Transcript

00:00:00.000 Uh, let me tell you about, uh, the new snack in town.
00:00:04.300 In fact, we have the new, let me, uh, the new snack in town.
00:00:10.920 Yes, that's right.
00:00:12.440 I was in the hot, the hot Arizona sun, just trying to work my abs.
00:00:20.740 And, uh, I thought, gee, I could use a glass of agua and, uh, maybe a snack.
00:00:28.240 And, of course, somebody said, my God, look at him.
00:00:32.140 He looks so built.
00:00:33.820 And then I thought, built, built bar.
00:00:35.820 Oh, have a built bar.
00:00:37.300 Built bar.
00:00:38.480 That's what happened?
00:00:39.420 That's what, well, not, not really.
00:00:42.040 Uh, you can go to built.com and get great protein bars that are just like candy bars.

00:01:00.280 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:25.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:35.920 Yes.
00:01:37.800 Hello, America, and welcome to Monday.
00:01:41.520 Hey, should we go east of the border?
00:01:46.160 Yes, to Afghanistan.
00:01:50.460 And, uh, well, first we're going to make a quick stop, a little pit stop at the White House.
00:01:54.800 See what the president's talking about.
00:01:57.020 We don't even know if the president knows what he's talking about.
00:02:00.060 In fact, chances are he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.
00:02:04.740 But we'll discover that together in 60 seconds.
00:02:08.180 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:12.940 So, Michael lives in Connecticut.
00:02:15.640 He wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.
00:02:17.560 He said, Relief Factor helped me almost completely eliminate my elbow pain when I couldn't find any other solution.
00:02:24.100 I've been looking for a while.
00:02:25.260 It's a great product.
00:02:26.100 It even helped me a lot with my other aches and pains.
00:02:28.240 Since I started taking Relief Factor, I feel like I have more energy.
00:02:32.340 I generally feel better.
00:02:34.200 Thank you.
00:02:34.960 Thank you.
00:02:35.540 Thank you.
00:02:36.100 Relief Factor.
00:02:37.260 Michael, thank you for listening and writing in.
00:02:40.280 Living in pain is one thing, but living with pain and then having it taken away is something else entirely.
00:02:46.600 It's like getting your life back.
00:02:48.140 Believe me, I know.
00:02:48.980 Get your life back.
00:02:50.480 Try it.
00:02:50.900 Relief Factor.
00:02:51.640 It's not a drug developed by doctors.
00:02:53.200 And about 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more because it works for them.
00:02:59.160 So, try the three-week quick start trial pack.
00:03:01.560 If you don't feel anything, if you're not getting your pain relief in the first three weeks, it's probably not going to work for you.
00:03:08.440 Do it now.
00:03:09.260 ReliefFactor.com.
00:03:10.300 800-583-84.
00:03:12.800 ReliefFactor.com.
00:03:13.780 800-583-84.
00:03:20.720 Wow.
00:03:23.200 Wow, there's a few things that have been happening this weekend.
00:03:28.400 Have you noticed, Stu?
00:03:30.300 You noticed there was...
00:03:31.200 You know, I just didn't have time to check it out, but I guess there's some news.
00:03:36.680 There's a new Jeopardy! host maybe coming in.
00:03:38.740 Is that what you wanted to get to?
00:03:39.360 That's what I was talking about.
00:03:40.220 Yeah, that's crazy.
00:03:41.440 What a story.
00:03:42.160 So, the White House had another briefing with President Biden, and he did really well.
00:03:50.160 He's doing very well.
00:03:51.340 This is a good performance for Joe.
00:03:53.000 It really is.
00:03:53.700 It really is.
00:03:54.160 Could you possibly have hoped for anything more, I guess, is my question.
00:03:57.660 No, I don't.
00:03:58.960 No, I don't.
00:03:59.820 If you think about just the overall profile of the United States right now, it's going well.
00:04:05.760 Really?
00:04:06.220 Really well.
00:04:07.160 Really well.
00:04:08.000 He's doing a great job.
00:04:09.480 Well, some people are questioning his credibility.
00:04:13.160 Cut 11, please.
00:04:14.700 Here he is because some Americans doubt that he may be all there.
00:04:22.100 Hmm.
00:04:22.400 And here's a reporter asking him about that.
00:04:25.420 Because the United States is now negotiating with the Taliban over Air Force access and such,
00:04:31.140 Do you now trust them?
00:04:33.900 And then a question on the public response.
00:04:36.120 A new poll out today shows Americans wanted to withdraw from Afghanistan, but they disapprove of the way you've handled it.
00:04:43.720 The poll also found that based in part of what transpired in the last week, the majority of Americans, forgive me, I'm just the messenger, no longer consider you going to be competent, focused, or effective at the job.
00:04:55.900 I haven't seen that poll.
00:04:58.400 Anybody want it?
00:04:59.540 From CBS this morning.
00:05:01.320 What would you say to those Americans who no longer believe in the job?
00:05:05.000 Look, I had a basic decision to make.
00:05:09.240 I either withdraw America from a 20-year war that, depending on whose analyses you accept, cost us $150 million a day for 20 years or $300 million a day for 20 years.
00:05:23.880 Okay.
00:05:24.200 Who, and I, you know I carry this card to me every day, and who, in fact, where we lost 2,448 Americans dead and 20,722 wounded.
00:05:40.100 Either increase the number of forces we keep there and keep that going, or I end the war.
00:05:47.420 And I decided to end the war.
00:05:49.600 As I said the other day, you know, the only reason we're in Afghanistan is this is the place from which bin Laden attacked the United States of America.
00:05:58.940 Had this been in another...
00:06:01.600 He goes on to say, yeah, he goes on to say, and I stand by my decision.
00:06:05.540 No, the question isn't why were we in Afghanistan?
00:06:08.620 Or even if we should leave Afghanistan, we're questioning whether we should have left it the way we did.
00:06:17.780 It's like, sir, you ran over 47 kindergartners in the playground.
00:06:22.140 I only had two options, park in the playground and possibly hit kids, or park in the playground and hit kids.
00:06:35.980 That was my only option.
00:06:37.960 Previously, you made the case that you didn't need to eat breakfast, so that's why you were out.
00:06:41.960 And you keep defending your need for breakfast, but we're questioning why you pulled through to the McDonald's, through the kindergartner apartment.
00:06:49.300 I only had one option, and that was kill kids.
00:06:54.520 That was...
00:06:55.680 And I'm proud of my choice on that, but I only had one option.
00:07:02.620 No, you really didn't.
00:07:04.720 You had other...
00:07:05.420 We're not questioning whether you needed an Egg McMuffin.
00:07:08.500 We're questioning why you pulled through...
00:07:10.380 I was powerfully hungry.
00:07:11.640 I know!
00:07:12.960 Powerfully hungry.
00:07:14.240 And I could either starve to death or kill those children.
00:07:19.120 And I didn't like either option.
00:07:22.100 And so I killed the children.
00:07:23.600 We're questioning your route.
00:07:25.840 We question why you went through the playground.
00:07:28.500 I'm telling you I was going to starve to death or kill children.
00:07:31.480 I'm proud of my...
00:07:32.640 Let's move on here.
00:07:36.340 So...
00:07:36.940 He also said, can we play cut...
00:07:39.820 Cut two, please.
00:07:43.480 What is your message to America's partners around the world who have criticized, not the withdrawal, but the conduct of that withdrawal, and made them question America's credibility on the world stage?
00:07:53.500 I have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world.
00:07:57.720 Whoa!
00:07:58.060 Hang on just a second.
00:07:59.220 Stop just a second.
00:08:00.700 I have.
00:08:01.800 Have you?
00:08:02.620 I have.
00:08:03.320 In fact...
00:08:04.600 Watch this one.
00:08:08.300 This is a minister of parliament just last week calling into question President Biden.
00:08:18.860 Listen.
00:08:20.500 This isn't just about us.
00:08:22.020 The mission in Afghanistan wasn't a British mission.
00:08:26.120 It was a NATO mission.
00:08:27.900 It was a recognition that globalization has changed us all.
00:08:31.680 The phone calls that I am still receiving, the text messages that I've been answering as I've been waiting, putting people in touch with our people in Afghanistan, reminds us that we are connected.
00:08:46.320 We are connected, we are connected still today, and Afghanistan is not a far country about which we know little.
00:08:54.460 It is part of the main.
00:08:58.920 That connection links us also to our European partners, to our European neighbors, and to our international friends.
00:09:07.720 And so it is with great sadness that I now criticize one of them.
00:09:16.240 Uh-oh.
00:09:16.980 Because I was never prouder than when I was decorated by the 82nd Airborne after the capture of Musakala.
00:09:23.640 Uh-huh.
00:09:24.660 It was a huge privilege.
00:09:26.700 A huge privilege to be recognized by such an extraordinary unit in combat.
00:09:30.760 But to see their commander-in-chief call into question the courage of men I fought with, to claim that they ran, it's shameful.
00:09:46.900 Those who have never fought for the colors they fly should be careful about criticizing those who have.
00:09:53.300 Amen.
00:09:53.780 Oh, by the way, that is right before they held Biden in contempt.
00:10:01.760 So, I don't know.
00:10:05.200 I think when Parliament says, we got to hold you in contempt of Parliament, I think that's criticism.
00:10:13.740 And the thing is with Biden is, as long as he says, I was unaware of X, Y, and Z, it's sort of believable.
00:10:21.240 Now, because you kind of believe he's unaware of everything.
00:10:25.540 I was unaware that I wasn't wearing pants when I killed all those kids to get an egg McMuffin.
00:10:31.700 They're like, okay, well, he probably didn't know.
00:10:34.460 I mean, really, I had no idea.
00:10:36.520 We could be hard on the guy, but he probably didn't know he didn't have pants on.
00:10:39.940 Right.
00:10:40.320 And speaking of that, here's Secretary Blinken answering that question.
00:10:46.480 Does he have any idea of what's really going on?
00:10:49.100 Does the Secretary, does the President not know what's going on?
00:10:54.160 This is an incredibly emotional time for many of us, and including allies and partners,
00:11:01.820 who've been shoulder to shoulder with us in Afghanistan for 20 years, at high cost to themselves, as well as to us.
00:11:07.980 They stood with us after 9-11.
00:11:09.440 Hold on, just hold on just a sec.
00:11:11.920 Take your bets right now.
00:11:13.820 I'm taking bets.
00:11:14.540 Have you heard this clip before?
00:11:15.700 No.
00:11:15.960 Have you heard this clip before?
00:11:17.540 Okay, so I've got two people in here.
00:11:19.740 Do either of you vote that he actually answers the question?
00:11:23.600 No, of course not.
00:11:24.780 Yeah, it does.
00:11:25.360 Okay.
00:11:25.660 All right, go ahead.
00:11:26.660 NATO, for the first time, an attack on one is an attack on all, and we've been there together.
00:11:30.580 But I've got to tell you this, Chris.
00:11:32.020 From the get-go, I've spent more time with our NATO partners in Brussels,
00:11:36.620 virtually, from before the President made his decision, to when he made his decision, to every time since.
00:11:41.720 We've been working very, very closely together.
00:11:44.060 We've gotten the G7 together, NATO together, the UN Security Council together.
00:11:48.080 We had 113 countries, thanks to our diplomacy, put out a clear understanding of the Taliban's requirements to let people leave the country.
00:11:55.940 Sir, respectfully.
00:11:56.620 Requirements.
00:11:57.220 The Taliban requirements.
00:11:59.440 It makes me sick.
00:12:00.700 At least you spent a lot of virtual time in Brussels, though.
00:12:03.180 Yeah.
00:12:03.380 There's nothing like the virtual time you spend in Brussels.
00:12:06.000 Oh, my gosh.
00:12:06.940 The virtual strolls along the Seine when I was virtually in Paris with my virtual wife.
00:12:15.680 It was a memory to hold dear.
00:12:18.640 It really was a memory to hold dear.
00:12:20.340 He didn't really answer the question, did he?
00:12:21.840 He didn't answer the question at all.
00:12:24.120 What he was saying was, we got other people.
00:12:26.540 Right.
00:12:26.880 We have other people.
00:12:28.220 Don't, I mean, we don't need the president.
00:12:30.100 We have other people.
00:12:31.100 That's their answer.
00:12:31.800 And honestly, that's a better answer than saying he's actually involved in this.
00:12:37.320 Look, look, the the president eats pudding almost 24 hours a day.
00:12:44.100 And once in a while, Kamala comes in and goes, hello, how are you doing?
00:12:50.560 And then she leaves.
00:12:52.240 And that's all the president is doing.
00:12:54.840 So America can relax.
00:12:57.620 He was out of Nilla wafers for a short time, but now he's.
00:13:01.460 And it got ugly.
00:13:02.360 It got ugly.
00:13:03.200 That's when this all happened.
00:13:04.460 But now we make sure.
00:13:08.460 Okay.
00:13:13.620 So we got him.
00:13:14.440 We got him.
00:13:15.500 And strangely, we also pulled out of Afghanistan without doing anything logically.
00:13:22.240 But that's just us.
00:13:25.200 And we're fully aware.
00:13:27.020 We are fully competent.
