Speaker 1: This is the Jesse Kelly Show on seven ten Water.
Speaker 2: On Jesse Kelly Show, Let's have some fun on a Tuesday,
Speaker 2: and it's going to be a different kind of a Tuesday.
Speaker 2: So strap in and buckle up and let me tell
Speaker 2: you what's in store for you tonight on the world
Speaker 2: famous Jesse Kelly Show. First of all, I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: lay out this warning right now. This first bit, maybe
Speaker 2: the first hour, I don't know how long it's going
Speaker 2: to take. Me is going to be a little bit heavy.
Speaker 2: It is the anniversary today of Abby Gate. It is
Speaker 2: weighing heavy on my heart. I have a lot I
Speaker 2: want to say, trying to honor them, trying to condemn
Speaker 2: those responsible, and we are going to walk through that.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to forget and I'm not going to
Speaker 2: let it go. We're gonna talk about that tonight, I know,
Speaker 2: because that's going to be heavy. We're all gonna be
Speaker 2: a little way down in a little bit, you me, everybody.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna chop away at a bunch of really cool emails,
Speaker 2: fun stuff, history stuff, all kinds of stuff afterwards, and
Speaker 2: then we'll get onto some other news of the day.
Speaker 2: A couple little items here little items there, Pam, Bonnie
Speaker 2: doesn't want you getting hammered on a boat this weekend.
Speaker 2: All that and so much more coming up on the
Speaker 2: world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Yeah, Pam, you know freedom
Speaker 2: is not free quit anyway. We'll get to that in
Speaker 2: a little while, but let's first discuss military service sacrifice,
Speaker 2: risking your life, losing your life on behalf of your nation,
Speaker 2: or tried whatever, wherever you happen to live. There is
Speaker 2: an old, old old saying that war is old men
Speaker 2: talking and young men dying. It's an old saying. They
Speaker 2: pulled that saying out in the movie Troy. If that's
Speaker 2: where you heard that saying first, just know that's an
Speaker 2: ancient proverb, much older than the movie Troy. Okay, but
Speaker 2: I do think it's been thousands of years old. War
Speaker 2: is old men talking and young men dying. Now, that
Speaker 2: is not as insulting as it always sounds. That's just
Speaker 2: the nature of how things are. As you get older,
Speaker 2: Lord willing, you get wiser, but your body isn't. It's
Speaker 2: not what it used to be, and so you need
Speaker 2: to do more, the thinking, more the decision making. When
Speaker 2: you're young, not as wise yet, not because you're stupid
Speaker 2: or there's anything wrong with you. You just don't have
Speaker 2: enough years under your belt yet, don't have enough experience.
Speaker 2: You're not as wise maybe, but physically you are tip
Speaker 2: top shape. And you as a young man and well
Speaker 2: young women nowadays two as a young man, you have
Speaker 2: those shoulders, legs, chest, You have that body in part
Speaker 2: because you are made to defend things. Defend your home physically,
Speaker 2: your woman, defend your town, your city, your country, and sometimes,
Speaker 2: if you so choose, give up your life in service
Speaker 2: to your country. That's the way things are. Young Men
Speaker 2: have fought in wars since time immemorial, and have died
Speaker 2: in wars since time began. That's the way it goes.
Speaker 2: I understand that, and let me explain. Every single person
Speaker 2: in uniform, especially frontline troops, they understand that, and they
Speaker 2: understand that's part of the risk. Yes, if I sign up,
Speaker 2: I may die. But whether we're talking about a big
Speaker 2: country or a small tribe, I have always and will
Speaker 2: always believe that the country itself, the government itself, owes
Speaker 2: you two things. If you are one of the young
Speaker 2: men or young women who will go die on behalf
Speaker 2: of that country. Your country owes you two things. One,
Speaker 2: your life that you're willing to give up for it
Speaker 2: should not be thrown away. Should not be disregarded as nothing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, look, they may order you to go do
Speaker 2: something very very dangerous with the risk of death very
Speaker 2: very high. Don't throw my life away like it's nothing.
Speaker 2: Don't throw the life of a young soldier away like
Speaker 2: it's nothing, because it's not nothing. That's a living, breathing
Speaker 2: human being with parents, siblings, maybe a wife, children. Don't
Speaker 2: take his willingness to sacrifice and abuse it and throw
Speaker 2: it away, throw it away with incompetence, with evil, with corruption.
