00:02:27.180 no no strict strict diet diet the doctor has been saying too much plant in your uh really yeah and
00:02:34.460 he was specific i said is that like lettuce he said plant plant we should also point out that
00:02:41.340 your doctor is also uh the one saying don't have normal ivermectin have the horse dewormer
00:02:47.200 and some of the way rat poison should work well for you too no he's not one of those okay um but uh
00:02:56.860 let me let me go there for a second did you hear um on joe rogan sanjay gupta comes
00:03:04.440 on and we have that cut please here's sanjay gupta on joe rogan it was a tweet and it was snarky i
00:03:10.400 admit it they said you are not a horse you are not a cow stop taking this stuff or something like
00:03:14.400 why would you say that when you're talking about a drug that's been given out to billions and billions
00:03:18.840 of people a drug that was responsible for one of the inventors of it making the nobel prize
00:03:23.360 nobel prize in 2015 yeah yeah a drug that has been shown to stop viral replication in vitro
00:03:30.500 you know that right why would they lie and say that's horse dewormer i can afford people medicine
00:03:36.200 this is ridiculous it's just a lie i don't think anyone is but don't you think that a lie like that
00:03:42.440 is dangerous on a news network when you know that they know they're lying you think i want that's a
00:03:46.800 problem that your news network lies well i don't i don't dude what did they say they lied and said i was
00:03:54.400 taking horse dewormer first of all it was prescribed to me by a doctor yeah yeah along with
00:03:59.920 they shouldn't have said it was a bunch of other medications if you got a human pill because there
00:04:04.960 were people that were taking it the veterinary medication and i you're not obviously you got it
00:04:09.980 from a doctor so that it shouldn't be called that ivermectin can be a very effective medication
00:04:14.520 for parasitic disease does it bother you that the news network you work for
00:04:19.620 out and out lied well outright lied about me taking horse dewormer they they shouldn't have
00:04:26.660 said that why did they do that i don't know you didn't ask i didn't think you're the medical guy
00:04:31.340 over there i didn't ask i should have asked before they did it with such glee no yes i watched
00:04:36.900 you know what he said did you hear what he just said i shouldn't have asked before i should have
00:04:42.440 asked before i came to do this podcast right that's what he said yeah not i should have asked i should
00:04:47.940 have asked before i came to do this podcast here he is with don lemon after that interview he he did
00:04:55.340 say something about ivermectin that i think wasn't actually correct about cnn and lying okay ivermectin
00:05:02.500 is a drug that is commonly used as a horse dewormer so it is not a lie to say that the drug is used as a
00:05:10.500 horse oh my gosh listen to this i i think that's important and it is not approved for covid correct
00:05:18.740 that's right that's correct it it is not approved for covid and you're right i mean the fda even put
00:05:25.480 out a statement saying you know basically reminding people it was a strange sort of message from the fda
00:05:30.500 but that said you're not a horse you're not a cow stop taking this stuff is essentially what they said
00:05:35.620 referring to ivermectin now i think what what joe's point that has been approved for humans and but
00:05:40.800 not necessarily for covid right yeah that's correct it's been it's been used for a parasitic disease
00:05:46.600 for something it's called river blindness and it's been very effective for that but you know just
00:05:52.020 because it works for one thing doesn't mean it works for something oh my gosh and you know there's
00:05:56.500 still there are studies that show this helps around ivermectin yeah i mean for the most part if you
00:06:01.000 look there's disagreement on whether it actually is effective but i mean the guy still oh my gosh
00:06:08.100 okay so here's the good news cnn is so worthless right now nobody is watching this that sanjay gupta
00:06:15.200 to schlep his books and stuff has to go onto a podcast i told you this maybe four years ago do you
00:06:25.000 remember the day that uh joe rogan had elon musk on and the stock went down right because he was
00:06:34.140 smoking pot on the air right okay yeah and i remember that day because i i in a commercial break i turn on
00:06:41.000 cnn and i hear them talking about it and they're like who's joe rogan who's joe rogan and i thought to
00:06:49.480 myself the number one podcast a guy who is sweeping the nation they don't even know it they have
00:06:58.500 no clue as to how buried they are and i said on that day it's over podcasts are now leading the way
00:07:08.980 here they are they have to go on to joe rogan to schlep a book and take that kind of accurate abuse
00:07:18.860 um and then then he goes back with his tail between his legs and he's like well no i mean it
00:07:26.540 is a dewormer it is a dewormer yes for horses not for people nobel prize nobel prize and look what