00:13:28.880 I mean, it's really bad when they say, look, we did all that.
00:13:32.900 First of all, they're lying.
00:13:34.300 They're lying.
00:13:35.620 You worked closely with the allies.
00:13:37.620 How come the British prime minister tried to get a hold of our president for 40 hours?
00:13:46.360 40.
00:13:47.480 It's not like 40 minutes.
00:13:49.220 It's 40 hours.
00:13:50.840 You know, nuclear missiles.
00:13:53.060 They fly in 12 minutes.
00:13:54.640 We're all dead.
00:13:56.480 It's scary.
00:13:57.480 40 hours.
00:13:58.300 It's scary when you think of it like that.
00:13:59.520 Because as bad as a president as Joe Biden is, the fact that we don't actually seem to
00:14:04.800 have a president is in some ways more scary.
00:14:09.560 He doesn't seem to be engaged in this situation at all.
00:14:12.120 He keeps coming out in front of people and saying things that there's video from not
00:14:17.560 like us.
00:14:18.720 It's not like the blaze is breaking these stories.
00:14:21.520 The New York Times, CBS News, ABC News, footage of people being beaten in the streets, footage
00:14:30.000 of all these things happening.
00:14:31.660 And they ask him, he's like, no, we have no reason to believe the Taliban is not letting
00:14:34.980 people through.
00:14:35.600 What are you talking about?
00:14:37.100 Wait a minute.
00:14:38.060 That's just that's not the president saying that alone.
00:14:41.620 Play cut one.
00:14:42.380 Here's the State Department.
00:14:43.500 The Defense Secretary told congressional leaders that Americans were beaten there.
00:14:49.940 So can you confirm that first off?
00:14:52.100 And this is the first indication of what yet to come by the Taliban.
00:14:56.200 Again, every single report, whether it is an American citizen and we take we are in direct
00:15:01.680 contact with American citizens, we take those extraordinarily seriously.
00:15:04.960 Or there are reports we're seeing about at risk Afghans who may be impeded.
00:15:09.260 We take those extraordinarily seriously.
00:15:12.820 It's difficult for us to speak to reports that are anecdotal, that may be on social media.
00:15:21.920 The reports we can speak to are those congressional leaders, according to political justice.
00:15:27.960 The reports we can speak to are those reports that we have heard firsthand because we are
00:15:33.880 in regular, constant communication with American citizens on the ground, providing them guidance,
00:15:38.880 providing them instructions.
00:15:40.440 So oftentimes we do know the most about what American citizens are faring.
00:15:45.640 Ah, so trust the experts is what they're saying.
00:15:48.860 We know better because we're talking to people and we can't these rumors online.
00:15:55.400 You just trust us.
00:15:56.680 By the way, after the press conference where Biden said almost exactly the same thing,
00:16:03.060 ABC News, you know, that right wing news organization.
00:16:09.020 The correspondents described Biden's lies on this and others as, quote, breathtaking and completely
00:16:19.500 out of touch with the reality facing the U.S. citizens and Afghan allies still trapped in the
00:16:27.460 country.
00:16:28.980 Quote, the president said he has no intelligence that Americans have been unable to get there.
00:16:34.460 The question obviously does not square with the reporting on the ground.
00:16:38.220 I mean, it's just totally not.
00:16:41.560 I mean, the reaction was pretty much one of I mean, it's just breathtaking.
00:16:46.720 End quote.
00:16:49.720 I think what he was starting to say was the president is lying or he is completely senile.
00:16:56.760 Now, I don't know why we think that the State Department, maybe senility, they should wear masks.
00:17:07.100 Maybe you can catch what Biden has.
00:17:10.940 It's a good good point for me to bring up that there is a T-shirt senility now available with Joe Biden's stupid face.
00:17:17.980 Oh, we also have the new the new one up.
00:17:20.440 The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, man of the year, Taliban Joe Biden.
00:17:26.320 It's like a nice time cover.
00:17:28.240 Oh, it's very nice.
00:17:29.120 It's a great mug, a great T-shirt available at studosmerch.com.
00:17:32.180 I will say it's a pretty fun one.
00:17:35.160 And I think he should win.
00:17:36.280 I mean, I think legitimately, if you were going to have a Taliban man of the year, I think you have to give it to Joe Biden.
00:17:44.060 I think we're going to cover those ceremonies on a coming Glenn Beck program.
00:17:50.080 I like that.
00:17:51.280 All right.
00:17:52.360 Patriot Mobile.
00:17:53.160 I'd be willing to pay more money for lower cell quality phone service if it meant not giving money to the big mobile companies that support awful things like Planned Parenthood.
00:18:03.640 Not to speak is to speak.
00:18:05.260 Not to stand is to stand.
00:18:06.740 We know we know what they're doing.
00:18:08.860 But what if you didn't have to pay more?
00:18:11.840 In fact, you'd be paying less.
00:18:13.520 And what if instead of lower quality service, you could get the same cell service because they're all on the same towers anyway?
00:18:23.480 Here's the good news.
00:18:24.320 The service you're looking for is Patriot Mobile.
00:18:27.560 Hmm.
00:18:27.880 Verizon.
00:18:28.960 Not the service you're looking for.
00:18:30.800 Hmm.
00:18:31.140 No.
00:18:32.160 Not only do they have affordable and customizable plans that can fit any budget for any family, but they also have great service, superior customer service.
00:18:39.520 And maybe most importantly of all, they donate a portion of your bill to conservative American causes like the defense of life and defense of the Second Amendment and the First Amendment.
00:18:51.260 Heck, all of the amendments.
00:18:53.200 Why not?
00:18:54.200 The choice is clear.
00:18:55.700 Go to go to Patriot Mobile dot com slash back.
00:18:59.660 That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash back.
00:19:03.360 Go there now and save.
00:19:05.520 9-7-2-PATRIOT or Patriot Mobile dot com slash back.
00:19:11.060 Ten seconds.
00:19:12.080 Station ID.
00:19:22.520 I am just waiting on a I have so much to tell you, but I need I need confirmation on what I can tell you.
00:19:35.520 About what is happening on the ground with the Nazarene fund.
00:19:39.300 So I'm expecting that to come in at any time.
00:19:42.380 Let me just say this.
00:19:43.280 It is very busy.
00:19:45.440 And there are some.
00:19:48.000 I mean, massive, massive miracles that happened over the weekend that just the odds of these things happening.
00:19:58.700 I mean, it's clearly this is a God event and we'll we'll get into that here in just a few minutes as soon as I get permission on what I can say and what I can't.
00:20:10.080 And the reason why I can't say some things is because we're in the middle of operations and I don't want to tip our hand.
00:20:17.160 I also don't want to tell stories.
00:20:20.500 All of them will be told, but we're going to have to wait until after we get everybody out.
00:20:27.760 But some amazing, good things and unbelievable bad things about some people involved and that will come out and we'll come out.
00:20:44.720 Oh, I'll be the first to say it out loud.
00:20:49.700 It's not going to be good.
00:20:51.820 How was your weekend still?
00:20:54.880 Well, if I was one of those people, it would not be not be positive looking ahead, but it was it was good.
00:21:00.300 I mean, I I you have to remember to separate yourself occasionally from how terrible things are going on.
00:21:07.600 And you try to do that with your family and your kids on the weekend.
00:21:10.000 But right now, it's overwhelming.
00:21:12.360 It's overwhelming.
00:21:13.020 This this Afghanistan story is, again, the largest, most, most, most incredible collapse of leadership that I've ever seen from a president in my lifetime.
00:21:25.340 I've never seen anything like this.
00:21:27.360 This is catastrophic every day.
00:21:29.120 I keep thinking to myself, what is actually going on?
00:21:31.480 Why are they acting like this?
00:21:33.240 There has to be something we don't know here has to be something we don't know.
00:21:37.860 Biden has like a like a 49 or 50 percent approval rating still.
00:21:42.840 The first ones are coming underwater now, though.
00:21:44.920 Yeah.
00:21:45.140 I mean, it's dropped the very first one.
00:21:46.420 Yeah.
00:21:46.540 But I'm just wondering who are those people?
00:21:50.380 Right.
00:21:50.900 Who?
00:21:51.240 I mean, seriously, I could you could say, well, global warming is very important to me.
00:21:55.740 And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:21:58.560 Really?
00:21:59.000 You approve of the way he's handling the presidency?
00:22:03.420 See, you don't have any credibility at all to critique anyone else if you can't say this is completely out of control.
00:22:16.160 I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime.
00:22:20.640 This is completely out of control.
00:22:23.200 And I wonder how many in the administration actually know that and kind of cheer for it.
00:22:33.600 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:38.280 Life luck.
00:22:39.160 If you think the big companies you do business with can't have data breaches because, you know, they're big companies must have amazing security all the time.
00:22:49.540 They take care of everything.
00:22:50.980 Yeah.
00:22:51.760 T-Mobile, by the way, did you hear my Patriot Mobile commercial a minute ago?
00:22:55.880 T-Mobile recently confirmed a data breach that could affect 47 million past and present customers.
00:23:02.180 Have you ever had T-Mobile?
00:23:03.220 Well, congratulations, your stuff might be on the dark web now being sold.
00:23:09.100 It's really important to understand that it's going to affect all of our lives and you can't monitor everything.
00:23:16.760 And monitoring your credit is just not enough.
00:23:19.380 Monitoring your bank statements, not enough.

00:23:53.940 Get your T-shirt and mug now at StuDoesMerch.com.
00:24:00.540 So Biden has it handled.
00:24:06.680 In fact, you know, the sycophants at ABC, I mean, they even pointed out how correct he was.
00:24:14.060 Listen to this.
00:24:14.560 Hey, your reporting early yesterday from the Kabul airport was, frankly, terrifying.
00:24:18.420 We didn't talk to you in person because you were being chased out of the airport in an armored car.
00:24:22.600 And you even had it much easier than the average Afghan, right?
00:24:25.080 So President Biden has basically said now, hey, it was a really chaotic scene four or five days ago.
00:24:30.940 He took control.
00:24:32.040 He said to make it more orderly.
00:24:33.480 From what you've been seeing, does that hold water?
00:24:36.380 It's just not true.
00:24:37.740 I mean, what has happened, what is fair to say, is that they took control of the military side of the airport.
00:24:44.100 They secured the perimeter.
00:24:45.360 They managed to move all those people we saw on the runway, those tragic scenes of people clinging on to C-17s.
00:24:50.600 But they didn't just go home.
00:24:53.620 Of course they didn't.
00:24:54.680 I mean, there are thousands and thousands of people down there.
00:24:58.960 It is a very scary, wild, and dangerous place.
00:25:04.260 Oh.
00:25:05.100 Well, other than that.
00:25:06.980 Other than that.
00:25:07.640 Just like Biden said.
00:25:08.900 I should say, I think that was Friday.
00:25:10.360 So every report says it's deteriorated since then.
00:25:13.720 So that was the high water mark of our effort here.
00:25:16.300 Of course.
00:25:16.580 Of course.
00:25:16.880 We have people on the ground now in Kabul, and it is not good.
00:25:23.740 Let me just give you a couple of things here.
00:25:29.600 I'm just reading around what I can.
00:25:31.840 Between 20,000 and 40,000 refugees are outside of the gates trying to get in.
00:25:39.100 The DOD on Saturday was not allowing anyone in.
00:25:46.040 16,000 people were stranded inside the gates at the terminal and on the tarmac waiting for flights.
00:25:56.740 The Taliban is using biometrics along the northern border to ID Afghans who worked for the coalition forces and killing them.
00:26:15.000 Now, gee, how are they getting the biometric information on those people?
00:26:19.520 That's weird, isn't it?
00:26:23.380 That's weird.
00:26:24.600 I wonder if we...
00:26:25.780 Oh, we did leave all of that information, didn't we?
00:26:29.340 Oh, yeah.
00:26:30.100 It was us again.
00:26:31.100 Shoot.
00:26:31.820 Yeah, that kind of sucks.
00:26:34.680 You know what's not being mentioned at all is that the vice president of Afghanistan did not flee the country and was saying,
00:26:42.280 Hey, I'm over here.
00:26:45.220 I...
00:26:45.620 Wait a minute.
00:26:46.620 I'm part of the government.
00:26:48.240 Trying to organize a resistance, right?
00:26:50.660 Yeah, trying to organize a government and a resistance and we're completely ignoring it.
00:26:55.540 Oh, the Taliban says.
00:26:57.860 Who cares what the Taliban says?
00:26:59.660 Did you see that the Taliban issued a red line to the United States government today?
00:27:05.320 Yeah.
00:27:05.620 A red line.
00:27:06.180 Do not cross this red line.
00:27:07.920 Or else.
00:27:08.660 Or else.
00:27:09.260 What?
00:27:09.540 Yeah.
00:27:09.940 What are we talking about here?
00:27:11.740 I know.
00:27:12.280 We lit the clip a minute ago and they're like,
00:27:14.040 Well, we were trying to deal with the Taliban requirements.
00:27:17.800 The Taliban requirements?
00:27:20.160 Who...
00:27:20.560 We're the United States of America.
00:27:22.540 They don't require things of us.
