0:00 President Biden triumphantly announces America's surrender in Afghanistan as the Taliban reimposed dystopian theocracy and murder our erstwhile allies and Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show the bench Shapiro show is sponsored by expressvpn protect your online privacy today at expressvpn.com benwell if you are worried about everything running directly into the mud one of the things you might think about doing is diversifying your portfolio that means getting at least some precious metals in their recent budget proposal the White House budget office forecast inflation for 2021 at 2.1 percent in June the actual inflation rate was 5.4 percent the point inflation is here it is coming faster than the government was prepared for their solution is to spend a lot more money so don't stick your head in the sand the same way they are instead hedge your savings against inflation by diversifying into gold and silver with

0:51 Birch gold group if you haven't reached out to Birch gold to diversify part of your IRA or 401K into a precious metals Ira go ahead and do it today text Ben to 47 4747 get a free information kit on protecting your savings with gold I buy my gold from Birch gold they've got an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau countless five star reviews thousands of happy customers talk to them have them help you Safeguard your retirement savings text Ben to 47 47 47 today to claim you're free no obligation information kit and to speak with the precious metals expert on holding gold and silver in a text sheltered account again text my name Ben to 4747-47 to get started and protect your savings from the predations of the central government today alrighty so we are watching in real time the worst American foreign policy debacle of my lifetime now admittedly I was born in 1984. so I do not remember the pullout from Saigon in

1:39 1975 but this is easily the worst foreign policy debacle since then probably it is worse than that because remember at least it can be said of the Vietcong that they didn't you know attack the Empire State Building in 1955 the Taliban sheltered the people who took down the World Trade Centers and attacked the Pentagon on 911 and now we are turning the country back over to them and what's most incredible about this is that our daughtering fool of a president and he is a fool he did this for no reason none there was no rational reason for him to do what he did certainly not in the way that he did it even if you think we shouldn't be in Afghanistan which as we'll talk about I think is a foolhardy idea but even if you believe that there was a way to do this that was at least somewhat organized Biden didn't do any of that instead Biden because he is an ideological idiot decided that he would

2:28 run his ideology directly up against the brick wall of reality now I I will say I'm amused to see how many people in the commentary a team shocked seemed shocked by the idiocy of Joe Biden so for example Politico Europe has an entire piece about how people in Europe can't believe how bad Biden is at this quote disbelief and betrayal Europe reacts to Biden's Afghanistan quote unquote miscalculation the first line of this piece reads quote until Sunday Europe thought Joe Biden was an expert on foreign policy well I guess all I can take away from that is that Europe is filled with clinical morons because who in the world thought Joe Biden was an expert on foreign policy he's not been right on a single major foreign policy issue for his entire career and now that he occupies the Oval Office that's a very dangerous thing see the thing is about the presidency the presidency has to negotiate with

3:16 Congress the presidency has to work through the Supreme Court the presidency on domestic policy has at least some checks and balances including state level authorities that come into conflict with the federal government when it comes to foreign policy the presidency the executive branch has nearly plenary power and that means that if the president of the United States decides to unilaterally undermine American foreign policy in unique and depressing ways he can do it Joe Biden was fully committed to the idea that he was going to pull out of Afghanistan damned be the consequences and the consequences are here and they are hideous they're going to see tens of thousands of earthwild American Allies slaughtered in the streets in Afghanistan you're going to see people who are abandoned to the predations of the Taliban you're going to see a geopolitical collapse around this there are real consequences to this that are

4:00 not limited to Afghanistan we'll get into that okay so all of that said Joe Biden yesterday he gave a speech and his speech was supposed to lay out the rationale for this remember he was often Camp David he had called a lid Joe Biden had no plans to actually speak to the American public until like Wednesday or Thursday because after all Joe Biden was eating ice cream and watching Matlock up in Camp David he couldn't be bothered all he did over the weekend was release a photo of himself a pathetic looking photo of himself alone in the situation room talking via conference call with all of the generals who had already advised him not to do this and then monitoring the collapse of Afghanistan in real time well finally he flew back to Washington DC he did a little speech at the White House and then he took like three questions and then he left and that was it because here's the thing about your caring

4:47 grandfatherly empathetic old man president he does not give one damn about the people we made promises to he doesn't care that Americans are still stuck in in Afghanistan right now somewhere between five and ten thousand of them he does not care that tens of thousands when I say tens of thousands I mean probably at least a hundred thousand people are connected to the Afghan government who are allies people who worked on intelligence with us people who served in the Afghan military with the United States military and their families those people are stuck there and they will remain stuck there and Joe Biden does not give a bleep for Captain humanitarian policy over here it turns out he doesn't care it doesn't matter one iota to him because in the end he's just a venal corrupt old politician that's all he is that's all he ever was he was never Captain empathy now I've said a thousand times that you

5:37 should not look to politicians for empathy and if you're looking to politicians for empathy you're looking in the wrong place because politics shouldn't be about empathy politics should be about making hard-headed decisions but that's the thing Joe Biden's decision here wasn't even hard-headed real politique it was not a realist foreign policy decision his decision here was very simple he was going to abandon Afghanistan come hell or high water and Helen high water have come okay so he made the speech yesterday and it was notable for its complete lack of honesty the number of lies that Joe Biden told in the speech it Beggars the imagination the number of prevarications the self-congrat I've never seen a president congratulate himself on a greater failure than this this is as though Gerald Ford had called oppressor after the abandonment of Saigon and then congratulated himself for his bravery in

6:27 abandoning millions of people to the evils of the Viet Cong remember Afghanistan by the way is 38 million people live in Afghanistan but that's exactly what Joe Biden did Joe Biden did a press conference where he blamed every single person other than himself everyone as we'll see he blamed everyone for the decision that he alone made in precipitous fashion against the advice of his generals against the advice of his intelligence authorities against the advice of all prior presidents he made this call he owns this call but he tried to blame everybody else and he patted himself on the back as a man of high moral character for having abandoned people the United States made commitments to we're running out of allies to betray here we betrayed the Kurds we've betrayed the people of Hong Kong we've done nothing for the dissidents in Iran we've done nothing for The Descendants in Cuba and now we've

7:14 allowed people who we actively engaged with people we actively encourage to fight back against the Taliban by the way they did 50 000 five zero thousand fifty thousand Afghan military members have been killed in the last seven years alone fighting against the talibans when you hear all these people saying the Afghan military wasn't willing to fight we were we were fighting their War for them the United States has not been in an active combat role in Afghanistan since 2014 when NATO officially stopped doing that last year since February 20 since February 8 2020 the United States has not lost a soldier in combat not one and we were losing either low double digits or single digits numbers of soldiers in combat in Afghanistan year on year since 2014.