Speaker 2: So that's one, don't throw the life away. And two,
Speaker 2: if that young soldier does give up his life on
Speaker 2: behalf of his country, honor him the old man who
Speaker 2: did the talking, meaning the ones who gave the orders,
Speaker 2: the ones who planned it. Honor the one who gave
Speaker 2: up his life. He deserves that. Society deserves to know
Speaker 2: his name, His fellow soldiers deserve to see you honoring him.
Speaker 2: His family deserves to see that. Honor and respect the
Speaker 2: ones who gave up their lives. I don't think that's
Speaker 2: asking a lot of any country or any tribe. Don't
Speaker 2: throw the life away, honor the sacrifice once it's been made.
Speaker 2: The reason I am opening up the show tonight talking
Speaker 2: about Abby Gate, I'm gonna try to remain quite calm.
Speaker 2: If you listen to this show for a while, you'll
Speaker 2: know that was the angriest I've ever been on the radio,
Speaker 2: shouting into the microphone. I hate doing that. I don't
Speaker 2: like doing angry radio. I'm going to try to stay
Speaker 2: calm tonight. The reason I'm doing this tonight is both counts,
Speaker 2: don't throw the life away and respect the sacrifice after
Speaker 2: it's gone. On both counts, the Communists in the Biden administration,
Speaker 2: in the State Department, in the intelligence community, in the
Speaker 2: military community failed those troops who gave up their lives.
Speaker 2: The young woman, a bunch of young men gave up
Speaker 2: their lives for this country, and their lives were thrown
Speaker 2: away by an evil, evil regime, by negligence by evil,
Speaker 2: and afterwards, in the aftermath of it, and to this day,
Speaker 2: nothing has been done to properly honor them. I do.
Speaker 2: Before I go on the stuff, want to give a
Speaker 2: nice shout out to Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump and JD.
Speaker 2: Vance who welcomed them into the White House today honored them.
Speaker 2: Here was a little bit of Pete hag this beautiful.
Speaker 3: Group on behalf of these families, on behalf of your
Speaker 3: loved ones who fought for our nation. America deserves answers
Speaker 3: as far as what happened in Afghanistan. The military needs
Speaker 3: to answer for what happened in Afghanistan. So upon the
Speaker 3: President's direction, immediately we initiated an investigation which showed that
Speaker 3: they're needed an even deeper dive. So Sean Parnell, depending
Speaker 3: on spokesman who himself is an Afghanistan veteran, is leading
Speaker 3: this effort. It's a top priority for us. We're getting
Speaker 3: access to all documents necessary, why decisions were made, why
Speaker 3: they weren't made, why certain forced protection measures were ignored. Again,
Speaker 3: there's never been accountability for this. It's something that Joe
Speaker 3: Biden allowed to happen that never should have happened. Anybody
Speaker 3: who any objective observer knows that's not how you leave
Speaker 3: a country. And certainly these families no better than anyone else.
Speaker 2: These families deserve it. Sean Parnell was a good man.
Speaker 2: Sean Parnell will dig down as deep as this hole
Speaker 2: goes and Sean Parnell will get US answers and credit
Speaker 2: to the Trump administration for digging into this. So let's
Speaker 2: recap what happened. Let's talk about it to hold people accountable,
Speaker 2: and let's talk about it to honor those who gave
Speaker 2: up their lives. And I'm telling you right now, at
Speaker 2: the end of all of this, I'm going to read
Speaker 2: their thirteen names and we are going to play taps
Speaker 2: in their honor. So Afghanistan, you know, we went there
Speaker 2: Post nine to eleven to track down Osama bin Lad.
Speaker 2: That was it was a big CIA special operations. It
Speaker 2: was a big you know, tip of the Spear operation.
Speaker 2: There's great, great material on that out there. Now we
Speaker 2: know Osama bin Lan was there. We know Afghanistan was
Speaker 2: really a hotbed for Jihati activity and still is, of course,
Speaker 2: And so we went there to track down the man
Speaker 2: response for bringing down the towers. But as is so
Speaker 2: often the case, we didn't have a clear mission. Part
Speaker 2: of the reason people fall in love with World War
Speaker 2: two is the mission was so incredibly clear, and in
Speaker 2: a lot of ways, it's really the last war we
Speaker 2: had where the mission was clear. There that's Nazi Germany,
Speaker 2: destroy them defeat them there, that's imperial to Japan. Destroy them,
Speaker 2: Defeat them, that's the goal, unconditional surrender. You will be defeated.
