00:03:51.300
hundreds twenties fifties tens fives it's you let me give you a couple of stories because because the
00:04:01.180

00:04:41.320
you three people that called yesterday one was uh a donor that called in she was so sweet i'm gonna
00:04:53.360
try to track her down today she said she was giving 25 and she said she had saved up her money because
00:05:02.080
she needed to buy some new shoes she said she knew she was poor
00:05:08.240
and that it wasn't a lot but she prayed on it and she said god told her he would take care of the shoes
00:05:17.600
if she would just help his people in afghanistan
00:05:20.380
this is the kind of faith that will restore our country
00:05:25.840
this is the kind of devotion that we need to have
00:05:33.320
and i will tell you our god will lead us to peace
00:05:38.540
uh i'm i'm calling her today uh i you know maybe i'm maybe i'm acting for god here but uh it's just
00:05:50.780
me acting as me i'll take care of her shoes what faith donor from new london ohio he called up
00:06:02.340
donated his entire social security check for the month of 604 and 70 cents
00:06:10.140
a pastor called us said he'd been trying all day to donate via the website but the bank was declining
00:06:19.740
it so he called in desperation saying please tell me i'm not too late he mailed us a check now his
00:06:27.340
his church has 50 members 50 he called all of them yesterday and said
00:06:36.380
can you help he's mailing us a check for ten thousand dollars from his entire congregation
00:06:43.400
the blessings the blessings are going to be god is moving god is moving
00:06:54.320
we got a call from a mom said my eight-year-old gave me
00:06:59.620
four dollars and 25 cents all of the money he had in his piggy bank
00:07:05.580
he said he just wanted to help these people and then after he said here's all my money mom
00:07:13.980
is there anything i have that i could sell and what can i do to earn money
00:07:20.780
this is such a good teaching moment for your kids
00:07:29.260
we usually keep our kids away from stuff like this we don't want them to see it i think our kids should
00:07:36.840
see it my older kids didn't didn't witness september 11th they saw none of the footage
00:07:43.380
until they were in college and uh in some ways i can't decide in some ways that was a mistake in other ways
00:07:54.020
it was good i can't decide but this is one where we have to begin to decide who we are who are we
00:08:03.140
what is what is worth living for what is our money worth you know our money is going to be so worthless soon
00:08:14.120
it's just that you know the more you try to hold on to your money the more it's going to slip through your fingers
00:08:20.660
there's just you know what are you going to do when the fed comes out i talked to neil ferguson
00:08:25.860
you know who he is still the really great historian yes i asked him uh it's a podcast that comes out next week
00:08:35.400
uh i asked him what if you're a historian for 50 years from now what do you see how do you write it
00:08:44.060
and he just it just came out it was beautiful it was poetry but it was really sad uh and you know
00:08:52.540
it was the end of taiwan and as soon as that happened in 2022 he says writing future history
00:08:59.100
that the american dollar crashed and there was no coming back from it and for the very first time
00:09:07.360
last night when i heard we were close we were at 18 million dollars last night when i went to bed
00:09:12.280
and my daughter came over and she sat with me and i said honey i
00:09:19.320
i uh my emotions are all so jumbled i said for the very first time
00:09:26.800
uh we're living in times history's history doesn't just repeat itself it is repeating itself
00:09:37.220
and for the very first time i can understand how people who are trying to save jews in germany
00:09:44.060
must have felt look just just let them go let them go here here's here's money here's money
00:09:52.900
by the way we're not doing that but families did here just take the money
00:10:00.180
at 20 million dollars we have we have all of the resources financially that we need
00:10:07.700
i have an airbus 380 sitting on a tarmac waiting to go chartered ready to go
00:10:15.060
i gotta get the people there i gotta get the people to the airport
00:10:19.960
we have all the money that we would possibly need
00:10:28.460
they'll be gone they're out of your hair they mean nothing in the end
00:10:32.800
to you they mean nothing they mean something to us
00:10:43.200
the airport uh was um i can't give you very much information on what we're doing and i'm really
00:10:54.180
sorry i will tell you once we get these people out i will tell you all everything that that is
00:10:59.300
happening we are we are working multiple angles let's just leave it at that
00:11:04.940
um but the airport is crucial uh for so many every every nationality is trying to get out of that one
00:11:15.760
airport and uh the federal government shut it down yesterday for 48 hours no planes can fly in
00:11:25.360
no planes can fly out unless they're theirs british uh i mean military
00:11:34.240
