<v Speaker 2>famous Jesse Kelly Show. First of all, I'm just gonna

7
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>lay out this warning right now. This first bit, maybe

8
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the first hour, I don't know how long it's going

9
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>to take. Me is going to be a little bit heavy.

10
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>It is the anniversary today of Abby Gate. It is

11
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>weighing heavy on my heart. I have a lot I

12
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 2>want to say, trying to honor them, trying to condemn

13
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>those responsible, and we are going to walk through that.

14
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to forget and I'm not going to

15
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>let it go. We're gonna talk about that tonight, I know,

16
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 2>because that's going to be heavy. We're all gonna be

17
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 2>a little way down in a little bit, you me, everybody.

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna chop away at a bunch of really cool emails,

19
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 2>fun stuff, history stuff, all kinds of stuff afterwards, and

20
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 2>then we'll get onto some other news of the day.

21
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>A couple little items here little items there, Pam, Bonnie

22
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want you getting hammered on a boat this weekend.

23
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>All that and so much more coming up on the

24
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 2>world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Yeah, Pam, you know freedom

25
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 2>is not free quit anyway. We'll get to that in

26
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>a little while, but let's first discuss military service sacrifice,

27
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>risking your life, losing your life on behalf of your nation,

28
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>or tried whatever, wherever you happen to live. There is

29
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>an old, old old saying that war is old men

30
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>talking and young men dying. It's an old saying. They

31
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 2>pulled that saying out in the movie Troy. If that's

32
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 2>where you heard that saying first, just know that's an

33
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>ancient proverb, much older than the movie Troy. Okay, but

34
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 2>I do think it's been thousands of years old. War

35
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 2>is old men talking and young men dying. Now, that

36
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 2>is not as insulting as it always sounds. That's just

37
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the nature of how things are. As you get older,

38
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Lord willing, you get wiser, but your body isn't. It's

39
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>not what it used to be, and so you need

40
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 2>to do more, the thinking, more the decision making. When

41
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you're young, not as wise yet, not because you're stupid

42
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>or there's anything wrong with you. You just don't have

43
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 2>enough years under your belt yet, don't have enough experience.

44
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>You're not as wise maybe, but physically you are tip

45
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>top shape. And you as a young man and well

46
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.599
<v Speaker 2>young women nowadays two as a young man, you have

47
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>those shoulders, legs, chest, You have that body in part

48
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>because you are made to defend things. Defend your home physically,

49
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>your woman, defend your town, your city, your country, and sometimes,

50
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>if you so choose, give up your life in service

51
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 2>to your country. That's the way things are. Young Men

52
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 2>have fought in wars since time immemorial, and have died

53
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 2>in wars since time began. That's the way it goes.

54
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I understand that, and let me explain. Every single person

55
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>in uniform, especially frontline troops, they understand that, and they

56
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>understand that's part of the risk. Yes, if I sign up,

57
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>I may die. But whether we're talking about a big

58
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>country or a small tribe, I have always and will

59
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>always believe that the country itself, the government itself, owes

60
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>you two things. If you are one of the young

61
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>men or young women who will go die on behalf

62
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>of that country. Your country owes you two things. One,

63
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>your life that you're willing to give up for it

64
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 2>should not be thrown away. Should not be disregarded as nothing.

65
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, look, they may order you to go do

66
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 2>something very very dangerous with the risk of death very

67
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 2>very high. Don't throw my life away like it's nothing.

68
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 2>Don't throw the life of a young soldier away like

69
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>it's nothing, because it's not nothing. That's a living, breathing

70
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 2>human being with parents, siblings, maybe a wife, children. Don't

71
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>take his willingness to sacrifice and abuse it and throw

72
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>it away, throw it away with incompetence, with evil, with corruption.

73
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>So that's one, don't throw the life away. And two,

74
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>if that young soldier does give up his life on

75
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>behalf of his country, honor him the old man who

76
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>did the talking, meaning the ones who gave the orders,

77
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 2>the ones who planned it. Honor the one who gave

78
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 2>up his life. He deserves that. Society deserves to know

79
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 2>his name, His fellow soldiers deserve to see you honoring him.

