1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Stubborn, old, senile, and angry. Those are the words that 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: I can use to describe Joe Biden in his ABC 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: News exclusive one on one interview that he did with 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: George Stepanopolis, a democratic operative that was going easy on 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: the president, and even with George Stepanopolis going easy on him, 6 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden fell apart in this interview. As the Afghanistan 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: crisis has worsened, How bad is it? Mothers and fathers 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: are now handing their children over bob ware fences at 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: the airport, trying to at least give their kids a 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: chance at life because they know that they are more 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: than likely going to die. And if you want to 12 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: know what's happening in Afghanistan right now, it's a money grab. 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: The Taliban are now in control of one trillion dollars 14 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: worth of minerals that the world desperately wants and needs. 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Insert China and Russia. This swift fall of Afghanistan, we're 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: now being told, was undermined by Possibly and Russia, which 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: has triggered this humanitarian crisis. Those two countries already working 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: deals to get into Afghanistan's vastly untapped mineral wealth. They 19 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: say it could transform the economic prospects of the Taliban 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: to be able to not only just have money, but 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: money that they've never even imagined to then use towards terrorism. Afghanistan, 22 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: as you know, is one of the poorest nations in 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: the world, but in twenty ten, US military and geologists 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: revealed that the country, which lies at the crossroads of 25 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: Central and South Asia, was sending on a mineral deposits 26 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: worth nearly a trillion dollars. What minerals are they and 27 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: why are they so important to Russia and China? And 28 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: that's why their embassies are wide open and they're working 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: these deals. Supplies of minerals such as iron, copper, and 30 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: gold are scattered across provinces. They are also rare earth minerals, 31 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: and perhaps most importantly, that could be one of the 32 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: world's biggest deposits of lithium. That's why China is sitting 33 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: there begging to do a deal. Lithium is an essential 34 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: but scarce component in rechargeable batteries that China desperately needs, 35 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: as well as other technologies vital to tackling what some 36 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: refer to as the climate crisis. Afghanistan is certainly one 37 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: of the richest regions and traditional precious metals, but also 38 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: the metals needed for the emerging economy of the twenty 39 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: first century. And that's why China is stepping in as 40 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: America leaves. Security challenges may not be an issue if 41 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: all the money is going to the Taliban, something we 42 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: were not going to guarantee, which is part of the 43 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: reason why these minerals went untapped over the last twenty years. 44 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: A lack of infrastructure not a problem. China says they'll 45 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: build it. Severe droughts not a problem. China says they'll 46 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: do whatever it takes, and they will do the deal 47 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: with the Taliban, not with the Afghanistan government which has 48 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: now fallen. This will all change sooner than later, we're 49 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: being told under Taliban control because they realize how much 50 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: money they can get their hands on. That is exactly 51 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: why they've been meeting apparently around the clock with China, 52 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: as what was even Pakistan and India, which may engage 53 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: despite the chaos because the money is just so big. 54 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: So now you understand the politics of what is happening 55 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: on the ground there now. Joe Biden has been busted lying. 56 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone cares at least in the media 57 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: because Biden boldfaced lied to George Stepanopolis in this interview 58 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: saying that quote, military advisors did not warn him against withdrawing, 59 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: and he said, no, no one, No one said to 60 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: me that I can quote recall that we shouldn't withdraw 61 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: this way. When he was asked about the people falling 62 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: from the planes, he said that was four or five 63 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: days ago, acting like, what difference does it make to 64 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: quote Hillary Clinton? Who cares? That's old news? That was 65 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: days ago, days ago. It was actually two days ago 66 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: when he was asked the question, but who's counting, right? 