00:00:32.000We speak about one of the reasons why the humiliation Kabul is moving voters away from Joe Biden.
00:00:39.000We go piece by piece talking about how the intentions of the Biden administration is to try to bring a lot of people into this country to change the body politics of this.

00:01:00.000I want to thank Alexa from Santa Rosa Beach, Alabama.
00:02:16.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:24.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:40.000In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:02:47.000Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.
00:02:49.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:02:51.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:03:10.000So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like Producer Andrew.
00:03:15.000Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane, but maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.
00:03:33.000But we are going to lead with the mess.
00:03:35.000The mess of what has now become an open-air hostage situation in Kabul, Afghanistan, where estimates are anywhere between 10 to 40,000 Americans are still in Afghanistan, where the Taliban has taken control of the entire country in just a couple days.
00:03:52.000We spent 20 years, thousands of lives, tens of thousands of people that were injured and harmed permanently and psychologically that are our fellow countrymen.
00:04:06.000And in 72 hours or less, the 300,000 Afghan soldiers that we trained and we were responsible for didn't even fire a shot as the Taliban swept across the country.
00:04:17.000It's probably more clear than ever that there was a deal done by the Taliban and the Afghan government.
00:04:24.000The Afghan president just left, and there was a conspiracy against the West, and now Afghanistan is back in Taliban hands.
00:04:32.000The generals that run the United States military, the foreign policy experts, they are a class of buffoons.
00:04:41.000They couldn't run a hot dog stand on the best day at Wrigley Field, as I'm here in Chicago.
00:04:46.000How could you possibly say after 20 years, and you go all in on the Afghan military, and you give all these assurances that the nation won't fall into total chaos?
00:04:58.000In a respectable country, generals and experts and leaders that oversee such a humiliation as this, they resign.
00:05:06.000Instead, they're going to fail upwards.
00:05:09.000They're going to become experts at think tanks.
00:05:12.000They're going to sit on the board of Raytheon or Northrop Grumman because they were obedient deep state bureaucrats for the corporate class.
00:05:35.000They said it was the third biggest they ever had, despite all the Delta variant concerns, total max capacity, well over 850 people, they said, which was awesome.
00:05:44.000And I could tell you, almost every person that came up to me wanted to talk about Afghanistan, which I found to be interesting.
00:06:08.000And the wonderful people of Chicago, I think, said it best.
00:06:11.000They said, we just got humiliated on the world stage after giving so much, sacrificing so much, believing in our experts in the military class, and we got ran over like we are a third world nation.
00:07:07.000We're not willing to do what is necessary.
00:07:10.000Regular Americans are saying, what is the American identity?
00:07:14.000And the people in charge of your country, your military, academia, the colleges, the corporations, they really don't seem very interested in protecting an American identity or an American story or American culture.
00:07:31.000This is part of a larger trend of what feels as if it's an imminent American decline.
00:07:40.000And then in 72 hours, we have to see a nation that we grew accustomed to seeing casualty numbers, bombing campaigns completely lost in almost record time.
00:07:54.000Joe Biden addressed this yesterday, who is Joe Biden will go down in the actual history books as the president who oversaw the accelerated decline intentionally of the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:08:13.000Almost encouraging that decline, accelerating that decline.
00:08:36.000He says the buck stops with him, but then he spent almost the entire speech blaming President Trump.
00:08:43.000And if the buck stops with you, Joe Biden, what are you going to do for the anywhere between 10 to 40,000 American citizens that now can't get out of Afghanistan?
00:09:02.000I will not pass this responsibility on to a fifth president.
00:09:07.000I will not mislead the American people by claiming that just a little more time in Afghanistan will make all the difference.
00:09:17.000Nor will I shrink from my share of responsibility for where we are today and how we must move forward from here.
00:09:24.000I am president of the United States of America, and the buck stops with me.
00:09:30.000Withdrawing from Afghanistan prudently was what President Trump already began to execute.
00:09:40.000Joe Biden decided to do this in the worst possible way, handing the keys to Afghanistan to the Taliban, almost intentionally creating a refugee crisis, which is what we talked about yesterday with the media is losing their mind over the fact that I might say that Joe Biden actually doesn't want what's best for the country.
00:10:00.000Of course, Joe Biden doesn't want what's best for the country.
00:10:02.000His whole presidency is about destroying the United States of America as we know it.
00:10:08.000Destroying our currency, keeping our borders wide open, teaching critical race theory, implementing wokeism agenda, absolutely obliterating oil and natural gas development as we know it, ignoring the federal courts.
00:10:22.000I don't give even an inch of good intentions for Joe Biden and his regime.
00:10:28.000This regime is about the properly managed decline of America so that they stay rich and powerful while normal people get crushed.