80
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>His family deserves to see that. Honor and respect the

81
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>ones who gave up their lives. I don't think that's

82
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>asking a lot of any country or any tribe. Don't

83
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 2>throw the life away, honor the sacrifice once it's been made.

84
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 2>The reason I am opening up the show tonight talking

85
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 2>about Abby Gate, I'm gonna try to remain quite calm.

86
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>If you listen to this show for a while, you'll

87
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>know that was the angriest I've ever been on the radio,

88
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>shouting into the microphone. I hate doing that. I don't

89
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 2>like doing angry radio. I'm going to try to stay

90
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 2>calm tonight. The reason I'm doing this tonight is both counts,

91
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 2>don't throw the life away and respect the sacrifice after

92
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 2>it's gone. On both counts, the Communists in the Biden administration,

93
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>in the State Department, in the intelligence community, in the

94
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 2>military community failed those troops who gave up their lives.

95
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 2>The young woman, a bunch of young men gave up

96
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 2>their lives for this country, and their lives were thrown

97
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 2>away by an evil, evil regime, by negligence by evil,

98
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.360
<v Speaker 2>and afterwards, in the aftermath of it, and to this day,

99
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>nothing has been done to properly honor them. I do.

100
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Before I go on the stuff, want to give a

101
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 2>nice shout out to Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump and JD.

102
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Vance who welcomed them into the White House today honored them.

103
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Here was a little bit of Pete hag this beautiful.

104
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 3>Group on behalf of these families, on behalf of your

105
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 3>loved ones who fought for our nation. America deserves answers

106
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 3>as far as what happened in Afghanistan. The military needs

107
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 3>to answer for what happened in Afghanistan. So upon the

108
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 3>President's direction, immediately we initiated an investigation which showed that

109
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 3>they're needed an even deeper dive. So Sean Parnell, depending

110
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 3>on spokesman who himself is an Afghanistan veteran, is leading

111
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 3>this effort. It's a top priority for us. We're getting

112
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 3>access to all documents necessary, why decisions were made, why

113
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 3>they weren't made, why certain forced protection measures were ignored. Again,

114
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 3>there's never been accountability for this. It's something that Joe

115
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Biden allowed to happen that never should have happened. Anybody

116
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 3>who any objective observer knows that's not how you leave

117
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.800
<v Speaker 3>a country. And certainly these families no better than anyone else.

118
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>These families deserve it. Sean Parnell was a good man.

119
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Sean Parnell will dig down as deep as this hole

120
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 2>goes and Sean Parnell will get US answers and credit

121
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.600
<v Speaker 2>to the Trump administration for digging into this. So let's

122
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 2>recap what happened. Let's talk about it to hold people accountable,

123
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>and let's talk about it to honor those who gave

124
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 2>up their lives. And I'm telling you right now, at

125
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 2>the end of all of this, I'm going to read

126
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 2>their thirteen names and we are going to play taps

127
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 2>in their honor. So Afghanistan, you know, we went there

128
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Post nine to eleven to track down Osama bin Lad.

129
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>That was it was a big CIA special operations. It

130
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 2>was a big you know, tip of the Spear operation.

131
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 2>There's great, great material on that out there. Now we

132
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 2>know Osama bin Lan was there. We know Afghanistan was

133
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 2>really a hotbed for Jihati activity and still is, of course,

134
00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.480
<v Speaker 2>And so we went there to track down the man

135
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 2>response for bringing down the towers. But as is so

136
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>often the case, we didn't have a clear mission. Part

137
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 2>of the reason people fall in love with World War

138
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 2>two is the mission was so incredibly clear, and in

139
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of ways, it's really the last war we

140
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>had where the mission was clear. There that's Nazi Germany,

141
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 2>destroy them defeat them there, that's imperial to Japan. Destroy them,

142
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Defeat them, that's the goal, unconditional surrender. You will be defeated.

143
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 2>And that clarity we find so refreshing, don't we, especially

144
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>in the wake of everything that happened after that Korea?

145
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.600
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing? Okay, we ran them out of

146
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.440
<v Speaker 2>the south, but now we're invading the north? Are we?

147
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing? Vietnam? We started on that. Poor

148
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 2>guys over there talked about it all the time. What's

149
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the mission? What are we doing? What's the end goal?

