00:00:00.000 Oh, it's Monday. What a Monday it is, too, Stu, right?
00:00:04.540 I mean, nothing going on in the news.
00:00:08.260 Well, except for, did you see that the ATF is redefining automatic weapons
00:00:16.600 and taking just a few triggers off the market?
00:00:21.760 And they don't need to go to Congress. They can get all of these things done now.
00:00:26.260 Oh, good. Good. I'm glad.
00:00:27.680 So we have that going on for you. Also, something is happening in Afghanistan.
00:00:32.660 I've heard something about this. We'll get into the details.
00:00:34.940 You may not have heard any of these developments, but they're shocking.
00:00:37.680 Right. And the president is standing by his decision.
00:00:42.680 And strangely, no one will answer the question directly.
00:00:47.000 Is he even competent at this point?
00:00:50.180 Wait until you hear what happened on the news shows over the weekend on Sunday news shows.
00:00:55.640 That and so much more on today's radio program.

00:01:12.340 We're still raising money, even though you've passed the twenty six million dollars is what we're at.
00:01:18.160 It's an amazing thing.
00:01:19.300 We have a lot of people to save and not a lot of time.
00:01:31.620 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:35.720 So Biden has it handled.
00:01:41.440 In fact, you know, the sycophants at ABC, I mean, they even pointed out how correct he was.
00:01:49.080 Listen to this.
00:01:49.580 Hey, your reporting early yesterday from the Kabul airport was frankly terrifying.
00:01:53.540 We didn't talk to you in person because you were being chased out of the airport in a armored car.
00:01:57.620 And you even had it much easier than the average Afghan. 1.00
00:01:59.960 Right. So President Biden has basically said now, hey, it was a really chaotic scene four or five days ago.
00:02:05.960 He took control.
00:02:07.040 He said to make it more orderly from what you've been seeing.
00:02:09.820 Does that hold water?
00:02:11.400 It's just not true.
00:02:12.740 I mean, what has happened, what is fair to say, is that they took control of the military side of the airport.
00:02:19.120 They secured the perimeter.
00:02:20.360 They managed to move all those people we saw on the runway.
00:02:22.980 There's tragic scenes of people clinging on to C-17s.
00:02:25.620 But they didn't just go home.
00:02:28.640 Of course they didn't.
00:02:29.700 I mean, there are thousands and thousands of people down there.
00:02:33.980 It is a very scary, wild and dangerous place.
00:02:39.280 Oh.
00:02:40.120 Well, other than that.
00:02:42.000 Other than that.
00:02:42.640 Just like Biden said.
00:02:43.920 I should say, I think that was Friday.
00:02:45.460 So every report says it's deteriorated since then.
00:02:48.740 So that was the high watermark.
00:02:50.360 Yeah, well, yeah, of course, of course.
00:02:51.920 We have people on the ground now in Kabul and it is not good.
00:02:58.740 Let me just give you a couple of couple of things here.
00:03:04.580 I'm just reading around what I can.
00:03:06.840 Between 20,000 and 40,000 refugees are outside of the gates trying to get in.
00:03:14.140 The DOD on Saturday was not allowing anyone in.
00:03:21.040 16,000 people were stranded inside the gates at the terminal and on the tarmac waiting for flights.
00:03:31.760 The Taliban is using biometrics along the northern border to ID Afghans who worked for the coalition forces and killing them.
00:03:50.020 Now, gee, how are they getting the biometric information on those people?
00:03:54.740 That's weird, isn't it?
00:03:58.420 That's weird.
00:03:59.600 I wonder if we.
00:04:00.800 Oh, we did leave all of that information, didn't we?
00:04:04.380 Oh, yeah.
00:04:05.080 It was us again.
00:04:06.120 Shoot.
00:04:06.840 Yeah, that kind of sucks.
00:04:09.700 You know, it's not being mentioned at all is that the vice president of Afghanistan did not flee the country and was saying, hey, I'm over here.
00:04:19.960 I did.
00:04:20.940 Wait a minute.
00:04:21.640 I'm part of the government.
00:04:23.320 Trying to organize a president now.
00:04:25.720 Yeah, trying to organize a government and a resistance and we're completely ignoring it.
00:04:30.800 Well, the Taliban says.
00:04:32.880 Who cares what the Taliban says?
00:04:34.660 Did you see that the Taliban issued a red line to the United States government today?
00:04:40.380 Yeah.
00:04:40.640 A red line.
00:04:41.200 Do not cross this red line.
00:04:42.940 Or else.
00:04:43.680 Or else.
00:04:44.280 What?
00:04:44.540 Yeah.
00:04:44.960 What are we talking about here?