Speaker 2: And that clarity we find so refreshing, don't we, especially
Speaker 2: in the wake of everything that happened after that Korea?
Speaker 2: What are we doing? Okay, we ran them out of
Speaker 2: the south, but now we're invading the north? Are we?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Vietnam? We started on that. Poor
Speaker 2: guys over there talked about it all the time. What's
Speaker 2: the mission? What are we doing? What's the end goal?
Speaker 2: By Afghanistan? The lack of clarity we know now we
Speaker 2: know courtesy of things like the Afghanistan Papers, which is
Speaker 2: about the only decent thing the Washington Post has ever done.
Speaker 2: We know clear back to Rumsfeld. They're sending memos to
Speaker 2: each other. I'm not sure what the mission is now,
Speaker 2: can't find him. What are we doing here? We'll continue
Speaker 2: on in a moment. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
Speaker 2: on a wonderful, fantastic Tuesday. Remember you can email us
Speaker 2: Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. And after I get
Speaker 2: done dragging you down memory lane talking about Abby Gate, Afghanistan,
Speaker 2: the four year anniversary. We'll get to a bunch of
Speaker 2: those emails, maybe take a load off for a little bit,
Speaker 2: But for now, we are going to discuss what happened.
Speaker 2: We're going to discuss the sacrifice, the players to everything.
Speaker 2: We are going to talk about this. We are not
Speaker 2: going to let it go. We are not going to
Speaker 2: forget Afghanistan. We end up going in there after Osama
Speaker 2: bin Laden, but very very quickly the politicians and military
Speaker 2: leaders lose sight of what we're actually doing. What are
Speaker 2: we doing here? Why are we here? What is the
Speaker 2: actual overall mission? All right, this unbelievably goes on for
Speaker 2: twenty years. I still cannot believe that number. For twenty years,
Speaker 2: we had our guys running around Afghanistan doing crazy things.
Speaker 2: Some missions made sense, some missions did not. A lot
Speaker 2: of blood was lost over there. Some things we would
Speaker 2: we'd go put in a water well that was never used.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we were told we weren't allowed to touch the
Speaker 2: poppy fields, the heroin fields. In fact, we had American
Speaker 2: troops guarding them. We had a Green Beret assault an
Speaker 2: Afghani police chief who was assaulting a young boy, very
Speaker 2: common practice in Afghanistan, and the Green Beret got in
Speaker 2: trouble and what this did just I'm giving it to
Speaker 2: you from somebody who participated in the old g Watt.
Speaker 2: I was Iraq, not Afghanistan. And I'm telling you this
Speaker 2: disillusioned veterans like you cannot possibly imagine. We watched betrayal
Speaker 2: after betrayal after betrayal from our political and military leaders,
Speaker 2: Republican and Democrat. The most I've told you this before,
Speaker 2: the most revealing moment of my entire life was being
Speaker 2: in the Iraq invasion, fighting our way through the country
Speaker 2: and being told one day that the order came down
Speaker 2: that we had to put away our American flags, telling
Speaker 2: a legion of young patriotic marines that they had to
Speaker 2: hide their American flags. I don't know that I've ever
Speaker 2: seen the light go out of so many young marine's
Speaker 2: eyes as I did that day. But this is what
Speaker 2: happens when your country's led by a bunch of scumbags
Speaker 2: who don't love it, don't care about anything but their
Speaker 2: own power, their own wealth. And this went on for
Speaker 2: twenty years in places like Afghanistan. Now, after twenty years,
Speaker 2: see Obama wanted out of Afghanistan, at least he said
Speaker 2: he did. Trump said he did too. Biden said, everybody
Speaker 2: kept saying they wanted out, but we were not out
Speaker 2: because it's not easy to get out when you've been
Speaker 2: in a place for twenty years. You have a military base,
Speaker 2: you have relationships, you have supply lines, you have all
Speaker 2: these things. And one of the things we were doing
Speaker 2: for twenty years was supposedly building up the Afghan forces
Speaker 2: so they would be able to withstand the Taliban when
Speaker 2: we did leave. But here's a little genius wrinkle brought
Speaker 2: to you by America's military. We also force them to
Speaker 2: be reliant on us, meaning yeah, you'll be able to
Speaker 2: fight off the Taliban as long as we are here
Speaker 2: providing X, Y, and Z. We essentially train them to
Speaker 2: ride a bike with training wheels, and then decided all
Speaker 2: at once to rip those training wheels away. Now, let's
Speaker 2: discuss the decision itself to pull out the way Joe
Speaker 2: Biden did, Because there is a way to egress from
Speaker 2: a nation. There is a way to pull out. It
Speaker 2: is not easy, but it is there is a way.