67 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: And for all the woke feminists that voted for Joe 68 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: Biden right because he was gonna stand up for women's 69 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: rights in equal pay and LGBTQ and all that. Well, 70 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: he was asked about the women who are now going 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: to be executed, who are going to be put into 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: sex slavery, who are going to not be allowed to 73 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: walk around the streets, who are going to be not 74 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: allowed to go to school. He was asked about that 75 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: and what happened in Afghanistan. Here's his response to ABC 76 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: News and Americans, what do we owe the Afghans who 77 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: are left behind? Particularly Afghan women who are facing the 78 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: prospect of subjugation. Again, as many as we can get out, 79 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: we should. For example, I had a meeting today for 80 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: a couple hours in the situation room just below here. 81 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: There are Afghan women outside the gate. I told him, 82 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: get him on the planes, get them out, get them out, 83 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: get their families out if you can. But here's the 84 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: deal with George. The idea that we're able to deal 85 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: with the rights of women around the world by military 86 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: force is not rational. Not rational. Look what's happened to 87 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: the Wagers and Western China. Look what's happening in other 88 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: parts of the world. Look what's happening in the Congo. 89 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of places where women 90 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: are being subjugated. The way to deal with that is 91 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: not with the military invasion. The way to do with 92 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: that is putting economic, diplomatic, and international pressure on them 93 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: to change their behavior. Translation, America now doesn't care. America 94 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: is weak. Let them on the planes. The problem is 95 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: they're not letting them through the gates. The problem is 96 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: that Taliban is beating people going the airport. The problem 97 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: is people are being kidnapped going to the airport. Hell, 98 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: even CNN's own reporters are being attacked by the ends 99 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: of ak forty seven gun butts as they're walking down 100 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: the street. People are begging to get out of the country. 101 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: Taliban are killing women for not wearing burkers on the 102 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: same day they vowed to honor women's rights. Go look 103 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: at the New York Post today they put the picture 104 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: up the Taliban has killed a woman for not wearing 105 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: a burker on the same day they vowed women's rights. 106 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: And this present says, well, we're just going to punt 107 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: to the international community and we'll figure it out that way. 108 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: They shot and killed a woman for not wearing a 109 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: burker in Afghanistan. The same day they pledged that we 110 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: are a new inclusive air of the Taliban and we 111 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: honor the women's rights. This photo emerged of the woman 112 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: in Takhar Province lying in a pool of blood, loved 113 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: ones crouched around her after she was killed by insurgents 114 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: for being in public without a head scarf. This is 115 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: the Taliban. We're also being told there's not enough headscarves 116 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: for women. And if you look at the satellite pictures 117 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: that are coming out and the pictures that are coming 118 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan and Kandahar. Right now, you can't find 119 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: women on the street anywhere. They're all now stuck in 120 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: their homes. Many of them, by the way, are widowed 121 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: because their husbands died fighting in Afghanistan. So how do 122 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: they get to the store, Because you're supposed to be 123 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: walked around by a family member, and if you don't, 124 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: they'll beat the hell out of you or kill your 125 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: shoot you in the face. But don't worry. Joe Biden's 126 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: gliding telling you military advisors warned him against withdrawing, saying no, no, 127 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: no one said that to me. They're all saying that's 128 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: a lie. They're all saying that is a lie. I mean, 129 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: even George Stepanopolis wasn't believing what Joe Biden was selling him. 130 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: In this interview, he pressed him on whether the US 131 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: exit from Afghanistan could have been handled better, and Joe 132 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: Biden got irritated, and what he described is basically, there 133 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 1: was no way for this not to be total chaos. 