so that means all those people who are standing at the gate they have
00:11:40.560
and then maybe the federal government will open it back up
00:11:45.700
this is the first time the state department has ever run an evacuation
00:11:49.860
now think of that why why would we give this job to the state department
00:11:55.740
when it's a military operation probably all their success with benghazi and there's
00:12:00.780
won everyone over exactly right do you know all they have to do to settle those gates
00:12:05.320
all you have to do i am told and i believe this i am told there is nothing like the sound
00:12:13.580
of a warthog you know what those are the a10s those things are flying lead bathtubs
00:12:21.980
and they're tank killers and they tear they could tear an entire forest down cut it down to the
00:12:29.820
ground um and nothing sounds like those things we we failed to do this because of clinton our
00:12:39.340
secretary of state she would not do it they were begging the navy was begging let us strafe them
00:12:45.820
and you don't have to fire the guns you just take one of our jets and you fly them about 50 feet over
00:12:53.080
people's heads it breaks every window for a mile and you you fly those over the gates it will scare
00:13:02.540
the bat crap out of the taliban where why why can't we do that why why aren't we doing that
00:13:13.620
because the ends justify the means to these people it's peace it's not peace at any cost there is no peace
00:13:36.180
anyway i just i want you to know that we take i i see the donations i see the donations that have
00:13:48.300
come in at five dollars i've seen i know what this money means and we are going to do everything we
00:13:59.340
can to be as frugal with that money as possible but if it means spending a little more because that's
00:14:10.780
the only way to get somebody out we're going to but the goal was twenty million dollars and i i'll get
00:14:18.120
an update here at the top of the hour we're two hundred thousand dollars away from that goal
00:14:22.900
and it is sacred money and it is to bless not only these people but it will bring blessings to us as a
00:14:31.860
nation and from the bottom of my heart thank you i have never seen a better group of people ever
00:14:43.860
you are remarkable and you give me and millions of others hope
00:14:51.860
you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:15:01.860
it was just the oh my gosh i just got the update it is uh it was just three days ago it was wednesday
00:15:22.120
at this time that i first said we've got to help these people in afghanistan and i had been working
00:15:30.660
behind the scenes with my charity the nazarene fund to uh figure out a way we could go help these people
00:15:38.020
and especially because the nazarene fund's uh mission statement is for persecuted uh religious minorities
00:15:45.880
so anybody i don't care if they're muslim and they're the wrong muslim uh if they're about to be killed
00:15:53.920
can we help them we have a list of about 5 000 christians alone these christians are the ones that are really
00:16:02.480
marked for death because most of them are the christians that have converted in the last 20 years
00:16:08.300
that's on their paperwork and that's a death sentence they're in hiding now i said to you on wednesday
00:16:15.600
my team tells me for 5 000 people it's gonna take about 20 million they told me that on the air i didn't
00:16:22.580
even know uh that was a number that i didn't think we could make it i really didn't because we needed to
00:16:29.340
have the money right now uh let me give you the update i just got it 21 million 123 thousand five
00:16:40.760
hundred and forty one dollars and sixty cents unreal unreal there's been no outside media there's been
00:16:49.760
nothing that is just this audience that should give you great hope people's hearts have not closed
00:16:56.980
and we are not for what's going on in our country right now especially with afghanistan thank you so
00:17:05.560
much 21 million one hundred and twenty three thousand five hundred and forty one and sixty cents
00:17:12.900
we join now bill o'reilly who i think has a ton to say about what's happening in afghanistan and the
00:17:21.260
debacle hello bill how are you well i congratulations to your audience you know that's unprecedented i don't
00:17:28.960
think it's unreal but i don't think anybody on the radio in american history has raised that kind of
00:17:36.300
money for a charitable event that quickly so i hope you get a press release out on that
00:17:42.120
that would be interesting nobody will which b uh actually reports it yeah uh because you know how
00:17:51.900
corrupt yeah and you know what that's a that's not what we're doing it for and b i'm just they're
00:17:58.440
only going to cover it bill when they when they come up with an angle to smear me and to smear this
00:18:03.460
effort that that's the only time they'll report they've reported so it doesn't matter you actually
00:18:07.640
here they actually you actually have them in a corner so if they ignore it they're ignoring a
00:18:13.740
big news story because it's a news story i know all right and if they smear you because you're doing
