The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Chad Robichaux

00:00:00.000 Today was sarcastic. I mean, I didn't think it was too sarcastic. I have no, I have no maximum level for my desire for sarcasm.

00:00:08.740 Well, we might, I think we might hit it. We might hit some people's maximum.

00:00:12.940 Oh, yeah. Oh, some people were dead. Their alerts were going off all over the country in the first segment.

00:00:17.980 Yeah, this is, well, I was talking about, thank you for joining us. I was talking about the Biden administration.

00:00:26.960 And gosh darn it, where did I put all those top secret documents?

00:00:30.000 And the fact that McCarthy's like, God, the hypocrisy. Shut up about the hypocrisy.

00:00:36.340 We got it. We got it.

00:00:39.940 So I explained what's really going on there.

00:00:42.860 Also, in the next hour, based on something else, I kind of, I kind of expose what people really mean when they're like, I just don't care anymore.

00:00:52.320 That's not entirely true. You'll hear the explanation.

00:00:55.860 Then Chad Robichaux, who is just a real life Tom Cruise, comes in.

00:01:00.800 He's got a new book called Saving Aziz.

00:01:02.720 It is what, this is finally the official story of what happened.

00:01:08.400 We raised all of that money to free these people in Afghanistan.

00:01:12.140 This is how it was done.

00:01:15.080 So this is really your story, Saving Aziz.

00:01:18.680 You'll have to have to listen in the podcast.

00:01:21.280 By the way, also Saturday's podcast, if you missed it, is Richard Dreyfuss.

00:01:25.740 And it is a great conversation.

00:01:28.700 You may not agree with him on everything, but a great conversation.

00:01:31.120 Today's podcast brought to you by Bilt.

00:01:35.820 I can have a Bilt right now.

00:01:40.340 Bilt bars are delicious.

00:01:42.980 They are delicious.

00:01:44.040 They have about 130 calories.

00:01:46.580 This is one of their new kind of like marshmallow puffs.

00:01:50.200 This is mud pie.

00:01:52.480 Oh my God.

00:01:53.160 Okay, 130 calories, 4 grams of net carbs, 17 grams of protein.

00:02:00.560 It's amazing.

00:02:01.640 You're going to love it.

00:02:02.640 And it's got the protein in it, so it's good for you.

00:02:06.180 You know what I mean?

00:02:06.740 It's like eating a candy bar, but then not.

00:02:10.720 Your wife doesn't look at you and give you the dirty look when you are...

00:02:16.440 What?

00:02:17.380 It's a Bilt bar.

00:02:29.140 I am a method actor.

00:02:30.960 You're a method actor?

00:02:42.380 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:53.740 So Kevin McCarthy, he's come out and said, the discovery of more classified documents in

00:03:03.960 President Joe Biden's possession, oh, that highlights the hypocrisy when inside the federal

00:03:10.020 government.

00:03:11.220 Yeah, okay.

00:03:11.700 It does do that.

00:03:12.660 It does.

00:03:13.560 Yeah.

00:03:13.800 We...

00:03:14.120 But is this...

00:03:15.100 Is this new?

00:03:16.120 Did we...

00:03:17.080 Haven't we always said this?

00:03:18.540 Think of Donald Trump.

00:03:21.080 I mean, I could go back in time.

00:03:23.760 Think of Ronald Reagan would have done that.

00:03:28.400 Think of Eisenhower if he would have done that.

00:03:31.800 I mean, you can go all...

00:03:32.880 Think of Lincoln if he would have done that.

00:03:35.280 This is the same story.

00:03:37.860 It's the same story.

00:03:40.080 We got it.

00:03:42.160 Now, why is this story happening?

00:03:46.040 Well, let me give you...

00:03:47.320 They found more documents over the weekend.

00:03:49.940 Now, remember, the White House said, we're absolutely done with documents.

00:03:53.700 They found everything.

00:03:55.220 They found more over the weekend.

00:03:58.860 At another house.

00:03:59.880 How many houses...

00:04:01.040 This guy is like Ronald McDonald.

00:04:03.300 Ronald McDonald's constantly building another Ronald McDonald house.

00:04:06.900 How many houses does that clown need?

00:04:08.960 How many houses does the president need?

00:04:10.640 He's got more houses.

00:04:12.080 So they went to another house, and they're like, whoops.

00:04:15.040 Okay, it's not exactly over.

00:04:16.720 But these documents really don't matter.

00:04:20.400 Okay.

00:04:21.180 All right.

00:04:22.380 Well, they're classified documents, so I'm pretty sure that would matter.

00:04:27.880 Now, they went to Wilmington, and when I say they, they went to Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, that's where his other house is.

00:04:42.480 And when I say they, I mean the same people that went to, you know, his foundation with the university.

00:04:49.420 So who are they?

00:04:51.640 His attorneys.

00:04:53.960 Now, this started back in, what was it, November or October, where the president's attorneys went to his office to pack up stuff and close that office.

00:05:11.100 His attorneys.

00:05:12.140 Now, that is the world's most expensive moving company.

00:05:15.820 Okay.

00:05:16.840 Why would you have your attorneys do that?

00:05:20.740 Well, I could provide a thesis.

00:05:22.960 Let's say you know you have something you shouldn't have, and maybe you've done something you shouldn't have done.

00:05:34.440 You go to your attorneys first, because to them, you don't have to say, I know this guy.

00:05:43.320 What you say to them is, you guys can't talk, right?

00:05:46.360 I mean, legally, everything I say to you, you can't repeat it, right?

00:05:51.980 Right.

00:05:52.680 Good.

00:05:53.440 I got all these stop-secret documents.

00:05:55.820 Okay.

00:05:56.240 There's a bunch of them over there.

00:05:58.540 There might be a bunch of them.

00:06:00.040 I mean, I think I might have some in Sandy Berger's socks.

00:06:03.080 I don't know.

00:06:03.680 So, can you guys go in there, and if you find them, just do what you have to do.

00:06:09.140 I don't want to know about it.

00:06:11.000 Okay.

00:06:12.900 The president has said, last week, the attorneys told me, you know, to not even ask about it.

00:06:19.800 Oh.

00:06:21.840 Hmm.

00:06:23.440 But did you guys talk about it before they said that to you?

00:06:26.980 So, the attorneys go in, they find it, and they immediately call and cooperate.

00:06:32.180 You know, that is big of Joe Biden.

00:06:35.000 Now, that's why he had the attorneys there.

00:06:37.840 Now, go to his house.

00:06:39.820 But I have it with my Corvette.

00:06:42.100 Ah, yeah.

00:06:42.720 We're going to come back to that.

