00:00:00.000Hey everybody, what's the worst trade in sports history?
00:00:04.000Well, what's the worst trade in human history?
00:00:07.000We go through that and we talk about how the current Taliban government is a creation of our trade policies, but not trade, as you might know at the World Trade Organization or NAFTA, a different type of trade.
00:00:19.000About how Obama and Biden designed the current regime in Taliban that made the Bill Russell, Kobe Bryant, and Babe Ruth trade look like a stellar trade.
00:01:49.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:24.000Number two, the great Bill Russell, one of the best basketball players ever, when the St. Louis Hawks traded Bill Russell to Boston for Ed McCauley and Cliff Hagan in 1956.
00:03:37.000Russell went on to be the best NBA center of all time, arguably, and he led the Celtics to 11 NBA titles.
00:03:48.000The most of any storied franchise in basketball.
00:03:51.000And the worst deal ever brokered in sports history was, of course, The legend of the Bambino, when the Boston Red Sox traded future baseball star Babe Ruth for $100,000 and a $300,000 loan to finance a musical called No No Nanette.
00:04:16.000Of course, Babe Ruth goes on to win multiple World Series and becomes one of the best, if not the best, baseball player in history, dominating the Red Sox.
00:04:29.000Now, the Bleacher Report ends the article by saying, how could anything be worse?
00:04:36.000Not so fast, my friends, as Lee Carso would say.
00:04:40.000You see, today on this episode, we're going to put lots of different pieces together, and we're going to talk about the worst deal that was ever brokered in geopolitical history, a deal that might have been done intentionally to weaken America and strengthen our Arab enemies.
00:04:58.000In 2014, of May of 2014, Turning Point USA was just getting started.
00:05:03.000We were just starting to get some momentum to try to get on campuses.
00:06:11.000In fact, several soldiers died looking for Bo Bergdahl, including Clayton Bowen, Kurt Curtis, Darren Andrews, Michael Murphy, Matthew Martineck, and Morris Walker.
00:06:26.000All of them died looking for Bo Bergdahl, who abandoned and betrayed his country.
00:06:32.000Yet Obama was very quick to try to execute this deal, to try to release five terrorists from Gitmo for one traitor to the United States.
00:06:45.000And who was overseeing this whole deal?
00:07:08.000All five detainees were active Taliban fighters and planners.
00:07:12.000Three held leadership posts in the Taliban government.
00:07:15.000Mohamed Fazl was a former deputy minister of defense and founding Taliban member.
00:07:20.000Abdul Haqwasik was a former deputy intelligence minister and confidant of top Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
00:07:27.000Mullah Norala Nouri was a senior Taliban commander in northern Afghanistan and one of the highest-ranking Taliban held at Guantanamo.
00:07:35.000So five Taliban, three out of five were Taliban leaders.
00:07:38.000While we were actively at war against the Taliban and the Taliban were killing American soldiers and American journalists, we were trading five terrorists for a traitor.
00:08:00.000Bo Bergdahl will indeed enter a plea Monday to charges that he endangered comrades by walking off his remote post in Afghanistan in 2009.
00:08:09.000We reported last week that Bergdahl is expected to plead guilty to those charges.
00:08:13.000No word on whether there is an agreement on his punishment, but the misbehavior before the enemy charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, while the desertion charge is punishable by up to five years.
00:08:27.000And then throughout this whole thing, one of the most bizarre moments was Bo Bergdahl's father, a white man with a long beard, starts speaking Arabic at the White House, praising Obama for bringing Bo Bergdahl back to the United States and saying, thank you for doing this.
00:09:16.000Khalifa Althani, the complicated nature of this recovery will never really be comprehended.
00:09:27.000What ended up happening was that we traded the five prisoners, the five terrorists of the Taliban leadership, for Bo Bergdahl, the deserter.
00:09:39.000Cut 26, Obama says that trading five prisoners for Bergdahl's release, and he's working with the Qatari government to ensure our national security.
00:09:51.000As part of this effort, the United States is transferring five detainees from the prison in Guantanamo Bay to Qatar.
00:09:57.000The Qatari government has given us assurances that it will put in place measures to protect our national security.
00:10:04.000I also want to express gratitude to the Afghan government, which has always supported our efforts to secure Bo's release.
00:10:12.000To secure Bo's release, you see, the art of the statesman is to make deals under pressure to hopefully benefit the homeland and disadvantage the enemy.
00:10:50.000We're going to tell you where Obama's all-star team is and how they got there.
00:10:57.000Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:11:06.000Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist BLM incorporated organization?
00:11:14.000Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:11:21.000Left-wing corporations are subverting our nation and our republic by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:11:35.000You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line, which is why there's a massively important organization called Second Vote that comes in.
00:15:04.000Starring at 5'8, known for preying on little girls with six wives, Karula Karakawa, the head of goat herding, Narula Nouri, in charge of making sure no one eats pork, Abdul Haq Wasik, and the suicidal bomb reconciliatory division of the Taliban government, Mohammed Fossil.