Speaker 2: You have to do it carefully, slowly, one step at
Speaker 2: a time. You essentially take one step at a time
Speaker 2: backwards towards the door. You don't turn in towards the door.
Speaker 2: You don't back up too fast or you'll fall. You
Speaker 2: take one step out a time, just like you see
Speaker 2: in the movies, backing out the door, slowly but surely.
Speaker 2: But you see, that's not what the Biden administration wanted.
Speaker 2: Why why the big hurry? Why just pull everyone out,
Speaker 2: turn around and run for the door. Oh, I'm glad
Speaker 2: you asked pull numbers approval ratings. We were approaching the
Speaker 2: anniversary of nine to eleven, the twentieth anniversary nine to eleven.
Speaker 2: The Biden administration wanted a good talking point. They wanted
Speaker 2: a good parade, a good flowery, fluffy military video to
Speaker 2: put out. They wanted Joe Biden to look like the
Speaker 2: man who finds got us out of Afghanistan. So, against
Speaker 2: all the advice in the world, they simply sent the
Speaker 2: memo out and said, hey, leave, Oh oh okay, when
Speaker 2: oh now, what do you mean now? Like right now?
Speaker 2: Leave everywhere? Yeah? Well, what about all the equipment we have?
Speaker 2: Leave it? Uh? What about the terrorists we're currently holding?
Speaker 2: Isis terrorists currently holding being detained in Boga Mare Base.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't care. Leave for poll numbers for approval
Speaker 2: ratings so they could send out a nice tweet. That's
Speaker 2: why we left. We'll pick up the story from there
Speaker 2: in a moment. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on
Speaker 2: a Tuesday, a wonderful Tuesday, as we walk through Afghanistan
Speaker 2: Abbey gate to pull out what happened, as we try
Speaker 2: to honor the sacrifice, try to hold people accountable on
Speaker 2: the fourth anniversary of all of it. So Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: because he wanted and I know when I say Joe
Speaker 2: Biden as always, just know that's a placeholder. He didn't
Speaker 2: want anything. It was the dirty, filthy communists who hate
Speaker 2: America all around him. That was the only people making decisions.
Speaker 2: So Joe Biden decided he wanted a flowery photo op
Speaker 2: for the anniversary of September eleventh. He yanked all of
Speaker 2: our troops out, emptied the place overnight, without doing it
Speaker 2: smartly at all. What happens. The Afghan forces that we
Speaker 2: had supposedly been training for years started to collapse almost immediately.
Speaker 2: The Taliban were ready. Of course, they were given a
Speaker 2: heads up that we were leaving. The Taliban were ready,
Speaker 2: and they began to conquer region after region immediately. Now,
Speaker 2: the people of Afghanistan are intimately familiar with how the
Speaker 2: Taliban operate and what they do. The Taliban barbarism is infamous.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows about it. The way they treat women, the
Speaker 2: way they treat children. They're big on the whole torture thing, execution. Chris,
Speaker 2: You people don't fare very well there. Neither do Christians.
Speaker 2: By the way, the Taliban are evil. They are the
Speaker 2: spawn of Satan, and people begin to panic. Afghan people
Speaker 2: begin to panic, and they start to flood towards whatever
Speaker 2: Americans are left in the country, saying save us, get
Speaker 2: us out, because they know a life of torture and
Speaker 2: death is imminent for them. Get us out, Save us please.
Speaker 2: So we are treated as Afghanistan is falling, we are
Speaker 2: treated to scenes that are rough. To put it mildly,
Speaker 2: a runway full of panic to afghanis crowding around sea
Speaker 2: one thirties in some cases, so they're holding on to
Speaker 2: the landing gear before plummeting to their death high above
Speaker 2: the runway. It's an ugly, awful scene, very reminiscent of
Speaker 2: when we were pulling our final troops out of Vietnam.