8:01 meanwhile the Afghan military was taking tens of thousands of casualties so the notion that the Afghan military has been doing nothing over the past few years is just a lie we'll discuss that in just a second because again Joe Biden blamed the Afghan military for decisions he himself made but we begin at the beginning with Joe Biden's pathetic muling disgusting speech I mean this is really one of the most disreputable speeches I've ever seen an American president give it is Despicable it is morally despicable it is a Despicable lie through and through so let's start at the beginning first he starts with an open lie he says he made contingency plans for this bull no he did not he didn't even come close to making contingency contingency plans for this here was Joe Biden just lying right right out the gate here my National Security team and I have been closely monitoring the situation on the ground in Afghanistan

8:50 and moving quickly to execute the plans we had put in place to respond to every constituency including and contingency including the rapid collapse we're seeing now okay you had no plans for the rapid collapse we're seeing now in fact Joe Biden would later admit that by the way what were those plans exactly I mean let's go through what's exactly been happening in Afghanistan over the last several days remember this Administration said that the Taliban would not take over the country period as of July Anthony blinken said like a few weeks ago there would be no situation which the Taliban over the course of a weekend took over Afghanistan which is basically what they did it's about a week like a week and a half from them taking over like the the third biggest city in Afghanistan so then taking over Kandahar to then taking over Kabul I mean let's just go through this we saw over the weekend helicopters taking off

9:43 from the roof of the US Embassy evacuating U.S embassy personnel did he have a contingency plan for that we saw Afghans rushing the airport now remember this is because the United States decided to abandon Bagram Air Base to the predations of the Taliban so he had no military Air Base from which to fly people out only the Kabul Airport was available and the United States did not have enough people there to defend the Kabul Airport so people were just rushing the tarmac you can see the Afghans climbing the walls attempting to get in okay you can I mean this video Afghans I mean this is stunning footage Afghans running along with the U.S Air Force plane clinging to the wings of the plane clinging to the wit was that the contingency plan Mr President those are those are human beings sitting on the okay this one is the most egregious of all obviously you can see you see that dot falling right there

10:38 those two dots falling right there those are people those are human beings okay this entire debacle began with human beings jumping from the Twin Towers on 911 after Al Qaeda based in Afghanistan harbored by the Taliban hit the twin towers and now the debacle ends with Afghans falling from the wheels of American planes those Afghans climbed into the wheels of the American planes to try and escape the Theo the Theocratic tyranny of the Taliban by the way another story from Politico today body of dead Afghan found in landing gear of military jet leaving Kabul Airport the body of an Afghan so desperate to escape the country hours after Kabul fell to the Taliban was found in the landing gear of a C-17 Transport Aircraft hours after it hastily took off from Muhammad Karzai International Airport according to two sources familiar with the manor the body in the aircraft's landing gear has made it

11:26 temporarily inoperable the sources said by the way some seven people were killed at the on the tarmac because of the rush on the tarmac apparently the Taliban are now going house to house and killing people and that's the Fallout Bill Crystal tweeted this out he's been receiving texts from people in Afghanistan by the way I'm getting emails from people desperately trying to get the Afghan interpreters they worked with members of the military who are now in the United States trying to get members of the Afghan military who they worked with they're translators people they worked with in the military out of Afghanistan and receiving no support from the Biden Administration and doing this I'm getting emails about it Bill Crystal tweeted out I just got off the phone with somebody who recently returned from his third tour in Afghanistan he emphasized we had a responsibility not just to translators

12:09 but to Afghan troops pilots and special forces in particular who'd fought bravely by our side and he continued by pointing out that he had received a text quote terrorists are going door to door and killing pilots and special operating forces raping their families taking their houses two of my friends were shot dead in Kabul meanwhile just just in case you didn't know what the Taliban are up to they've also been painting out the images of women if there are any images of women in Kabul they're going around with white paints and they're painting over them to make sure that women are never seen again okay that was the contingency planned from Joe Biden hey he said that right out of the gate in the speech that was his opening Gambit was we had a contingency plan it's a hell of a contingency plan right there that was just the beginning of the lies we'll get some more in one second first let's talk for a second about a

14:33 ago with clear goals get those who attacked us on September 11 2001 and make sure Al Qaeda could not use Afghanistan as a base from which to attack us again we did that we severely degraded Al Qaeda in Afghanistan we never gave up the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and we got him that was a decade ago okay now here's the problem how about the fact that you just reconstituted the possibility of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan according to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark milley he informed Congress tarot groups are likely to reconstitute in Afghanistan within the next two years high probability according to Dr sajan goho of the Asia Pacific Foundation quoted by the BBC there are some 250 to 500 members of al-Qaeda in kunar which is a heavily forested Valley region of Afghanistan right now we were able to monitor that place and we were able to fight with them no longer goal now says

15:31 the number is likely to increase given the United States is lack of access to any intelligence Network and its surrender of all air bases in Afghanistan also Pakistan has now cut a quid pro quo with the Taliban to now reject U.S bases on Pakistani territory so we can't even use Pakistani territory to launch attacks against the Taliban or against al Qaeda which means we are back to shooting camels in the ass with cruise missiles Bill Clinton's style from 1998 so it's pretty likely that terrorist groups are about to reconstitute quickly in Afghanistan and I know that we live in the post-911 era I know that that 911 was sort of a blip in a lot of people's imaginations it was 20 years ago after all but let's just remember that things that happen in far-off countries can have some rather radical impact in the United States just a reminder this is why we went into Afghanistan in the first place this right here

