00:04:13.120 we are so grateful i had to sign yesterday for a bridge loan

00:04:18.580 uh until we can get some of that money um because we are we are renting airplanes

00:04:25.980 and you don't you don't know how much fun it is to put your name down for a bridge loan on a 737

00:04:33.960 or 20

00:04:35.880 uh but anyway uh we we are uh grateful uh and i have to point out bill o'reilly was on with us on sat on

00:04:47.240 uh friday he never said anything about it except congratulations and uh saturday i found out that

00:04:54.620 a donation had come through from a mr uh b o'reilly uh and it was a significant donation and i can't

00:05:04.680 thank him enough you should know that that uh he is part of uh of you and doing the right thing

00:05:11.840 now let me give you a story now i am not saying that this is a feeling that we at the nazarene fund

00:05:19.680 uh have noticed at all um but let me give you a story uh on what's what what what might be happening

00:05:30.020 according to one group of people that are trying to get planes out uh this is an exclusive from the

00:05:36.960 daily caller uh the biden administration has been uh an impediment to the private effort to get

00:05:44.140 people out of afghanistan says robert strike who's arranging privately chartered flights to get

00:05:50.160 americans and vulnerable afghans out of the country the brits and the south africans have been awesome

00:05:56.520 and heroic in getting people through the gate strike who's military uh or sorry washington-based

00:06:02.860 lobbying firm in 2017 paid by the government of afghanistan for u.s government affairs and commercial

00:06:08.500 sector advice executive and legislative branch engagement blah blah blah blah blah said there are

00:06:14.040 dozens and dozens of times he has reached out to the administration and to the department of state

00:06:20.600 and has yet to hear back now some would say others are engaging the senators uh and uh the pressure

00:06:32.480 is starting to build on the state department and that's why if you go to my instagram page while

00:06:38.120 you slept last night two planes uh from the nazarene fund landed and flew out 700 uh passengers women

00:06:49.140 and children and families being boarded on that plane you'll see them being boarded on that plane on my

00:06:55.980 instagram um page do we have those by any chance we don't have them yet um i got them uh very very late

00:07:04.900 last night and was just given permission to show them they are on the ground now but it has been uh a

00:07:13.380 really really difficult thing to get the state department to respond the state department has to give

00:07:21.960 the other countries where the planes are landing permission they have to say this is an american

00:07:29.240 carrier and they are not human smuggling uh and uh and they're good to land and all of the countries

00:07:38.280 are waiting for that permission and then they have they give you a window so you have this window to

00:07:45.540 take off and land well okay it's a really big deal for those of us on the ground who are taking all of

00:07:55.640 the names figuring out who is on they have to be translated in multiple different languages you know

00:08:02.520 it can't be the whole um uh manifest can't just be in english it has to be in several different

00:08:11.000 languages it then has to be approved by the state department all of the names on board uh then it

00:08:18.300 has to be tied to the carrier the the tail number and then it has to be tied to the same pilots and to

00:08:26.000 the same stewards and stewardesses anybody else working on the plane then it has to be tied to a

00:08:33.920 country where it can be where it can land and we have to say where those people are going after that

00:08:40.500 so we have to get all of that information to the state department and then have them approve it

00:08:47.620 and once they approve it we only have like a five hour window something like that to be able to get

00:08:54.300 the plane onto the tarmac and then take off and get back otherwise it expires well we uh up until

00:09:02.840 yesterday we've had uh we've had one of those uh what one one of those uh notices from the state

00:09:11.800 department and what's weird is they gave it to us an hour after it had expired oh that's helpful yeah

00:09:19.480 so it was very helpful very very helpful um they we are on the phone with the state department

00:09:25.800 and we are not getting any response at least until we called a few senators and i want to thank you

00:09:36.060 for calling your senators yesterday we could use more we've had several uh congressmen and senators

00:09:42.780 step to the plate please call your senators and congressmen and tell them to ask the state

00:09:48.660 department what the hell they're doing um i have a lot more to say on this but i i won't at this time

00:09:57.560 let me just uh read what the daily caller said uh after reaching out to the white house uh strike said

00:10:06.420 he received a response acknowledging the request but got no follow-up from the white house what i'm

00:10:12.660 witnessing every day is the very best and the very worst of america he explained i've seen the

00:10:18.340 humanity of private citizens who are contracting me and pledging their time monies and in some cases

00:10:24.000 their lives to bring our citizens and these african uh sorry afghan patriots out of harm's way 1.00

00:10:30.060 while at the same time personally experiencing the biden administration's abject failure to protect

00:10:37.200 its citizens and those afghans that fought and worked alongside of us it is morally reprehensible 1.00

00:10:43.660 it has been the u.s private sector who has stepped up to save blood and treasure the biden administration

00:10:50.220 is leaving behind here's the thing if we don't get safe passage if we don't get the state department

00:10:58.940 and the administration to give us safe passage then we can't do anything you know because we're worried

00:11:07.720 about human trafficking so we gotta make sure that we get everybody on there who's moves on there and

00:11:13.840 quite honestly i have no problem giving the names and the background checks to the state department

00:11:19.760 we're prepared to do that we do it uh but you know if if we wanted to get somebody let's say across

00:11:27.660 the border which we would never do but if we had let's say a friendly country there on one of the

00:11:36.960 borders of afghanistan we can't even bring them across think of this we can't bring people across the

00:11:46.600 border to a country that says they will take them because the state department won't give us permission

00:11:55.100 to bring people across a border in afghanistan

00:12:00.600 oh the irony

00:12:05.680 oh the irony

00:12:08.660 we should point out too for those and there's been some people who have brought this concern up i think

00:12:16.080 it's an appropriate concern to make sure that we're not bringing people who are unvetted to the united 1.00

00:12:20.800 states yeah and of course the answer to that is they are vetted and they're not coming to the united

00:12:25.260 states so yeah uh those are those are legitimate concerns by people who have talked about this

00:12:30.080 however there are concerns that were immediately addressed before this was even honestly even

00:12:34.880 announced look at the pictures of the people that are getting onto our plane you will see families

00:12:39.720 you will see moms dads and children uh getting onto the plane right look at the people go just search

00:12:48.200 for some of the pictures of of some of the people that were sitting there ready to get onto a

00:12:53.400 c131 transport different pictures yeah yeah mainly men with no children and no wives

00:12:59.900 uh and again that may those may be the people who made up the assistance yeah to our military

00:13:06.600 there would be some sense to that but still it could be i i have much more confidence

00:13:10.860 in a private sector after operation doing the vetting than i do the u.s government under joe by

00:13:17.040 count the number of people that they've put on board we can we can tell you exactly how many people

00:13:21.880 have arrived at a host country and how many departed i can tell you exact number the pentagon

00:13:28.400 can't how can you say you're vetting these people when you can't even count them that doesn't make

00:13:37.740 any sense by the way uh you know there's um saki had a um uh an interesting statement yesterday she

00:13:46.760 made to fox news about americans not being stranded i want you to hear this

00:13:50.540 most of the criticism is not of leaving afghanistan it's the way that he has ordered it to happen

00:14:00.300 by pulling the troops before getting these americans who are now stranded does he have a sense of that

00:14:06.240 first of all i think it's irresponsible to say americans are stranded they are not we are committed

00:14:10.420 to bringing americans who want to come home home we are in touch with them via phone via text via email

00:14:16.240 via any way that we can possibly reach americans to get them home if they want to return home there

00:14:21.700 are no americans stranded is the white house's official position on what's happening in afghanistan

00:14:27.220 i'm just calling you out for saying that we are stranding americans in afghanistan when i said when

00:14:32.560 we have been very clear that we are not leaving americans who want to return home we are going to bring

00:14:37.840 them home and i think that's important for the american public to hear and understand ah okay okay

00:14:43.180 you know what's weird is um the people that are there feel stranded uh the people that are there

00:14:51.820 you know it's it's really interesting to me that um a massive airlift massive airlift because you know

00:14:59.960 these private planes we can't get these private planes down on the tarmac because

00:15:04.920 all those you know those big transport planes they're coming and going all the time and they

00:15:13.220 got helicopters um just so you know we've had three three count them it's been a week three

00:15:23.360 u.s military helicopters go out to save and rescue people and you know don't worry about it americans can

00:15:33.320 get through the gate they're letting them get through the gate then why did those three

00:15:37.820 military helicopters fly less than 200 meters to go pick up 169 americans if it's so easy to get

00:15:50.280 through the gate why did we have to send chinook helicopters 200 meters away from the gate tell me that

00:15:59.640 why these are lies that you are hearing these are lies by the way i think we have we have flown in the

00:16:08.560 last week under 20 flights under 20 we did two yesterday we did two against all odds two in the

00:16:21.740 last week the american government has flown 20 what the hell is going on

00:16:29.780 by the way with every passing day it becomes more and more difficult to get out

00:16:36.300 adam schiff said yesterday we're not going to be done by the 31st white house is saying we're going to be

00:16:43.260 done by the 31st i don't trust either of them however i will tell you this the taliban warned us

00:16:54.660 warned us it's a red line president biden told us october august 31st would be the withdrawal of all of

00:17:03.500 their forces so if they extend it it means they are extending the occupation while there is no need for

00:17:09.480 that if they are to ask for additional time to continue evacuations the answer is no or they will

00:17:16.420 there will be consequences he said extending the deadline would create mistrust between us we don't

00:17:25.280 trust you and you don't give us a red line when is our president going to grow a set and do the right

00:17:34.140 thing all right relief factor people who don't live with a lot of pain in their lives don't understand

00:17:42.520 the extent to which it can absolutely rule every aspect of your life pain that uh that puts you in