00:04:46.760 I know.
00:04:47.280 We lit the clip a minute ago and they're like, well, we were trying to deal with the Taliban requirements.
00:04:52.620 The Taliban requirements? 0.99
00:04:55.180 Who?
00:04:55.660 We're the United States of America.
00:04:57.560 They don't require things of us.
00:05:00.200 What is happening?
00:05:01.980 It's madness.
00:05:04.340 And, you know, like a few people put together an armed resistance in northern some of the northern districts.
00:05:11.100 A few people.
00:05:11.280 Not with any of the military equipment that we left behind.
00:05:15.960 No, the Taliban has it all. 0.94
00:05:17.200 Right.
00:05:17.660 They put together a small little resistance and drove them out of their villages.
00:05:22.420 Why aren't we doing that throughout the whole country?
00:05:24.680 Why aren't we doing that at the gates of the airport?
00:05:29.520 It is.
00:05:31.300 It's sick.
00:05:32.420 It is really sick.
00:05:34.460 What's what's what's happening?
00:05:36.760 By the way, CBS News.
00:05:38.240 They have finally, finally given us something crystal clear that on who to blame for the Taliban. 0.90
00:05:51.240 If you've lost your crop and your land or the Afghan government hasn't paid enough attention to you, then, of course, the Taliban can come and exploit it.
00:05:59.460 The they claim that climate change is partially to blame for the rise of the Taliban.
00:06:09.540 Now, when I read that first, I thought Babylon beat. 0.83
00:06:12.720 Right.
00:06:13.420 No.
00:06:13.920 CBS News.
00:06:15.100 CBS News.
00:06:16.600 That was a serious point is what you're saying.
00:06:18.720 It was a serious point.
00:06:22.300 You know, if if that's what you know.
00:06:25.700 Well, the only thing you could do when the temperature rises point nine degrees, no matter what the cause is, go to the Taliban, turn to Islamists. 0.89
00:06:33.040 Yeah.
00:06:33.460 Yeah.
00:06:33.820 Yeah.
00:06:34.080 That's usually what you do.
00:06:34.940 That's pretty much what you do.
00:06:36.060 Yeah.
00:06:36.180 My crop has died.
00:06:37.200 What do I do?
00:06:38.140 Go to the Taliban. 0.88
00:06:39.020 Let's go murder some girls. 1.00
00:06:40.560 Yeah.
00:06:40.820 Right.
00:06:41.260 Right.
00:06:41.600 That's the normal response.
00:06:43.260 Sharia law.
00:06:44.360 That's the only alternative to climate change.
00:06:46.440 Hey, here's another one.
00:06:47.780 I don't know if we covered this in our agreement with the Taliban, but this should have been a big don't do this to the Taliban.
00:06:56.360 One of our little red lines.
00:06:58.320 One of America's most wanted terrorists with a five million dollar bounty on his head is in Kabul.
00:07:05.000 He's reappeared.
00:07:07.080 And he is now one of the Taliban leaders mapping out the future of the country. 0.97
00:07:13.700 His name is Khalil Harkhani, and he has pledged a new era for Afghanistan.
00:07:21.560 He was leading prayers for the Taliban fighters at a mosque there in Kabul.
00:07:26.360 The Harkhanis, that's I guess a bunch of brothers, have been blamed for some of the deadliest terror attacks across the world in recent years. 0.99
00:07:34.280 They have been designated as a foreign terrorist group by the United States and United Nations.
00:07:42.320 Despite their reputation, they are expected to be a powerful player in the new regime following the Taliban's takeover in Afghanistan.
00:07:51.400 Another key leader of the Harkhani network is Anus Harkhani.
00:07:58.240 That is a good name.
00:07:59.780 And it now some might say it's pronounced an ass, but I think it's Anus Harkhani.
00:08:06.700 Uh huh.
00:08:08.320 He was also Anus was in the capital on Friday.
00:08:12.700 A he runs a Anus runs a shadowy group.
00:08:18.640 That's not a surprise to me.
00:08:20.200 Yeah.
00:08:20.440 One of the most powerful networks behind the Taliban.
00:08:23.760 And, uh, and, uh, you know, they, they, they, they, they've, they've been, uh, on the Jihad since the Soviets were in. 0.77
00:08:32.940 And now they're, you know, we, we, the CIA used them as an asset, uh, as an asset, asset, Anus and his group.
00:08:41.500 It was an asset, uh, for the CIA.
00:08:44.860 And, uh, yeah.
00:08:46.060 I'm surprised we were involved in that one too, huh?
00:08:47.680 Yeah.
00:08:48.220 Yeah.