16:19 foreign I know we don't play this footage very often anymore I know we're not supposed to because it's upsetting and just quieting and and shocking still 20 years later that's the reason we went to Afghanistan because 3 000 Americans were murdered on September 11th by people the Taliban were harboring hey that's why we were there in the damn first place and those same people are were just ushered back into Power by Joe Biden ushered back into Power with no capacity the United States just destroyed its own capacity to wage war on these people that's what the United States just did by the way the Taliban you know there's this myth out there being being portrayed and and and perverted by the by the by the administration that the Taliban is moderated really interesting because like two years ago the Taliban Chief spokesperson was saying you know Al Qaeda wasn't even behind 9 11. this is on CBS This Morning from just a

17:14 couple of years ago more stunning was Shaheen's refusal to accept Al qaeda's responsibility for the September 11th attacks so who's the real culprit behind so so that that was not known who Stella it is not known who was behind us given to us we are ready to try him so that was just two years ago the Taliban saying it was not all kind of by the way that was the original line as well you'll recall so now they're back in power they're not just back in power they now have control of billions of dollars of US military equipment including mine resistance ambush protected Vehicles drones Humvees they have a lot of American Intel we didn't burn our stuff before we left they have all that stuff because Joe Biden decided to pull out with no plan with no forethought because he is a here's a dead set idiot I mean either that or he's or he's perverse I mean those are really the only two choices and and using hanlon's razor here I will

18:16 always say somebody is stupid rather than perverse but this is stupidity bordering on the perverse okay then Joe Biden started to make his excuses so his first excuse the first excuse that he used here was that our mission was never about nation building it was always about fighting Terror yes but as we've just established you're not fighting Terror anymore that's the whole point okay and I will say it is not entirely Joe Biden's fault that there was mission creep here right I mean there was mission Creep from the very beginning as we'll explore here is Joe Biden perverting what exactly the Afghan war was about in order to make the case for us withdrawing even though there really is no logical reason for us to do what we are doing right now our mission in Afghanistan was never supposed to have been nation building it was never supposed to be creating a unified centralized democracy our only vital National interest in

19:07 Afghanistan remains today what has always been preventing a terrorist attack on American Homeland okay and then he uh you know he continued along those lines okay so here's the thing he's correct originally the mission in Afghanistan had nothing to do with humanitarian missions right here's George W bush a long time ago now is from October of 2001 October 11 2001 announcing that we are now at war in Afghanistan right listen to how he describes the mission the attack took place on American soil but it was an attack on the heart and soul of the Civilized world and the world has come together to fight a new and different War the first and we hope the only one of the 21st Century a war against all those who seek to export Terror and a war against those governments that support or shelter them okay now the mission creep began pretty quickly because the United States always has a tendency to move from real

20:13 politics to sort of wilsonian foreign policy and immediately to move from we need to take out the bad guys too well what if we could also build democracy there and historically speaking one of the bulwarks that the United States has used to actually solidify places has been democracy whether you're talking about Germany whether you're talking about South Korea are you talking about Japan right very often the United States does build democracies in its wake in places that have not been hospitable to democracy before including Nazi Germany including Japan right over the course of Decades of occupation okay but the mission creep itself opened the door to the counter argument which is we shouldn't be there in the first place remember we went there to fight Terror and then there's a bit of mission creep and so people started defining the mission not around fighting Terror in the minds of the American public but

20:55 instead around the mission of fostering democracy in an inhospitable place so listen to how George W bush and his Farewell Address for example in January of 2009 linked together these two things right fighting Al Qaeda and also at the same time fostering democracy Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored Al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting Terror and encouraging girls to go to school okay now this opened the door obviously to counter arguments which is like we shouldn't be in Afghanistan at all we can't do a nation building project there which is not entirely incorrect but here is that that was an argument made by both Barack Obama and Donald Trump right was an argument that was commonly made we can't be there for nation building but here is the difference between Barack Obama and Donald Trump and Joe Biden Barack Obama and Donald Trump both had a

21:49 baseline understanding that a precipitous pullout from Afghanistan was a foolish thing to do an endlessly stupid thing to do I don't have a lot of kind words to say about Barack Obama Obama knew this better than Biden because he wasn't a dumbass like a full-scale dumbass you'll get to more of this in just one second first let us talk about a simple fact you need life insurance if you're a responsible human being you need life insurance and God forbid you're walking down the street and suddenly a pack of rabid hyenas attacks you or something you need life insurance policy genius makes it easy to compare quotes from over a dozen top insurers all in one place why compare it could say 50 or more on life insurance by comparing quotes with policy genius it could save 1300 bucks or more per year on life insurance by using policy genius to compare policies the licensed experts a policy genius work for you not the

23:15 to get it right okay so as I say now Joe Biden says well you know we're here to fight terrorism except that both Barack Obama who is pretty anti-war and Donald Trump who's also pretty anti-war at least understood you couldn't fully pull out of Afghanistan and remove all the military advisors and remove all the military support and remove everything without collapsing the country so in May 2014 Barack Obama announced that we were going to be drawing down our troops and redefining the mission in Afghanistan pretty dramatically but notice how he redefines the mission he says we're going to continue to be there right I've made it clear that we're open to cooperating with Afghans on two narrow missions after 2014.