00:27:25.200 What is happening?
00:27:26.960 It's madness.
00:27:29.320 And, you know, like a few people put together an armed resistance in northern...
00:27:35.100 Some of the northern districts.
00:27:36.100 Not with any of the military equipment that we left behind.
00:27:41.000 No, the Taliban has it all.
00:27:42.180 Right.
00:27:42.640 They put together a small little resistance and drove them out of their villages.
00:27:47.400 Why aren't we doing that throughout the whole country?
00:27:49.960 Why aren't we doing that at the gates of the airport?
00:27:53.560 Right.
00:27:53.700 It is...
00:27:55.700 It is...
00:27:56.280 It's sick.
00:27:57.320 It is really sick what's happening.
00:28:01.740 By the way, CBS News, they have finally, finally given us something crystal clear that...
00:28:12.700 On who to blame for the Taliban, if you've lost your crop and your land or the Afghan government hasn't paid enough attention to you, then, of course, the Taliban can come and exploit it.
00:28:24.420 Mm-hmm.
00:28:24.920 Mm-hmm.
00:28:25.140 Um...
00:28:26.020 The, um...
00:28:27.140 They claim that climate change is partially to blame for the rise of the Taliban.
00:28:34.580 Now, when I read that first, I thought, Babylon beat, right?
00:28:38.380 No!
00:28:38.900 CBS News.
00:28:39.740 Mm-hmm.
00:28:40.200 CBS News, so...
00:28:42.200 That was a serious point, is what you're saying.
00:28:43.900 It was a serious point.
00:28:47.440 You know, if that's what, you know...
00:28:50.620 Well, the only thing you can do when the temperature rises 0.9 degrees, no matter what the cause is...
00:28:56.080 Go to the Taliban.
00:28:56.760 ...is turn to Islamists.
00:28:57.940 Yeah.
00:28:58.420 Yeah.
00:28:58.780 Yeah.
00:28:59.060 That's usually what you do.
00:28:59.860 That's pretty much what you do.
00:29:01.000 Yeah.
00:29:01.160 My crop has died.
00:29:02.160 What do I do?
00:29:03.080 Go to the Taliban.
00:29:03.980 Hey, let's go murder some girls.
00:29:05.520 Yeah.
00:29:05.800 Right.
00:29:06.200 You know what I mean?
00:29:06.760 That's the normal response.
00:29:08.200 Sharia law?
00:29:09.340 That's a good idea.
00:29:09.860 It's the only alternative to climate change.
00:29:11.440 Hey, here's another one.
00:29:12.960 I don't know if we covered this in our agreement with the Taliban, but this should have been
00:29:17.600 a big don't do this to the Taliban, one of our little red lines.
00:29:22.700 One of America's most wanted terrorists with a $5 million bounty on his head is in Kabul.
00:29:30.000 He's reappeared.
00:29:31.960 And he is now one of the Taliban leaders mapping out the future of the country.
00:29:38.740 His name is Khalil Harkhani, and he has pledged a new era for Afghanistan.
00:29:46.080 He was leading prayers for the Taliban fighters at a mosque there in Kabul.
00:29:51.280 The Harkhanis, that's, I guess, a bunch of brothers, have been blamed for some of the deadliest terror attacks across the world in recent years.
00:29:59.840 They have been designated as a foreign terrorist group by the United States and United Nations.
00:30:06.480 Despite their reputation, they are expected to be a powerful player in the new regime following the Taliban's takeover in Afghanistan.
00:30:15.360 Another key leader of the Harkhani network is Anus Harkhani.
00:30:23.240 That is a good name.
00:30:25.020 Isn't it?
00:30:25.660 Now, some might say it's pronounced Anas, but I think it's Anus Harkhani.
00:30:31.620 Uh-huh.
00:30:33.060 He was also, Anus was in the capital on Friday.
00:30:36.780 Anus runs a shadowy group.
00:30:43.840 That's not a surprise to me.
00:30:45.180 Yeah, one of the most powerful networks behind the Taliban.
00:30:50.820 And, you know, they've been on the jihad since the Soviets were in, and now they're, you know, we, the CIA, use them as an asset.
00:31:02.440 As an asset, Anus, and his group was an asset for the CIA.
00:31:09.820 That's good.
00:31:10.600 Yeah.
00:31:11.000 I'm surprised we were involved in that one, too, huh?
00:31:12.600 Yeah.
00:31:13.260 Yeah.
00:31:13.680 Wow.
00:31:14.260 Did you guys see the picture of the Taliban before and after the CIA training?
00:31:19.280 No.
00:31:19.580 You didn't see that photo?
00:31:20.400 No.
00:31:20.640 On the top was the Taliban all gathered together with their AK-47s with their fingers on the triggers.
00:31:27.400 Post-CIA, they all had the fingers off the trigger and in the safety position.
00:31:34.700 Yes.
00:31:35.920 Oh, that's good.
00:31:36.880 Oh, my God.
00:31:37.800 So, the CIA trained them not to put their fingers on the trigger unless you're going to shoot somebody.
00:31:41.660 And I think that's what they do now.
00:31:43.480 Should they have tried to train them to not shoot the nine-year-old children?
00:31:46.640 Yes, they probably should have.
00:31:47.720 I'm going to say yes on that one.
00:31:48.620 That was in the next lesson, but we needed to get out of there.
00:31:52.340 Yeah.
00:31:52.480 We needed to get out of there.
00:31:53.900 Did you see the mock of Iwo Jima?
00:31:59.100 Yeah.
00:32:00.700 You see this still?
00:32:01.900 I don't know that I did.
00:32:02.800 They have the military uniforms now?
00:32:05.020 This is them in our military uniforms and all of our assets.
00:32:10.200 This is them mocking Iwo Jima, raising the flag.
00:32:16.880 Oh, my gosh.
00:32:17.500 Is that real?
00:32:17.920 The Taliban flag.
00:32:18.560 The Taliban flag.
00:32:19.600 Yeah.
00:32:19.940 Yeah, it is.
00:32:21.440 I mean.
00:32:21.900 This is so embarrassing.
00:32:23.000 They're mocking us.
00:32:24.700 I can't believe that Twitter is still allowing them.
00:32:30.020 Facebook is still allowing them.
00:32:31.500 I mean, the Taliban has a meme department now, and they're mocking us?
00:32:37.400 I saw an article that said, how can you cancel forever the former president of the United States,
00:32:45.520 Donald Trump, but you have the Taliban leadership up there?
00:32:48.460 Well, they're following the rules of Twitter.
00:32:50.160 That's all.
00:32:50.800 They're following the rules of Twitter.
00:32:54.300 Oh.
00:32:55.540 Oh.
00:32:55.940 Oh, okay.
00:32:57.280 Huh.
00:32:57.840 All right.
00:32:58.220 Wow.
00:32:58.920 I can't.
00:32:59.840 I just don't even know how to.
00:33:00.820 Keep them up there, I guess.
00:33:02.820 Whatever.
00:33:03.620 Mm-mm.
00:33:04.440 Mm-mm.
00:33:04.880 By the way, a flashback back to 2010, a letter found in 2010 revealed that al-Qaeda targeted
00:33:17.440 President Barack Obama, but not Joe Biden, because Osama bin Laden considered Biden to
00:33:26.300 be an incompetent fool that would lead the U.S. into crisis.
00:33:31.620 What?
00:33:32.260 Where did he get that?
00:33:33.320 He had forbidden al-Qaeda from trying to assassinate Joe Biden because he considered the then vice
00:33:38.480 president to be incompetent.
00:33:39.720 It was likely to lead the U.S. into a crisis if he were to assume the presidency.
00:33:44.720 That era, Joe Biden was incompetent.
00:33:46.340 What is this era, Joe Biden?
00:33:50.120 Incontinent as well.
00:33:51.780 All right.
00:33:54.920 David versus Goliath.
00:33:56.800 Let's talk about Goliath for a moment here.
00:34:01.160 You and I both know Hollywood isn't your friend nor your family's.
00:34:05.680 Pretty obvious, no matter how good the story is.
00:34:10.840 Can you watch these shows with your kids?
00:34:14.200 It's something too violent, too coarse, too adult, whatever it is.
00:34:18.480 Let me tell you about a service called VidAngel.
00:34:21.280 VidAngel is the little rock in the slingshot.
00:34:25.100 It is a way for you to protect your home and family from the crap that Hollywood is trying
00:34:31.000 to shoehorn into its entertainment.
00:34:33.280 Basically, you set all of the filters.
00:34:36.000 So we're not asking anybody to, you know, censor anybody.

00:35:43.480 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:35:47.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:35:52.240 We're glad you're here.
00:35:53.860 Larry Elder looks like it's the real deal now in California.
00:35:58.440 He is making some real progress and one of the reasons why we think he is the absolute
00:36:03.260 real deal is they are coming after him with guns a-blazin'.
00:36:06.100 Yeah, he seems to be winning most of these polls if Gavin Newsom gets recalled.
00:36:12.060 And as of right now, Newsom seems to be a very slight favorite to remain in office.
00:36:18.440 But barely.
00:36:19.480 And again, you have to take into context.
00:36:21.860 First of all, this is California.
00:36:23.360 Second of all, he was way ahead not too long ago.
00:36:26.660 Uh, so the fact that it's close now is pretty remarkable and it's only a few points.
00:36:33.080 If the way it works, if you have the first question, do you want Gavin Newsom to stay
00:36:37.520 or not?
00:36:38.300 If no wins, then it goes to this secondary ballot, which is I think 42 candidates, something
00:36:45.520 like that.
00:36:45.960 It's dozens of candidates.
00:36:47.780 But Larry Elder seems to be the favorite out of that group.
00:36:51.060 There's a guy who used to be the mayor of San Diego, who's another Republican, who's trying
00:36:55.400 to make a run at this because he's a little bit more moderate and maybe more in the, I
00:37:02.280 don't know, maybe the Schwarzenegger winning mode.
00:37:04.960 I don't know that he would necessarily say that he's Schwarzenegger, but he's, you know,
00:37:08.160 trying to say Elder should resign because of all these things they're trying to bring
00:37:12.820 up from Elder's past.
00:37:14.140 Oh, shut up.
00:37:14.800 Now, this is typical, you know, Gavin Newsom's defense here is basically to say it's either
00:37:19.860 me or Larry Elder because Larry is obviously actually a conservative.
00:37:24.120 I mean, he's been a conservative for a really long time.
00:37:27.020 So, you know, Newsom is betting I can win this just by scaring people away from Larry
00:37:33.920 Elder.
00:37:34.200 Oh, calling him the most dangerous blackface.
00:37:41.000 I think he called him blackface for California and was going to just destroy the black neighborhoods
00:37:48.980 and black families.
00:37:50.300 And that's different.
00:37:50.940 Oh, my gosh.
00:37:52.060 Yeah, that's different than most left wing states who love their governor who has blackface.
00:37:56.780 That's usually a white person, though.
00:37:58.240 Exactly.
00:37:58.600 Yeah.
00:37:58.780 That has blackface.
00:37:59.980 That's different.
00:38:00.740 Right.
00:38:00.980 This is actually an African-American person.
00:38:04.400 They're trying to come after him.
00:38:05.720 He has a ex-fiancee that has come out and spoken out against him saying that they had
00:38:11.320 some domestic dispute in the past.
00:38:14.100 He denies it.
00:38:14.840 It's really hard to drill down to know anything about these last minute accusations in a political
00:38:19.820 campaign like this.
00:38:20.680 As we know, there's also the other thing about Larry Elder, which is why a lot of talk show
00:38:27.680 hosts don't run for public office is because even if they they're really smart and they
00:38:32.900 know a lot about the issues, they've said basically everything.
00:38:36.280 They're on the air for multiple hours a day.
00:38:38.900 So everyone can go through your old shows and try to dig out comments that don't sound
00:38:43.280 so good now as compared to when you said them.
00:38:47.160 And that's what they're trying to do to Elder as well.
00:38:49.100 They're trying to come out and say he's been insensitive to women in the past and all the
00:38:52.580 things you'd expect from Gavin Newsom and the people who surround him.
00:38:55.820 Trying to take him out of context and they don't care.
00:38:59.180 They don't really care about any of that.
00:39:01.960 No, they do not care at all.
00:39:03.000 But you can tell the difference in stance from Gavin Newsom how seriously he's taking
00:39:09.580 this.
00:39:10.320 For months, we had the guys on who are putting this together, who launched this recall and
00:39:15.920 basically were laughed at by the media, by Gavin Newsom, who ignored them completely
00:39:24.900 for months and months and months and months, assuming the blue state of California would
00:39:30.500 rescue him.
00:39:31.500 And they didn't.
00:39:32.860 In fact, they joined in a lot on the recall.
00:39:35.460 Look, you can't win a statewide election in California as a Republican with Republican
00:39:40.660 votes.
00:39:41.700 You need Democrats.
00:39:43.180 You need independents to come on board.
00:39:45.000 And people have looked at this and said, look, he's done a terrible job.
00:39:50.140 Newsom's done a bad job throughout this thing.
00:39:52.200 And then he's breaking his own rules he's subjecting us to.