150
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:05.440
<v Speaker 2>By Afghanistan? The lack of clarity we know now we

151
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.440
<v Speaker 2>know courtesy of things like the Afghanistan Papers, which is

152
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>about the only decent thing the Washington Post has ever done.

153
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 2>We know clear back to Rumsfeld. They're sending memos to

154
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 2>each other. I'm not sure what the mission is now,

155
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 2>can't find him. What are we doing here? We'll continue

156
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:28.039
<v Speaker 2>on in a moment. It is the Jesse Kelly Show

157
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 2>on a wonderful, fantastic Tuesday. Remember you can email us

158
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. And after I get

159
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 2>done dragging you down memory lane talking about Abby Gate, Afghanistan,

160
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 2>the four year anniversary. We'll get to a bunch of

161
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 2>those emails, maybe take a load off for a little bit,

162
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 2>But for now, we are going to discuss what happened.

163
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>We're going to discuss the sacrifice, the players to everything.

164
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.639
<v Speaker 2>We are going to talk about this. We are not

165
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 2>going to let it go. We are not going to

166
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.679
<v Speaker 2>forget Afghanistan. We end up going in there after Osama

167
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 2>bin Laden, but very very quickly the politicians and military

168
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>leaders lose sight of what we're actually doing. What are

169
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.080
<v Speaker 2>we doing here? Why are we here? What is the

170
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:23.039
<v Speaker 2>actual overall mission? All right, this unbelievably goes on for

171
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty years. I still cannot believe that number. For twenty years,

172
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>we had our guys running around Afghanistan doing crazy things.

173
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Some missions made sense, some missions did not. A lot

174
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 2>of blood was lost over there. Some things we would

175
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 2>we'd go put in a water well that was never used.

176
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes we were told we weren't allowed to touch the

177
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>poppy fields, the heroin fields. In fact, we had American

178
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>troops guarding them. We had a Green Beret assault an

179
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Afghani police chief who was assaulting a young boy, very

180
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 2>common practice in Afghanistan, and the Green Beret got in

181
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:14.720
<v Speaker 2>trouble and what this did just I'm giving it to

182
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>you from somebody who participated in the old g Watt.

183
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I was Iraq, not Afghanistan. And I'm telling you this

184
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>disillusioned veterans like you cannot possibly imagine. We watched betrayal

185
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 2>after betrayal after betrayal from our political and military leaders,

186
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Republican and Democrat. The most I've told you this before,

187
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the most revealing moment of my entire life was being

188
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>in the Iraq invasion, fighting our way through the country

189
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>and being told one day that the order came down

190
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>that we had to put away our American flags, telling

191
00:12:55.559 --> 00:13:00.080
<v Speaker 2>a legion of young patriotic marines that they had to

192
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.120
<v Speaker 2>hide their American flags. I don't know that I've ever

193
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 2>seen the light go out of so many young marine's

194
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 2>eyes as I did that day. But this is what

195
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.039
<v Speaker 2>happens when your country's led by a bunch of scumbags

196
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.159
<v Speaker 2>who don't love it, don't care about anything but their

197
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 2>own power, their own wealth. And this went on for

198
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty years in places like Afghanistan. Now, after twenty years,

199
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 2>see Obama wanted out of Afghanistan, at least he said

200
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 2>he did. Trump said he did too. Biden said, everybody

201
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.679
<v Speaker 2>kept saying they wanted out, but we were not out

202
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.720
<v Speaker 2>because it's not easy to get out when you've been

203
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 2>in a place for twenty years. You have a military base,

204
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 2>you have relationships, you have supply lines, you have all

205
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 2>these things. And one of the things we were doing

206
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:57.720
<v Speaker 2>for twenty years was supposedly building up the Afghan forces

207
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.240
<v Speaker 2>so they would be able to withstand the Taliban when

208
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.919
<v Speaker 2>we did leave. But here's a little genius wrinkle brought

209
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 2>to you by America's military. We also force them to

210
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>be reliant on us, meaning yeah, you'll be able to

211
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>fight off the Taliban as long as we are here

212
00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>providing X, Y, and Z. We essentially train them to

213
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 2>ride a bike with training wheels, and then decided all

214
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 2>at once to rip those training wheels away. Now, let's

215
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>discuss the decision itself to pull out the way Joe

216
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Biden did, Because there is a way to egress from

217
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 2>a nation. There is a way to pull out. It

218
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:48.159
<v Speaker 2>is not easy, but it is there is a way.

