Starting point is 00:01:50 And, well, first we're going to make a quick stop, a little pit stop at the White House, see what the president's talking about. We don't even know if the president knows what he's talking about. In fact, chances are he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, but we'll discover that together in 60 seconds. So Michael lives in Connecticut. He wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory. He said Relief Factor helped me almost completely eliminate my elbow pain when I couldn't find any other
Starting point is 00:02:23 solution. I've been looking for a while. It's a great product. Even helped me a lot with my other aches and pains. Since I started taking Relief Factor, I feel like I have more energy. I generally feel better. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Relief Factor.

Starting point is 00:03:05 first three weeks it's probably not going to work for you do it now relief factor.com 800, 500883.84 Relieffactor.com 800, 58384. Wow. Wow, there's a there been a few things that have been happening this weekend.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Have you noticed, Stu? You noticed there was, you know, I just didn't, I didn't have time to check it out. But I guess there's some news. There's a new Jeopardy host maybe coming in. Is that what I was talking about? Yeah, that's crazy. What a story.
Starting point is 00:03:42 So the White House. had another briefing with with President Biden and he did really well he's doing very well this is a good performance for Joe he really is it really could you possibly have hoped for anything more I guess is my no I don't question oh I don't think about just the just the overall profile of the United States right now it's going well really really well he's doing a great job well some people are questioning his credibility cut 11 please here he is because some Americans
Starting point is 00:04:17 doubt that he may be all there and here's a reporter asking about that because the United States is now negotiating with the Taliban over airport access and such do you now trust them
Starting point is 00:04:33 and then a question on the public response a new poll out today shows Americans wanted to withdraw from Afghanistan but it is a from the way you've handled. Poll also found that based in part, what's transpired in the last week, the majority of Americans,
Starting point is 00:04:49 and forgive me, I'm just the messenger, no longer consider you to be competent, focused, or effective in the job. I haven't seen that poll. On CBS this one. What would you say to those Americans who no longer believe they- Look, I had a basic decision to make.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I'm not. I either withdraw, America from a 20-year war. Okay. That depending on whose analysis you accept cost us $150 million a day for 20 years or $300 million a day for 20 years. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Who, 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. Either increased the number of 448 Americans, We keep there and keep that going. All right, end the war. And I decided to end the war. 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.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Had this been in another... He goes on to say, yeah, he goes on to say, and I stand by my decision. No, the question isn't why were we in Afghanistan? or even if we should leave Afghanistan. We're questioning whether we should have left it the way we did. It's like, sir, you ran over 47 kindergartners in the playground. I only had two options. Park in the playground and possibly hit kids or park in the playground and hit kids.
Starting point is 00:06:36 That was my only option. Previously, you made the case that you didn't need to eat breakfast, so that's why you were out. And you keep defending your need for breakfast, but we're questioning why you pulled through to the McDonald's through the Kindergartener. I only had one option, and that was kill kids. That was, and I'm proud of my choice on that, but I only had one option. No, you really didn't. You had other. We're not questioning whether you needed an egg mix.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Muffin. We're questioning why you pulled through. I was powerfully hungry. I know. Powerfully hungry. And I could either starve to death or kill those children. And I didn't like either option. And so I killed the children.
Starting point is 00:07:23 We're questioning your route. We question why you went through the playground. I'm telling you I was going to starve to death or kill children. I'm proud of my, let's move on here. Uh, so, um, he, uh, he, also said, can we play cut cut two please? What is your message to the
Starting point is 00:07:44 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? I have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world. Whoa, hang on just a second. Stop just a second. I have.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Have you? I have. In fact um, no, num, um, watch this one. This is a minister of parliament
Starting point is 00:08:11 just last week calling into question President Biden. Listen. This isn't just about us. The mission in Afghanistan wasn't a British mission. It was a NATO mission.
Starting point is 00:08:27 It was a recognition that globalization has changed us all. 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. We are connected still today.
Starting point is 00:08:49 And Afghanistan is not a far country about which we know little. It is part of the main. That connection links us also to our European partners, to our European neighbours. and to our international friends. And so it is, with great sadness, that I now criticize one of them. Uh-oh. Because I was never prouder than when I was decorated
Starting point is 00:09:20 by the 82nd Airborne after the capture of Musa Kahla. It was a huge privilege, a huge privilege to be recognized by such an extraordinary unit in combat. To see their commander-in-chief, call into question the courage of men I fought with, to claim that they were ran. It's shameful. Those who have never fought for the colors they fly should be careful about criticizing those who have.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Whoa. By the way, that is right before they held Biden in contempt. So, I don't know. I think when Parliament says, we got to hold you in contempt of Parliament. I think that's criticism. 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. Because you kind of believe he's unaware of everything. I was unaware that I wasn't wearing pants when I killed all those kids to get an egg McMuffin. They're like, okay, well, he probably didn't know. Really?
Starting point is 00:10:36 We could be hard on the guy, but he probably didn't know he didn't have pants on him. Right. And speaking of that, here's, here's Secretary Blinken. answering that question, does he have any idea of what's really going on? Does the Secretary, does the President not know what's going on? This is an incredibly emotional time for many of us, and including allies and partners, who've been shoulder to shoulder with us in Afghanistan for 20 years at high cost to themselves as well as to us.
Starting point is 00:11:08 They stood with us after 9-11. Hold on. Just take your bets right now. I'm taking bets. Have you heard this clip before? No. Have you heard this clip before? Okay. So I got two people in here. Do either of you vote that he actually answers the question? No, of course. Yeah, it does. Okay. All right, go ahead. NATO for the first time, an attack on one is an attack on all. And we've been there together. But I've got to tell you this, Chris, from the get-go, I've spent more time with our NATO partners in Brussels virtually, from before the President made his decision to when he made his decision, to every time since. We've been working very, very closely together. We've gotten the G7 together, NATO together, the UN Security Council together.
Starting point is 00:11:47 We had 113 countries, thanks to our diplomacy, put out a clear understanding of the Taliban's requirements to let people leave the country. requirements, the Taliban requirements, it makes me sick. At least he spent a lot of virtual time in Brussels, though. There's nothing like the virtual time you spend in Brussels. Oh my gosh. The virtual strolls along the Sen when I was virtually in Paris with my virtual wife.
Starting point is 00:12:15 It was a memory to hold dear. It really was a memory to hold dear. He didn't really answer the question. He didn't answer the question at all. What he was saying was, we got other people. Right. We have other people. Don't, I mean, we don't need the president.
Starting point is 00:12:30 We have other people. That's their answer. And honestly, that's a better answer than saying he's actually involved in this. It really is. Look, look. The president eats pudding almost 24 hours a day. And once in a while, Kamala comes in and goes, hello. How are you doing it?
Starting point is 00:12:50 And then she leaves. And that's all the president is doing. so America can relax. He was out of Nilla Wafers for a short time, but now he's okay. And it got ugly. It got ugly. That's when this all happened. But now we make sure.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Okay. Okay. So we got him. We got them. And strangely, we also pulled out of Afghanistan without doing anything logically. But that's. that's just us and we're fully aware. We are fully competent.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I mean, it's really bad when they say, look, we did all the. First of all, they're lying. They're lying. You worked closely with the allies. How come the British Prime Minister tried to get a hold of our president for 40 hours? 40. It's not like 40 minutes. It's 40 hours.
Starting point is 00:13:51 You know, nuclear missiles, they fly. in 12 minutes we're all dead. That's scary. 40 hours. It's scary when you think of it like that. Because as bad as a president as Joe Biden is, the fact that we don't actually seem to have a president is in some ways more scary. He doesn't seem to be engaged in this situation at all.
Starting point is 00:14:12 He keeps coming out in front of people and saying things that there's video from not like us. It's not like the blaze is breaking these stories. The New York Times. the CBS news, ABC News, footage of people being beaten in the streets, footage of all these things happening
Starting point is 00:14:31 and they ask him, he's like, no, we have no reason to believe the Taliban is not letting people through. What are you talking about? Wait a minute. That's just, that's not the president saying that alone.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Play cut one. Here's the State Department. The defense secretary told congressional leaders that Americans were beating there. So, and you confirm that first off, and this is a, the first indication of what yet to come by the Taliban.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Again, every single report, whether it is an American citizen and we take, we are in direct contact with American citizens, we take those extraordinarily seriously, or the reports we're seeing about at-risk Afghans who may be impeded. We take those extraordinarily seriously. It's difficult for us to speak to reports that are anecdotal that may be on social media. The reports we can speak to are those. Secretary told congressional leaders according to politics. The reports we can speak to are those reports that we have heard firsthand because we are in regular, constant communication with American citizens on the ground, providing them guidance, providing them instructions.