00:39:56.180 And I can't believe that he is actually not going to do a debate.
00:40:01.980 I mean, it would be in his best interest to stay way away from Larry Elder because Larry
00:40:07.720 will bury him.
00:40:09.140 Well, one of the interesting parts about this is the Democrats decided to protect Newsom
00:40:14.340 by not putting a legitimate Democrat on the ballot.
00:40:17.580 If you remember Cruz Bustamante, who is like a halfway legitimately known Democrat, who was
00:40:24.000 an actual option for Democrats to vote for in the recall when Schwarzenegger was running.
00:40:28.640 They have no one.
00:40:29.560 They have like a YouTuber who's like a real estate investor is the number one Democrat.
00:40:33.420 So the Democrats don't really have anyone to line up with because they're trying to protect
00:40:39.820 Newsom.
00:40:40.300 You better vote for Newsom or you're not going to get a Democrat.
00:40:42.800 So there's a huge risk by the Democrats in California by not running someone who could
00:40:47.380 legitimately win the election.
00:40:49.960 I'm praying for Larry Elder in all ways.
00:40:53.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:40:55.900 An update from the Middle East.
00:40:58.760 The Nazarene Fund.
00:41:00.680 Next.
00:41:03.420 Let me hold off on our commercial because it is, we are, the man who is waiting is extraordinarily
00:41:13.640 busy in the middle of trying to save Christians.
00:41:17.260 Rudy is our CEO of the Nazarene Fund.
00:41:22.400 Rudy, welcome.
00:41:23.220 How are you?
00:41:24.560 Hey, thanks, Glenn.
00:41:25.520 It's good to hear your voice.
00:41:26.740 Good to hear you.
00:41:28.840 Can you give us an update?
00:41:30.240 You're on the air, by the way.
00:41:31.380 Give us an update on everything you can.
00:41:36.200 Yes.
00:41:36.980 So we're getting our first 340 passengers out as we speak.
00:41:42.300 The plane is getting ready to take off.
00:41:44.420 It's on the ground.
00:41:45.300 It's on the ground and being loaded?
00:41:48.420 Yes, it is.
00:41:49.420 Okay, good.
00:41:49.920 So that's good news.
00:41:52.520 A lot of the people that are boarding are extremely dehydrated.
00:41:55.800 We had to move aprons because the tarmac is covered in feces.
00:42:01.820 There are over 16,000 people inside the airfield.
00:42:05.520 It's an absolute mess.
00:42:06.900 The outside gate was just closed because of IED threats from ISIS.
00:42:12.500 Taliban are blocking people on the outside perimeter of the airport and not allowing them
00:42:17.720 through.
00:42:18.540 President Biden says that there's no harm coming to U.S. citizens or people that are trying
00:42:24.400 to get in, that they're not being beaten by the Taliban or anything else.
00:42:28.160 Can you?
00:42:29.540 That's completely false.
00:42:31.300 That is completely and unequivocally false.
00:42:34.040 Everything that's come out of this administration has been nothing but lies.
00:42:39.060 Right now, our biggest obstruction has not been our ability to extract people, but it's been
00:42:46.500 the U.S. State Department that's been obstructing.
00:42:49.740 We cannot get a single person in the State Department to support us on the diplomatic front.
00:42:55.120 However, right now, different countries that want to take people or have agreed to take
00:43:01.140 people are requesting diplomatic notes from the State Department that when they arrive,
00:43:06.100 you know, one, two, three will happen, and the State Department keeps telling us we will
00:43:10.360 not write any notes.
00:43:11.500 We will not give you any support whatsoever.
00:43:13.840 So we're in the middle of diplomatic wranglings trying to figure out when we go rotate people
00:43:19.240 in, rotate planes in to take them out, where we're going to take them to the next destination.
00:43:24.100 So we're in concert talking to...
00:43:26.300 We have countries that will take them.
00:43:29.260 Why is our State Department not willing to say, yes, you can move them?
00:43:33.400 They've been the biggest obstruction.
00:43:36.400 I mean, guys in DOD that I'm working with are leaning forward in the saddle to help us,
00:43:41.100 but the State Department, not a single soul in there is being helpful whatsoever.
00:43:46.000 I understand a lot of congressmen and senators are angry.
00:43:49.120 They're writing letters and they're trying to get things moving, but it's been extremely
00:43:53.700 slow.
00:43:54.540 I've never, ever in my entire life seen anything so messed up and so discombobulated.
00:44:01.140 It's just been a nightmare for us, but we're determined to get people out.
00:44:06.260 I mean, we're figuring out different angles, different ways.
00:44:09.580 The threat keeps increasing every single day for the people, not only from the different
00:44:17.000 radical groups on the ground, but we're talking about dehydrations, people who are sick with
00:44:22.360 medical conditions.
00:44:23.640 And, you know, there's no food and water, no bathrooms, like I said.
00:44:29.480 So, you know, every second I hear different stories of Air Force wanting to send planes.
00:44:35.460 They're focusing on American citizens, getting American citizens out.
00:44:39.660 But we also have the SIVs and people who helped us.
00:44:43.100 Until we clear the airfield from the inside, we can't bring people from the outside in.
00:44:47.640 And so that's the biggest dilemma right now.
00:44:50.820 So that's the part that we're trying to sell as fast as we can.
00:44:54.880 How fast is the military transport planes going in and out?
00:45:02.020 There are some planes coming in.
00:45:03.860 I heard there's going to be a fairly big rotation of military planes coming in today,
00:45:08.060 but focused on American citizens.
00:45:10.480 I have not confirmed that yet.
00:45:12.580 I'm trying to confirm it.
00:45:14.660 And I'll be jumping on some phone calls afterwards.
00:45:18.580 But it's been, I mean, the problem is, is normally when you do a non-combatant evacuation,
00:45:26.460 you put the Department of Defense in charge.
00:45:29.060 And then basically the State Department backbenchers and supports.
00:45:32.960 In this case, it's flipped around.
00:45:34.640 So the State Department is trying to run the show, and the Department of Defense is in the back, is backbenching.
00:45:40.580 That's why it's gotten so messed up.
00:45:43.320 And the State Department is providing zero support, zero help.
00:45:48.000 Are other operations outside, continuing, outside of the airport?
00:45:57.340 We're working, yes.
00:46:00.420 I mean, we're working on that diligently.
00:46:04.260 It's just, you know, the threats are so high right now and getting worse.
00:46:09.220 So, you know, without disclosing much, we're working on one piece of it.
00:46:15.200 And we're coming up with lots of different options as we focus our attention on the airport at the same time.
00:46:22.480 Okay, so do we have the first plane ready to take off here in just a few minutes?
00:46:30.380 What time should that be taking off, do you know?
00:46:33.200 I think we only have a half hour on the ground, don't we?
00:46:36.300 No, no, we have a little bit longer than the ground.
00:46:39.600 It's going to be closer to an hour and a half, two hours.
00:46:42.500 But, yeah.
00:46:44.980 Is that going to be followed by another one?
00:46:48.520 Are we in a system yet of being able to rotate them?
00:46:54.100 We have currently multiple aircraft on tap.
00:47:00.080 But we are in the middle of trying to sort out the diplomatic issue on the other end.
00:47:06.260 But we have to clear any more people coming in.
00:47:10.520 And that's all because of the State Department.
00:47:13.820 The State Department could take care of this right now.
00:47:17.040 Oh, absolutely.
00:47:17.960 But nobody's stepping forward.
00:47:20.440 I mean, we spent...
00:47:21.900 I haven't slept in three days.
00:47:23.700 It's all we've been doing is calling people and trying to get this issue sorted out.
00:47:28.720 My objective has been, you know, let's get them out of Afghanistan, wherever we take them,
00:47:34.340 and then deal with the aftermath there.
00:47:36.520 But it's, you know, it's hard when you fly a plane and then it gets diverted midair to, you know, to another place.
00:47:43.240 And then it sits on a tarmac, you know, with a bunch of passengers who are dying of dehydration in the back.
00:47:49.480 And then you make matters worse.
00:47:51.100 So, we're trying to sort that out all at the same time.
00:47:55.080 All right.
00:47:55.420 What can we do here that would help?
00:47:58.680 Should we call our senators?
00:48:00.380 Should we...
00:48:01.880 What can we do?
00:48:03.880 Call senators.
00:48:05.020 Call congressmen.
00:48:06.040 Get people to shake the State Department from the inside out and get them to provide us at least some diplomatic support where we can just go.
00:48:17.540 So, we have the assets to fly the planes, we have the people on the ground to move the people, but we just need at least countries that will take them and help us with that portion of it.
00:48:28.100 And we also, we're asking for the State Department to give these planes what?
00:48:35.000 Diplomatics?
00:48:35.800 Go ahead.
00:48:36.760 Yes.
00:48:37.020 We want them to work through our embassies in the various countries just to say, you know, they will give a diplomatic note and say, please, if you take these refugees for 10 days or whatever, you've got them and then you can rotate them out to next destination.
00:48:52.440 At least it gives us a little bit of time to work with the bigger countries, you know, Western countries that have agreed to take, you know, refugees permanently, you know, time to cycle in other aircraft that come in and take them to final destination.
00:49:05.700 Okay, good.
00:49:06.760 Thank you very much, Rudy.
00:49:08.620 And God bless you.
00:49:09.540 We are praying for you and millions are praying for all of the people involved on your team.
00:49:14.240 Thank you.
00:49:15.560 Thank you for all your support.
00:49:17.160 You bet.
00:49:17.760 Bye-bye.
00:49:19.080 Rudy Atali, he is the CEO of the Nazarene Fund.
00:49:25.080 He was on the National Security Council for Presidents Past and been in the Air Force for, I don't even know, 30 years.
00:49:35.700 And is a remarkable, remarkable man.
00:49:42.060 So here's what I'd like to do.
00:49:44.180 And if we can get one of our producers on the phone, let's get Ricky and Sarah start to man the phone.
00:49:48.680 Let's get some of these senators and congressmen that we know on the phone and on the air.
00:49:58.640 We need you to call your senators and congressmen.
00:50:03.060 There's some things that are going on that you will find out about later.
00:50:07.700 We're trying not to ruffle feathers until we can get people out.
00:50:13.880 There's no reason to finger point until we get things out.
00:50:21.140 But the State Department is a problem, is a big problem.
00:50:27.000 And we need those members of Congress to move.
00:50:32.200 This is one of the hardest, most heartbreaking things I have ever been involved in.
00:50:39.980 I get good news, and then the rug is ripped out from underneath me.
00:50:46.960 The way this is being handled is insanity, absolute insanity.
00:50:57.220 I've seen government operations, and government operations don't always go your way, but they at least will make sense.
00:51:06.180 If it's a military operation, it will at least make sense to some degree.
00:51:10.960 This makes no sense on what is going on, and we're a week into it, and they're still doing this.
00:51:19.920 We have, what is it, nine days?
00:51:21.900 Is it nine days to the 31st?
00:51:25.320 I don't even know the date today.
00:51:26.860 It's 23rd today.
00:51:28.180 Okay.
00:51:28.860 So we are running out of time, and as he's saying, it's getting worse on the ground.
00:51:35.400 They are becoming more and more emboldened, and we have to get these people out, and we have the planes on standby.
00:51:45.260 We have everything ready.
00:51:48.480 When I asked if we were doing some of the other things outside, you don't know how people are risking their lives to help people right now.
00:51:59.020 We have people that are in grave, grave danger right now, trying to get people to the airport.
00:52:08.380 You will be amazed when you hear this whole story.
00:52:13.800 But we need you to call your senators and congressmen right now.
00:52:20.140 Flood them right now and tell them we need the State Department to give diplomatic passes to the airplanes that are loaded up with these refugees to allow the UAE to take these people and hold them for 10 days until they can go someplace else.
00:52:48.220 We've already coordinated all of these other countries.
00:52:52.280 We have everything we need.
00:52:54.500 We have absolutely everything we need, except the Taliban is holding the gates and stopping us from bringing in some people.
00:53:05.180 We're working on workarounds for that.
00:53:08.340 And then the other obstacle, and these are the two, the Taliban and our State Department.
00:53:15.760 We already have everything else we need.
00:53:20.820 We have the countries where they are going to be accepted, where they'll be gladly taken.
00:53:27.240 We have places for them to hold until they go to their final destination.
00:53:33.220 We have it all.
00:53:34.120 We don't have all of the people because the Taliban, as Rudy just said, the president is lying to you.
00:53:45.080 He is lying to you.
00:53:49.140 They are beating people at the gates.
00:53:52.080 The other obstacle is our State Department.
00:53:57.640 I believe it's one and the same.
00:54:01.920 Please call your senator and your congressman right now and ask them to please clear the problems with the State Department to get these refugees out.
00:54:15.400 Okay, let me tell you a couple of our sponsors here.
00:54:20.380 I had to skip the first commercial, so give me two minutes and we're back into the show.
00:54:25.620 First, Yvonne lives in California, and she and her husband are in their 70s, and like many people their age, they were finding, you know, more and more.
00:54:34.540 They'd wake up in sunny California in pain, and then they'd go to bed still feeling it.