00:06:44.400 That is, like, the safest place on earth.

00:06:47.640 You have an old Corvette?

00:06:50.120 But I'm telling you, you can't break into the garage door opener.

00:06:54.900 Nobody has one of those.

00:06:56.580 Nobody has one of those.

00:06:57.580 You can't just...

00:06:58.580 And get in because the garage door opens.

00:07:03.100 It's locked.

00:07:05.260 You need some sort of, like, I don't...

00:07:07.780 This is even beyond quantum computing to be able to get past one of those Sears garage door openers.

00:07:16.320 So, we're going to come back to that one.

00:07:18.240 So, then, his other house this weekend, after it's all out in the open, his attorneys are there at the other house.

00:07:25.520 Now, I don't know why they haven't done all of the places they could look, you know, at once, maybe in November.

00:07:35.900 Hey, we found them in the basement.

00:07:37.160 Do you have any in, you know, next to your Corvette?

00:07:40.220 Well, there is that big box that's just classified and has big red tape all over it.

00:07:45.640 Yeah, we should probably go there.

00:07:47.020 Do you have any other houses that...

00:07:49.160 I don't know why.

00:07:51.000 I don't know why, but they're fully cooperating.

00:07:54.680 Okay.

00:07:56.520 Now, let's ask two questions here.

00:08:00.560 Let's ask two questions.

00:08:03.120 When something says top secret, to get a top secret classification, what do they do before you get that little card?

00:08:15.840 Stu.

00:08:17.640 They usually do a background check?

00:08:19.380 Background check.

00:08:20.080 Okay, good, good, good.

00:08:21.180 What are they looking for?

00:08:23.060 Maybe criminal activity.

00:08:24.720 Criminal activity.

00:08:25.800 Some way you could be compromised.

00:08:27.680 Compromised, sure.

00:08:28.940 Or, you know, I just toured the Soviet Union, you know.

00:08:32.820 They're looking for anything that you've done that shows that you are on, let's say, not America's side.

00:08:41.160 Or, you have any friends that might be, let's say, not on America's side.

00:08:48.620 Or, you have any business dealings with some people that, let's just say, are not on America's side.

00:08:54.680 And then you also look, final thing is, is he compromised with money, with drugs?

00:09:03.180 Is there a sex scandal?

00:09:05.020 Is he prone to a honeypot thing?

00:09:09.320 Okay.

00:09:10.000 All right.

00:09:10.800 That's what they're looking for.

00:09:12.560 Because you can so easily need money.

00:09:16.480 And then somebody can come out and go, listen, I'm Boris, but I absolutely love America.

00:09:23.820 And I just want to see the, I want to see top secret document because I want to show you how American I am.

00:09:30.940 I'll never say anything to Soviet Union.

00:09:33.880 Okay.

00:09:34.580 All right.

00:09:35.020 That guy could approach you and go, so you need a little money, maybe, little heroin.

00:09:41.940 Okay.

00:09:42.280 I can help, but I want to see top secret document.

00:09:47.760 That's what they're worried about.

00:09:50.000 Okay.

00:09:52.060 Hmm.

00:09:54.180 Now, wait a minute.

00:09:55.100 This is in the president or vice president's house.

00:09:57.800 At the time, he was the vice president, and he had them there while he was vice president.

00:10:02.540 And then he kept them there while he was president.

00:10:07.440 Okay.

00:10:08.000 So they've been in there for a while.

00:10:10.180 Who else has been in his house?

00:10:14.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:10:17.200 A guy who is constantly asking for money for drugs and hookers.

00:10:21.180 A guy who is doing shady business deals with China and with Russia and Ukraine.

00:10:28.900 Wait a minute.

00:10:29.920 That's exactly the kind of guy.

00:10:33.580 We don't want to have access to top secret documents.

00:10:38.440 Yeah, but he was almost never there.

00:10:41.380 Well, let's go back to that ultra secure garage.

00:10:46.300 That's the house that Hunter Biden was renting from his dad.

00:10:52.720 Not now with his art money.

00:10:55.640 He was renting it from his dad when he had no money.

00:11:00.020 Remember?

00:11:00.960 I got no money.

00:11:03.400 That's why she's pregnant.

00:11:05.160 I couldn't afford a condom.

00:11:07.840 Oh, poor guy.

00:11:09.680 So his dad said, just stay at my house.

00:11:12.560 I'm not living there.

00:11:13.620 You just stay at my house.

00:11:16.080 Oh, my gosh.

00:11:17.240 What a great dad.

00:11:18.700 And he wanted to make sure his son grew up a little bit.

00:11:22.060 And you're going to have to work for it a little bit.

00:11:24.680 You know, this house, the most expensive rent in this area is $6,000 a month.

00:11:32.200 So I'm going to cut you a deal because you're my son.

00:11:35.080 You just pay $50,000 a month.

00:11:39.500 But dad, remember, I couldn't afford the condom.

00:11:43.340 Right.

00:11:44.180 Well, this is a condominium.

00:11:47.580 More letters.

00:11:49.080 Got to be a little more expensive.

00:11:51.880 $50,000 to his desperate son.

00:11:56.360 Now, where does his desperate, I don't have any money son get that money?

00:12:02.000 Well, don't worry.

00:12:03.640 He's got a job with, like, Burisma.

00:12:06.660 He's doing deals over in China.

00:12:09.740 Completely his deal.

00:12:11.600 No big deal.

00:12:13.340 No big deal.

00:12:15.740 Joe Biden doesn't know a thing about it.

00:12:18.780 Nothing.

00:12:19.960 He's not getting any money from it.

00:12:23.060 He's just trying to help out his poor wayward son.

00:12:26.660 Giving him access to his house so he has a place to rest his angelic head.

00:12:32.000 While dad charges him $50,000 a month.

00:12:38.240 And what's in that house?

00:12:40.600 The boxes of top secret documents.

00:12:44.300 Right there next to the garage.

00:12:47.540 So you don't need MacGyver.

00:12:50.840 You don't need some genius to go,

00:12:53.840 How do we break in past that Sears robotic arm?

00:13:00.240 How do we do it?

00:13:02.700 Because you already have a drug addict inside.

00:13:07.480 Who's writing his family going,

00:13:09.940 Yeah, at least dad doesn't take half your money.

00:13:13.660 Remember, he's really bitter and angry with his dad at that time.

00:13:19.940 He wants his dad to suffer.

00:13:22.440 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:29.180 On the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills,

00:13:34.640 Josh Allen.

00:13:35.780 Yeah.

00:13:36.760 Good job.

00:13:37.300 Who, of course, was responding to what happened to his teammate.

00:13:43.540 Damar Hamlin.