Starting point is 00:15:40 So oftentimes we do know the most about what American citizens are faring. Ah, so trust the experts is what they're saying. We know better because we're talking to people. and we can't these rumors online. You just trust us. By the way, after the press conference where Biden said almost exactly the same thing, ABC News, you know, that right-wing news organization.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Right. The correspondence described Biden's lies on this and others as, quote, breathtaking and completely out of touch with the reality facing the U.S. citizens and Afghan allies still trapped in the country. Quote, the president said he has no intelligence that Americans have been unable to get there. The question obviously does not square with the reporting on the ground. I mean, it's just totally not.
Starting point is 00:16:41 I mean, the reaction was pretty much one of, I mean, it's just breathtaking. End quote. I think what he was trying to say was the president is lying. Or he is completely senile. Now, I don't know why we think that the State Department, maybe senility, they should wear masks. It's a good point for me to bring up that there is a T-shirt, Sinility Now, available with Joe Biden's stupid face. Oh, we also have the new one up, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, man of the year, Taliban Joe Biden. It's like a nice time cover.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Oh, it's very nice. It's a great mug, a great t-shirt available at stu-doesmerch.com. I will say it's a pretty fun one. And I think he should win. 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. I think we're going to cover those ceremonies on a coming Glenn Beck program. Ah, I like that.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Yes. All right. Patriot Mobile. 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. Not to speak is to speak. Not to stand is to stand. We know what they're doing. But what if you didn't have to pay more? In fact, you'd be paying less. And what if instead of lower quality service, you could get the same cell service because they're all on the same towers anyway.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Here's the good news. The service you're looking for is Patriot Mobile. Verizon. Not the service you're looking for. No. Not only do they have affordable and customizable plans. It can fit any budget for any family, but they also have great service,
Starting point is 00:18:38 superior customer service, and maybe most importantly of all, they donate a portion of your bill to conservative American causes, like the offense of life and defense of the Second Amendment and the First Amendment. Heck, all of the Amendment.

I need confirmation on what I can tell you about what is happening on the ground with the Nazarene Fund. So I'm expecting that to come in at any time. Let me just say this. It is very busy. And there are some, I mean, massive, massive miracles that happened over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:19:54 That just the odds of these things happening, I mean, it's clearly this is a God event. and 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. 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. I also don't want to tell stories. All of them will be told. But we're going to have to wait until after we get everybody out. but some amazing good things and unbelievable bad things about some people involved and that will come out.
Starting point is 00:20:43 That will come out. Oh, wow. It's not going to be good. How was your weekends, Stu? Well, if I was one of those people, it would not be not be positive looking ahead. But it was good. I mean, I, I, you have to remember to separate yourself occasionally from how terrible things are going on and you try to do that and with your family and your kids on the weekend. But right now it's overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:21:12 It's overwhelming. 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. I've never seen anything like this. This is catastrophic every day. I keep thinking to myself, what is actually going on? Why are they acting like this? There has to be something we don't know here. Has to be something we don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Biden has like a 49 or 50% approval rating still. These first ones are going to be underwater now, though. Yeah. I mean, it's dropped a lot. Yeah, but I'm just wondering, who are those people? Right. Who, I mean, seriously, I could, you could say, well, global warming is very important to me and blah, la, la. Really?
Starting point is 00:21:59 You approve of the way he's handling the presidency? You don't have any credibility at all to critique anyone else if you can't say this is completely out of control. I've never seen anything like this. In my lifetime, this is completely out of control. And I wonder how many in the administration? actually know that and kind of cheer for it. Life luck. If you think the big companies you do business with can't have data breaches because, you know, they're big companies.

Talibanjo, man of the year. Get your T-shirt and mug now at Stu Doesmerch.com. So Biden has it handled. In fact, you know, the sycophants at ABC,
Starting point is 00:24:10 I mean, they even pointed out how correct he was. Listen to this. You're reporting early yesterday from the Kabul airport was frankly terrifying. We didn't talk to you in person because you were being chased out of the airport in a armored car. And you even had it much easier than the average Afghan, right? So President Biden has basically said now, hey, it was a really chaotic scene four or five days ago. He took control. He said to make it more orderly.
Starting point is 00:24:33 From what you've been seeing, does that hold water? It's just not true. I mean, what has happened? what is fair to say is that they took control of the military side of the airport. They secured the perimeter. They managed to move all those people we saw on the runway, those tragic scenes of people clinging on to C-17s. But they didn't just go home.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Of course they didn't. I mean, there are thousands and thousands of people down there. It is a very scary, wild and dangerous place. Oh. Well, other than that, other than that, just like Biden said. I should say I think that was Friday. So every report says it's deteriorated since then. So that was the high water mark of our effort here.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Of course. Of course. We have people on the ground now in Kabul. And it is not good. Let me just give you a couple of things here. I'm just reading around what I can. Between 20,000 and 40,000 refugees are outside of the gates trying to. get in. The DOD on
Starting point is 00:25:42 Saturday was not allowing anyone in. 16,000 people were stranded inside inside the gates at the terminal and on the tarmac waiting for flights. They
Starting point is 00:25:58 the Taliban is just checking if this. The Taliban is using biometrics along the northern border to ID Afghans who worked for the coalition forces and killing them. Now, gee, how are they getting the biometric information on those people? That's, uh, huh. That's weird, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:26:23 That's weird. I wonder if we, oh, we did leave all of that information, didn't we? Oh, yeah, it was us again. Shoot. Yeah, that's, uh, that kind of sucks. You know, it's not being mentioned at all is that the vice-price. president of Afghanistan did not flee the country and was saying
Starting point is 00:26:42 hey, I'm over here. Wait a minute. I'm part of the government. Trying to organize a resistance. Yeah, trying to organize a government and a resistance and we're completely ignoring it. The Taliban says.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Who cares what the Taliban says? Did you see that the Taliban issued a red line to the United States government today? Yeah. A red line. Do not cross this red line. Or else. Or else. What?
Starting point is 00:27:09 What are we talking about here? I know. We let the clip a minute ago and they're like, well, we were trying to deal with the Afghan, the Taliban requirements. The Taliban requirements? Who? We're the United States of America. They don't require things of us. What is happening?
Starting point is 00:27:26 It's madness. And, you know, like a few people put together an armed resistance in northern, some of the northern districts. Not with any of the military equipment that we left behind. No, the Taliban has it all. Right. They put together a small little resistance and drove them out of their villages. Why are we doing that throughout the whole country? Why aren't we doing that at the gates of the airport?
Starting point is 00:27:54 Right. It is, it's sick. It is really sick what's happening. By the way, CBS News, they have finally, finally given us something crystal clear that, uh, on who to blame for the Taliban. Uh, 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. Um, the, um, they claim that climate change is partially to blame for the rise of the Taliban. Now, when I read that first, I thought Babylon beat, right?
Starting point is 00:28:38 No, CBS News. CBS News. That was a serious point is what you're saying. It was a serious point. You know, if that's what, you know. Well, the only thing you can do when the temperature rises, 0.9 degrees, no matter what the cause is, is turn to Islamists. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Yeah. That's usually what you do. That's pretty much what you do. Yeah. My crop has died. What do I do? Go to the Taliban. Let's go murder some girls.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Yeah. Right. You know what I mean? That's the normal response. Sharia law? That's a good idea. It's the only alternative to climate change. Hey, here's another one.
Starting point is 00:29:12 I don't know if we covered this in our agreement with the Taliban, but this should have been a big don't do this to the Taliban, one of our little red lines. One of America's most wanted terrorist with a $5 million bounty on his head is in Kabul. He's reappeared. and he is now one of the Taliban leaders mapping out the future of the country. His name is Khalil Harkani and he has pledged a new era for Afghanistan. He was leading prayers for the Taliban fighters at a mosque there in Kabul.
Starting point is 00:29:51 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. They have been designated. as a foreign terrorist group by the United States and United Nations. Despite their reputation, they are expected to be a powerful player in the new regime following the Taliban's takeover in Afghanistan. Another key leader of the Harkani network is Anus Harkani.
Starting point is 00:30:23 That is a good name. Now, some might say it's pronounced anass, but I think it's anus Harkhani. Uh-huh. He was also, Anus was in the capital on Friday. He runs a, Anus runs a shadowy group. That's not a surprise to me. Yeah, one of the most powerful networks behind the Taliban. And, you know, they've been on the jihad since the Soviets were in.