23:53 training Afghan forces and supporting counter-terrorism operations against the remnants of Al Qaeda okay right so we have troops there right we still had a couple thousand troops in Afghanistan and then Donald Trump Circa 2017. he gave a speech about Afghanistan he said listen my initial Instinct was also to leave but then I looked at the actual facts on the ground and I recognized that a precipitous idiotic pullout would end predictably hey here is Donald Trump saying the correct thing my original instinct was to pull out the consequences of a rapid exit are both predictable and unacceptable 9 11 the worst terrorist attack in our history was planned and directed from Afghanistan because that country was ruled by a government that gave comfort and shelter to terrorists a hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum that terrorists including Isis and Al Qaeda would instantly fill just as happened before September 11th

25:06 okay that is the difference in kind from the moronic idiocy of Joe Biden who's like let's just take out all the troops both Barack Obama on the left and Donald Trump on the right both of whom had isolationist Tendencies with regard to Afghanistan both of them at least recognized you needed some base of operations against the terrorists Joe Biden it's like nope okay so then Joe Biden makes another excuse he says well you know there are other places in the world that have terrorists too but this is so again it boggles the mind how Hell foolish the man he's just a fool I mean I keep repeating myself but it is astonishing to realize that a man who's been working in Washington for 50 years and was purported to be some sort of foreign policy expert is this empty-headed today the terrorist threat has metastasized well beyond Afghanistan el-shabab and Somalia al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula I'm

25:57 Luther in Syria Isis attempting to create a caliphate in Syria and Iraq and establishing Affiliates in multiple countries in Africa and Asia these threats warn our attention and our resources we conduct effective counterterrorism missions against terrorist groups in multiple countries where we don't have permanent military presence okay but we do have military presence what's our military presence in Afghanistan going to be now zero was it going to be in Pakistan apparently zero we don't have one neuron so exactly where are we going to base our operations now by the way every country that he mentioned we currently have military advisors including Somalia we've had military advisors in Somalia fighting al-shabab for years we have American bases in Saudi Arabia for decades we have American Military presence in Syria and Iraq and all these other places that he's mentioning so what the hell are you talking about

27:00 okay then he gets to more more of the blame game so this was the biggest portion of his blame game he he blamed in essence a couple of sources one Trump the other the Afghan military for what just happened okay so he starts by blaming Trump by basically lying about the situation on the ground in Afghanistan and the and the deal that Trump tried to cut with the Taliban when I came into office I inherited a deal to president Trump negotiated with the Taliban under his agreement U.S forces would be out of Afghanistan by May 1 2021 just a little over three months after I took office U.S forces had already drawn down during the Trump Administration from roughly fifteen thousand five hundred American forces to 2 500 troops in country and the Taliban was at its strongest militarily since 2001.

27:57 the choice I had to make as your president was either to follow through on that agreement or be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of the spring fighting season Okay so there's so many problems what you just said so many lies here so many lies here okay so let's start with this okay when he he says that when he came into office he'd inherited a deal that Trump negotiated with the Taliban he said Trump did have a secretary of state Mike Pompeo negotiated a deal with the Taliban it was conditional the Taliban had to fulfill certain conditions before the United States would withdraw troops the Taliban was in the process of not fulfilling any of those conditions if Trump had been re-elected he would not have been withdrawing the troops at this point everybody knows this and if he had been withdrawing the troops he would have been with more planning than this hey by the way the notion that there was

28:49 this false choice between we had to withdraw completely or we had to watch the Taliban go to war and may is nuts that's of course not true we would have just had the status quo which was American forces in Afghanistan continuing to provide logistical and air support to the Afghan military status quo would remain status quo when he says by the way right there he says our choice was to be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of the spring fighting season um strange because one thing I noticed is that winter is coming up the Afghan government explicitly asked explicitly asked by the administration if you're gonna pull out delay it until winter why because Afghanistan the weather in winter is really bad the Taliban doesn't fight in the winter there's a fighting season in Afghanistan it is the spring in the summer and once you get the fall in the winter it stops so all Biden had to do was at least wait

29:42 for a few months in order to facilitate a transfer that by the way would have also guaranteed an ability for people who want to get out to get out instead he decided to accelerate it he's telling many many lies here just this Sunday Heroes former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explaining this is pathetic blame shifting there were actual conditions to our deal with the Taliban by the way I was against the deal with the Taliban in the first place I thought it was foolhardy I spoke about this during the Trump Administration I think that any deal you attempt to cut with terrorists is idiotic whether you're talking about Hezbollah or Hamas or Al-Qaeda or the Taliban anyway even even with that said the Trump deal is not what Biden did here and by the way since when is Biden Bound by deals made by Trump he's pulled out of every single deal Trump ever made he's undermined most of the deals Trump

30:25 ever like since when does he have to respect those deals you remember that Barack Obama did the same thing and Barack Obama after he took over he blamed George W bush for the status of forces agreement in Iraq and suggested that that required him to pull out of Iraq which was eminently untrue in any case who was Pompeo I wouldn't have let my ten-year-old son get away from this kind of pathetic blame shifting he should be less focused on trying to blame this on someone else than to solving the problem of making sure that we protect and defend American Security go read the conditions that were built into the deal I was in the room I was at the center of working to deliver that we negotiated a deal that performed a basis for the conditions-based withdrawal from American soldiers I'm proud of the work that we did there thank you okay so then we get to Biden Shifting the blame he starts off by blaming Trump

31:15 then he moves to he's going to blame the Afghan military this is really despicable it's really really despicable it's despicable and you understand what he actually did here so here's Joe Biden blaming the Afghans for uh for their own plight here I always promised the American people that I will be straight with you the truth is this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated so what's happened Afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country the Afghan military collapsed sometime without trying to fight if anything the developments of the past week reinforced that ending U.S military involvement Afghanistan now was the right decision American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves okay this is a slander this is a slander when he says the Afghan forces were not willing to fight in this war themselves 50

32:23 000 Afghans were killed over the last seven years fifty thousand fighting the Taliban if there's a reason why the Afghan forces collapsed here in the Afghan forces collapsed here because the United States removed all possible logistical support okay so let's begin at the beginning April 14th is just a couple of months ago here is Joe Biden announcing the withdrawal I'm now the fourth United States president to preside over American troop presidents in Afghanistan two Republicans two Democrats I will not pass this responsibility onto a fifth after Consulting closely with our allies and partners with our military leaders and intelligence personnel with our diplomats and our development experts with the Congress and the vice president as well as with Mr ghani and many others around the world I've concluded that it's time to end America's longest war it's time for American troops to come home