00:17:49.660 your place where you're susceptible to feelings of depression and hopelessness it destroys your life

00:17:56.760 it does it's no way to live relief factor has been helping people get their lives back for years now and

00:18:02.160 i'm one of them i don't know where i would be i don't know if i would even be on the air today

00:18:07.140 if it wasn't for a relief factor i know that i wouldn't be in a happy place i can tell you that

00:18:12.660 of course and again for entirely different reasons i'm not in a happy place so hmm uh if you're dealing

00:18:19.440 with pain in your life here's the opportunity to take a chance to see is it worth twenty dollars

00:18:24.860 to try relief factor if it works for you as it works for me you'll get your life back

00:19:00.620 10 second station id

00:19:02.060 we say welcome to uh mr steve bergeer otherwise known as stew for some unknown reason uh we're

00:19:22.220 glad that you're here stew thank you i'm i'm surprised i'm surprised that you're here i know

00:19:27.160 you had a celebration at your house you had the cuomo is dead to me tree yes change to he's leaving 0.99

00:19:35.920 everything except his dog is out of the governor's mansion that's a perfect ending to the andrew cuomo

00:19:43.080 it really is isn't it i mean it tells you everything you need to know what guy leaves his dog behind and

00:19:51.260 says hey anybody want the dog you could take him what human being does that i don't know of what

00:19:58.220 well andrew cuomo i suppose now i will point out that he is denying this and saying oh i was just

00:20:04.360 working for the people and i was helping with the storm downstate and you know that of course i'm with

00:20:13.420 my dog and i love my dog and if we've learned anything from this entire year and a half and many

00:20:19.420 years before that if you happen to live in new york you can absolutely trust andrew cuomo and his

00:20:23.860 analysis of his own actions that's something you can be comfortable in doing so wait a minute he

00:20:28.840 he took everything out he left and he left his dog but he said he only left it because he had to

00:20:38.460 he's working well i mean like if you're gonna leave he's he's doing work for the people of new york

00:20:43.600 and so he's gonna go down there and i think push back the storm to make sure it didn't hit people

00:20:49.240 and it worked and it worked and so he just didn't want to bring his doggy i guess into into harm's way

00:20:55.040 did he think that maybe the dog could go with i don't know his dresser to maybe his uh his sister's

00:21:03.580 you'd think that would be an option yeah apparently if i were gone i would say hey can someone take my

00:21:10.860 dog i do that when i go on vacation and we don't take the dog we don't just leave him at the house

00:21:16.840 oh that's all right he knows how to work the tv in the fridge in the oven no no he doesn't no he

00:21:23.400 doesn't uh it's it's a nice day i think though for the people of new york and honestly all of us

00:21:28.620 because andrew cuomo remember was being talked about as a presidential replacement for joe biden

00:21:36.820 if he would be perfect that is exactly the kind of guy that's going to replace him i mean we have

00:21:44.580 kamala you think she's going to be any better than oh no yeah and cuomo no my gosh i can't take that

00:21:53.100 that laugh did you hear her uh talk about when she was asked about afghanistan yeah i let her a little

00:22:00.440 bit of that hey um what's happening in afghanistan do you have any comments on afghanistan she laughed

00:22:08.460 like that yeah i mean that's her defense mechanism crazy it's her defense mechanism where andrew cuomo's

00:22:14.500 defense mechanism is to lie about dead people so actually i would prefer kamala's yeah uh annoying

00:22:21.280 laugh well maybe she could pick him as vice president when she becomes president yeah 1.00

00:22:25.520 are you thinking about that kamala yeah about uh how senile he is and that he's going to be gone

00:22:34.400 at any time of course not of course not oh well it's a good day it's a good day and i will say

00:22:42.280 andrew cuomo was awful dot com dot com uh andrew cuomo is out and 700 christians have been rescued

00:24:32.040 uh some of the other stuff that is uh going on today uh is is really important uh but we we are

00:24:43.420 trying to stay focused on um what's right in front of us and that is this debacle um of the biden

00:24:52.520 administration in afghanistan i wish i could get on the ground at the airport of kabul

00:25:00.380 i'd like to see the faces of our troops because i'm i'm just i'm imagining that they are not happy

00:25:11.860 at all and would just love to see them you know if somebody would just bring a camera and just

00:25:19.000 just pan see what they are feeling i imagine they want to do a lot more than they're being allowed to

00:25:27.320 do oh i you gotta believe it we have heard some reports over the past few hours uh that there

00:25:33.600 have been some excursions into the city to pick up some people again it seems like what we're doing

00:25:41.540 is begging the taliban to allow us to do these things reportedly today the cia director met with

00:25:49.760 the taliban uh to try to i guess negotiate excuse me say that again i didn't i i think what i thought

00:25:55.600 i heard you say was our cia director met with the uh taliban so what what did you really say

00:26:01.040 what like what what did i actually yeah what just now say i heard misheard here i'll just read this

00:26:06.700 for you cia director secretly visited taliban in kabul okay a couple of problems with that um one it's not

00:26:14.100 a secret if we're reading about it uh the meeting's over yeah uh again not something you should

00:26:22.140 broadcast uh but i'm glad they did because the other problem i have with that is what is the cia

00:26:28.440 director doing meeting with the taliban let's say let's say uh he was he's a former uh diplomat

00:26:38.580 met on monday with abdul ghani baradar which love that i gotta say the president's name was ghani

00:26:46.220 now we've got ghani and the taliban i'm never going to be able to keep these people separate i'm never 0.98

00:26:51.180 going to know what anyone's talking about i change your names i got news for you i don't know who

00:26:56.000 anybody is anyway uh yeah i mean this is can you just i want you to take a moment glenn

00:27:02.780 to to bring yourself back in time a little bit okay we started this show in before i mean we

00:27:10.180 started doing the talk show in like 98 or 99 but the syndication deal we signed to go national we

00:27:16.420 signed in august of 2001 so just weeks before the september 11 attacks yes and then we were supposed

00:27:24.140 to start the show in january 2002 but they moved it up because of the attack so we've been basically

00:27:29.820 on the air since september 11th the arc of the show a 20-year arc of the show yeah can you imagine

00:27:36.360 let's say november 2001 i bring a heck of time to that to that period and i say you know what's

00:27:42.900 going to wind up happening is we're going to negotiate with the taliban to basically give them 0.93

00:27:49.500 the country and then we're going to strand and yes jen saki i said strand thousands of americans

00:27:55.760 and the afghans who helped us in the 20-year war all right yeah wait wait wait i got it and then

00:28:00.920 hold on and then yeah we're gonna have the cia director go negotiate with the taliban to hopefully

00:28:09.220 move the taliban's red line to the united states if i were to give you that scenario let's say november

00:28:17.820 2001 how do you feel about that let me give you the scenario and my response let me give you the

00:28:24.040 response i would have made in november stew stew stew stew i know every empire has died

00:28:32.660 in afghanistan i know that the british the soviet union there has never been anyone that has won a war

00:28:43.220 in afghanistan but i believe in our troops and i believe our troops will win the war

00:28:50.960 okay if you would have said to me well glenn yes we're going to win the war but then we're going

00:29:01.960 to elect a president who's just going to abandon everything on the ground including our billion

00:29:10.860 dollar embassy that we built because we won the war and for 20 years 20 years any girl 0.87

00:29:20.780 under 20 knows the power that she has the inherent rights that she has but our president is just

00:29:29.820 going to hand it back over to the thugs and killers that we killed and ran out 19 years ago

00:29:38.160 then i would say that's a fantasy that's a fantasy there's no way that could happen in america

00:29:45.260 i have a terrible news wait i thought we were talking about just hypothetically yeah no this is

00:29:53.260 it really is incredible i mean i remember when the obama administration first sort of pitched

00:29:58.560 negotiating with the taliban and it's been a bad idea from president to president since day one 0.95

00:30:06.480 it's never been a good idea to negotiate with the taliban ever 1.00

00:30:10.360 no and you know sure i was i was crazy angry with donald trump when he did it i thought it was

00:30:19.300 an embarrassment when he did it um but that's nothing compared to this and anybody who thinks

00:30:29.580 that donald trump would have allowed this to happen no way no way just just let me just say this

00:30:34.960 let's just say and i don't believe this for a second let's just say he doesn't care about america

00:30:41.140 at all now obviously that's not true yeah it's not true but donald trump is not going to allow

00:30:48.100 donald trump to be humiliated embarrassed that way no way no way no way this is special this is special

00:30:55.520 skill of joe biden taliban joe to be able to to go down this road it really is because i don't i

00:31:03.360 he does not even seem to have the interest in protecting his own presidency no let alone

00:31:13.440 caring about the american troops or let alone caring about the afghans that helped us or let alone 0.82

00:31:20.060 caring about religious minorities there that are being murdered let alone forget all of that forget 1.00

00:31:24.620 all the women yeah and girls that you say i mean guys the left has absolutely no room to talk about 1.00

00:31:35.260 the treatment of women and the treatment of girls and how we have to protect they have no credibility 1.00

00:31:43.500 they have exposed themselves as not caring at all at all the people who should be screaming the loudest

00:31:53.020 are the woke community yeah where's the me too and this and not not to mention we've taken the

00:31:59.720 taliban from a bunch of people who uh basically were you know fighting in caves against us during the war

00:32:08.720 to one of the best and most well-armed militaries in the world well they're well-armed because we left

00:32:15.760 everything behind 75,898 vehicles 599,690 weapons 208 aircraft um reconnaissance equipment 16,191

00:32:32.460 this is from open the books.com by the way uh communications equipment 162,643 items think about