00:13:44.920 Almost said Lamar Alexander.

00:13:47.040 But yes, Damar Hamlin is right.

00:13:49.360 I wanted to see if you were paying attention.

00:13:52.500 Anyway.

00:13:53.840 You almost said the senator.

00:13:55.960 Forget it.

00:13:56.720 So he's responding to all of that.

00:14:01.820 And he says over the weekend,

00:14:04.780 I haven't been the most devoted guy.

00:14:09.540 But watching it,

00:14:11.600 watching what happened on the field has moved me deeply.

00:14:17.180 And, you know, spirituality, higher power.

00:14:21.560 And, you know, you don't believe in that.

00:14:22.600 I'm not going to judge.

00:14:24.380 I don't want to offend.

00:14:25.240 Well, you know,

00:14:27.260 when you can witness something like this,

00:14:31.480 and you have to be,

00:14:34.940 I am so offended by what he said.

00:14:38.220 Shut up.

00:14:40.080 Shut up.

00:14:41.480 Stop trying to couch everything.

00:14:43.540 I mean, we get it.

00:14:45.360 We get it.

00:14:46.120 And, you know, you can couch it like,

00:14:48.140 hey, I'm not trying to preach to you,

00:14:49.500 but, man, this has affected me deeply.

00:14:54.680 I am, I mean, I'm going back to praying and everything else.

00:14:59.340 Well, I'm not.

00:15:00.140 That's poppycock.

00:15:01.380 Okay, cool.

00:15:02.940 Move on with your life.

00:15:05.900 There's a real problem in America when everybody,

00:15:08.660 when Christians are all apologizing all the time for everything.

00:15:13.060 There's a real problem in the country.

00:15:15.920 And it's, it comes from this wokeness bull crap.

00:15:21.440 You, you don't have to apologize to say,

00:15:24.920 nope, dude over there.

00:15:29.280 Definitely a woman.

00:15:31.200 You don't have to apologize.

00:15:33.460 That one you should explain.

00:15:36.520 Wait a minute.

00:15:37.740 What?

00:15:39.020 That one you should explain.

00:15:40.940 Especially if you're saying that to my third grader in glass as a fact.

00:15:49.940 I don't know.

00:15:51.900 Now maybe we should have that conversation.

00:15:55.300 All of this stuff is weakening us.

00:15:57.860 And as I was saying last half hour,

00:16:00.160 when people say, I don't care.

00:16:03.440 I just don't care anymore.

00:16:04.920 What you're saying is, I've given up because I know nothing's going to change.

00:16:13.300 Well, first of all, that's not true.

00:16:15.900 A lot has changed.

00:16:18.060 A lot has changed.

00:16:20.760 Just, just look at the great reset.

00:16:23.200 They're going into the, you know, world economic forum.

00:16:26.420 They're going in and they are changing all kinds of stuff this year.

00:16:32.420 Because really, honestly, of you.

00:16:36.460 You think you don't have an impact?

00:16:38.720 A year ago, last week, we published the book, The Great Reset.

00:16:42.360 Nobody was talking about ESGs.

00:16:43.900 Nobody even knew what it was.

00:16:45.600 Nobody was talking about The Great Reset.

00:16:47.680 Nobody even knew what it was.

00:16:49.340 And if anybody was talking about, they were saying it was a conspiracy theory.

00:16:53.520 Well, now guess what the World Economic Forum is doing?

00:16:57.720 They're changing their language again.

00:17:00.840 They're in retreat.

00:17:01.920 Because people know you made a difference.

00:17:06.340 So don't give up on things because things are changing.

00:17:09.640 I understand giving up on things like, yeah, well, they're going to pay a heavy price because

00:17:15.100 there's going to be a hearing on that.

00:17:18.020 That's not going to happen.

00:17:19.560 It's not going to happen.

00:17:20.400 But on things like our schools, look at what's happened in the last year.

00:17:27.720 Look what's happened in the last year in our schools.

00:17:31.500 A lot has changed.

00:17:33.320 Let me ask you this.

00:17:36.080 Have you, would you have heard this a year ago?

00:17:41.800 Now, this is at the Oxford Union.

00:17:48.120 And this happened during a debate at the Oxford Union.

00:17:51.060 Remember, universities all woke.

00:17:55.700 Listen to this statement.

00:17:57.720 It's gone viral over the last weekend.

00:18:00.880 Listen to this.

00:18:02.260 Now, I want to talk to those of you who are woke and who are open to rational argument.

00:18:09.200 A small minority, I accept.

00:18:10.720 Because one of the tenets of wokeness is, of course, that your feelings matter more than

00:18:16.860 the truth.

00:18:17.720 But I believe in you.

00:18:19.000 I believe there are those of you here who are woke, who are open to rational argument.

00:18:22.740 So let me make one.

00:18:24.180 We are told that your generation cares more than any other about one issue in particular.

00:18:29.980 And that issue is climate change.

00:18:32.220 We're told that many of you suffer from climate anxiety.

00:18:36.740 You wish to save the planet.

00:18:38.400 Now, and for tonight, and tonight only, I will join you.

00:18:42.720 I will join you in worshipping at the feet of St. Greta of climate change.

00:18:48.580 Let us all accept right here, right now, that we are living through a climate emergency

00:18:53.700 and our stocks of polar bears are running extremely low.

00:18:57.440 I join you in this view.

00:18:59.380 I truly do.

00:19:00.720 Now, what are we to do about this huge problem facing humanity?

00:19:04.940 What can we in Britain do?

00:19:06.420 We can only do one thing.

00:19:09.160 You know why?

00:19:10.160 This country is responsible for 2% of global carbon emissions.

00:19:14.740 Which means that if Britain was to sink into the sea right now, it would make absolutely

00:19:20.520 no difference to the issue of climate change.

00:19:23.120 You know why?

00:19:23.620 Because the future of the climate is going to be decided in Asia and in Latin America

00:19:28.360 by poor people who couldn't give a s*** about saving the planet.

00:19:32.640 You know why?

00:19:33.540 Because they're poor.

00:19:35.860 Because they're poor.

00:19:37.200 I come from Russia, which is not a poor country.

00:19:39.480 It's a middle-income country.

00:19:40.480 20% of households in Russia do not have an indoor toilet.

00:19:46.540 What they have is an outdoor toilet.

00:19:49.720 And I don't mean one of those nice port-a-loos that we get here.

00:19:53.260 I don't even mean a Glastonbury port-a-loo.

00:19:55.360 I mean a wooden shack with a hole in the ground that holds a collected, fermented memory of

00:20:02.740 the last 10,000 visits.