00:54:39.820 And desperately, they tried potential solution after potential solution, and everything let them down.
00:54:44.980 At the end of the day, they were still both in pain.
00:54:47.800 Finally, Yvonne heard about Relief Factor while listening to some clown on the radio and decided to give it a try.
00:54:56.580 What did she have to lose?
00:54:58.280 Well, Yvonne wrote to me.
00:55:00.300 She said, not too long after they both began to take it, things changed.
00:55:04.360 All of a sudden, they weren't waking up in pain anymore.
00:55:06.720 And then, they weren't going to bed in pain anymore.
00:55:10.860 She said, thanks for giving us our life back, Relief Factor.
00:55:14.240 Relief Factor is not a drug developed by doctors.
00:55:17.460 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
00:55:20.540 That three-week trial pack, you just start for three weeks.
00:55:25.260 If it's not working for you, stop taking it.
00:55:27.880 But 70% of the people go on to order more.
00:55:30.260 ReliefFactor.com.
00:55:31.280 800-500-8384.
00:55:33.120 It's ReliefFactor.com.
00:55:36.720 Also, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.
00:55:42.660 With everything that is going on in the world today.
00:55:52.180 Sorry, it just came to me how these people are living at the airport now.
00:55:59.560 And they have nothing.
00:56:01.360 They have nothing.
00:56:02.220 And they just grabbed what they could and got to the airport.
00:56:07.880 Now, they're hungry.
00:56:13.720 They don't have water.
00:56:15.380 They don't have food.
00:56:16.560 They don't have anything.
00:56:18.600 May I suggest that the things that we are seeing around the world,
00:56:23.780 I hope to God, they never get this bad.
00:56:26.920 But they are trending in that direction.

00:57:22.840 10 seconds, Station ID.
00:57:38.500 Let me give you some good news.
00:57:41.940 Allison Renaud, she is a Harvard graduate.
00:57:46.160 She has a master's degree in international relations, U.S. space policy.
00:57:51.960 She's watching the girls' robotic team.
00:57:57.100 The Afghan girls' robotic team.
00:57:59.920 And she knew she had to do something.
00:58:04.740 So she flew into Qatar just a couple of weeks ago.
00:58:10.220 She made a Hail Mary phone call to a former roommate at the U.S. Embassy there.
00:58:15.740 And said, we have to help get these girls to safety because the Taliban is advancing.
00:58:24.500 And if they get there, they're not going to, they're going to be killed.
00:58:32.320 Well, she had been in contact with the team.
00:58:35.900 The girls are 16 to 18 years old.
00:58:38.420 And she, you know, worked on the board of directors for Explore Mars and met the girls when they attended the Humans on Mars conference.
00:58:48.900 And used to, I mean, that was, that would be like a bad sci-fi convention in the past.
00:58:54.220 Now it's serious.
00:58:55.860 And so she, she talked to the girls at that time about the future of their country and how they were a shining example of how things had improved.
00:59:07.260 They were grateful to the United States, et cetera, et cetera.
00:59:12.640 She said she couldn't shake the feeling that the girls were in danger while watching news of the advancing insurgent army in early August.
00:59:19.740 The first step she took was to call Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma.
00:59:25.740 And she said the lead went cold.
00:59:29.900 Then the senator became overwhelmed with the need to help our American citizens.
00:59:34.040 So she decided to try herself.
00:59:37.260 I remembered my former roommate in D.C. a couple of years ago transferred to Qatar in the embassy.
00:59:42.980 She wrote up a request.
00:59:44.640 I got all of the passports together.
00:59:46.580 She went back to the embassy at midnight, worked all night to prepare the documents and packets for the girls.
00:59:52.160 She said it was chaotic trying to get the girls out.
00:59:55.120 We're in a sea of chaos with 8 million people and a city halfway around the world.
00:59:59.920 She said it was a very narrow window of opportunity.
01:00:03.120 She said, I knew if we didn't get out that door now and go through the door of the embassy, it wouldn't happen.
01:00:10.700 It's now or ever.
01:00:12.500 Now or never.
01:00:13.720 And she said, sometimes in life you only get one chance.
01:00:18.380 Well, she took the one chance.
01:00:21.900 After one flight was canceled, 10 girls boarded the next flight from the American side of the Kabul airport.
01:00:28.940 Uh, and, um, they were taken to a secure location here in the U S and they are going to be going to college here in the U S.
01:00:42.720 According to NBC news, they're still, she's still trying to get 25 more girls from the team to safety.
01:00:48.700 I don't know if you saw the, the women's soccer team last week.
01:00:52.780 Did you see what they had to do?
01:00:55.800 They said, delete all pictures of you in a uniform playing soccer, get rid of anything that you have, burn it, burn your uniform.
01:01:07.060 Do not have anything that connects you to the, to the, uh, to the national soccer team because women are not even allowed into stadiums.
01:01:19.080 You know, yeah, that's on the heels of the boy who 17 year old fell out of the plane, was one of the soccer players as well.
01:01:27.420 It's really incredible.
01:01:28.420 It's really incredible.
01:01:32.020 We have our borders open here.
01:01:34.840 Uh, and our state department is, is not being helpful with bringing people from Afghanistan here or anywhere else in the world.
01:01:48.480 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:01:53.180 Man, I wish, I wish getting people.

01:03:18.740 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:03:20.360 Thank you so much for listening.
01:03:22.260 We're working tirelessly here behind the scenes to make sure that we can do all that we can do because our government is not us.
01:03:34.720 I don't know when they changed entirely, but we don't leave people behind.
01:03:43.160 We don't surrender to the Taliban.
01:03:46.320 We don't take red lines from the Taliban.
01:03:49.120 That's the, they issued a red line order.
01:03:52.420 You have your people out by October 31st or else, or August 31st or else, excuse me, or else what exactly?
01:04:02.960 I mean, I, I, you want to clear the gates.
01:04:07.440 You strafe them with a couple of fighter jets.
01:04:11.900 That's it.
01:04:12.620 You don't, you don't shoot at them.
01:04:14.220 You just fly really fast, very low.
01:04:17.440 It will freak them out, but we don't do those.
01:04:23.780 We don't do those things.
01:04:26.180 There was a disturbing order, a disturbing order that was issued this weekend that you need to know.
01:04:35.880 As Biden is saying, we're not sure if we can get everybody out by the 31st, he went to the Pentagon and say, and said, fix it.
01:04:46.340 Okay, well, the Pentagon has been flying transport planes out and the transport planes are not meant to fly, you know, 400 people across the ocean.
01:05:02.940 They don't have food services, bathrooms and things like that.
01:05:06.660 So they needed airplanes.
01:05:09.340 Okay, now, what should the American president do if we needed airplanes and the military didn't have the right kind of military or right kind of airplanes for it?
01:05:24.020 What should we, what should the president of the United States do?
01:05:26.480 I mean, get, get it done without, you know, without any restrictions, get it done.
01:05:35.360 You're the president of the United States, figure it out, get new ones.
01:05:39.060 Uh, I would think that the president of the United States would call up the airlines and say, Hey, can you guys fly some planes over there?
01:05:48.340 We'll protect and, you know, we'll cover the insurance and everything else.
01:05:51.960 But can you just fly not into Kabul, but into where we're going to be dropping these people?
01:05:58.440 And then you pick them up at the airport and we'll tell you where to fly them.
01:06:02.060 And that was, there were some reports that they were trying to do some of those things.
01:06:06.680 How'd that work out?
01:06:08.300 Well, well, uh, Friday, the Pentagon, uh, said that, you know, we're probably going to order you to do this.
01:06:16.300 And then on Sunday, the, uh, Pentagon and the white house decided to use a really old law, uh, that hadn't been used for about, uh, 70 years, uh, just to, just to take the,
01:06:31.720 airplanes, they're telling them now you have to, uh, provide X number of airlines, United air, United airlines.
01:06:40.940 We need X number of planes from you Southwest.
01:06:43.800 We need planes from you.
01:06:44.920 And they're just been, they're under orders now to do it.
01:06:48.940 So private companies under the civil reserve air fleet, which was created for the Berlin airlift, uh, now are under orders.
01:07:01.100 From the United States government.
01:07:03.260 You have to surrender this many jets and personnel get over there.
01:07:09.260 I think asking them.
01:07:12.380 Would have been really good.
01:07:14.400 And I think asking them, and if they didn't do it, say, okay, well, I just want you to know, I'm going to be making a big deal out of those airlines that help.
01:07:23.640 I'm going to get on.
01:07:24.880 They would say no, they couldn't say no.
01:07:26.700 They wouldn't have said no.
01:07:29.040 So now the government has come in and forced these airlines, a private company.
01:07:35.900 This is what part of totalitarianism, uh, do we not understand what part of authoritarian fascistic kind of moves?
01:07:47.780 When does that actually apply?
01:07:51.460 Great article in the federalist this weekend about the definition of fascism.
01:07:56.940 When does it, when does it actually begin to apply?
01:08:01.680 Mussolini said fascism is everything in the state, nothing outside of the state and nothing against the state.
01:08:09.940 Okay, everything in the state, nothing outside the state.
01:08:17.280 Have you tried to talk about sports without it becoming political?
01:08:20.400 Yeah.
01:08:21.220 Have you tried to talk about school without it becoming political?
01:08:25.580 Have you tried to talk about science without it becoming political medicine, without it being political television, without it being political news, without it becoming political?
01:08:35.560 Everything in our life is now everything in the state and nothing outside of the state.
01:08:46.340 And try to say things against the state.
01:08:50.840 Nothing against the state.
01:08:54.380 We are here.
01:08:57.540 We are here.
01:08:59.960 We are at the very edge of it.
01:09:03.040 We are all doing it right now because we watch and monitor our conversations.
01:09:11.720 We realize that's I can't really say that that'll get me canceled.
01:09:20.080 Jen Jen Psaki admitted that the White House and the government is working closely with Facebook and other social media companies to identify posts that it deems objectionable.
01:09:33.040 They're back channeling with media organizations on how to handle COVID and everything else.
01:09:41.920 If they can't get it done, they're using private companies to get it done.
01:09:48.760 This is this is how it this is how it begins.
01:09:56.660 This is what it is.
01:09:58.540 The great thing is.
01:10:05.060 We are all individuals.
01:10:07.780 See, the problem is, is that our system is different than all other systems in the world.
01:10:17.460 All other systems believe that the experts and the the political elite, they know better and they'll take care of everything.
01:10:29.040 Well, they don't.
01:10:31.260 And when you have that system, there's nowhere to run because they are everything, everything in the state, nothing outside of the state.
01:10:43.060 There are no police to run to because they're the national police.
01:10:47.480 And if they go bad, what happens that you can't go to another doctor because they're the national doctors, they're the national hospitals, they're the national health administration.
01:11:03.440 And so if they say something, you can't go someplace else because they have it all.
01:11:11.420 That's the way fascism works.
01:11:15.220 They take away your ability to decide.
01:11:18.880 The way America works is each of us decide what we're going to do.
01:11:27.220 And then there becomes a market for those things that are.
01:11:33.720 In high demand.
01:11:35.660 So we all need health care.
01:11:37.940 Great.
01:11:38.340 A market comes up.
01:11:39.560 And if that becomes really abusive, if the government isn't involved, if it becomes abusive, then you can go find another market.
01:11:50.980 Somebody will start another market to beat that one.
01:11:55.120 The key is, is that we all learn this last week.
01:12:01.800 It's what we as individuals decide to do.
01:12:04.880 And if there's enough of us that decide we want to do something, we change the world.
01:12:15.080 And we come together quickly.
01:12:17.780 That's what happened last week.
01:12:19.880 The Nazarene Fund, by the way, is now up to 26, almost 27 million dollars.
01:12:25.940 And people are still giving at the Nazarene Fund dot org and Mercury One dot org.
01:12:34.880 We all came together and everyone felt helpless because the problem was too big.
01:12:41.160 But when you saw these individuals that are suffering, the individual became real to each of us.
01:12:51.960 And each of us said, I got to do something.
01:12:54.900 And all you needed was somebody that said, I got an idea.
01:13:00.540 How about we do this?
01:13:02.980 And enough people thought it was a good idea that people pledged their five dollars.
01:13:08.900 And in mass, when we choose to come together on an idea, the collection of the collective money from all of the individuals moves mountains.
01:13:26.740 When we all make a choice as individuals, our individual choices are being taken away.
01:13:37.620 And I don't see anyone else trying to grab on to an airplane to be taken to another country.
01:13:46.560 Who's who's who's who's who's who's who's trying to get into the will wheel well to get to China?
01:13:54.060 Who's climbing onto an airplane and holding on in hopes that they'll make it to Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico.
01:14:03.760 Canada.
01:14:04.360 We need to, as individuals, recognize the lies that we are allowing to happen.
01:14:17.040 And the biggest lie is that you're not powerful, that you can't get it done, that you have to wait for permission.
01:14:26.300 I got news for you.
01:14:27.420 I'm about to snap on the State Department because we're waiting for permission for them to say,
01:14:34.360 yes, these refugees can be taken in by a third country.
01:14:39.820 We're not waiting for the the permission.