134 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: There was no way to plan for people to get 135 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan. There was no way for us to 136 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: do a better job, which the entire world knows is 137 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 1: total insanity. Yet he said it with a straight angry face. 138 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: Take a listen, look at what's happened over the last week. 139 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: Was it a failure of intelligence, planning, execution or judgment. Look, 140 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it was a Look it was a 141 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: simple choice, George, when the Taliban. Let me back put 142 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: it another way, when you had the government of Afghanistan, 143 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: the leader of that government, getting into a plane and 144 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: taking off and going another country. When you saw the 145 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: significant collapse of the of the Afghan troops, we had trained, 146 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: up to three hundred thousand of them, just leaving their 147 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: equipment and taking off, that was you know, I'm not 148 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: that's what happened. That's simply what happened. But we've all 149 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: seen the pictures. We've seen those hundreds of people packed 150 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: into a C seventeen. We've seen Afghans fall. That was 151 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: four days ago, five days ago. Who did you think 152 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: when you first saw those pictures? What I thought was, 153 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: we have to gain control of this. We have to 154 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: move this more quickly. We have to move in a 155 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: way in which we can take control of that airport, 156 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: and we did so. You don't think this could have 157 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: been handled this sex? It could have been handled better 158 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: in any way, no mistakes. No, I don't think it 159 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: could have been handled in a way that we're going 160 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: to go back in hindsight and look. But the idea 161 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: that somehow there's a way to have gotten out without 162 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens. I don't 163 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: know how that happened. So for you, that was always 164 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: priced into the decision. Yes, he's not just defiant, he's 165 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: angry in his defiance. Which is delusional to say that 166 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: we couldn't have done any better than we could have 167 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: done when everybody was telling him to do it differently, 168 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: when everybody in the military is saying we could do 169 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: a better job. I mean, the Pentagon right now is saying, oh, well, 170 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: we're working to fill every seat on each plane. No, 171 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: you're not. If you were, you would be telling the 172 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: Taliban we're gonna blow you up if you don't give 173 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: our people a safe passage to the airport, which is 174 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: not what you're saying and are doing right now. You know, 175 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden even said it's quote not true that my 176 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: military advisors warned me against withdrawing. Even ABC News, Good 177 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: Morning America, George Stepanopolis couldn't spend this for this deranged 178 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: president of United States America that clearly cannot handle his 179 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: job and his duties right now. Even when they introduced 180 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: the segment, they basically knew that he had cooked his 181 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: own goose, that it was too far gone almost to 182 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: try to even explain his decisions away because it was 183 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: so out of touch with reality. It's the US troop 184 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan, and George, we know you pressed the 185 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: president on the aftermath of that withdrawal, those frantic scenes 186 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: at the Kabble Airport, thousands of Americans and Afghans desperate 187 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: to escape as the Taliban tightens its grip. That's right, Amy, 188 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: and the President promised for the first time that the 189 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: US military would stay as long as it takes to 190 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: get all Americans out. He was also defiant, assisting we 191 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: had to get out now, admitting no mistakes. Back in July, 192 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: you said a Taliban takeover was highly unlikely. Was the 193 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: intelligence wrong or did you downplay it? There was no consensus. 194 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: You go back and look at the intelligence reports, they 195 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: said that it's more likely to be sometime by the 196 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: end of the year. You didn't put a timeline out 197 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: when you said it was highly unlike you just said 198 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: flat out as highly unlikely the Taliban would take over. Yeah, well, 199 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: the question was whether or not the idea that the 200 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: Taliban would take over premised on the notion that somehow 201 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: the three hundred thousand troops we had trained and equipped 202 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: was going to just collapse. They We're going to give up. 203 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody anticipated that. Senator mcconagall said it 204 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: was predictable the Taliban was going to take over. Well 205 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: by the end of the year, it said that that 206 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: was the real possibility, but no one said it was 207 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: going to take over then when it was being asked, 208 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: when you look at what's happened over the last week, 209 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: was it a failure of intelligence, planning, execution or judgment. Look, 210 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't think it was a Look it was a 211 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: simple choice, George, when the Taliban let me back. And 212 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: put it another way, when you had the government of Afghanistan, 213 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: the leader of that government getting into plane and taking 214 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: off and going another country. When you saw the significant 215 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: collapse of the Afghan troops we had trained to