00:20:05.540 How many of you are going to go home tonight and say, let's rip out our bathroom and erect

00:20:11.000 a Siberian s*** house in the back garden?

00:20:12.900 And if you're not, why should they?

00:20:17.720 120 million people in China do not have enough food.

00:20:22.680 I don't mean that they don't get dessert.

00:20:25.240 I mean they suffer from malnutrition.

00:20:28.100 That means that their immune system is breaking down because they don't have enough food.

00:20:33.580 You're not going to get them to stay poor.

00:20:36.880 Imagine you're Xi Jinping, the leader of China.

00:20:39.580 When you were 10 years old, there was a revolution.

00:20:42.900 A cultural revolution in your country.

00:20:44.620 And people came and they put your father in prison.

00:20:49.240 Your mother had to denounce him.

00:20:51.700 Your sister killed herself.

00:20:54.140 And you, no longer enjoying the protection of your formerly powerful father,

00:20:58.640 were sent to a village where you lived in a cave house.

00:21:01.540 And here you are, decades later.

00:21:04.580 You have clawed your way up the bloody and greasy pole of Chinese politics

00:21:09.920 to be the undisputed supreme leader of the very communist party that destroyed your family.

00:21:16.540 And you know that the main thing you have to do to survive and to stay in power

00:21:23.840 is to deliver the one thing that the people of China want.

00:21:28.960 Prosperity.

00:21:30.300 Economic growth.

00:21:31.140 Where do you think climate change ranks on Xi Jinping's list of priorities?

00:21:37.680 A third of all children who live in extreme poverty in the world live in India.

00:21:44.140 That means they are starving and dying of preventable disease.

00:21:47.960 Now, about 15 months ago, my wife got pregnant.

00:21:51.740 Not me, because we're old school.

00:21:53.080 And for nine months, we talked about what a boy would look like.

00:22:06.180 What he might do when he grows up.

00:22:08.440 We looked at baby scans and videos on YouTube

00:22:11.020 about what the fetus looks like at nine months and 12 months and 20 months.

00:22:15.280 And eventually he was born.

00:22:16.800 And he is this cute little bundle of joy.

00:22:19.300 He's cuter than about 80% of puppies.

00:22:21.880 Right.

00:22:23.080 Now, if you said to me that I had a choice,

00:22:27.080 either my son had a serious risk of starving

00:22:30.520 or dying from a preventable disease in the next year,

00:22:33.820 or I could press a button and he would live.

00:22:38.600 He would go to school.

00:22:40.820 He would bring his first girlfriend home.

00:22:43.000 He'd go to university and graduate and become a woke idiot.

00:22:45.960 And then he'd get a job and get married and have children and become a man.

00:22:56.140 But all I have to do is press this button.

00:22:59.620 And for every day of my son's life,

00:23:01.780 a giant plume of CO2 is going to get released into the atmosphere.

00:23:06.400 Now, you're all very young and most of you are not parents.

00:23:08.400 Let me tell you something.

00:23:09.700 There is not a parent in the world who would not smash that button so hard their hand bled.

00:23:14.880 You are not going to get these people to stay poor.

00:23:18.840 You're not even going to get them to not want to be richer.

00:23:21.800 And so, I put it to you, ladies and gentlemen,

00:23:25.800 there is only one thing we can do in this country to stop climate change.

00:23:29.340 And that is to make scientific and technological breakthroughs

00:23:33.020 that will create the clean energy that is not only clean, but also cheap.

00:23:38.020 And the only thing that wokeness has to offer in exchange

00:23:41.680 is to brainwash bright young minds like you

00:23:45.260 to believe that you are victims,

00:23:47.560 to believe that you have no agency,

00:23:49.740 to believe that what you must do to improve the world

00:23:53.800 is to complain,

00:23:55.600 is to protest,

00:23:57.440 is to throw soup on paintings.

00:24:03.620 And we on this side of the house

00:24:05.820 are not on this side of the house

00:24:07.660 because we do not wish to improve the world.

00:24:09.980 We sit on this side of the house

00:24:11.840 because we know that the way to improve the world

00:24:15.260 is to work,

00:24:16.860 is to create,

00:24:18.340 it is to build.

00:24:19.740 And the problem with woke culture

00:24:22.540 is that it has trained too many young minds like yours

00:24:25.480 to forget about that.

00:24:27.980 Thank you very much.

00:24:29.300 If that is not

00:24:31.200 clear and understandable,

00:24:38.480 wokeness does nothing

00:24:40.340 to change the world.

00:24:42.100 I want to read you the foreword,

00:24:53.900 just a bit of it,

00:24:54.840 from Saving Aziz.

00:24:56.360 I first met Chad Robichaux in 2016

00:25:00.820 through a mutual friend,

00:25:01.900 David Barton.

00:25:02.820 I had heard about his multiple deployments in Afghanistan,

00:25:05.880 his struggles with PTSD and suicide

00:25:07.660 after he came home.

00:25:08.900 Our shared love of history,

00:25:11.540 independence,

00:25:12.540 and dependence on our faith

00:25:14.100 to transcend the dark valleys of our past

00:25:17.180 and desire to use our struggles

00:25:18.960 to pay it forward,

00:25:19.860 these things instantly bonded us.

00:25:22.740 I could tell Chad was the real deal.

00:25:25.180 A man of his word,

00:25:26.700 he was a man of honor.

00:25:28.720 I had him on my show several times

00:25:30.300 to share his story

00:25:31.340 and to speak on veterans care

00:25:32.860 and how his organization,

00:25:34.660 the Mighty Oaks Foundation,

00:25:35.760 was working to combat veteran PTSD and suicide.

00:25:39.800 Upon hearing his words,

00:25:41.100 I said,

00:25:41.400 sign me up,

00:25:42.160 my wife and I and our charity,

00:25:44.480 Mercury One,

00:25:45.300 became a supporter.

00:25:46.540 We remained in touch over the years

00:25:48.420 and when the debacle began unfolding

00:25:51.200 in Afghanistan,

00:25:53.680 I didn't give the decision a second thought.

00:25:56.280 Chad and I locked arms

00:25:58.220 and dove in together

00:25:59.360 to do what we really needed to be done.

00:26:01.360 We did what our government wasn't doing

00:26:06.020 and that's saving as many people as possible

00:26:08.360 from the bloodlust of the Taliban.

00:26:10.820 Most of these were SIVs,

00:26:12.580 meaning they were qualified

00:26:13.780 for special immigrant visas

00:26:15.340 because they helped our country

00:26:16.660 and American troops

00:26:17.940 when they were deployed.

00:26:19.820 It goes on for a couple of more pages

00:26:21.900 and let me just give you this.