Starting point is 00:30:57 And now they're, you know, we, the CIA. used them as an asset. As an asset, anus and his group. It was an asset for the CIA. That's good. Yeah. We were involved in that one too, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Do you guys see the picture of the Taliban before and after the CIA training? No. You didn't see that photo? No. On the top was the Taliban all gathered together with their AK-47s with their fingers on the triggers. Post-CIA, they all had the fingers off the trigger and in the safety position.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Yes. Oh, that's good. Yes. So the CIA trained them not to put their fingers on the trigger unless you're going to shoot somebody. And I think that's what they do now. Should they have tried to train them to not shoot the nine-year-old children? Yes, they probably should have.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I'm going to say yes on that one. That was in the next lesson. But we needed to get out of there. We needed to get out of there. Did you see the mock of Iwojima? Yeah. You see this still? I don't know that I did.
Starting point is 00:32:02 I have the military uniforms now. This is them in our military uniforms and all of our assets. This is them mocking Iwo Jima, raising the flag. My gosh, is that real Taliban flag. The Taliban flag over, yeah, it is. I mean, this is so embarrassing. They're mocking us. They're mocking us.
Starting point is 00:32:25 I can't believe that Twitter is still allowing them. Facebook's still allowing them. I mean, the Taliban has a meme department now, and they're mocking us? I saw an article that said, how can you cancel forever the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, but you have the Taliban leadership up there? Well, they're following the rules of Twitter. They're following the rules of Twitter. Oh. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Huh. All right. Wow. I can't. I just don't even know how to... Keep them up there, I guess. Whatever. By the way, a flashback back to 2010 letter back in the found in 2010 revealed that Al-Qaeda targeted President Barack Obama, but not Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Because Osama bin Laden considered Biden to be an incompetent fool that would lead the, U.S. into crisis. What? Where do you get that? He had forbidden al-Qaeda from trying to assassinate Joe Biden because he considered the then vice president to be incompetent. It was likely to lead the U.S. into a crisis if he were to assume the presidency. That era, Joe Biden was incompetent. What is this era, Joe Biden? Incontinent as well.
Starting point is 00:33:53 All right. David versus Goliath. Let's talk about Goliath for a moment. here. You and I both know Hollywood isn't your friend nor your families. Pretty obvious, no matter how good the story is. Can you watch these shows with your kids? It says something to violence, to course, to adult, whatever it is. Let me tell you about a service called Vid Angel. Vid Angel is the little rock in the slingshot.

We're glad you hear. Larry Elder looks like it's the real deal now in California. He is making his real progress.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And one of the reasons why we think he is the absolute real deal is they are coming after him with guns of blazing. Yeah, he seems to be winning most of these polls if Gavin Newsom gets recalled. And as of right now, Newsom seems to be a very slight favorite to remain in office. Unbelievable. But barely. And again, you have to take into context. First of all, this is California.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Second of all, he was way ahead not too long ago. So the fact that it's close now is pretty remarkable. And it's only a few points. if the way it works, if you have the first question, do you want Gavin Newsom to stay or not? If no wins, then it goes to this secondary ballot,
Starting point is 00:36:42 which is I think 42 candidates, something like that. It's dozens of candidates. But Larry Elder seems to be the favorite out of that group. There's a guy who used to be the mayor of San Diego, who's another Republican, who's trying to make a run at this because he's a little bit more moderate
Starting point is 00:36:58 and maybe more in the, in the, I don't know, maybe the Schwarzenegger winning mode. I don't know that he would necessarily say that he's Schwarzenegger, but he's, you know, trying to say elders should resign because of all these things they're trying to bring up from elders past. Oh, shut up. Now, this is typical. You know, Gavin Newsom's defense here is basically to say it's either me or Larry Elder
Starting point is 00:37:20 because Larry is obviously actually a conservative. I mean, he's been a conservative for a really long time. Correct. So, you know, Newsom is betting. I can win this just by scaring people away from Larry Elder. Oh, calling him the most dangerous blackface. I think he called him blackface in Fort California and was going to just destroy the black neighborhoods and black families.
Starting point is 00:37:50 And that's different. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's different than most left-wing states who love their governor who has blackface. That's usually a white person, though. Exactly. Yes. That has black face. that's different.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Right. This is actually an African-American person. They're trying to come after him. He has a ex-fiancee that has come out and spoken out against him, saying that they had some domestic dispute in the past. He denies it. It's really hard to drill down to know anything about these last-minute accusations in a political campaign like this, as we know.
Starting point is 00:38:21 There's also, the other thing about Larry Elder, which is why a lot of talk show hosts don't run for public office. is because even if they're really smart and they know a lot about the issues, they've said basically everything. They're on the air for multiple hours a day. So everyone can go through your old shows and try to dig out comments that don't sound so good now as compared to when you said them. And that's what they're trying to do to elder as well. They're trying to come out and say he's been insensitive to women in the past and all the things you'd expect from Gavin Newsom and the people who surround him.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Try to take him out of context and they don't care. They don't really care about any of that. No, do not care at all. But you can tell the difference in stance from Gavin Newsom how seriously he's taking this. For months, we had the guys on who were putting this together, who launched this recall, and basically were laughed at by the media, by Gavin Newsom, who ignored them completely for months and months and months, assuming the blue state of California would rescue him. And they didn't.
Starting point is 00:39:32 In fact, they joined in a lot on the recall. Look, you can't win a statewide election in California as a Republican with Republican votes. You need Democrats. You need independents to come on board. And people have looked at this and said, look, he's done a terrible job. Newsom's done a bad job throughout this thing. And then he's breaking his own rules. He's subjecting us to.
Starting point is 00:39:55 And I can't believe that he's. is actually not going to do a debate. I mean, it would be in his best interest to stay way away from Larry Elder because Larry will be terrible. Well,
Starting point is 00:40:09 one of the interesting parts about this is the Democrats decided to protect Newsom by not putting a legitimate Democrat on the ballot. If you remember Cruz Bustamante who was like a halfway legitimately known Democrat
Starting point is 00:40:22 who was an actual option for Democrats to vote for in the recall when Schwarzenegger was running. They have no one. They have like a YouTuber who's like a real estate investor is the number one Democrat.
Starting point is 00:40:33 So the Democrats don't really have anyone to line up with because they're trying to protect Newsom. You better vote for Newsom or you're not going to get a Democrat. So it's a huge risk by the Democrats in California by not running someone who could legitimately win the election. I'm praying for Larry Elder in all ways. An update from the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:40:58 The Nazarene. Fund. Next. Let me hold off on our commercial because it is, we are, the man who is waiting is extraordinarily busy in the middle of trying to save Christians. Rudy is our, our CEO of the Nazarene Fund. Rudy, welcome. How are you? Thanks, Grant. Good to hear your voice. Good to hear you. Can you give us an update? You're on the air, by the way. Give us an update. on everything you can. Yes. So we're getting our first 340 passengers out as we speak.
Starting point is 00:41:42 The plane is getting ready to take off. It's on the ground. It's on the ground and being loaded? Yes, it is. Okay, good. So that's good news. A lot of the people that are boarding are extremely dehydrated. We had to move aprons because the tarmac is covered in feces.
Starting point is 00:42:01 there are over 16,000 people inside the airfield. It's an absolute mess. The outside gate was just closed because of IED threats from ISIS. Taliban are blocking people on the outside perimeter of the airport and not allowing them through. President Biden says that there's no harm coming to U.S. citizens or people they're trying to get in, that they're not being beaten by the Taliban or anything else.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Can you think that's quivocally false. Everything that's come out of this, this, this administration has been nothing but lies. Right now, our biggest obstruction has not been, has not been, you know, our ability to extract people, but it's been the U.S. State Department that's, that's been obstructing. We, we cannot get a single person in the State Department of the diplomatic front. However, however, right now, we, you know, different countries that want to take people or have agreed to take people are requesting diplomatic notes from the State Department that, when they arrive, you know, one, two, three will happen.
