Transcript

00:00:00.000 I want you to take a moment and really think about where you see yourself and your family in the next year.
00:00:06.760 Financially, where are you next year?
00:00:09.420 How about the next five years?
00:00:11.720 What happens if the economy goes horribly wrong?
00:00:17.100 Do you have your bills under control?
00:00:20.460 Are you saving money right now?
00:00:23.840 You don't have to restart your loan, your mortgage, to get a better mortgage interest rate.
00:00:29.600 And that's really important.
00:00:31.620 You can also pay down your mortgage faster.
00:00:35.000 I got a letter just the other day from somebody who said,
00:00:37.240 I just knocked a year off my mortgage and I'm saving a bunch of money.
00:00:41.800 You can roll in your high interest credit cards and save a buttload of money.
00:00:45.680 It's American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
00:00:52.720 It's AmericanFinancing.net.
00:00:55.640 All right, show begins in a minute.
00:00:57.620 Look out.
00:00:59.600 What you are about to hear
00:01:27.380 Yes, we are on a full-fledged duct tape high alert.
00:01:42.960 Please grab some duct tape if you don't have any.
00:01:47.700 Take some Saran Wrap.
00:01:49.140 Now make sure you leave a place for your nose and your mouth so you can breathe.
00:01:53.000 But wrap your entire head in Saran Wrap or duct tape.
00:01:57.840 It is not going to stop your head from exploding,
00:02:01.640 but at least you will have all of the pieces when they rush you to the hospital
00:02:05.800 after we go over the president's speech from yesterday.
00:02:10.920 Anyone who tells you that buying or selling a house isn't a team effort doesn't really know
00:02:22.320 anything about buying or selling a house, period.
00:02:24.960 It's one of the things I learned over the years of frustration trying to buy and sell houses with
00:02:30.560 mediocre agents.
00:02:31.540 Because when you have somebody who can come to the house that you want to put on the market,
00:02:36.240 look around and then say, OK, here's the things we have to do.
00:02:39.760 Here are the people to call.
00:02:41.280 They'll help you do it.
00:02:42.540 That's when you know you have the right agent or the right agent.
00:02:46.260 When you're trying to buy a home and you've got an agent who you can go to into the lion's den
00:02:52.740 with the sellers and the bank and negotiate aggressively to try to get you the best deal
00:02:57.700 possible, you know you have the right agent.
00:03:00.740 And those are the agents we're going to send to you free service to you.
00:03:05.160 If you just tell us I am in this town and I'm looking for an agent because I'm going to buy
00:03:09.640 or sell a house, we can help you with both the purchase and the sale.
00:03:14.180 It doesn't even have to be in the same state, same town.
00:03:16.760 We'll find the right agent for you at realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:03:23.280 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:03:24.620 It's a free service to you and my company.
00:03:27.800 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:03:35.340 OK.
00:03:36.720 All right.
00:03:38.820 OK.
00:03:40.020 I don't know about you, but I'm excited.
00:03:41.820 Oh, did you see the president's speech last night or yesterday?
00:03:48.320 Yeah.
00:03:48.900 Yeah.
00:03:49.320 It was Pat.
00:03:50.660 Did you did you enjoy it?
00:03:52.040 Oh, oh, yeah.
00:03:54.200 Like I've enjoyed few things.
00:03:55.840 Yeah.
00:03:56.280 And Stu, I saw your show last night.
00:03:58.980 I thought you were going to have a brain hemorrhage.
00:04:01.120 I did in the middle of the show.
00:04:02.800 I'm surprised you could talk.
00:04:04.260 If you can detect, I am still a little raspy.
00:04:07.820 Yeah.
00:04:08.280 I lost it and I basically blew a gasket for 20 straight minutes on this thing last night.
00:04:13.180 Drove me insane.
00:04:14.560 I know we try to avoid the word now, but I think it applies.
00:04:18.160 He's just evil.
00:04:19.920 He's just evil incarnate.
00:04:22.540 He's not a good guy.
00:04:23.720 He's not.
00:04:24.300 I mean, I watched that last night.
00:04:25.820 He does not care.
00:04:27.260 He doesn't care at all about what's going to happen to these people, about the interpreter
00:04:33.620 that actually helped him specifically in 2008, who is still stuck in the country.
00:04:39.400 He does not care.
00:04:41.800 Doesn't care.
00:04:42.720 I don't think any of these people do, quite honestly.
00:04:45.980 I really don't.
00:04:46.840 I don't think any of many of the people who are in Washington and especially those who
00:04:54.260 are the ones who are claiming all this woke crap, they don't they don't have any empathy.
00:05:00.840 They don't have empathy.
00:05:03.520 And I don't think President Biden has it.
00:05:06.060 And, you know, I don't know if I'm going to go down the evil road with you.
00:05:09.880 But join me.
00:05:11.020 Join me.
00:05:11.440 There's join me.
00:05:14.080 Now at the end.
00:05:16.020 All right.
00:05:16.800 Here is.
00:05:18.000 Here's a cut one from Joe Biden.
00:05:20.420 Last night in Kabul, the United States ended 20 years of war in Afghanistan, the longest
00:05:29.320 war in American history.
00:05:30.640 OK, it's not.
00:05:31.860 It's not.
00:05:32.160 One of the biggest airlifts in history.
00:05:34.680 Oh, my gosh.
00:05:35.660 More than 120,000 people evacuated to safety.
00:05:38.880 I want to see the names.
00:05:39.600 Why do you have to do that?
00:05:40.140 That number is more than double what most experts thought were possible.
00:05:44.240 Oh, yeah.
00:05:44.820 You know, twice as good as possible.
00:05:47.120 No nation has ever done anything like it in all of history.
00:05:49.340 They didn't have to.
00:05:50.460 Other countries don't have to do that.
00:05:52.720 The capacity and the will and the ability to do it.
00:05:55.060 And we did it today.
00:05:56.920 The extraordinary success of this mission.
00:05:59.340 Extraordinary success.
00:06:00.060 Was due to the incredible skill, bravely, and selfless courage of the United States
00:06:05.360 military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals.
00:06:09.780 This success argument is the most incoherent thing I've ever heard in my life.
00:06:14.020 It's like it's like saying, like, hey, we were playing with matches and gasoline in the
00:06:19.140 house and then we successfully evacuated out of the third story window by jumping to safety.
00:06:25.740 Well, like, wow.
00:06:27.040 What a congratulations, I guess, is what I would say to that.
00:06:31.080 Imagine Ronald Reagan making this speech.
00:06:33.720 Today, we all watched as the Space Shuttle Challenger reached its greatest moment.
00:06:43.960 This is a great day for NASA.
00:06:48.020 Now, many people will focus on the explosion.
00:06:51.100 But that teacher that went up, she went higher than anyone else in this.
00:06:58.860 And that's what we promised that she would be the first in space.
00:07:04.080 And we are just going to keep on going because nothing went wrong.
00:07:09.340 And no nation has ever picked up so many individual pieces of a space shuttle in such a short period
00:07:15.060 of time.
00:07:15.420 And you don't dare question me about the solid rocket, the solid fuel boosters.
00:07:24.320 How dare you say there might be something wrong with the O-rings?
00:07:28.600 Yeah.
00:07:28.960 Do you know how many fish we saved from falling space shuttle debris?
00:07:34.460 Jeez.
00:07:35.060 More than have ever been saved.
00:07:36.540 More than have ever been saved.
00:07:37.480 In American history.
00:07:38.420 That is what he's doing.
00:07:39.840 Uh-huh.
00:07:40.040 You know, if this is an extraordinary success, what does failure look like to this guy?
00:07:46.300 I'd hate to see it.
00:07:48.000 I would hate to see what...
00:07:50.180 Let me, let me, let me tell you something.
00:07:54.200 I want you, I wish, and I may show this picture on tonight's broadcast.
00:08:00.000 When you have seen the concertina wire, the razor wire that was all over the gates of the airport
00:08:14.140 and all around the border fence, when you see that, and we've seen pictures of people throwing
00:08:24.160 their babies over that fence, right?
00:08:26.540 Yeah.
00:08:26.860 And Marines catching them.
00:08:28.040 Mm-hmm.
00:08:28.560 What you haven't seen are the pictures that I have seen of the babies that fell into the
00:08:34.460 wire and then fought their way out and didn't make it.
00:08:39.620 I've seen those photos.
00:08:42.000 You need to understand how bad this situation was.
00:08:47.100 Mm-hmm.
00:08:48.760 Okay?
00:08:49.800 Anytime he says this was a success, I want you to remember the image that you now have
00:08:55.820 in your head.
00:08:57.480 This was not a success.
00:09:00.660 By any stretch of the imagination.
00:09:04.280 And people need to be held accountable.
00:09:06.840 Because if this is allowed to stand, and these people are allowed to just continue on
00:09:14.300 with no ramifications, you do not want to see what our military will turn into.
00:09:22.380 I am telling you now, we will become the darkest force ever, ever to walk the earth with our
00:09:33.340 technology and our resources, with our fighting machine that soon can be run robotically.
00:09:44.300 We will make the Nazis look like rookies.
00:09:50.500 If you are listening to me and you are in the military, you need to stand up today.
00:10:00.080 You need to demand accountability.
00:10:04.300 Do you know the only one that has paid and had to pay for accountability is the Marine
00:10:12.540 colonel that stood up?
00:10:14.880 He's the only one that's been held accountable for anything.
00:10:19.940 This must not continue.
00:10:24.800 Listen, by the way, in hour number two, because I'm going to give you some real stats.
00:10:29.720 All right, cut to.
00:10:33.820 The Taliban has made public commitments broadcast on television and radio across Afghanistan.
00:10:40.900 Why don't you say so?
00:10:41.860 On safe passage for anyone wanting to leave, including those who worked alongside America.
00:10:47.780 Stop.
00:10:48.720 Stop.
00:10:49.280 If they made TV announcements, then radio and radio and radio.
00:10:53.840 Don't don't forget radio.
00:10:55.020 Yeah.
00:10:55.400 Yeah.
00:10:56.480 And the Taliban, you know, talk radio can't be trusted, but the Taliban can be trusted on
00:11:01.180 radio.
00:11:01.680 Now, I don't know if they've tweeted it.
00:11:02.840 I know they still have access to their Twitter accounts, but I don't know if they tweeted it.
00:11:06.620 Last night, I was getting a report from what's going on, and I can't give you any details, but
00:11:15.040 I will tell you this.
00:11:16.900 The Taliban cares less about the people who were helping 20 years ago and translating.
00:11:25.400 They still will kill them, but they are actively hunting for those people who have translated
00:11:32.820 for us in the last five years, and anyone who says, oh, they're going to let them through
00:11:38.780 their checkpoint, doesn't know their ass from their elbow.
00:11:42.280 They have no idea what's going on, or they are lying.
00:11:47.360 So, Mr. President, which one is it?
00:11:50.420 Do you not really know what's going on?
00:11:53.900 If so, the 25th Amendment should be invoked.
00:11:57.300 If you do know what's going on, then you should be impeached for lying to the American
00:12:05.640 people on such a grand scale, it is staggering.
00:12:12.660 Finish the clip.
00:12:16.680 Next clip.
00:12:17.520 Let me be clear.
00:12:19.280 Leaving August the 31st.
00:12:21.260 Oh, this one.
00:12:21.820 Is not due to an arbitrary deadline.
00:12:24.380 Oh, it's not?
00:12:24.880 It was designed to save American lives.
00:12:28.280 Oh, my.
00:12:29.400 Is that hard to take?
00:12:30.560 Oh, my.
00:12:31.240 Oh, my gosh.
00:12:32.000 Oh, my.
00:12:33.280 Oh, my.
00:12:33.940 What are you talking about?
00:12:34.920 It wasn't an arbitrary deadline.
00:12:36.460 It was based on the Taliban deadline that they told us where there's going to be consequences
00:12:40.620 if you're not out by then.
00:12:41.780 Yeah, they gave us the red line.
00:12:43.060 Yeah, it was the Taliban's deadline.
00:12:44.780 It was not our deadline.
00:12:46.060 And I wonder if he used that.
00:12:47.420 It was designed to save American lives on the Gold Star families that just had 13 of their
00:12:55.020 family members slaughtered.
00:12:59.020 So this was designed to save lives.
00:13:01.720 And in addition to the 13 Marines and Navy personnel, there's 170 others that were killed.
00:13:09.520 You're you're not doing a very good job of saving lives.
00:13:13.580 If that if that's what this was about.
00:13:17.380 It couldn't have gone any better, though.
00:13:18.980 Do we have a Biden retreat speech earlier evacuations available?
00:13:23.620 Can we do that one?
00:13:24.620 Because this one I have to.
00:13:26.520 Yeah, it's crazy.
00:13:27.340 Gasket.
00:13:27.800 Here we go.
00:13:28.180 I may not be able to be all I need to be able to be on the air today because I have
00:13:39.360 so much to say and I will get people killed if I say information that I shouldn't.
00:13:45.540 And I also may just kill my entire business if I say what I feel.