00:07:36.400 they're doing yeah these people are amazing and what what lemon is trying to do here is change move you
00:07:44.980 move the goal posts right you know right it's yes it could be used and is used for livestock that's
00:07:53.100 that's well known however it is also something we require every single person who comes here as a
00:07:59.220 refugee to take we require it for them to come in the country because of what it does to parasitic
00:08:05.140 disease now there is a disagreement about whether it is effective against covet a lot of doctors don't
00:08:10.640 think it is some do the but the but that's not what wrote that's not what the standard was no to
00:08:16.520 say he was taking horse dewormer in some really uh outrageous way is to to try to move the goal
00:08:24.080 post to something else it's like it's like honestly honestly it's it's like saying why are you eating
00:08:33.160 uh food that bunnies eat no it's a mcplant it's bunny food now you can make that point that bunnies
00:08:43.200 do eat i think i don't know i have no idea if there's actually any plant in the mcplant but you
00:08:50.120 could say it's bunny's food and get away with it and it'd be accurate but that's not what the mcplant
00:08:56.060 is right i mean it would be in my life would be in my life i would like be looking for a bunny what
00:09:01.860 are there bunnies around here yeah throw it out in the throw it out in the backyard see if we can
00:09:06.280 attract some bunnies but that's what they're doing with ivermectin yes it does do that as well but it's
00:09:15.500 a people medicine again this is don lemon this is a quote from don lemon talking about joe rogan
00:09:21.760 quote he is taking several medications including a drug meant for deworming livestock not true gosh
00:09:29.380 listen that is absolutely a lie it is not meant for dis for deworming livestock can be used can be
00:09:36.740 used in that way but that's not what it's meant for unbelievable unbelievable uh some of the chyrons
00:09:43.220 here uh joe rogan says he has covid taking livestock drug despite warnings unbelievable uh joe rogan announces
00:09:52.260 he has covid is taking horse dewormer ivermectin now look it is a it can be used for that so maybe
00:10:00.300 technically it's not a libelous situation though the quote he is taking several medications including
00:10:06.640 a drug meant for deworming livestock that's ivermectin should be suing for that one yeah
00:10:11.680 because that's not only what it's meant for right i mean it's just it's so hypocritical they got caught
00:10:17.620 in this this is so great and this is so great do you know you know you have really good interactions
00:10:23.600 with people you have a hundred good interactions with people and they lie to you one time do you
00:10:30.080 trust them again it's hard right right you shouldn't right that's that you you you you trust is earned
00:10:36.080 correct and you betray it what you could have 100 things that you have done and it's been accurate
00:10:41.180 you lie to somebody one time and they may not turn away from you they may not dismiss but they will
00:10:48.840 question now if you have told 100 things that are true and 100 things that are lies you have no chance
00:10:57.840 i mean they do report the truth occasionally they must stumble onto it okay hey it's president joe biden
00:11:07.320 accurate and he's here to save the country lie you know what i mean so they have no credibility that's
00:11:17.380 why no one is watching them anymore this is great news this is the end of gosh do you remember when
00:11:26.080 we left what did i say almost every day the year before we left fox and cnn stew remember every day i would
00:11:34.940 say uh uh uh every day i would say we got to get out of here these these companies are what gonna burn
00:11:45.000 themselves to the ground yeah yeah every time every time and uh look at here it is they're gone they're
00:11:53.180 gone they have no credibility and even some of the networks like fox fox doesn't have the credibility
00:11:59.520 it used to tucker carlson does tucker carlson does but when i was there the network had the credibility
00:12:08.580 and the individuals also had their own credibility but fox with the audience had an umbrella that it
00:12:17.520 could pretty much do no wrong that that umbrella doesn't exist anymore now it is the personalities
00:12:23.080 that are there and look i don't know cnn is it going to burn itself to the ground if it if it if
00:12:29.100 something burns itself to the ground but no one is around to see the flames does it actually i don't
00:12:34.920 know i don't know i don't know i absolutely love this uh so the netflix ceo ted sarandos uh has
00:12:42.560 doubled down on the defense of dave chappelle now i'm sure this has nothing to do with 140 million
00:12:50.760 dollars that they paid dave chappelle to make these specials okay i'm sure it has nothing to do with that
00:12:56.360 i'm sure it has nothing to do with how wildly popular those specials are but they came out
00:13:05.020 because there's a lot of people uh the transgender employees at facebook uh and the activists have