00:18:18.920
it then we can come in real heavy against whoever would do that i don't think anybody would smear you
00:18:26.100
on this but the worthiness of getting it out would be that you would get it even more doing it no i
00:18:33.720
i know i know i know i know so anyway good job thank you and um now logistically you're going to
00:18:41.280
have problems you know that oh we are we already have people on the ground we have all of the planes
00:18:47.920
we had one on final approach at the airport yesterday when they close when the military closed it down
00:18:56.000
um and we had to go back and it's it's it's a absolute mess bill tell me is there a way this
00:19:04.900
could be worse could he have screwed this up any more than he has um i haven't even thought about that
00:19:15.300
you know i'm dealing with the reality of what is happening and there are two prongs to the story
00:19:24.100
there is the prong that's being widely covered in america that it's a humanitarian disaster
00:19:30.020
the second one by the way uh because the border which is not covered responsibly is the first
00:19:36.200
disaster so this is number two in seven months um but the story the second prong to the story is
00:19:45.120
is clear now to any intelligent person that joe biden cannot run this country
00:19:54.040
he just can't do the job so we now know that he himself lied and that's the word to the country
00:20:05.240
in july about the status of afghanistan now when you say the word lie you have to take into account
00:20:14.380
did he understand what he was saying that doesn't make it better there's a good chance he did he did not
00:20:21.380
my my position from i'd say month two on uh and you know this because we talk every friday my position
00:20:30.000
is that he is a diminished human being but he does not have the mental capacity
00:20:36.320
to do any job much less the president of the united states joe biden cannot retain information
00:20:45.520
all right so if you have ever worked with elderly people if you know elderly people you know that
00:20:52.620
that is common you can tell them something and then 10 minutes later they won't remember what you said
00:20:58.920
i do believe that is joe biden's state of mind right now so so let me ask you this let me ask you this
00:21:08.400
um did we do you think he ran this because i think he did i think this is him i don't you don't i don't
00:21:18.620
well that makes it worse i don't think he has run anything all right i don't think he knows what's
00:21:24.940
happening at the border i don't think he knows why the gas prices and food prices are up i don't think
00:21:31.580
he knows afghanistan one way or the other because he is diminished but the frightening thing is he's
00:21:39.240
hired people who should know but now we learn this week that he and his staff and that includes a
00:21:47.160
national security advisor jake sherman who looks like a five a 15 year old in in you know some kind
00:21:54.760
of student council meeting and anthony blinken who is just an imbecile all right he's hired these people
00:22:03.460
and they're in business to basically tell him what he wants to hear he still knows what he wants to hear
00:22:13.080
he just can't remember it three hours later i have to tell you bill with everything they said about
00:22:18.060
donald trump and the uh what is it the 25th amendment where you know we have to have him we have to have
00:22:23.980
him checked we have to have him checked he may not be stable it's not gonna happen i know it's not
00:22:28.300
gonna happen but i have to tell you the other thing that should happen is donald trump should run for
00:22:33.140
um a house seat become speaker of the house and lead the impeachment on on this guy this is the first
00:22:41.120
non-scandalish kind of you know uh uh you know monica lewinski kind of story um this is plain to the
00:22:52.240
american people and i think this is all impeachable i i think this is the most outrageous conduct
00:22:58.660
of a president i have ever seen ever well you're right in the sense that it's an outrageous display
00:23:06.240
of incompetence there's no doubt about that okay but he'd never be convicted ever uh in as far as
00:23:16.880
impeachment is concerned it's not going to happen there are too many democrats in that senate and
00:23:22.580
the house isn't going to impeach him until you mean like mit romney get back next year but what's
00:23:28.460
going to happen if you want to look ahead on this story is that after labor day there are going to be
00:23:33.940
congressional hearings on afghanistan and all the information that we've got this week and there'll be
00:23:40.880
more next week and into september that biden was warned his administration was warned all of that
00:23:50.040
will come out under oath in the congressional hearings now biden himself will not testify and he won't be
00:23:58.500
called because remember democrats control those here i know i know however any democrat sticking up for
00:24:06.040
biden signs their death warrant because as you just said most americans of both parties oh no this is a