00:08:48.740 Hey, wow.
00:08:49.180 Did you guys see the picture of the Taliban before and after the CIA training?
00:08:54.180 No.
00:08:54.660 You didn't see that photo?
00:08:55.500 No.
00:08:55.840 On the, on the top was the, uh, the Taliban all gathered together with their AK-47s with their fingers on the triggers.
00:09:03.120 Uh, post CIA, they all had the fingers off the trigger and, uh, and in the safety position.
00:09:09.800 Yes.
00:09:11.000 Oh, that's good.
00:09:11.940 Oh my God.
00:09:12.860 So the CIA trained them not to put their fingers on the trigger unless you're going to shoot somebody.
00:09:16.620 And I think that's what, that's what they do now.
00:09:18.460 Should they have tried to train them to not shoot the nine-year-old children?
00:09:21.800 Yes, they probably should have.
00:09:22.860 Okay.
00:09:22.960 I'm going to say yes on that one.
00:09:23.720 That was in the next lesson.
00:09:25.300 Ah.
00:09:25.420 But we needed to get out of there.
00:09:27.440 Yeah.
00:09:27.580 We needed to get out of there.
00:09:29.580 Um, did you see the, uh, the mock of Iwo Jima?
00:09:34.080 Yeah.
00:09:36.160 Do you see this still?
00:09:36.960 I don't know that I did.
00:09:37.900 Oh, they have the military uniforms now?
00:09:39.960 So this is them in our military uniforms and our, all of our assets.
00:09:44.660 This is them mocking Iwo Jima, raising the, uh, uh, the flag.
00:09:52.020 Oh my gosh, is that real?
00:09:53.360 The Taliban flag.
00:09:53.660 The Taliban flag over.
00:09:54.720 Yeah.
00:09:55.040 Yeah.
00:09:55.240 It is.
00:09:56.200 I mean, this is so embarrassing.
00:09:58.540 They're mocking us.
00:10:00.160 I can't believe that, that Twitter is still allowing them.
00:10:05.100 Facebook is still allowing them.
00:10:06.440 I mean, the Taliban has a meme department now and they're mocking us.
00:10:12.340 I saw an article that said, yeah, how, how can you, how can you cancel forever the former
00:10:19.240 president of the United States, Donald Trump, but you have the Taliban leadership up there.
00:10:23.240 Well, they're, they're following the rules of Twitter.
00:10:25.640 That's all.
00:10:25.880 They're following the rules of Twitter.
00:10:29.380 Oh.
00:10:30.640 Oh.
00:10:31.280 Oh, okay.
00:10:32.360 Huh.
00:10:32.920 All right.
00:10:33.320 Wow.
00:10:34.000 I can't.
00:10:34.960 I just don't even know how to.
00:10:36.220 I'm up there.
00:10:36.800 I guess, uh, whatever, uh, by the way, a flashback, uh, back to 2010, a letter back
00:10:47.500 and found in 2010 revealed that Al Qaeda targeted president Barack Obama, but not Joe Biden because
00:10:58.100 Osama bin Laden considered Biden to be an incompetent fool that would lead the U S into
00:11:05.780 a crisis.
00:11:06.760 What?
00:11:07.360 Where'd he get that?
00:11:08.400 He had forbidden Al Qaeda from trying to assassinate Joe Biden because he considered the then vice
00:11:13.580 president to be incompetent.
00:11:15.220 It was likely to lead the U S into a crisis.
00:11:17.160 If he were to assume the presidency, that era, Joe Biden was incompetent.
00:11:21.440 What is this era?
00:11:23.160 Incontinent as well.
00:11:26.880 Uh, you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:11:42.520 Rudy, uh, uh, is our, our CEO of the Nazarene fund.
00:11:47.860 Rudy.
00:11:48.160 Welcome.
00:11:48.680 How are you?
00:11:49.600 Hey, thanks Glenn.
00:11:50.980 It's good to hear your voice.
00:11:52.200 Good to hear you.
00:11:53.680 Um, can you give us an update?
00:11:55.820 You're on the air, by the way, give us an update on everything you can.
00:12:01.540 Yes.
00:12:01.940 So we're getting, we're getting our first, uh, 340 passengers out.
00:12:07.040 As we speak, the plane is getting ready to take off.
00:12:09.760 It's on the ground.
00:12:10.760 It's on the ground and being loaded.
00:12:13.760 Yes, it is.
00:12:14.860 Okay.
00:12:15.180 Good.
00:12:15.460 Um, so that's, that's, that's good news.
00:12:17.960 A lot of the people that are boarding are extremely dehydrated.