three 216 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: hundred thousand of them just leaving their equipment and taking off, 217 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: that was you know, I'm not this is that that's 218 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: what happened. That's simply what happened. So the question was 219 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: in the beginning, the threshold question was do we commit 220 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: to leave within the time frame was set. We extended 221 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: it to September first, or do we put significantly more 222 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: troops in I hear people say, well, you had twenty 223 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: five hundred folks in there and nothing was happening. You know, 224 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: there wasn't any war. But guess what the fact was 225 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: that the reason it wasn't happening is the last president 226 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: negotiated a year earlier. By the way I love it. There, 227 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: there we go blame Trump and this idea that he's 228 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: trying to get a bail out here saying why I 229 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: inherited this mess? Right? I inherited this policy. If that's true, 230 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: then then explain why you got rid of the Keystone pipeline. 231 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: Which pipeline which is a policy that you inherited. You 232 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: inherited a secure border and you did the opposite of 233 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: that policy, So explain that logic away. You inherited a 234 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: president that actually gave a crap about American citizens and 235 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: made sure they weren't harmed by the Taliban. You change 236 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: that policy. You inherited a policy of a present that 237 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: was tough on China. You got rid of that one. 238 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: You inherited energy independence, you got rid of that one. 239 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: So this idea that you were somehow stuck to a 240 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: policy of the other guy. So therefore it's really somehow 241 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: jedi mind trick. His fault is insanity. It is total insanity. 242 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: Now this present. By the way, new reports revealed the 243 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: victim who clung to the US evac plane and fell 244 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: from the sky was actually a child. And the response 245 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,599 Speaker 1: from this president should shake every single one of you 246 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: to its core. His response was that was four or 247 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: five days ago. In other words, move on, get over it, 248 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: get over it, you know. He also tried to Jedi 249 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: mind triggers on something else, saying, well, the Taliban is 250 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: facing an existential threat. They aren't. They're not acting like it. Bro, 251 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: They are certainly not acting like it. But Joe Biden 252 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: sitting there trying to convince you that this is somehow 253 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault because you inherited a policy. But every 254 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: other policy of Trump's that you inherited, you undid that 255 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: he'd be out by May first, and that the return 256 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: there'd be no attack on American forces that's what was done. 257 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: That's why I know that was happening. But the idea 258 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: if I had said I had a simple choice, if 259 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: I had said we're going to stay, then we better 260 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: be premire to put a whole hell of a lot 261 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: more troops in Your top military advisers warned against was 262 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: drawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about. 263 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: They didn't. It was split. That wasn't true. Again, he 264 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: just lied to you. He just lied to you. What 265 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: you're hearing right now is a lie. This is one 266 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: of the biggest lies he told in this interview. And 267 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: if George Stepanopolis, in my opinion, had any any integrity 268 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: as a journalist, he would say exactly that. He would say, 269 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: this is a lie. Let's let's really think about where 270 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: we are. You have a Taliban flag flying over the 271 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: US embassy. You have fifteen thousand American prisoners in a 272 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: terrorist state. You have civilians flying off American plains to 273 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: their death. Now we note they also include children. The 274 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: terrorist regime is armed with billions of dollars in US weapons. 275 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: You're now seeing mass murder in these streets. Al kata 276 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: anaisis now embolden and have a country and a trillion 277 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: dollars worth of assets to fund themselves with making deals 278 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: with Russians and Chinese, and Biden says this was his 279 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: plan and his response to people flying the plan that 280 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: was like four or five days ago. I mean, you 281 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: think about how messed up the Democrats are right now. 282 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: We've actually gone from defunding the police to arming terrorists. 