00:16:23.000Obama Biden built the government of the Taliban.
00:16:27.000Now, just as a side note, do you notice how Obama used to do kind of very proper Obama where he'd be like, today, we're here to talk about Bergdahl's release.
00:16:38.000And then he would do the jive, Obama, where he'd kind of roll up his sleeves.
00:17:34.000So we get a traitor named Bergdahl, a dirty, rotten traitor, who, by the way, when he deserted, six young, beautiful people were killed trying to find him.
00:17:48.000Somebody said the other day, well, he had some psychological problems.
00:17:52.000You know, in the old days, bing, bong, when we were strong, when we were strong.
00:17:57.000So we get Bergdahl, a traitor, and they get five of the people that they most wanted anywhere in the world, five killers that are right now back on the battlefield doing a job.
00:19:22.000Well, in 2014, it was the last couple years of the Obama regime, and there was serious populist energy that was beginning to rise up around specific issues around trade and immigration.
00:19:38.000You see, Obama didn't get much done his second term, but one of the few things he got done was the Iran deal and also opening up China to be unrestricted in the World Trade Organization.
00:19:51.000Most people don't know this, but Afghanistan neighbors China.
00:20:07.000China, you turn over Iraq and you get 100 million people in China.
00:20:13.000But the one thing China does not have is natural resources.
00:20:17.000Afghanistan is very natural resource rich, especially rare earth minerals.
00:20:25.000Now, not as much oil, believe it or not.
00:20:28.000Afghanistan does have a fair amount of oil, but nowhere near as much as Saudi Arabia or Yemen or Oman or the UAE or any of the other Middle East partners.
00:20:39.000Why would Barack Obama with his partner Joe Biden broker this type of deal?
00:20:46.000Well, who was flying on Air Force 2 to China while he was vice president?
00:20:54.000We know that Chinese deals were being brokered while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States.
00:21:02.000Now, why would China want to see the Taliban as a legitimate government?
00:21:08.000Well, the Taliban will do whatever China wants them to do.
00:21:12.000Whereas the propped-up regime government of Asaf Ghani, the fake government that we put in place, China wasn't getting everything they wanted.
00:21:22.000You see, China, they want to create a Belt and Road initiative across the entire world.
00:21:27.000And Afghanistan is a key partner in that.
00:21:30.000And so they'd say, man, we got to get our boys back running the Taliban.
00:21:34.000We got to get the people, oh, let's trade Bergdahl for these five killers.
00:21:42.000And you see these five killers, they are now running the Taliban government.
00:22:10.000But yeah, it's just he probably wanted a ground invasion of Libya or something in between these statements, or he was salivating over invading Peru because somebody looked at him weird in the halls.
00:22:23.000But John McCain is right about this one, cut 16.
00:22:26.000I think there are legitimate questions about these individuals who are being released and the conditions under which they will be released.
00:22:37.000These are the hardest of the hardcore.
00:22:40.000These are the highest high-risk people.
00:22:42.000And others that we have released have gone back into the fight.
00:22:48.000So, and it's disturbing to me that the Taliban are the ones that named the people to be released.
00:22:56.000And Andrew, so what does this tell us about the geopolitical situation, what's happening right now in Afghanistan?
00:23:04.000Well, right now, the Taliban are celebrating and they're spiking the football, so to speak.
00:23:13.000I mean, I think it's really fascinating that the entire debacle, the botched surrender, we can call it a withdrawal if you want, but it was really a surrender ultimately to get to this 20-year anniversary photo op for Joe Biden is punctuated by not our victory 20 years later, but by the Talibans.
00:23:35.000And to Make this really, really clear.
00:23:39.000The Taliban are planning to have their interim government inauguration ceremony on Saturday, September 11th, 20th anniversary of 9-11.
00:23:49.000And as John McCain said, they got the hardest of the hardcore, the Taliban 5.
00:23:57.000And by the way, people are asking, well, if there's four out of the five, where did the fifth one end up?
00:24:05.000And that would be Mohammed Nabi Omari, and he was appointed governor of East Coast province last month.
00:24:12.000And not East Coast like New York, but like K-H-O-S-T, a region in Afghanistan.
00:24:18.000So he's a big important player as well.
00:24:21.000And so I hate to say it because I grew up in an America, as you did, Charlie, where we won.
00:25:04.000In fact, this could change the political dynamics of the entire region.
00:25:09.000The spokesperson says, We have made clear our expectation that the Afghan people deserve an inclusive government.
00:25:16.000The State Department says that they will judge the Taliban by its actions, not words.
00:25:21.000And of course, one of the people that are running Afghanistan is Haqqani, who runs the Haqqani network that was created thanks to our reckless withdrawal from Afghanistan.