00:26:23.960 I, like Chad,

00:26:25.380 while this crisis made me ashamed of our government,

00:26:29.040 it also made me ponder

00:26:30.280 about the American people.

00:26:32.840 I was at the point

00:26:33.760 where I was absolutely hopeless about America.

00:26:36.780 I thought,

00:26:37.360 we're just not going to make it.

00:26:39.280 But then I saw people

00:26:40.260 from all walks of life

00:26:41.480 and all income levels

00:26:42.820 and all parties come together

00:26:44.380 and say,

00:26:44.860 this is wrong

00:26:45.820 and we'll do something about it.

00:26:47.960 My heart swelled.

00:26:48.900 Our national honor

00:26:50.360 may have meant nothing

00:26:52.020 to those in Washington,

00:26:53.700 but it meant everything

00:26:54.960 to countless Americans.

00:26:56.860 For the first time in my life,

00:26:58.420 I felt if the government and elites

00:27:00.140 would just get out of the way of the people,

00:27:02.060 we'd solve a lot of our problems.

00:27:05.760 This is a book

00:27:07.180 that tells the story

00:27:09.640 of what happened in Afghanistan,

00:27:11.440 and I mean really in Afghanistan.

00:27:15.120 Aziz was the interpreter for Chad

00:27:18.160 while he was over in Afghanistan.

00:27:19.960 For how many tours did you do over there?

00:27:22.120 I did eight,

00:27:22.840 and all eight were with Aziz

00:27:24.900 because of a very unique scenario

00:27:26.600 into my job specifically

00:27:28.120 and the way our relationship was.

00:27:29.900 This story is also a story of God

00:27:32.500 and the miracles that happen

00:27:34.240 when you just do all that you can do

00:27:37.300 and then doors just start to open.

00:27:38.960 It's pretty crazy.

00:27:40.060 Yeah, I think it's just an example

00:27:41.740 of when you're obedient

00:27:42.500 to God's burdening of your heart

00:27:43.940 and you step forward in faith.

00:27:45.220 You know, the Bible says

00:27:46.160 in 2 Corinthians 5-7

00:27:49.500 that we walk by faith

00:27:50.980 and not by sight.

00:27:51.780 We see things that look impossible

00:27:53.080 and they are impossible at times,

00:27:54.880 but, you know,

00:27:55.760 these are things that God

00:27:57.220 is capable of doing.

00:27:58.740 You know, somebody said to me,

00:28:00.580 I've had several Christians say to me,

00:28:02.960 you know,

00:28:04.000 Glenn, what are we going to do?

00:28:04.820 What are we going to do?

00:28:05.440 And I'm like, well, you know,

00:28:06.640 I think the only thing that will happen

00:28:07.900 is if we turn to God

00:28:08.920 and we really need to turn back to God.

00:28:11.040 And they're like, yeah, yeah, I know,

00:28:12.260 but what are we going to do?

00:28:12.880 And I keep wanting to say,

00:28:15.260 you know,

00:28:16.100 the guy you look at as Savior

00:28:18.860 and me too,

00:28:20.380 he rose from the dead.

00:28:23.000 That's a little harder to do

00:28:24.780 than saving the country.

00:28:26.320 I mean, I think God could take this on

00:28:28.720 if we all just rededicate ourselves to him.

00:28:32.140 Well, you know, this story,

00:28:33.680 and if I could get one thing

00:28:35.280 out of this story,

00:28:35.920 saving Aziz,

00:28:36.540 it is to tell that the story

00:28:38.280 of God doing miracles today

00:28:39.760 because what happened

00:28:41.500 in the rescues

00:28:43.320 of 17,000 people,

00:28:44.740 by the way,

00:28:45.180 by just a handful of civilians

00:28:46.480 who had no money to do it,

00:28:48.360 had never done

00:28:49.040 humanitarian operation

00:28:49.900 like that before

00:28:50.660 and were not

00:28:52.080 with the government anymore

00:28:52.960 is a story

00:28:54.820 of a divine miracle.

00:28:56.200 I'm not smart enough

00:28:57.020 or capable enough.

00:28:57.880 I have the experience

00:28:58.720 and background

00:28:59.160 to do these things,

00:28:59.840 but I'm not smart enough,

00:29:00.580 capable enough

00:29:01.180 to pull that off.

00:29:02.340 It was too big of a thing.

00:29:04.300 It is amazing

00:29:05.420 because you went

00:29:06.600 and you actually

00:29:08.220 were over there

00:29:09.280 and you were doing the work,

00:29:11.440 but like you said,

00:29:12.700 you didn't have the money

00:29:13.700 and I was over here

00:29:14.920 raising money,

00:29:15.900 not connecting yet,

00:29:17.560 raising the money.

00:29:18.820 Our audience was given money

00:29:20.620 and I was saying internally,

00:29:21.880 we don't have any guys

00:29:23.280 on the other side

00:29:24.080 of the fence.

00:29:24.940 Right.

00:29:25.120 How are we going

00:29:25.680 to get them

00:29:26.600 to these planes?

00:29:28.260 And that's when we connected

00:29:29.640 and it was amazing.

00:29:32.140 Organization after organization

00:29:33.680 all brought puzzle pieces together.

00:29:35.800 That's right.

00:29:36.240 That we were all short of.

00:29:38.180 Yeah, it is.

00:29:39.500 It was a perfectly orchestrated

00:29:40.760 series of events

00:29:41.860 that if any one of the,

00:29:43.000 I've been speaking

00:29:43.580 a lot about this.

00:29:44.300 If any one,

00:29:44.780 looking back now,

00:29:45.580 if any one of these pieces

00:29:46.680 didn't work,

00:29:48.020 fell or the door didn't open,

00:29:49.700 the whole thing didn't work.

00:29:50.820 I mean,

00:29:51.200 when we went there,

00:29:52.200 you know,

00:29:52.520 obviously my original intent

00:29:54.400 was to go rescue my friend.

00:29:55.720 You know,

00:29:55.880 I did eight deployments

00:29:58.380 with Aziz.

00:29:59.360 He was so dear to me.

00:30:01.440 And he saved your life

00:30:02.620 several times.

00:30:03.220 He saved my life

00:30:03.740 on three occasions.

00:30:04.720 So to give a little background

00:30:05.520 of how we worked,

00:30:06.240 I was in a JSOC task force

00:30:08.700 to join special operations

00:30:09.620 command task force

00:30:10.400 with one of our premier

00:30:11.560 special operations units.

00:30:13.520 And I was what's called

00:30:14.440 an AFO there,

00:30:15.260 advanced force operator,

00:30:16.380 which really is like

00:30:17.500 the best way I know

00:30:18.140 to describe it.