Starting point is 00:43:08 And the State Department keeps telling us we will not write any notes. We will not give you any support whatsoever. So we're in the middle of diplomatic wrangling's trying to figure out when we go rotate people in, rotate planes in to take them out where we're going to take them to next destination. So we're in concert talking to. We have countries that will take them. Why is our State Department not willing to say, yes, you can move them? they've been the biggest obstruction. I mean, guys in DOD that I'm working with are leaning forward in the saddle to help us, but the State Department not a single soul in there is being helpful whatsoever. I understand a lot of congressmen and senators are angry. They're writing letters and they're trying to get things moving, but it's been extremely slow. I've never, ever in my entire life, seen anything so messed up and so discombobulated. It's just, it's just been a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:44:03 for us. But we're determined to get people out. I mean, we're figuring out different angles, different ways. The threat keeps increasing every single day for the people not and not only from, you know, from the different radical groups on the ground, but we're talking about dehydrations, people who are sick with medical conditions. And, you know, there's no food and water, no bathrooms, like I said. So, you know, every second I hear different stories. of Air Force wanting to send planes. They're focusing on American citizens, getting American citizens out, but we also have the SIVs and people who helped us.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Until we clear the airfield from the inside, we can't bring people from the outside in. So that's the biggest dilemma right now. So that's the part that we're trying to solve as fast as we can. How fast is the military transport planes going in and out? there are some planes coming in I heard there's going to be a fairly big rotation of military planes coming in today but focused on American citizens
Starting point is 00:45:10 I have not confirmed that yet I'm trying to confirm it and I'll be jumping on some phone calls afterwards but it's it's been I mean the problem is normally when you do a non-combatant evacuation you put the Department of Defense in charge and then basically the State Department backbenches and supports.
Starting point is 00:45:32 In this case, it's flipped around. So the State Department is trying to run the show, and the Department of Defense is in the back as backbenching. That's why it's gotten so messed up. And the State Department is providing zero support, zero help. Are other operations outside continuing outside of the airport? We're working. I mean, we're working on that diligently.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It's just, you know, the threats are so high right now and getting worse. So, you know, without disclosing much, we're working on one piece of it. And we're coming up with lots of different options as we focus our attention on the airport at the same time. Okay, so do we have the first plane ready to take off here in just a few minutes? minutes. What time should that be taking off? Do you know? I think we only have a half hour on the ground, don't we? No, no. We have a little bit longer than the ground. It's going to be closer to an hour and a half, two hours. But, but, yeah. Is that going to be followed by another one? Are we in a system yet of being able to rotate them? We have, perhaps on top, but we are in the middle of trying to sort out,
Starting point is 00:47:03 diplomatic issue on the other end, but we have to clear any more people coming in. And that's all because of the State Department. The State Department could take care of this right now. Oh, absolutely, but nobody's stepping forward. I mean, we spent that in, I haven't slept in three days. It's all we've been doing is calling people and trying to get, to get this issue sorted out. My objective has been, you know, let's get them out of Afghanistan, wherever we take them, and then deal with the aftermath there. 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. And then it sits on a tarmac and, you know, with a bunch of passengers who are dying of dehydration in the back. And then you make matters worse.
Starting point is 00:47:51 So we're trying to sort that out all at the same time. All right. what can we do here that would help? Should we call our senators? Should we, what can we do? Call senators, call congressmen, 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. 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. And we also, we're asking for the State Department to give these planes what?
Starting point is 00:48:34 Diplomatics. Go ahead. Yes. We want, 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 step. destination, 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,
Starting point is 00:49:01 you know, time to cycle in other aircraft that come in and take them to final destination. Okay, good. Thank you very much, Rudy. And God bless you. We are praying for you and millions are praying for all of the people involved on your team. Thank you. Thank you for all your support. You bet.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Bye-bye. Trudy Atali, he is the CEO of the Nazarene Fund. He was on the National Security Council for presidents past and been in the Air Force for, I don't even know, 30 years, and is a remarkable, remarkable man. So here's what I'd like to do. And if we could get one of our producers on the phone, let's get Ricky and Sarah start to man the phone. Let's get some of these senators and congressmen that we know on the phone and on the air. We need
Starting point is 00:49:59 you to call your senators and congressmen. There's some things that are going on that you will find out about later. We're trying not to ruffle feathers until we can get people out. There's no reason to finger point until we get things out. But the State Department is a problem, is a big problem. And we need those members of Congress to move.
Starting point is 00:50:32 This is one of the hardest, most heartbreaking things I have ever been involved in. I get good news, and then the rug is ripped out from underneath me. The way this is being handled is insanity. Absolute insanity. I've seen government operations. And government operations don't always go your way, but they at least will make sense, if it's a military operation,
Starting point is 00:51:08 it will at least make sense to some degree. This makes no sense on what is going on. and we're a week into it and they're still doing this. We have, what is it, nine days? Is it nine days to the 31st? I don't even know the date today. It's 23rd today. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:28 So we are running out of time. And as he's saying, it's getting worse on the ground. They are becoming more and more emboldened. And we have to get these people out. And we have the planes on. standby. We have everything ready. 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. We have people that are in grave, grave danger right now, trying to get people to the airport.
Starting point is 00:52:08 You will be amazed when you hear this whole story. but we need you to call your senators and congressmen right now 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 to allow the UAE to take these people uh and hold them for 10 days until they can go someplace else. We've already coordinated all of these other countries. We have everything we need. We have absolutely everything we need, except the Taliban is holding the gates and stopping us from bringing in some people. We're working on workarounds for that.
Starting point is 00:53:08 And then the other obstacle, and these are the two, the Taliban and our. state department. We already have everything else we need. We have the countries where they are going to be accepted, where they'll be gladly taken.
Starting point is 00:53:27 We have places for them to hold until they go to their final destination. We have it all. We don't have all of the people because the Taliban, as Rudy just said, the president
Starting point is 00:53:42 is lying to you. He is lying to you. They are beating people at the gates. The other obstacle is our State Department. I believe it's one and the same. 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. Okay. Let me tell you a couple of our sponsors here. I had to skip the first commercial. So give me two minutes and we're back into the show. 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 they'd wake up in sunny California in pain. And then they'd go to bed still feeling it. Desperately, they tried potential solution after potential solution and everything let them down. At the end, of the day they were still both in pain finally yvonne heard about relief factor while listening to
Starting point is 00:54:50 some clown on the radio uh and decided to give it a try what did she have to lose well evan wrote to me she said not too long after they both began to take it things changed all of a sudden they weren't waking up in pain anymore and then they weren't going to bed in pain anymore she said thanks for giving us our life back relief factor relief factor is not a drug developed by doctors 70% of the people who try it go on to order more that three week trials trial pack you just start for three weeks if it's not working for you stop taking it but 70% of the people go on to order more relief factor.com 800 50088384 it's relief factor dot com also let me tell you about my patriot supply um with everything that is going on in the
Starting point is 00:55:45 the world today. Sorry, it just came to me how these people are living at the airport now, and they have nothing. They have nothing. And they just grabbed what they could and got to the airport. Now, now they're hungry. They don't have water. They don't have food. They don't have anything. May I suggest that the things that we are seeing around the world, I hope to God they never get this bad, but they are trending in that direction. If you're not prepared for food shortages or moving quickly, believe me, they can happen. I strongly suggest that now is the time to make sure your family is ready in the time of crisis, and that means checking out my Patriot Supply, the number one emergency preparedness company in the country.

Starting point is 00:57:22 10 seconds station ID let me let me give you some good news Allison Rigno she is a Harvard graduate she has a master's degree in international relations U.S. space policy
Starting point is 00:57:50 she's watching the girls robotic team the Afghan girls robotic team and she knew she had to do something So she flew into Qatar just a couple of weeks ago. She made a hellmary phone call to a former roommate at the U.S. embassy there and said,
Starting point is 00:58:17 we have to help get these girls to safety because the Taliban is advancing. And if they get there, they're not going to be killed. well she had been in contact with the team the girls are 16 to 18 years old 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 and used to I mean that was that would be like a bad sci-fi convention in the past now it's serious 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.
Starting point is 00:59:07 They were grateful to the United States, et cetera, et cetera. 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. The first step she took was to call Jim Inhoff from Oklahoma. and she said the lead went cold, then the senator became overwhelmed with the need to help our American citizens. So she decided to try herself. I remembered my former roommate in D.C. a couple of years ago transferred to Qatar in the embassy. She wrote up a request.
Starting point is 00:59:44 I got all of the passports together. She went back to the embassy at midnight, worked all night to prepare the documents and packets for the girls. She said it was chaotic trying to get the girls. girls out, we're in a sea of chaos with 8 million people and a city halfway around the world. She said, it was a very narrow window of opportunity. 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. It's now or ever.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Now or never. And she said, sometimes in life you only get one chance. Well, she took the one chance. After one flight was canceled, 10 girls boarded. the next flight from the American side of the Kabul airport. And 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. According to NBC News,
Starting point is 01:00:44 she's still trying to get 25 more girls from the team to safety. I don't know if you saw the women's soccer team last week. Did you see what they had to do? they said delete all pictures of you in a uniform playing soccer get rid of anything that you have burn it burn your uniform do not have anything that connects you to the to the national soccer team because women are not even allowed into stadiums you know you know it's on the heels of the boy who 17 year old fell out of the plane was one of the soccer players as well.