01:14:44.280 The State Department has to give permission out of deference to another country.
01:14:51.140 That is already said we'll take them.
01:14:53.940 But we don't want to get into cross purposes with your State Department.
01:14:57.640 So we're waiting for them to give us permission.
01:15:01.260 That's insanity.
01:15:03.540 That's insanity.
01:15:05.800 That's how you get people killed.
01:15:08.840 Back in just a minute.

01:16:27.800 You are listening to the Glenn Beck program.
01:16:35.120 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:16:37.580 We have a podcast that came out on Saturday with Tucker Carlson.
01:16:42.720 We talked about a little bit of everything, including what the real problem is with men.
01:16:49.380 It was fascinating to hear him talk about one of the issues that we have is men are not men anymore.
01:16:57.800 And there are a lot of them like this.
01:16:59.160 Roger Wicker of Mississippi, I think he's probably a good guy.
01:17:02.360 They're weak.
01:17:03.480 There's something in them that's weak.
01:17:04.960 And they've decided, I'm not, you know, the other side is ascended.
01:17:09.060 The left is winning.
01:17:10.620 I'm not going to push any buttons that, you know, might infuriate them.
01:17:15.560 They're just they're not they're not lion hearted.
01:17:17.900 And this is a moment when you need people who aren't, you know, vicious, lashing out crazy that I hate that, but who are legitimately strong will say, here are my principles.
01:17:27.840 I will clearly articulate them for you.
01:17:29.920 And by the way, I'll die for them because that's what principles are.
01:17:32.500 You know, real principles, not BS.
01:17:34.360 You know, this is the tax rate I want.
01:17:35.580 But like people should be allowed to say what they really believe.
01:17:38.220 That's called freedom of speech is guaranteed in the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
01:17:41.560 That's a non-negotiable point, period.
01:17:44.200 Someone who will do that.
01:17:45.380 And they're like none of them.
01:17:46.980 The only ones who will do it are women.
01:17:49.240 And that has a lot of consequences.
01:17:52.180 For one thing, it drives the women crazy.
01:17:53.780 A lot of really angry women right now, you notice.
01:17:56.760 And I think a lot of them are angry because their men are weak.
01:18:00.840 I do think that.
01:18:01.960 I mean, I don't think that.
01:18:02.900 I know that.
01:18:04.280 And I've been married to the same woman for 30 years.
01:18:06.860 And if you want to make her mad, you know, weak men.
01:18:09.540 This is true for a lot of I have three daughters.
01:18:11.400 I see this.
01:18:11.840 I see this all the time.
01:18:12.600 Weak men make them mad because it's it's wrong.
01:18:16.820 And this is like basic and human.
01:18:19.740 You know, all the true basic human things are the one of the things we're not allowed to talk about.
01:18:23.640 Yeah.
01:18:24.120 We can like talk about our dumb theories.
01:18:26.440 But the way that people really are nature, nature itself is so offensive to our leaders because it challenges their totally unnatural program.
01:18:36.120 There's nothing less natural than neoliberalism.
01:18:38.440 It's an assault on nature.
01:18:39.640 It's a denial of nature.
01:18:40.600 But at its core, nature is about sex differences.
01:18:45.860 Men and women are different.
01:18:48.200 Does and stags are different.
01:18:50.900 Their difference is the central fact of the natural world.
01:18:55.840 And if something falls out of balance in that relationship between male and female, everything else is affected by it.
01:19:06.440 Everything.
01:19:06.900 And so at the core of the volatility and the craziness and the too rapid to digest change that's going on is this weird lack of balance between men and women.
01:19:18.520 And I think it's physiological.
01:19:20.020 I don't think this is not just a cultural phenomenon.
01:19:22.900 You know, the massive increase in trans identifying kids.
01:19:28.240 It's not just a result of propaganda from the schools.
01:19:31.980 And that's part of it.
01:19:33.140 But it's it's bigger than that.
01:19:34.720 This has never happened in human history in all human history.
01:19:37.760 This has never happened.
01:19:39.160 So that's a red flag right there.
01:19:40.740 What the hell is this?
01:19:41.560 Now, you can be totally for it or you can be totally opposed.
01:19:44.680 It doesn't even matter how you feel about it.
01:19:46.620 As a phenomenon, it's worth studying what is going on.
01:19:51.200 And it's the one thing that nobody mentions.
01:19:54.500 And I just have noticed this.
01:19:56.220 I mean, just like empirically just around me.
01:19:58.300 And I'm hardly a genius and I'm not a scientist.
01:20:00.720 But this is so obvious.
01:20:02.440 You'd have to be a liar to ignore it.
01:20:05.040 And we should not ignore it.
01:20:08.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:14.680 Hello, America, and welcome to Monday.
01:20:17.280 A lot to report on.
01:20:18.960 We go to what is happening on the ground in Afghanistan in 60 seconds.
01:20:30.920 I want you to know that not all real estate agents are exactly the same.
01:20:37.380 You know, imagine a real estate agent comes to the door, comes in, sits down with you.
01:20:42.300 You talk for a little bit about the house, what your goals are, what's realistic, what's
01:20:46.120 not, all of that.
01:20:47.560 Then he pulls out his phone and a piece of paper and pulls up the names of every single
01:20:51.560 person that you're going to need to get the job done, done right.
01:20:55.960 And he writes them all down for you.
01:20:58.600 He even says, you know what, I'm going to call a couple of these myself.
01:21:02.940 Make sure that they come over and get this done.
01:21:05.940 You realize, not for the last time in the process, you didn't just get a real estate agent.
01:21:11.120 You've got to partner, somebody who is partnering with you to sell your home all the way through
01:21:17.060 to the end to get the best possible outcome.
01:21:20.860 That's what we envision happening and we know happens every day with our real estate agents
01:21:27.660 at realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:21:30.100 They're not people that work for us.
01:21:31.940 These are people that we have found, we have monitored, we have looked for the best track
01:21:37.520 records in the area and we recommend them to you.
01:21:41.200 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:21:43.240 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:21:52.760 Saber Nasiri is known by a lot of people as Saber Rock.
01:21:56.320 He is an Afghan interpreter and now his family is being hunted by the Taliban because he was
01:22:07.840 such a hero in helping the U.S.
01:22:11.420 Saber, welcome to the program.
01:22:13.980 Good morning, everybody.
01:22:15.420 And thank you so much, sir.
01:22:17.060 How are you?
01:22:18.120 I'm 50% okay because I never give up.
01:22:24.040 Even I lost my fingers in the war.
01:22:26.680 Even I was on a front line.
01:22:30.280 But I know my family, they're hunting right now in Afghanistan and they have not been saved yet.
01:22:38.160 And the Taliban, they're looking at my family around the airport of Kabul airport.
01:22:45.700 But I never lose hope.
01:22:49.160 I just kindly ask everyone to pray for me and we can save them.
01:22:54.700 So if you don't know what happened to Saber, he was one of the lead guys early on in the war
01:23:03.900 in the Helmand province, which was one of the most violent regions in the area.
01:23:10.340 And they had to drive a wedge between the Afghani villagers and the Taliban.
01:23:15.900 And all of the communication then would be driven right through rock, if you will, Saber rock.
01:23:26.220 And it ended up really, really, really well.
01:23:31.620 They were doing a documentary film of it at the time.
01:23:35.200 And because of that, he had a $300,000 bounty on his head.
01:23:41.660 And your family now, some of the family has gotten out and are in Dubai.
01:23:51.500 And we don't want to identify the family at all.
01:23:54.460 But you have other members of your family that you're trying to get out.
01:23:59.600 And you say they're at the gates of the base?
01:24:04.880 Yes.
01:24:05.720 I cannot share the location right now.
01:24:08.660 But there around the airport, you know, I'm a little bit sad.
01:24:14.160 It becomes three weeks.
01:24:15.280 I couldn't sleep good.
01:24:16.920 And 24 hours, I sleep one hour because I don't feel, you know, happy.
01:24:24.020 I'm very upset.
01:24:24.960 I cannot eat because my heart and this pain is from my heart.
01:24:30.440 You know why?
01:24:31.600 Because I fought for this country.
01:24:33.280 I'm an American citizen, and I sacrificed for this country.
01:24:38.840 They even made a documentary movie about me that I won an Emmy Award, Hollywood Award.
01:24:45.820 And now, Mr. Joe Biden, that I respect and like him, I know one day he will change Afghanistan.
01:24:57.980 I know one day he will listen to the people of Afghanistan.
01:25:01.560 But unfortunately, he broke my heart.
01:25:06.340 Mr. Joe Biden broke my heart because he left my family behind.
01:25:12.620 He left the other allies behind.
01:25:15.300 And so, you know, some of the military force, military retire, like Colonel Mark DeVito, Mr. Brad Park, CEO of Hollywood Film Festival, and Nancy Rebord, especially Lucas Rob Brothers, that they made the movie about me.
01:25:39.160 And also, Congressman Chris Smith, Green Barrett, Jerry Torres, they all retire, Army and military forces.
01:25:48.760 They are helping me.
01:25:50.640 But Joe Biden, Mr. Joe Biden didn't.
01:25:55.860 Mr. Joe Biden is supposed to support and save my family.
01:25:59.720 He says that he says that the Taliban is not beating people.
01:26:06.680 It's it's not they're abiding by, you know, the way they should behave in international law.
01:26:13.320 Any comment on on trusting the Taliban and what's really happening on the ground?
01:26:19.160 Whatever he said, that maybe he mentioned to the social media, but I will show I will give you proof that the Taliban, they are looking for those people who serve for U.S. government, who serve for like a general colonel.
01:26:37.140 They are searching every single houses.
01:26:39.200 They beat a lot of people.
01:26:40.460 They they they they tell my family members, they beat my brothers, both brothers that they are in Dubai right now.
01:26:49.160 His name is Raheem Ahmadi, Maher Nasseri.
01:26:54.020 So they're beating everyone that I have proof.
01:26:57.860 You know, the people of Afghanistan want peace and democracy without interfere of foreigners.
01:27:06.200 But people of Afghanistan said we want majority people of Afghanistan said we want America.
01:27:14.100 We want United States forces to stay in Afghanistan for good.
01:27:19.160 If not, at least they're going to stay for 50 years because United States military there and other countries for 17 years.
01:27:30.560 Why they're lifting us behind with our we didn't do anything.
01:27:36.440 So the voice is the voice or from people of Afghanistan, the innocent people of Afghanistan.
01:27:42.560 Now, look, a lot of people, they are leaving Afghanistan.
01:27:47.060 What does it mean?
01:27:47.780 It means they don't like Taliban, majority of people of Afghanistan, majority means 99 percent of people of Afghanistan.
01:27:56.640 They don't like Taliban.
01:27:58.460 Then they are kindly requesting from Mr. Joe Biden.
01:28:02.120 Mr. Joe Biden can change everything, can save all people of Afghanistan as he can.
01:28:09.000 So they are kindly requesting, please, Mr. Joe Biden, save us from beast, save us from animals, Taliban or animals.
01:28:18.860 So let me ask you this, the Taliban army did not stop the Taliban.
01:28:27.960 The Afghani army did not stand up to the Taliban.
01:28:31.700 But we're seeing now all throughout the country, these citizens in towns all over the country standing up and kicking them out of the area.
01:28:42.380 What is what happened to the army?
01:28:44.640 What happened to, you know, your president?
01:28:47.280 Good. Thank you so much that you brought that.
01:28:51.640 I graduated from political science in Afghanistan, and I'm an expert about Afghanistan.
01:28:56.760 I travel all over Afghanistan.
01:28:58.700 So it means that I'm telling you the truth.
01:29:02.220 So majority of right now, majority of U.S. Afghan army, ANA, Afghan National Army, they are trying to join Mr. Ahmad, Mr. Ahmad, which is he is the son of the leader of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Massoud, killed by Taliban.
01:29:24.700 He was the hero and champion.
01:29:27.180 Now they start because 95 percent of Afghanistan covered by Taliban.
01:29:33.180 Five percent, which is Panjshir province and some of the province in the north, they are under control of Mujahideen.
01:29:42.820 They are under control of the people who beat the Russia, who beat the China, who beat the England, who beat the Pakistan and India, whatever.
01:29:54.240 But what happened was that the manager, the so-called president, Mr. Ashraf Ghani, he elected by U.S. government.
01:30:07.880 He elected by president of the United States, whatever it was.
01:30:11.360 He was the proud briber and fascist president we ever had.
01:30:19.800 He was the hated president of Afghanistan.
01:30:24.680 So then the Taliban, they became strong.
01:30:28.820 Why?
01:30:29.520 Because Mr. Ashraf Ghani was supporting Taliban under table.
01:30:36.540 And Mr. Ashraf Ghani released a lot of Taliban.
01:30:40.400 Mr. Ashraf Ghani brought the representative of Taliban on the table.
01:30:48.380 Taliban was lost the war.
01:30:52.340 America won the war.
01:30:54.540 But Hamid Karzai, Ashraf Ghani, they support Taliban.
01:30:59.780 You know, the Taliban, they didn't expect that they get all province of Afghanistan like a water.
01:31:06.560 Why?