219
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>You have to do it carefully, slowly, one step at

220
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:57.120
<v Speaker 2>a time. You essentially take one step at a time

221
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>backwards towards the door. You don't turn in towards the door.

222
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.240
<v Speaker 2>You don't back up too fast or you'll fall. You

223
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 2>take one step out a time, just like you see

224
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>in the movies, backing out the door, slowly but surely.

225
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.480
<v Speaker 2>But you see, that's not what the Biden administration wanted.

226
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Why why the big hurry? Why just pull everyone out,

227
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:29.080
<v Speaker 2>turn around and run for the door. Oh, I'm glad

228
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 2>you asked pull numbers approval ratings. We were approaching the

229
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:41.240
<v Speaker 2>anniversary of nine to eleven, the twentieth anniversary nine to eleven.

230
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:49.200
<v Speaker 2>The Biden administration wanted a good talking point. They wanted

231
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 2>a good parade, a good flowery, fluffy military video to

232
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>put out. They wanted Joe Biden to look like the

233
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.000
<v Speaker 2>man who finds got us out of Afghanistan. So, against

234
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.600
<v Speaker 2>all the advice in the world, they simply sent the

235
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 2>memo out and said, hey, leave, Oh oh okay, when

236
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 2>oh now, what do you mean now? Like right now?

237
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Leave everywhere? Yeah? Well, what about all the equipment we have?

238
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Leave it? Uh? What about the terrorists we're currently holding?

239
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Isis terrorists currently holding being detained in Boga Mare Base.

240
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh I don't care. Leave for poll numbers for approval

241
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 2>ratings so they could send out a nice tweet. That's

242
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>why we left. We'll pick up the story from there

243
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:49.120
<v Speaker 2>in a moment. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on

244
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>a Tuesday, a wonderful Tuesday, as we walk through Afghanistan

245
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Abbey gate to pull out what happened, as we try

246
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.720
<v Speaker 2>to honor the sacrifice, try to hold people accountable on

247
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 2>the fourth anniversary of all of it. So Joe Biden,

248
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.920
<v Speaker 2>because he wanted and I know when I say Joe

249
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Biden as always, just know that's a placeholder. He didn't

250
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 2>want anything. It was the dirty, filthy communists who hate

251
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.599
<v Speaker 2>America all around him. That was the only people making decisions.

252
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.319
<v Speaker 2>So Joe Biden decided he wanted a flowery photo op

253
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.440
<v Speaker 2>for the anniversary of September eleventh. He yanked all of

254
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.160
<v Speaker 2>our troops out, emptied the place overnight, without doing it

255
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 2>smartly at all. What happens. The Afghan forces that we

256
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 2>had supposedly been training for years started to collapse almost immediately.

257
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 2>The Taliban were ready. Of course, they were given a

258
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 2>heads up that we were leaving. The Taliban were ready,

259
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 2>and they began to conquer region after region immediately. Now,

260
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the people of Afghanistan are intimately familiar with how the

261
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Taliban operate and what they do. The Taliban barbarism is infamous.

262
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows about it. The way they treat women, the

263
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:08.960
<v Speaker 2>way they treat children. They're big on the whole torture thing, execution. Chris,

264
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.160
<v Speaker 2>You people don't fare very well there. Neither do Christians.

265
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 2>By the way, the Taliban are evil. They are the

266
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>spawn of Satan, and people begin to panic. Afghan people

267
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 2>begin to panic, and they start to flood towards whatever

268
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Americans are left in the country, saying save us, get

269
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 2>us out, because they know a life of torture and

270
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:38.519
<v Speaker 2>death is imminent for them. Get us out, Save us please.