00:13:12.020 come out and they are they're walking off the job they're saying i'm not gonna i'm not giving my money
00:13:18.180 to to netflix anymore and uh wow ted sarandos has taken a hard stand out of the goodness of his heart
00:13:27.700 and he believes in you know freedom of speech and all of that and uh he said the activist claims that
00:13:35.540 chappelle's humor was the equivalent of real world harm is false i recognize that distinguishing between
00:13:44.520 commentary and harm is hard especially with stand-up comedy which exists to push the boundaries some
00:13:51.980 people find the art of stand-up to be mean-spirited but our members enjoy it and it's an important part
00:13:58.400 of our content offering is it is it really or do you just know you're on the losing side of this
00:14:07.940 and your programming is really starting to suck and you just spent 140 million dollars on it
00:14:15.220 that's what it is because i can guarantee they're not going to put steven crowder on
00:14:19.560 they would never say that about any comedian that you know was an up-and-coming guy and it's also
00:14:27.280 i'm not even true by their own actions i mean i would agree with what he said right wouldn't you
00:14:30.800 yeah yeah that's like 100 the standard should be yes for comedians can basically go wherever they
00:14:36.000 want to go and they should have real i mean look commentary everyone should have everyone should
00:14:40.960 have it but really there's a wider yes if anything for comedy correct it's supposed to be challenging
00:14:48.200 in that way yeah but like they did a show a few years ago called uh with bob and david which is a
00:14:54.480 sketch comedy show it was i love that basically an extra few episodes of the you know the one of the
00:15:00.960 greatest uh sketch comedy shows of all time called mr show with bob and david which was an hbo show
00:15:05.580 really good bob odenkirk and david cross correct and they did a an episode of that show where they
00:15:09.920 have like it's kind of like a mock of like you know the the libertarian uh thing where you're like
00:15:15.420 everyone's you're going through like a police checkpoint yeah and you're filming yourself and
00:15:19.760 like talking to the camera you don't have to give them your license it was like one of those type of
00:15:23.600 things and at the end of the sketch david cross who's incredibly liberal by the way like one of the
00:15:30.080 liberal people in the world like like going on stage in his in his in texas uh on his uh on his
00:15:39.240 own personal comedy tour blasting seriously like no funny stuff like if you voted for trump or if
00:15:47.080 you're you know if you're a texan get out of here i mean he's way over the edge yeah he did an entire
00:15:53.300 uh tour i believe just basically bashing trump was the entire thing right at the end of this sketch
00:16:01.300 he is trying to prove something about race right right where he shows that the cops always come after
00:16:08.440 people black people and he does it in blackface they deleted the sketch from the show the entire
00:16:17.260 sketch it's actually making a liberal point and they deleted the sketch from netflix so did you see
00:16:25.540 the jave chappelle special yes i did okay i mean it's filthy awful some of it is filthy amazingly good
00:16:32.540 but yes yes some of it is amazingly filthy awful like i can't believe anyone's ever thought that let
00:16:39.240 alone said those words that's right um but it is incredibly heartwarming at the end oh yeah yeah the
00:16:46.840 the story he tells about transgender his transgender friend is like it will bring you to tears it's so
00:16:54.200 beautiful it is amazing and and yet nope nope not good enough this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:17:09.240 you know those irish he's probably stumbling in drunk mr bill o'reilly hello bill well that's nice
00:17:27.000 beck thank you very much um i'm gonna have to um woke you yeah oh i'm sorry oh boy billoreilly.com
00:17:34.460 attacking the irish oh there it is yeah it is totally unacceptable i'm offended yes but i'm the
00:17:41.260 elite so i can get away with it mr o'reilly well we're gonna have to have a petition and we'll
00:17:46.780 perhaps come to your house and burn it down okay all right all right is that what the petition does
00:17:51.120 um all right bill what was the big story of the week mark zuckerberg which is not being reported
00:17:57.660 mark zuckerberg this is huge mark zuckerberg spent 420 million dollars trying to influence the 2020
00:18:09.180 election and he was successful and you cannot find this story being reported this is so important and
00:18:18.420 so scandalous i can't believe it so tell me the story because i read the story and i i never got to
00:18:25.280 it on on air tell me you're i understand i understand that you're very busy and but if you
00:18:30.720 watch me on the no spin news every night that is your key i hire people to do that okay so let's walk
00:18:40.020 through it there are laws in every single state against electioneering at polling places that means
00:18:47.700 when you go to vote to a polling place there can't be somebody there screaming at you to vote for a
