Chuck Schumer dances As Americans are stuck in Kabul the Biden Administration has no good answers to just why Joe Biden is disconnected from reality and Isis is on the rise again I'm Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show Today's Show is sponsored by expressvpn stand up for your digital rights take action expressvpn.com Ben we'll get to all the news in just one moment there's a lot of it none of it is good we'll get to that in just one second first take a look at your cell phone bill if you're with Verizon or at T or T-Mobile you're paying too much it's time to switch over to Pure Talk Pure Talk can save your family over 800 a year it's a lot of money now the same great coverage because Pure Talk is on the exact same network as one of the big three but at a fraction of the price and switching is super easy all you have to do is switch out your sim card you can keep your phone keep your number or get huge

discounts on the latest iPhones and Androids plus right now you get unlimited talk text and six gigs of data for just 30 bucks a month and if you go over on the data they're not going to charge you for it there's a reason Pure Talk is the highest rated Wireless company by consumer affairs and why they are the preferred Wireless partner of AMAC right now you should switch over your coverage because you could be saving yourself a lot of money plus if from your cell phone you do this you dial pound 250 and say my name Ben Shapiro you will save an additional 50 percent off your very first month you're already saving a lot of money and 50 off your first month when you go to pound two five zero on your phone and say Ben Shapiro to get started with my friends over at pure talk USA save yourself hundreds of dollars a year Pure Talk us hates out pound two five zero say my name Ben Shapiro to get started alrighty

so apparently the leadership of the democratic party they just don't care very much I'm not sure how else to read their activities this weekend you had Nancy Pelosi off in Napa Valley dining with the DCCC and you had Chuck Schumer dancing it up with Stephen Colbert in New York City this is kind of an astonishing tape given the fact that there are currently thousands of American citizens stuck in Kabul and the Senate Majority Leader is dancing it up with Stephen Colbert according to the New York Post Senate Senator Chuck Schumer was ripped on Twitter for dancing with Stephen Colbert backstage at the we love NYC concert amid the ongoing catastrophe in Afghanistan and as the coronavirus pandemic continues to Surge across the U.S backstage Antics wrote mayor De Blasio's press secretary bill nyheart in a Twitter posting on Saturday before the star-studded concert in Central Park was abruptly canceled because of storms and

lightning generated by Hurricane Henry so it's uh yeah God was like no and uh and thus was the we love NYC celebration canceled here's a little bit of some incredibly awkward dancing between the Senate Majority Leader and a man who used to be funny at one point Stephen Colbert although it's been a long time it's hard to remember I know it's just a disaster area not just the dancing not just the dancing backstage between Stephen Colbert whose job it is to Target politicians and uh and Chuck Schumer the Senate Majority Leader it's just a it's one wonderful wonderful stuff happening meanwhile thousands of Americans are still stuck in Kabul with no way out and now the Taliban are openly mocking us so they put up a photo of their guys raising a Taliban flag in the same exact formation as the Marines on Iwo Jima in World War II according to the Marine Corps times in one particular image released this week members of the

Taliban badri 313 Battalion appeared to mock Joe rosenthal's iconic 1945 image of the flag raised atop Mount surabachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Taliban image Fighters belonging to Madre 313 which some are calling the taliban's elite Commando unit are shown full camouflage uniforms combat boots tactical gear and night vision goggles similar photographs released in recent days show Taliban fighters carrying weapons and equipment issued by the United States or alliedations including M4 carbines and what appear to be Trijicon Advanced combat Optical gun sights or acogs the images are a noticeable departure from traditional depictions of Taliban fighters who seldom appeared with heavy Weaponry or in full military Garb spoils left behind by the Afghan Army so things are going really well they're going even better than that actually it turns out that over at the airport a Fox news reporter is suggesting Lucas

Tomlinson that the Taliban have been stepping up attacks on Afghans outside Abigail airport they've been tearing up passports and other vital documents one Afghan trying to escape says the Taliban knocked his wife's teeth out at a checkpoint which of course is no shock at all you have to understand that the Kabul Airport you think of an airport as like a big place with a lot of runways Kabul Airport is not a big place with a lot of runways Kabul Airport is a postage stamp Bagram airport which we ridiculously surrendered to the Taliban for no apparent reason was a very large airport Kabul is one Runway literally one all the Taliban have to do to knock out the ability of anyone to fly anything out of Afghanistan at this point is send one more to round into the runway that's it and everybody knows this which is why they are treating the Taliban with kid gloves meanwhile the Taliban are basically screening whoever