00:13:51.480 Oh, I was so cool.
00:13:52.860 You want to talk about coming close to saying naughty words on television?
00:13:56.040 Yeah, I could.
00:13:56.920 I was so, so many times got halfway down a word and stopped mid-syllable.
00:14:03.040 Can I say something to you?
00:14:04.100 When you said that, I almost said naughty words.
00:14:06.660 You mean like this?
00:14:07.820 I almost said it just now.
00:14:11.040 Let me take a break before I hear this next clip.
00:14:14.880 One minute and we're back.
00:14:16.800 Greg lives in Alabama.
00:14:18.440 When he turned 53 last year, it seemed that age came up from behind him and hit him over
00:14:23.460 the head with a brick.
00:14:24.500 Like, I know that, Greg.
00:14:27.060 That's what happened when I turned 50, about the same age, 50, 53.
00:14:32.420 Aches and pains, aches and pains, the old story, except it wasn't that old.
00:14:37.400 53.
00:14:38.020 He found himself having a hard time just getting up and out of his chair, let alone going about
00:14:42.420 his daily routine.
00:14:43.920 He was getting desperate.
00:14:45.300 Then one day he heard me talk about relief factor.
00:14:48.140 He thought, I don't have anything to lose.
00:14:49.820 I mean, maybe this clown knows what he's talking about.
00:14:52.240 After a few weeks of taking it faithfully, Greg's aches and pains began to melt away.
00:14:57.340 He got his life back and so can you.
00:15:00.500 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
00:15:04.360 Order the three-week quick start trial for $19.95.
00:15:07.600 If it's not working for you in three weeks, if you're taking it as directed, well, then
00:15:13.740 you're out $20.
00:15:15.400 If it is working for you, go on to order more.
00:15:19.740 And that's what 70% of the people do.
00:15:21.820 Relief factor.
00:15:22.720 Get your life back.
00:15:23.700 800-500-8384.
00:15:26.080 800-500-8384.
00:15:27.880 It's relieffactor.com.
00:15:29.660 10 seconds.
00:15:30.600 Station ID.
00:15:31.080 I told you.
00:15:42.760 I told you at the beginning of the show, we were at a full-fledged duct tape alert.
00:15:49.020 And they don't happen very often on the program because we're so numb inside, really, that your
00:15:56.400 head doesn't explode anymore, but your head just might explode.
00:16:00.140 Here's the next clip from our fearless leader.
00:16:04.020 Now, some say you should have started mass evacuation sooner.
00:16:08.140 No.
00:16:09.220 And couldn't this have been done in a more orderly manner?
00:16:12.740 No way.
00:16:13.640 It was perfect.
00:16:14.500 I respectfully disagree.
00:16:16.040 Thank you, dude.
00:16:17.020 Good for you.
00:16:17.660 Imagine if we've begun evacuations in June or July.
00:16:21.320 Yeah.
00:16:21.960 Wait, stop for a second.
00:16:22.900 Stop for a second.
00:16:24.480 Why is that the marker?
00:16:25.640 When he took office was May 1st.
00:16:28.280 Yeah.
00:16:28.480 Why would we start in June or July?
00:16:32.320 And he's saying this as his outlier possibility.
00:16:36.020 It's after the deadline.
00:16:38.620 No, that deadline.
00:16:39.880 That deadline of August 31st was not arbitrary.
00:16:42.500 No, I'm saying the May 1st deadline.
00:16:44.240 He takes office.
00:16:45.620 There's a May 1st deadline.
00:16:47.180 He's saying, what if we tried this crazy thing where we started evacuations after the deadline?
00:16:52.840 That deadline was arbitrary.
00:16:55.640 The August 31st was not.
00:16:57.800 Oh, that was designed to save American lives.
00:16:59.860 I forgot about that.
00:17:00.880 Yeah, that one was designed to save American lives.
00:17:03.240 The May 31st, that was crazy and reckless.
00:17:05.920 That was just crazy and reckless.
00:17:08.120 And why would we start in advance?
00:17:10.900 Why would we do that?
00:17:12.240 Yeah.
00:17:12.420 Let's get everybody to panic and rush to the airport, which do you know what a kill box is?
00:17:19.020 You know what a kill box is?
00:17:19.920 Anybody know what a kill box is?
00:17:21.100 Okay, I think maybe you have to have security to know what a kill box is.
00:17:25.320 A kill box is when, let's say, this studio.
00:17:30.620 There's one exit out of this studio.
00:17:33.680 This is a kill box.
00:17:34.980 Somebody is in this.
00:17:36.440 This is a kill box.
00:17:38.220 They're shooting at us.
00:17:39.720 So what do you do?
00:17:40.420 The first thing you do is get out of the kill box.
00:17:43.540 We created kill boxes.
00:17:46.460 We put these chutes in and you all had to funnel through three chutes right where the Taliban and ISIS were.
00:17:58.920 We put you in a place where you couldn't get out forward.
00:18:03.000 You couldn't get out backwards.
00:18:05.060 You can't go sideways.
00:18:07.040 It was a kill box.
00:18:08.400 We allowed them to design three kill boxes and block us in.
00:18:14.360 Why would we do that?
00:18:15.600 Why would we do that?
00:18:17.560 Why weren't our Marines the ones outside protecting the gate and the kill box?
00:18:24.980 So if there was somebody that was coming in with a bomb, we'd shoot them in the head.
00:18:30.060 This whole thing was crazy.
00:18:33.040 Well, you're acting as if this could have gone better.
00:18:35.860 I know.
00:18:36.880 I'm sorry.
00:18:37.360 He's about to explain.
00:18:38.380 Okay.
00:18:38.780 All right.
00:18:39.140 Go ahead.
00:18:39.540 That it couldn't have gone better.
00:18:40.800 Okay.
00:18:41.080 All right.
00:18:41.740 American troops and evacuating more than 120,000 people in the middle of a civil war.
00:18:50.100 There still would have been a rush to the airport.
00:18:52.720 Wait.
00:18:53.360 No.
00:18:53.820 Breakdown of confidence and control of the government.
00:18:56.300 And it still would have been very difficult and dangerous mission.
00:19:01.260 The bottom line is there is no evacuation.
00:19:05.480 Evacuation.
00:19:06.500 End of a war that you can run without the kinds of complexities, challenges, threats we face.
00:19:15.320 You know, it's really weird.
00:19:17.020 I believe we ended the civil war that way.
00:19:21.760 I believe we ended the revolutionary war.
00:19:24.340 I believe we ended the war of 1812 in a rational way.
00:19:28.600 I think we did the Spanish American war.
00:19:31.420 I think we did World War I, World War II.
00:19:35.100 I know when we had all of our troops and we didn't kill Saddam Hussein or any of his
00:19:40.640 any of his revolutionary guard, that they were still sitting there, still sitting there
00:19:46.620 in Iraq.
00:19:47.560 We got all of our guys out without any kind of panic, without any kind of trouble.
00:19:51.760 Isn't that weird?
00:19:52.660 Yeah.
00:19:52.880 Here's the thing.
00:19:53.560 He can't think of any.
00:19:54.660 Every war ends this way.
00:19:56.220 No war ends this way.
00:19:57.760 All of our other wars didn't end this way.
00:20:00.800 The reason why we kept saying Saigon as a worst case scenario is because previous to
00:20:06.580 this, it was the worst case scenario.
00:20:08.880 Now this is the worst case scenario.
00:20:10.740 And Saigon wasn't on the last day.
00:20:13.160 Right.
00:20:13.920 Saigon happened over 30 days.
00:20:16.140 We had most of the people out.
00:20:17.240 And that's the thing.
00:20:17.900 Like, you know, he's like, oh, well, if you try to evacuate 140,000 people, it's going
00:20:21.760 to be chaos.
00:20:22.580 Yeah.
00:20:22.720 If you try to do it on the same day, sure it is.
00:20:24.940 But when you have multiple months, let's say you started in April.
00:20:30.800 And let's say, I don't know, maybe you did a thousand people a day.
00:20:33.900 Maybe there's four flights a day that leave with people that you needed to evacuate.
00:20:38.080 You could do, let's say, I don't know, 30,000 a month.
00:20:42.560 And over four months, you'd have the same amount.
00:20:44.760 Do you think there'd been chaos with four flights a day?
00:20:47.040 No.
00:20:47.420 No.
00:20:47.980 And no, there wouldn't.
00:20:49.080 And if you didn't have the Taliban roll into town.
00:20:54.140 Right.
00:20:54.600 You protect the city.
00:20:56.280 Correct.
00:20:56.820 And we were given that opportunity by the Taliban.
00:21:02.180 They called us and said, we're on the outskirts.
00:21:06.180 Would you like to protect the city or we will?
00:21:09.820 And we said, you do it because we didn't want to send in more troops because that would violate
00:21:14.980 the dumb, fake line that Joe Biden created.
00:21:19.500 This guy is.
00:21:21.100 OK, I'm going to give it to you, Stu.
00:21:22.660 I'm going to give it to you, Pat.
00:21:23.720 Evil.
00:21:24.200 It's evil.
00:21:25.180 It's evil what he's doing.
00:21:26.880 And, you know, the only the only the only caveat on that is he just may be possessed by
00:21:34.020 some because I think he might be dead.
00:21:35.900 Are you hearing him?
00:21:37.180 It's like it's like some spirit is in him trying to work all the gears and levers so
00:21:42.360 he can talk.
00:21:43.080 And he's like, the rescue of Afghanistan.
00:21:48.080 It's I mean, he is out of control, out of control.
00:21:55.220 Where is where where are the good Democrats?
00:21:59.700 I want to hear from you because this is this is a matter of this, a matter of life and death
00:22:07.860 for all of us.
00:22:09.600 This is the end of all credibility for our country.
00:22:14.500 Will you will you just stand and say the president needs to be held accountable for this bloodbath
00:22:23.120 debacle where we we didn't even answer our allies phone calls for 40 hours?
00:22:32.340 Will will any Democrat actually have the balls to call 888-727-BECK?
00:22:38.680 More in a minute.
00:22:39.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:13.900 Tonight, I'm going to tell you things that you have not heard or seen before.
00:24:19.620 Tonight at 9 p.m., I'm going to show you everything that led up to this chaos.
00:24:26.660 It is a step-by-step litigation that should lead to massive resignations within the Biden
00:24:33.660 administration and top military brass.
00:24:36.580 Americans died.
00:24:38.260 Americans to this day are stranded.
00:24:41.900 I can tell you this.
00:24:44.260 And I'll go into further detail tonight.
00:24:46.620 But we are getting calls from senators and from congressmen all over the country that are saying,
00:24:58.140 we have stranded Americans.
00:24:59.320 Can you help us get them out?
00:25:01.460 They're not calling the White House because they know there's no use in calling the White House.
00:25:08.440 Because of you and your donation to the Nazarene Fund, there are Americans that are leaving there today.
00:25:18.380 There are Americans that left there tonight.
00:25:21.800 There are people we have.
00:25:23.640 We have broadened the board rules because this is such a humanitarian crisis.
00:25:29.820 The Nazarene Fund is taking anyone who is legitimately targeted out.
00:25:38.340 You know, we said for religious persecuted minorities, but we're making it persecuted minorities.
00:25:45.160 Just anyone.
00:25:46.080 We are focused on Christians, but there is, you don't have any idea how many people are marked for death and we have abandoned, including American citizens.
00:26:05.200 Tonight, I will show you.
00:26:07.560 And I'm going to introduce you to the person that we have not said this before, but you want to talk about a miracle.
00:26:17.700 We couldn't get anybody out of the airport in Kabul.
00:26:21.180 It was an absolute cluster.
00:26:24.100 It was so unorganized, so unbelievable.
00:26:29.260 No planes were leaving.
00:26:30.920 There was no chance of rescue efforts.
00:26:34.200 And the head, the COO of the Nazarene Fund, we've had him on.
00:26:39.980 We'll have him on tonight to talk about it.
00:26:42.080 I have not said this previously because I didn't want anybody to change any of the rules while we still had a chance of getting people out of Kabul.
00:26:53.500 JSOC made the head of the Nazarene Fund, our COO, the head of all commercial flights in and out of Kabul.
00:27:06.460 Now, how that one happened is God.
00:27:10.720 There's no other reason why suddenly a group of people are trying to get people out and they're like, you know what?
00:27:19.040 Could you just run the airport?
00:27:20.640 Uh, yes.
00:27:21.540 It's because of your donation.
00:27:26.760 And tonight you need the truth on what is happening.
00:27:31.800 And tonight at 9 p.m.
00:27:33.840 I will show you.

00:28:06.000 Tonight there is a very long, hard road ahead.
00:28:10.320 By the way, we're also in New Orleans.
00:28:12.300 I should just let you know that, too.
00:28:13.820 We're we've got people that we're supporting on the ground in New Orleans.
00:28:17.160 We haven't forgotten about you.
00:28:18.520 Okay, uh, where do you want to go, Stu?
00:28:22.800 What what's next on the hit parade of really nightmarish things our president said yesterday?