00:24:15.220
colossal humanitarian disaster so it's not you know but beyond that beyond that bill this is a betrayal of
00:24:23.140
everything that america stands for this isn't just a humanitarian crisis those things happen and they
00:24:30.340
happen because they're bungled yeah but this one hang on just a minute hang on just a minute
00:24:35.620
this one we are betraying the the the principal value that we have when we send troops in we do not
00:24:44.740
leave people behind and we're leaving thousands behind it's an insult true it's all true but is it not a
00:24:55.020
betrayal of the american people yes live in texas new mexico oh yeah arizona and california yes to allow
00:25:03.080
millions of foreign nationals to stream into their neighborhoods yes it is isn't that a betrayal yes
00:25:09.400
yes it is yes it is yes it is so but you're not going to get anywhere there because the biden
00:25:15.440
administration will throw it right back into trump who wanted out too but trump do you honestly think
00:25:22.720
bill tell me because i know you know donald trump he'd he would have he would have had jets flying
00:25:29.460
over those people so fast i told you last friday about my conversation with him yep okay that he said
00:25:39.560
to the taliban leaders there are about 20 of them if you hurt an american or don't participate in a
00:25:45.800
coalition government where i'm going to kill you that's what he told me he said and i believe that i do
00:25:53.740
too so that precluded the taliban leadership from doing anything while he was in office but once they
00:26:04.980
calculated that biden would not do anything to them and he won't but here's the worst part of this
00:26:13.080
then everybody listening to us right now should understand this the best expert in the world on
00:26:19.240
afghanistan is general david petraeus the former cia director he told both the trump and biden
00:26:29.180
administrations if you are going to pull out of that country you must leave behind a residual force
00:26:37.440
of about 3 000 capable of launching airstrikes and protecting people who may be in danger by doing
00:26:47.400
rescue missions that's what petraeus told them now trump probably would have done that but i can't say for
00:26:57.940
sure but biden obviously did not and and this is the worst part not one blanking journalist has asked him
00:27:08.160
about that question why didn't you just leave 3 000 in bagram that could have responded to any
00:27:17.120
kind of a crisis quickly this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:27:25.660
yesterday the call is coming from inside the truck yesterday police received a phone call guy sitting
00:27:43.360
in his truck in front of the library of congress and he says i need to talk to joe biden on here
00:27:51.200
right now because this baby it's awful and i ain't hurting nobody joe i'm not pulling the trigger on this
00:27:56.500
thing i can't there's no way for me to blow this up only you can by shooting a bullet through my window
00:28:02.620
you're the only one that can do it joe i love this land and we've got a few options here
00:28:09.100
okay so immediately oh my gosh it's a domestic terrorist it's a it's a crazy man he's leading a
00:28:16.720
cult and he's got all of these people and i told my wife i'd be home on sunday and i'm looking for all
00:28:23.900
the other patriots who come out here and help me because i got it standing i got the foundation built
00:28:28.900
i'm here so he's there with his truck and he says it's full of explosives and he's now putting out
00:28:38.320
the call for all the other patriots to come out because he's got it i got it he's got it all he's
00:28:44.000
got it all worked out and uh i don't know about you but i don't think he had it i'm underwhelmed by
00:28:50.620
the plan so far so far but you haven't even told me his motivation so well he said i built a foundation
00:28:55.860
i'm here they know i'm here and i've done told them i've done told them that's a good way to
00:29:03.820
phrase that they cut off my health care i can't get the damn shots from my back no more but hey
00:29:09.480
they'll give them to superstar athletes they'll give it to them so he's upset i think they purchased
00:29:15.380
i think they do too that obamacare uh is uh hmm deciding who gets shots and who doesn't
00:29:23.520
isn't that interesting i don't know if superstar athletes is the right example for that but that
00:29:27.820
no but still an issue so he's upset about uh universal health care i'm nitpicking though too
00:29:33.320
much here the general point we understand yeah thank you thank you thank you thank you we're not
00:29:38.960
really i don't think we get down to the nitty-gritty in his manifesto here okay he said i'm up here in
00:29:45.400
washington dc and there's a capital over there there's another capital over here no there's really
00:29:50.480
one capital i got the police coming and i'm trying to get joe biden on this phone i'm parked here on
00:29:55.640
the sidewalk right beside this pretty stuff and they don't realize i can't set this thing off
00:30:00.140