Speaker 2: The panicked people of Vietnam knowing what's going to happen
Speaker 2: when the communist savages finally have control over everything? A
Speaker 2: level of fear that I hope you will never know,
Speaker 2: and frankly, I hope I will never know. They're scared
Speaker 2: to death. Now now the Biden administration is scrambling. They're
Speaker 2: scrambling because well, one everyone went on vacation. Everyone went
Speaker 2: on vacation, Joe Biden, our Secretary of State, Anthony Blincoln,
Speaker 2: even the White House Press Secretary. They left as Afghanistan
Speaker 2: was collapsing. Then the outrage starts to pour in. Their
Speaker 2: ozones are blowing up. What are you doing? What is
Speaker 2: happening over there? And they dragged Joe Biden out and
Speaker 2: this when he sat down with noted communist propagandist George Stephanopolis.
Speaker 2: This was the answer from the President of the United
Speaker 2: States of America. As people were dropping from sea one thirty.
Speaker 2: We've all seen the pictures. Who've seen those hundreds of
Speaker 2: people packed into a C seventeen, We've seen Afghan's fall
Speaker 2: was four.
Speaker 1: Days ago, five days ago.
Speaker 2: I was four or five days ago. Why are you
Speaker 2: bringing up old stuff? Well, now here's what's happening inside
Speaker 2: of the White House. Remember This was supposed to be
Speaker 2: a flowery photo op. This was supposed to be a
Speaker 2: great moment. Look at who pulled us out of Afghanistan.
Speaker 2: Uh Oh, the public's mad about something. What are we
Speaker 2: going to do? They come up with the most kakamami
Speaker 2: plan I've ever heard in my life. Pause for a
Speaker 2: moment before we get to the plan. Let me talk
Speaker 2: about the detention center on Bogram Air Base. You see
Speaker 2: the men we were holding there were some of the
Speaker 2: most committed Jihadis on the planet. One of those men,
Speaker 2: he was an Isis guy. He had been previously captured
Speaker 2: in India. He was in India getting ready to carry
Speaker 2: out a terrorist attack in New Delhi. The Indians, by
Speaker 2: the grace of God, found him first, grabbed him up,
Speaker 2: deported him. We got our hands on him and threw
Speaker 2: him in a cage in Bogram Air Base. When the
Speaker 2: Biden administration abandoned Bagram Air Base, imagine the moment the
Speaker 2: Taliban are walking through our air base and they come
Speaker 2: across this detention place with a bunch of committed demons
Speaker 2: who were willing to commit murder against Americans. They grabbed
Speaker 2: the keys, open up the gates, and then there's a
Speaker 2: meeting between ISIS between al Qaeda. They were part of this.
Speaker 2: In fact, the bin Laden family is part of this.
Speaker 2: Did you know this ISIS, al Qaeda and the Taliban
Speaker 2: had high level meetings about planning an attack. How do
Speaker 2: we hurt these Americans? How do we blow up these troops?
Speaker 2: Now back to our kokam Amy plan. Instead of an
Speaker 2: air base which is very secure, and let me clarify
Speaker 2: this for civilian types who may not understand. Why is
Speaker 2: a military air base like Bogram secure but a civilian
Speaker 2: airport is not secure. A military air base is surrounded
Speaker 2: by walls, surrounded by towers, and in order to gain
Speaker 2: entry to it, because we've learned over years and years
Speaker 2: and years of dealing withchie hotties, to gain entry to it,
Speaker 2: you don't just drive right up a road right up
Speaker 2: to the gate and maybe you get a big truck
Speaker 2: full of explosives and you blow through the gate or
Speaker 2: blow up the gate or something like that. No no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no, that's not how it works at all. You
Speaker 2: have different barrier systems set up that force vehicles to
Speaker 2: weave their way through gigantic concrete sandbag barriers. Cant Basically
Speaker 2: you have prevented. You have prevented, for the most part,
Speaker 2: any kind of a large suicide bomb attack that can
Speaker 2: hurt a lot of personnel inside the air base. Maybe
Speaker 2: you'll get the people guarding the gates. That certainly happens,
Speaker 2: but for the most part, the base is secured. We've
Speaker 2: learned how to avoid suicide tactics. But that has to
Speaker 2: be done not just with troops, because troops, all of them,
Speaker 2: even the toughest in the world, they're just flesh and blood.
Speaker 2: It has to be done with hard infrastructure, walls, concrete pillboxes, sandbags, towers.
Speaker 2: This is how you protect yourself against gihatis, with suicide
Speaker 2: vests and trucks full of ammonium nitrate. This is how
Speaker 2: it is done, and that's what we had at Bagram.