00:12:20.880 We had to, we had to move aprons because the, the, the, the tarmac is covered in feces. 1.00
00:12:27.080 There are over 16,000 people inside the airfield.
00:12:30.380 Um, it's an absolute mess.
00:12:32.260 The outside gate was just closed because of IED threats from ISIS.
00:12:37.560 Um, Taliban are blocking people on the outside perimeter of the airport and not allowing them through.
00:12:44.240 President, President Biden says that there's no harm coming to us citizens or people that are trying to get in that they're not being beaten by the Taliban or anything else.
00:12:53.400 Can you.
00:12:55.000 That's completely false.
00:12:56.680 Okay.
00:12:57.080 That is completely and unequivocally false.
00:12:59.460 Everything that's come out of this, this, this administration has been nothing but lies right now.
00:13:05.040 Our biggest obstruction has not been, has not been, you know, our ability to extract people, but it's been the U S state department.
00:13:13.540 That's, that's been obstructing.
00:13:15.160 We, we cannot get a single person in the state department to support us on the diplomatic front.
00:13:20.320 However, however, right now we, you know, different countries that want to take people or have agreed to take people.
00:13:26.680 People are requesting diplomatic notes from the state department that when they arrive, you know, one, two, three will happen.
00:13:33.060 And the state department keeps telling us, we will not write any notes.
00:13:36.820 We will not give you any support whatsoever.
00:13:38.780 So, so we're in the middle of diplomatic wranglings trying to figure out when we go rotate people in, rotate planes in to take them out where we're going to take them to next destination.
00:13:49.160 So we're in concert talking to, we have countries that will take them.
00:13:54.880 Why is our state department not willing to say, yes, you can move them.
00:13:59.960 They've been the biggest obstruction.
00:14:01.840 I mean, guys in DOD that I'm working with are, are leaning forward in the saddle to help us, but the state department, not a single soul in there is, is being helpful whatsoever.
00:14:10.900 I understand a lot of congressmen and senators are angry, they're writing letters and they're, they're trying to get things moving, but, but it's been extremely slow.
00:14:19.600 We've, I've never ever in my entire life seen anything so messed up and so discombobulated.
00:14:26.580 It's just, it's just been a nightmare for us, but we're determined to get people out.
00:14:31.500 I mean, we're figuring out different angles, different ways, the threat keeps increasing every single day for the people, not, and not, not only from, you know, from the, the different radical groups on the ground, but we're talking about dehydrations, people who are sick with medical conditions.
00:14:49.120 And, you know, there's no food and water, no bathrooms, like I said.
00:14:54.200 Um, so, you know, um, every second I hear different stories of air force wanting to send planes, they're focusing on American citizens, getting American citizens out, but we also have the SIVs and people who helped us until we clear the airfield from the inside, we can't bring people from the outside in. 0.94
00:15:13.320 So that's, that's the biggest dilemma right now.
00:15:15.980 So, so that's the part, that's the part that we're trying to sell as fast as we can.
00:15:20.280 How fast is the military transport planes going in and out?
00:15:26.320 Um, there are some planes coming in.
00:15:29.340 I heard there's going to be a fairly big rotation of military planes coming in today, but focused on American citizens.
00:15:35.920 I have not confirmed that yet.
00:15:37.980 I'm trying to confirm it.
00:15:39.820 Um, I, and I'll, I'll be jumping on some phone calls afterwards, but, um, it's, it's, it's been, I mean, the, the, the problem is, is normally when you do enough,
00:15:50.260 non-combatant evacuation, you put the department of defense in charge, and then basically the, the state department backbenches and supports in this case, it's flipped around.
00:16:00.100 So the state department is trying to run the show and the department of defense is in the back as backbenching.
00:16:06.060 That's why it's gotten so messed up.
00:16:08.320 And, and, and, and the state department is providing zero support, zero help.
00:16:12.880 Is, are, are other operations outside, uh, continuing outside of the airport?
00:16:22.920 Uh, we're working.
00:16:25.380 Yes.
00:16:25.780 I mean, we're, we're working, we're working on that diligently.
00:16:29.440 It's just, you know, the threats are so high right now and getting worse.
00:16:34.420 So, um, um, you know, without disclosing much, we're working on one piece of it.
00:16:40.300 Um, and we're coming up with lots of different options, um, as, as we, as we focus our attention on the airport at the same time.
00:16:47.920 Um, okay.
00:16:50.520 So do we have, we have the first plane ready to take off here in just a few minutes?
00:16:55.840 What time should that be taking off?
00:16:57.400 Do you know?
00:16:58.400 I think we only have a half hour on the ground, don't we?
00:17:01.740 No, no, we have a little bit longer than that.