283 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Defunding the police to arming terrorists. Think about that. You 284 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: look at these highlights from Biden's interview quote, did not 285 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: recall being warned by US military to not push ahead 286 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: with his plan, did not know US had troops in 287 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: Syria that was in the interview, did not know certain 288 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: events in Kabble happened this week because he was on 289 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: vacation and did not know people were getting killed. You 290 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: seeing a pattern here. This guy clearly cannot handle what 291 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: is happening. And Biden flatly denied reporting that he was 292 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: advised to keep two thousand, five hundred troops in Afghanistan, 293 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: and his own intelligence community is now throwing him under 294 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: the bus for that lie in this interview. The Pentagon 295 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: right now has just come out just showing how stupid 296 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: this decision was to pull out of Afghanistan the way 297 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: that we did, and they have now said, after being 298 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: browbeat by reporters that yes, we can confirm that we 299 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: do not know how many Americans are left in Afghanistan. 300 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: We don't know. So the President Nited States America said 301 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: he did it perfect, did it right? Do it again, 302 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: refuses to back down and say he's screwed up or 303 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: made a mistake. And you have a Pentagon now atmitting 304 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: we have no idea how many Americans are there. We 305 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: have no idea how many Americans could be held hostage. 306 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: We have no idea how many of them could become 307 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: propaganda for the Taliban. What we do know is the 308 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: Taliban is intensifying their hunt for Afghans who work for 309 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: the US and uk IS. They are now going door 310 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: to door threatening relatives. United Nations is reporting this now 311 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: and they're like not conservative folks. They are now reporting 312 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: and warning. Despite the terror groups claims of amnesty for 313 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: these people, the Jehattas are going door to door threatening 314 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: families of those who have gone into hiding. The UN 315 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: papers now warned the militants are resting and killing relatives. 316 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: They are also stopping others trying to leave from the 317 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: area around the Couple airport. Are going to the airport 318 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: their reports of officials who have been shot dead after 319 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: surrendering to the Taliban. They are intensifying their hunt for 320 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: people who worked with the UK, US and NATO forces 321 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. This is coming from the UN. Of course, 322 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a confidential report internally within the UN. 323 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: It's been leaked, thank goodness. Jihadis are going door to 324 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: door killing relatives of civil servants, interpreters and other counselors staff, 325 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: while other militants are even stopping people outside the Couple airport. 326 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: Despite the Taliband's claim of amnesty, the UN says new 327 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: video today shows fighters sprang Sprang assault rifle bullets just 328 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: yards away from women and children gathered at the airport's perimeter. 329 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: The UN dassier leak to the New York Times says 330 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: the Taliban arresting and or killing or arresting family members 331 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: of targeted individuals unless they surrender themselves the Taliban, and 332 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: then when they surrender, they're being killed. Yeah, that's a 333 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: letter dated three days ago. Just so you know. This letter. 334 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: It contained a letter dated August the sixteenth from the 335 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: Taliban to senior counter terrorism official in Afghanistan who had 336 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: worked alongside the US and British officials. The letter ordered 337 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: the man to report to the Military Intelligence Commission of 338 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: the Islamic State of Afghanistan and Kabul. If he failed 339 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: to do so, it warned that his family will be 340 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: treated based on Sharia law, meaning they'll all be murdered. 341 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: The senior Afghan official told The Telegraph they've been forcing 342 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: a deep hiding to avoid the martyring fighters who they 343 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: suspect of gain access to government employee databases. Earlier this week, 344 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: former British army officials told the same paper that hundreds 345 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: of elite Afghan soldiers had gone into hiding and we're 346 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: trying to flee the country because they're now on the 347 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: kill list and when they find them, they behead them 348 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: and cut their arms off in torture them in the streets. 349 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Let's go back to Joe Biden real quick. Joe Biden says, 350 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: I did this perfectly. There's nothing that could have gone 351 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: wrong differently here. This was going to happen anyway, and 352 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: I did it right now. He's also been caught in 353 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: a major lyne George Stepanopolis asked him a question. I'm 354 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: going to play this audio for you, but I want 355 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: to read you the transcript first so you know exactly 356 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: what to listen for. Here, Biden flatly denies reporting that 357 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: he was advised to keep two thousand, five hundred troops 358 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. I'm going to read you George Stepanopolis's words 359 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: so you understand what he said. He said, but your 360 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: top military advisors had warned against withdrawing on this timeline. 