Speaker 2: But the geniuses in the Biden administration and the military
Speaker 2: and the State Department and the intelligence community, we can't
Speaker 2: let any of them off the hook. They just decided
Speaker 2: to open up the whole freaking thing and give it
Speaker 2: back to the Taliban. Now we have to go to
Speaker 2: the airport, the regular old civilian airport. Let me ask
Speaker 2: you something. Your airport, the airport in your community, how
Speaker 2: secure is it Oh no, no, don't get wrong. I
Speaker 2: know there are metal detectives and things like that, But
Speaker 2: what's surrounding the airport in your area? Now, this is America.
Speaker 2: In your area. At best, at best, there is a
Speaker 2: chain link fence that is the ultimate security physically keeping
Speaker 2: people out of your airport runway. Am I off? Am
Speaker 2: I wrong about that?
Speaker 4: At all?
Speaker 2: At best, that's what you have. Now. We have legions
Speaker 2: of frightened people an airport that cannot possibly be properly secured,
Speaker 2: and we send Marines, sailors and army soldiers into there
Speaker 2: to try to sort through the mess. So the Biden
Speaker 2: administration doesn't have the bad optics they had four or
Speaker 2: five days ago when Afghani's were dropping from the sky.
Speaker 2: We sent the troops in for optics, and we didn't
Speaker 2: give them at all the infrastructure they needed to ensure
Speaker 2: the worst couldn't happen. And while all this was going on,
Speaker 2: Taliban isis al Qaeda operatives were meeting figuring out how
Speaker 2: to kill our guys. We'll continue next.
Speaker 5: Is the Jesse Kelly Show. That's not old man music, Chris,
Speaker 5: that's good music. You wouldn't know anything about that, You
Speaker 5: gen z dark sorry. I get upset with Jewish producer
Speaker 5: Chris sometimes when he insults Motown.
Speaker 2: Who doesn't like Motown? Everybody likes Motown. You're crazy, Chris.
Speaker 2: Back to what we were discussing. Don't distract me. We'll
Speaker 2: get to other things emails. I'll move off this whenever
Speaker 2: I'm done with it. I'm not in a hurry. We're
Speaker 2: talking about what happened the fourth anniversary of Abbey Gate.
Speaker 2: So what did happen that day? First of all, don't
Speaker 2: think for one single second that we didn't know there
Speaker 2: were bad guys about, And don't think for a second
Speaker 2: that we didn't identify the bad guy before he incinerated
Speaker 2: thirteen of our troops with ball bearings. I'm going to
Speaker 2: play a couple things for you. United States Marine Corps
Speaker 2: Sergeant I believe he was Stat. Sargan, maybe was Sergeant
Speaker 2: Vargas Andrews. He's describing the attack here.
Speaker 4: It was about seventeen thirty STAP Sergeant Darren Hoover's friend
Speaker 4: and mentor.
Speaker 2: By the way, this is a minute in forty two seconds.
Speaker 2: I don't think I will interrupt it, just out of
Speaker 2: respect that if I have to clarify something, I may
Speaker 2: interrupt it, but I want him to have his piece.
Speaker 4: About seventeen thirty stap Sergeant Darren Hoover, friend and mentor,
Speaker 4: came to get me from the tower to go help
Speaker 4: find an Afghan interpreter in the crowd. We found the
Speaker 4: interpreter and his brother, born with American passports. They told
Speaker 4: us five told us of five family members still in
Speaker 4: the canal. I stayed there waiting for the family members,
Speaker 4: standing against a two foot canal wall. Ten minutes past.
Speaker 4: Then a flash and a massive wave of pressure. I'm
Speaker 4: throwing twelve feet onto the ground, but instantly knew what
Speaker 4: had happened. I opened my eyes to marine's dead or
Speaker 4: conscious lying around me. A crowd of hundreds immediately vanished
Speaker 4: in front of me, and my body was catastrophically wounded,
Speaker 4: with one hundred, one hundred and fifty ball bearings now
Speaker 4: in it. Almost immediately we started taking fire from the neighborhood,
Speaker 4: and I saw how injured I was, with my right
Speaker 4: arm completely shredded and unusable. I saw my lower abdomen
Speaker 4: soaked in blood. I crawled backwards seven feet, roughly seven
Speaker 4: feet because I thought I was still in harms away.