but when a bullet hits these windows it ain't gonna be my fault and they've got the roads blocked they
00:30:06.720
know i'm here i see the snipers over on the building they better listen before they shoot better listen
00:30:11.420
before they shoot god knows there's a change shortage for a reason now here we get into the
00:30:20.180
manifesto okay i'm fascinated by this yeah i i wasn't that affected by the change shortage i don't
00:30:27.420
know about you i am he's starting to lock me in here okay all right well you're here more i need to
00:30:32.860
closer to the people you know yeah uh god knows there's a change shortage for a reason because i
00:30:39.300
got it all i got loads he's got all he's got all of it he's got all the change i got loads of it
00:30:46.340
biden and it don't take but half a roll of nickels to eat through a 50 caliber bullet so i think he took
00:30:55.260
rolls of nickels and taped them to the insides of the i don't know so but that could be actually a
00:31:01.480
serious thing because in all seriousness because if he's got an explosive and then he has like this
00:31:06.760
is shrapnel right i mean this would probably do some real damage no i think he was theory i think
00:31:11.820
he was that's a good point but i think what i think what he said is uh that he's using it not as
00:31:20.980
shrapnel but i think because he says it it only takes half a roll of nickels to eat through a 50 caliber
00:31:26.540
bullet so in other words you shoot and the row of the the roll of nickels will will stop that
00:31:35.420
i think i don't i don't know again we're getting down to the nitty-gritty okay um but he said i got
00:31:41.820
them all i got loads of it loads of it biden but i'm telling them them snipers come in they start
00:31:47.420
shooting this window out this bomb's going out because it was built by y'all's people by the people
00:31:53.900
y'all had in the military y'all were the ones who trade them trained the man to build it and he
00:31:59.720
blowed his legs off building it okay probably doesn't sound like the right person to be building
00:32:08.280
it frankly right so this thing's right and when he tells me that when the decibels hit a certain peak
00:32:14.420
it's gonna go it's gonna go don't do it biden don't do it the roads are blocking i'm waiting on
00:32:21.280
your cell phone call it's your call you got the option you can shoot me and kill me right here and
00:32:26.480
blow up two and a half city blocks and let the patriots out in the country just know it because
00:32:31.620
they ain't here to blow nobody up they ain't here to hurt nobody if i was i would tell the people to
00:32:38.080
leave i would have gunned this mother rode right up to your front door but i'm here for a reason joe i'm
00:32:45.360
here for a reason i'm here for the american people if you want to take me out take me out but when the
00:32:50.640
patriots come your ass is in trouble okay first of all i've never heard of anyone who's wanted to
00:32:57.380
actually talk to joe biden before so that is notable well no no no no no prime minister of
00:33:02.440
england tried for oh yes yeah yeah uh i would i'm not surprised i i almost feel like this guy would
00:33:08.600

00:33:15.640
num num hour for joe biden so he didn't get oh he was looking for his num nums uh anyway american
00:33:21.340

leave america this is supposed to be a place where people want to come let him come black white lesbian
00:33:50.440
gay lgbt it don't matter we're americans boy he sounds like a right wing nut job there doesn't he
00:34:00.120
look here's the thing he's crazy he's crazy um the fbi released today the report on january 6
00:34:08.900
there was no coordinated effort everything that the media has been saying has been now provable
00:34:17.920
as a lie yeah it's pretty amazing report actually yeah it is it says that there were a few people in
00:34:26.440
some of these groups that did seem to want to storm the capital but had no real plan as to what
00:34:31.480
they were going to do once they got in there everybody else was just like had no previous
00:34:35.860
communication no planning they were just it's essentially like it was what we said it was
00:34:40.740
which was a riot yeah that's what it was it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't an attempt to overthrow the
00:34:45.480
government no one there believed they were going to stop the counting of the votes and maybe they
00:34:50.280
maybe there were a few people but they weren't yeah they were like this guy is wrong they were like
00:34:54.240
this guy yeah exactly exactly it's to say it was nobody is wrong but to say that it was the general
00:35:00.120
theme of the audience uh or the people who were there or people who had just voted not for joe biden
00:35:07.000
and calling it an insurrection is bananas yes that's what it is and the fbi has just released that report
00:35:13.120
this morning go ahead try to find it um you can find it on my twitter at stew does america i've linked
00:35:20.420
to it there uh there is also uh something really uh really interesting going on um that we should
00:35:26.840
check in with cnn this is a cnn reporter at the airport in kabul listen to this we've been at the