00:17:04.780 It's going to be closer to an hour and a half, two hours, but, but, um, um, yeah.
00:17:10.240 Is that going to be followed by another one?
00:17:14.000 Do we, are we in a system yet of being able to rotate them?
00:17:19.540 We, we have, we have, we have currently multiple aircraft on tap, but, but we are in the middle of trying to sort out the diplomatic issue on the other end, but we have to clear any more people coming in.
00:17:36.000 And that is all, that's all because of the state department.
00:17:39.320 The state department could take care of this right now.
00:17:41.560 Oh, absolutely.
00:17:43.640 But, but nobody's stepping forward.
00:17:45.860 I mean, we spent the, I haven't slept in three days.
00:17:49.160 It's all we've been doing is calling people and, and trying to get, to get this issue sorted out.
00:17:54.140 My, my objective has been, you know, let's get them out of Afghanistan, wherever we take them and then deal with the aftermath there. 1.00
00:18:01.820 But it's, you know, you, it's hard when you fly a plane and then it gets diverted midair to, you know, to another place.
00:18:08.720 And then it sits on a tarmac and, you know, with a bunch of passengers who are dying of dehydration in the back and then you make matters worse.
00:18:16.320 So I'm, we're trying to sort that out all at the same time.
00:18:20.400 All right.
00:18:21.080 Um, what can we do here that would help?
00:18:24.140 Should we call our senators?
00:18:25.760 Should we, what, what can we do?
00:18:28.560 Call senators, call congressmen, get people, get people to, to shake the state department from the inside out and, and get them to, to, to provide us at least some diplomatic support where we can just go.
00:18:43.160 We have the assets to fly the planes.
00:18:45.200 We have the people on the ground to move the people, but we just need at least countries that will take them, uh, and, and help us with that, that, that portion of it.
00:18:53.600 And we all, so we're asking for the state department to give these planes, what diplomatics, go ahead.
00:19:02.240 Yes, we want, we want them to work through our, our embassies in the various countries just to say, you know, they will give a diplomatic note and say, please, if you take these refugees for 10 days or whatever, you've got them and then you can rotate them out to next destination.
00:19:17.760 At least it gives us a little bit of time to work with the bigger countries, you know, Western countries that have agreed to take, you know, refugees permanently, you know, time to cycle in other aircraft that come in and take them to final destination.
00:19:31.440 Okay. Good. Thank you very much, Rudy. And God bless you. We are praying for you and millions are praying for all of the people involved on your team. Thank you.
00:19:41.020 Thank you for all your support.
00:19:42.540 You bet. Bye-bye.
00:19:44.580 It's Rudy Atali. He is the, uh, CEO of, of the Nazarene fund. He was on the national security council, uh, for presidents past and, uh, and been in the air force for, I don't even know, 30 years.
00:20:01.040 Uh, and, um, is a remarkable, remarkable man.
00:20:05.520 Uh, so here's what I'd like to do. And if we can get one of our producers on the phone, let's get Ricky and Sarah, uh, start to man the phone.
00:20:14.180 Uh, let's get some of these, these, uh, senators and congressmen that we know on the phone, uh, and on the air.
00:20:24.140 We need you to call your senators and congressmen. There's some things that are going on that you will find out about later.
00:20:33.220 We're trying not to, uh, ruffle feathers until we can get people out. Uh, there's no reason to finger point, um, uh, until we get, uh, things out.
00:20:46.540 But the state department is a, is a problem is a big problem. And we need those members of Congress to, to move.
00:20:57.740 It is, this is one of the hardest, most heartbreaking things I have ever been involved in. Uh, I, I get good news.
00:21:08.100 And then the rug is ripped out from underneath me. Um, the, the way this is being handled is insanity, absolute insanity.
00:21:22.620 I've seen government operations and government operations don't always go your way. Um, but they at least will make sense.
00:21:31.680 If it's a military operation, it will at least make sense to some degree. This makes no sense on what is going on and we're a week into it and they're still doing this.
00:21:45.300 We have, what is it? Nine days. Is it nine days to the 31st? I don't even know the date today. It's 23rd today. Okay.
00:21:53.880 So we are running out of time. Uh, and as he's saying, it's getting worse on the ground. They are becoming more and more emboldened and we have to get these people out. Um, and we have the planes on standby. We have everything ready. Uh, when I asked if we were doing some of the other things outside, you don't know.
00:22:19.620 How people are risking their lives to help people right now. We have people that are in grave, grave danger right now, trying to get people to the airport. Um, you will be amazed when you hear this whole story.
00:22:38.260 Uh, but we need you to call your senators and congressmen right now, flood them right now.
