 430 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: That's all coming back now, we'll have plenty of time 431 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: to discuss the ramifications of what is going on for 432 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: the people that will remain there that you tried to 433 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: very very generously help. But I don't have any I 434 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: don't I don't even have a sliver of hope I 435 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: can offer you. I'm not gonna lie to you know, 436 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: it's not you know, there's a reason those those mothers 437 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: terribly discouraging, terrible. Even though the efforts seems to have 438 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: been wiped away, the effort mattered, the courage mattered. The 439 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: kindness matter whenever you whenever you put kindness into the world, 440 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: even if, even if what you did gets wiped away, 441 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: the kindness is forever. It mattered then and it mattered now. Um. 442 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: But it is very discouraging. It took me. It took 443 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: me a very long time before I could go upstairs 444 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: where I keep my scrap books and bring those down. 445 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't even face it. I spent eighteen years sending packages. 446 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thousands and thousands, and the relationships with 447 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: the with the military men and women, I wonder how 448 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: they're doing if I am this upset, and I am 449 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: very upset. I sent packages. I didn't send my daughter. 450 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: I didn't send my son. I didn't leave my legs 451 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: or my UM, you know, my my PTFD, my psyche. 452 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: I sent packages. And I am so affected and discouraged, 453 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: and I was actually battling depression this week over it, um. 454 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: And that's why I want this message to a night, 455 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: loud and clear to anybody who did anything in this effort. 456 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Like you said, Sean, it was defeated, but the effort mattered. 457 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: The effort mattered. You never you never go wrong. And 458 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: in my view in life, when you try to do 459 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: the right thing and you try to assist innocent, good 460 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: people and the innocent among us, they're the ones that 461 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: will suffer. Our prayers are with all of them, Georgia, 462 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: and we could only now hope for the best, but 463 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: I would say, brace yourself for the worst. Appreciate you 464 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: check it in with us. Eight hundred and nine one 465 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: shuns our number. Christina is in Ohio. Hey, Christina, how 466 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: are you? Hey, Sean, how are you? Oh? Good? Thank you. 467 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm mad. I am so mad. If this happened under 468 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: Trump's presidency, him and his whole administration, they would have 469 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: been yelling in the streets and wanting his head on 470 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: a platter. Instead, we have Pelosi saying how brave he 471 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: was and how this is like so valiant of him. 472 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: We have people that are dying. We're putting our military 473 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: up in front of these cameras all over the world, 474 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: showing weakness like never before. I mean, when we're asked 475 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: how many Americans are over there, and they don't know 476 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: when we are saying, hey, the British and the French 477 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: are paratrooping in and getting their people out. How come 478 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: we can't do that? Oh no, no, no, we can't 479 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: do that. We don't have the We can't we don't 480 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: have the capabilities of doing that. How can we be 481 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: doing this when we're asked our military whether or not 482 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: they're buying gas from the Taliban and they can't give 483 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: you a straight answer. That's sad the day that we 484 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 1: what is this world coming tip? Instead, we are now 485 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: pulling our president out of his ice cream socials on 486 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: vacation to up eat us sometimes and beat us lines 487 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: of vs. He was more worried about his administration looking 488 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: good to the wolf population that we have. I've got 489 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: to run. But I'm hearing you loud and clear, I 490 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: really am. And it's it is sad everything that you're saying. 491 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: And yet China is already prepared to recognize the Islamic 492 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: Emirate of Afghanistan because they want all the natural resources. 493 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine four one Sean. We'll continue Hannity 494 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: Tonight at nine. All right, that's gonna wrap things up 495 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: for today.