00:10:40.000The reason why Americans are so upset today, and they will be, this is not going away, is that this was a humiliating defeat.
00:10:54.000You see the sixth century pervert goatherders walking the streets of Kabul, and you think to ourselves, we can't even manage the exit of a country like this.
00:11:06.000And they're using our weapons against us.
00:11:09.000Mark Milley, Lloyd Austin, they're too busy talking about white rage in front of Congress.
00:11:15.000A very simple and important question would be, maybe instead of talking about Robin D'Angelo's how to be an anti-racist or whatever, shouldn't have you been focusing on making sure we extract our own weapons from Afghanistan so our enemies can't use them against us?
00:11:29.000We are being led by clowns in Washington, D.C. Look, I choose to protect my online activity by using ExpressVPN.
00:11:41.000Even if you keep your accounts, you don't have to give big tech websites access to your data.
00:11:47.000Ever wondered how free-to-access social media companies make all their money?
00:11:51.000Well, by tracking your searches, video history, and everything you click on, and then selling your valuable data.
00:11:57.000When you use ExpressVPN, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address, and that makes your activity much more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.
00:12:06.000What's more is ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your data to protect you from eavesdroppers on your network?
00:12:12.000And the ExpressVPN app couldn't be easier to use.
00:12:15.000You just tap one button on your phone or your computer and you're protected.
00:12:18.000Take back your online privacy with the VPN I trust at expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.
00:12:24.000By visiting my link, you'll get an extra three months of Express VPN service for a one-year package, and that's expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.

00:12:46.000One of the most unimpressive people ever to serve in government is a man by the name of Jake Sullivan.
00:12:52.000He thinks he's very smart because he's a Rhodes scholar.
00:12:55.000And as Tucker Carlson said on his show yesterday, we really can't find out what he's ever done that is meaningful except go to school.
00:13:03.000And he was pressed by, I think it was Savannah Guthrie from NBC.
00:13:08.000Asking, how did you guys screw this up so terribly?
00:13:12.000And he uses these kind of thinks that he's being very clever by using these long words by saying, oh, well, yes, we were trying to circumvent the imminent threat by trying to use aerial reconnaissance.
00:13:26.000And by the 10th second, you realize this guy's a moron.
00:13:29.000This is the guy, forget the fact that they're corrupt and they actually want to preside over a completely different nation being ushered in than the United States of America, which is not very smart.
00:13:53.000And the fact that Jake Sullivan is giving advice on our United States military is rather horrifying.
00:14:01.000Britt Hume had some really phenomenal comments.
00:14:07.000And this kind of goes to show what I was saying about what's actually happening in the Midwest.
00:14:14.000The real part, you know, there's not a real part of the country, but the part of the country that is misunderstood by the Washington, D.C. elites.
00:14:22.000I'm going to read a tweet here before I get to Britt Hume.
00:14:24.000So this guy, Matthew Kroenig, I don't know who he is.
00:14:30.000And he says the following: talking to friends and family in the American Midwest today.
00:14:36.000There is one thing many in D.C. don't fully appreciate.
00:14:39.000Most Americans don't pay much attention to foreign policy, but they really don't like losing, especially in a humiliating fashion.
00:14:47.000And I'm laughing, and he's a professor at Georgetown.
00:14:50.000I think I've seen him on Fox News before.
00:14:53.000But he works for the Atlantic Council, so he's probably a moron.
00:14:57.000And ex-Department of Defense has overseen the neoliberal, neoconservative project of breaking nations and then bringing in millions of refugees to change the actual structure of our country.
00:15:09.000But anyway, I love the way that he talks about Midwestern voters.
00:15:12.000Talking to friends and family in the American Midwest today.
00:15:19.000Well, yes, in the American Midwest, as I'm here in Washington, D.C., you'd only call it the American Midwest if you were in Brussels or Tokyo or in New Delhi.
00:15:28.000How about just Chicago or Des Moines, St. Paul?
00:15:33.000He's a Romney Republican, so he refused.
00:15:35.000He refers to the middle part of the country as, yes, that's the American Midwest, as opposed to what, the Italian Midwest or the Iraqi Midwest.
00:15:43.000But his point is a good one, but the way he talks about it is so unbelievably elitist and condescending, as if he has to try to be some sort of spokesperson to the D.C. elite.
00:16:17.000But he was the foreign policy advisor for Mitt Romney in 2012, senior national security advisor to Scott Walker, and a senior advisor to Marco Rubio's 2016 presidential campaign.
00:16:27.000And he's obviously, I mean, he works for the Atlantic Council and columnist for foreign policy and ex-Department of Defense and author of The Great Power Rivalry.