271
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:46.039
<v Speaker 2>So we are treated as Afghanistan is falling, we are

272
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 2>treated to scenes that are rough. To put it mildly,

273
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 2>a runway full of panic to afghanis crowding around sea

274
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:01.440
<v Speaker 2>one thirties in some cases, so they're holding on to

275
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:05.640
<v Speaker 2>the landing gear before plummeting to their death high above

276
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 2>the runway. It's an ugly, awful scene, very reminiscent of

277
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.720
<v Speaker 2>when we were pulling our final troops out of Vietnam.

278
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 2>The panicked people of Vietnam knowing what's going to happen

279
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:23.400
<v Speaker 2>when the communist savages finally have control over everything? A

280
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:25.720
<v Speaker 2>level of fear that I hope you will never know,

281
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.119
<v Speaker 2>and frankly, I hope I will never know. They're scared

282
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:35.240
<v Speaker 2>to death. Now now the Biden administration is scrambling. They're

283
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:44.240
<v Speaker 2>scrambling because well, one everyone went on vacation. Everyone went

284
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 2>on vacation, Joe Biden, our Secretary of State, Anthony Blincoln,

285
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 2>even the White House Press Secretary. They left as Afghanistan

286
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.680
<v Speaker 2>was collapsing. Then the outrage starts to pour in. Their

287
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.400
<v Speaker 2>ozones are blowing up. What are you doing? What is

288
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.920
<v Speaker 2>happening over there? And they dragged Joe Biden out and

289
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.880
<v Speaker 2>this when he sat down with noted communist propagandist George Stephanopolis.

290
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.799
<v Speaker 2>This was the answer from the President of the United

291
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 2>States of America. As people were dropping from sea one thirty.

292
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.680
<v Speaker 2>We've all seen the pictures. Who've seen those hundreds of

293
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:26.119
<v Speaker 2>people packed into a C seventeen, We've seen Afghan's fall

294
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.359
<v Speaker 2>was four.

295
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Days ago, five days ago.

296
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.359
<v Speaker 2>I was four or five days ago. Why are you

297
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Speaker 2>bringing up old stuff? Well, now here's what's happening inside

298
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:40.720
<v Speaker 2>of the White House. Remember This was supposed to be

299
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.440
<v Speaker 2>a flowery photo op. This was supposed to be a

300
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.640
<v Speaker 2>great moment. Look at who pulled us out of Afghanistan.

301
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh Oh, the public's mad about something. What are we

302
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.440
<v Speaker 2>going to do? They come up with the most kakamami

303
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 2>plan I've ever heard in my life. Pause for a

304
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.480
<v Speaker 2>moment before we get to the plan. Let me talk

305
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 2>about the detention center on Bogram Air Base. You see

306
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the men we were holding there were some of the

307
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:14.160
<v Speaker 2>most committed Jihadis on the planet. One of those men,

308
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:19.240
<v Speaker 2>he was an Isis guy. He had been previously captured

309
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.599
<v Speaker 2>in India. He was in India getting ready to carry

310
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.920
<v Speaker 2>out a terrorist attack in New Delhi. The Indians, by

311
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 2>the grace of God, found him first, grabbed him up,

312
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:35.000
<v Speaker 2>deported him. We got our hands on him and threw

313
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.279
<v Speaker 2>him in a cage in Bogram Air Base. When the

314
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Biden administration abandoned Bagram Air Base, imagine the moment the

315
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Taliban are walking through our air base and they come

316
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.119
<v Speaker 2>across this detention place with a bunch of committed demons

317
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 2>who were willing to commit murder against Americans. They grabbed

318
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the keys, open up the gates, and then there's a

319
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 2>meeting between ISIS between al Qaeda. They were part of this.

320
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:06.319
<v Speaker 2>In fact, the bin Laden family is part of this.

321
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Did you know this ISIS, al Qaeda and the Taliban

322
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 2>had high level meetings about planning an attack. How do

323
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 2>we hurt these Americans? How do we blow up these troops?