Starting point is 01:01:27 It's really incredible. Incredible. It's really incredible. We have our borders open here and our state department is not being helpful with bringing people from Afghanistan here or
Starting point is 01:01:42 anywhere else in the world. Man, I wish getting people onto a plane where they're going to be welcomed by other people was as easy as some other things in life.

Starting point is 01:03:20 Thank you so much for listening. 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. I don't know when they changed entirely. But we don't leave people behind. We don't surrender to the Taliban. We don't take red lines from the Taliban. They issued a red line order.
Starting point is 01:03:52 You have your people out by October 31st or else, or August 31st, or else, excuse me, or else what exactly? I mean, you want to clear the gates. You strafe them with a couple of fighter jets. That's it. You don't shoot at them. You just fly really fast, very low. It will freak them out. But we don't do those things. There was a disturbing order, a disturbing order that was issued this weekend that you need to know. As Biden is saying, we're not sure if we can get everybody out by the 31st.
Starting point is 01:04:41 he went to the Pentagon and said, fix it. 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. They don't have food service, bathrooms and things like that. So they needed airplanes. 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?
Starting point is 01:05:24 What should what should the president of the United States do? I mean, get it done without any restrictions. Get it done. You're the president of the United States. Figure it out. Get new ones. I would think that the president of the United States would call up the air. airlines and say, hey, can you guys fly some planes over there? We'll protect and, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:50 we'll cover the insurance and everything else. But can you just fly not into Kabul, but into where we're going to be dropping these people? And then you pick them up at the airport and we'll tell you where to fly them. And that was, there were some reports that they were trying to do some of those things. How'd that work out? Well, well, Friday, the Pentagon said that, you know, we're probably going to order you to do this. And then on Sunday, the Pentagon and the White House decided to use a really old law that hadn't been used for about 70 years just to just to take the airplanes. They're telling them now you have to provide X number of airlines. United Airlines, we need X number of planes from you.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Southwest, we need planes from you. And they're under orders now to do it. So private companies under the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, which was created for the Berlin airlift, now are under orders from the United States government. You have to surrender this many jets and personnel. Get over there. I think asking them would have been really good. And I think asking them, and if they didn't do it, say, okay, well, I just want you to know,
Starting point is 01:07:20 I'm going to be making a big deal out of those airlines that help. I'm going to get on tonight. They would say no. They couldn't say no. They wouldn't have said no. So now the government has come in and forced these airlines, a private company. This is what part of totalitarianism do we not understand? What part of authoritarian fascistic kind of moves?
Starting point is 01:07:48 When does that actually apply? Great article in the Federalists this weekend about the definition of fascism. When does it actually begin to apply? Mussolini said fascism is everything in the state. nothing outside of the state and nothing against the state okay everything in the state nothing outside the state have you tried to talk about sports without it becoming political yeah have you tried to talk about school without it becoming political have you tried to talk about science without it becoming political medicine without it being political television
Starting point is 01:08:32 without it being political, news, without it becoming political. Everything in our life is now everything in the state and nothing outside of the state. And try to say things against the state. Nothing against the state. We are here. We are here. We are at the very edge of it. We're all doing it right now because we watch and monitor our conversations.
Starting point is 01:09:11 We realize that's, I can't really say that. That'll get me canceled. Jen Saki 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. They're back channeling with media organizations. on how to handle COVID and everything else. If they can't get it done, they're using private companies to get it done. This is how it, this is how it begins. This is what it is.
Starting point is 01:10:03 The great thing is we are all individuals. See, the problem is that our system is different than all other systems. systems in the world. All other systems believe that the experts and the political elite, they know better and they'll take care of everything. Well, they don't. And when you have that system, there's nowhere to run because they are everything, everything in the state, nothing outside of the state. There are no police to run to because they're the national police. And if they go bad, what happens? You can't go to another doctor because they're the national doctors. They're the national hospitals.
Starting point is 01:10:58 They're the national health administration. And so if they say something, you can't go someplace else because they have it all. that's the way fascism works they take away your ability to decide the way america works is each of us decide what we're going to do and then there becomes a market for those things that are in high demand so we all need health care great a market comes up and if that becomes really abusive if the government isn't involved. If it becomes abusive, then you can go find another market. Somebody will start another market to beat that one. The key is that we all learn this last week. It's what we as individuals decide to do. And if there's enough of us that
Starting point is 01:12:09 decide we want to do something, we change the world. And we come together. And we come together quickly. That's what happened last week. The Nazarene Fund, by the way, is now up to 26, almost 27 million dollars. And people are still giving at the Nazarene Fund.org and Mercury 1.org. We all came together and everyone felt helpless because the problem was too big. But when you saw these individuals that are suffering, the individual became real to each of And each of us said, I got to do something. And all you needed was somebody that said, I got an idea. How about we do this?
Starting point is 01:13:02 And enough people thought it was a good idea that people pledged their $5. And mass, when we choose to come together on an idea, the collection of the collective money from all of the individuals moves mountains when we all make a choice as individuals. Our individual choices are being taken away. And I don't see anyone else trying to grab on to an airplane to be taken to another country. Who's trying to get into the wheel well to get to China? Who's climbing onto an airplane and holding on in hopes that they'll make it to Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Canada?
Starting point is 01:14:04 We need to, as individuals, recognize the lies that we are allowing to happen. And the biggest lie is that you're not powerful, that you can't get it done. that you have to wait for permission. I got news for you. I'm about to snap on the State Department because we're waiting for permission for them to say, yes, these refugees can be taken in by a third country. We're not waiting for the permission. The State Department has to give permission out of deference to another country that has already said,
Starting point is 01:14:52 we'll take them. But we don't want to get into cross purposes with your State Department, so we're waiting for them to give us permission. That's insanity. That's insanity. That's how you get people killed. Back in just a minute, first, let me tell you, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Glenn, you're a doctor.

That's a doctor term, man. rec tech r-a-c-tec-e-c-e-c-e-c-c-e-c-c-e-c-c-c-com this is the glenbeck program uh we have a podcast that came out on saturday with tucker carlson we talked about a little bit of everything um including what the real problem is with men it was fascinating to hear him talk about one of the issues that we have
Starting point is 01:16:54 is men are not men anymore and there are a lot of them like this Roger Wicker of Mississippi, I think he's probably a good guy. They're weak. There's something in them that's weak, and they've decided, I'm not, you know, the other side is ascended. The left is winning. I'm not going to push any buttons that, you know, might infuriate them. They're just, they're not, they're not lionhearted. 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, who will say, here are my principles. I will clearly articulate that. for you and by the way I'll die for them because that's what principles are you know real principles not BS you know this is the tax rate I want but like people should be allowed to say what they really believe that's called freedom of speech is guaranteed in the first amendment to the Bill of Rights that's a non-negotiable point period someone who will do that and they're like none of them the only ones who will do it are women and that has a lot of consequences for one thing it drives the women crazy but a lot of really angry women right now you notice and I think a lot of them are angry
Starting point is 01:17:58 because their men are weak. I do think that. I mean, I don't think that. I know that. And I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. And if you want to make her mad, you know, weak men, this is true for a lot of, I have three daughters. I see this, I see this all the time. Weak men make them mad because it's wrong.
Starting point is 01:18:16 And this is like basic and human. You know, all the true basic human things are the ones we're not allowed to talk about. Yeah, right. Talk about our dumb theories. But the way that people really are, Nature, nature itself is so offensive to our leaders because it challenges their totally unnatural program. There's nothing less natural than neoliberalism. It's an assault on nature.
Starting point is 01:18:39 It's a denial of nature. But at its core, nature is about sex differences. Men and women are different. Does and stags are different. Their difference is the central fact of the natural world. and if something falls out of balance in that relationship between male and female, everything else is affected by it, everything. 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. And I think it's physiological.
Starting point is 01:19:20 I don't think this is not just a cultural phenomenon. you know, the massive increase in trans-identifying kids. It's not just a result of propaganda from the schools. And that's part of it. But it's bigger than that. This has never happened in human history. In all human history, this has never happened. So that's a red flag right there.