361 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: They wanted you to keep about two thousand and five 362 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: hundred troops. Biden interrupts, No, they didn't. It was split 363 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: that that wasn't true. That wasn't true, Biden stumbles. Stephanopolis, 364 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: they didn't tell you that you wanted troops, that they 365 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: wanted troops to stay. Question Mark Biden. No, no, no, 366 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 1: not not in terms of whether we were going to 367 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: get out in a time frame, all troops. They didn't 368 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: argue against that, Stephanopolis, he knows he's right. By the way, 369 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: Stephen Anopolis knows, everybody in the inteligin community was leaking 370 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: and telling them. We told Biden not to do this, 371 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: We told him to leave troops. So no one told you, 372 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: by Stepanopolis says, your military advisors did not tell you, no, 373 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: we should just keep two thousand and five hundred troops. 374 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: It's been a stable situation for last several years. We 375 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: can do that, We can continue to do that question 376 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: Mark Biden even more angry. No, no one said that 377 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: to me that I can recall. He knows he's busted. Look, George, 378 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: the reason why it's been stable for a year is 379 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: that because the last present said we're leaving. And here's 380 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: the deal I want to make with you, Taliban. We're 381 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: agreeing to leave if you agree not to attack us 382 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: between now and the time we leave on May the first. 383 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: So now it's Trump's fault again. He's pandering back to 384 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: that Stepanopholis interjects, But your top military advisors warned against 385 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: withdrawing on the timeline. They wanted you to keep two thousand, 386 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: five hundred troops. Biden angry. No, they didn't. I'm going 387 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: to play that audio for you so you can hear 388 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: it now. And you know what the lies are. Military 389 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: advisors warn't against was drawing on this timeline. They wanted 390 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: you to keep about twenty five They didn't. It was split. 391 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: That wasn't true. That wasn't true. They didn't tell you 392 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: that they wanted troops to stay. No, not in terms 393 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: of whether we were going to get out in a 394 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: time frame, all troops. They didn't argue against that. So 395 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: no one, no one told your military did not tell you, no, 396 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: we should just keep twenty five hundred troops. It's been 397 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: a stable situation for the less several years. We can 398 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: do that, we can continue to do that. No no 399 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: one said that to me that I can recall. Look, George, 400 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: the reason why it has been stable for a year 401 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: is because the last president said, we're leaving. And here's 402 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: the deal I wanted to make with you Taliban. We're 403 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: agreeing to leave if you agree not to attack us 404 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: between now and the time we leave on May the first. 405 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: But in two months after I were elected to office, 406 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: how you have sworn in all of a sudden, I 407 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: have a May one deadline, I have a made one deadline. 408 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: I got one or two choices. Do I say we're staying? 409 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: And do you think we would not have to put 410 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: a hell of a lot more troops? We had one hundreds, 411 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: We had tens of thousands of troops there before, tens 412 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: of thousands. Do you think we would would have just said, 413 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: no problem, don't worry about it. We're not going to 414 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: attack anybody. We're okay in the meantime. But Taliban was 415 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: taken territory all throughout the country, in the north and 416 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: down in the south and the Pashtun. So would you 417 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: have withdrawn troops like this even if President Trump had 418 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: not made that deal with the Taliban, I would have 419 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: tried to figure out how to withdraw those troops. Yes, 420 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: because look, George, there is no good time to leave Afghanistan. 421 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: Fifteen years ago would have been a problem. Fifteen years 422 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: from now. The basic choice is am I going to 423 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: send your sons and your daughters to war in Afghanistan? 