00:32:39.840 think about this uh glenn we used to go back this go back again to 2001 for a moment what is one of the

00:32:44.660 greatest advantages this doesn't work out this doesn't work out for us what's one of the reasons

00:32:50.360 why we do so well in warfare when our military because we have communications we have night vision

00:32:58.260 night vision right just take night vision for a moment tens of thousands of night vision goggles

00:33:04.900 and associated equipment that by the way you you paid for and you cannot buy uh in stores you can't buy

00:33:12.300 you can't buy it you bought it you just can't use it yeah americans can't buy it for your use and so

00:33:19.600 we gave that to the afghan military who then promptly turned it over to the taliban here as as this has

00:33:25.340 developed and now if we god forbid if it gets out of control again and we have to go back in which is

00:33:31.860 totally possible by the way totally possible if they again build a uh an area that is a free passage

00:33:39.400 for terrorists and they start blowing up our buildings we're going to be back in there again 0.54

00:33:43.040 don't don't dismiss this as if it's over because that's the whole problem with leaving don't count

00:33:48.740 on joe biden to actually find joe biden oh it might be yeah no i'm not saying joe biden it might be 10

00:33:53.560 years from now but eventually we're going to go back in there and we're going to have to deal with

00:33:57.640 a taliban that has all this equipment well they'll have all that equipment anyway because uh joe biden's

00:34:05.660 son is allowing chinese to come in and spy on our military and buy things uh you know uh through 1.00

00:34:14.100 bribery etc etc that's another huge part of this uh and china is going to give them all of that i mean

00:34:20.240 did you see that china i think saudi arabia and russia and iran have just made a deal uh and china and

00:34:31.280 iran i'm sorry china and russia have also made a deal with the taliban um i think there's an axis

00:34:38.980 of evil uh that is being formed and we strangely are trying to form our own apparent axis of evil

00:34:48.180 where's the allied power here don't copy their organizational structures uh can i also say too

00:34:54.560 glenn we have this idea of arming other countries and it doesn't always seem to work out the best

00:35:00.200 possible way may i rephrase that a little bit it never works out but can i at least this is just

00:35:07.100 an idea and you know can we float because this safety tree safety tree you can do it i'm not

00:35:11.920 gonna i'm not gonna cancel you safe space yeah can we at least put self-destruct buttons in these

00:35:17.620 things i want a self-destruct the taliban takes over we blow up all the weapons from one remote button

00:35:22.740 i want why i want a drone that when they take off with a drone and they go to bomb somebody it just

00:35:29.020 flies back to the united states and lands safely why i i want a button that makes i want it to just

00:35:35.380 you know how they have those like ink um packets that when you steal money from a bank they explode

00:35:40.460 i want basically some version of that in every weapon we give to anybody else so at some point

00:35:45.820 when we decide they've gotten to the wrong hands we just press the button and they all just go away

00:35:49.920 i don't think that you've gone far enough no i would like the night vision goggles that if you

00:35:55.240 steal it or you know we just leave it behind you push a button and knives go through your eyes

00:36:00.780 that's what i would like but maybe it's just me all right let me tell you about real estate agents

00:36:07.640 i trust.com everything is so up in the air these days so many surprises coming from literally every

00:36:14.360 direction it's nice when once in a while there's something you can count on to be the same something

00:36:20.420 that you can count on to even be better than you thought little i don't know little stability here

00:36:26.020 and there would be nice that's sort of what i was looking for when we started real estate agents i

00:36:31.760 trust a number of years ago i wanted to create a free service for you that would pair you with the

00:36:38.080 best real estate agent in your area and you wouldn't have to go through all of the hassles

00:36:42.540 i know let's not have crazy surprises when we're doing our house the biggest most stressful sale of

00:36:51.220 our lives um you now have that opportunity with real estate agents i trust the agents we work with

00:36:59.300 are the best in the business in my opinion they know the best practices they know how to build and

00:37:06.040 lead a team of people who are going to get you where you need to be it's realestateagentsitrust.com

00:37:12.140 the name says it all realestateagentsitrust.com this is the glenn beck program

00:37:20.480 uh you know there was something controversial said by a fox news host yesterday uh cut four

00:37:28.860 please i want you to hear this when you look at what's hurting america um when you look at this

00:37:34.500 lack of leadership and you and you wonder who are the people responsible for putting someone this

00:37:40.220 incompetent and frankly this you know mentally frail in this position um and that's yes of course the

00:37:47.220 media and many people are saying you had some people on your show this week who were suggesting

00:37:51.220 it was susan rice and obama and maybe valerie jared i'm sorry as a political spouse i can't help but look

00:37:58.320 at jill biden no one knew better his state of mind than jill dr jill biden and if you ask me the

00:38:06.040 most patriotic thing jill biden could have done was tell her husband to love her husband and not

00:38:11.220 let him run in these in in this mental state that he's in yeah i think she failed the country as well

00:38:16.320 yeah i've been saying that since uh i don't know 2018 the guy was in cognitive decline i think it is

00:38:26.920 i think it's actually spousal abuse uh and abuse from the family now you know i think that family

00:38:36.620 might look at abuse differently seeing you know what they've done to hunter and what hunter has done to

00:38:43.080 the family uh so maybe you know maybe they don't understand uh abuse in a family but i think it is

00:38:51.080 i think it's elderly abuse this guy he you know could have gone out as a you know respected guy

00:38:59.760 blah blah blah instead they know he's not gonna make it they knew he wouldn't make it

00:39:06.140 they just needed a shill they needed somebody that they could just run as a trojan horse to get all of 0.66

00:39:15.500 their stuff thrown they needed somebody that looked like a moderate and he was the only one that looked

00:39:20.400 like a moderate that people would trust and so they ran him and it's absolutely reprehensible

00:39:27.760 but again the ends justify the means you or joe biden as an individual don't matter

00:39:35.500 it's just the policies that matter who's gonna get it done who can get it done well joe biden but

00:39:44.520 that's cruel yeah so we can get it done now how long we've been waiting to get it done that's

00:39:52.420 unbelievable it's unbelievable and and you shouldn't be shocked at what is happening in afghanistan 1.00

00:39:59.540 uh and all over the world now because the people who are doing it the ends justify the means

00:40:08.120 they don't care about the individuals uh uh i i'm i i have a i have an exact quote from somebody in the

00:40:22.200 state department uh about the people on the tarmac uh that i'm not going to share right now um oh but i

00:40:30.100 will uh where it just shows they don't care at all at all they don't care about the individual

00:40:40.820 they care about their agenda and them not looking bad and them just you know get rid of this so it

00:40:49.780 goes away and we can get on with our life it's a reprehensible group of people it is and we are losing

00:40:57.400 our humanity to them don't just don't be a part of it don't excuse it uh don't uh sell it to anybody

00:41:06.980 else just just state the truth this is the glenn back program thank you so much i appreciate it

00:41:17.380 i'm gonna tell you about a little bit about built bar built bar something actually my wife uh discovered

00:41:22.720 at least in my world a long time ago and eventually started she was eating them all the time talked to 1.00

00:41:29.180 tanya about them glenn's wife who then passed that knowledge along to glenn well at least harassed him

00:41:35.480 to eat them please eat them because they're healthy even though you'll think they're they taste really

00:41:39.280 good glenn of course ignored that advice until he was because he started with healthy yeah you can't

00:41:44.920 start with healthy start with taste that's what built bar does yeah they don't they just say let's make

00:41:48.720 it really taste really good and then we'll make sure that people like to eat it or excuse me uh you

00:41:54.460 know should eat it because it's uh healthy they start with taste then they go to the healthy part

00:41:57.880 and that's the way you should do it and really don't care if you get to the healthy part i mean really

00:42:02.080 just don't care if you get there no you don't care they care yeah they tanya cares yeah really does

00:42:09.380 she really i mean seriously does she i think she i think she might he has no reason to no no no no no

00:43:04.920 so what is it like to be on the ground in afghanistan in taboo and be escorted by the taliban

00:43:24.820 on your way out uh we have the story direct from a woman who experienced that holly mckay she joins us

00:43:36.360 in 60 seconds

00:43:37.400 the glenn beck program so let me talk to you a minute here for direct to consumer pricing the standard

00:43:47.020 way things are sold um and this might be about to change everywhere is we sell things through

00:43:53.740 intermediaries we've you know we make a product and then you get it into a box store like walmart and

00:43:59.640 then walmart sells it to the customer and everybody shares in the profits well you can make a better

00:44:06.680 product and you can sell it at a lower price if you don't have the middle man when it comes to direct

00:44:15.160 to customer this is the way rec tech does it with their amazing grills this is why you will never find

00:44:22.120 anything that is even close to it because they've cut out the middle man and they've put all of that

00:44:28.000 money into the grill rec tech grills are sleek they're sturdy they have wi-fi controlled smart grill

00:44:34.700 technology they will ensure that you get the best tasting most even heated cooking the best smoked ribs

00:44:41.460 ever check them out rec tech dot com r-e-c-t-e-q dot com rec tech dot com

00:44:50.040 let's go to holly mckay uh she is a journalist and war crimes investigator she's also the author of the

00:44:58.040 book only cry for the living uh she has just returned um out of afghanistan and we welcome her

00:45:06.860 uh to the program hi holly how are you hi i'm doing well thank you for having me good where are

00:45:13.520 can you say where you are now you're safe sure i'm i'm in uh i'm in tashkent isbekistan and i am

00:45:20.620 probably going to be in the region for a little while um covering the situation from neighboring

00:45:25.780 countries and some of the fallout and just kind of hammering in these twilight days of the u.s