00:22:48.420 And tell them we need the state department to give diplomatic passes to the airplanes that are loaded up with these refugees to, to, um, allow the UAE to take these people, uh, and hold them for 10 days until they can go someplace else. 0.92
00:23:13.720 This that we've already coordinated all of these other countries. We, we have everything we need. We have absolutely everything we need, except the Taliban is holding the gates and stopping us from bringing in some people. We're working on workarounds for that.
00:23:33.160 And then the other obstacle. And then the other obstacle, and these are the two, the Taliban and our state department, we already have everything else we need. 0.97
00:23:45.960 We have the countries where they're going to be accepted, where they'll be gladly taken. We have places for them to hold until they go to their final destination. We have it all.
00:23:59.600 We don't have all of the people because the Taliban, as Rudy just said, it, the president is lying to you. He is lying to you.
00:24:12.700 They are beating people at the gates. The other, the other obstacle is our state department. I believe it's one in the same.
00:24:27.340 Please call your Senator and your Congressman right now and ask them to please clear the problems with the state department to get these refugees out. 1.00
00:24:42.700 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:24:58.120 Saber Nasseri is known by a lot of people as Saber Rock.
00:25:02.540 He is an Afghan interpreter.
00:25:05.420 And now his family is being hunted by the Taliban because he was such a hero and helping the U.S.
00:25:16.700 Saber, welcome to the program.
00:25:19.200 Good morning, everybody.
00:25:20.960 And thank you so much, sir.
00:25:22.620 How are you?
00:25:24.960 I'm 50 percent OK, because I never give up.
00:25:29.580 Even I lost my fingers in the war.
00:25:31.680 Even I was on a front line.
00:25:35.860 But I know my family, they're hunting right now in Afghanistan and they have not been saved yet.
00:25:44.160 And the Taliban, they're looking my family around the airport of Kabul airport.
00:25:51.240 But I never lose hope.
00:25:54.660 I just kindly ask everyone to pray for me and we can we can save them.
00:26:00.260 So if you don't know what happened to Saber, he was one of the lead guys early on in the war in the Helmand province, which was one of the most violent regions in the area.
00:26:15.500 And they had to drive a wedge between the Afghani villagers and the Taliban and all of the communication then would be driven right right through rock, if you will, Saber Rock.
00:26:31.120 And it ended up really, really, really, really well.
00:26:37.180 They were doing a documentary film of it at the time.
00:26:40.860 And because of that, he had a three hundred thousand dollar bounty on on his head.
00:26:47.220 And and and your family now are has some of the family has gotten out and are in Dubai.
00:26:56.900 And we don't want to identify the family at all.
00:26:59.920 But you have other other members of your family that you're trying to get out.
00:27:05.100 And you say they're at the gates of the base.
00:27:08.260 Yes, I cannot share the location right now, but they're around the airport.
00:27:17.520 And, you know, I'm a little bit sad that become three weeks.
00:27:20.840 I couldn't sleep good.
00:27:22.380 And 24 hours, I sleep one hour because I don't feel, you know, happy.
00:27:29.600 I'm very upset.
00:27:30.520 I cannot eat because my my heart and this pain is from my heart.
00:27:35.240 You know why? Because I fought for this country.
00:27:39.480 I I'm an American citizen and I sacrifice for this country.
00:27:44.020 And they even made a documentary movie about me that I won Amy Award, Hollywood Award.
00:27:52.040 And now Mr. Joe Biden that I respect and like him.
00:27:58.940 I know one day he will change Afghanistan. 1.00
00:28:02.940 I know one day he will listen to the people of Afghanistan.
00:28:07.860 But unfortunately, he broke my heart.
00:28:11.920 Mr. Joe Biden broke my heart because he left my family behind.
00:28:18.240 He left the other allies behind.
00:28:20.900 And so, you know, some of the military force military retire like Colonel Mark DeVito, Mr. Brad Park, CEO of Hollywood Film Festival, and Nancy Reward, especially Lucas Rob Brothers that they made the movie about me.
00:28:44.780 And also Congressman Chris Smith, and also Congressman Chris Smith, Green Barrett, Jerry Torres, they all retire army and military forces.
00:28:53.980 They are helping me.
00:28:56.160 But Joe Biden, Mr. Joe Biden didn't.
00:29:01.480 Mr. Joe Biden is supposed to support and save my family.
00:29:05.340 He says that he says that he says that the Taliban is not beating people.
00:29:12.020 It's it's not they're abiding by, you know, the way they should behave in international law.
00:29:18.880 Any comment on on trusting the Taliban and what's really happening on the ground?