324
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Now back to our kokam Amy plan. Instead of an

325
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>air base which is very secure, and let me clarify

326
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.559
<v Speaker 2>this for civilian types who may not understand. Why is

327
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.920
<v Speaker 2>a military air base like Bogram secure but a civilian

328
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.759
<v Speaker 2>airport is not secure. A military air base is surrounded

329
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 2>by walls, surrounded by towers, and in order to gain

330
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.799
<v Speaker 2>entry to it, because we've learned over years and years

331
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.799
<v Speaker 2>and years of dealing withchie hotties, to gain entry to it,

332
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.279
<v Speaker 2>you don't just drive right up a road right up

333
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:58.519
<v Speaker 2>to the gate and maybe you get a big truck

334
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:00.680
<v Speaker 2>full of explosives and you blow through the gate or

335
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:02.680
<v Speaker 2>blow up the gate or something like that. No no, no, no, no,

336
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 2>no no, that's not how it works at all. You

337
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:09.839
<v Speaker 2>have different barrier systems set up that force vehicles to

338
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:16.319
<v Speaker 2>weave their way through gigantic concrete sandbag barriers. Cant Basically

339
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 2>you have prevented. You have prevented, for the most part,

340
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.839
<v Speaker 2>any kind of a large suicide bomb attack that can

341
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 2>hurt a lot of personnel inside the air base. Maybe

342
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:30.559
<v Speaker 2>you'll get the people guarding the gates. That certainly happens,

343
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.039
<v Speaker 2>but for the most part, the base is secured. We've

344
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.240
<v Speaker 2>learned how to avoid suicide tactics. But that has to

345
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.799
<v Speaker 2>be done not just with troops, because troops, all of them,

346
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 2>even the toughest in the world, they're just flesh and blood.

347
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:50.400
<v Speaker 2>It has to be done with hard infrastructure, walls, concrete pillboxes, sandbags, towers.

348
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:55.079
<v Speaker 2>This is how you protect yourself against gihatis, with suicide

349
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:58.839
<v Speaker 2>vests and trucks full of ammonium nitrate. This is how

350
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.480
<v Speaker 2>it is done, and that's what we had at Bagram.

351
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 2>But the geniuses in the Biden administration and the military

352
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.400
<v Speaker 2>and the State Department and the intelligence community, we can't

353
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:10.720
<v Speaker 2>let any of them off the hook. They just decided

354
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.359
<v Speaker 2>to open up the whole freaking thing and give it

355
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.640
<v Speaker 2>back to the Taliban. Now we have to go to

356
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.799
<v Speaker 2>the airport, the regular old civilian airport. Let me ask

357
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:29.559
<v Speaker 2>you something. Your airport, the airport in your community, how

358
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.160
<v Speaker 2>secure is it Oh no, no, don't get wrong. I

359
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>know there are metal detectives and things like that, But

360
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.240
<v Speaker 2>what's surrounding the airport in your area? Now, this is America.

361
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:43.559
<v Speaker 2>In your area. At best, at best, there is a

362
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:48.240
<v Speaker 2>chain link fence that is the ultimate security physically keeping

363
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:50.680
<v Speaker 2>people out of your airport runway. Am I off? Am

364
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I wrong about that?

365
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:51.759
<v Speaker 4>At all?

366
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:58.079
<v Speaker 2>At best, that's what you have. Now. We have legions

367
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:05.119
<v Speaker 2>of frightened people an airport that cannot possibly be properly secured,

368
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:12.359
<v Speaker 2>and we send Marines, sailors and army soldiers into there

369
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:17.039
<v Speaker 2>to try to sort through the mess. So the Biden

370
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:22.279
<v Speaker 2>administration doesn't have the bad optics they had four or

371
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>five days ago when Afghani's were dropping from the sky.

372
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:31.079
<v Speaker 2>We sent the troops in for optics, and we didn't

373
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:36.480
<v Speaker 2>give them at all the infrastructure they needed to ensure

374
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the worst couldn't happen. And while all this was going on,

375
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Taliban isis al Qaeda operatives were meeting figuring out how

376
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 2>to kill our guys. We'll continue next.

377
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.680
<v Speaker 5>Is the Jesse Kelly Show. That's not old man music, Chris,

378
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.319
<v Speaker 5>that's good music. You wouldn't know anything about that, You

379
00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.759
<v Speaker 5>gen z dark sorry. I get upset with Jewish producer

380
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 5>Chris sometimes when he insults Motown.

381
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Who doesn't like Motown? Everybody likes Motown. You're crazy, Chris.