00:17:17.000So instead of him kind of being a spokesperson and an intermediary between the unwashed middle class in Waterloo, Iowa and Leeds, North Dakota, and the important people in D.C., he is instead an intermediary for me to see how the ruling class thinks.
00:17:34.000That right now, there are hundreds of people that run your country, run our military, run our government that are kind of like, what's the big deal if we lose?
00:18:08.000If you run a conservative or faith-based business or organizations that accept credit cards for donations, events and merchandise or anything, listen carefully.
00:18:16.000Do not expose yourself to being shut off because of canceled culture.

00:19:12.000So General Milley and Lloyd Austin, we have a team of failures at the highest level.
00:19:19.000And what really frustrates me is that the amazing soldiers and veterans that have sacrificed so much for this country, you deserve so much better than an elite class of generals and people in charge that fail upwards.
00:20:10.000There was such a profound bold-faced lie in that speech.
00:20:13.000The idea that we plan for every contingency.
00:20:16.000I have been personally trying to tell this administration since it took office.
00:20:21.000I've been trying to tell our government for years that this was coming.
00:20:25.000And we knew this was even coming in the previous weeks.
00:20:28.000And this goes to why I said what I said yesterday, is that with the billions of dollars you spend on the surveillance state against your own citizens, with the hundreds of billions of dollars you spend internationally, you're trying to tell me that we have to be stunned and surprised when the Taliban just takes over the country in a moment's notice?
00:20:57.000And one of the reasons why they let it happen, and this is the argument we made yesterday, that really has been kind of adopted by the mainstream in the conservative movement now, which we are really pleased about, is that this is all about refugees.
00:21:16.000Now, look, I, like many other Americans, have a soft spot for people that are dislocated because of war or famine or things they did not create.
00:21:28.000What is the American position or what should be the American position on refugees?
00:21:34.000Well, first and foremost, take care of our own citizens.
00:21:37.000And let's look at where refugee resettlement has either been a good idea or a bad idea.
00:21:42.000This is what you do when you create prudent policy.
00:21:46.000Well, refugee resettlement from Mogadishu, Somalia, to Minneapolis has been an unmitigated disaster.
00:21:55.000Gave us Elon Omar, tens of thousands of Somali Muslims that are not assimilating with the American culture.
00:22:02.000Where there is now a congresswoman, Elon Omar, that does not say a positive thing about America at any point.
00:22:08.000Instead, she is sympathizing with our greatest enemies, amongst many other questionable speeches and behavior from Elon Omar.
00:22:18.000Refugee resettlement, especially from the Arab world, has had a questionable, at best, track record.
00:22:25.000In fact, I would say it has not been beneficial to the United States of America politically, socially, or culturally.
00:22:33.000So then, why should we then run to try to accept tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan?
00:22:40.000First of all, wouldn't there be some sort of intermediate or moderate way we could do this?
00:22:44.000For example, Pakistan and the Pakistani government, one of the most dishonest in the entire country.
00:23:47.000Taliban commander who gave a taunting victory speech from the Kabul Palace was released from Gitmo after claiming he was a simple shopkeeper who helped Americans and wanted to return to Afghanistan to care for his sickly father.
00:24:01.000Oh, I helped Americans went from Gitmo to the Kabul Palace, and he's the one that gave the victory speech.
00:24:08.000That's him, according to the Daily Mail.
00:24:10.000So why are we now rushing to allow this many refugees into America?
00:24:15.000And by the way, I said this yesterday, and just to give you an idea of the nonsense we have to deal with, PolitiFac reached out to us and they say, this is not true.
00:25:55.000The chaotic and heartbreaking scenes out of Afghanistan over the last several days with innocent civilians running for their lives in fear of the Taliban is a result of a rushed and irresponsible withdrawal.
00:26:07.000Many of these Afghan citizens, our allies, bravely risked their lives to provide invaluable support for many years to our efforts as interpreters and support staff.
00:26:18.000And we have a moral obligation to help them.
00:26:22.000For their service, these allies, their immediate families, are eligible to receive special immigrant visas to the United States.
00:26:29.000And we stand ready and willing to do even more.
00:26:36.000Look, if they're so wonderful, then go let Angela Merkel get blessed by these people.
00:26:41.000We already have simultaneous immigration crises happening right now.
00:26:45.000You know that we just had another 2 million people, anywhere between 1.6 to 2 million people come illegally into the southern border.
00:26:51.000And what is Governor Larry Hogan worried about?
00:26:54.000Not serving his fellow countrymen, not literacy rates of black Americans in Baltimore, not the problems of crime in Towson.
00:27:01.000No, we stand ready for another 20,000 people that don't speak our language.
00:27:05.000Well, I guess if they're interpreters, they do speak your language, but not all of them do.