00:18:53.400 certain person correct or giving you advice or giving you a hot dog or anything right right okay
00:19:00.360 that is against the law but if you have a mail-in ballot there are no restrictions for someone coming
00:19:09.780 to your house and actually filling out the ballot for you it's crazy putting it in the envelope taking
00:19:17.320 it with them right it's called bundling all right and bringing it to the polling place in your county
00:19:24.020 so this number one that's where you start that's why the left wants the mail-in ballots universal
00:19:31.540 because there's no limitations on possible corruption do we all understand yep it's to understand is he
00:19:39.820 still awake no he's so he he fell asleep the minute i said bill o'reilly okay enter mark zuckerberg's
00:19:47.300 the major domo at facebook zuckerberg and his wife donate a colossal 420 million dollars to
00:19:58.680 two non-profits they are the center for technology and civic life ctcl and the center for election
00:20:10.400 innovation innovation and research c-e-i-r so they get this money and it's all legal now these non-profits
00:20:21.280 say they're non-partisan which is a lie they are far left people and what they do is hire vote
00:20:31.080 navigators who are paid very well in the last election trump versus viden you'll all remember
00:20:45.920 that all right these vote navigators operated in arizona georgia michigan north carolina
00:20:56.000 pennsylvania texas and virginia wow those were the states targeted by these two non-profits using
00:21:05.540 420 million dollars to pay the vote navigators what do the navigators do quote they assist voters
00:21:17.480 potentially going to their front doors to answer questions and assist in ballot curing and witness
00:21:26.760 absentee ballot signatures oh my gosh okay first of all what's ballot curing what wait wait what's the
00:21:34.500 definition of ballot curing all right i'll get to that all right but the quote i just read you comes
00:21:39.220 from the two non-partisans they admit it they send people out to houses to show you who to vote for
00:21:48.240 ballot curing is if you make a mistake on a mail-in ballot they correct the mistake oh my gosh
00:21:58.000 so your ballot is not thrown out go ahead still there you go and that's not necessarily always
00:22:03.600 a bad thing right like it's the idea if you make a mistake the government can come and say hey
00:22:09.200 like you made this mistake you returned it in two weeks early you have plenty of time to fix it do
00:22:13.380 you want to fix it if it's a non-partisan thing yeah it's not bad ballot curing isn't necessarily
00:22:18.120 always horrible but if you're doing it this way we're sending partisan people out to do it i mean
00:22:22.840 it's terrifying shut up stew
00:22:25.640 of all the vote navigators of all of them only one county only one out of all of those states
00:22:40.420 went for trump every other county where the vote navigators navigated shockingly went for biden
00:22:49.540 in a huge way which threw the vote count to biden in very closely contested states like arizona like
00:23:01.360 georgia like wisconsin i'm sorry i don't think i mentioned wisconsin in that crew they were in there
00:23:07.620 as well okay those were all the states where there were questions where the vote navigators run by these
00:23:13.540 two organizations showed up okay so o'reilly takes this story and runs with it last night
00:23:20.840 and after that i got on a plane and i went to mar-a-lago and i interviewed trump
00:23:27.440 and if you want to see a little bit of it i posted already on billoreilly.com
00:23:32.100 okay that'll run on monday night on the no spin news and all of our other affiliates
00:23:37.400 okay i asked trump about this okay i say are you aware of this and he was okay and he said well
00:23:49.020 zuckerberg broke the law and i said no he didn't he can do this but every state has to understand what
00:23:57.880 he did and pass laws against it just like the electioneering laws at the polling places now that's
00:24:04.580 a fascinating discussion but here's the kicker trump had giuliani and sydney uh powell and all
00:24:12.660 these other people the pillow guy everybody run around screaming about the dominion voting machines
00:24:19.380 the dead people voting the illegal aliens voting screaming screaming screaming screaming all right
00:24:26.080 and still to this day millions of americans believe that was the fraud it was not there was
00:24:33.880 some of that but not to the extent of this this was the voter fraud
00:24:41.400 navigators going to the homes of mostly poor mostly
00:24:47.880 out of it people and telling them to vote for biden and actually filling out the ballots for them
00:24:55.560 and then taking the ballots and zuckerberg financed it do we all get this are we all getting it
00:25:04.520 because you're not going to hear it on the corrupt corporate media this was the fraud
00:25:10.920 now after i explained it to donald trump and that's a very good exchange that you're going to want to