382
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Back to what we were discussing. Don't distract me. We'll

383
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 2>get to other things emails. I'll move off this whenever

384
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm done with it. I'm not in a hurry. We're

385
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.640
<v Speaker 2>talking about what happened the fourth anniversary of Abbey Gate.

386
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.480
<v Speaker 2>So what did happen that day? First of all, don't

387
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:27.519
<v Speaker 2>think for one single second that we didn't know there

388
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:31.079
<v Speaker 2>were bad guys about, And don't think for a second

389
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:36.799
<v Speaker 2>that we didn't identify the bad guy before he incinerated

390
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:40.680
<v Speaker 2>thirteen of our troops with ball bearings. I'm going to

391
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:45.240
<v Speaker 2>play a couple things for you. United States Marine Corps

392
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Sergeant I believe he was Stat. Sargan, maybe was Sergeant

393
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Vargas Andrews. He's describing the attack here.

394
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 4>It was about seventeen thirty STAP Sergeant Darren Hoover's friend

395
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 4>and mentor.

396
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.680
<v Speaker 2>By the way, this is a minute in forty two seconds.

397
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I will interrupt it, just out of

398
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:06.119
<v Speaker 2>respect that if I have to clarify something, I may

399
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.119
<v Speaker 2>interrupt it, but I want him to have his piece.

400
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:11.880
<v Speaker 4>About seventeen thirty stap Sergeant Darren Hoover, friend and mentor,

401
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 4>came to get me from the tower to go help

402
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 4>find an Afghan interpreter in the crowd. We found the

403
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.880
<v Speaker 4>interpreter and his brother, born with American passports. They told

404
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:41.559
<v Speaker 4>us five told us of five family members still in

405
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.920
<v Speaker 4>the canal. I stayed there waiting for the family members,

406
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.640
<v Speaker 4>standing against a two foot canal wall. Ten minutes past.

407
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:54.640
<v Speaker 4>Then a flash and a massive wave of pressure. I'm

408
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 4>throwing twelve feet onto the ground, but instantly knew what

409
00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 4>had happened. I opened my eyes to marine's dead or

410
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:12.799
<v Speaker 4>conscious lying around me. A crowd of hundreds immediately vanished

411
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 4>in front of me, and my body was catastrophically wounded,

412
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.079
<v Speaker 4>with one hundred, one hundred and fifty ball bearings now

413
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.640
<v Speaker 4>in it. Almost immediately we started taking fire from the neighborhood,

414
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.680
<v Speaker 4>and I saw how injured I was, with my right

415
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:29.160
<v Speaker 4>arm completely shredded and unusable. I saw my lower abdomen

416
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:40.519
<v Speaker 4>soaked in blood. I crawled backwards seven feet, roughly seven

417
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:42.279
<v Speaker 4>feet because I thought I was still in harms away.

418
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.640
<v Speaker 4>My body was overwhelmed from the trauma of the blast.

419
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:48.440
<v Speaker 4>My abdomen had been ripped open. Every inch of my

420
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.359
<v Speaker 4>exposed body except from my face to ball bearings shrapnel.

421
00:28:54.240 --> 00:29:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Now, who was it that had that bomb? And could

422
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.960
<v Speaker 2>we have stopped it beforehand? Here he was?

423
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.440
<v Speaker 4>I requested for the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Brad Whited,

424
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:09.240
<v Speaker 4>to come to the tower to see what we did.

425
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:13.079
<v Speaker 4>While we waited for him, psychological operations individuals came to

426
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:15.839
<v Speaker 4>our tower immediately and confirmed the suspect met the suicide

427
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:19.319
<v Speaker 4>bomber description. He eventually arrived and we showed him our evidence,

428
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 4>the photos we had of the two men. We reassured

429
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 4>him of the ease of fire on the suicide bomber. Pointedly,

430
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 4>we asked him for engagement authority and permission. We asked

431
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.480
<v Speaker 4>him if we could shoot. Our battalion commander said, and

432
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.839
<v Speaker 4>I quote, I don't know end quote. Myself and my

433
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:35.640
<v Speaker 4>team leader asked, very harshly, well who does, because this

434
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:39.200
<v Speaker 4>is your responsibility, sir. He again replied he did not know,

435
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:41.720
<v Speaker 4>but would find out. We received no update and never

436
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.720
<v Speaker 4>got our answer. Eventually, the individual disappeared. To this day,

437
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 4>we believe he was a suicide bomber. We made everyone

438
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.960
<v Speaker 4>on the ground to where operations had briefly halted but

439
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 4>then started again, plain and simple, we were.