33:22 okay and then he pledged that there would be continued American support for for example the Afghan Air Force okay here is the problem as reported by The Wall Street Journal when he I mean it's the reason the Afghans turned tail and ran is because they did not their entire operational structure was built around American Support quote from the Wall Street Journal the Afghan army fighting alongside American troops was molded to match the way the Americans operate the US military the world's most advanced relies heavily on combining ground operations with air power using aircraft to resupply outposts strike targets Ferry the wounded and collect reconnaissance and intelligence in the wake of President Biden's withdrawal decision the U.S pulled the terror support intelligence and contractors servicing Afghans planes and helicopters that meant the Afghan military simply could not operate anymore

34:10 in other words the force stopped existing when the United States which had built the entire force around U.S support with through the support according to the Daily Beast by the way it goes even further than that quote the country's mostly us provided air fleet was dependent on foreign contractors to assist with maintenance as the US withdrawal took hold the bite Administration refused to allow contractors into the country to service the aircraft effectively grounding some of the Afghan Air Force at the same time as the US had withdrawn direct air support to Afghan forces Afghan officials had hoped to draw back time to the beginning of winter could buy them more time to strengthen defense against the Taliban the Biden Administration ignored and pushed ahead with its own timeline so just to get this straight we told we didn't only remove our own air force from the place we also refused to allow civilian contractors

34:54 into the country to help the Afghans handle their own Air Force malfunction issues the Afghans were literally on Zoom calls pointing their laptops at the helicopters being like guys can you help us that's what Biden did then he's like oh yeah and then they just they dissolved I mean they obviously didn't have the will or alternatively you completely undercut their ability to fight alternatively that and by the way negotiated continuously with the Taliban against the advice of the Afghan government now Biden started lying about the Afghan government too he was like well you know they just wouldn't cut a deal with the Taliban what deal was there to be cut with the Taliban I'm missing it was there a deal cut with the Taliban that looked real good over here because I'm sort of missing that the number of Lies the number of Lies here it and by the way the biggest lie here it really isn't an insane lie

35:42 and he says it over and over as we'll get to in just a second is that because the Afghan military collapse this proves we needed to leave okay that is sort of like arguing that because the murder rate Rose after the Police Stopped policing in America's major cities this is a great argument for defund the police yeah no bleep when you remove America's support it turns out terrorists take over is this an argument for removing America's support why and how explain and if the idea is that you remove the people who stand between the good guys and the bad guys and then the bad guys take over this is an argument for removing the people who stand between I'm missing the argument why status quo with status quo and by the way he doubled down on this too right he said you know it's if we no matter when we left this would have happened there's some very brave and capable Afghans special forces units and

36:35 soldiers sort of Afghanistan is unable to mount any real resistance of the Taliban now there is no chance that one year one more year five more years or 20 more years the US military boots in the ground would have made any difference here's what I believe to my core it is wrong to order American troops to step up in Afghanistan's own armed forces would not so I'm left again to ask of those who argue that we should stay how many more generations of America's daughters and sons would you have me send to fight Afghans Afghanistan's Civil War when Afghan troops will not how many more lives American lives is it worth how many endless rows of headstones with Arlington National Cemetery this is the most cynical nonsense it's cynical nonsense we haven't had an American combat casualty in Afghanistan in a year and a half you may as well be asking how many more American lives are we willing to risk to

37:48 have thousands of troops in South Korea or bases in Germany or bases in Okinawa the hell is he talking about he's acting as though this is 2011 in Afghanistan it is not it is 2021 in Afghanistan she's just lying that's just a lie and again the idea that a little more time wouldn't matter at all well it certainly would have mattered in the sense that we maybe could have helped them restructure their military to the point where they weren't completely reliant on American Air Support it's just what what a damned liar he is and the lies get worse we'll get to that in a second I mean they just kept getting worse and worse and worse this bloviating idiot there's more in a second first I value a good night's sleep I need one right now like really really badly and that is why I cannot wait to get home and use my pillow products as you know my pillow has a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of their life my pillow

42:14 podcast and Radio Show in the nation foreign well after Joe Biden finished blaming the Afghan military for its own collapse and and blaming Donald Trump he then just started saying very silly things so this I think was the silliest thing that he said in his entire ridiculous submission speech here he said that our enemies would have been very upset if we'd stayed in Afghanistan this is asinine at a level Beyond most acidity it's like record levels of assoninity here is is Joe Biden I mean I I honestly you you lose words when when you hear things this stupid it's as though you're being spoken to by an alien intelligence that does not speak English anymore except it's really old and has to drink cans of Ensure and is barely sentient here's our barely sentient president our true strategic competitors China and Russia would love nothing more than the United States to continue to funnel billions of

43:14 dollars in resources and attention in the stabilized in Afghanistan indefinitely thank you oh is that what they'd like interesting China and Russia want us to want us to stay so what they would really hate is if we were to leave right that's when that's when they would be like right now they're quaking in their boots because we pulled out of Afghanistan and abandoned hundreds of thousands of people to The Tender Mercies of the worst people on Earth and we not only abandon our allies and completely undercut our allies we then celebrated ourselves and in doing so probably they like nothing has made them tremble and Quicken their boots more than this unless it was us abandoning you know parts of the Ukraine to to Russia or abandoning Hong Kong to China the United States over the last 20 years has become very good at abandoning allies it's it's pretty impressive normally a good foreign policy requires