00:35:35.820
airport now for 12 hours and on the airfield for eight hours and during the last eight hours the time
00:35:44.620
we've been waiting here we have not seen a single u.s flight evacuate people so one u.s flight take
00:35:53.920
off about half an hour to an hour ago but it was filled with u.s servicemen and women the people who
00:36:00.460
have been sitting on the tarmac for the last 10 hours have not been able to get on a flight which
00:36:08.520
means kate because we did the whole whole sort of process today that all the other bottlenecks are
00:36:14.840
now even more choked because if the flights aren't moving and the people aren't moving then they can't
00:36:21.180
bring in more people and so what's emerging quite clearly here is uh you know it's it's a chaotic
00:36:29.720
scene you have people lying on the floor with their babies it's incredibly loud here obviously we're on an
00:36:37.060
airfield there's all sorts of aircraft around uh mothers trying to put their hands over their
00:36:43.520
baby's ears it's you know it's one thing to be here for a couple of hours but these people have
00:36:48.040
been on the airfield for 10 hours and before that two days two days date to try to get through this
00:36:56.000
airport beginning with the crush and the beating at the taliban checkpoint and then the very very
00:37:04.140
process getting through the various u.s checkpoints before you get to the airfield stop and you know
00:37:12.680
this is cnn this is cnn reporting this um the the i can tell you the same could be said uh by me
00:37:26.600
we have i have my personal team on uh on the phone with people who are on the ground at the airport
00:37:36.480
i'm getting updates all the time from the airport uh and it is a mess it's a mess the u.s soldiers are
00:37:45.280
so frustrated and it's what she's saying there is any of the u.s so any plane that the government
00:37:56.360
is doing is not coming in and we're supposed to be bringing soldiers in but we would bring those
00:38:04.620
planes in and then we would fly them back to another base full of the people that we're trying
00:38:11.480
to evacuate that's not happening so the government is in a log jam who would have seen this coming
00:38:21.220
uh there's another one here can we play the one about the throwing the babies over the razor wire
00:38:28.320
which is one of the ones you guys pulled this this is another incredible one this is clarissa ward from
00:38:33.180
afghanistan you know i think what's sort of so striking about this is that the people who are
00:38:41.740
right now loading their babies over razor wire hoping that an american soldier might catch it
00:38:49.300
so that they could have a better future those people were allies of the u.s they worked with the u.s
00:38:57.920
they risked their lives to active translators and facilitators and drivers and cooks and at the
00:39:05.920
end of it this is the thanks they get and i understand that everyone is working really hard
00:39:13.420
to try to evacuate these people now but honestly from what we're seeing on the ground and in the eyes
00:39:20.880
of many who i am talking to on the ground it feels like too little too late because the scale
00:39:29.100
of this mission is now enormous beyond the capacity of any military but even beyond the capacity of the
00:39:38.200
u.s military and the six or eight thousand troops who are now here and because there's this tight
00:39:45.780
time frame by which this has to be executed it's just i'm sitting here kate for 12 hours in the
00:39:56.280
airport eight hours on the airfield and i haven't seen a single u.s plane take off how on earth are you
00:40:03.880
going to evacuate 50 000 people in the next two weeks it just it it can't happen jeez uh pray
00:40:15.400
for us i have so much to say and i can't say it right now but please pray for the nazarene fund
00:40:25.480
please pray for every one of our operatives they are on the ground at the airport they are in the air
00:40:33.720
in planes they are outside of the airport and they are all over uh afghanistan you know i when this
00:40:44.340
started i said you watch for the person that will be on the stamp and remember we never saw one you
00:40:50.880
remember that stew i said look for the people that will be heroic and will be on the stamp of the new
00:40:58.240
country right and it never happened never happened i have seen so many people that should be on the stamp
00:41:06.360
of afghanistan and it's all happening now because we trained them to be this way we gave them the
00:41:13.740
opportunity to be free and you know what they're all women they're all women i saw a teacher today
00:41:22.120
said i teach girls and i'm in an all-girls school and i will die for those girls they are going to
00:41:29.860
and i will die i saw three women this week out with signs right in front of the taliban protesting
00:41:37.060
for their jobs and their rights i have i have text messaged with the first mayor of afghanistan this
00:41:46.740
week that's a woman right she's a woman yeah first female mayor in afghanistan she says they're coming
00:41:54.980