440
00:29:52.839 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 2>Ignored, ignored. Hey sir, here's a suicide bomb. Can I shoot?

441
00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:07.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, well could you? Could you maybe find out?

442
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Never gets back to his troops. This is another thing

443
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.160
<v Speaker 2>We're not just going to dump all over the Biden administration,

444
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.960
<v Speaker 2>which of course we are going to do. The military

445
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:24.279
<v Speaker 2>leadership in this country is a disgrace. The rot has

446
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:28.640
<v Speaker 2>been going on for years, in years and years, and

447
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:32.319
<v Speaker 2>now our brave troops on the ground are oftentimes led

448
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:36.720
<v Speaker 2>by the biggest bunch of scumbed, dork idiot losers in

449
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.759
<v Speaker 2>the country. You see that uniform that says general admiral

450
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:49.119
<v Speaker 2>in immediately your respect level goes up. I sneer because

451
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:54.559
<v Speaker 2>I assume that's a dirtball politician wearing a military uniform

452
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.279
<v Speaker 2>who would sell his troops up the river in a

453
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.720
<v Speaker 2>heartbeat if it meant one more star on his caller.

454
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:05.039
<v Speaker 2>That's what I assume, and I'm correct about ninety nine

455
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:08.759
<v Speaker 2>percent of the time in this country. How in the world,

456
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:14.640
<v Speaker 2>as a battalion commander, how does a battalion commander look

457
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.720
<v Speaker 2>at a Marine Corps scout sniper who had identified the

458
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 2>suicide bomber ahead of time, and say, I don't know.

459
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you right now. I had several battalion commanders

460
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.279
<v Speaker 2>in my four years in the Marine Corps, and every

461
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:32.119
<v Speaker 2>one of them, I guarantee you to a man would

462
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:36.440
<v Speaker 2>have said kill him immediately, I'll deal with the aftermath. No,

463
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:41.119
<v Speaker 2>go kill him, shoot him now. That's what I had

464
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.440
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand to two thousand and four. By the

465
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.279
<v Speaker 2>time twenty twenty came around, we get I don't know,

466
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.799
<v Speaker 2>I'll find out, and never even makes a phone call

467
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker 2>to come back, doesn't so much as get on the

468
00:31:55.079 --> 00:32:04.640
<v Speaker 2>radio and say leave. Says nothing pathetic. And after our

469
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:11.119
<v Speaker 2>thirteen warriors died, the American people, hoping that maybe briefly

470
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:15.559
<v Speaker 2>we had a commander in chief, waited for Joe Biden

471
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:19.720
<v Speaker 2>to take the podium that night. Joe Biden took the

472
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>podium that night after having thrown away the lives of

473
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 2>thirteen brave warriors. And this is how it went.

474
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Unattacked by a group known as vices K, took the

475
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 1>lives of American service members standing guard at the airport

476
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and wound it several others. Seriously, we have so much.

477
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:44.960
<v Speaker 2>To do.

478
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Within our capacity to do it. We just have to

479
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:58.960
<v Speaker 1>remain steadfast, steadfast, ladies and gentlemen. They gave me a

480
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:03.079
<v Speaker 1>list here. The first person I was instructed to call

481
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:05.799
<v Speaker 1>on was Kelly O'donnald NBC.

482
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker 2>They gave me a list here, the first person I

483
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:17.119
<v Speaker 2>was instructed to call on. Now, why were the communist

484
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:20.680
<v Speaker 2>animals in charge of the country, Why were they giving

485
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden specific instructions on which reporter to call on,

486
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Because even in the wake of the death of thirteen

487
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:34.240
<v Speaker 2>brave souls, they were still just worried about optics, still

488
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:39.559
<v Speaker 2>worried about poll numbers, still worried about approval ratings. We'll

489
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.119
<v Speaker 2>wrap this up and play taps for the Fallen next
