Learn English with Matt Zellers, a former veteran who tried to help the Biden administration with the withdrawal from Afghanistan but was ignored, and now he's on MSDNC with Brian Williams who was probably pretending to be in the choppers as part of the withdrawal and says just that he was appalled. He's not some sort of conservative MAGA guy, he's a former Democratic candidate for Congress in New York who ran for Congress as a Democrat in the late '90s and is now a CNN pundit. He's also a former member of the House Armed Services Committee who served as a Democratic strategist and was a member of Biden's staff, and he's now a commentator for CNN and the New York Times, where he says he's "appalled" at the way the administration handled the situation in Afghanistan and calls it "pathetic" and "shameful" and says it's time to blame the Afghans for not having the audacity to do what was right when it was their turn to do the job they were supposed to be doing. He also says, "I feel like I was watching a different speech than the rest of you guys. I was appalled." And he's not the only one who's appalled, because even the Democrats understand just how badly Joe Biden's administration handled this situation, and just how bad it is, and how pathetic it really is. "I have no idea why people don't want to leave Afghanistan. I'm appalled that he thinks we only need to take 2, 2,000 people. I have a list of 14,000 names right now of people who want to get out of Afghanistan. ... And the idea that people don t want to be left behind in Afghanistan. We've identified all of them for the government. ... We had all the people I've been trying to tell our government that this was coming, and I was ignored. ... I have no clue why he doesn't understand why he thinks this is a good idea." And I'm curious to hear your reaction to this speech. . Listen to hear his thoughts on this. I hope you agree with me in this one, because I think it's a good one, right here, right? -- and I hope it's not a bad one, too. -- John Ava, John McCain, John McCain - John McCain -- Joe Biden - and more -- -- Joe Biden -- -

00:00:00.000 I'm curious to hear your reaction of this consequential speech by the American president.
00:00:06.000 Didn't run from it.
00:00:07.000 He owned it. He owned his decision.
00:00:09.000 He owned the fact that, as he put it, the buck stops with him.
00:00:14.000 I hope he gets to hone their deaths, too.
00:00:16.000 I feel like I watched a different speech than the rest of you guys.
00:00:20.000 I was appalled. There was such a profound, bold-faced lie in that speech, the idea that we plan for every contingency.
00:00:27.000 I have been personally trying to tell this administration since it took office.
00:00:32.000 I've been trying to tell our government for years that this was coming.
00:00:35.000 We sent them plan after plan on how to evacuate these people.
00:00:39.000 Nobody listened to us.
00:00:41.000 They didn't plan for the evacuation of our Afghan wartime allies.
00:00:44.000 They're trying to conduct it now at the 11th hour.
00:00:47.000 The thing that they were most concerned about was the optics of a chaotic evacuation.
00:00:51.000 Well, they got exactly what they were most concerned of by failing to do what was right when we could have done it.
00:00:56.000 We had all the people and equipment in place to be able to save these people months ago, and we did nothing.
00:01:03.000 I'm appalled that he thinks we only need to take 2,000 people.
00:01:06.000 There's 86,000 people who are currently left behind in Afghanistan alone.
00:01:10.000 We've identified all of them for the government.
00:01:13.000 I have no idea why he claims that people don't want to leave Afghanistan.
00:01:17.000 I have a list of 14,000 names right now of people who want to get out of Afghanistan.
00:01:22.000 And the idea that the Afghan military should be blamed for this, do you know how many casualties the Afghan military took in an average year?
00:01:29.000 More than the United States did in 20.
00:01:31.000 When you're not getting paid on a regular basis, when you're not getting fuel, when no one is supplying you with ammunition, and yet you're still showing up to the fight, how dare us for having to blame these people for not having the audacity I feel like I was watching a different speech than the rest of you guys.
00:01:57.000 I was appalled.
00:01:59.000 Well that was Matt Zellers, I guess a former veteran who tried actually helping the Biden administration with the withdrawal from Afghanistan but seemingly was ignored.
00:02:09.000 He gets on MSDNC with Brian Williams who was probably pretending to be in the choppers as part of the withdrawal.
00:02:16.000 And says just that.
00:02:19.000 He was appalled.
00:02:21.000 So we are clear, this is not some sort of conservative MAGA guy.
00:02:27.000 Matt Zellers ran for Congress as a Democrat in New York. 0.92
00:02:32.000 So even the Democrats understand just how badly Joe Biden has botched this, just how badly he destroyed America's credibility, and just how pathetic his entire administration is.
00:02:46.000 Watch, this is coming from a Democrat who served and who was working with Biden to try to help figure this out, but was ignored. 0.82