00:45:31.780 presence in afghanistan so first of all tell us what you think is going on what i mean what is

00:45:39.320 america doing i wish i could tell you glenn it's an absolute i haven't seen anything that could be

00:45:47.600 more of a mess than what we're seeing right now in uh in the situation in kabul airport just people

00:45:55.200 have been trying for days and they physically cannot get there and people are terrified and

00:46:00.820 being injured and they're just at their wit's end i'm receiving calls and emails really just every

00:46:07.120 20 minutes from somebody new just in desperation of how do they get there but but you know what i'm

00:46:13.200 seeing from other countries though i received um some notifications today from uh australian

00:46:17.840 government who are actually mobilizing uh the australian citizens and visa holders there to a

00:46:24.200 particular place um a hotel near the airport and actually physically taking them in a in a helicopter

00:46:31.600 so we're seeing that being done also by the brits and it's frustrating to see that the u.s

00:46:36.640 the mighty u.s is not able to do that and we're not allowing our great men and women who serve this

00:46:42.940 country to leave the wire to do their job that they're there to do and that most of them want to do

00:46:48.320 so we're talking to holly mckay holly the the it's not that we can't do it it's that we're not i mean

00:46:55.820 when i read that when i read that you know joe biden is saying that oh you can get through the gates

00:47:02.080 americans getting through the gates well then why did you take two helicopters and fly them 200 meters

00:47:11.080 outside of the gates to pick up 170 americans why didn't they just go through the gates

00:47:16.800 yeah exactly i just there's this sort of a collective denial that's happening from the

00:47:22.260 administration and it's extremely frustrating um because you know i'm one of the people that

00:47:28.340 have to look at these afghans and speak to these afghans every day and try to explain to them why my 1.00

00:47:34.080 government is not able to to help them even though they are citizens or they're people that that have

00:47:39.780 supported the u.s or they have the correct paperwork and visas and it's just like banging your head up

00:47:45.140 against a brick wall uh i'm just not sure why the president is digging his heels in like this and

00:47:51.500 refusing to acknowledge the brevity of the situation so um they said the white house says we're going to

00:47:59.740 be able to get all americans and everybody who holds the proper visa out by the 31st i don't think

00:48:06.620 there's a prayer of that happening unless something changes today dramatically um yeah i go ahead

00:48:15.400 am i really in my opinion what that is going to take at this point is khalil azad's office in doha

00:48:22.240 to have some very serious and stern uh discussions with the taliban leadership that they have been

00:48:28.060 talking to now for several years um the only way i see that becoming is you know if the doha leadership

00:48:34.060 is able to somehow rein in it's many many rogue elements which you know we could spend all day

00:48:39.940 talking about that too um and allowing people to get through and and what i what i sort of see

00:48:45.620 happening is possibly american citizens being allowed through but afghan americans or afghans with

00:48:52.700 um american visas they're going to be the ones that the taliban is basically not wanting to leave and 0.98

00:48:59.440 the taliban have been very open about that thing we do not want afghans leaving we need as much

00:49:04.040 quote-unquote talent here in our country and they've been very adamant about that so unless

00:49:09.240 khalil azad's office can do some serious diplomacy i don't see that happening by the end of this month

00:49:14.380 so my audience last week we raised uh we're at i think 28 million dollars now and we have 20 uh air

00:49:23.500 buses and boeings uh at an airport very close uh and we can't get the state department to clear them

00:49:32.420 uh and uh we also uh you know can't can't seem to get outside of the gates and get any permission from

00:49:42.720 anybody to help bring these people in and i sat there last week uh when all this money was coming

00:49:50.440 in and i i thought to myself and it must have been the way people were that were saving jews back in

00:49:55.860 germany these people mean nothing to you you're just going to kill them why won't you just let 1.00

00:50:02.420 them go they mean something to us let them go it's clearly not that they're trying to keep all the 0.96

00:50:09.400 talent in afghanistan these are just people they're going to kill am i wrong exactly no not wrong at all 0.95

00:50:18.700 or people that they can uh exert a you know a terrible control and a terrible life over um you know

00:50:25.380 if they want to keep them alive it would be on a power trip basis and to to really you know put them

00:50:30.420 in jail talk to them make their lives incredibly miserable um so i guess the more people that you

00:50:35.640 can control you know the more power these the taliban seems to think it has um but yeah they just

00:50:42.040 they won't let them go and i think that is it's just it's sort of terrifying and i think you know

00:50:48.320 part of the problem too is that the leadership has been in doha um and so they don't really have any

00:50:53.720 control over the many rogue elements and mind you 7 000 of the most hardened taliban fighters who have

00:51:01.040 been sitting in bagram prison for the past 10 you know upwards to 20 years have just been released

00:51:07.180 last week by the taliban when they took over the airbase i mean that you know we're seeing the

00:51:13.460 release of bagram uh i'm not we're seeing the release of taliban prisons all over the country

00:51:17.600 but the release of the bagram ones that's the bad of the bad so mind you they're in their first week

00:51:22.080 of freedom um so you know it just gives me chills to think what's what's happening there the the women 1.00

00:51:29.880 and children i mean i've i actually heard somebody say oh these people know what it's like over there

00:51:35.880 that's the way they've lived no not for the last 20 years they haven't a 20 year old girl right now

00:51:41.360 has not been raised to think that that's the way it is she thinks that you know she's a powerful woman

00:51:47.980 and can do things that guys can do everything that we know in the west to be true and now she's being

00:51:55.340 faced with a life of absolute hell where are the people that are shouting about women's rights and 0.89

00:52:02.360 and the rights of children where is the the outrage from americans that are constantly saying that

00:52:11.600 that is their goal to help it seems to be awfully quiet yeah it's sickening it's sickening i know so

00:52:19.080 many women who have gone to become doctors and lawyers and teachers and and just doing really incredible

00:52:24.800 things and now to think that their lives are going to be relegated to a dank basement and every time

00:52:31.560 they step out of the house they're going to have to be completely covered and accompanied by a male 0.99

00:52:35.520 relative they're not going to be able to work or go to school or to really have any sense of

00:52:40.240 be seen or heard um it just is it's just an unfathomable thought it's just yeah especially in urban

00:52:49.380 areas like kabul where women have just yeah they have grown up to have these these rights or just to 1.00

00:52:55.440 think that that has been stripped away from them like that i just i can't even wrap my head around it

00:53:00.500 right now um tell me about your your escort uh the taliban out tell me about that yeah so what

00:53:11.040 happened was my photographer jake and i we were we had a base in kabul and we're actually planning to be

00:53:16.560 both of us have spent considerable time in afghanistan before and we were planning to be

00:53:20.540 here through to november so about three months really capturing the end of the era in terms of

00:53:26.240 the u.s and then you know how afghanistan was going to survive in that first little chapter we we weren't

00:53:32.720 quite envisioning things to to fall the way that they did um so we were there working kabul for a

00:53:38.540 little while and decided to go up to mazar sharif which is the northern province and it was actually

00:53:43.840 the province where the u.s first came in after 9-11 and it was the first one taken back from the

00:53:49.880 taliban and if anyone's seen the movie the 12 strong i think it's called you'll see that there

00:53:54.460 is a marshal dostum who was sort of heralding that first group and he's someone i spent a little bit

00:54:00.960 of time with a couple of years ago interviewing in turkey and so coming back we thought we would um i

00:54:06.500 would go and visit him again and do another interview and and there was sort of this lot of

00:54:10.980 hope that his forces combined with some other northern alliance leaders in the north were joining with

00:54:17.000 some of the afghan sf commandos and looked to be a viable fighting force against the taliban who were 0.99

00:54:23.840 quickly taking a lot of the northern provinces but mazar is an extremely anti-taliban place and so it 0.98

00:54:32.020 wasn't like that they had any community support that they may have had in other provinces that are in

00:54:37.100 the south or along the pakistan border which tend to be a little bit more sympathetic to the taliban

00:54:41.420 mazar wasn't like that at all so we went north i believe it was thursday of the week before last

00:54:47.840 and you know we got there and it was just it was this vibrant city that i'd grown to know and love and

00:54:54.000 the markets were full and people were out and and we were got i was going around interviewing the

00:54:59.560 shopkeepers and i was outside there sort of very have a very famous blue mosque and i was outside there

00:55:04.960 in the park and sitting with the women talking to the men talking to people that have fled other northern

00:55:09.440 provinces uh who were escaping the taliban and and things just felt very full of life and i'm i was

00:55:15.360 sitting there just trying to think how is this place on the verge of being attacked by the taliban i 1.00

00:55:21.260 you know nobody sort of seemed too concerned and i thought well you know maybe everything's fine and i

00:55:26.120 i kept in very close contact with a lot of my afghan security officials who said no there's no way

00:55:31.500 mazar is ever going to fall and if it does it's going to be a long way away so i felt very confident

00:55:37.460 being there and then the following day friday you noticed a shift and it was quite bizarre and i

00:55:43.260 we still went out we're still in the streets i'm still doing interviews and things but less people

00:55:48.680 were around and you just sort of started to see that there was something and people kept telling me

00:55:53.820 shopkeepers are like they're coming and i thought you know they're still a fair way away and i thought

00:55:59.040 no they're really going to push them back you've got this incredible fighting force

00:56:02.580 and then by saturday it was just bizarre and i woke up and we went out and there were just people

00:56:10.420 lined up around the bank trying to get their money out so that they could flee and i was trying to get

00:56:15.160 hold of so many of my interpreters and fixes and things to help me out with some stories and everybody