01:31:07.640 Because Mr. Ashraf Ghani called every corps.
01:31:12.280 We have 11 corps in Afghanistan.
01:31:16.260 They call and they said, leave all your corps, all your battalion for Taliban.
01:31:22.240 But the army, our army, Afghanistan army, they said, we can fight.
01:31:28.700 We have tanks, we have helicopter, we have ammunition, and we have everything.
01:31:35.260 But Karzai and also Ashraf Ghani said, no, leave it, leave it to them.
01:31:42.500 That's why we lost Afghanistan.
01:31:45.680 The problem, majority of people of Afghanistan said, if we see Ashraf Ghani anywhere,
01:31:53.340 we will not leave him alone.
01:31:56.820 They are very, very, very upset from Afghanistan.
01:32:00.340 So when he left, because he apparently left with his family and his gold and everything else,
01:32:07.580 it was kind of, it looked as though he was leaving because of the Taliban.
01:32:14.120 He wasn't, according to you.
01:32:15.780 So he's, he's leaving because the people were angry with him?
01:32:21.180 Correct.
01:32:22.060 He left Afghanistan for two reasons.
01:32:24.960 Number one, he stole $50 million, $1,000.
01:32:30.920 Even he didn't took $5 million with him.
01:32:34.840 He gave him to the PPS.
01:32:36.640 The reason why he left, because the people was angry on him.
01:32:40.480 Number two, he left because of the money.
01:32:43.120 He stole the money.
01:32:44.500 He got it.
01:32:45.260 He, you know, there was a three guy, three person control all Afghanistan.
01:32:51.940 Number one, Ashraf Ghani.
01:32:53.400 Number two, Dr. Mohib, which is, he was not a doctor.
01:32:57.580 He was a nurse.
01:32:58.580 And there was another guy, Fazli, Mr. Fazli.
01:33:02.000 These three gentlemen cover all Afghanistan.
01:33:05.660 That's why the Taliban became upset.
01:33:07.980 The people of Afghanistan became upset.
01:33:10.320 They said, it's better.
01:33:11.420 The people of Afghanistan said, it's better that we can leave Afghanistan because these three gentlemen sold every single mine to the neighbors.
01:33:22.120 But he had, they have three, they have two faces.
01:33:26.580 Number one, the first face is just polishers.
01:33:31.140 I'm sorry to say that he polished everybody.
01:33:34.000 He, you know, he showed his sympathy to the people.
01:33:39.880 But the other face was just selling our country, our people, our army, our tanks to the enemies of the human being.
01:33:53.080 Right, including, including China, right?
01:33:56.380 That's where the, that's where the mines went.
01:33:59.300 Of course.
01:34:00.480 The copper mine from east of Afghanistan, Ahmed Karzai sold it before, then Ashraf Ghani sold it.
01:34:07.200 But they sold it and they act on the table, not on the table.
01:34:12.080 And I'm sorry if you say that kindly, I'm requesting from Mr. Joe Biden, please follow and emphasize Mr. Ashraf Ghani.
01:34:27.580 He is, he, you know, we won the war.
01:34:30.720 I'm a U.S. citizen.
01:34:32.400 United States won the war.
01:34:34.580 But now Taliban, they got celebration, they got party, they said we beat Russia, we beat America.
01:34:43.580 It's not true.
01:34:45.280 It's not true.
01:34:46.560 If United States want to win the war or jump back, they, we have one link.
01:34:54.140 We have a big unit right now.
01:34:56.740 They are located in north of Afghanistan.
01:35:00.200 We call Panjshir province.
01:35:01.720 We, the Panjshir leader, Mr. Ahmad, son of Ahmad Shah Massoud, champion of Afghanistan, you can just Google it.
01:35:12.480 He said we have 200 units, 200 special forces units, and the Taliban, they scared from them.
01:35:22.160 Yesterday, Taliban lost three villages and five cities.
01:35:28.520 So, Croatia has started, the people, the northern people, northern line people said, we don't need support of United States now.
01:35:41.500 If the United States want to support us, we are kindly requesting and welcoming American forces.
01:35:48.680 We don't need military persons.
01:35:51.460 We need our nation.
01:35:52.980 We need air support.
01:35:54.380 Then, we promise, in one year, we will get all Afghanistan.
01:36:00.660 We promise that.
01:36:01.980 So, we have a strong unit now.
01:36:03.980 Saber, I appreciate the insight on this, and I do hope that we change our tactics here,
01:36:12.960 because we are just abandoning our friends and so many women and so many little girls and children from having a safe future and a future of freedom.
01:36:26.580 Saber Nasseri, thank you very much.
01:36:28.500 Our best to you.
01:36:29.760 We will pray for your family, and we will do all we can to make sure that your family is with you here as an American citizen.
01:36:39.800 God bless you.
01:36:40.360 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:36:42.940 It's Goldline.
01:36:45.160 Palantir did something this week that went mostly unnoticed.
01:36:50.600 Now, this company, because they're hedging against what they say is a black swan event, they just bought $50 million in physical gold.
01:37:01.680 Now, wait a minute.
01:37:04.980 Why?
01:37:06.660 Well, you have to understand that Palantir is one of the foremost expert companies on data, analytics, and forecasting.
01:37:15.900 They're used by hedge funds, banks, financial firms, including Morgan Stanley, Merck, Airbus, Fiat, Chrysler.
01:37:24.760 The United States intelligence community uses these people.
01:37:28.200 And they just loaded up with $50 million in physical gold.
01:37:35.780 Huh.
01:37:37.480 Does that say anything to anyone?
01:37:40.680 Why would a company whose sole purpose is to essentially predict the future suddenly feel the need to do that?
01:37:46.780 That's a bigger story than anybody is reporting on.
01:37:51.100 Goldline wants to know, is gold or silver right for you and your family?
01:37:56.680 Why?
01:37:57.260 Do your own homework.
01:37:58.180 Why did Palantir do this last week?
01:38:02.380 While supplies last, they have extended their free silver bar offer to the end of this week.
01:38:07.520 With any and all qualifying orders, you'll receive the bar at no cost.
01:38:11.660 866-GOLD-LINE.
01:38:13.240 That's 866-GOLD-LINE or goldline.com.
01:38:17.860 10 seconds.
01:38:18.540 Station ID.
01:38:28.180 One of the more amazing things about watching this Afghanistan situation just collapse and crumble
01:38:39.620 is how many people there are, thousands like him, who are out there helping us over multiple decades.
01:38:49.020 Think of the risk you're taking when you have a group of people who are still active, by the way.
01:38:54.540 But see, this is the problem, is that, you know, people have always known America as one thing.
01:39:04.620 You can say that we meddle in other people's businesses.
01:39:07.840 You can say a lot of things.
01:39:09.180 But the military never leaves anyone behind.
01:39:14.960 Certainly not American citizens.
01:39:16.760 Right.
01:39:17.340 And also those that have been helping, and we promise.
01:39:20.620 I mean, the problem is, is these people didn't necessarily know if they could trust us.
01:39:25.840 But our soldiers made bonds with these people.
01:39:28.760 Oh, yeah.
01:39:28.920 It's our military that are vouching for these guys.
01:39:31.360 Yeah.
01:39:31.560 That's what's important.
01:39:32.760 Right.
01:39:33.020 And it's our soldiers that are.
01:39:34.880 They're the ones that are with them.
01:39:36.420 And they're like, yeah, trust us.
01:39:38.480 Trust us.
01:39:39.120 These guys are legit.
01:39:40.260 Yes.
01:39:40.720 Yeah.
01:39:41.020 Can you answer this criticism, I guess?
01:39:43.900 I hear from some on the right, which are saying, here we go.
01:39:48.460 We got this situation's deteriorating.
01:39:51.320 Now you want to raise money to pull a bunch of unvetted people out and bring them to America?
01:39:57.480 There's this criticism I see.
01:39:59.180 Well, no, I'm not for bringing unvetted anyone to America.
01:40:02.940 That's not what the Nazarene Fund is doing.
01:40:04.860 No.
01:40:05.000 It's important to note.
01:40:05.920 No.
01:40:06.260 We know who these people are.
01:40:08.760 And by the way, they're not coming to America.
01:40:10.860 Right.
01:40:11.240 So not only are they not unvetted, they're not coming to America.
01:40:14.120 Yeah.
01:40:14.500 So nobody that we're bringing are coming.
01:40:17.080 We will be responsible for no one coming to America.
01:40:21.100 Okay.
01:40:21.280 They're coming to other countries, but none of them will be coming to America.
01:40:26.480 You know, the way to vet people is not in a hurry like the federal government is doing now at the gate with thousands pushing behind you.
01:40:37.040 You're going to get the wrong people and you're going to get the you're going to leave.
01:40:40.860 Some of the right people behind.
01:40:42.380 So even there, they're not bringing them like directly to the United States.
01:40:45.400 No.
01:40:45.620 The people that are not that they're bringing them to someplace safe where they can sort it out.
01:40:49.080 Correct.
01:40:49.760 Correct.
01:40:50.060 That's the thought.
01:40:50.600 And and those people who really did serve the United States should be taking care of them and their families.
01:40:59.360 They they were investing in us and we invested in them.
01:41:05.080 They should get the benefit of coming here.
01:41:10.860 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:41:14.900 American financing NMLS 1-82334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
01:41:21.420 I just wonder why these are the wrong.
01:41:24.060 You know, why why these people have to be vetted and everybody at the border doesn't have to be.
01:41:29.860 Why American citizens have to pay for their airfare.
01:41:32.760 But people who are coming across the border, they're fine.
01:41:36.480 The government will pay for all of that.
01:41:39.140 America is starting to change and it's changing from the inside out.
01:41:42.460 And it's not a good change.
01:41:44.240 But there is there is another part of America that is standing true to what we once knew.
01:41:50.880 Uh, and while the ground gets shakier.
01:41:57.920 We have to find that solid ground, that solid ground and that solid ground is responsibility, fiscal responsibility, spiritual responsibility.

01:42:36.980 You know, I think we come up with a new standard on this program.
01:42:47.440 Uh, things you can't prove are incorrect.
01:42:53.400 That's our standard of evidence.
01:42:54.800 Well, I think that's the, I mean, that's the media standard of evidence.
01:42:57.820 You know what I mean?
01:42:58.940 Yeah.
01:42:59.220 Well, you can't prove that that's incorrect.
01:43:03.580 You can't prove Donald Trump didn't get peed on by prostitutes in Russia.
01:43:07.920 So let's report it.
01:43:09.220 Right.
01:43:09.520 You can't prove it's not true.
01:43:11.500 Well, I guess.
01:43:12.840 And I suppose we weren't with him every second of every day.
01:43:15.300 Because there's this great story about the word testament and, uh, and testament is, I look
01:43:23.360 at, uh, testament or testimony, uh, as, uh, the first part of the word test and everybody
01:43:29.780 wants the amoni part, but you don't want the test.
01:43:33.680 And the only way you can testify to something true is if you've really been thrown up against
01:43:37.980 the wall, if you've been tested and you test it yourself, um, uh, but there's a, there's
01:43:44.040 a great story is looking up the word, uh, testament and seeing the origins.
01:43:48.620 There's a story that you can't prove it isn't true that the Romans used to put their, uh, hand
01:43:58.800 on their, uh, man parts, uh, to, instead of the Bible, obviously to tell the truth, whole
01:44:07.160 truth, another, but the truth.
01:44:08.340 And that was their testimony because, uh, a man's fertility was so important to the men
01:44:17.020 in ancient Rome.
01:44:17.680 That's where that's your honor.
01:44:19.220 That's what made you a man.
01:44:21.900 Uh, and that's why women couldn't share their testimony because they didn't have to test,
01:44:27.260 test, test, test, testicles.
01:44:30.000 So what a, what a crazy era that was.
01:44:32.520 I mean, imagine going back to a time where gender had something to do with your private
01:44:36.900 parts.
01:44:37.720 Yeah.
01:44:41.080 That's crazy talk.
01:44:43.040 And again, uh, just a little fact you can't prove isn't true.
01:44:50.080 It's a good story.
01:44:51.200 It's a good story.
01:44:52.000 It's a very good story.
01:44:52.580 I don't know that it's accurate.
01:44:53.680 Well, were we there in ancient Rome?
01:44:55.900 No, no.
01:44:56.720 Look it up.
01:44:57.180 I wasn't even there.
01:44:58.000 They say you can't prove it or disprove.
01:45:00.100 Yeah.
01:45:00.240 There's a lot of weak.
01:45:01.560 There's no evidence that this is true, but then why are you reporting on it?
01:45:07.980 Why are you reporting on it?
01:45:09.060 Ask every mainstream media source.
01:45:11.360 There's no evidence.
01:45:12.640 These things, you know, here's something else that, uh, you can't prove isn't true.
01:45:18.660 Uh, you know, people were comparing Afghanistan to Saigon in 1975 and they're saying, oh, it's
01:45:26.580 like, this is just like, this is just like Saigon.
01:45:29.800 Look at what's going on.
01:45:30.980 By the way, did you see the picture of, uh, of, uh, Kamala given the see you later salute,
01:45:37.020 uh, on the, on the plane, on the tarmac as she's going to Vietnam this weekend?