44:00 you to be a good friend and a horrible enemy right now we are a horrible friend and a fairly good enemy simple fact okay so here's the thing this is so easily debunkable but we'll do it anyway Joe Biden says right there that China and Russia wanted us to stay in Afghanistan and that they would be upset with us leaving Afghanistan weird because China immediately seized on us leaving to say that they will recognize the Taliban and will now work with the talibans who increase Chinese influence in the region via their belt and Road initiative according to foreign policy magazine China hopes to get its hands on Afghanistan's trillion dollar rare Earth's medal they have mountains made of rare Earths over there which is the rarest minerals for their part the Taliban are already saying they're happy to work with the Chinese they don't give a crap the Chinese are imprisoning a million Muslim uyghurs

44:46 in John Chang China's Embassy in Afghanistan by the way our Embassy is getting invaded China's Embassy is still open over there so everything's going great with Taliban with China China has also solidified relations with Pakistan presenting a solid face against India so the possibility of conflicts with India has increased also just to add some insult to injury the Chinese Global times which is a an official CCP Outlet is it an official Chinese Communist Party All at CCP Outlet they tweeted out from what happened in Afghanistan those in Taiwan should perceive that once a war breaks out in the Straits the Island's defense will collapse in hours U.S military won't come to help as a result the DPP that's the Democratic People's Party of Taiwan will quickly surrender so yeah clearly they are they are you know they're very upset that we left clearly they're already already threatening Taiwan

45:36 and this is their goal by the way their goal here is to threaten Taiwan into basically electing friendly governments the way that happened in Hong Kong they're hoping to do this without having to fire a shot but if they have to fire a shot they're really not particularly afraid of the United States they added quote once a cross Straits War breaks out while the mainland seizes the island with forces the other would have had to have a much greater determination than it had for Afghanistan Syria and Vietnam if it wants to interfere sounds an awful light like an awful lot like uh Osama Bin Laden in the aftermath of USS Cole right the United States is a paper tiger it is a weak horse I can do whatever I want and the US won't do anything see betraying weakness on the global stage is a horrible idea by the way the Chinese it's not just completely Sound and Fury apparently the people's Liberation Army Eastern theater command

46:25 on Tuesday dispatched warships aircrafts and fighter jets for joint live fire assault drills in the southwest and Southeast areas off the island of Taiwan as a response to recent moves by the U.S and Taiwan secessionists so China is already militarily threatening Taiwan in order to presumably get them to elect some sort of conciliatory government that will allow Taiwan to be subjected to the same tyranny as Hong Kong foreign policy aborts of vacuum Joe Biden created a vacuum our enemies are rushing into the vacuum see we can quit a war it doesn't mean our enemies did guys we can quit a war and we can walk away and we can abandon our allies it doesn't mean that the bad guys just go away that is not how any of this works I know that we've spun into our memories the idea that abandoning Vietnam was a good foreign policy choice it only led to the deaths of two million people in Cambodia hundreds of thousands

47:12 of people floating off the coast in boats that's what it led to abandoning Iran never had any bad consequences and this is this is all just it's patter for boobs who don't follow foreign policy closely and Biden knows that he knows that all right he didn't stop there because it never stops there Joe Biden also decided it was necessary to Gaslight the rest of us I think my favorite part of this or my favorite I mean worst is that Joe Biden he gives the speech right he gets his big surrender speech and in his surrender speech he then lies and says don't worry we're still supporting the Afghan people no I've noticed you're not that's that's what I've noticed call me crazy I don't think they feel very supported right now here's Biden we will continue to support the Afghan people we will lead with our diplomacy our International influence and our humanitarian Aid we'll continue to push for regional diplomacy and engagement to

48:10 prevent violence and instability will continue to speak out for the basic rights of the Afghan people of women and girls just as we speak out all over the world I've been clear the human rights must be the center of our foreign policy not the periphery but the way to do it is not through endless military deployments it's with our diplomacy our economic tools and rallying the world to join us oh this pathetic saddled sack of crap my God truly truly unbelievable don't worry guys you know we're we haven't abandoned the people of Afghanistan I'm gonna say words you know what the Taliban takes super seriously verbiage this is their big thing if you send them a really pissed off missive the Taliban are like whoa you know when you had actual air bases here and you're dropping bombs on us that was one thing but now that Joe Biden is gonna say things the guy who just withdrew and let us take over he's gonna say stuff and

49:15 because he says stuff we've decided women can go to school again we will lead with our diplomacy our International influence and our humanitarian Aid we need to send the humanitarian Aid to the Taliban how's that going to work exactly our International influence with what the 8th Century cavemen our diplomacy oh well I mean if we send a few engraved letters via the U.S embassy that no longer exists in Afghanistan then things will probably be fine we'll speak out for the basic rights of the Afghan people we'll speak out just as we do all over the world you know we'll say we'll say stuff well hashtag hashtag Bring Back Our Girls hashtag we stand with Afghanistan hashtag so many I mean there are so many hashtags the power of hashtag will emerge Victorious once again that is Joe Biden's plan in Afghanistan he's been clear he says that human rights will be the center of our foreign policy not the periphery the basic human

50:07 right will be for the Taliban to come and just kill everyone that's that's a pretty big human right but you know he'll say stuff he'll say stuff when you know between episodes of Matlock he's got a t-boat skelock a few minutes in between to really frame a nice tweet or more importantly have one of his AIDS frame the Tweet so you can go back to sleep and get his sleepy time in if the lies continued then he said you know what we we are we are making sure that we are evacuating everyone that's what we're doing we're really making clear that like our plans are in place we're a little surprised by how fast this went but we're evacuating everybody our troops are working to secure the Airfield and I'm sure continued operation of both the civilian and Military flights we're taking over Air Traffic Control we have safely shut down our Embassy and transferred our diplomats our diplomatic presence

51:02 is now Consolidated at the airport as well operation allies refugee which I announced back in July has already moved 2 000 Afghans who are eligible for special immigration visas and their families to the United States amazing well a stunning number 2 000 Afghans eligible for special immigration visas and their families have moved out that's incredible what what an amazing feat out of a hundred thousand people a hundred thousand by the way there are still ten thousand American citizens in the country many of them are residents journalists or Aid workers most are trying to escape U.S state Department sent out a tweet yesterday I kid you not in which they said make sure you file your paperwork properly then they took down the Tweet because they realized how dumb that sounded and people are going to be filing their paperwork to get out of Afghanistan as the Taliban take over and start shooting