00:56:20.160 just kept saying everybody's left everybody's gone to carble everybody's ran away kind of thing

00:56:24.140 and it's a 10-hour drive between mazar and carble um so i was a bit stuck and then i ended up

00:56:30.460 finding someone who was able to come out and um and do some uh translations for me and i got into

00:56:36.880 a cab and i started to see all these people fleeing from the outside villages and they were coming into

00:56:41.780 the city and we were trying to interview them and and we're driving along this very abandoned road

00:56:46.680 outside the city and this cab driver just turned and looked at me and he said i'm scared i don't want

00:56:51.360 to go any further and i said oh okay um we'll go back no problem and the interpreter was sort of on the

00:56:57.400 phone and he turned around and he had this very bizarre big smile on his face and he said to me

00:57:01.660 oh they've broken through the front line they're coming to mazar and i thought there's no way this

00:57:06.240 is happening you know this this place was just alive yesterday and the afternoon kind of continued and

00:57:12.580 my photographer and i went out to this kebab cafe and there was just not a soul on the street it was it

00:57:16.860 was very eerie and we sat down and then we just looked at each other and went something is really

00:57:22.280 wrong something we don't know is really really wrong let's go and so we hurried back to the hotel

00:57:27.380 we were staying and just as i'm hurrying back through these streets i see this swarm of motorcycles

00:57:33.100 coming into the city and that was the taliban and they basically were able to come in and take over 1.00

00:57:38.360 that city without a shot um so we we kind of made it in just in time and um sort of holed up on the roof

00:57:45.800 of where we were staying and we were able to kind of look down and see um basically the way that they

00:57:51.040 were just able to come through and take over a complete city and so from there it was kind of

00:57:55.300 we were completely surrounded and it was a very unnerving feeling because i thought oh my goodness

00:58:00.560 what what am i going to do next i wasn't planning to be in the city as it fell okay all right hold

00:58:05.860 on just a second let me let me just take a one minute break we're back with holly mckay here in a 0.99

00:58:09.680 second uh she'll finish the story as sandra was having trouble sleeping for a very long time because 0.99

00:58:15.000 through the night she would wake up in pain problem was the inflammation in her joints and it made her

00:58:19.540 ache all through her body you know the aching feeling that you get when you have the flu

00:58:23.900 it's uh it's what she was feeling every single night and there was no hope of change in sight until

00:58:29.700 she heard about relief factor she was skeptical but she was also desperate and i know what that feels

00:58:34.740 like she had uh very little to lose and a lot to gain if relief after worked sure enough she says

00:58:41.460 after a couple of weeks her pain began to melt away these days she is sleeping soundly she has her life

00:58:47.720 back and so could you please try relief factor relief factor dot com it's 1995 for a three-week

00:58:54.840 trial pack if it doesn't work for you after three weeks stop taking it 70 of the people who try it go

00:59:11.720 it's relieffactor.com 10 seconds station id

00:59:15.240 so why didn't they fight uh we're back with uh with holly mckay why didn't they fight 0.60

00:59:32.220 so the night before i actually spent the night before with the afghan uh special forces commandos

00:59:37.840 and what i'd been gathering and what they were able to affirm to me and also affirm to me after

00:59:42.780 the fact when i when i went back to them and they're all in hiding now of course running running

00:59:47.000 for their lives when they explained to me what happened was that they were basically sold out

00:59:52.260 glenn so this is how corrupt the afghan you know within the ranks of both the government and the 0.97

00:59:57.740 military and i really feel that the u.s throughout this entire occupation turned a blind eye to the level

01:00:03.360 of corruption and that was a big factor yep yep we did and so what happened was there was a deal

01:00:08.840 struck between one of the top a and a afghan national army leaders in the area who was just

01:00:14.660 appointed by ghani mind you a week before this happened he was appointed and and he and a you

01:00:20.860 know a bunch of other kind of leaders all struck a deal with the um with the taliban in advance to

01:00:27.220 basically hand over the city they got their money or whatever it is they got they got to flee they're

01:00:30.960 all gone they were all off into uzbekistan or whatever they'd all left the country these poor 1.00

01:00:37.620 men and this is what upset me most when president baden was was blaming the afghans for running away

01:00:43.200 these poor men some of them very young kids some you know boys i should uh young men i should say

01:00:50.300 some of them being a very experienced fighters were basically left to the slaughter they didn't know a

01:00:55.680 deal had already been struck for them to to surrender they didn't know that so they're fighting

01:00:59.720 my contact in the uh commando said to me you know he got to four o'clock that afternoon and

01:01:05.100 they were just being overwhelmed and overrun and he said then somebody came in and told him that

01:01:09.640 basically everybody had left and he just said the morale he just said you know basically they were just

01:01:14.360 told you guys just need to run because the city's already been handed over so if you keep fighting

01:01:18.720 they'll just kill you so these poor um young men and women are fleeing toward the uzbek border and then 0.97

01:01:24.800 they sort of get there and they're dumping you know whatever you know this is a sad bit too is

01:01:29.800 you know they're having to dump their weapons and dump their um vehicles and things and they're

01:01:34.480 trying to get into to uzbekistan which i think had to end up shutting the border because it was so

01:01:38.920 overwhelmed um so they were really left to the slaughter and i and i can't blame them at that point for

01:01:43.800 wanting to run away when they know that their own leaders on their side had already sold them out

01:01:48.800 yeah yeah and and i mean what are you gonna what are you gonna do at that point you're gonna run

01:01:52.940 for your life i mean who are you fighting for at that point you're not fighting for your country

01:01:56.920 anymore so so the taliban that's something the taliban says to you that you know hey we're not the

01:02:04.200 taliban of 20 years ago we've got about three minutes to finish this story i'm so sorry i'd love to have

01:02:10.140 you on again so yeah so uh basically long story short the only way we realized that we were actually

01:02:15.820 going to get out of the city was to to have the taliban take us out there was too many checkpoints 0.99

01:02:20.720 there's no way we could have passed those ourselves safely um so the taliban threw some very careful 0.98

01:02:26.360 diplomacy thanks thankfully some really great uh state department people plus the uzbek consul in

01:02:31.220 mazar was extremely helpful we were able to to get an escort yeah and immediately the first thing that

01:02:37.000 you know the taliban driver says to me is he just got out of bag room too um that was you know very

01:02:41.880 nonchalant and basically he wanted to tell me he wanted to welcome me so the

01:02:45.720 governor the governor wished he could have been there to talk to me but he uh was busy and then

01:02:51.500 sort of said we're not the same there's a lot of propaganda about us but then i started to obviously

01:02:55.960 read through the lines that i probed and i wanted to know well what what do you what is your future

01:03:00.100 for afghanistan and it was very clear and they made nothing no effort to hide the fact they wanted a

01:03:04.980 very stringent interpretation of of sharia and that um you know women were going to be covered and

01:03:11.940 stuck into their basements and and you know anyone who steals was going to get their hand cut off so

01:03:17.420 they were pretty blunt about that um having said that they were very polite to me because i was a

01:03:22.900 foreigner and i recognize that i know that my afghan friends and and colleagues are not going to be 0.99

01:03:29.480 given uh the sort of the nice treatment that i received you know and and that's what what sort of

01:03:35.320 scared me so um i was lucky but but that luck won't be extended i i would love to have you back

01:03:41.920 on maybe even perhaps later this week just to talk about some of your other experiences and and to be

01:03:46.940 able to because you've been everywhere you have seen the worst of the worst and i'd love to hear

01:03:52.260 how this compares to what has already happened elsewhere uh what is coming for afghanistan

01:04:00.240 uh holly mckay the name of her book is only cry for the living she's a journalist and war crimes

01:04:06.760 investigator and an amazing storyteller holly mckay thank you back in a minute

01:04:12.540 this is the glenn back program we have somebody else who just uh got a bunch of women out of 1.00

01:04:21.640 afghanistan we're going to talk to her about that in just a minute first i want to i want you to do

01:04:26.400 something for yourself today i know your your schedule is busy but i i would ask that you

01:04:33.380 would just take a minute to check out patriot mobile the idea of changing your mobile phone 0.91

01:04:48.020 donating to leftist causes they contribute to things like the defense of the second amendment and the

01:04:54.340 first amendment and anti uh anti-abortion uh things here's the here's the important part switching

01:09:20.800 i'm just a mom or i you know what do i what can i possibly do you didn't think that you just did it

01:09:28.260 well i'm the mother of 11 biological children and nine children are girls are girls and always one man

01:09:36.800 by the way good for you and um you know i met these i worked in the space industry in washington dc

01:09:44.480 after obtaining my master's at harvard at 50 55 years old in 2016 wow and the doors swung open for

01:09:52.340 me to to to walk into this field it's been it's been an honor to work with um our best and brightest

01:09:58.700 and and humble and genius people um and one thing they taught me was failure was not an option

01:10:04.000 uh they make uh science fiction fact and they aren't they are really unstoppable um i was invited

01:10:12.660 to be on a very prestigious board of directors that i actually don't even deserve to be on

01:10:17.240 called explore mars they advocate in washington dc for human space exploration and each year we have

01:10:23.040 a conference um at ndc where we uh bring in a lot of leaders to promote and to talk about exploration

01:10:30.660 we decided we would bring over these five uh girls on the afghan robotic team and um elon musk actually

01:10:39.220 actually paid their way these girls came and our our goal was to allow them to immerse themselves in 0.99

01:10:44.960 the space industry to um to brush shoulders with astronauts and to dream big um i immediately got

01:10:52.300 had a connection with these girls having so many daughters and i think it was vice versa

01:10:56.120 and one of the things they requested after going to the wife's house and museums was