00:25:33.000The State Department continues by saying, We want to also reiterate our clear expectation that the Taliban ensure that Afghan soil is not used to threaten any other countries and allow humanitarian access in support of the Afghan people.
00:25:48.000The world is watching closely, you men, you evil men.
00:26:14.000It says here that a State Department spokesperson has says that they presented this as a caretaker cabinet.
00:26:21.000They say that this notable absence of women in the inner core government comes despite the Taliban saying that they want to urge women to join government offices in an attempt to differentiate the Taliban rule of 2001 from that of 20 years ago.
00:26:34.000They obviously know very little about, let's just say, Pashtun, Afghan, Islamic, theocratic fascism.
00:26:42.000So all of a sudden, 20 years later, you think because they told you something, they're going to have like Ava Perrone or Angela Merkel run the Afghan government.
00:26:52.000Like, oh, yeah, we got Mohameda here, and she's our new spokesperson.
00:26:57.000You think that's going to really work out for you?
00:28:09.000Some form of a 13th-century trading route, Greta Thunberg can recreate and she will come ascendant into Kabul to liberate the Taliban from their worship of fossil fuels.
00:28:26.000She's going to go on China's new Silk Road.
00:30:14.000The Biden regime is on the case, everybody.
00:30:15.000They are sending the diversity industrial complex.
00:30:18.000They are sending hall monitors, and soon there will be safe spaces, trigger warnings, and there will be sensitivity trainings for Christians that get their heads cut off.
00:30:48.000We are just weeks away from yet another American travesty, one that could lead our country even further down the road to tyranny.
00:30:56.000I'm talking, of course, about court packing, the far left's radical plan to rig our entire federal judiciary system by adding four liberal justices to the Supreme Court and completely destroying the constitutional rule of law in our country as we know it.
00:31:11.000Thankfully, my friends at First Liberty Institute, a national nonprofit law firm, are taking a stand.
00:31:18.000They've written a letter telling the Biden Commission to reject this brazen court packing scheme.
00:31:24.000And now prominent leaders, plus over 100,000 patriots like you, have joined their coalition.
00:31:29.000Franklin Graham, former Attorney General Ed Meese, Dr. Dobson, plus organizations like the American Policy Association, Concerned Women for America, are all on board.
00:33:18.000From Chicago, all of you listening on AM560 The Answer.
00:33:21.000No offense to all of you listening on 77 on the Dial and WABC.
00:33:24.000God bless you guys, but the Chicago first program here, as far as my own allegiances.
00:33:29.000I have to say, though, one of the worst trades ever done, at least alignments.
00:33:34.000But Obama and Bergdahl, much worse than that.
00:33:41.000It's worth explaining what he did trade away.
00:33:43.000He traded every pick he had in the draft, plus two of its first three picks in the 2000 draft, the year after, which is, you know, that's a lot.
00:33:56.000I remember the, yeah, there it is right there.
00:33:57.000The cover, the cover of ESPN was Ricky Williams in like this wedding dress and Mike Ditka in this kind of weird tuxedo cover of ESPN magazine.
00:34:07.000That actually used to be a really good magazine before they discontinued it.
00:34:09.000It was way better than Sports Illustrated.
00:34:36.000But there was some great college football.
00:34:38.000But in closing, a statesman, someone in charge of being able to trade, someone in charge who's able to make deals and broker terrorists for a traitor, they must always defend and make that deal in defense of the homeland.
00:34:57.000But what we saw with Obama and Biden and every single one of their decisions internationally and globally, empowering Iran, putting the Taliban back in power, was almost all pointing towards the strengthening of the Chinese Communist Party and their regime.
00:35:14.000Well, the cash flows almost all go back to companies connected to or controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:35:23.000Bo Bergdahl, the traitor of the United States that people died looking for, that reveals exactly what this regime did recently in Afghanistan.
00:35:34.000Gave away $85 billion in weapons intentionally, allowed the Taliban to take over Kabul intentionally.
00:35:41.000Did nothing when a suicide bomber came and killed 13 Marines intentionally.
00:35:46.000Our current regime right now is not controlled by people who have loyalty or allegiance to America.
00:35:54.000Biden and his allies within the White House are being totally controlled by proxies that are much more loyal to Xi Jinping and the aims, wants, and desires of the Chinese Communist Party and their sinister and malevolent aims to take over Taiwan, which is happening very soon, by the way.
00:36:12.000Just so you know, China has entered Taiwan airspace.
00:36:15.000We covered that the other day, and almost no one else is covering that.
00:36:18.000And it all goes back down, goes back to how Obama laid the groundwork for this.
00:36:24.000He laid the groundwork through the trades.
00:36:27.000He laid the groundwork through the empowerment of Iran, through the World Trade Organization, through who he sent to the UN.
00:36:34.000And now we're in this geopolitical mess that we're in, playing on other countries' terms.