51:54 people according to the Washington Post editorial board the state department and defense department basically now have two options negotiate safe passage for American citizens with the Taliban if possible or send the US military out in the city to bring Americans back to the airport before the Taliban gangs find them officials working on these cases inside the government told me they have no clear guidance from the White House and not enough support also the state department is dealing with more than 80 000 Visa applications for Afghans who worked with the United States government or find themselves at risk by the way that is a very low estimate that's just the number of people who have applied in the last like couple of weeks if they could apply I am sure hundreds of thousands of more people would want to get out in a joint statement the state department of Pentagon said well you know our big mission is to secure the

52:40 Kabul Airport there yeah I love that when Biden says our troops are working to secure the Airfield you know you might want to think of that before you pulled out all the troops you have you dope you might want to think of it but before you know the Afghans were actually jumping onto the wheels of planes to escape you might have wanted to think about all of that that might have been a Thing Worth thinking about the statement said quote tomorrow and over the coming days you will be transferring out of the country thousands of American citizens who have been residents in Afghanistan as well as thousands of Afghans who are in danger but even the mission to secure the airport is going to rise as the Washington Post on Monday U.S troops shot dead at least two armed men who are among the masses storming the airport as a Monday afternoon U.S officials said the flights to and from the airport had

53:20 stalled there's one U.S military plane where the the people who are Staffing the plane that so many Afghans climbed onto like hundreds of extra Afghans trying to escape climbing on the plane and you want to talk about actual empathy the pilots of the plane the staff of the plane the American Military talk about brave people they said okay we're over capacity we're taking off anyway they said 640 people on that plane that is what American soldiers do American cowards act like like President Biden Acts American that this was I think the most stunning thing on TV yesterday in terms of the commentaria there's an American Veteran his name is Matt Zeller he was on MSNBC with former four-star general Brian Williams who still has you know when he's not dodging sniper fire in in Iraq uh he was on with uh with Matt Zeller and Brian Williams came on after the Biden speech and talked about how wonderful Biden was

54:11 and then matzella proceeded to just crap all over him I feel like I watched a different speech than the rest of you guys I was appalled there was such a profound bold-faced lie in that speech the idea that we planned for every contingency I have been personally trying to tell this Administration since it took office I've been trying to tell our government for years that this was coming we sent them plan after plan on how to evacuate these people nobody listened to us they didn't plan for the evacuation of our Afghan wartime allies they're trying to conduct it now at the 11th Hour the thing that they were most concerned about was the Optics of a chaotic evacuation well they got exactly what they were most concerned of by failing to do what was right when we could have done it correct correct this is correct and button didn't stop there I mean it just it was just a con it was just a fire hose of Lies

55:06 where's the fact check where's Daniel Dale at CNN to debunk all the lies I thought fats matter facts first well here's Joe Biden continuing to lie he says well you know some people might be wondering why we didn't start evacuating people sooner it's everybody else's fault oh you thought it was his fault no no no no no no it's every it's your fault probably it's everybody's fault aren't we all at fault in the end aren't we all just Sinners before in the hands of an Angry God here is Joe Biden I know there are concerns about why we did not begin evacuating afghan's civilians sooner part of the answer and some of the Afghans did not want to leave earlier still hopeful for their country and part of it because the Afghan government and its supporters discouraged us from organizing the mass activists to avoid triggering as they said crisis of confidence okay so um a question he says you know the Afghan government and its supporters

56:08 they told us not to organize the mass Exodus because it would trigger a crisis of confidence oh is that is that what happened is that really interesting so you were saying let's get everybody out and the Afghan government was like please don't do that because it'll undermine the possibility of us fighting back and so Joe Biden was like okay or alternatively Joe Biden was saying last month none of this would happen flashback Joe Biden last month you wonder why people didn't flee because the president of the United States said last month no one needed to flee everything was fine all is well between this withdrawal and what happened Vietnam with some people feeling none whatsoever zero what you had is you had entire Brigade breaking through the gates of our Embassy six if I'm not mistaken the Taliban is not the South the North Vietnamese Army they're not they're not remotely comparable in terms of capability

57:00 there's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a Embassy in the of the United States from Afghanistan it is not at all comfortable so maybe people didn't flee because the president of the United States was lying to them a month ago okay and then the lies just continued he said well you know what if the Taliban start attacking people we'll do something about that won't we will ah we're gonna loviate yes because well I'm not afraid to use four says the man who just pulled out 2 500 troops for no reason and then has to send in 7 000 troops to secure the surrender of the 25 2500 troops were leaving there's the president as we carry out this departure we have made it clear to the Taliban if they attack our Personnel or disrupt our operation the U.S presence will be Swift and the response will be Swift and forceful will defend our people with devastating

58:01 Force if necessary our current military mission we shorten time Limitless scope and focused in its objectives get our people and our allies as safely as quickly as possible oh yeah I'm sure he's so credible okay then Biden after blaming every other human being on Earth you blame the Afghan military blame Trump he Blends everybody it's everybody's fault except for this guy then he says the buck stops with me oh yes I believe you sir I sure sure I am president of the United States of America and the buck stops with me I'm deeply saddened by the facts we now face for they do not regret my decision to end America's War fighting in Afghanistan and maintain a laser focus on our counterterrorism emissions there and other parts of the world I cannot and will not ask our troops to fight on endlessly in another in another country's Civil War taking casualties suffering life-shattering injuries leaving