00:30:18.600 It's like being undercover.

00:30:19.500 You go in a singleton capacity

00:30:20.860 by yourself

00:30:21.520 and you work with

00:30:22.480 a local national

00:30:23.140 to go out

00:30:23.740 and advance your unit

00:30:25.000 in the mountains of Afghanistan

00:30:26.060 across border in Pakistan

00:30:27.120 to build the infrastructure

00:30:28.740 to put our soldiers on target

00:30:30.660 to capture or kill the bad guys.

00:30:31.880 That was my job.

00:30:33.060 And Aziz was not only

00:30:34.120 my interpreter,

00:30:34.720 but he was my teammate.

00:30:35.700 And ultimately,

00:30:36.560 he spent weeks

00:30:37.520 and months like that.

00:30:38.760 Either you're going to hate the guy

00:30:39.660 or you're going to love the guy.

00:30:40.860 And I fell in love with him.

00:30:42.280 He's one of my best friends

00:30:44.040 in the world.

00:30:44.900 He saved my life multiple times,

00:30:46.600 but I'd say

00:30:47.100 he saved my life every day.

00:30:48.420 Like, don't walk there.

00:30:49.880 Don't eat that.

00:30:50.800 Don't talk to this person.

00:30:51.680 If you speak right now,

00:30:52.540 they're going to kill us.

00:30:53.940 And I've seen him put

00:30:55.000 his life on the line

00:30:56.240 for other service members.

00:30:59.420 I mean,

00:30:59.640 we just got him recognized

00:31:00.680 by U.S. Congress,

00:31:01.460 who's the first Afghan

00:31:02.280 ever be recognized

00:31:03.060 by the U.S. Congress

00:31:03.840 for the rescue

00:31:05.180 of four Navy SEALs

00:31:06.160 in an operation

00:31:07.040 he and I were on.

00:31:08.100 I was tasked

00:31:08.680 with this operation

00:31:09.260 to recover these,

00:31:10.480 do a clandestine extraction

00:31:11.500 of these four SEALs

00:31:12.280 that were caught

00:31:12.660 in this Taliban village.

00:31:14.240 And we were out of options.

00:31:15.840 And it was Aziz

00:31:16.340 who stepped up and said,

00:31:17.720 I know how we're going to do this.

00:31:18.760 Let's take this vehicle.

00:31:19.980 He drove us through the night

00:31:20.980 into this Taliban village

00:31:22.320 and we got these

00:31:22.880 four Navy SEALs out.

00:31:24.440 He's an incredible human being.

00:31:25.660 You knew when

00:31:26.780 this was all falling apart,

00:31:28.800 you knew that

00:31:30.040 Aziz should have been

00:31:31.420 on the list,

00:31:32.200 would have,

00:31:32.800 I mean,

00:31:33.340 He had been in the process

00:31:33.980 for six years.

00:31:35.020 Right.

00:31:35.500 He had been in the SIV process

00:31:37.200 for six years.

00:31:37.900 It was a broken system.

00:31:39.480 It's supposed to take nine months.

00:31:40.920 Right.

00:31:41.560 But six years,

00:31:42.580 it's close to nine months.

00:31:44.260 Turn a nine upside down,

00:31:45.500 it looks like a six.

00:31:46.380 Anyway,

00:31:47.480 so he is,

00:31:49.180 you knew immediately,

00:31:51.240 there's no way

00:31:51.940 he's going to get out.

00:31:52.700 No,

00:31:53.220 because I had already tried

00:31:54.180 to use my relationships

00:31:55.020 in Congress and Senate

00:31:56.060 and it just wasn't happening

00:31:57.680 and it wasn't happening

00:31:58.320 for many SIVs

00:31:59.240 and like I said,

00:32:00.060 it's a nine month process

00:32:00.920 and a promise that we gave

00:32:01.820 in 2009,

00:32:02.620 our interpreters

00:32:03.220 and we had forfeited

00:32:05.700 our commitment to them

00:32:07.520 and Aziz is a guy

00:32:09.400 who had access

00:32:10.200 to top secret information,

00:32:11.340 served in special operations

00:32:12.380 for 15 years,

00:32:13.620 been polygraphed.

00:32:14.380 If he couldn't get out,

00:32:15.920 you got to think about

00:32:16.420 some of the others,

00:32:17.040 right?

00:32:17.360 So,

00:32:17.660 I knew he was in danger

00:32:19.620 in April,

00:32:20.540 not August,

00:32:21.380 but all the way back

00:32:22.380 in April,

00:32:23.100 one of our old teammates

00:32:24.220 that had turned on us

00:32:25.460 to the Taliban

00:32:25.960 and had been hunting

00:32:27.720 Aziz before,

00:32:29.360 this guy had 10

00:32:30.600 of our team members killed

00:32:31.600 who were friends of mine,

00:32:33.160 he had someone drive

00:32:35.860 a vehicle bomb

00:32:36.400 in my house

00:32:37.020 looking for Aziz,

00:32:38.400 he had me abducted

00:32:39.700 by a foreign intelligence agency,

00:32:41.120 which I can't say

00:32:41.820 which one,

00:32:42.700 so I mean,

00:32:44.320 this is a really bad guy,

00:32:45.320 we had him arrested,

00:32:46.260 he was put in jail,

00:32:47.140 but President Obama's

00:32:48.540 administration

00:32:49.440 let him loose

00:32:50.340 with many others

00:32:52.260 and he turned back

00:32:53.160 to the Taliban

00:32:53.620 so he's looking for Aziz

00:32:54.780 all the way back in April

00:32:55.660 and so we started

00:32:57.520 moving Aziz

00:32:58.180 and I'm getting

00:32:58.680 more and more desperate

00:32:59.460 and we hear

00:33:00.560 President Biden

00:33:01.200 announce that date

00:33:01.940 to say

00:33:02.400 we're going to withdraw

00:33:03.740 on the anniversary

00:33:04.780 of 9-11.

00:33:06.340 My heart sank

00:33:07.240 and I knew

00:33:07.760 a couple of things,

00:33:08.680 one,

00:33:08.880 I knew this was

00:33:09.340 going to be catastrophic

00:33:10.020 and we could go into

00:33:11.100 if you want

00:33:11.540 why for the global security

00:33:13.440 and national security

00:33:14.360 of the world

00:33:15.180 that was catastrophic

00:33:16.060 but secondly,

00:33:17.500 my heart went selfishly

00:33:19.080 to my friend

00:33:19.580 and said

00:33:19.940 I have to go get my friend.

00:33:22.080 So where did you first go?

00:33:23.480 What did you do?

