Let me remind you of tough Joe Biden. 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: Back in two nineteen November the twenty fourth, twenty nineteen, 16 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden tweeted this out when he was wanting to 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: be your president. Quote, It's time we remember who we 18 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,639 Speaker 1: are as Americans. We treat each other with dignity, we 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 1: leave no one behind, and we give hate no safe harbor. Well, no, 20 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: that's not exactly what is going to happen with an 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: actual Joe Biden presidency. Senator Kennedy reacting to the Afghanistan withdrawal, 22 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: which is now official, and you're supposed to celebrate our retreat, 23 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: our retreat from the Taliban, our defeat from the Taliban. 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: Let me let me make that clear, not our defeat, 25 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's defeat, Joe Biden's retreat. No one wanted to 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: do this, but Joe Biden was obsessed with it. One 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: family member saying to Joe Biden, quote, I hope you 28 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 1: burn in hell. Families of the slain service members recall 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: raw response to Joe Biden at the Dover ceremony where 30 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: he's been busted on camera, actually checking his watch to 31 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: see what time it is, because apparently he was annoyed 32 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: by having to be there. President Joe Biden's appearance at 33 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: that dignified transfer the remains of the thirteen soldiers killed 34 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan on Sunday was sharply criticized, according to accounts 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: of the ceremony by family members. One woman screamed as 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: Biden at Biden across the tarmac, saying, I hope you 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: burn in hell. That was my brother. That according to 38 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Marcus Schmidt's, the father of the twenty year old Lance 39 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: Corporal Jared Smith's who was killed in the suicide bombing 40 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: attack outside the Kabbal Airport. Speaking to The Washington Post, 41 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Smith said he attended the ceremony with his ex wife, 42 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 1: and he glared as he said the present spent more 43 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: time looking at his ex wife while he spoke about 44 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: his son bo Biden, who died from cancer after leaving 45 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: the military. I said, don't you ever forget that name, 46 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: Don't you ever forget that face. Don't you ever forget 47 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: the names of the other twelve and take some time 48 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: to learn their stories. Biden, of course, never being wrong, right, 49 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: bristoled at the comment from the man, and he said, 50 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: I do know there's stories. Smiths is one of the 51 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: family members, one of the many family members who spoke 52 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: out about their visit with Biden at the Dover Air 53 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: Force Base. It's got to be difficult. I'm not saying 54 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: it was easy at all, but you can't run up 55 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: and hug somebody as if you had nothing to do 56 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: with it. Another family member said, it's not going to 57 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: work that way when you're commander in chief. Many indicate 58 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: they grew weary of Biden talking about their son bo 59 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: Biden's death an attempt to sympathize the family or families 60 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: of those who had gathered. When he just kept talking 61 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: about his son so much, it was just my interest 62 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: was lost in that. I was more focused on my 63 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: own son than what happened with him and his son. 64 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to insult the president, but it just 65 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: didn't seem that appropriate to spend that much time on 66 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: his own son, Slaine. Marine Corporal Lance Riley McCollum's sister Royce, 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: noted that Biden's words did not comfort the family, especially 68 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: her brother's wife, who is pregnant with their child. Quote, 69 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: my dad and I did not want to speak to him. 70 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: You cannot kneel on our flag and pretend you care 71 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: about our troops. You can't blank up as bad as 72 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: he did and say you're soaring. This did not need 73 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: to happen, and every life is on his hands. Race 74 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: and her sister in law was also frustrated by the 75 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: President checking his watch and speaking about his own son. 76 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: Smith also said he was agitated by the President checking 77 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: his watch as well. Couldn't believe that it looked like 78 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: he had somewhere else he needed to be. We do 79 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: have that video and that photo of Joe Biden checking 80 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: his watch.

I'm the one that got us out 87 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: of Afghanistan, because that's what this is really about, that 88 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: type of narcissism. I'm the one. Yeah.

Joe Biden said, Hey, 95 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: mission accomplished, right, So what if some Americans are gonna 96 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: be left behind a die and be tortured, beheaded, hung 97 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: from helicopters. That also is now happening. Took the Taliban 98 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: four days to figure out how to fly our our 99 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: helicopters that we left behind, and now they're stringing people 100 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: up and hanging them from those helicopters and flying them 101 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: around the city. That is what the Taliban is now doing, 102 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: the same Taliban that we trusted to protect us and 103 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: our soldiers at the Air Force base, at that base 104 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: in Kabul, the Pentagon confirmed. At the last plane, and 105 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: you're again supposed to be excited about this, left Kabo 106 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: Airport on Monday, inning the US military mission in Afghanistan 107 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: after two decades, while leaving hundreds of Americans behind.