00:29:24.760 Whatever he said that maybe he mentioned to the social media, but I will show I will give you proof that the Taliban, they are looking for those people who serve for U.S. government, who serve for like a general colonel.
00:29:42.760 They are searching every single house.
00:29:44.740 They beat a lot of people.
00:29:46.060 They, they, they, they, they tell my family members, they beat my brothers, both brothers, that they are in Dubai right now.
00:29:54.760 His name is Raheem Ahmadi, Maher Nasseri.
00:29:59.180 So they're beating everyone.
00:30:01.240 I have proof.
00:30:02.980 You know, the people of Afghanistan want peace and democracy without interfere of foreigners. 0.90
00:30:11.240 But people of Afghanistan say we want majority people of Afghanistan say we want America.
00:30:19.880 We want United States forces to stay in Afghanistan for good.
00:30:25.140 If not, at least they can stay for 50 years because United States military there and other countries for 17 years.
00:30:36.160 Why they're letting us behind.
00:30:39.460 What's our, we didn't do anything.
00:30:42.220 So the voice is, the voice are from people of Afghanistan.
00:30:46.760 They're innocent people of Afghanistan.
00:30:48.180 Now, look, a lot of people, they are leaving Afghanistan.
00:30:52.680 What does it mean?
00:30:53.620 It means they don't like Taliban.
00:30:56.360 Majority of people of Afghanistan, majority means 99% of people of Afghanistan, they don't like Taliban.
00:31:03.660 Then they are kindly requesting from Mr. Joe Biden.
00:31:07.740 Mr. Joe Biden can change everything, can save all people of Afghanistan, if he can.
00:31:15.020 So they are kindly requesting, please, Mr. Joe Biden, save us from beast, save us from animals, Taliban or animals. 0.95
00:31:24.480 So let me ask you this, Saber, the Taliban army did not, it's not the Taliban, the Afghani army did not stand up to the Taliban.
00:31:37.620 But we're seeing now all throughout the country, these citizens in towns all over the country standing up and kicking them out of the area.
00:31:48.060 What is, what happened to the army?
00:31:50.260 What happened to, you know, your president?
00:31:52.900 Good, thank you so much that you brought that.
00:31:57.260 I graduated from political science in Afghanistan, and I'm an expert about Afghanistan.
00:32:02.380 I travel all over Afghanistan.
00:32:04.940 So it means that I'm telling you the truth.
00:32:07.840 So majority of, right now, majority of U.S. Afghan army, ANA, Afghan National Army, they are trying to join Mr. Ahmad, Mr. Ahmad, which is, he is the son of the leader of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Massoud, killed by Taliban.
00:32:30.320 He was the hero and champion.
00:32:32.800 Now they start, because 95% of Afghanistan is covered by Taliban. 0.73
00:32:38.920 5%, which is Panjshir province and some of the province in the north, they are under control of Mujahideen.
00:32:48.860 They are under control of the people who beat the Russia, who beat the China, who beat the England, who beat the Pakistan and India, whatever. 0.96
00:32:59.920 But what happened was the manager, the so-called president, Mr. Ashraf Ghani, he elected by U.S. government.
00:33:13.500 He elected by president of the United States, whatever it was.
00:33:17.640 He was the fraud, briber, and fascist president we ever had.
00:33:25.020 He was the hated president of Afghanistan.
00:33:30.300 So then the Taliban, they became strong.
00:33:34.460 Why?
00:33:35.120 Because Mr. Ashraf Ghani was supporting Taliban under table.
00:33:42.140 And Mr. Ashraf Ghani released a lot of Taliban.
00:33:46.320 Mr. Ashraf Ghani brought the representative of Taliban on the table.
00:33:53.220 The Taliban was lost in the war.
00:33:57.680 America won the war.
00:34:00.260 But Hamid Karzai, Ashraf Ghani, they support Taliban. 0.62
00:34:05.380 You know, the Taliban, they didn't expect that they get all province of Afghanistan like a water. 0.94
00:34:12.580 Why?
00:34:13.280 Because Mr. Ashraf Ghani called every corps.
00:34:17.920 We have 11 corps in Afghanistan.
00:34:21.400 They call them, they said, leave all your corps, all your battalion for Taliban.
00:34:27.860 But the people, the army, our army, Afghanistan army, they said, we can fight.
00:34:34.600 We have tanks.
00:34:35.800 We have helicopters.
00:34:37.260 We have ammunition.
00:34:38.760 And we have everything.
00:34:40.100 But Karzai and also Ashraf Ghani said, no, leave it.
00:34:46.940 Leave it to them.