01:11:00.960 allison we just want to go to an amusement park and i thought and so i quickly raised the money in about

01:11:06.980 15 minutes for all these girls to go and i had video of them there and and they just had an amazing 1.00

01:11:12.740 time you know sometimes kids just need to be kids yeah but i kept in touch with them for a couple of

01:11:17.500 years through text and in december of 2020 they began to request hey we're going to graduate high

01:11:22.860 school we'd like to come to the united states to get our degrees in engineering could you help us

01:11:27.480 with scholarships and we've been a lot of groundwork in that area but i woke up on tuesday august 3rd

01:11:33.920 with an overwhelming dreadful feeling that they were in great danger at this time nothing had quite

01:11:39.000 collapsed yet or anything like that and i thought to myself i've got i've got this must be a divine

01:11:45.360 warning um i couldn't shake it i tried to and i immediately began to reach out people to people

01:11:50.700 way above my pay grade i knew i would have to find some power and some influence and i didn't know

01:11:55.320 where to start i just was armed with a courage and a cause and a cell phone and i just began to

01:12:01.040 to for two weeks night and day uh try to find something i kept running into brick wall after brick

01:12:07.860 wall after brick wall a lead would go hot like if something was going to happen and then it'd go cold

01:12:12.060 um i was working in conjunction with their um leader and mentor um who is from afghanistan who

01:12:18.160 lives in the united states so she was working hard on her path of influence and i was going hard in my

01:12:22.800 u.s area uh there's sometimes when you have a dream and if nothing is working you need to take

01:12:27.940 drastic action you need to do something wild and i decided um i would fly to qatar um it was it was a

01:12:36.080 good chance they might be flying there uh evacuated by the qatar government we tried india we tried

01:12:41.500 canada we tried a lot of different places and we just weren't getting anywhere uh so on uh tuesday

01:12:46.900 a couple of weeks ago or a week ago i had a one-way ticket and i thought wow when i get there i don't

01:12:54.160 know anybody i'm traveling alone and so i called i remembered i had a former roommate in washington

01:12:59.180 dc a couple of years ago that had been transferred there with the military and i thought i need to ask

01:13:03.520 her you know where do i eat where do i stay can i go jogging in the mornings what do i wear in public

01:13:07.940 headscarves what's what's proper and she said what's going on and i told her and she said

01:13:13.460 do you know i work in the u.s embassy in qatar i go i had no idea and she said yeah i have the ear of

01:13:19.960 the high officials there i can help you send me their passports send me their information

01:13:24.700 and i'll prepare that i'll prepare it all and present it she stayed up all night she went back

01:13:29.300 to the embassy stayed up all night for midnight to six and presented this and our u.s u.s officials

01:13:34.220 really jumped on it it began to alert people on the ground in kabul and the qatari government got

01:13:41.900 the girls to the airport our officials were right on top of it the whole way uh flanking the operation 1.00

01:13:46.840 we're at the airport in case something went went wrong and somehow in a sea uh chaos of what the

01:13:53.020 pictures you saw of eight million people plus all the refugees miraculous these girls were evacuated 0.98

01:13:58.480 and i didn't have to make the trip to qatar by the way that via my uh friend said no need to come

01:14:04.500 you need to stay on the phone you need to stay on the ground you don't need to be flying 20 hours

01:14:08.000 and being silent with these girls so um it was reported that i did fly there but i think it was

01:14:13.320 just assumed so um anyhow the girls are safe they're in qatar and um hats off to that government for 1.00

01:14:21.700 stepping up i will tell you there are a lot of very brave um muslim countries that uh are are

01:14:29.300 stepping up and they are terrified because they know the uh the weakness of the west right now and

01:14:36.200 they also know if they're outed uh they will have all kinds of um problems from hezbollah and isis and

01:14:44.740 and you know out the new al-qaeda etc etc and they're doing remarkable things just truly remarkable

01:15:36.840 and uh it wasn't just me okay um so i just want to commend all the people that were involved

01:15:42.620 what a tremendous job they did um and how fast they leapt into action you know sometimes you think

01:18:47.440 you're a homeowner and fiscally responsible you probably spend a fair amount of time looking for

01:18:51.780 ways to lower your monthly costs and that undoubtedly means like not spending beyond your means but some

01:18:58.600 of it might uh look like lowering your interest rate on things like your mortgage or your credit

01:19:03.660 card debt the best way i know how to find out what your savings could be is to call american financing

01:19:10.000 their consultants can do a free mortgage review to see if you might be able to refinance at a lower

01:19:15.520 interest rate they can look to see if your debt consolidation loan might work for you they've been

01:19:21.520 helping people just like you get a better financial footing for over 20 years and they're in it for you

01:19:28.060 not the bank you're never going to get any pressure no upfront or hidden fees just the best possible

01:19:33.640 customer service from a group of people who love nothing more than see people like you succeed

01:19:38.300 it's american financing americanfinancing.net americanfinancing.net 800-906-2440

01:20:56.560 confirm that they were off the ground and safe at about uh 5 a.m eastern time uh and it's all because

01:21:05.760 of you and teamwork as our last guest just said it's it's the power of one but as she said it's a team

01:21:32.980 already uh on the tarmac we should we have the capability of turning them around every 30 minutes

01:21:39.560 but we can't get the state department uh to move on it but it is just the power of one individual

01:26:36.320 he's one of the world's leading experts on christian persecution and religious freedom

01:26:42.180 and uh we wanted to talk to him about what is happening with the christians over in afghanistan

01:26:48.240 hi jeff how are you jeff are you there i'm sorry about that i am that's right um thank you for being

01:26:57.520 on with us and thank you for uh keeping track of what's happening all around the world it's getting

01:27:02.380 really dangerous in a lot of places in the world to be a christian yeah unfortunately it is i i half

01:27:11.140 jokingly say it's a growth industry we're in and unfortunately it's even starting to uh come home

01:27:16.360 to roost here in the states i'd like to hear more about that um in a second um first tell me what

01:27:24.420 is happening with the christians what is life like for a christian and i believe there are about 15 000

01:27:31.520 converts from the last 20 years yeah it's uh that's close to the right number and you know glenn those

01:27:39.600 converts are kind of in different in different categories some of them have come out publicly

01:27:44.440 and said look i'm going to live openly as a christian not just as a christian but as a convert from

01:27:49.100 islam and in a place like afghanistan that's a death sentence especially when the taliban comes in it's 1.00

01:27:54.720 one thing when your uh uncle the united states is is in control but when that falls apart that means

01:28:00.520 those guys are they have a target on the back and they're going to be killed and in fact they're

01:28:05.420 going to be killed if i if i have this right the taliban said just last week the christian 1.00

01:28:10.880 converts if we find you we will set you on fire you will burn to death uh and be set on fire while 1.00

01:28:17.940 alive yeah i mean we we all know these guys are horrible they're going door to door they're checking 1.00

01:28:25.480 people going are you going to have you been to mosque are you going to mosque christians are getting

01:28:30.540 calls saying we know you we're watching you and others are being assassinated it hasn't moved to

01:28:36.580 the christians yet it's it's really starting with the judges and the intel people and the special

01:28:41.920 forces they're being dragged out of their homes and shot probably at about a rate of 10 per day

01:28:46.520 we expect that soon unfortunately you're going to see christians dragged out of their homes and 1.00

01:28:50.940 and killed we know because we're trying to save um many um we know that they're not really 0.94

01:28:58.800 congregating together uh anymore they're trying to stay as separate as possible so they don't get

01:29:05.220 each other killed uh and many of them are in hiding with their family yeah absolutely and you know it's

01:29:13.480 always tricky with what can be said in this situation but you know there's there is a mass of humanity

01:29:19.700 that most people know about that surrounds the u.s air base and so obviously there's people in there

01:29:26.660 they're they're all all of those people are targeted for one reason or another um and some

01:29:31.640 of our friends are in there uh and yet at the same time that there's there's those public converts i

01:29:37.440 spoke of but there's a whole mass of others that you're referring to and they're they've been

01:29:42.980 underground and yet at the same time it's not going to take too long to figure out who these people

01:29:47.440 are especially when they get tortured before the murdered and say who else is a christian they'll

01:29:52.200 start working through and doing those kind of things including the others you mentioned so

01:29:56.080 and they'll they'll know who they are because they're not showing up at mosque

01:29:59.300 yeah and even those who are willing to uh to go that length to keep their life to say look i'm

01:30:06.060 going to go to mosque um you know just to stay hidden because if i don't it's going to be clear

01:30:10.540 um but some of them just won't do that they're going to say i can't do that that would make me a

01:30:15.380 fake and then they're going to be discovered pretty quickly i mean it's are you i mean you have to feel

01:30:21.100 this way doing what you do when you see these people and meet these people and you see their

01:30:25.760 faith don't you kind of feel like a fraud i mean because americans have never been pushed against

01:30:32.300 the wall like this i've never had to i've never had to choose my life or my faith before and i hope i

01:30:38.100 would i hope i would stand strong but these people are just incredible just incredible glenn i know no

01:30:47.160 host has ever asked me that question something i often say i'll confess about myself and i think

01:30:52.960 that's just a humble response because i i so often will look at these people and i'll say

01:30:58.840 you know if that's a christian then what am i because what would we do in this situation they're

01:31:04.400 really you see the deepest faith and it coupled with the deepest cost and it's an amazing thing to

01:31:10.560 be associated with them and be able to be able to serve it is it is and you know our country wouldn't

01:31:16.180 take them under barack obama our country won't take them now under joe biden and these are the