Starting point is 01:19:40 What the hell is this? Now, you can be totally for it or you can be totally opposed. It doesn't even matter how you feel about it. As a phenomenon, it's worth studying. What is going on? And it's the one thing that nobody mentions. And I just have noticed this. I mean, just like empirically, just around me, and I'm hardly a genius and I'm not a scientist.
Starting point is 01:20:00 But this is so obvious, you'd have to be a liar to ignore it. And we should not ignore it. Hello, America, and welcome to Monday. A lot to report on. We go to what is happening on the ground in Afghanistan in 60 seconds. I want you to know that not all real estate agents are exactly the same. You know, imagine a real estate agent comes to the door, comes in, sits down with you, you talk for a little bit about the house, what your goals are, what's realistic, what's not,
Starting point is 01:20:46 all of that. Then he pulls out his phone and a piece of paper and pulls up the names of every single person that you're going to need to get the job done, done right. And he writes them all down for you. He even says, you know what, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, call a couple of these myself, make sure that they come over and get this done. You realize, not for the last time in the process, you didn't just get a real estate agent. You got to partner, somebody who is partnering with you to sell your home all the way through to the end to get
Starting point is 01:21:18 the best possible outcome. That's what we envision happening and we know happens every day with our real estate agents at real estate agents. I trust.com. They're not people that work for us. These are people that we have found. We have monitored. We have looked for the best track records in the area and we recommend them to you. Go to real estate agents.i trust.com.
Starting point is 01:21:43 That's real estate agents I trust.com. Saber Nasiri is known by a lot of people as Sabre Rock. He is an Afghan interpreter and now his family is being hunted by
Starting point is 01:22:04 the Taliban. because he was such a hero in helping the U.S. Saber, welcome to the program. Good morning, everybody, and thank you so much, sir. How are you? I'm 50% okay because I never give up, even I lost my fingers in the war. Even I was on a front line, but I know my family, they're hunting right now in Afghanistan, and they have not been saved yet.
Starting point is 01:22:38 And the Taliban, they're looking my family around the airport of Kabul airport. But I never lose hope. I just kindly ask everyone to pray for me and we can save them. So if you don't know what happened to Saber, he was one of the lead guys early on in the war, in the Helmand province, which was one of the most violent regions in the area. And they had to drive a wedge between the Afghani villagers and the Taliban. And all of the communication then would be driven right through Rock, if you will, Saber Rock.
Starting point is 01:23:25 And it ended up really, really, really well. They were doing a documentary film. it at the time and because of that he had a $300,000 bounty on on his head and and your family now are has some of the family has gotten out and are in Dubai and we don't want to identify the family at all but you have other other members of your family that you're trying to get out and you say they're at the gates of the base Yes, I cannot share the location right now, but they're around the airport. You know, I'm a little bit sad. It's become three weeks. I couldn't sleep good.
Starting point is 01:24:17 And 24 hours, I sleep one hour because I don't feel, you know, happy. I'm very upset. I cannot eat because my heart, and this pain is from my heart. You know why? Because I fought for this country. I'm an American citizen and I sacrifice for this country. They even made a documentary movie about me that I won Amy Award, Hollywood Award.
Starting point is 01:24:46 And now, Mr. Joe Biden, that I respect and like him, I know one day he will change Afghanistan. I know one day he will listen. to the people of Afghanistan. But unfortunately, he broke my heart. Mr. Joe Biden broke my heart because he left my family behind.
Starting point is 01:25:12 He left the other allies behind. So, you know, some of the military retire, like Colonel Mardivito, Mr. Brad, Park, of Hollywood Film Festival, Nancy Reward, especially Lukasra brothers that they made the movie about me, and also Congressman Chris Smith, Green Barrett, Jerry Torres, they all retire Army and military forces. They are helping me. But Joe Biden, Mr. Joe Biden didn't.
Starting point is 01:25:55 Mr. Joe Biden is supposed to support and save my family. He says that the Taliban is not beating people. It's not they're abiding by, you know, the way they should behave in international law. Any comment on trusting the Taliban and what's really happening on the ground? Whatever he said, maybe he mentioned to the social media, but I will give you proof that the Taliban, they are looking. looking for those people who serve for US government, who serve for like a journal, colonel. They are searching every single houses. They beat a lot of people. They tell my family members, they beat my brothers, both brothers that they are in Dubai right now. His name is Rahim Ahmadi, Mahir, Nasseri.
Starting point is 01:26:53 So they're beating everyone. I have proof. You know, the people of Afghanistan, want peace and democracy without interfere of foreigners. But people of Afghanistan say we want, majority people of Afghanistan said, we want America, we want United States forces to stay in Afghanistan for good. If not, at least they can stay for 50 years. Because United States military, they're in other countries for several. 17 years. Why they're lifting us behind? What's our, we didn't do anything. So the voice is, the voice are from people of Afghanistan. They're innocent people of Afghanistan now.
Starting point is 01:27:43 Look, a lot of people, they are leaving Afghanistan. What does it mean? It means they don't like Taliban. Majority of people of Afghanistan, majority means 99% of people of Afghanistan, they don't like Taliban. Then they're kind of, requesting from Mr. Joe Biden. Mr. Joe Biden can change everything, can save all people of Afghanistan as he can. So they are kindly requesting, please, Mr. Joe Biden, save us from beast, save us from animals, Taliban or animals. So let me ask you this, Saber. The Taliban army did not, it's not the Taliban, The Afghani army did not stand up to the Taliban. But we're seeing now all throughout the country,
Starting point is 01:28:35 the citizens in towns all over the country, standing up and kicking them out of the area. What happened to the army? What happened to, you know, your president? Good. Thank you so much that you brought that. I graduated from political science in Afghanistan, and I'm an expert about Afghanistan.
Starting point is 01:28:56 I travel all over Afghanistan. So it means that I'm telling you the truth. So majority of right now, majority of U.S. Afghan army, A&A, Afghan National Army, they are trying to join Mr. Ahmed, Mr. Ahmed, which is he is the son of the leader of Afghanistan. Ahmad Shah Masood killed by Taliban. He was the hero and champion. Now they start because 95% of Afghanistan caversed by Taliban. 5%, which is Panshir province and north and some of the province in north,
Starting point is 01:29:39 they are under control of Majahedin. They are under control of the people who beat the Russia, who beat China, who beat England, who beat the Pakistan and India, whatever. But what happened? was the manager, the so-called president, Mr. Ashraf Ghani, he elected by U.S. government. He elected by president of United States, whatever was. He was the fraud, briber, and fascist president we ever had. He was the hated president of Afghanistan.
Starting point is 01:30:23 So then the Taliban, they became strong. Why? Because Mr. Ash Afghani was supporting Taliban under table. And Mr. Ash Afghani released a lot of Taliban. Mr. Ash Afghani brought the representative of Taliban on the table. Taliban was lost the war. America won the war. But Hamid Khadai, Ashafghani, they support Taliban.
Starting point is 01:30:59 You know, the Taliban, they didn't expect that they get the all province of Afghanistan like a water. Why? Because Mr. Ashafghani called every core. We have 11 corps in Afghanistan. They call them, they said, leave all your corps, all your battalion for Taliban. But the people, the army, our army, Afghanistan army, they said, we can fight. We have tanks. We have helicopter.
Starting point is 01:31:31 We have omnisian. And we have everything. But Karzai and also Ashrafgani said, no, leave it to them. That's why we lost Afghanistan. The problem, majority of people of Afghanistan said, if we see Ashrafgani, we see Ashrafgani, Afghani anywhere, we will not leave him alone. They are very, very, very upset from... So when he left, because he apparently left with his family and his gold and everything
Starting point is 01:32:06 else, it was kind of... It looked as though he was leaving because of the Taliban. He wasn't, according to you. He's leaving because the people were angry with him? Correct. He left Afghanistan for two reasons. Number one, he stole 50 million thousand dollars. Even he didn't took $5 million with him. He gave him to the PPS. The reason why he left because the people was hungry on him. Number two, he left because of the money. He stole the money. He got it. He, you know, there was a three guy, three person, controlled. all Afghanistan. Number one, Ashrafgani, number two, Dr. Mohab, which is he was not a doctor, he was a nurse, and there was another guy, Pazli, Mr. Pazli. These three gentlemen cover all Afghanistan. That's why the Taliban became upset. The people of Afghanistan became upset. They said, as better,
Starting point is 01:33:11 the people of Afghanistan said, it's better that we can leave Afghanistan because these three gentlemen sold every single mine to the neighbors. But they have three, they have to face it. Number one, the first phase is just polishers. I'm sorry to say that. He polished everybody. He, you know, he showed his sympathy to the people. But the other phase was just selling our country, our people,
Starting point is 01:33:46 our army, our tank to the enemies of the human being. Right. Including China, right? That's where the mines went. Of course. The copper mine from east of Afghanistan
Starting point is 01:34:03 Hamid Karzai sold it before, then Ashafgani sold it. But they sold it and they act under table. Not on the table. Hmm. And I'm Sorry to say that. Kindly, I'm requesting from Mr. Joe Biden, please follow and emphasize Mr. Ashrafgani.