00:27:08.000I'm sure some of their kids might not.
00:27:11.000The question is, why are our leaders not putting the American people first?
00:27:15.000It's because they really don't like their voters.
00:27:16.000They don't actually have, they have contempt for everyday Americans.
00:27:20.000People that own firearms, the people that go to church.
00:27:24.000No, Governor Larry Hogan, like many others, he would much rather try to change the country because it makes him feel good because Governor Larry Hogan does what the corporate class tells him to do.
00:27:36.000Tucker Carlson had a phenomenal open yesterday, must watch television.
00:27:42.000I was about to give my speech last night, and before I did, I had to open up my Fox app just to watch what Tucker had to say as it was happening right before I spoke.
00:27:53.000Must watch television to hear what he has to say in moments like this.
00:28:03.000And we were one of the first shows to say this.
00:28:05.000This is all a manufactured crisis on behalf of Biden and his regime to create chaos in the Middle East as quickly as possible to then instill a sense of guilt in you and me to try to say, well, I guess we got to take 10, 30, 40, 500,000, 700,000 Afghanis.
00:28:26.000And the next thing you know, you have another Melgadishu on your hands.
00:28:30.000How long until there is an Afghan member of Congress like Elon Omar?
00:28:56.000Tony Blinken, another unimpressive clown running the State Department, we set out exactly what we wanted to do, is what Anthony Blinken said, which begs the question, did they want the refugee crisis?
00:29:06.000According to our government, they've already identified 80,000 refugees to come to America, which the studies show that 75% of Arab refugees vote Democrat.
00:29:15.000Now, we should try to change that, obviously.
00:29:17.000But the question is, why are we bringing them in in the first place?
00:29:21.000Especially with all the structural issues and problems we have and the 1.8 million people that are coming across the southern border illegally.
00:29:32.000And if history is any guide, and it's always a guide, we will see many refugees from Afghanistan resettle in our country in coming months, probably in your neighborhood.
00:29:41.000And over the next decade, that number may swell to the millions.
00:29:45.000So first we invade and then we're invaded.
00:30:03.000But that was because of the Syrian Civil War and ISIS.
00:30:08.000And ISIS only came to power because we pulled out of Iraq because we invaded Iraq in the first place that displaced Saddam Hussein under a lie and a myth that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
00:30:22.000Now, Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, but Saddam also fought Iran for us.
00:30:27.000And Sodom was able to actually manage the three different ethnic groups that were present in Iraq, the Sunni, the Shia, and the Kurds.
00:30:36.000Kurdistan, I believe, being furthest to the north in one of the most pro-Western regions of the Middle East.
00:30:46.000So when you displace a dictator and you play war games and you try to nation build, you're going to have a couple issues.
00:30:54.000Number one, immediately the people in charge think they can impose their values in an imperialist mindset like it's a massive social project.
00:31:02.000Like, oh, yeah, we're going to get the people of Afghanistan to all of a sudden read Robin D'Angelo's how to be an anti-racist, Tahanisi Coates or whatever, Henry Rogers, Ibram X. Kendi's, how to be an anti-racist.
00:31:15.000Like, we're going to instill gender norms on the Afghan people.
00:31:32.000Our mission statement is not going to try to culturally transform the people of Herod, Afghanistan.
00:31:40.000Our mission statement is not trying to create gender equality in Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
00:31:48.000Instead, it's okay: if there's an immediate existential terror threat or foreign policy threats in the United States, we're going to take care of it.
00:32:01.000The foreign policy failures of this regime, the bipartisan regime of Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney and Joe Biden is extraordinary.
00:32:10.000And they do all of that while there are significant problems in the homeland: drug overdoses, open borders, manufacturing decay, a deteriorating currency.
00:32:24.000The kind of empire that our leaders think they are.
00:32:28.000They're not even good at running the empire.
00:32:41.000Their goal is to go break a country, cause chaos, give the American people a sense of guilt and a sense of an obligation to then go all of a sudden accept the continued cultural transformation of America.
00:32:58.000To give you an idea of how many refugees might come from Afghanistan, estimates are immediately 80,000.
00:33:06.000It could be upwards of hundreds of thousands.
00:33:09.000So basically, we might take as much as the entire population of Wyoming, but don't put them near Liz Cheney's home because she doesn't actually want them near her.
00:33:18.000She's really big into the breaking countries model, bombing them into oblivion.
00:33:23.000How is she going to tell the voters of Wyoming that, hey, oh, by the way, we're bringing another 500,000 people from the Middle East because of the decisions I made?
00:33:30.000That's the true agenda at play here, everybody.
00:33:33.000Joe Biden screwed this up in a total chaos to now create a sense of guilt on all of us that will change the country politically forever.