01:31:20.800 people that would renew us these people uh would come into our faith communities and we would learn

01:31:28.080 so much from them i mean i i i have i have so rich so much respect and every time i ever think about

01:31:35.540 what i stand up you know you always kind of get down to well could you say things that could you know

01:31:40.920 help you escape and get away would you be willing to play the game these people don't play the game

01:31:46.160 they don't play the game they're like yes or no i'm either a christian or i'm not

01:31:52.160 absolutely yeah there are so many and they've even like i said they've they've even come out already

01:31:58.700 so they didn't even choose to stay hidden some of them have uh converted and then even on their id

01:32:04.780 cards you know it shows uh what's going on and so that that kind of courage is something and

01:32:11.300 and it's frustrating because there are people in that ring around the human around the the base

01:32:18.660 that have to get through where they're going to be assassinated and there's the talk from the

01:32:23.480 administration uh and then there's the actuality of what's going on on the ground very very few

01:32:28.320 people are getting through and to my knowledge none of the our friends have gotten through

01:32:33.380 uh well anything that we can do to help your organization um you know i've i just signed for a bridge

01:32:43.580 loan yesterday for 20 737s and a320s uh and as as we get them rolling uh any christians that can get

01:32:55.240 into the airport uh we will we will take them in um if you if please let's just team up off air

01:33:04.880 because anything we can do we will well first of all you just solved a mystery because i was just i

01:33:11.200 just got off the phone with our contacts inside and we were aware of these planes that are available

01:33:17.520 and we were like now who did this we were we were speculating who did it so you just provided the

01:33:22.840 answer yeah i so appreciate that you're amazing yeah it's our audience that has done it i mean we've

01:33:27.500 absolutely last week i went on the air and said we need money we are just about to break 30 million

01:33:34.940 dollars uh and so we have the money we have you know we're just we really need prayers because uh the

01:33:43.700 state department is standing in our way otherwise we'd be lifting off all the time um yeah that's the

01:33:50.600 deal i mean they're and just for your listeners it's like look i'm on the outside we have no

01:33:55.060 connection it's the first time we've ever spoken and i'm just got off the phone and it's like the

01:34:00.000 planes are out there waiting we don't know who's provided them um and yet the problem is getting

01:34:05.520 them through the gate and it's and it's honestly it's beyond the christians i feel for all these

01:34:10.980 people they all have you know they have a target on their back and on the one hand you'd say you

01:34:16.280 understand the position of military they don't want to get embarrassed they don't want

01:34:19.260 a suicide bomber but look we've been handling this type of situation for a long time in iraq i think

01:34:24.340 they've learned something and you think if they could just get them onto the base and sort them

01:34:28.580 if they have to throw some of the fish back so be it if they're scammers or whatever but get these

01:34:33.700 people out of that ring around the airport and by the way glenn they have no food no water uh no

01:34:40.500 medicine and their phone charges are only linked to their survival to any hope they have they don't even

01:34:47.020 have phone chargers so if anything if they could just get that out into that area we we have these

01:34:52.860 people yeah we put a plane up in the sky yesterday it was about this time that it was being loaded

01:34:59.520 um and they had been on the tarmac for days uh and as we were loading them onto the plane

01:35:06.660 uh our guy said we have to call for medical aid when we land because everyone on this plane is

01:35:15.480 dehydrated we need ivs well those people sat on the tarmac waiting for the state department for six

01:35:22.040 additional hours before they were allowed to take off yeah and and we we are friends we work with the

01:35:30.680 state department we're big fans but this has got to change it's a disaster um and something has got

01:35:37.760 to break free it's like let's just put humanity first and get bureaucracy out of the way and let's

01:35:41.980 move fast and save lives but i can't tell you how much i appreciate what you guys are doing and

01:35:47.880 based on your initiative and drive and and your heart so amazing we'll uh we'll help you any way we can i'm

01:35:54.740 gonna um uh i'm gonna have one of our producers put you in touch with the nazarene fund and if there's

01:36:03.000 any way we can help you um we will we will oh thank you sir you bet i appreciate you bet bye-bye uh

01:36:11.120 you know there it's an amazing thing how we uh we all can just come together and just put our

01:36:23.720 differences aside and the nice thing about it is no one that i know of gives a flying crap who gets

01:36:31.660 the credit nobody cares and everybody that i know of i mean we know that there is a possibility that

01:36:40.820 uh some of our people who are out trying to rescue people and bring them in we know there's a possibility

01:36:48.740 that they may be killed or the people they're shepherding could be killed and that would be

01:36:55.380 really bad we're a group of people and and uh i would put jeff in this same category he just kind

01:37:02.860 of said pretty much the same thing we don't we're not looking for anything let's just put humanity

01:37:09.760 first we don't care who gets the credit and we'll take the blame i'm fully aware my wife said to me

01:37:18.320 this weekend she said glenn this is so dangerous what happens if blah blah blah and i said honey

01:37:23.940 they're going to they're going to find some way to make us into evil bad guys anyway what difference

01:37:32.120 does it make we know they're going to say things do you know i read a story last night glenn beck

01:37:38.520 says he raised x number of dollars i i say that well you did say it technically it is an accurate

01:37:47.740 headline you have said it yeah isn't it interesting because that's not the headline i would uh write

01:37:54.220 what they're they're implying that we didn't raise that money they're implying that somehow or another

01:38:01.400 this is just a i guess what a made-up fantasy land definitely i would say they left it open

01:42:01.000 doing um it is truly amazing let me give you an update um yesterday we had an aircraft of

01:42:13.080 uh 340 that took off then today this morning i announced that uh we had two uh jets that have

01:42:23.960 taken off uh the the last jet is currently in the process of turning it around quickly as possible to

01:42:32.600 grab another 340 on the tarmac yesterday was really challenging this is um getting this from the head of

01:42:41.700 our operations over in the middle east he said it all worked out by the grace of god um one of our

01:42:47.560 aircraft broke down on the tarmac in kabul we had to replace the battery and organize the passengers to

01:42:54.140 get them on the correct manifest list uh confusion because another aircraft on the ramp had important

01:43:00.940 passengers heading to another destination and all the names were written apparently in pashtu

01:43:06.380 which none of us speak but we had to get all of those names translated and all of the documents translated

01:43:13.880 anyway uh the aircraft uh took off after sitting on the ramp uh it was fully loaded we finally got the

01:43:22.360 permission from the state department um we will um this says i can't talk about that um our biggest

01:43:31.440 obstacle remains the state department and the white house um we have senior officials not going to say

01:43:42.080 where i'm not going to read any of that tensions outside of the gate extremely high people are on top of

01:43:49.880 each other the taliban continues to obstruct at every turn lots of concern today over ieds going off

01:43:57.460 outside of the gate contrary to popular knowledge the taliban and isis hate each other and isis wants

01:44:04.840 the taliban to suffer and may do so via some sort of attack at the gates that way they can blame it 0.98

01:44:11.440 on the taliban personally i i can't wait until we're all out of there so they can just kill each other 0.93

01:44:18.480 it would be fantastic if they would just spend the time you know thinning the herd of bad guys

01:44:25.160 i uh i welcome them unlike other administrations i don't think we should arm them but maybe that's

01:44:33.980 just me we will try to give you an update as uh things begin to move um i know i can confirm that

01:44:43.440 700 uh christians women children families have uh now landed in a safe country in the middle east which

01:44:52.780 will which will remain nameless uh for their safety and the country's safety um but uh i can confirm

01:45:00.220 today that the first 700 have landed and they are okay and now being processed to go to their new homes

01:45:08.460 all around the world uh we need your prayers and if you still want to donate you can we can always use

01:45:16.080 that this is this is going to be an ongoing effort not just in afghanistan but uh unfortunately all

01:45:22.500 across the middle east as america becomes weaker you can donate at the nazarenefund.org or mercuryone.org

01:45:31.360 this is the glenbeck program knowing who you can count on in this country is extremely important

01:45:50.840 was amac it was started when we were at fox and i was talking about another you know a seniors group

01:45:56.940 and i'm like what are these people doing they are selling people down the river that's when um a very

01:46:03.360 smart guy decided to start amac he is fighting on our side this this now he has unfortunately passed

01:46:12.380 away but his family is in charge of uh amac now and they are warriors warriors for the constitution

01:46:18.820 they stand firm with the truth and they will not fold under pressure it is one group i think you can

01:46:25.820 count on and it's the association of mature american citizens otherwise known as amac there's now two

01:46:32.520 million members strong i urge you to become a member they stand for advocacy benefits and information

01:46:59.500 nazarenefund.org

01:47:01.060 andrew cuomo is awful yes of course but andrew cuomo is also gone

01:47:11.820 goodbye andrew cuomo is officially out of office the long new york based nightmare is over he wrote

01:47:25.340 today said i i hereby tender my resignation for the office of governor of the state of new york

01:47:30.100 this resignation will be effective at midnight which is already passed this past day midnight august 24th

01:47:36.520 2021 it has been my pleasure to serve with you both oh it really has been our pleasure hasn't it

01:47:45.020 watching andrew cuomo flail through the past god how long has it been 10 years of being governor he

01:47:53.340 wanted another term he wanted to outdo his father that was his big goal to get to his fourth term as

01:48:00.020 governor of new york he did not succeed in fact he didn't even equal his father who actually lasted

01:48:08.300 his full three terms now andrew cuomo of course is made news as he's gone out of office as he typically

01:48:15.820 does cuomo who had been staying with his sisters in westchester county recently had asked staff

01:48:24.600 members in the executive mansion if anyone would like to keep his dog captain who has remained at

01:48:33.080 the state-owned residence after the governor moved out last week now typically when you move out of your