Starting point is 01:34:27 He is, he, you know, we won the war. I'm a U.S. citizen. United States won the war. But now Taliban, they got celebration. They got party. They said we beat Russia. We beat America. It's not true.
Starting point is 01:34:45 It's not true. If United States want to win the war or jump back, we have one length. We have a big unit right now. They are located in north of Afghanistan. We call Panshir province. The Pansir leader, Mr. Ahmad, son of Ahmad Shah Masut, champion of Afghanistan. You can just Google it. He said we have 200.
Starting point is 01:35:16 units, 200 special forces units, and the Taliban, they scared from them. Yesterday, Taliban lost three villages and five cities. Right. So, Croatian started. The people, the northern people, northern line people say, we don't need support of United States now. Right. If the United States want to support us, we are kindly requesting and welcoming American forces. We don't need military persons. We need our nation. We need air support. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:54 Then we promise in one year we will get all Afghanistan. We promise that. So we have a strong unit now. Saber, I appreciate the insight on this. And I do hope that we change. our tactics here 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. Saber Nasseri, thank you very much.
Starting point is 01:36:28 Our best to you. 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. God bless you. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Gold Line. Palantir did something this week that went mostly unnoticed. Now, this company, because they're hedging against what they say is a black swan event,
Starting point is 01:36:57 they just bought $50 million in physical gold. Now, wait a minute. Why? Well, you have to understand that Palantir is one of the foremost expert companies on data, analytics, and forecasting. They're used by hedge funds, banks, financial firms, including Morgan Stanley, Merck, Airbus, Fiat, Chrysler. The United States intelligence community uses these people. And they just loaded up with $50 million in physical gold. Huh. Does that say anything to anyone?
Starting point is 01:37:40 Why would a company whose sole purpose is to essentially predict the future suddenly feel the need to do that? That's a bigger story than anybody is reporting on. Goldline wants to know, is gold or silver right for you and your family? Why? Do your own homework. Why did Palantir do this last week? While supplies last, they have extended their free silver bar offer to the end of this week with any and all qualifying orders. You'll receive the bar at no cost. 866 Goldline.
Starting point is 01:38:13 That's 866 Goldline or goldline.com. 10 seconds. Station ID. One of the more amazing things about watching this Afghanistan situation just collapse and crumble is how many people there are thousands. Like him who are out there helping us over multiple decades. Think of the risk you're taking when you have a group of people who are still active, by the way. But see, this is the problem is that, you know, people have always known America as one thing. You can say that we meddle in other people's businesses.
Starting point is 01:39:07 You can say a lot of things. But the military never leaves anyone behind. Certainly not American citizens. Right. And I, and also those that are been helping and we promise. I mean, the problem is, is these people didn't necessarily know if they could trust us. But our soldiers made bonds with these people. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:28 It's our, it's our military that are vouching for these guys. Yeah. That's what's important. And it's our soldiers that are. They're the ones that are with them and they're like, yeah, trust us. Trust us. These guys are legit. Yes.
Starting point is 01:39:40 Yeah. Can you answer this criticism, I guess? I hear from some on the right which are saying here we go we get this situation's deteriorating now you want to raise money to pull a bunch of unvetted people out and bring them to America
Starting point is 01:39:56 there's this Chris no I'm not I'm not for bringing unvetted anyone to America that's not what the Nazarean front is doing it's important to note no that these we know who these people are and by the way they're not coming to America right so not only are they not unvetted
Starting point is 01:40:12 they're not coming to America right so not only are they not coming to America. Yeah. So nobody that we're bringing are coming. We will be responsible for no one coming to America. Okay. They're coming to other countries, but none of them will be coming to America. You know,
Starting point is 01:40:27 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. You're going to get the wrong people in. You're going to get the, you're going to leave some of the right people behind. So even there, they're
Starting point is 01:40:43 not bringing them like directly to the United States. No. The people that are not better. They're going to bring them to someplace safe where they can sort it out. Correct. Correct. That's the thought. And and those people who really did serve the United States should be taking care of them and their families. They, they were investing in us and we invested in them. They should get the benefit of coming here. American financing NMLS-182334.
Starting point is 01:41:19 less consumer access.org. I just wonder why these are the wrong, you know, why these people have to be vetted and everybody at the border doesn't have to be. Why American citizens have to pay for their airfare, but people who are coming across the border, they're fine. The government will pay for all of that.
Starting point is 01:41:39 America is starting to change, and it's changing from the inside out, and it's not a good change, but there is another part of America that is standing true, to what we once knew. And while the ground gets shakier, we have to find that solid ground.
Starting point is 01:42:01 That solid ground. And that solid ground is responsibility, fiscal responsibility, spiritual responsibility. Get your fiscal house in order by calling American financing right now. They are in it for you, not the bank, let their consultants do a free mortgage review for, you. See how much you might be missing out on saving. Do it now. Americanfinancing.net 800-906 2440.
Starting point is 01:42:30 You can still help the Nazarene Fund at the Nazarenefund.org. The Nazarenefund.org. You know, I think we come up with a new standard on this program. Things you can't prove are incorrect. That's our standard of evidence. I think that's the, I mean, that's the media standard of evidence. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, you can't prove that that's incorrect. You can't prove Donald Trump didn't get peed on by prostitutes in Russia.
Starting point is 01:43:08 So let's report it. Right. You can't prove it's not true. Well, I guess. And I suppose we weren't with them every second of every day. Because there's this great story about the word testament. And testament is, I look at testament or testament. as the first part of the word test.
Starting point is 01:43:29 Everybody wants the amoni part, but you don't want the test. And the only way you can testify to something true is if you've really been thrown up against the wall, if you've been tested and you test it yourself. But there's a great story is looking up the word testament and seeing the origins. There's a story that you can't prove it isn't true. that the Romans used to put their hand on their man parts to, instead of the Bible, obviously, to tell the truth, whole truth, and not the about the truth. And that was their testimony because a man's fertility was so important to the men in ancient Rome. That's where, that's your honor.
Starting point is 01:44:19 That's what made you a man. and that's why women couldn't share their testimony because they didn't have test test testicles. What a crazy era that was. I mean, imagine going back to a time where gender had something to do with your private parts. Yeah. That's totally out of date now.
Starting point is 01:44:40 That's crazy talk. And again, just a little fact, you can't prove isn't true. It's a good story. It's a good story. I don't know that it's accurate. Well, were we there in ancient Rome? No.
Starting point is 01:44:56 No. Look it up. I wasn't even there. They say you can't prove it or disprove it. Yeah, there's a lot of weak. There's no evidence that this is true. True. But.
Starting point is 01:45:06 Then why are you reporting on it? Why are you reporting on it? Ask every mainstream media source. There's no evidence these things. You know, here's something else that you can't prove isn't true. You know, people who are comparing Afghanistan. to Saigon in 1975. And they're saying,
Starting point is 01:45:26 oh, it's like, this is just like, this is just like Saigon. Look at what's going on. By the way, did you see the picture of, of Kamala, given the see-a-later salute
Starting point is 01:45:37 on the plane, on the tarmac, as she's going to Vietnam. This weekend, she left for Vietnam. Incredible. By the way, you know,
Starting point is 01:45:48 I'm not as good on my history of Vietnam. as some other wars that I've read too much about. Right. But like, didn't we have everyone out of Saigon like a month before? It's so much worse. You know the helicopter. The photo of the helicopter on the roof, the U.S.
Starting point is 01:46:05 Embassy in Saigon, line of people on the stairs trying to get on board. Well, that's not the embassy. Okay? That picture is not the embassy. Everything you think that you thought you knew about that photo is wrong. And I'll get back to it here in a minute. last week, Lloyd Austin, our U.S.