424 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: In Afghanistan in perpetuity? No one can name for me 425 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: at time when this would end. And again this is 426 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: the delusional high ground that Biden is going with right here, 427 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: right Well, I'm not going to keep sending your children 428 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: to war. So if you're caught behind enemy lines and 429 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: you're the ten thousand are going to be murdered and 430 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: massacred by the Taliban, hey, at least there's an end 431 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: in sight. We also just got an official announcement. Remember 432 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: the guy that we had in Getmo the guy that 433 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: we traded for the deserter bo Bergdall in that prisoner 434 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: swap when we negotiated with terrorists done under Biden and 435 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: Obama administration. The new leader of the Taliban we had 436 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: in Getmo. He's now in charge of the Taliban. Taliban 437 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: officials have just announced the Taliban group will rule Afghanistan 438 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: with sharia law, putting women back in the stone ages, 439 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: and no democratic system. Four days ago they told us 440 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: women were going to be in the government. Yeah, they lied. 441 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: That's who we're trusting for our people's safety. Right now, 442 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: Taliban officials announced the group will rule Afghanistan with sharial 443 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: law and no democratic system. And the man who announces 444 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: the same man that we had in get Mo that 445 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: we let out and traded for the deserter bo Bergdahl. 446 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: I'll say it again, all of this was avoidable. Every 447 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: bit of it was avoidable, all of it. And this 448 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: president is sitting there basically saying, I don't care what 449 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: you say to me. I was right. Afghan women are 450 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: throwing their babies over barb wire to save them. We 451 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: have video now. Video is showing babies being passed to 452 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: strangers and crowds to get them evacuated. People passing their 453 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: infant children to others and a crowd ahead of them 454 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: at the Kabol airport, hoping that the babies and toddlers 455 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: will be evacuated and have a better life because they 456 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: know they're going to be killed. Other reports indicated women 457 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: were actually throwing their babies over the bob wire in 458 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: a desperate attempt to save them because some of the 459 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 1: soldiers wouldn't take them, and they basically said, well, if 460 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: I throw them, you're gonna have to. Senior official said 461 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: to Sky News. They have no choice because the situation's 462 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: out of control. They said, the black abe will live 463 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: with some of these soldiers for the rest of their lives. 464 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: It's terrible. Women were throwing their babies over the razor 465 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: wire asking the soldiers to please take them. Some of 466 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: them got caught in the bob wire troops, reported. Another 467 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: said our men are going to have to have counseling, 468 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 1: saying every soldier cried last night. The report from Kabol 469 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: by war correspondent of a news so it's one of 470 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: the most upsetting stories they've ever published. At the Kibol airport, 471 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: a parachute regiment officer told Kim that Afghan mothers have 472 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: been trying to throw their babies over the bob wire 473 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 1: to British servicemen as well, in the hopes that their 474 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: children can be saved from life under the Taliban. Some 475 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: of the babies did not reach the troops. The Washington 476 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: Post this morning printing an article describing what life was 477 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: like for some children the last time the Taliban rolled 478 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan from ninety six to one quote, the outside 479 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: world got periodic glimpses into the country, even though taking 480 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: photos was forbidden. There was video of an African mother 481 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 1: forced to kneel in the stadium, shot dead between the 482 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: goal posts. There were photos of children dying of preventable 483 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: illnesses in a dilapidated pediatric hospital the US State Department 484 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: in November one, just after the United States had out 485 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: of the Taliban from power quote. Under Taliban rule, women 486 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: were given only the most rudimentary access to healthcare and 487 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: medical care, thereby endangering the health of women and in 488 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: turn their families. In most hospitals, male physicians could only 489 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: examine a female patient if she was fully clothed, ruling 490 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: out the possibility of meaningful diagnosis and treatment. Sharia law's 491 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: coming back. According to the United Nations International Children Emergency 492 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: Fund UNA South, one hundred and sixty five of every 493 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: thousand babies died before their first birthday in Afghanistan under 494 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: Taliban rule. And they just said they're bringing back the 495 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: same laws that allowed this to happen. And Joe Biden says, 496 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: couldn't have done a better job than I did trying 497 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: to get people out.