00:28:27.580 Let's come up with maybe his single just dumbest point.
00:28:31.000 And he continues to make it.
00:28:32.720 You ever get one of these guys who's just like, I have a really good point.
00:28:35.800 And they continue to make it.
00:28:37.080 And every time you hear it, you're like, why is he think this is a good point?
00:28:41.780 Andrew Cuomo did this.
00:28:42.900 He kept saying, like, we fix we fix the we created the LaGuardia Airport.
00:28:49.200 And it's the newest airport in the last 25 the first new airport in the United States in 25 years.
00:28:55.540 It's like, well, wait a minute.
00:28:56.680 First of all, LaGuardia is not a new airport.
00:28:58.960 It was built in the 1930s.
00:29:00.380 And it sucks.
00:29:01.240 And there's a there's an airport built in 2019 in the United States.
00:29:05.340 What are you talking about?
00:29:06.260 This is the equivalent, I think, of this point out of alliance, which is pretty, pretty new, pretty new.
00:29:11.640 Here is his point on Yemen, which is just the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
00:29:17.600 I respectfully suggest you ask yourself this question.
00:29:20.100 Oh, God, I know what he's going to.
00:29:21.640 We've been attacked on September 11th, 2001 from Yemen.
00:29:25.940 Yemen instead of Afghanistan.
00:29:27.960 OK, OK.
00:29:29.040 Would we have ever gone to war in Afghanistan?
00:29:31.700 Whoa.
00:29:32.140 Oh, wow.
00:29:33.100 Even though the Taliban controlled Afghanistan in the year 2001?
00:29:37.220 Think about it.
00:29:38.480 I am.
00:29:39.060 And I don't understand.
00:29:40.200 Let me ask you this.
00:29:41.820 If we were attacked, if we were attacked by the Taliban and they were with the penguins in Antarctica,
00:29:49.260 right, would we overthrow the the emperor penguin?
00:29:53.480 Would we do it?
00:29:54.600 Would we do it?
00:29:55.840 That's actually a better point than what he's saying here.
00:29:58.720 We weren't attacked from Yemen.
00:30:00.760 If we were attacked from Yemen, then we probably would have gone back to Yemen.
00:30:04.460 Right.
00:30:04.680 Like, that's probably what would have happened.
00:30:06.660 That doesn't make any difference to what we're dealing with currently.
00:30:09.900 And by the way, it's history.
00:30:11.900 It's already happened.
00:30:12.800 I love people like, well, let me ask you this.
00:30:15.740 If George Washington, Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln were all Nazis, would you still love the country?
00:30:23.780 No, they weren't.
00:30:27.380 Okay.
00:30:28.200 It's like the people who used to call sports radio all the time and say, what if the Yankees had Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Babe Ruth right now on this team?
00:30:39.620 Do you think they'd win?
00:30:41.640 Yeah, it doesn't matter.
00:30:43.220 No, because they're all dead.
00:30:45.760 It's not going to happen.
00:30:47.020 Now up to bat, the coffin of Mickey Mantle.
00:30:49.780 Now, he doesn't just have this one incredible point on Yemen.
00:30:52.940 That's a hypothetical.
00:30:53.960 But let me give you another one here.
00:30:55.680 This one on China and Russia is going to blow your mind.
00:30:59.240 Okay.
00:30:59.860 He's a deep thinker.
00:31:00.780 The world is changing.
00:31:03.980 We're engaged in a serious competition with China.
00:31:08.360 We're dealing with the challenges on multiple fronts with Russia.
00:31:12.520 Okay.
00:31:12.880 China and Russia.
00:31:13.600 We're confronted with cyber attacks.
00:31:15.300 Right.
00:31:15.780 Cyber attacks.
00:31:16.400 Nuclear proliferation.
00:31:17.160 Yeah.
00:31:17.860 We have to shore up America's competitive to meet these new challenges.
00:31:21.500 in the competition for the 21st century.
00:31:24.620 Okay.
00:31:25.080 Great.
00:31:26.500 We could do both.
00:31:27.760 Okay.
00:31:28.200 What we didn't do either.
00:31:29.180 Fight terrorism.
00:31:30.120 And take on new threats that are here now.
00:31:32.480 You're doing that.
00:31:32.760 And we'll continue to be here in the future.
00:31:34.740 We're doing none of these things.
00:31:35.580 But none of them.
00:31:36.160 There's nothing China or Russia would rather have.
00:31:39.200 Okay.
00:31:39.440 Would want more.
00:31:40.360 All the reliance of Afghanistan.
00:31:41.700 Politician in the United States to be bogged down another decade in Afghanistan.
00:31:45.960 Okay.
00:31:46.380 Yeah.
00:31:46.940 We were so bogged down.
00:31:49.400 We were so bogged down seeing that the largest loss of life happened on his watch in one day.
00:31:56.080 Right.
00:31:56.400 The largest loss of life.
00:31:57.540 And I think in 10 years.
00:31:58.540 Yeah.
00:31:58.760 In a decade.
00:31:59.760 By the way, you're not doing anything about cyber terrorism.
00:32:03.240 Uh, where, where, where was that big heavy hand on cyber terrorism?
00:32:08.660 Uh, and by the way, if we really are in a race against these two monsters, China and
00:32:16.480 Russia, why would you hand the largest deposit of rare earth minerals and lithium to China?
00:32:25.280 Well, in Joe Biden's construct of this, there's nothing China and Russia would want more than
00:32:30.520 to not have access to these rare earth minerals.
00:32:34.500 They're Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.
00:32:37.220 They get together, they have some vodka and they say, you know what we would want more
00:32:41.600 than anything else is to have American military presence in our region and have America be
00:32:48.760 respected by their allies and have every single time we have a military conflict from now on
00:32:55.400 to have them be respected and know that the promises America makes will be kept.
00:33:00.740 We really want that.
00:33:03.600 We really want an American military presence right next door.
00:33:08.720 That's what they want.
00:33:10.380 I mean, it's, it's an insane, he's saying that they, we, that China and Russia would rather
00:33:16.700 have us gone from their region.
00:33:18.700 Well, what insane person believes that obviously they'd rather have access to $80 billion of
00:33:27.260 our equipment so they can look at it and see how it's built, how it's constructed, how they
00:33:32.360 can attack us if need be.
00:33:34.360 They have access to all these rare earth minerals.
00:33:37.000 I don't know.
00:33:37.500 You think China and Russia could do anything with 95% of the opium business in the world?
00:33:42.380 You think they could do anything with that?
00:33:43.700 Let me, let me ask you this.
00:33:44.940 This is coming from, I mean, you who clearly think that China would rather not have Americans
00:33:52.700 stopping their, uh, their, uh, their giant highway to the West.
00:33:58.240 Right.
00:33:58.980 You know, they, they, they now can get Pakistan to continue their, their, their, uh, what is
00:34:05.580 it?
00:34:05.900 Belt and roads, roads and belts initiative, uh, where they are, they, they already have a deal
00:34:12.240 now with the Taliban to build that highway.
00:34:15.160 Now, all the way across, uh, Afghanistan, we just handed it to them.
00:34:21.200 We are enabling China and you know, nobody, I have not heard anyone really question this,
00:34:28.340 but we know, we know that Joe Biden is on the payroll or has been on the payroll of China.
00:34:38.680 He may not currently be getting any money, but he has gotten millions of dollars from China
00:34:46.080 personally, illegally.
00:34:49.160 We know it.
00:34:51.600 So did he just sell the American people out?
00:34:56.280 Is this treason?
00:34:58.040 Did he sell the American people out to China for a price?
00:35:02.740 Because that is an impeachable offense, bribery, bribery.
00:35:08.780 We know he has been taking bribes.
00:35:12.260 We know it.
00:35:13.740 We won't do anything about it, but we know it.
00:35:17.580 Our president has sold America out to the Chinese so he could have a vacation home.
00:35:25.260 So his screwed up loser's son could continue to just screw prostitutes and screw America.
00:35:43.060 Yeah, but what about Trump's collusion with Russia?
00:35:46.280 What about that?
00:35:47.000 Why aren't you talking about that?
00:35:48.440 Oh my God.
00:35:48.980 I mean, we heard about that for four years and we're not hearing any of this with with
00:35:55.220 Biden because he gets the protection of the media.
00:35:58.200 OK, so all that information is out there and available.
00:36:01.320 Let me give you some really good a good spin on all of this.
00:36:06.900 They are meaningless.
00:36:08.980 They're meaningless.
00:36:10.360 Look at what you've done.
00:36:12.640 Look at what people who have just said, screw the State Department, screw the military,
00:36:17.800 screw the president.
00:36:20.000 I don't really care what they say.
00:36:22.120 I know what's morally right.
00:36:24.740 I know what America stands for.
00:36:28.680 We don't leave people behind.
00:36:31.520 And we all went in, not just the Nazarene.
00:36:33.940 There are so many people, so many organizations that are there on the ground.
00:36:40.380 Many of them have people in far much more danger than we have currently.
00:36:45.740 And they're doing the right thing.
00:36:47.540 And we don't need the government to tell us what we can and cannot do.
00:36:54.380 Don't don't feel overwhelmed by these clowns.
00:36:58.420 They are clowns.
00:37:00.040 And in their arrogance, they will destroy themselves.
00:37:04.340 It's already happening.
00:37:06.780 Look at what they're doing.
00:37:08.640 They're just destroying themselves.
00:37:10.240 And yes, they're destroying us at the same time.
00:37:13.360 But if we remain always loyal to the principles of this country, if we remain loyal to the United States as first stated in our Declaration of Independence,
00:37:29.800 and we do the right thing and we square ourselves with God, say, Lord, I will take all of the punishment that is coming to me.
00:37:39.480 I will, please, I beg you, don't pass it on to our children, please, please, we will do the hard things.
00:37:47.820 We will do what you ask us to do.
00:37:51.000 Forgive us, Lord.
00:37:53.120 Just keep us with an open heart, a peaceful heart, but a backbone of steel.
00:38:01.800 Back in a minute.
00:38:11.360 I'm going to tell you this again.
00:38:13.040 It's like I love this sponsor.
00:38:16.000 They are.
00:38:16.380 They do so much good.
00:38:17.660 I love this sponsor.
00:38:18.440 But I just looked at this and I thought, you know, what else am I going to say?
00:38:22.520 What am I?
00:38:23.040 What else am I going to say to get you to switch to Patriot Mobile?
00:38:26.300 It's a better service.
00:38:27.580 It has the biggest coverage of any of them.
00:38:30.100 They're on the same towers.
00:38:32.100 You get a lower price, better customer service.
00:38:37.860 What else do I need to say?
00:38:39.340 Oh, here's another thing.
00:38:40.760 Other than that, why would you go to Patriot Mobile?
00:38:43.120 Yeah.
00:38:43.520 Oh, and the other thing is they're not in league with those who are trying to destroy us.
00:38:50.680 This is a big company that is actually on our side.
00:38:55.160 Why haven't you canceled your mobile service yet?
00:38:57.920 Honestly, why haven't you done it?

00:39:15.580 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:16.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:22.540 Let me give you some good news, at least here in the state of Texas today.
00:39:27.020 The heartbeat law is in effect here in Texas.
00:39:32.380 Yeah.
00:39:32.560 Prohibits abortion once an unborn baby's heartbeat is detectable.
00:39:36.420 And that's, you know, about six weeks.
00:39:38.540 Exceptions are allowed if the mother's life is at risk, which is almost never the case.
00:39:43.040 But unique from other heartbeat laws.
00:39:45.340 This legislation includes a private enforcement mechanism that allows people to file lawsuits against abortionists who violate the law.
00:39:52.340 So it doesn't have a criminal element to it.
00:39:55.540 But you're trying to just you're trying to discourage abortionists, obviously, from performing them because they can get sued.
00:40:03.240 Anyone can sue them.
00:40:04.080 And they'll they'll fight those lawsuits.
00:40:05.660 But that's fine.
00:40:06.600 Tie them up in court.
00:40:07.660 Right.
00:40:07.840 But the other the other thing is, is Texas has already passed a restriction on abortion.
00:40:14.420 Texas will be anti-abortion if Mississippi wins their case.
00:40:22.520 If they win their case in the Supreme Court, then Texas will automatically be an anti-abortion state.
00:40:31.180 And then it can be.
00:40:32.020 They've already set that up.
00:40:33.040 They've already set it up.
00:40:33.840 And it will be enforceable by law, too.
00:40:36.040 And we should point out the other side has happened as well.
00:40:38.760 Left.
00:40:39.020 What states have said, if it gets overturned, they will lead it.
00:40:42.220 Good.
00:40:42.600 Let our let our states that don't believe in killing babies reap the blessings.
00:40:47.400 Let's let evil stand on its own.
00:40:50.100 Yeah.
00:40:50.480 Compare it.
00:40:51.320 Good versus evil.
00:40:52.540 I don't want any part of being evil.
00:40:55.360 Let them do it.
00:40:56.800 And it's a positive step.
00:40:58.260 Very positive step.
00:41:00.060 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:06.660 Hello, America.