00:33:24.400 What was your plan?

00:33:25.940 Well,

00:33:26.220 I had two plans

00:33:27.620 and the first one

00:33:28.700 didn't work out.

00:33:29.280 The first plan

00:33:29.800 is I called

00:33:30.320 Richard McGinnis

00:33:31.340 who works for

00:33:32.260 Tucker Carlson.

00:33:33.760 He's done,

00:33:34.300 went undercover

00:33:34.700 with Antifa

00:33:35.320 and BLM

00:33:36.360 and he was crazy enough

00:33:37.620 to do it

00:33:38.000 and I said,

00:33:38.420 hey,

00:33:38.540 do you want the story

00:33:39.160 in Afghanistan

00:33:39.740 of the withdrawal?

00:33:41.520 I'll get you there

00:33:42.480 and we'll go in

00:33:43.740 and we'll get my interpreter

00:33:45.460 on the ground

00:33:46.100 to be our cultural liaison.

00:33:47.820 Once we get the interview,

00:33:49.240 we're going to fly him back

00:33:50.340 to Dubai

00:33:51.120 to interview him

00:33:51.740 and his family

00:33:52.200 and then he's never gone back

00:33:53.480 and they were in

00:33:54.420 and a daily caller

00:33:55.300 actually approved it

00:33:56.520 but it happened too fast

00:33:59.080 so we couldn't pull that off

00:34:00.040 and so I said,

00:34:00.960 we're just going to have

00:34:01.500 to go in and get him

00:34:02.360 and so I started calling

00:34:03.720 former special operations guys

00:34:05.840 that I knew I could trust

00:34:07.740 because I knew them long term.

00:34:09.240 They had the ASO,

00:34:10.340 AFO level experience

00:34:11.260 to work independently

00:34:12.120 and they were mature guys

00:34:13.420 who had already been to combat

00:34:14.280 so they wouldn't be itching

00:34:15.100 to go and get in a gunfight

00:34:16.640 with the Taliban.

00:34:17.360 And is that what you mean

00:34:18.020 by you knew you could trust them?

00:34:19.620 I knew I could trust them

00:34:20.460 and that, yeah.

00:34:21.140 I mean,

00:34:21.620 I didn't want to bring guys

00:34:22.460 that were like,

00:34:23.400 hadn't got the chance

00:34:24.340 to go get some,

00:34:25.500 you know,

00:34:25.740 in combat

00:34:26.200 and then be out there.

00:34:27.480 That was not what

00:34:28.240 we were going there for.

00:34:29.080 The time for combat was over.

00:34:30.560 This was going to be to rescue

00:34:31.720 my friend,

00:34:33.140 his family

00:34:33.480 and potentially others

00:34:34.420 but where it shifted

00:34:35.560 was one of our teammates.

00:34:37.280 We had guys from,

00:34:37.840 you know,

00:34:38.140 SEALs,

00:34:39.100 Force Recon Marines,

00:34:39.940 Green Berets.

00:34:40.520 We had a couple of

00:34:41.060 paramilitary officers

00:34:42.020 from the CIA,

00:34:43.480 some very experienced guys

00:34:44.580 and one of the guys said,

00:34:45.900 hey,

00:34:46.140 there's this group

00:34:46.600 of 3,500 orphans.

00:34:48.380 Why don't we get them too?

00:34:49.780 And then we kind of

00:34:50.660 paused for a second

00:34:51.360 and said,

00:34:52.120 the skill set we have

00:34:53.800 in the room,

00:34:54.720 the passion that we have

00:34:55.960 to do this,

00:34:57.160 let's get as many Americans,

00:34:58.560 interpreters,

00:34:59.100 their families,

00:35:00.080 women,

00:35:00.420 children,

00:35:00.960 Christians that'll be persecuted.

00:35:01.960 Let's give as many people

00:35:02.520 as we can

00:35:03.000 and I believe it.

00:35:04.760 I think everyone in that room

00:35:05.740 was believers,

00:35:07.560 you know,

00:35:07.820 Christians

00:35:08.320 and I think we all felt

00:35:09.620 this burden on our heart.

00:35:10.440 That's why I called it

00:35:11.000 Task Force 6-8

00:35:11.780 from Isaiah 6-8,

00:35:12.900 hereby send me

00:35:13.600 and we just all

00:35:15.440 wanted to be obedient

00:35:16.200 to that

00:35:16.660 and if we get credit

00:35:18.720 for anything

00:35:19.160 and I know you've

00:35:19.780 given me credit

00:35:20.220 with the Bonhoeffer Angel Award

00:35:21.760 and Congress has recognized

00:35:22.620 me for this

00:35:23.180 but if we get any credit

00:35:24.360 for anything,

00:35:25.100 the only thing I feel

00:35:26.040 like we deserve credit for

00:35:27.100 was being obedient

00:35:27.840 to say yes

00:35:28.540 to that burden

00:35:29.360 that God put on our heart

00:35:30.100 because after that,

00:35:31.180 everything was a divine miracle.

00:35:32.800 I mean,

00:35:33.100 within three days,

00:35:35.480 Sarah Verardo

00:35:36.320 talked to the Joint Chiefs

00:35:37.420 and got permission

00:35:38.140 for us as civilians

00:35:39.740 to go in HKIA Airport

00:35:41.240 which is DOD controlled

00:35:42.360 and do a civilian evacuation.

00:35:44.160 Anybody knows anything

00:35:44.800 about the military,

00:35:45.620 that's impossible

00:35:46.540 for that to happen

00:35:47.400 and I still don't know

00:35:48.220 how it happened.

00:35:49.120 They gave us permission

00:35:49.840 to go there

00:35:50.300 and they said

00:35:50.880 they would better manifest.

00:35:52.280 Now, secondly,

00:35:54.040 we have to move people

00:35:55.200 without visas

00:35:55.780 to another country

00:35:57.200 which is human trafficking

00:35:59.060 if you don't have paperwork.

00:35:59.980 The only place that's allowed

00:36:00.980 is right here in Laredo, Texas.

00:36:03.320 But in the real world,

00:36:04.680 you know,

00:36:04.840 we have to have permission

00:36:06.540 so we called

00:36:07.540 the royal family

00:36:08.440 of the UAE

00:36:09.200 because we had relationships

00:36:10.060 there with some

00:36:11.320 of the family members.

00:36:12.040 Two of our teammates

00:36:12.640 actually had historical

00:36:13.520 relationships there

00:36:14.200 and we told them

00:36:14.920 what we were going to do

00:36:15.560 and they said

00:36:16.420 not only can you bring them here

00:36:18.500 but we'll give you

00:36:19.440 a humanitarian center,

00:36:20.800 doctors,

00:36:21.160 food,

00:36:22.440 we're going to care for them

00:36:23.240 and we'll work

00:36:24.460 with the State Department

00:36:25.120 to actually get them to the U.S.