00:25:17.880 watch is that the clip is that the clip uh no i'm saving that clip well i got buku clips yeah okay um
00:25:27.800 you know about afghanistan about biden okay about millie you name it but anyway this story is so important
00:25:35.560 and so powerful but i will tell you most americans are never even gonna hear it which is why we are now
00:25:44.740 living in red china because the information flow is cut off even the morons on fox news aren't gonna
00:25:51.860 cover this because they're not smart enough to get it i'm surprised i i miss this um bill i saw this
00:26:00.660 story and i was so tired of hearing about zuckerberg and all of this stuff that i just passed it thank you
00:26:08.500 for bringing this to my attention and to america's attention beck i have to say this i'm giving you a pass
00:26:13.780 on it because you're a genius for putting me on your program every week that's the counterbalance
00:26:20.100 right okay and all i get is shut up yeah i mean and i think that was well deserved
00:26:29.220 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:26:31.780 sarah tesky she uh is retired u.s marine corps she is an advisor for the human first coalition
00:26:50.100 it's a group of people that are really doing some good work in afghanistan uh and helping people they
00:26:57.860 have already taken out i think about 800 wallet sarah tell you uh hi sarah how are you really good
00:27:06.500 good morning glad um i i first of all thank you for everything you guys are doing in afghanistan
00:27:12.580 you're really making a difference well and so are you and your team thank you for all you've done
00:27:17.860 you're welcome so you have uh about 800 american citizens that you have taken out right uh we have
00:27:26.900 actually taken out to date over 1200 americans excellent 6700 other individuals 6700 fantastic
00:27:35.940 fantastic okay so tell me about um the the joe biden afghan interpreter
00:27:42.020 what happened how did he get out well first of all we didn't want to steal him from you
00:27:49.460 no no we didn't we were worried about him because we had put him we had put him up and then he just
00:27:55.940 ghosted us and the emails are all like where did he go is he okay that's that's how it's marines work
00:28:04.500 yeah i received a concern concerning email that his handler was frustrated and just really struggling
00:28:12.900 with bringing him to safety and for us it's all about human life i honestly in my in full transparency
00:28:20.340 when i reviewed the case him being you know president biden's interpreter i never first saw this
00:28:26.180 garnishing so much media attention yeah in the larger portfolio it was such a footnote to such a greater
00:28:32.260 story i agree and for us it's about saving human life so when i got the case and saw that he had such
00:28:38.420 a large family and children and the threat he was under we pushed it up through our movement team and
00:28:45.300 were able to move him immediately and get him out of country and bring him to safety and then the media
00:28:53.460 and everything started to uh learn about this information we've we've predominantly stayed out of the
00:28:59.540 the media to focus just on the rescue sure and i felt it was important though to engage with people
00:29:05.700 like yourself and others to tell our story because we have to be the voice of so many who are still in
00:29:11.620 country who still need to be saved and i it is shameful the way the media has just moved on they've just
00:29:19.940 moved on and there are so many people i mean i don't know about your safe houses but ours are still full up
00:29:28.420 we're still in there actively trying to get people out and planes are flying out every day with with
00:29:34.740 people on from the nazarene fund i'm sure you're doing the same thing we are we have over 3 000
00:29:40.420 people still in safe houses geez and it's getting worse and where there was a bombing in kabul just a
00:29:46.340 little while ago um i mean it's getting worse and worse there it is there there are definitely
00:29:53.700 it's a very complex operational environment and the intricacy and danger of the rescue missions
00:30:00.740 on through transitioning them into lily pads and third world nations is especially challenging with
00:30:06.740 the legalities and the hurdles um just miraculously that we have to that we have to seemingly navigate
00:30:16.020 people not only get out and bring them to safety but then build a life and future for them so
00:30:21.860 something that's really important to us and i know you and your organization share this same
00:30:26.660 viewpoint is we don't want to pull them out and dump them so yeah for me that doesn't help that
00:30:33.700 only causes more problems elsewhere absolutely so i say this all the time in the work i've done for 15
00:30:40.260 years in anti-human trafficking the rescue is sexy everybody wants to be part of saving lives nobody wants to roll
00:30:46.980 up their sleeves and restore innocence restore lives help them start a new life outside of their former
00:30:54.820 nation country and these people have left with nothing glenn and it is our responsibility if we move them