00:42:07.840 We are working hard to get the truth out to you.
00:42:11.500 Uh, and we're also trying hard to get Americans, persecuted Christians, and women, girls, all of these people that are marked for death by the Taliban.
00:42:27.020 We are trying to get them out.
00:42:29.360 Uh, but at the same time, it seems as though the State Department and our administration is doing all they can to discredit, destroy, and obstruct anyone who's trying to do that.
00:42:41.840 Somebody who worked tirelessly last night, and I can't tell you, nor can she, what she worked on last night.
00:42:49.080 But she was, she, oh, I feel bad for anybody who was on the other side of the phone call or the conversations with Marsha Blackburn yesterday.
00:43:01.280 She was helping.
00:43:03.780 And she joins us in 60 seconds.

00:44:31.140 I want to give you a quick update.
00:44:34.000 The Nazarene Fund has raised in the last, what, two weeks now, $33,480,424.25.
00:44:47.680 We are doing our best to be—
00:44:49.920 Is that good?
00:44:50.400 We are doing our best to be extraordinarily frugal and faithful to you, because I know what that donation—I don't care if it was a dollar, I know what it meant to you.
00:45:06.080 And you can still donate, if you haven't yet, to NazareneFund.org or MercuryOne.org.
00:45:12.060 We continue to rescue thousands of people.
00:45:16.560 I will be able to tell you someday, hopefully very soon, what we're working on last night.
00:45:25.420 A lot of people were taken out, and I will tell you, it is because we had a few pit bulls on our side.
00:45:34.620 I think we had three senators and a few congressmen that were all up in the face of the State Department.
00:45:41.620 And probably the one I would not want to be on the receiving end of, at least this is what I was told last night, is Marsha Blackburn.
00:45:50.880 She is the senator from Tennessee, and I wanted to publicly thank her for helping last night.
00:45:59.220 Senator, how are you?
00:46:00.420 I am doing well, Glenn, and thank you for the great work that y'all are doing trying to rescue people.
00:46:08.220 It is astounding to me that we have an administration that has proven themselves to be very intentional in creating a mess.
00:46:22.280 And I say that intentionally because they have gone about this in such a way they knew what was going to happen.
00:46:32.760 And I believe that they made decisions that they wanted to have a date certain that they could say they ended this war.
00:46:43.680 It didn't matter to them if they turned this over to the Taliban, because what they have done in this war is to take an ideology that we were fighting, the war on terror.
00:46:58.400 Why was it called that?
00:47:00.260 It was called that because we were not fighting a nation state.
00:47:04.280 We were fighting terrorists.
00:47:07.620 Now, they were harbored in Afghanistan, and that is where they cooked up the September 11th plot.
00:47:15.720 But what this administration has done is to give them control of a nation.
00:47:23.780 It is now the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan.
00:47:29.460 They are in control.
00:47:30.720 They now have a very well-equipped military because of what we have left behind.
00:47:38.780 They are working with the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians.
00:47:44.960 The Chinese want that land route from Beijing to Tehran.
00:47:49.360 They wanted that for a long time.
00:47:51.900 They want the rare earth minerals that are in Afghanistan.
00:47:54.780 The Chinese want to be able to reverse engineer our military equipment and then sell that at a cheaper, more affordable price.
00:48:05.140 The Iranians want to sell that to all of their proxy networks.
00:48:10.080 So, the Biden administration has opened the door for these radical extremists.
00:48:19.980 And what we are going to see is a less safe world.
00:48:25.180 And I will tell you this.
00:48:27.240 One of the things that has really bugged me about the entire process as they've moved forward is that they will not secure the southern border.
00:48:37.760 We've already apprehended known terrorists at the southern border.
00:48:42.280 France has apprehended a terrorist who escaped from Bagram after we foolishly turned over the Bagram airfield.
00:48:51.220 So, Joe Biden, the decisions that he has made along the way are so out of where the advice of intel or military would have been that you have no other way that you can look at it other than to say, I guess they did this intentionally.
00:49:14.600 Well, tell me, I know we can't talk about what you were working on last night.
00:49:21.760 Can you just tell me if it was successful in the end?
00:49:25.700 I lost track last night.
00:49:28.660 I think we just have to say we're all continuing best efforts to get people out.
00:49:36.680 OK, thank you for all of your hard work on this.
00:49:42.260 Do you when you see the president say that there's only 100, maybe 200 Americans left in Afghanistan that want to leave?
00:49:54.440 Any thoughts on that?
00:49:55.920 Yeah, it's that many, too many, you know, 90 percent, he says, is good enough.
00:50:03.160 And he's out here taking a victory lap on 90 percent.
00:50:10.020 I'm just it's you know, how do you say, oh, OK, it's all right to leave 10 percent of our people behind enemy lines and we're out of here.
00:50:23.140 Uh, you just do not do that.
00:50:26.680 Do you believe?
00:50:27.520 Hang on a second.
00:50:28.380 Do you believe that number?
00:50:31.120 You know, Glenn, I think it is more than that, because they had said 10 to 15,000.
00:50:36.380 Uh, you look at the number of cases that many of us, our caseworkers in our offices have worked on and you start looking at what we're doing and then you hear them say, well, all of a sudden they went from as many as 15,000 down to 5,500 and or 6,000 or 6,500.
00:51:01.000 And so their mass is not adding up.
00:51:06.120 But, you know, the fact that they could give you the inventory on the military weapons, the fact that they could tell you the exact number of people that have not been vaccinated for COVID, but in the U.S. military.
00:51:22.460 But they cannot tell you the number of Americans or where they are located who are in Afghanistan and who are seeking to get out and to say they called every one of these people 19 times.
00:51:38.480 I mean, really?
00:51:39.340 You know, I and then you have, of course, the interpreter who helped to save Joe Biden and John Kerry, and he's gone to the airport.
00:51:50.400 He can't get out.
00:51:52.080 We're hearing other stories of people who went to the airport.
00:51:56.140 We know of people who are SIVs that went and could not get in.
00:52:00.640 So this has been complete disarray and the way they approach this, pulling the military out first, leaving citizens, leaving our partners, whether they're our NATO partners, allies or our Afghan partners that are there.
00:52:18.880 And to me, these precious souls who are there, who are now going to have to suffer, these women and girls who are going to be raped, they're going to be turned into sex slaves, they're being forced into marriages to these Taliban fighters.
00:52:39.860 This is just such a travesty.
00:52:43.780 Can you comment at all on the role of the State Department in all of this?
00:52:51.580 To me, it's been very disappointing that the State Department has not been aggressive in processing these SIV applications.
00:53:05.900 Some of these have been in the works for years.
00:53:08.760 Or to do this, they would say, well, the interpreter, guide, translator, embassy employee, we can get them out, but not their family.
00:53:22.840 You know, this is ridiculous.
00:53:25.500 It is a family unit.
00:53:27.760 And if the principal of that family, the one attached to the U.S. were to leave, what is the Taliban or al-Qaeda?
00:53:38.600 I know Joe Biden doesn't think al-Qaeda exists anymore.
00:53:42.400 Or ISIS, what are they going to do?
00:53:45.540 They're going to hold hostage or they're going to kill those other family members.
00:53:51.860 The thing is, their life will not continue as it has because of the persecution that they will be called on to face.
00:54:02.860 Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee, thank you so much for coming on the program.
00:54:08.900 Thank you for everything that you're doing right now.
00:54:11.740 We're going to continue to work hard and we're going to continue to pray.
00:54:16.040 Good. Thank you.
00:54:17.780 Take care. Bye-bye.
00:54:18.700 That is the best example of why I could never be in public office, because that was the most statesman-like conversation I have heard.
00:54:37.460 Congratulations on not burning every bridge, because I would have burned the house down.
00:54:45.940 But thank you, Senator Blackburn, for everything that she is she is doing.
00:54:51.700 She she she was a lion yesterday.
00:54:56.280 All right. Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
00:54:58.440 Dave lives in Pennsylvania.
00:54:59.720 He found himself suffering from regular sharp pains in both his shoulders and his feet.
00:55:04.020 He heard about Relief Factor on the program for a long time, but he was skeptical.
00:55:07.280 I feel that I feel that, brother.
00:55:10.900 I feel it, David.
00:55:11.920 I was exactly the same way.
00:55:13.660 He said the pain got worse and all of his options had basically run out.
00:55:17.420 He decided I might as well.
00:55:19.100 I might as well give this a try.
00:55:21.040 Well, he did.
00:55:22.840 He the most he was going to lose, he felt, was 20 bucks.
00:55:25.800 So why not?
00:55:27.020 He didn't have to wait long to find out.
00:55:29.040 He said with just in a couple of weeks, the pain in his shoulders and his feet were beginning to melt away.
00:55:33.920 In a few weeks, it was gone.
00:55:36.760 Dave got his life back.
00:55:38.580 And so can you.
00:55:39.920 Relief Factor.
00:55:40.420 It's not a drug developed by doctors and about 70 percent of the people who try it go on to order more.
00:55:45.440 You can order the three week quick start for only nineteen ninety five.

00:56:03.920 You know, all of this is going to come out and I'm going to help that tonight at nine o'clock on Blaze TV.
00:56:16.860 I'm going to show you things that you haven't seen or heard before.
00:56:21.460 And we're going to talk to the people who are down on the ground.
00:56:24.920 That is tonight, 9 p.m.
00:56:27.580 You want the truth of what's happening?
00:56:29.680 Why don't we talk to the people who are actually doing it, who are actually there?
00:56:32.640 That's tonight at nine, only on Blaze TV.
00:56:36.860 Look for the Glenn Beck Wednesday night special and we'll we'll tell you all about it tonight.
00:56:43.420 Right after a brand new Stew Does America.
00:56:49.980 That would have been more effective if I would have followed it with something.
00:56:52.900 But for some reason, I just didn't want to.
00:56:55.320 Secret texts in secret texts that have now been released.
00:57:03.040 We are abandoning American citizens, an army colonel wrote in a frantic series of texts.
00:57:10.060 That how he was describing how Americans were rejected at the airport as rescue flights awaited them.
00:57:16.600 I've seen this happen.
00:57:20.340 I don't know about this particular one, but Joe Biden says there's an extraordinary success.
00:57:24.960 No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't.
00:57:27.880 An army colonel assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division wrote Sunday in frustration in a series of encrypted text messages that detailed the failed effort to get a group of American citizens out hours before the last soldiers departed Afghanistan.
00:57:42.920 The text messages and emails were provided to just the news by Michael Yon, a former special forces soldier and war correspondent.
00:57:53.060 Yon told just the news that a group of Americans were abandoned at the Kabul airport.
00:57:59.220 We had them out there waving their passports, screaming, I am an American.
00:58:03.620 In the heart-wrenching scene, it unfolded this weekend as U.S. military prepared to exit the capital.
00:58:12.140 People were turned away from our gate by our own army.
00:58:17.120 After the episode ended, the Americans scattered to safe houses to avoid being captured.
00:58:22.140 You guys left American citizens at the gate.
00:58:25.260 Three empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them.
00:58:30.400 You and I talked on the phone.
00:58:31.840 I told you where they were.
00:58:33.900 I gave you their passport images and my email and phone number and you left them behind.
00:58:40.320 He added, great job of saving yourselves.
00:58:43.960 You'll probably get a lot of medals.
00:58:47.460 That's just one of the three dozen text and email exchanges with frontline army officials in Afghanistan.
00:58:55.680 This is all going to come out.
00:58:58.060 This is all going to come out.
00:58:59.560 And it should come out.
00:59:01.960 By the way, something else that's now coming out.
00:59:05.000 Biden offered aid.
00:59:06.880 Now, listen to this.
00:59:07.600 Do you remember what the whole what was the whole thing that Donald Trump was impeached for?
00:59:13.260 He called the president of another country and said, look.
00:59:17.120 If you look into these things, I'll give you these missiles.
00:59:21.940 That's what they say.
00:59:22.600 That's not what he did.
00:59:23.420 But that's what they say.
00:59:24.740 Right.
00:59:26.080 I'll support you.
00:59:27.300 Right.
00:59:27.720 If you look into these things about Joe Biden.
00:59:30.420 Right.
00:59:30.680 OK.
00:59:30.960 There's a new report now of a June 23rd phone call.
00:59:36.860 Biden called the Afghan governments to work on a perception problem.
00:59:44.660 The quote from the president.
00:59:47.060 I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan.
00:59:52.980 I believe things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban.
00:59:59.060 That's what the world believes.
01:00:01.500 Biden said there is a need, whether it's true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.
01:00:11.500 This is in the phone call where he was offering aid.
01:00:16.360 To the government run by Ghani.
01:00:19.840 Hmm.
01:00:22.560 Now, you could.
01:00:24.120 I think the way they're saying that that was meant was to say you need to project to your country that this isn't fun.
01:00:31.500 You need to project to the world this isn't falling apart because people are going to lose confidence in the regime.
01:00:38.780 Yeah.
01:00:39.060 I don't I don't I don't really give them the benefit of the doubt on anything anymore.