00:34:48.060 That's why we lost Afghanistan. 0.99
00:34:51.200 The problem, majority of people of Afghanistan say, if we see Ashraf Ghani anywhere, we will not leave him alone.
00:35:01.440 They are very, very, very upset from Afghanistan. 1.00
00:35:06.400 When he left, because he apparently left with his family and his gold and everything else, it was kind of it looked as though he was leaving because of the Taliban.
00:35:19.740 He wasn't.
00:35:20.620 According to you, he's he's leaving because the people were angry with him.
00:35:25.860 He left Afghanistan for two reasons.
00:35:30.580 Number one, he stole 50 million thousand dollars.
00:35:36.760 Even he didn't took five million dollars with him.
00:35:40.460 He gave him to the PPS.
00:35:42.300 The reason why he left, because the people was angry on him.
00:35:46.020 Number two, he left because of the money.
00:35:48.760 He stole the money.
00:35:50.180 He got it.
00:35:50.900 He, you know, there was a three guy, three person control all Afghanistan.
00:35:57.540 Number one, Ashraf Ghani.
00:35:59.040 Number two, Dr. Mohib, which is he was not a doctor.
00:36:03.200 He was a nurse.
00:36:04.200 And there was another guy, Fazli, Mr. Fazli.
00:36:07.620 These three gentlemen cover all Afghanistan.
00:36:11.280 That's why the Taliban became upset.
00:36:13.600 The people of Afghanistan became upset.
00:36:15.540 They said it's better, the people of Afghanistan said, it's better that we can leave Afghanistan 1.00
00:36:21.460 because these three gentlemen sold every single mine to the neighbors.
00:36:28.480 But they have three, they have two faces.
00:36:32.820 Number one, the first face is just polishers.
00:36:36.940 I'm sorry to say that he polished everybody.
00:36:39.620 He, you know, he showed his sympathy to the people.
00:36:46.240 But the other face was just selling our country, our people, our army, our tanks to the enemies of the human being.
00:36:59.180 Right.
00:36:59.480 Including China.
00:37:01.500 Right.
00:37:02.020 That's where the mines went.
00:37:05.260 Of course.
00:37:05.920 The copper mine from east of Afghanistan, Ahmed Karzai sold it before, then Ashraf Ghani sold it.
00:37:12.840 But they sold it and they act under table.
00:37:16.300 Not on the table.
00:37:19.800 And I'm sorry to say that.
00:37:23.440 Kindly, I'm requesting from Mr. Joe Biden, please follow and emphasize Mr. Ashraf Ghani.
00:37:32.800 He is, he, you know, we won the war.
00:37:36.360 I'm a U.S. citizen.
00:37:38.060 United States won the war.
00:37:40.680 But now Taliban, they got celebration. 0.99
00:37:44.180 They got party.
00:37:45.420 They said we beat Russia.
00:37:47.420 We beat America.
00:37:49.400 It's not true.
00:37:50.940 It's not true.
00:37:51.800 If United States want to win the war or jump back, we have one link.
00:37:59.900 We have a big unit right now.
00:38:02.480 They are located in north of Afghanistan.
00:38:05.880 We call it Panjshir province.
00:38:07.480 The Panjshir leader, Mr. Ahmad, son of Ahmad Shah Massoud, champion of Afghanistan, you can just Google it.
00:38:18.160 He said we have 200 units, 200 special forces units, and the Taliban, they scared from them.
00:38:27.520 Yesterday, Taliban lost three villages and five cities.
00:38:34.820 So, creation has started.
00:38:37.640 The people, the northern people, northern line people said, we don't need support of United States now.
00:38:47.080 Right.
00:38:47.760 If the United States want to support us, we are kindly requesting and welcoming American forces.
00:38:54.360 We don't need military persons.
00:38:56.800 We need our nation.
00:38:58.660 We need air support.
00:39:00.340 Yeah.
00:39:00.560 Then, we promise in one year, we will get all Afghanistan. 1.00
00:39:06.320 We promise that.
00:39:07.660 So, we have a strong unit now.
00:39:09.660 Saber, I appreciate the insight on this, and I do hope that we change our tactics here,
00:39:18.660 because we are just abandoning our friends and so many women and so many little girls and children from having a safe future and a future of freedom.
00:39:32.260 Saber Nasseri, thank you very much.
00:39:34.200 Our best to you.
00:39:35.440 We will pray for your family, and we will do all we can to make sure that your family is with you here as an American citizen.
00:39:45.500 God bless you.
00:39:46.040 Na, na, na, na, na.
00:39:48.120 Na, na, na, na.
00:39:50.940 Na, na, na, na.
00:40:09.580 Na, na, na, na, na.