01:48:38.140 home you bring the dog with you i mean i think that's the normal way of doing things and if you're

01:48:45.040 going to go live with your sister then maybe you bring your dog with you maybe your sister takes care

01:48:50.680 of it but apparently they he left it at the mansion now this is coming from two state police

01:48:56.940 police sources through the albany times union they said that the governor had asked mansion staff

01:49:03.180 members if anyone would be interested in caring for the dog apparently he had nipped a few people

01:49:10.020 over the years and was a little bit of a problem of course obviously cuomo denied this because that's

01:49:17.160 what cuomo does when anyone criticizes him about anything he just denies it and acts as if you're

01:49:22.740 crazy for asking he has denied it and through initially a spokesperson a person who is all over

01:49:31.980 the report about how he abused women he came out and said ah come on this is a lie you can't possibly

01:49:37.860 think this is true and finally andrew cuomo tweeted about his dog saying some people just can't get

01:49:47.040 the facts straight yes i was downstate monitoring storm response for a few days but captain and i

01:49:53.240 are a man and his dog he is part of our family and that's the way it will always be and he tweeted a

01:50:00.340 great photo and it kind of warmed your heart a little bit it's andrew cuomo

01:50:03.820 petting his dog with his loving daughters looking along i mean it's it's a beautiful photo and it almost

01:50:11.220 looks like a professional photo really it really is a nice picture um it does kind of look like a

01:50:17.280 professional photo i think it oh that's because it was it was from people magazine from 2020 so it was

01:50:24.040 not a current photo at all once again andrew cuomo in another moment of this one a minor crisis lies

01:50:34.640 yet again because that's what he does that's who he is that's why he's gone because he lies all the

01:50:42.960 time that's who andrew cuomo is

01:50:46.180 andrew cuomo lies it's what he does all of the time all of the things he says every time he says them

01:50:56.800 are lies he cannot physically say something that is true it is not within his skill set

01:51:06.980 of course obviously uh he is still under investigation now they they've thrown out the

01:51:15.860 impeachment part of the proceedings because as you all understand democrats think it's crazy

01:51:23.820 to impeach a politician after they've left office that would be insane never have they ever recommended

01:51:32.280 impeaching a politician after they have left office can you imagine such a crazy thing supported by

01:51:39.420 democrats i know i can't but that was legitimately their excuse oh come on it's a moot point the guy's

01:51:46.440 leaving office do you remember the last year do we not recall what happened in january as president

01:51:55.940 trump was about to leave office what you recommended happen after he left office do you remember all of

01:52:01.840 this this is not ring a bell at all doesn't matter i will say though democrats really almost to the

01:52:11.700 level that i do hated andrew cuomo i mean they really despised andrew cuomo and that's the only

01:52:17.800 way he's leaving office as you know democrats don't leave office because they've they've been involved

01:52:25.260 in a scandal i mean we have governors in this country who are who have been photographed in blackface

01:52:35.400 and are still running their states that is what happens when you're a democrat if you get involved

01:52:41.260 in a scandal you don't need to leave you stay you stay and the media covers for you and we all move on

01:52:47.420 that's what happens but andrew cuomo actually passed this sort of mythical line somehow he was able to get

01:52:57.040 through the wall of protection from the democratic party and you can only do that by doing by being

01:53:02.680 really really efficient in in how terrible of a person you are because people are now saying well

01:53:11.340 look this is frustrating because he's being kicked off out of office because of the me too scandal and

01:53:17.540 of course that's important if you read the report which i have done and we've gone over here on this

01:53:23.600 program you realize that there is a lot in the report it's not just a couple of jokes he made it's not

01:53:29.300 just a couple of hand gestures that got mistaken he did a lot and he deserves to be removed for what

01:53:35.500 he did he's fighting that still he released a video yesterday still proclaiming his innocence

01:53:41.540 there are a lot of accusations against him and he of course deserves due process barely but he deserves

01:53:48.460 due process and if it was just that i don't think he would be removed how many times have we seen

01:53:55.320 democratic politicians walk right through a scandal like this doesn't matter how many women accuse 1.00

01:54:00.540 you of things if you're a democrat generally speaking unless you're harvey weinstein you're

01:54:04.000 pretty much going to make it through but he went so much further than that all of the people that

01:54:13.640 hated him in new york all of the lies all of the investigations the nursing home scandal was necessary

01:54:20.280 to remove him from office if that did not occur he would not be gone now i would absolutely rather

01:54:26.300 have him in office than have thousands of families grieving their relatives i would prefer that all of

01:54:34.240 the thousands of people that he is responsible for their deaths i would i would prefer they were

01:54:41.240 still alive and even though it would suck for the people of new york that he was still in office

01:54:45.200 you'd like the idea that people with beating hearts still had them beating unfortunately that's not

01:54:53.000 an option because of what andrew cuomo did with the nursing homes and we should remember the way this

01:54:59.500 is being framed now and and tossed away is look it was a it was a difficult time it was a hard time for

01:55:08.920 every politician and you know maybe he made a mistake he did that's this is not an understandable mistake

01:55:14.420 any more than it's an understandable mistake to not evacuate your tens of thousands of people

01:55:20.140 out of a country as you hand it over to the taliban it's not a mistake you can excuse 1.00

01:55:25.080 he put known infected patients with a pandemic virus in the same rooms with the most vulnerable people

01:55:35.600 he knowingly imported and guaranteed the import of covid19 into nursing homes

01:55:42.420 this is not an understandable oopsie this is probably the single worst decision made in the

01:55:51.300 entire pandemic era add on to that the fact that he was one of that was he was one of only a few

01:55:58.920 democratic governors who did that some of which still have survived that crisis and it proves that

01:56:05.000 you need all of these elements to remove someone like andrew cuomo governor of new jersey is still in

01:56:09.620 office somehow after he did the same thing one thing he did not do though was prevent nursing homes

01:56:15.040 prevent nursing homes from even testing patients that were coming in for covid19 why in their own

01:56:24.040 words because they wanted to make sure that covid19 patients were not discriminated against because of

01:56:30.040 their covid19 status as if it was their skin color oh we can't we can't discriminate against those people

01:56:40.540 with a deadly virus that could be passed to the most vulnerable person in the bed next to them

01:56:45.480 even after he was warned by the nursing homes that many of the nursing homes he was importing covid19

01:56:52.280 into did not have private rooms they were sharing rooms people who were infected and people who were not

01:57:01.400 infected well he brought everybody together because after that everybody was infected and thousands died

01:57:08.300 because of that move thousands he then covered it up over and over and over again to the point of to this

01:57:16.700 moment they are still under reporting how many people are dead in new york from covid19 the cdc has different

01:57:24.040 numbers than the state of new york why andrew cuomo

01:57:28.500 andrew cuomo is under investigation still by the brooklyn u.s attorney's office for covering up the death toll

01:57:36.100 he's still uh under um uh investigation for profiting 5.1 million dollars to write a book in which he bragged

01:57:48.560 about his leadership over the very people who later got him thrown out of office

01:57:53.980 this has been an unmitigated catastrophe and it's easy now for the media to look at it and say okay

01:58:06.080 well he's out of office he he did some really bad things and he's gone

01:58:11.360 but that's only because there were people in the conservative media

01:58:17.760 and people who just were victimized some of them actually democrats by the way

01:58:23.020 who stood up and said wait a minute we're not going to let this one slide

01:58:25.900 we'll let a lot of stuff slide we're not going to let this slide

01:58:28.440 i often will single out janice dean for her role in this 0.65

01:58:34.480 you know her from fox news of course her husbands both of their parents died in nursing homes during this era

01:58:41.580 and she was she's like the nicest person in the universe and she was willing to come out and step

01:58:48.240 out in front um of the cameras over and over again to remind people of what andrew cuomo has done here

01:58:54.460 and hold him to account and without her there'd be this would not have occurred

01:58:59.800 she's going to be on my program studios america tonight as we do a little bit of a celebration

01:59:05.160 of andrew cuomo getting out of our lives at least for a short time

01:59:09.700 but you have to remember that cuomo was praised by the media this man was seen as a potential replacement

01:59:22.660 for joe biden if somehow maybe his cognitive abilities weren't up to snuff

01:59:31.800 they were saying that you know look he might be a disaster in a debate with donald trump

01:59:37.980 and if he fails and falls apart maybe we just we just insert andrew cuomo

01:59:41.400 maybe that's what we do because he's done such a good job with a pandemic had he had he done a good

01:59:49.140 job with a pandemic look back at what he was actually saying in the press conferences he's

01:59:54.980 constantly praised for and that's one of the things that needs to be remembered here this is not a

02:00:00.780 situation where andrew cuomo made a few mistakes in a tough time it's not a situation where andrew cuomo

02:00:09.320 had he did a really good job early on but then fell apart no he did a terrible job from day one

02:00:15.920 he was telling people in mid-march to get on the subways he continually criticized donald trump for

02:00:24.660 acting too slow even though he was behind trump every step of the way every step of the way

02:00:31.020 he later made a poster he later made a poster mocking donald trump for comparing

02:00:37.100 covid19 to the flu in like february when he himself did it in mid-march

02:00:43.040 all of this is to tell you that thank god for the people of new york for my relatives who live in new york

02:00:53.280 that they no longer have to be ruled by this terrible creature

02:01:00.920 thank god it's over for at least the time being unfortunately he has 18 million dollars in the

02:01:08.120 bank and he's going to do everything he can to buy his way back into politics maybe not in office

02:01:12.940 but in in a way of to influence things negatively as he only only andrew cuomo can do