01:00:43.060 When they when they tell us we didn't leave dogs behind.
01:00:48.500 When they tell us we didn't leave Americans behind.
01:00:51.500 When they tell us that things are going extraordinarily well.
01:00:55.820 That there were no mistakes that they're all like this when you end a war.
01:01:00.520 I don't believe anything they say.
01:01:02.200 I don't give them the benefit of the doubt.
01:01:03.720 They have lost that privilege.
01:01:06.220 They have lost that privilege.
01:01:08.160 He was saying he was going to get Americans out.
01:01:10.160 But that was like, you know, late August.
01:01:12.280 I know it was 10 days ago and 10 days ago.
01:01:14.820 That's more than four or five days.
01:01:16.520 Yeah, that's like double five days ago.
01:01:18.860 My understanding is anything that happened four or five days ago is completely irrelevant.
01:01:22.300 So something that happened 10 days ago is like ancient history.
01:01:25.540 How old were you 10 days ago?
01:01:27.480 By the way, just to give you more, Jen Psaki asked about the leverage that the United States
01:01:33.780 has over the Taliban, because that's that's their line.
01:01:36.120 We have leverage over the Taliban.
01:01:37.820 In fact, the line is we have enormous leverage over the Taliban.
01:01:43.040 That was from the secretary of state.
01:01:45.860 She said that's because we'll provide access to the global marketplace.
01:01:51.280 Boom.
01:01:52.020 Boom.
01:01:52.640 Right.
01:01:53.160 In your face, Taliban.
01:01:55.080 If you just agree with us and don't murder our citizens, we'll give you lots of money and access to markets,
01:02:00.600 which I know is a high priority for Islamic extremists.
01:02:03.640 And China is there already offering you, you know, access to their market.
01:02:08.980 And many of our corporations have sold our country out because that market seems to be worth more than this market.
01:02:15.220 So let's just let's just try to con you into believing that we have any power or any market that you want access to other than to destroy it.
01:02:27.080 Why is anyone giving these people the benefit of the doubt at this time?
01:02:33.760 I renew my I renew my challenge.
01:02:36.800 Is there anybody who voted for Joe Biden as a as a Democrat?
01:02:42.340 Is there any Democrat that will join us on the right side of history and just say, OK, this is horrible what is going on?
01:02:53.560 This is horrible what's going on and someone needs to be held accountable.
01:02:59.020 You can call me 888-727-BECK.

01:04:19.600 It's a brand new episode of Glenn TV tonight, right after a brand new Studios America.
01:04:25.020 It's all part of Blaze TV.
01:04:26.220 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.
01:04:28.580 A very special episode.
01:04:32.900 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:04:35.960 Let me give you two things from our government.
01:04:39.740 The State Department has come out with a travel advisory level four.
01:04:47.040 Don't travel to Afghanistan due to civil unrest, armed conflict, crime, terrorism, kidnapping and COVID-19.
01:04:56.480 Travel to all areas of Afghanistan is discouraged.
01:05:00.780 I just bought a ticket.
01:05:04.040 I know.
01:05:04.540 They said everything was so great.
01:05:06.320 I thought I could go there because it was going to be great and the Taliban was great.
01:05:11.260 I sometimes wonder if these timeshares are a scam.
01:05:13.680 You know, they keep telling me I'm going to be able to use my property wherever I want.
01:05:18.480 And then it's never available when I want it.
01:05:20.640 OK, so the Pentagon also said there are no military working dogs that were left in Afghanistan.
01:05:25.600 Now, I don't know if this is true.
01:05:28.560 I'm not up on the dogs.
01:05:30.680 I wish I were.
01:05:32.920 I prioritize lives of humans not on the same level of dogs.
01:05:38.940 I if you've got dogs and you can get them out and, you know, they're fine.
01:05:44.440 And just put them in the put them in the aisle of the plane.
01:05:46.900 I don't really care.
01:05:47.780 But I haven't looked into the dog situation.
01:05:52.240 So I say this with a grain of salt here.
01:05:56.460 I don't trust the Defense Department that they said they they got all the working dogs out.
01:06:02.540 But we'll never know because it's not like one is going to escape and then, you know, tell their story on 60 minutes.
01:06:09.180 The Pentagon said, we invest listen to this.
01:06:13.120 We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into these dogs.
01:06:15.980 We wouldn't leave them behind.
01:06:17.120 Yeah.
01:06:17.600 Tell that to the Black Hawk helicopters.
01:06:21.100 Jeez.
01:06:22.220 We don't want to let they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
01:06:25.560 We're not going to leave them behind.
01:06:27.620 Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
01:06:28.820 We're not going to leave behind.
01:06:29.660 But we leave 85, 85, 30 to 85 billion dollars worth of military equipment behind with no real.
01:06:35.940 But not the dog.
01:06:36.740 Not the dog.
01:06:37.140 No, we drive the lawn at the dogs.
01:06:38.820 That's a that's a lot of money we're leaving behind.
01:06:41.120 By the way, if there are any actual military dogs that were left behind, I hate to say this, but it is true.
01:06:50.360 They're most likely all dead by now.
01:06:52.800 And here's why they are trained not to like the Taliban.
01:06:58.660 If the Taliban came and saw them all in the airport in cages, those dogs would go crazy.
01:07:06.460 And they would kill the dogs before they got out of the cage, I'm guessing, by the way, the dogs would have been right for going crazy, seeing the Taliban open their cage.
01:07:20.840 And there is a little bit of hope that one of them had a Taliban member by the throat and ripped it out.
01:07:28.460 But I can't confirm nor deny.
01:07:31.980 Tonight at nine o'clock is my Wednesday night special, and I am going to be telling you the truth of what is happening in Afghanistan.
01:07:44.380 I am going to be giving you what I can from the ground of Afghanistan tonight at 9 p.m.
01:07:56.280 You don't want to miss this episode.
01:07:59.440 And please join us and become a Blaze family member.
01:08:02.820 We need your support.
01:08:04.100 I haven't even had a chance to tell you what's going on now.
01:08:06.740 They're there.
01:08:08.200 They are coming for the Daily Wire and the Blaze and anybody, anybody that differs with the opinion of those in power.
01:08:22.300 Standing against the man has never been harder in America, and we need your support.
01:08:29.840 Please join us and become a member of the Blaze.
01:08:32.540 It's like the price of a I think you're paying a price of like one of those mocha latte grande pieces of crap that you get from.
01:08:43.240 You know, I'm so proud not to be a Starbucks user.
01:08:47.160 You know, I don't know the language.
01:08:49.900 I feel like I'm in France when I go there.
01:08:52.900 I don't know.
01:08:53.900 Sorry, I don't know the language.
01:08:55.860 I just want a big one.
01:08:57.800 Can I just get it?
01:08:58.860 Can I just get a big hot chocolate, please?
01:09:01.300 That's all I want.
01:09:03.220 And they're like, oh, I don't know what he's saying.
01:09:05.440 A big hot chocolate.
01:09:06.660 Do we have big hot chocolate?
01:09:08.040 What does big mean to him?
01:09:09.860 I don't know.
01:09:10.760 Oh, I hate that.
01:09:12.020 We got a garbage can out back.
01:09:14.380 You want us to fill that thing up?
01:09:15.340 Yeah, no, that's, yeah, I, we always say that.
01:09:21.080 That's like the way we always summarize the Blaze membership.
01:09:24.400 And a lot of people do that.
01:09:25.160 Like it's one grande coffee.
01:09:27.300 Who in this audience is like, well, that's very relatable to me.
01:09:31.500 I get a lot of grande macchiato.
01:09:33.260 Okay, so let me just say this.
01:09:35.100 It's probably the price of maybe three cups of coffee at Dunkin' Donuts.
01:09:40.380 Okay?
01:09:40.620 Or like a Subway sandwich and a half at this point.
01:09:45.000 They're like $7 or $8 already.
01:09:46.580 Was it $9.95 a month for the Blaze?
01:09:48.840 I don't even know.
01:09:49.700 Yeah, I think that's without the discount.
01:09:51.560 I don't even know either.
01:09:52.480 I think it's under $10.
01:09:53.840 Yeah, it's under $10.
01:09:54.600 Under $10.
01:09:55.280 And I think there is a discount.
01:09:56.220 If you use the code GLEN, that's a great investment because we...
01:10:00.360 Desperately need you?
01:10:01.080 We desperately need you?
01:10:02.380 And not just us.
01:10:03.860 I mean, we need to have a place where conservatives can speak and be...
01:10:09.920 And not be in fear of everything they say, getting them thrown off their careers.
01:10:14.820 The point is here, and I know other conservative outlets, some at least, incentivize you to give your honest opinion.
01:10:23.540 Like, I think the only thing that we would ever be upset about here is if someone was trying to hide what their honest opinion was for some...
01:10:31.940 That's not necessary.
01:10:34.180 For some reason like that.
01:10:36.380 And I don't think...
01:10:36.540 I just was saying.
01:10:37.320 I don't think that that's necessary at all.
01:10:39.880 The point is that...
01:10:41.300 Sorry.
01:10:41.460 We could always use your help.
01:10:42.560 And there's other places like Daily Wire, like Fox Nation, like many others.
01:10:47.660 Yeah, and I would urge you, I would urge you to support, if you are a member of the Blaze, or if you think, it's not going to do anything, I don't want to listen to this clown or see another episode of Stu, you know, you don't find value in what we do or, you know, Mark Levin or anything, then go find somebody that does.
01:11:09.260 If you are a member of the Blaze and you can't afford it, go find somebody else that you can support.
01:11:14.860 This is not a zero-sum game, at least on our side.
01:11:20.060 We want to make sure that everybody is doing well in the conservative.
01:11:23.260 And I know most of the other conservative platforms feel exactly the same way.
01:11:28.220 So please support us.
01:11:30.240 And we'll see you tonight at 9 o'clock.
01:11:32.900 I've been doing a lot of thinking on what has to happen.
01:11:36.460 And everything that we have ever talked about since 2008 is now happening in ways that even I didn't foresee coming.
01:11:48.040 And it is bad.
01:11:50.480 It is very bad.
01:11:51.680 And so we are at a place now we have to ask ourselves, what do we do?
01:11:55.440 This is why we started the 9-12 project years ago, because you have to be rooted in principles and values.
01:12:04.120 Later this week, I'm going to go through some of that.
01:12:06.480 But I urge you, urge you to look at Martin Luther King's checklist for civil disobedience.
01:12:16.560 Because we are at the place now where you can put evil side by side, because evil isn't cloaked anymore.
01:12:24.720 It's full out in the open.
01:12:27.120 You're seeing what they are doing to the country.
01:12:30.400 You're seeing how they are treating people in Afghanistan.
01:12:34.800 You're seeing all of it.
01:12:36.280 And the lies are clear, because you can A-B compare them.
01:12:40.780 And Martin Luther King said, you have to have good versus evil.
01:12:47.520 There has to be a movement.
01:12:49.180 And if you had people striking back, this is why I disagreed with the Proud Boys.
01:12:57.360 I appreciate their willingness to be engaged.
01:13:03.040 I really do.
01:13:03.920 I don't know if I agree with everything they believe in.
01:13:06.940 I don't honestly know what they believe in.
01:13:09.040 But I don't like the fact that they're engaging in violence, because then you can't tell the difference between the good side and the bad side.
01:13:19.400 And I just want to go over these for a second.
01:13:23.320 And I urge you, please download these and teach these to your children and do them every day.
01:13:31.040 Please.
01:13:33.080 He said, and he handed this out to anyone who wanted to march with him.
01:13:37.460 I hereby pledge myself, my person, and my body to the nonviolent movement.
01:13:42.980 Therefore, I will keep the following Ten Commandments.
01:13:46.100 Meditate daily on the teachings and life of Jesus.
01:13:51.500 Really important.
01:13:53.820 This is what Gandhi did.
01:13:55.640 This is what Martin Luther King did.
01:13:57.680 This is what Abraham Lincoln did.
01:14:00.700 This is what George Washington did.
01:14:02.860 You must root yourself in those teachings.
01:14:07.900 Remember always that the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation, not victory.
01:14:14.280 This one is a problem for a lot of people.
01:14:17.300 And you have to understand.
01:14:20.200 Reconciliation means reconciliation with the truth.
01:14:23.500 I'm not.
01:14:23.820 We can't reconcile ourselves with people who say men can be pregnant.
01:14:27.820 No, I know they can't.
01:14:30.820 No, they can't.
01:14:31.420 And a man can't ever become a woman.
01:14:34.560 He can cut his parts off.
01:14:36.380 He can have, you know, surgery and he can also take hormones.
01:14:40.600 But that doesn't make him a woman.
01:14:44.340 Now, he can feel like a woman.
01:14:46.220 He can claim he's a woman.
01:14:47.620 But when I'm in a court of law, I'm in a hospital and I know that's a dude, but he really looks like a woman when it comes down to it.
01:14:57.760 And he's really sick.
01:14:59.220 I'm going to say to the doctor, by the way, my friend has had surgery.
01:15:03.760 He he started life as a guy.