59:11 families broken by grief and loss this is not in our national security interest it is not what the American people want it is not what our troops who have sacrificed so much over the past two decades deserve okay our troops by the way I hope you've talked to somebody who served in Afghanistan there is no one more devastated today by what Joe Biden has done than the people who served in Afghanistan who spent their lives we left their limbs in Afghanistan in order to preserve America against terrorists taking over that place this ass just pulled everybody out to let the Taliban take over in the name of those soldiers yeah I think not I think not if the buck stops with Joe Biden then it stops with Joe Biden the thousands of corpses in the streets those will be on Joe Biden the women will get hit with acid in the face that is on Joe Biden the rebuilding of Terror groups in Afghanistan will be on Joe Biden a

1:00:12 movement by China into the regional Beyond Joe Biden Chinese more aggressive movement in the South China Sea and against Taiwan will be on Joe Biden Russia's more aggressive movement with regard to the Middle East Syria Iran that will be on Joe Biden Iran and Hezbollah moving on Israel that will be on Joe Biden when you create a vacuum in American foreign policy someone else takes over and will all be on Joe Biden the buck indeed stops with him and so do the corpses they stop at his door because he created this he owns it and even though he tried to blame everybody else on Earth he is the one who owns it in the end he has created The Saigon it's amazing he spent a month trying to claim Saigon wouldn't happen and then Saigon happened and now he's bragging about it he concluded his speech by bragging that this was just like Saigon remember a month ago Saigon was a disaster this would never be like Saigon

1:00:57 never now it's exactly like Saigon and he's happy about it I made a commitment to the brave men and women who served this nation that I wasn't going to ask them to continue to risk their lives in the military action that should have ended long ago our leaders did that in Vietnam when I got here as a Young Man I will not do it in Afghanistan okay so there he is right he says the the ending of the war in Vietnam was supposed to end it was supposed to end right what happened in saigoni the Democratic Congress defunded the South Vietnamese government it took four and a half months after that defunding against the advice of Gerald Ford for the Vietcong to overrun Saigon and Frost they have to evacuate our Embassy and for hundreds of thousands of people to float off the coast in boats and for two million people be killed in Cambodia Joe Biden thinks that was good in the end after all of this after all

1:01:49 of this after he said this wasn't going to be like Saigon it wasn't going to be like Vietnam wasn't me like any of that he says you know what it is like that and it's good that it's like that because Vietnam for so many people like Joe Biden the Vietnam syndrome is not something to be avoided it is something to be championed a weak America on the foreign policy stage is good Joe Biden does not see America's interests as interests to be pursued by a variety of ends ranging from The Diplomatic to the military and sometimes in tandem instead he sees diplomacy as the end in and of itself military force is always bad and I'm seeing a lot of people on the right today saying things like well you know now that we're bringing these military well we're not spending 40 million 40 billion bucks in Afghanistan every year and we're not having the American Military in Afghanistan this will allow us to redeploy show of hands

1:02:36 who thinks we're going to redeploy to the southern border anybody show of hands who thinks that we're going to up our Naval forces in the South China Sea with the resources we just saved in Afghanistan or confront the Russians or confront the Iranians now who thinks that what Joe Biden just did is going to be the predicate for a series of regional surrenders around the globe to other heterogeneous powers or interested in seizing power against the interests of the United States this is the same Administration that is busily working to surrender to China this is the same Administration that is busily working to Grant power to Russia by green lighting the Nordstrom 2 pipeline this is the same Administration that is attempting to currently negotiate a deal with the monocracy in Iran this is not a this is not a bug in the system Joe Biden is happy about it he does not look at what's happening in

1:03:28 Afghanistan as an unfolding incipient disaster it was his goal it's what he wanted he bragged about it yesterday and by the way he then took like two questions turned around left everyone went back on vacation that's how much empathetic Grandpa cares that's how much he cares because he thinks this is a victory for him and they're members of the press who are already championing it you're already starting to see editorial boards from the left going oh well you know it is heroic after all I mean that speech I mean that really was an amazing speech and if people on the right fall for this crap seriously if they fall for the idea that this was somehow good for the United States I don't know what to tell you the world has a habit of clocking American isolationist tendencies in the aftermath like uh one of the things that Joe Biden said here and he continues to say it is that the United States basically has

1:04:15 no interest in the in the outcome of wars in other countries well we kind of do when it turns out that they have an impact on us it's happened many many times in American history or sort of non-interventionist policy ends up bearing some pretty rotten fruit ranging all the way back to America's non-intervention in the Russian Civil War of 1917-1918. where we basically just stood aside let the Communists take over with like a skeleton force that only led to 70 years of Cold War the United States did not actually leave any sort of troops in Europe in the aftermath of World War One leading to the rise and reconstitution of the Nazi power see the thing is this when it comes to foreign policy foreign policy is very often about the risk that you take to to to stop things that have not yet materialized and so it's very easy for people who are isolationists to say well nothing's materialized it would have

1:05:06 been that way anyway it's very easy to say okay you know 20 years in Afghanistan what did we get for our money what did we get for it and the answer typically from people on the right has been what we got is no 911s that was the cost right the cost was no 911s no Global Al Qaeda power that was the cost right that's what we got that was what we bought with all that blood and treasure that's what we got and people on the isolationist right and on the far left they will say things like well you know maybe that was going to happen anyway maybe it was over already how do you know well there's no way to prove a negative right we can't we can't say for sure that if the United States had never done anything in Afghanistan that there that that Terror attacks wouldn't have stopped maybe they would have stopped who knows who knows but there is one thing that is certain when the United States removes itself from the world's

1:05:53 fear the world becomes more dangerous for the United States not less the world is not kind to people who cower behind their own borders the world is not kind to people who sit and do nothing on the global stage particularly world powers the world is not kind to those people because you can either you can either fight the battles when they are far away and when they require a minimum of blood and toil as they do now right not at the beginning of the Afghan war now when we were talking about 44 billion dollars a year and zero American lives lost per year or it can wait until Global Powers have decided that they see a vacuum and they move and the world has become ever more costly that is the lesson of the 20th century it seems as though we're going to have to relearn it in the 21st alrighty we'll be back here today with another hour of content coming up soon the Matt Walsh show airs at 1 30 PM