00:31:00.980 and take them that we give them an opportunity not only to succeed for themselves but that we're also not
00:31:06.900 putting a burden on other socioeconomic cultures yes where we leave them i mean we i mean even here in america
00:31:13.620 they shouldn't be you know they shouldn't just be dumped onto our streets that's that's unfair it's
00:31:19.300 it's inhuman in it's not humane to do this so so sarah i have a really bad feeling i talked about this the
00:31:27.860 other day um you know you talked about the lily pad countries i mean i personally talked to leaders of
00:31:36.740 state that's and they were like you got to get these people out of here we're taking so many we're taking
00:31:42.340 more than we promised i'm like i know i know we have countries that will take them so they won't be
00:31:47.300 there long we'll start moving them well the state department has sabotaged almost all of our
00:31:54.500 relationships with other countries and we're trying now to get them out anywhere um and having a hard
00:32:01.460 time and i thought gee i wonder if in the end uh after the state department has made it so impossible to
00:32:09.620 get them any place else i wonder if at the end they all are just moved here to the united states
00:32:17.220 wouldn't that be remarkable wouldn't it be remarkable so remarkable yeah and uh seems kind
00:32:24.100 of like what what might happen doesn't it is it just me i hope so here's to hoping i'm not going to
00:32:29.860 lose faith i i tell my team all the time you never can lose hope you never can lose faith because we are
00:32:34.980 their light and we are their only light of hope and we must continue to shine for them it's critical
00:32:40.340 because we are all they have well these dark hours i will tell you the ones that we have moved and i
00:32:45.940 know you're the same i mean we vet we vet vet vet vet vet vet um and it's not like you know the united
00:32:53.460 states government that put five guys on that we're going to take over the c-17 did you read about that
00:32:59.300 i mean how did these guys even get on board the plane you know i mean it's crazy and i i wonder
00:33:06.500 about all these people i know our people i don't know everybody else's people and that's a lot of
00:33:13.460 people that would be coming to the united states a lot yes yes it would yes it would within our
00:33:20.420 organization the the majority of us are either um prior serving government or military members
00:33:29.060 so with that came a lot of incredible and strong relationships yes and we have been able to leverage
00:33:35.620 those to actually vet every single person we take out through the state department and through dod right
00:33:41.700 so we are doing that not only on the back end with the united states of america but we are also doing
00:33:46.340 that in the accepting nations through their foreign ministers of travel and um their foreign ministers
00:33:51.780 of um affairs yes for us it is critical as individuals who have served to make sure we're
00:34:00.180 doing this right and above bar and not just taking anybody and everyone who wants a flight out and to me
00:34:08.660 that's the the other piece to this we have so many organizations that are well-intentioned
00:34:13.780 but but but are lacking the experience in this operational environment and don't understand the
00:34:20.100 complexity of mass meal operations and to me i would like to see a greater unification of efforts
00:34:28.580 and and and understanding people's strengths and weaknesses so we can lessen lessen the load for
00:34:35.700 some and also increases increase the resources for others who are are doing it right you know i i hope and
00:34:42.580 and please feel free i know we're on the air but i don't have any fear of you know if you have
00:34:47.380 something that that we should be aware of please tell us i i know that we've tried to do that you know
00:34:53.460 one of the things that we have we had access to airplanes and access to cash we didn't necessarily
00:34:59.220 especially at the beginning have access to people on the ground and i really at the time i was like this
00:35:05.780 is this is great because other people have people on the ground and they don't have access to the
00:35:10.820 airplane or the money let's work together and i i think that's really really good um is there is
00:35:18.500 there anything that we're doing that you see and you'd be like i wish you guys would do this more or
00:35:24.100 wish you guys would stop doing this absolutely not glenn your organization and human first have
00:35:30.340 actually been working together unbeknownst to probably a lot of people for a long time and it's been
00:35:35.700 our absolute honor and privilege to do so uh you have so many remarkable heroes and individuals who
00:35:42.500 have been doing extraordinary work and we have over 100 ground team security forces so we were really
00:35:50.740 able to support you in that regard and you were really able to support us with the the lift with the
00:35:56.180 planes so it has been a beautiful synergy and and i think in in all the negative i think we have to