That's what 111 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: General McKenzie, the head of the US Central Command, said 112 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: the reporters in a media briefing. The last Sea seventeen 113 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: lifted off from the International Airport on August thirty, fifth 114 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: afternoon at three twenty nine pm East Coast time.

We left him 119 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: behind on purpose, folks, We left them behind deliberately because 120 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is obsessed with a press conference that he 121 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: wanted to have saying I'm the one that got us out. 122 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: And there were no American civilians on the last flight 123 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: out because they were not able to make it to 124 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: the airport. I want you to think about that. This 125 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: is how weak our country is in just seven months 126 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: under Biden's rule. And for all you idiots out there 127 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: that voted for Joe Biden because you were upset about 128 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's mean tweets, Donald Trump would have never left 129 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: Americans behind. Donald Trump would have never trust a Taliban 130 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: for our security. Donald Trump would have never allowed our 131 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: helicopters to be used to hang people and fly them 132 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: around the city. Donald Trump would have never allowed our 133 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: men and women to be attacked the way that they 134 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: were attacked, not saying that they wouldn't have had attacks 135 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: on them, but the way that they were attacked, trusting 136 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the Taliban to protect us. Donald Trump would have never 137 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: checked his watch at the tarmac, well, the bodies are 138 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: coming off the planes of American soldiers. But you guys 139 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: were upset about some mean tweets from Donald Trump. Yeah, yeah, 140 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: that's what this was really all about. Donald Trump said 141 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: some mean things, had some mean tweets. The United States 142 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: of America is admitting now that hundreds of American citizens 143 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: have been left behind, and there were no American civilians 144 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: in the last flight out because they were not able 145 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: to make it to the airport. Quote, there's a lot 146 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: of heartbreak associated with this departure. We did not get 147 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: out everybody we wanted to get out, he said. Anybody 148 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: gonna answer for that. We don't leave one American behind 149 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's president for seven months, or leaven hundreds or 150 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: thousands behind to be tortured and butchered and killed. Think 151 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: about that. It is astounding to me how much this 152 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: administration has just flat out lied to you, the American people. 153 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: This administration broke a promise to leave no American behind. 154 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: They're now admitting that they don't even know how many 155 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: Americans they left behind. They have no idea. John Kirby 156 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: coming out this morning, of course, going to a friendly place. 157 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: MSNBC was asked that simple question and his answer, it's 158 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: almost like they don't even care join us now.