01:15:05.860 He's a guy because that's important.
01:15:08.260 That truth is important.
01:15:10.540 Literally, when that's been ignored, people have died because of it.
01:15:13.040 Die in hospitals.
01:15:13.740 They think they're dealing with men and actually it's a female problem that they write because the paperwork says man.
01:15:19.820 Exactly right.
01:15:20.800 So we are we cannot reconcile with people who are not going to tell the truth.
01:15:26.640 We want to reconcile with the truth on our side, on their side.
01:15:31.880 And that way there is no victory except for the truth.
01:15:36.580 One side doesn't win because then the other side is a loser.
01:15:39.600 It's really important to understand that or we'll never come back together.
01:15:45.100 Walk and talk in the manner of love for God is love.
01:15:53.720 Wow.
01:15:55.840 Physician, heal thyself.
01:15:57.640 And I can because I am a doctor, but I haven't been doing a good job of taking that medicine.
01:16:02.840 Pray daily to be used by God in order that all men might be free.
01:16:09.820 This one, I can tell you, I have seen.
01:16:13.360 I have seen this in action.
01:16:16.880 And.
01:16:18.460 If people just do what they're supposed to do, it's not it's it may seem small.
01:16:25.340 It may seem insignificant.
01:16:26.740 It may seem like that's not going to change the world.
01:16:29.740 That's not even going to change the neighborhood.
01:16:31.040 It doesn't matter.
01:16:32.060 Does it change you?
01:16:34.380 Whatever it is that you are supposed to do, do that and just stay steadfast.
01:16:40.980 I will tell you, there are many things that I was told to do that I didn't understand until the last few weeks.
01:16:47.020 And I've been I feel like I was told to do this 15 years ago.
01:16:51.840 And I got to the point to where I'm like, well, that was stupid.
01:16:55.040 Was it just me?
01:16:56.020 No, my time isn't his time.
01:16:58.900 Just do what you're supposed to do, even if it doesn't make sense.
01:17:05.640 Pray to be used by God.
01:17:09.260 Sacrifice your personal wishes.
01:17:11.320 I want to I want to have more likes.
01:17:13.380 I want to be liked by people.
01:17:15.560 I want to be in the popular crowd.
01:17:18.040 I want to work here.
01:17:20.340 I want to keep my job.
01:17:22.260 Don't don't don't.
01:17:24.940 If it means you have to lie or be somebody that you are not, don't do it.
01:17:32.920 I know that seems like easy advice for me to give you.
01:17:38.280 But it's not.
01:17:39.520 I've already paid and anybody in this industry has already paid a very high price.
01:17:46.480 Believe me, we could have thrown our lot in on the other side and been just as famous and everything else.
01:17:55.140 We chose not to.
01:17:58.880 And we will pay.
01:18:00.540 I fear someday if this road continues to be traveled on, some of us will pay the ultimate price.
01:18:08.760 That's OK.
01:18:10.620 That's our choice.
01:18:12.840 You have to make your choice as well.
01:18:15.880 And your own personal wishes have got to be set aside for our the sake of our children and the sake of freedom of all men.
01:18:30.100 The easiest way to do it.
01:18:31.740 Step seven, seek to perform regular service for others and for the world.
01:18:36.040 That's why the Nazarene Fund is so important.
01:18:39.360 Eight physician heal thyself.
01:18:41.920 Not good on this one.
01:18:42.760 Refrain from the violence of fist.
01:18:44.440 Yes, tongue or heart.
01:18:46.880 No and no.
01:18:48.800 Nine, strive to be good in good spiritual and bodily health.
01:18:53.180 Yes and no.
01:18:54.920 Ten, follow the directions of the movement and the captain on all demonstrations.
01:18:59.720 That is Martin Luther King's pledge.
01:19:02.380 And I urge you to read it, to post it in your home and do it every day.
01:19:09.300 You're going to need it.
01:19:11.400 Back in just a minute.
01:19:12.360 I want to talk to you for just about a minute of about AMAC.
01:19:17.940 That's the Association of Mature American Citizens.
01:19:21.080 This group is now over two million members strong and it's growing every day.
01:19:25.740 It's it's not just the type of group that you want to join, you know, when you're 50 year old or to get the discounts and everything else.
01:19:34.460 This one is for people that are still actively engaged in life.
01:19:40.120 You're going to get all those discounts and everything else.
01:19:42.380 But AMAC members have played a significant role in stopping the past passage of House Resolution 1, the Pelosi federal takeover of all the election legislation.
01:19:53.240 And they're going to be asked to do the same to stop Senate passage of House Resolution 4, another terrible bill trying to establish federal control of all elections.
01:20:04.400 We we we have to have a powerful collective voice.
01:20:08.720 And AMAC is one of those organizations that is what that that packs a wallop when they speak because we're all in it together.
01:20:18.620 AMAC join for the advocacy and join for the benefits and the information.
01:20:24.420 But join because America needs you to stand together.
01:20:28.120 AMAC a M a C dot U.S. slash back.
01:20:31.560 That's AMAC a M a C dot U.S. slash back.

01:23:59.400 Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann.
01:24:01.200 How are you, sir?
01:24:02.780 Hey, Glenn.
01:24:03.560 How are you?
01:24:04.040 I have been I have been a fan of yours for since I was Captain Scott Mann.
01:24:09.120 It is a real honor to talk to you.
01:24:10.980 Well, I feel the same way, but let's let's talk about what you've just recently done.
01:24:16.840 Can you tell us about Task Force Pineapple?
01:24:19.940 Yeah, Task Force Pineapple was a nickname that we got that that was the rescue of one Afghan commando where we he was in duress.
01:24:32.180 He was retired in duress and was trying to make his way out, but he couldn't.
01:24:37.880 So a handful of Green Berets.
01:24:39.100 We got on the phone with him.
01:24:40.300 We became his eyes in his ears.
01:24:41.740 And we another ABC reporter, James Meek, and a congressional staffer.
01:24:46.300 We formed our little and we did it all remote.
01:24:48.500 I know some of the reporting is that we went into country.
01:24:50.580 We actually used our trust, our relationships, which is kind of the Green Beret way, working by with and through indigenous people.
01:24:57.920 And then we just became his eyes in his ears and we helped him navigate and move through the city, ultimately got him through the wire and onto an airplane with his family.
01:25:06.400 And we did that with about 700 families or 700 Afghans in three days.
01:25:11.500 That's unbelievable.
01:25:13.360 Absolutely unbelievable.
01:25:16.060 Yeah, it's a testament to Glenn, too.
01:25:18.400 You know, our combat veterans, what what I was so proud of for these retired Navy SEALs, these Green Berets Marines is that when everybody else got angry, they got to work.
01:25:28.460 You know, they just said, you know what, we're not going to leave anybody behind.
01:25:31.820 We're going to honor the promise to the to the families and the Afghans who stood up for us.
01:25:36.840 And we don't leave people behind.
01:25:38.600 And that's just what we did.
01:25:39.800 And these are volunteers.
01:25:40.640 These are business owners.
01:25:42.520 These are employees.
01:25:43.980 They called in sick from Amazon.
01:25:46.220 The one guy that led the Underground Railroad through a sewage canal that coordinated it is is is an elementary school teacher inspired by Harriet Tubman, who retired from SF.
01:25:55.780 I mean, it's just amazing how our veterans showed us what leadership looked like.
01:26:01.300 So are you I'm not going to even ask you that.
01:26:05.700 I'm not going to ask that question.
01:26:06.880 When you hear the president say that there's only a couple hundred people left.
01:26:13.680 Do you have a comment on that?
01:26:15.380 There's still a lot of work to be done.
01:26:18.840 And, you know, we don't want to work at cross purposes with it, with the Biden administration or any administration.
01:26:24.160 We intend to honor a promise and fill the gap that the government's not filling.
01:26:29.060 And for you, what we're doing right now is we are pivoting into, you know, the airfield was what we think of as rescue.
01:26:36.060 We are now a citizen liaison network is moving to recovery.
01:26:40.220 We have already been working to move Afghans in this new situation.
01:26:44.960 And we have we've moved them to safety and we've moved them to freedom, whether that's a federal judge, prosecutor or a group of Christian children.
01:26:53.500 That's what we're doing.
01:26:54.620 High risk, high profile Afghans.
01:26:56.720 We're not leaving anybody behind Operation Recovery dot Oregon.
01:27:00.520 We are moving people and we're going to keep moving them.
01:27:02.920 And we're hoping that the Biden administration will work even closer with us the way, you know, FEMA works with Team Rubicon.
01:27:08.960 These are SF dudes and SEALs that have been doing it for 20 years.
01:27:12.900 We know what we're doing and we're viable and we can help.
01:27:16.160 Have we have we been involved in any of these things with you, the Nazarene Fund?
01:27:24.160 And if not, please know that we are there to help you any way we can.
01:27:28.980 We'd be honored to work with you.
01:27:30.400 I appreciate that.
01:27:30.600 I appreciate that, Glenn, and saying here, I think any of the you know, this is a time for I believe that I'm so encouraged that Americans, regardless of our political affiliation, take those negative feelings and put them into resolve.
01:27:42.820 It's the first time that I've seen Americans getting behind our mists.
01:27:47.600 And, you know, it's you know, our veterans, man, they have been through some crap and they're showing us how we come together and how we lead with resolve.
01:27:55.340 And so we're right there at your shoulder.
01:27:57.100 I would love to do that.
01:27:58.520 And we're going to honor this promise.
01:27:59.940 So anybody who's inspired by honoring the promise for these heroic Afghans, you know, let's do it together.
01:28:05.940 Operation Recovery dot org and the others.
01:28:07.920 Let's get them home.
01:28:08.580 Yes.
01:28:09.160 Operation Recovery dot org slash donate.
01:28:12.160 Go there now.
01:28:14.440 This is an incredible, incredible mission.
01:28:17.960 Let me ask you, is it I suppose because you're doing something about it, it's not as hard.
01:28:25.580 But I worry that anyone's going to work with any American anymore around the world because we just left so many high and dry.
01:28:34.240 Are you getting have you felt any pushback from these people that that we're asking, hey, can you give us some intelligence on this?
01:28:42.480 Can you help us?
01:28:43.200 We have it because we use this concept called the shepherd concept.
01:28:48.220 So the volunteers, the Green Berets, the SEALs, the Rangers that are doing this, we have preexisting relationships that go 20 years deep.
01:28:57.280 And what we're trying to communicate to the government is that, you know, when you say Afghanistan was for nothing, you don't understand.
01:29:04.400 You have 20 years of relationships, of tangible linkages with some of the most amazing humans on the planet.
01:29:10.920 We didn't have that pre-9-11, and that's why we got hit.
01:29:14.360 And right now we do have that.
01:29:16.080 But if we're not careful, the rest of the world is watching us.
01:29:19.640 And when we when Green Berets go into other countries to work by, with and through indigenous people, they're going to say, you know what?
01:29:26.540 I'll take your money, but I'm not working with you.
01:29:28.520 I'm not sticking my neck out because you don't get a mulligan when it comes to working with other humans.
01:29:33.220 Like, you've got to honor the promise.
01:29:35.360 And that's what I worry about.
01:29:36.680 And I'm very open about that.
01:29:37.960 I say that to the Trump administration.
01:29:39.760 I say that to the, you know, to the to the Biden administration.
01:29:42.900 If you want Green Berets and operators like us to do our job, you have to honor promises you make on the back end and the front end.
01:29:50.360 Can you tell me what you feel about or how do we repair our relationships, for instance, with England?
01:30:01.100 You know, I know that things between commanders of the 82nd and the SAS, I know it got ugly at the airport.
01:30:11.840 And I and I also know what people in England in power have told me.
01:30:17.980 They don't want to work with us anymore because we abandoned them.
01:30:21.340 How how difficult is it going to be to repair this?
01:30:25.380 Well, it's going to take deliberate restoration, you know, whether it's a marriage, whether it's, you know, a friendship or whether it's, you know, an ally.
01:30:35.420 If you damage a relationship, it's up to you to atone and restore that relationship.
01:30:41.720 I teach that, you know, as part of the, you know, when I teach at the Green Berets to Green Berets is, you know, restoration of relationships is one of the hardest things you ever do.
01:30:49.720 Restoring trust. That's going to have to happen.
01:30:51.980 But I will tell you this that I'm encouraged by is that when we I did an interview with the BBC about Operation Pineapple when it was underway.
01:30:59.700 And I can't tell you how many Afghans were pulled out of the sewage canals because they were holding pineapples on their cell phones to those British troops, man.
01:31:08.760 And, you know, they're warriors just like us.
01:31:11.420 They they know what authorities we had and we didn't have.
01:31:14.320 It was a very tense situation.
01:31:16.400 We stood at each other's shoulders for centuries.
01:31:18.580 And I have a feeling that we'll do that.
01:31:20.500 I just wish our political leaders would stop targeting each other and look at your combat veterans.
01:31:25.800 Look at how they're conducting themselves. Right.
01:31:28.160 Look at how they're showing up and demonstrating what leadership looks like.