00:36:03.300 sometimes look at the silver lining and i think we have to see through this how this entire effort
00:36:09.220 the bigger picture underscores the beauty of humanity and the power and efficiency of public
00:36:14.580 and private partnerships and i understand there's been a lot of popularity and in hitting on that this
00:36:20.020 is about the veterans who served in afghanistan but i have seen church groups ngos elected officials
00:36:26.980 veterans currently serving members along with corporations and foreign entities yeah come
00:36:35.620 together from 8 000 miles away virtually yeah all in the name of saving human lives i mean and that
00:36:42.100 beautiful beautiful tapestry is is is just something incredible that has been woven in
00:36:48.340 in literally two months time which is beautiful when you have a talk radio host rodeo clown and the
00:36:57.540 prime minister of pakistan finding a bridge to help that's remarkable i mean that's just
00:37:06.180 it's remarkable yeah and we talk about we i mean there's a lot of bad at least that i have to say
00:37:13.860 about the state department but i have to tell you i've also seen state department people that are
00:37:18.100 working currently in the state department bust their ass to do the right thing agreed agreed agreed
00:37:25.700 it's it's remarkable i have literally had people in state department call me and say can we just pray
00:37:30.660 over you and your team can we just um pray for all the incredible work you're doing and we hope it gets
00:37:37.780 better so again i tell i i always say this everyone teases me because i must save it 300 times a day
00:37:44.100 unlimited grace folks unlimited grace we are we are working through an unprecedented situation
00:37:50.980 in unprecedented times and unless you have walked with these afghan allies and refugees have walked
00:37:58.260 unlimited grace because no one unless they've lived through it can understand the uncertainty and
00:38:04.500 fear that they themselves are enduring at this very moment i i just did an interview with um
00:38:09.620 um a family that was brought here to the united states that we we got out and uh and we worked with
00:38:16.340 so many partners on it i know i hate when i say we got them out i don't mean it that way we all work
00:38:21.140 together on it um but uh uh they were here to tell their story and i have to tell you it is
00:38:29.220 i don't think americans can even imagine what it's like to be a woman that was walking down the street
00:38:36.660 when the taliban rolled into town i mean it's just no no it's remarkable it is and i think what
00:38:45.540 i think the human side of this is remarkable so our we have handlers and individuals as i'm sure you do
00:38:51.620 that talk to these families to to the fathers to the mothers to the children every day yeah and that
00:38:58.500 beauty that that deep-seated relationship that trust that has been built over phones is one of
00:39:06.580 the most extraordinary experiences and journeys i've ever been on in 25 years of of being serving
00:39:12.500 this nation and um recently i was in dc i had the honor of of addressing several members of congress
00:39:19.380 and while i was there i had the unique pleasure of meeting the nephew of a family we had just rescued
00:39:25.460 and to see him play with my kids and hug me and cry together and the power we had been walking this
00:39:31.780 together since before the withdrawal and we were able to bring their their family to safety a couple
00:39:37.540 weeks ago and just the relief of knowing his family was finally safe and the ability of us to work
00:39:45.140 together to make that happen is something that is even difficult to describe the power of that the
00:39:52.500 power of saving human lives is is beautiful and i think on the other end of that though is also the
00:39:58.260 pressure because every single time we move we talk about the rescue all the time but to get there
00:40:04.820 you know navigating you know our our allies the language barriers the fear moving them to checkpoints
00:40:11.140 and every single moment of these sometimes 24 hour long journeys wondering did i make the right
00:40:18.020 decision to move this one oh my gosh sarah i can't tell you i don't know how you do it i had to stop
00:40:23.940 i had to stop because i was getting involved in seeing the movements and stuff and you know you
00:40:28.820 wouldn't get the call or what something would happen you'd be like oh my god did i make the wrong
00:40:32.260 decision here did i just get somebody killed it is terrifying terrifying it is definitely and it's
00:40:40.500 some days emotionally depleting yeah it is uh sarah i can't thank you enough uh and i hope we get a
00:40:47.140 chance to meet sometime and and uh and just hear about all the success stories that you and human
00:40:53.380 first coalition have done you're you're remarkable people thank you so much well it's an honor thank
00:40:58.340 you for all you and your team have done and i think it's just important to remember that we're not just

00:41:07.700 that's what keeps me going amen thank you sarah i appreciate it uh by the way if you want to make a