Starting point is 01:46:25 Secretary of Defense said, we don't have the capability to go out and collect large numbers of people. And my response is, what? Since when? That's something you guys should have told us about a long time ago. You've been able to go around the country
Starting point is 01:46:42 and collect people that kept their businesses open and throw them in prison. That's really bad. This is insane from the head of the Pentagon. But it's interesting that they don't think they have the capability to go out and rescue large numbers of people. Because back in 1975 in Saigon, we did. As the city of Danang fell to the communists in 1975, the writing was on the wall for the U.S. in Vietnam. So on April 2nd of 1975, during a State Department meeting, the Secretary of State, Enrique Kisinger, said,
Starting point is 01:47:20 it was America's duty, quote, to get the people who believed in us out. Now, that's a crazy statement, right? Yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me. Any sense. That's a somehow I have the time when people. Sounds dumb. There was, you know, they claimed there was differences between men and women. Oh, my gosh, remember those days.
Starting point is 01:47:38 Oh, my gosh, they don't come back. So anyway, the U.S. made a list of Vietnamese officials, the translators and others who would be evacuated and resettled here in the U.S. by the end of April, 1975, the North Vietnamese troops were surrounding Saigon. They attacked the Saigon's airport. They ruined all the runways, which made any large-scale airplane evacuation impossible.
Starting point is 01:48:06 So what do we do? Well, we, they didn't say, Hey, all you people, try to get to the airport. Hey, you know, You should do? You should go to one central location where all these people are ready to kill you. No, they didn't. They chose 13 helicopter landing sites across Saigon.
Starting point is 01:48:32 13. They got 81 Marine Air Force and Air America helicopters to fly people out of the city onto ships right off the coast. So somehow or another, they found 81 giant helicopters. And they said, here are the 13 different landing sites. Get here. So in the morning of April 29th, American Forces Radio, it's almost like they planned this out. Almost. They played Bing Crosby's White Christmas.
Starting point is 01:49:10 It's April 29th. So American Forces Radio played White Christmas. and said, oh, it's crazy. The temperature is 105 degrees and rising. Which everyone knew who was in the know. That's the signal. We're going now. Get to your location.
Starting point is 01:49:31 So all the Americans and the Vietnamese that were on the official list, they went to the helicopter landing sites. Many of them were on top of buildings. One of the Air America helicopters was manned by a CIA operative named Obie Hardedge. He wore an eye patch because he was in World War II and he lost me eye. And he had to make room for 20 people on each flight. And he rode standing on the helicopter skid while holding on to his machine gun.
Starting point is 01:50:07 He was supposed to load the VIPs first, but he boarded people on a first come first serve bases, including Vietnamese children with notes pinned to their clothes that said, my son wants to be a doctor. He's the guy, Harnage, is the guy on the top of the stairs in that famous photo on top of the building, reaching out his hand to help people get on board.
Starting point is 01:50:35 It wasn't the U.S. Embassy. It was an apartment building. And it wasn't the very last flight out. the 81 U.S. helicopters continued their flights throughout the night. It was an operation called Frequent Wind. Well, I'm going to mind bring a window too. They rescued 1373 Americans and 6,000 Vietnamese in less than 24 hours. We're flying giant transport planes.
Starting point is 01:51:12 some of them half full. That was then. In 24 hours, we got about 7 or 8,000 people out. It's almost like we planted it in advance. It was weird. Making it up on the fly. Right. Right. Now the Biden administration doesn't even know,
Starting point is 01:51:37 doesn't even know the number of Americans that are stranded in Afghanistan. anywhere from 5 to 10,000. It can't ensure their safe passage to the airport. Yet 46 years ago, 81 helicopters managed to rescue 7,000 people from Saigon in a day. Wow, that's weird, isn't it? I just saw a briefing with the Pentagon. Correct me if I'm wrong, Stu. The quote was, we think we've gotten about.
Starting point is 01:52:11 6,000 people out. We think? I mean, is there nobody to count how many people you're putting onto the plane? I mean, it's like a two-hour flight. There's nobody going, all right, everybody,
Starting point is 01:52:28 count off. You're number one. Start. There's nobody that can take a picture and say this. You think? And we think we're not going to need more time. You know, they keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means. I don't think anyone involved in the Kabul airport is using that word properly.
Starting point is 01:52:54 I don't think they're thinking. Joseph lives in Pennsylvania. He writes in about how Rough Greens affected his dog's life and his own. He says, my beagle is 17 years old. He was sleeping 20 hours a day. That's so sad. He said I was afraid that he was going to die soon. I put some rough greens on his food.
Starting point is 01:53:19 20 days later, I am amazed. He's wagging his tail again. I know he's happier. His food and rough greens are gone every day. He's eating well. And he's much more active. I'm amazed by rough greens. And I appreciate getting my buddy back again.
Starting point is 01:53:36 Thanks. Man, Joe, thank you so much for writing in. And I'm glad your beagle is doing really well. it's great to see our friends last longer and be happier and be healthier you can get a free bag of rough greens for your dog to try out all you do is pay for shipping just try it
Starting point is 01:53:57 roughgreens.com slashback not a dog food it's a supplement you put on the food it's just call them now at 833 glen 33 that's 833 glen 33 call them now roughgreens dot com slash back 888 770 Two. Okay.
Starting point is 01:54:19 I, you know, some days I just, I mean, I can't work with Stu. I just can't work with him. First of all, he questions off the air. I'm just telling him a little story that you can't prove isn't true about Rome and the ancient Romans, how they used to put their hands like Michael Jackson on their crotch. And then that's them swearing their testimony. And look it up. You can't, you can't prove that it's not true.
Starting point is 01:54:45 Can't prove it's true, but you can't prove it's not true. he's questioned me on that. Then I get into the commercial break. I finished my commercial and he's like, what date was that Saigon story? And I said, I don't know, April, 1975, why? 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.
Starting point is 01:55:08 I was telling the story of one operation on one day, Stu. 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. Yeah, that last effort. Right. So I'm not questioning whether you should have told the story, but I was questioning whether I understood the actual truth of this. And what?
Starting point is 01:55:30 The answer is no. Well, the truth of this seems to be that unlike this operation in Afghanistan, we had done the bulk of the work in the month preceding the fall of Saigon. Yes. over 100,000 people evacuated and then the last few people were involved in the story that you just talked about the last several thousand. Yeah. And it wasn't even supposed to be several thousand. It ended up being about 7,000 people in 24 hours
Starting point is 01:56:01 that we evacuated with 81 helicopters. But that wasn't that wasn't what it was supposed to be. I think the list was about 300 and we ended up taking 7,000 with us. Right? Yeah, I think it was down to, yeah, I thought it was 900, 900, 900 people. But I guess that's the thing here is that we only had 900 at the end.
Starting point is 01:56:23 I keep thinking back to, think if you're Joe Biden, you run for president, you win the presidency, you go through the election period, which is obviously somewhat strenuous, but as you're preparing to get into office on January 20th,
Starting point is 01:56:37 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. And what does he do with this time? seemingly nothing. He just sits back and acts as if this is not going to happen. And maybe he thought they were going to hold out longer. But like, why would, if you're, you are definitely getting out, you're ideologically committed to it as he is. Throughout all of this, he just keeps saying I made the right decision. We know he was so committed to it. Why wouldn't you get all
Starting point is 01:57:11 the people out of there so that when May first comes, if the Taliban is right around the corner, you can pull out the last few hundred people. And why wouldn't you pull out everybody else out before your troops? Right. Because having the troops there protects everyone else. And why would you not hold the air base? Like these are basic questions. Oh, you know what? Donald Trump had a great speech. Did you see a speech this weekend? A little bit of it. Yeah. 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,
Starting point is 01:57:57 you know, the Air Force base, and we destroy everything that we left behind. That's what you do. It's really not that hard. It's really not that hard. All we know is that every, decision Joe Biden has made was wrong. And when I say every decision, I mean every decision he's made for the past 50 years.
Starting point is 01:58:19 But it comes to foreign policy, he has been wrong every single time throughout history. There was a letter that we got when we went and killed Osama bin Laden. And we got it in 2010 and it wasn't released. No, it was written in 2010. We killed him and got the letter in 2011. and it wasn't released or made public for at least a year after that. I was surprised it actually saw the light of day, but the Daily Mail is reminding us of this letter today.
Starting point is 01:58:53 This is Osama bin Laden when he was then the leader of al-Qaeda, and he wrote this 48-page letter of here we, here's what we have to do. On page 36, he says, we have to have two hit squads. we have to kill President Barack Obama and David Petraeus. Because if we kill David Petraeus, you know, it'll change the war. 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.