01:31:32.100 Let's give them some leadership that's worthy of their sacrifice and just follow their lead.
01:31:36.520 And that's all politicians have to do right now.
01:31:39.060 I have to tell you, and I think this is it.
01:31:42.960 I think this is important for Americans to understand.
01:31:46.640 We have we have to have a military that is led by civilians.
01:31:50.420 That's really, really important.
01:31:52.660 But that is something very difficult, especially when the civilian people at the top are making all the wrong decisions.
01:32:01.060 But I want you I want you to put yourself into the shoes of somebody that was at that gate as a Marine.
01:32:09.140 They knew what the right thing was to do, but they followed the orders.
01:32:14.440 And these were legal orders.
01:32:17.300 I mean, it's one thing you don't have to follow them when they're not legal.
01:32:20.340 But these were legal orders that these guys, to the core of their being, I know, vehemently disagreed with.
01:32:29.820 And yet they didn't break ranks.
01:32:32.960 They didn't, you know, go around and do something unconstitutional.
01:32:38.860 That must have been extraordinarily difficult for a lot of them.
01:32:42.520 And we should be very, very proud of our military that they didn't do that.
01:32:48.620 And what we should also understand, and this is where politicians have to get, you know, we have had a nation at war, Glenn, for 20 years.
01:32:56.540 And it's been less than one percent of the population that keeps going back and fighting.
01:33:00.360 And what you just described, when you put young men and women in that position, that's a moral injury.
01:33:07.160 It's a moral injury.
01:33:08.840 And moral injuries cut you down into the stomach.
01:33:12.480 They cut you down into the pelvic floor.
01:33:15.120 And they never leave you.
01:33:16.660 I know because I carry plenty.
01:33:18.260 And so what I would ask our politicians and our bureaucrats to do, you know, is if you're going to manage the perimeter security of a half-mile-wide airfield and then send, like, a three-star general in the process, let them do their job.
01:33:34.120 Let them give them the authority to do a non-tombatant evacuation operation.
01:33:38.880 It's called a NEO.
01:33:39.960 We've done them for years.
01:33:41.280 We know how to do it.
01:33:42.520 And if you start applying politics to the world of soldiering and the world of fighting, you put your young Marines and your young paratroopers into these moral injuries, and they never get over it.
01:33:54.780 And we're losing 22 a day, not solely to that, but it's a big part of it.
01:34:00.140 And politicians and bureaucrats bear that responsibility.
01:34:03.600 And to our citizenry, you know, if we're not going to put a commanders-in-chief in place that really get that, we need to think about that when we pull the levers.
01:34:11.060 And this isn't partisan.
01:34:12.520 You know, we have an inherent responsibility to take care of our force, and that includes not putting them in positions of moral injury.
01:34:20.620 That's our job.
01:34:21.580 Let me – I don't want you to get into politics, and I don't want you to – I don't want to cause you any problems, so feel free not to answer this.
01:34:28.800 But I think there must be people held accountable for this.
01:34:35.940 This was – and it wasn't necessarily a military thing.
01:34:40.240 I think it really falls to the State Department and the White House.
01:34:43.580 But there also were some top people at the very, very top that made mistakes in the Pentagon.
01:34:50.800 Should people be held responsible for this?
01:34:53.380 And if so, who?
01:34:54.740 Yeah, I'm always in favor of accountability.
01:34:58.300 You know, one of the things that I wrote in my book Game Changers years ago about the Afghan war was that, you know, for the first 10 years of my life, or in Afghanistan, you know, I was in a trance of just retribution because my ranger buddy Cliff was killed in the Pentagon.
01:35:12.000 And I kind of abandoned the way that I should have been doing things as a Green Beret.
01:35:16.340 I was focused on just walking the enemy down instead of working with locals.
01:35:20.860 I own that.
01:35:21.800 I still own that.
01:35:22.840 I just – I wish that our politicians, our generals, our flag officers would – you know, like that lieutenant colonel that resigned in protest.
01:35:33.540 Like, where's that?
01:35:34.660 I would just like to see more of that on the military side.
01:35:38.180 Like, throw your rank on the table and say, no, like, if you do that, you can have my rank.
01:35:43.300 I mean, I haven't seen that lately at a senior level, and I'd love to see it.
01:35:46.540 I'd love to see, you know, that happen.
01:35:48.840 But then, yeah, I do think there should be accountability on this.
01:35:51.360 But, you know, for me right now and the combat veterans that are in it, we're focused on playing our position in support of the government as a citizen liaison network, whatever that looks like.
01:36:01.660 But what we're not going to do is break the promise.
01:36:03.700 That's not going to happen, and we've all committed to that, and we're volunteers, and we're, you know, we're doing this because it's right.
01:36:11.260 And so I hope there is accountability.
01:36:13.300 We all do.
01:36:14.040 But in the meantime, there's a lot of work to be done.
01:36:16.200 Scott, I so appreciate you, and I'm going to put you on hold, and one of my producers will give you my private email and text, because I mean what I say.
01:36:31.320 Anything you need, day or night, you contact, and we will be there for you.

01:38:31.180 10 seconds.
01:38:31.740 Station ID.
01:38:43.600 Nicky Haley joins us in just a few minutes.
01:38:47.340 I love that guy.
01:38:48.480 Love him.
01:38:49.500 It's incredible how many people are trying to do this.
01:38:53.600 Military members, you know, regular people, everybody calling everyone they can, organizations.
01:39:01.000 I'm going to start highlighting all the money.
01:39:03.080 I'm going to start highlighting those organizations because I honestly feel horrible that we're getting so much credit and they're getting none or very little.
01:39:14.000 I'm getting so much credit.
01:39:15.180 I missed that.
01:39:15.840 I missed all those reports.
01:39:17.000 Well, weird.
01:39:17.640 At least online people are contacting and say, hey, Glenn, thank you for what we're doing.
01:39:21.100 And I want you to know it's not us.
01:39:23.740 First of all, it was you that donated all of that money.
01:39:26.640 Uh, and we are just, we're just trying to help these other organizations as well and just get people out of there.
01:39:34.680 Everybody's working together and I'm going to start highlighting some of the others because the, you know, we have, we have a microphone and I don't want to use it to self-inggrandize us.
01:39:44.900 I want to make sure that all of the people who are also doing work, they get access to this platform because people need to know who they are.
01:39:52.920 I mean, did you know about operation recovery.org?
01:39:56.640 Nope.
01:39:57.260 Neither did I.
01:39:57.980 No.
01:39:58.380 We should know.
01:39:59.180 We should.
01:39:59.500 That is absolutely a group I would donate to, will donate to, and you should donate to.
01:40:05.740 And you see from so many of the military members in particular, this passion to want to get particularly Afghan citizens who helped them specifically over long periods, in some cases, multiple years to get them out.
01:40:22.680 The only person who I have not seen that passion from is Joe Biden, who actually landed in a snowstorm and needed an interpreter to help him get out.
01:40:31.560 And now that person is left in Afghanistan after we leave and is begging the president, please don't leave me behind.
01:40:39.160 That's incredible.
01:40:40.400 Incredible.
01:40:40.940 A person who literally helped the president of the United States specifically while he was stranded in Afghanistan.
01:40:47.860 That person is still in Afghanistan trying to get out, trying to message the president directly to help him get out.
01:40:57.780 See, this is what happens when you believe that the ends justify the means.
01:41:02.320 You lose all honor.
01:41:06.260 It's why when people say, we got to fight fire with fire.
01:41:09.060 No, we don't.
01:41:09.860 No, we don't.
01:41:10.800 I don't want to become like them.
01:41:12.980 The ends don't justify the means.
01:41:16.380 We will have no protection.
01:41:18.020 Look, if you think you're alone, I just want you to think of this.
01:41:22.280 Go back and read anything about revolutions or civil wars.
01:41:25.400 They always, always need the support of foreign countries, foreign nationals, foreign monies.
01:41:33.740 You can't fight it without.
01:41:37.060 Can you name a single country or a single giant corporation that would stand behind a civil war in the United States that was fighting the United States?
01:41:49.800 No one.
01:41:50.400 No one.
01:41:50.960 You've already been made to look like the bad guys.
01:41:53.420 You, you, there, we need God on our side and violence won't do it.
01:42:00.900 And I know I'm preaching to the choir here on this, but violence won't do it.
01:42:05.220 We have to act exactly like Scott Mann has been acting.
01:42:10.140 Just act honorably and do what you know to be right.
01:42:23.420 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:42:26.960 Hey, what are you doing to protect your kids from falling victim to cyber criminals?
01:42:30.340 I know Glenn, shut up.
01:42:32.120 I can't even think.
01:42:33.060 I'm so worried about stuff.
01:42:34.200 Don't worry about it.
01:42:35.040 Don't worry about it.
01:42:36.020 Our kids are online all the time.
01:42:38.620 I don't know what they're doing all the time on the Internet.
01:42:41.640 Now that they've, you know, got iPads for school.
01:42:45.760 Fantastic.
01:42:46.560 Thank you for that.
01:42:48.640 You can have your kids identity stolen years before they've even, you know, started to have to have an identity.
01:42:57.320 It's really important to protect our identity and the identity of our kids.
01:43:02.020 No one can protect all of it.

01:43:32.600 Nikki Haley joins us.
01:43:34.360 After the break.
01:43:39.060 Tonight starting at 8 p.m. Eastern on YouTube, Blaze TV.
01:43:43.080 It is Studios America followed by a brand new Glenn TV.
01:43:46.020 Don't miss it.
01:43:46.640 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.
01:43:54.240 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:43:56.780 We are thrilled to have the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,
01:44:02.240 former South Carolina governor and good friend Nikki Haley joining us now.
01:44:08.800 She's just written a Washington Post opinion piece.
01:44:11.860 America must not recognize the Taliban.
01:44:15.460 Welcome.
01:44:17.200 Thanks so much, Glenn.
01:44:18.380 It's great to be with you again.
01:44:19.540 Yeah, it's great to talk to you.
01:44:20.600 So, so help me out here.
01:44:22.960 The Taliban, according to the president of the White House, you know, we've got a lot of leverage on them.
01:44:29.740 I don't know what it is.
01:44:31.040 And and they've promised to be good.
01:44:33.280 Why shouldn't we recognize the Taliban?
01:44:35.140 Because they are a jihadist terrorist group.
01:44:39.260 I mean, it is the Taliban is no different than ISIS or Al Qaeda.
01:44:43.540 They're all bad.
01:44:44.540 They all have a warped view of human rights, if any at all.
01:44:49.140 They are all sharing a moral victory.
01:44:51.820 And we'll start to see heavy recruitment.
01:44:54.140 We'll start to see lone wolf scenarios.
01:44:56.240 And the part that I really don't get is Biden and company need to remember it was the Taliban that harbored those that that did the harm to us on 9-11.
01:45:09.100 That's who this is.
01:45:10.360 And it is the Taliban who has, you know, helped harbor Osama bin Laden.
01:45:16.000 They've helped harbor Al Qaeda.
01:45:17.700 Like all of this is not a group that needs to be trusted.
01:45:21.020 It's why that group never needed to be trusted to secure the airport.
01:45:24.200 And the reason we lost 13 of our finest.
01:45:27.140 I mean, they've got to stop giving credibility to the Taliban.
01:45:30.200 And what we're trying to do is tell everyone to go to StandForAmerica.com and sign the petition that we're sending to all of Congress not to recognize the Taliban.
01:45:40.560 Because if you recognize the Taliban as the head of Afghanistan, you're basically saying send them money.
01:45:47.020 We know what they'll do with the money.
01:45:48.860 We've seen what they've done with money before.
01:45:51.260 It's going to go to killing people.
01:45:54.000 It's going to go to harboring weapons.
01:45:55.700 It's going to be harboring terrorists.
01:45:57.020 And it's going to go towards continuing to allow for threats on the U.S. soil.
01:46:01.620 So it would be a horrible mistake.
01:46:03.160 And why Blinken and those are continuing to talk to the Taliban just is beyond me.
01:46:08.600 I don't know if you know or have a better guess on how many Americans are still left there and how many people are trapped that are trying to get out.
01:46:18.560 I can tell you that number is in the thousands.
01:46:22.560 If you look at all of them, maybe even in the tens of thousands.
01:46:26.060 But our State Department is blocking our every move, our every move.
01:46:34.540 You know, I think you can see a lot in the fact that I was listening to Blinken's speech the other day.
01:46:41.240 And, you know, we have 200, maybe even 100.
01:46:44.560 OK, first of all, one is too many.
01:46:46.760 Because when you're talking about rescuing Americans, you're basically saying we have a hostage situation.
01:46:52.120 The second thing is all of these Americans couldn't even get to Kabul.
01:46:56.460 They're much further out in Afghanistan in those areas.
01:47:00.380 They can't get there.
01:47:01.720 And when they do go to a checkpoint, their passports and their green cards are being taken away.
01:47:06.620 So they're not being realistic and honest with the American public.
01:47:10.100 They know that there's more than just the 200 they say that they have.