I don't think there's an 165 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: exact figure. Will we believe we got the vast, vast 166 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: majority of American citizens out something to the tune of 167 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: six thousand of them, and we think it's probably in 168 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: the low hundreds that are still there. And there were 169 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: also several hundred others that didn't want to leave. Well, 170 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: I love this didn't want to leave. They're mudding the 171 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: waters on this didn't want to leave. And there's some 172 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: people that maybe they really didn't want to leave. And 173 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: if they really didn't want to leave, and that's fine, 174 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: if that's their choice, right, that's what they decide to 175 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: do that they don't want to leave, but to group 176 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: them together like, oh, well there was a bond to 177 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: people that just didn't want to leave. Are you kidding me? 178 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: We now have people by the way of our military 179 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: that are now resigning. One Marine who resigned after being 180 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: fired for demanding Afghan accountability said, we will bring the 181 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: whole blanking system down. I am honorable. You can ask 182 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: any Marine who served with me for seventeen years. I 183 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: dare to ask them all and find out what I'm 184 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: made of. We're just getting started. Had enough. Marine Lieutenant 185 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: Colonel Stuart Scheller on Sunday announced in a video that 186 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: he was resigning his commission as a lieutenant colonel in 187 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps following being fired as a battalion commander 188 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: for asking for accountability from his senior leadership on the 189 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: bots Afghan withdrawal and his original video posted Thursday, after 190 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: the desks of thirteen service members, including one he knew personally, 191 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: He said, I want to say this very strongly. I've 192 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: been fighting for seventeen years. I'm willing to throw it 193 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: all away to say to my senior leaders, I demand accountability. 194 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: He announced his video on Sunday, after the enormous outpouring 195 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: of supporting debate over his video, that he was resigning 196 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: his commission as an officer in the Marine Corps, shortly 197 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: short of the twenty years he needed to be eligible 198 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: for lifelong retirement and medical benefits. He said, quote, I 199 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: want to make the announcement today after seventeen years. I 200 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: currently not pending legal action, and I can stay in 201 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps for another three years, but I don't 202 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: think that's the path I'm on. I'm resigning my Commission's 203 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: United States Marine effective now. I'm sure there's some Marine 204 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: Administrative message on how I'm supposed to do that, and 205 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: I work through that, but I have forfeited my retirement 206 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: all entitlements. I don't want a single dollar. I don't 207 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: want any money from the VA. I don't want any 208 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: VA benefits. I'm sure I'm entitled to a one hundred 209 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: percent I you know, breathe on the smell of smoke 210 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: of burning blank for years. I don't want any of it. 211 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: All I asked for was accountability for my senior leaders 212 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: when there are clear, obvious mistakes that were made. I'm 213 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: not saying we can take back what has been done. 214 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: All I asked for was accountability for the people to 215 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: comment on what I said and to say, yes, some 216 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: mistakes are made, and had they done that, I would 217 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: have gone back into rank and file submitted an accomplishment. 218 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: I wanted this. The morning after I posted my video 219 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: and I came into work, my boss came in the 220 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: what are you trying to accomplish? And that was a 221 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: very tough question for me, and my response was, I 222 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: want senior leaders to accept accountability. I think them accepting 223 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: accountability would do more for service members and PTSD and 224 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: struggling with purpose and any other transparent piece of paper message. 225 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: And I haven't received that For the over two million 226 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: that I would potentially receive in retirement for the rest 227 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: of my life, however much extra the disability would be. 228 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: I think that money should go back to all the 229 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: senior general officers because I think they need it more 230 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: than I do, because when I'm done with what I'm 231 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: about to do, You're all going to need jobs and 232 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: the security. I want to be clear that I love 233 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps. I think you know there's a fascination 234 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: with special Forces over the last fifteen years. Special Forces 235 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: people that come in the middle of the night and 236 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: they kill the biggest targets that the United States has, 237 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: and I have much respect. I worked to Marine Special 238 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: Operations Command for a year. But what I'll say in 239 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: the conventional marine on the ground, who has the smell 240 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: of burning blank. Who When I was in Afghanistan, I 241 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: was exposed to it so much that burning blank acts 242 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: to smell like bacon and eggs, and I grew to 243 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: enjoy the smell. Those people who are there every day 244 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: don't get to leave the next morning or in the 245 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: middle of the night, who go outside the wire, get 246 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: blown up, bring their marines back, and then go back 247 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: out there the next day. They don't get the credit 248 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: they deserve, and they deserve accountability. You have no idea 249 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: what I'm capable of doing. To all the congress and centers, 250 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: every media station across the globe, to all the rich philanthropists. 251 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate the support, and I'm going to need your support. 252 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: I don't need a single dollar. I just need every 253 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: single person that's willing to go back outside the wire 254 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: every single day, to wear a blue collar and just 255 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: going to work every single day and feed their families. 256 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: Those are the people that I need follow me and 257 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: we will bring the whole blanking system down. I am honorable. 258 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: You can ask any marine you're serving me for the 259 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: last seventeen years, I dare to ask them all and 260 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: find out what I made of. We're just getting started. 261 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: White House. Yes, we left Americans behind. Do we know 262 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: the exact figure? Do we know? Join us now? Pentagon 263 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: Press Secretary retired Rear Admiral in the United States Navy, 264 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: John Kirby. Admiral Kirby, thanks for your time this morning. 265 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Do you have a sense this morning 266 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: as you talk to people on the ground and you 267 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: talk to people across the Defense Department about how many 268 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: Americans remain in Afghanistan today? I don't think there's an 269 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: exact figure, Willie. We believe we got the vast, vast 270 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: majority of American citizens out, something to the tune of 271 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: six thousand of them, and we think it's probably in 272 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: the low hundreds that are still there. And there were 273 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: also several hundred others that didn't want to leave. Well 274 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: that's the and I know this is now a diplomatic mission, 275 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: as you all have said, and this is for the state. 276 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: I mean, let's just throw it on them. Oh, well, 277 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that don't want to leave. 278 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of people that don't want to leave. 279 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: You want me to believe that there's a bunch of 280 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: Americans that you guys were begging to get out and 281 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: they didn't want to leave. Give me a break. Do 282 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: you think any of us are stupid enough to believe this? 283 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: You know it. Retired green beret who ran kable rescue 284 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: missions said Americans trapped behind enemy lines turn back and 285 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: fired at the Taliban. These are the heroes, the retired 286 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: United States Army greenberrey who ran a daring rescue mission 287 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: that likely say the lives at least five hundred people 288 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: who would have been trapped in Kabul by the Biden 289 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: administration's disasters withdrawal set on money. There are Americans and 290 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: Afghan allies trapped behind enemy lines, including children, and that 291 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: at least one group were turned by Taliban fighters who 292 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: then fired at them. This idea that the Taliban was 293 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: helping us get out, protecting us the airport is a lie. 294 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: American University of Afghanistan students were told, quote, we have 295 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: given your names to the Taliban and there is no 296 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: evacuation coming.