01:45:43.780 And she left for Vietnam.
01:45:45.660 Incredible.
01:45:46.640 By the way, you know, I, I'm not as good on my history of Vietnam as some other wars that
01:45:52.980 I've read too much about.
01:45:53.940 Right.
01:45:54.120 But like, didn't we have everyone out of Saigon like a month before?
01:45:58.660 So listen, it's so much worse.
01:46:01.680 You know, the, you know, the helicopter, the photo of the helicopter on the roof of the
01:46:05.220 U.S.
01:46:05.560 Embassy in Saigon, line of people on the stairs trying to get on board.
01:46:09.680 Well, that's not the embassy.
01:46:12.460 Okay.
01:46:12.980 That picture is not the embassy.
01:46:14.860 Everything you think of that you thought you knew about that photo is wrong.
01:46:19.680 And I'll get back to it here in a minute.
01:46:22.020 Last week, Lloyd Austin, our U.S. Secretary of Defense said, we don't have the capability
01:46:28.400 to go out and collect large numbers of people.
01:46:31.660 And my response is, what?
01:46:35.380 Since when?
01:46:37.640 That's something you guys should have told us about a long time ago.
01:46:41.180 You've been able to go around the country and collect people that kept their businesses
01:46:43.940 open and throw them in prison.
01:46:45.620 That's really bad.
01:46:46.520 This is insane from the head of the Pentagon, but it's interesting that they don't think
01:46:53.620 they have the capability to go out and rescue large numbers of people because back in 1975
01:47:00.180 in Saigon, we did.
01:47:03.860 As the city of Da Nang fell to the communists in 1975, the writing was on the wall for the
01:47:10.080 U.S. in Vietnam.
01:47:11.120 So, on April 2nd of 1975, during a State Department meeting, the Secretary of State,
01:47:18.720 Henry Kissinger, said it was America's duty, quote, to get the people who believed in us
01:47:25.580 out.
01:47:26.780 Now, that's a crazy statement, right?
01:47:28.700 Yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me.
01:47:30.160 Doesn't make any sense.
01:47:30.980 That's a time when people...
01:47:32.220 Sounds dumb.
01:47:33.320 No, there was, you know...
01:47:34.580 They claimed there was differences between men and women.
01:47:37.200 Oh, my gosh.
01:47:37.980 Remember those days.
01:47:38.840 Oh, my gosh.
01:47:39.500 They don't come back.
01:47:40.600 So, anyway, the U.S. made a list of Vietnamese officials, the translators, and others who
01:47:45.000 would be evacuated and resettled here in the U.S.
01:47:49.120 By the end of April 1975, the North Vietnamese troops were surrounding Saigon.
01:47:56.760 They attacked the Saigon's airport.
01:47:59.920 They ruined all the runways, which made any large-scale airplane evacuation impossible.
01:48:06.540 So, what do we do?
01:48:07.700 Well, we...
01:48:10.420 They didn't say, hey, all you people, try to get to the airport.
01:48:17.380 Hey, you know what you should do?
01:48:20.380 You should go to one central location where all these people are ready to kill you.
01:48:26.820 No, they didn't.
01:48:27.500 They chose 13 helicopter landing sites across Saigon.
01:48:33.020 13.
01:48:34.220 They got 81 Marine, Air Force, and Air America helicopters to fly people out of the city onto
01:48:43.520 ships right off the coast.
01:48:45.760 So, somehow or another, they found 81 giant helicopters, and they said, here are the 13 different
01:48:56.420 landing sites.
01:48:57.820 Get here.
01:48:59.100 So, in the morning of April 29th, American Forces Radio, it's almost like they planned
01:49:05.340 this out.
01:49:06.100 Almost.
01:49:07.160 They played Bing Crosby's White Christmas.
01:49:10.280 It's April 29th.
01:49:11.380 So, American Forces Radio played White Christmas and said, oh, it's crazy.
01:49:17.760 The temperature is 105 degrees and rising.
01:49:20.900 Which everyone knew who was in the know, that's the signal.
01:49:27.200 We're going now.
01:49:29.260 Get to your location.
01:49:31.580 So, all the Americans and the Vietnamese that were on the official list, they went to the
01:49:37.240 helicopter landing sites.
01:49:39.000 Many of them were on top of buildings.
01:49:42.580 One of the Air America helicopters was manned by a CIA operative named Obi Hardage.
01:49:51.280 He wore an eye patch because he was in World War II, and he lost me eye.
01:49:57.060 And he had to make room for 20 people on each flight.
01:50:01.280 And he rode standing on the helicopter skid while holding on to his machine gun.
01:50:07.440 He was supposed to load the VIPs first, but he boarded people on a first-come, first-served
01:50:12.940 basis, including Vietnamese children with notes pinned to their clothes that said, my son wants
01:50:19.300 to be a doctor.
01:50:20.900 He's the guy, Harnage, is the guy on the top of the stairs in that famous photo on top
01:50:31.240 of the building, reaching out his hand to help people get on board.
01:50:35.340 It wasn't the U.S. Embassy.
01:50:38.560 It was an apartment building.
01:50:42.500 And it wasn't the very last flight out.
01:50:46.560 The 81 U.S. helicopters continued their flights throughout the night.
01:50:51.680 It was an operation called Frequent Wind.
01:50:54.400 They rescued 1,373 Americans and 6,000 Vietnamese in less than 24 hours.
01:51:07.000 We're flying giant transport planes, some of them half full.
01:51:15.960 That was then, in 24 hours, we got about 7,000 or 8,000 people out.
01:51:26.900 It's almost like we planned it in advance.
01:51:28.880 It was weird.
01:51:29.300 We were just making it up on the fly.
01:51:30.760 Right, right.
01:51:33.500 Now, the Biden administration doesn't even know, doesn't even know the number of Americans
01:51:39.800 that are stranded in Afghanistan.
01:51:41.900 Anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000, it can't ensure their safe passage to the airport.
01:51:50.780 Yet, 46 years ago, 81 helicopters managed to rescue 7,000 people from Saigon in a day.
01:51:58.200 Wow, that's weird, isn't it?
01:52:00.640 I just saw a briefing with the Pentagon.
01:52:03.400 Correct me if I'm wrong, Stu.
01:52:04.660 The quote was, we think we've gotten about 6,000 people out.
01:52:15.040 We think?
01:52:17.980 I mean, is there nobody to count how many people you're putting onto the plane?
01:52:23.100 I mean, it's like a two-hour flight.
01:52:25.200 There's nobody going, all right, everybody, count off.
01:52:29.740 You're number one.
01:52:30.840 Start.
01:52:31.220 There's nobody that can take a picture and say, you think?
01:52:37.460 And we think we're not going to need more time?
01:52:41.840 You know, they keep using that word.
01:52:44.580 I do not think it means what they think it means.
01:52:47.600 I don't think anyone involved in the Kabul airport is using that word properly.
01:52:54.360 I don't think they're thinking.
01:52:57.760 Joseph lives in Pennsylvania.
01:53:02.020 He writes in about how rough greens affected his dog's life and his own.
01:53:05.460 He says, my beagle is 17 years old.
01:53:08.340 He was sleeping 20 hours a day.
01:53:11.240 That's so sad.
01:53:13.500 He said, I was afraid that he was going to die soon.
01:53:16.700 I put some rough greens on his food.
01:53:19.320 20 days later, I am amazed.
01:53:21.980 He's wagging his tail again.
01:53:24.720 I know he's happier.
01:53:26.120 His food and rough greens are gone every day.
01:53:28.440 He's eating well, and he's much more active.
01:53:31.540 I'm amazed by rough greens, and I appreciate getting my buddy back again.
01:53:36.500 Thanks.
01:53:37.960 Man, Joe, thank you so much for writing in, and I'm glad your beagle is doing really well.
01:53:44.280 Well, it's great to see our friends last longer and be happier and be healthier.

01:54:16.960 Okay, you know, some days I just, I mean, I can't work with Stu.
01:54:24.640 I just can't work with him.
01:54:26.120 First of all, he questions off the air.
01:54:28.360 I'm just telling him a little story that you can't prove isn't true about Rome and the ancient Romans,
01:54:34.320 how they used to put their hands, like Michael Jackson, on their crotch,
01:54:37.860 and then that's them swearing their testimony.
01:54:40.660 And look it up.
01:54:42.920 You can't prove that it's not true.
01:54:45.440 Can't prove it's true, but you can't prove it's not true.
01:54:48.380 He's questioning me on that.
01:54:49.560 And then I get into the commercial break.
01:54:51.860 I finished my commercial and he's like, what date was that Saigon story?
01:54:55.640 And I said, I don't know, April 1975.
01:54:58.620 Why?
01:54:58.800 And he's saying, well, because we did a lot more than, yeah, I wasn't telling the whole story of the Vietnam War and exit.
01:55:08.580 I was telling the story of one operation on one day, Stu.
01:55:12.440 Yeah, I was just interested because what I had read recently through all of this was that we did a lot of work before that last effort.
01:55:22.700 Yeah, that last effort.
01:55:24.240 Right.
01:55:24.480 So I'm not questioning whether you should have told the story,
01:55:26.640 but I was questioning whether I understood the actual truth of this.
01:55:30.560 And the answer is no.
01:55:31.880 Well, the truth of this seems to be that unlike this operation in Afghanistan,
01:55:37.320 we had done the bulk of the work in the month preceding the fall of Saigon.
01:55:44.820 Yes.
01:55:45.440 Over 100,000 people evacuated.
01:55:48.200 And then the last few people were involved in the story that you just talked about, the last several thousand.
01:55:54.580 Yeah.
01:55:54.960 And it wasn't even supposed to be several thousand.
01:55:57.400 It ended up being about 7,000 people in 24 hours that we evacuated with 81 helicopters.
01:56:04.360 But that wasn't what it was supposed to be.
01:56:06.840 I think the list was about 300.
01:56:09.480 And we ended up taking 7,000 with us.
01:56:13.020 Right?
01:56:13.720 Yeah, I think it was down to, I thought it was 900.
01:56:15.400 Or 900.
01:56:15.800 900.
01:56:16.360 900 people.
01:56:17.360 But that's the, I guess that's the thing here is that.
01:56:20.940 We only had 900 at the end.
01:56:23.660 I keep thinking back to, think if you're Joe Biden.
01:56:26.820 You run for president.
01:56:27.940 You win the presidency.
01:56:29.140 You go through the election period, which is obviously somewhat strenuous.
01:56:32.760 But as you're preparing to get into office on January 20th, you know, you are only a few months away from a deadline set in a negotiation of May 1st to be out of the country.
01:56:45.380 And what does he do with this time?
01:56:48.380 Seemingly nothing.
01:56:50.160 He just sits back and acts as if this is not going to happen.
01:56:54.640 And maybe he thought they were going to hold out longer.
01:56:58.500 But like, why would you, if you're, you are definitely getting out, you're ideologically committed to it as he is.
01:57:05.340 Throughout all of this, he just keeps saying, I made the right decision.
01:57:08.200 We know he was so committed to it.
01:57:10.580 Why wouldn't you get all the people out of there so that when May 1st comes, if the Taliban is right around the corner, you can pull out the last few hundred people.
01:57:22.540 And why wouldn't you pull out everybody else out before your troops?
01:57:26.440 Right.
01:57:27.040 Because having the troops there protects everyone else.
01:57:31.580 And why would you not hold the air base?
01:57:34.340 Like, these are basic questions.
01:57:36.120 You know what?
01:57:36.520 Donald Trump had a great speech.
01:57:38.180 Did you see his speech this weekend?
01:57:39.280 A little bit of it, yeah.
01:57:40.000 I just love it when he said, you know what you do is you get all the people out first, then you get the military out after you've burned everything and you then take off and we bomb the airport, you know, the Air Force base, and we destroy everything that we left behind.
01:58:03.740 That's what you do.
01:58:05.220 It's really not that hard.
01:58:07.280 It's really not that hard.
01:58:09.060 All we know is that every decision Joe Biden has made was wrong.
01:58:14.500 And when I say every decision, I mean every decision he's made for the past 50 years.
01:58:19.520 When it comes to foreign policy, he has been wrong every single time throughout history.
01:58:25.360 There was a letter that we got when we went and killed Osama bin Laden.
01:58:30.280 And we got it in 2010 and we got it in 2010 and we got it in 2010 and we got the letter in 2011 and it wasn't released or made public for at least a year after that.
01:58:44.660 I was surprised it actually saw the light of day.
01:58:48.400 But the Daily Mail is reminding us of this letter today.
01:58:52.920 This is Osama bin Laden when he was then the leader of Al Qaeda.
01:58:57.320 And he wrote this 48 page letter of here.
01:59:00.660 We here's what we have to do on page 36.
01:59:03.680 He says we have to have two hit squads.
01:59:06.740 We have to kill President Barack Obama and David Petraeus because if we kill David Petraeus, you know, it'll change the war.
01:59:16.120 And if we kill Barack Obama and I'm quoting Joe Biden will take over the presidency for the remainder of the term as his norm over there, he's wildly unprepared and will lead the U.S. into chaos.