01:47:13.860 And I think that, you know, if you listen now on the news, the conversation between Biden and President Ghani got out.
01:47:22.440 And basically what Biden's saying to Ghani is this doesn't look good.
01:47:26.600 You need to fix the perception problem.
01:47:29.140 Well, you know, instead of trying to hide how bad it really was that the Taliban was taking over,
01:47:35.220 why didn't Biden say, OK, we've got to change course.
01:47:38.640 We've got to do something different.
01:47:40.220 This isn't going well.
01:47:41.420 Like that was all the warning signs to say we need to do something different,
01:47:45.640 not telling Ghani, smile and act like it's going better than it is.
01:47:49.580 And I think that's what Blinken's doing and trying to, you know, say that there's less Americans there than they are.
01:47:55.200 This is a terrible situation.
01:47:56.940 I mean, that we've been put in and a terrible situation for our military who knows in their blood that they're never supposed to leave an American behind.
01:48:04.780 Yeah. And Americans all know that.
01:48:06.560 Thank God so many Americans are stepping to the plate and and just being honorable.
01:48:10.700 I mean, it's remarkable what's happening outside of Washington.
01:48:15.600 Let me ask you, I just I just had a Green Beret commander on with me and I said, you know,
01:48:20.180 what what is it going to be like to be a Green Beret in a foreign country when you're trying to get people to help you?
01:48:27.980 And how are our foreign relations going to be with the military?
01:48:32.480 I'd like to ask you kind of the same question.
01:48:36.060 What what authority do we have anywhere in the world or in the U.N.
01:48:43.660 Well, first of all, I think that, you know, at the end of Biden's speech was pretty much the beginning of his lame duck presidency,
01:48:52.980 because he has lost all the trust and confidence of our military men and women and their families.
01:48:58.680 He's lost the trust and confidence of our allies from Taiwan to Ukraine to Israel to India.
01:49:05.580 You name it. He's lost the trust and confidence of the American people.
01:49:09.680 And the way countries are looking at him is, you know, never was there a time that I thought NATO would be having conversations without the U.S.
01:49:16.980 And that is happening now. You've got the Europeans where, you know, the British and the French went out of their way to get their citizens out.
01:49:24.580 And the American government basically told them, don't come to the airport.
01:49:28.360 I mean, everyone is looking at America now, realizing they're weaker.
01:49:33.940 Russia and China are emboldened. China is now trying to make moves on Bagram Air Force Base.
01:49:39.260 They have recognized the Taliban. They're trying to get the minerals.
01:49:42.320 Russia now realizes Ukraine is more susceptible.
01:49:47.020 Biden already gave Nord Stream 2 pipeline to allow them to do that.
01:49:51.080 And you're going to start to see more hackings because Russia knows they're not going to do anything about it.
01:49:55.920 Iran is going to continue to start more nuclear production because they're no longer worried about the threat of Iran.
01:50:02.380 And you're seeing Kim in North Korea starting his production back because Biden in this one scenario showed that he's a very weak president
01:50:11.300 and that the U.S. is not going to do anything about it.
01:50:14.020 And so it's put us in a terrible situation.
01:50:17.420 If I were in Taiwan today, I would be freaking out because I would think that, you know,
01:50:26.060 China is going to move on Taiwan probably in the next two years.
01:50:30.580 Got to have Biden in office.
01:50:31.900 We know Taiwan's already freaking out and Biden's going to meet with Zelensky, the head of Ukraine today.
01:50:38.580 And I can assure you, Zelensky is going to tell him we don't feel comfortable.
01:50:43.620 You know, right now they're trying to become a member of NATO.
01:50:46.400 The U.S. was going to help them do that.
01:50:48.480 Well, they don't believe the U.S. can help them do that.
01:50:51.020 Now, secondly, you went and you agreed to Nord Stream 2, which automatically gave Russia the upper hand.
01:50:56.560 And now, oh, by the way, you couldn't protect Afghanistan where you had been 20 years.
01:51:01.240 What makes you think that you're going to be able to protect us?
01:51:03.980 It's a very unsettling time for our friends around the world.
01:51:07.500 Nikki Haley, always good to talk to you.
01:51:09.340 It's never good to talk to you because we always find out the truth.
01:51:12.900 And it's not been good for a while.
01:51:15.520 But, you know, I do want to say this to you, Glenn.
01:51:18.160 Thank you for helping to get the Christians out of Afghanistan.
01:51:20.900 That was God's work.
01:51:22.260 And I'm telling you, if ever there was a threat, it was on them.
01:51:25.700 And I know you had a big hand in that.
01:51:27.800 And I just thank you.
01:51:28.620 And God bless you for it.
01:51:29.660 Thank you very much, Nikki.
01:51:30.440 I appreciate it.
01:51:31.000 We'll talk again.
01:51:31.620 Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
01:51:34.580 I'm going to take a quick break.
01:51:35.800 Come back.
01:51:36.420 And Mike Lee is joining us.
01:51:37.840 Senator Mike Lee in just a couple of minutes after the break.
01:51:42.360 Let me paint a little picture in your mind here.
01:51:44.480 First, I want you to imagine thick, marble, juicy steak seasoned and seared on both sides.
01:51:49.300 So tender that it falls apart on your fork.
01:51:52.180 Bacon-wrapped scallops sizzling on the plate.
01:51:54.680 Lemon-zested shrimp grilled to a crisp perfection.
01:51:58.640 The ultimate in surf and turf joy.
01:52:01.320 Oh, yeah.
01:52:02.600 Notice I didn't mention a single vegetable in that.
01:52:05.500 And it still sounds great.
01:52:08.580 That's what you can have at any time with a smart grill technology and not burn it.
01:52:13.760 Because that's what I always used to do.
01:52:15.160 Just everything was in flames all the time.
01:52:17.180 I think this was a steak.
01:52:19.360 It might have been shrimp.
01:52:20.180 I'm not sure.
01:52:21.560 The heat, the delicious wood smoke.
01:52:24.360 Rectech stands ahead of everybody else.
01:52:28.600 You know, I was just in Lowe's yesterday.
01:52:30.960 And I was looking at the, what is it?
01:52:33.300 The Weber grills.
01:52:35.120 And I thought, there's nothing.
01:52:37.140 There's nothing compared to a Rectech.
01:52:39.780 Really.
01:52:40.440 Check them out for yourself.
01:52:42.040 Rectech.
01:52:42.440 R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com.
01:52:45.120 Rectech dot com.
01:52:48.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:52:53.740 I was just asked to share this with you so you can share this if you know of anyone that is stuck in Afghanistan
01:53:02.860 and trying to move by land to a border or are sheltering in place.
01:53:08.320 Please, please get this information to them.

01:53:50.000 If you know somebody that is still in Afghanistan trying to get out,
01:53:55.140 please pass that information on to them.
01:53:59.480 All right.
01:53:59.880 We have Senator Mike Lee joining us now.
01:54:02.740 Senator, I want to start with this.
01:54:04.880 I got this from the Pentagon today.
01:54:07.400 To correct erroneous reports,
01:54:09.400 the U.S. military did not leave any dogs at Hamid Karzai International Airport.
01:54:16.760 We invest...
01:54:17.800 This is a quote from the Pentagon.
01:54:19.740 We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into these dogs.
01:54:24.340 We wouldn't leave them behind.
01:54:26.480 End quote.
01:54:26.900 Oh, oh, well, I'm sure glad that they didn't do that for the sake of the dogs
01:54:32.640 and for the sake of the U.S. military.
01:54:34.000 That's great that they didn't leave them there.
01:54:35.900 I wish they could say the same thing about leaving machine guns,
01:54:40.160 about leaving hundreds of thousands of assault rifles,
01:54:43.800 about leaving scores, in some cases, hundreds of, you know, tanks, armored vehicles.
01:54:50.460 33 Blackhawks.
01:54:53.820 How about 16,000 night vision goggles that even as an American I can't buy?
01:55:02.160 That's crazy.
01:55:03.080 Yeah, you can't buy those.
01:55:06.760 You can't buy machine guns.
01:55:08.440 And Joe Biden would love to make it harder, if not impossible, for you to buy assault rifles.
01:55:13.400 And yet we've left hundreds of thousands of these things on the ground.
01:55:17.840 Now, look, I've followed this story over many years.
01:55:21.680 I've been in the United States Senate for ten and a half years and have watched anxiously as there have been discussions
01:55:28.300 under three different presidents about how to get out of Afghanistan.
01:55:32.440 Every one of those plans always involved not leaving weapons behind.
01:55:37.740 They always involved getting them out and those we couldn't get out destroying.
01:55:43.880 So what happened?
01:55:45.480 Why on earth, on what planet, was this a good idea to leave them this way?
01:55:49.440 It makes no sense.
01:55:50.660 It defies reason.
01:55:52.620 Well, they had great confidence, which we know now is not true.
01:55:55.640 They had great confidence in the Afghan military.
01:56:00.020 So they were leaving them for them.
01:56:03.000 Great confidence in the Afghan military.
01:56:07.260 Why exactly did they have that great confidence?
01:56:11.720 And obviously they didn't have that great of confidence in the Afghan military.
01:56:15.660 And especially at the moment when they were deciding to withdraw and when they continued to decide to withdraw.
01:56:21.620 And when they apparently declined to maintain operational control of Kabul, even when they apparently had the chance.
01:56:29.580 I just just got off the phone with Nikki Haley, who just shared with me the news that today the Chinese are eyeing Bagrag Air Force Base.
01:56:44.060 They'd like it.
01:56:45.820 Why didn't we blow up the tarmac?
01:56:48.260 Why don't we blow up the tarmac now?
01:56:50.940 Why?
01:56:51.520 Why would we leave that that military base intact?
01:56:56.360 Why?
01:56:56.760 Well, perhaps because we had such confidence in the Afghan military and then perhaps that then translated into such great confidence in the Taliban, which is apparently new, improved, reformed and a lot like Boy Scouts of America.
01:57:16.480 This really does defy reason and logic.
01:57:19.680 The more questions that get asked, the more questions I have because they're not answering them.
01:57:23.780 Right.
01:57:23.940 Exactly right.
01:57:24.620 And they're lying about it.
01:57:25.740 So my question to you is, is this Joe Biden and the White House just lying like crazy?
01:57:35.640 Or is Joe Biden so incompetent and so senile that he really doesn't know?
01:57:43.740 Which one is it?
01:57:45.920 Yeah, I tend to think that it's the latter.
01:57:49.940 So then, Mike, we heard all the time from people, you know, we've got to evoke the 25th Amendment.
01:57:58.480 If that is even a possibility, why aren't leaders, real leaders that care about the country saying, look, I have nothing against the president, but this just shows such erratic behavior.
01:58:11.960 We have to we have to we have to we have to we have to we have to at least talk about this.
01:58:17.440 Well, a number are and as I've been asked about it, what I've said is I've got to get answers to a number of questions in order to figure out what this is.
01:58:26.080 If if if in fact it turns out to be the case that this president is not in possession of his faculties, then obviously that would be the next step.
01:58:37.640 If it's something else, then there might be a different remedy that we would look at.
01:58:43.380 Is this is is those is this impeachable?
01:58:46.400 Because I think it is leaving just leaving all that stuff is impeachable.
01:58:51.860 Yeah. So so if it's if it's incompetence, then we're, you know, looking at the 25th Amendment.
01:58:58.180 Right.
01:58:58.380 If it's if if if you're looking at a deliberate decision to give aid and comfort to our enemies, a deliberate decision to do something that would make us less safe, intending it to be so, then then, yeah, of course, that could be impeachable.
01:59:18.180 So the tougher question is whether under either scenario, you could muster the critical base of support, you would have to have it is.
01:59:28.800 Remember, under the 25th Amendment, you've got out the vice president acting in concert with the majority of the cabinet.
01:59:35.400 But that's a pretty tough sell.
01:59:39.560 Didn't didn't Nancy Pelosi weaken that recently?
01:59:44.640 Yes.
01:59:45.120 And but either way, it's going to be tough because if they're going to impeach, then they would have to have Democrats in the House and in the Senate to make that happen.
01:59:59.800 I'm not seeing any signs of of the Democratic Party showing that level of vulnerability.
02:00:06.680 Are they are they? Is there any are there Democrats that are looking at this going?
02:00:11.120 This is craziness.
02:00:12.180 Undoubtedly, yes.
02:00:15.600 And and we're going to find out who they are in the coming weeks.
02:00:19.140 OK, Mike Lee, senator from the great state of Utah.
02:00:24.700 Thank you so much for all of your hard work and being so loyal to the Constitution.
02:00:30.240 After 10 years in the Senate, I don't know of many senators that have made it as long as you have and still are the same guy that you were the day you walked in.
02:00:41.840 God bless you, Mike.
02:00:42.800 Thank you so much.
02:00:47.080 This is the Glenn Beck program.
02:00:49.340 This is the Glenn Beck program.
02:00:54.040 You

02:01:15.020 It's about time.
02:01:16.040 I'm not sure what I mum looks at all of them.