00:36:26.580 because a lot of people

00:36:27.280 gave us slack

00:36:27.860 for we're bringing people

00:36:28.540 to the U.S.

00:36:29.020 I don't have the ability

00:36:29.820 to bring people to the U.S.

00:36:31.000 I had the ability

00:36:31.580 to evacuate people

00:36:32.340 from Afghanistan

00:36:32.760 but bringing them to America

00:36:34.360 is not up to me.

00:36:36.400 And then that's happening

00:36:38.260 and then the royal family

00:36:39.500 says after that,

00:36:41.080 not only that

00:36:41.600 but we're going to give you

00:36:42.120 two C-17 planes

00:36:43.460 and pilots

00:36:44.780 which sounds like a lot

00:36:46.460 but we even need it more

00:36:47.740 but that was amazing

00:36:49.260 and then the next thing

00:36:50.660 that happened

00:36:51.100 all within three days

00:36:52.220 is I got on a phone with you

00:36:53.260 and you told me

00:36:54.180 that you got behind a microphone

00:36:55.220 because you wanted to do

00:36:56.560 what you could,

00:36:59.040 what you had,

00:36:59.400 this is your greatest weapon

00:37:00.160 and you used your voice

00:37:02.060 and people responded

00:37:03.780 and I think you were like

00:37:05.380 I didn't know

00:37:05.700 what was going to happen

00:37:06.260 but we raised billions of dollars

00:37:07.320 and what are we going to do with it

00:37:08.540 and you connected me

00:37:09.500 with Rudy Atala,

00:37:11.060 amazing,

00:37:11.920 amazing human being

00:37:12.740 at Mercury One

00:37:13.700 and we synergized

00:37:15.380 on the effort

00:37:15.820 to start coordinating

00:37:16.800 the procurement of planes

00:37:18.420 to be able to manifest planes

00:37:20.460 and get planes rotating in

00:37:21.980 and the large majority

00:37:23.940 of the 17,000 people

00:37:26.540 we got out

00:37:27.140 were on planes

00:37:28.080 that Mercury One

00:37:28.700 and you're already

00:37:29.120 so I'm super thrilled

00:37:30.620 to be here to be.

00:37:31.360 It's amazing,

00:37:32.820 17,000 people

00:37:35.020 and it started with

00:37:36.080 I got to go over

00:37:36.960 and save my friend.

00:37:37.580 Started with

00:37:37.900 I got to go over

00:37:38.380 and save my friend

00:37:38.860 and we did get a Z's

00:37:40.320 the first day.

00:37:41.400 We had so much happening.

00:37:42.860 We had our team

00:37:44.880 in Abu Dhabi

00:37:45.540 which is where I was

00:37:46.480 running operations.

00:37:47.880 We had a team

00:37:48.220 in Cerro Veroros

00:37:49.100 running in Washington D.C.

00:37:50.020 to take applications

00:37:50.800 and make sure

00:37:51.300 they're the right people

00:37:52.500 not just anyone

00:37:53.540 who are vetting

00:37:54.100 the right people

00:37:54.760 which unfortunately

00:37:55.420 DOD did not do that

00:37:57.360 and people said

00:37:58.940 they were concerned

00:37:59.420 about who was coming here.

00:38:00.400 I was too.

00:38:01.360 I want to make sure

00:38:01.860 I mean I'm equally concerned.

00:38:03.360 I was concerned on

00:38:03.460 every single person

00:38:04.680 that was in our purview

00:38:06.540 on our planes.

00:38:07.560 We were concerned.

00:38:08.320 The United States government

00:38:09.120 didn't seem to care.

00:38:10.020 Didn't care, yeah.

00:38:10.680 I mean we did our due diligence

00:38:12.700 and we didn't bring them

00:38:13.520 straight to America.

00:38:14.080 We put them through

00:38:14.780 a filter process

00:38:15.580 in a third-party country

00:38:16.640 but for us

00:38:19.000 having that process running

00:38:20.460 was very intricate

00:38:21.380 and it was amazing

00:38:22.540 how fast.

00:38:23.060 I'm so proud of everyone

00:38:23.900 that was involved

00:38:24.380 how fast we were able

00:38:25.500 to get a system in place.

00:38:27.060 We had our ground team

00:38:27.780 going outside the wire

00:38:28.640 at HKIA

00:38:29.200 and three-man teams

00:38:30.320 to grab people

00:38:31.460 as we coordinated

00:38:32.360 a rescue list

00:38:33.260 and no one stopped to sleep.

00:38:35.520 I was so amazed

00:38:36.280 by everyone.

00:38:37.540 Ten days

00:38:38.180 if you stopped

00:38:38.900 for five minutes of sleep

00:38:40.420 you felt like

00:38:40.960 you were trading at first

00:38:41.840 a human life

00:38:42.520 and so my friend

00:38:44.540 Seaspray

00:38:44.920 right about in the book

00:38:45.660 he lost 37 pounds

00:38:46.720 in that ten days.

00:38:48.300 We didn't know how

00:38:48.880 long we had

00:38:51.080 we just knew

00:38:51.640 we couldn't stop

00:38:52.340 but when that Abbey Gate

00:38:53.680 blew up

00:38:54.140 and 13 of our service members

00:38:55.420 were killed

00:38:55.880 we watched the military

00:38:59.200 weld those gates shut

00:39:00.120 and the U.S. military

00:39:01.340 did not want to leave

00:39:02.380 but they had to

00:39:03.840 but we didn't have to

00:39:04.980 and we chose to stay.

00:39:06.700 I want to talk to you

00:39:08.160 about that here

00:39:08.580 give me a minute here

00:39:09.880 and we're going to come back

00:39:11.020 the name of the book

00:39:11.780 is Saving Aziz

00:39:12.740 by Chad Robichaux

00:39:14.340 and it is

00:39:15.740 it's fantastic

00:39:16.760 and it is the story

00:39:18.120 of what happened

00:39:19.080 because you responded

00:39:21.500 he was over

00:39:22.920 the 17,000 people

00:39:24.860 that he got out

00:39:25.920 many of those

00:39:26.880 were out

00:39:27.980 because

00:39:28.600 you gave five bucks

00:39:30.460 or a hundred bucks

00:39:31.420 or whatever it was

00:39:32.500 this is your story

00:39:34.540 Saving Aziz

00:39:35.360 you can get it now.

00:39:36.700 Na Na Na Na