Speaker 4: My body was overwhelmed from the trauma of the blast.
Speaker 4: My abdomen had been ripped open. Every inch of my
Speaker 4: exposed body except from my face to ball bearings shrapnel.
Speaker 2: Now, who was it that had that bomb? And could
Speaker 2: we have stopped it beforehand? Here he was?
Speaker 4: I requested for the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Brad Whited,
Speaker 4: to come to the tower to see what we did.
Speaker 4: While we waited for him, psychological operations individuals came to
Speaker 4: our tower immediately and confirmed the suspect met the suicide
Speaker 4: bomber description. He eventually arrived and we showed him our evidence,
Speaker 4: the photos we had of the two men. We reassured
Speaker 4: him of the ease of fire on the suicide bomber. Pointedly,
Speaker 4: we asked him for engagement authority and permission. We asked
Speaker 4: him if we could shoot. Our battalion commander said, and
Speaker 4: I quote, I don't know end quote. Myself and my
Speaker 4: team leader asked, very harshly, well who does, because this
Speaker 4: is your responsibility, sir. He again replied he did not know,
Speaker 4: but would find out. We received no update and never
Speaker 4: got our answer. Eventually, the individual disappeared. To this day,
Speaker 4: we believe he was a suicide bomber. We made everyone
Speaker 4: on the ground to where operations had briefly halted but
Speaker 4: then started again, plain and simple, we were.
Speaker 2: Ignored, ignored. Hey sir, here's a suicide bomb. Can I shoot?
Speaker 2: I don't know, well could you? Could you maybe find out?
Speaker 2: Never gets back to his troops. This is another thing
Speaker 2: We're not just going to dump all over the Biden administration,
Speaker 2: which of course we are going to do. The military
Speaker 2: leadership in this country is a disgrace. The rot has
Speaker 2: been going on for years, in years and years, and
Speaker 2: now our brave troops on the ground are oftentimes led
Speaker 2: by the biggest bunch of scumbed, dork idiot losers in
Speaker 2: the country. You see that uniform that says general admiral
Speaker 2: in immediately your respect level goes up. I sneer because
Speaker 2: I assume that's a dirtball politician wearing a military uniform
Speaker 2: who would sell his troops up the river in a
Speaker 2: heartbeat if it meant one more star on his caller.
Speaker 2: That's what I assume, and I'm correct about ninety nine
Speaker 2: percent of the time in this country. How in the world,
Speaker 2: as a battalion commander, how does a battalion commander look
Speaker 2: at a Marine Corps scout sniper who had identified the
Speaker 2: suicide bomber ahead of time, and say, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. I had several battalion commanders
Speaker 2: in my four years in the Marine Corps, and every
Speaker 2: one of them, I guarantee you to a man would
Speaker 2: have said kill him immediately, I'll deal with the aftermath. No,
Speaker 2: go kill him, shoot him now. That's what I had
Speaker 2: in two thousand to two thousand and four. By the
Speaker 2: time twenty twenty came around, we get I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'll find out, and never even makes a phone call
Speaker 2: to come back, doesn't so much as get on the
Speaker 2: radio and say leave. Says nothing pathetic. And after our
Speaker 2: thirteen warriors died, the American people, hoping that maybe briefly
Speaker 2: we had a commander in chief, waited for Joe Biden
Speaker 2: to take the podium that night. Joe Biden took the
Speaker 2: podium that night after having thrown away the lives of
Speaker 2: thirteen brave warriors. And this is how it went.
Speaker 1: Unattacked by a group known as vices K, took the
Speaker 1: lives of American service members standing guard at the airport
Speaker 1: and wound it several others. Seriously, we have so much.
Speaker 2: To do.
Speaker 1: Within our capacity to do it. We just have to
Speaker 1: remain steadfast, steadfast, ladies and gentlemen. They gave me a
Speaker 1: list here. The first person I was instructed to call
Speaker 1: on was Kelly O'donnald NBC.
Speaker 2: They gave me a list here, the first person I
Speaker 2: was instructed to call on. Now, why were the communist
Speaker 2: animals in charge of the country, Why were they giving
Speaker 2: Joe Biden specific instructions on which reporter to call on,
Speaker 2: Because even in the wake of the death of thirteen
Speaker 2: brave souls, they were still just worried about optics, still
Speaker 2: worried about poll numbers, still worried about approval ratings. We'll
Speaker 2: wrap this up and play taps for the Fallen next