goes through the checkpoint the security and this has resulted not just in Afghans being targeted but also in Americans being targeted as well Lloyd Austin the Secretary of Defense he admitted over the weekend that Americans are basically being beaten by the Taliban as they approach these checkpoints if you have an American passport and if you have the right credentials the Taliban has been allowing people to uh to to pass safely through not in all cases there's no such thing as an absolute and this kind of environment as you would imagine uh Martha there there have been incidents of uh people uh you know having some some tough encounters with with Taliban as we learn about those uh incidents we certainly go back and engage the Taliban leadership and and uh and press home to them that our expectation is that they allow uh you know our people with the with the appropriate credentials to get through

the through the checkpoints oh well you know as long as we're as long as we're conveying our feelings to the Taliban obviously that will change things by the way the state department guidance right now is utterly unclear they're basically saying we can't guarantee your safety to get to the airport you should wait until we get back to you and give you instructions but also don't call us because we're overwhelmed so it remains a complete crap show over in Kabul meanwhile Tony blinken is trying to explain that the best way to get to the Kabul Airport is to go yourself we're not going to be sending soldiers out there the way that the British have the way the Italians have like there are other people who are out there what the ukrainians have like they're sending their military into the city to go pick up their citizens and bring them back but apparently not the United States Tony blinken is saying basically you

have to get there yourself and we'll try to figure out a way to get you out but we can't guarantee your safety getting there but also we're not going to come get you so imagine for a second that you were now you weren't American stuck in Afghanistan what would you do at this point would you try to Brave the thousands of people are now surrounding the Kabul Airport including Taliban fighters to get through there let's say you're an American woman and you're trying to get through how would this go for you do you feel perfectly comfortable that you would get through the Phalanx of Taliban fighters and barbarians who are now guarding the airport Tony blinken says well you know we're doing our best the best way the most effective way the way I'm focused on to get folks in again is to be in direct contact with them uh and to help guide them in to give them instructions on where to go uh when to

go there and then we can we can bring them into the airport safely and effectively so they are still effectively on their own getting to the airport uh again uh we found that the the best way to do this is to be in direct touch with them um president secretary of defense have been clear that we will uh do whatever it takes to get Americans uh home and and out of Harm's Way oh you'll be in touch with them you see you'll talk them through it yes I'm sure that as people hear stories about people having to crap eat out of them by the Taliban their first thought is well probably I'm just going to go there you know I mean like what's it what could be the harm exactly meanwhile Jake Sullivan the National Security advisor he admits there's still several thousand Americans trying to get out of Kabul now remember none of this counts presumably the hundreds or thousands of Americans who are not in Kabul right

this is just the Americans who are in Kabul but they're Americans at ngos all over Afghanistan a lot of those people ain't coming home a lot of it and I promise you a year from now there can be videos of Americans in Afghanistan who are being held hostage by the Taliban if you think that American involvement in Afghanistan ended with Joe Biden declaring that American involvement in Afghanistan is over uh just watch the news for the next year or so here's Jake Sullivan exactly how many Americans are left behind in Afghanistan well Nora the U.S government doesn't actually know the precise answer to that question and that's because we ask every American who comes to Afghanistan to register with the U.S embassy but when people leave they often don't deregister and even some who come never register in the first place well the clock is ticking the deadline is approaching it's just 12 days away you think you can have

all that buttoned up by then we can move thousands of people every single day between now and the end of the month we have plenty more seats on flights than we believe that there are possibly Americans still in Afghanistan yeah yeah so they have no idea how many people are actually there meanwhile Fox News is Trey angst he says there is no clear plan in place to rescue the Americans or outside of Kabul just remember again not all of the Americans are in Kabul the question we keep hearing whether it's people reaching out online saying we have relatives or friends trapped in Kabul or elsewhere they keep asking what's the plan have you heard anything who can I contact to make sure that my loved ones get to the airport and while there is a limited plan to get countries including the United States on the ground here to evacuate those who can make it to the airport there is no clear plan in place

to save the thousands of Americans who are not only spread out around Kabul but in other cities head up Kandahar smaller cities around the country and they have no way to get here all of this because Joe Biden decided to precipitously pull out with no warning right with that without really any plan he said we're gonna pull out April 14th but he didn't start actually evacuating people so instead we just moved the military out and we left all the material and human beings behind which is precisely the opposite of what you would do even if you're in favor of the withdrawal which again I think is is politically foolish I think it's geostrategically idiotic but even if you're in favor of the withdrawal even if you think that this is something that had to be done may as well do it sooner rather than later you at least have to leave the soldiers in there long enough to make sure that we get our stuff and people out instead we

just handed our military technology over to the Taliban we abandoned our air bases we completely had we basically cut our own hamstrings so we can't actually effectuate a way of getting people out of there to the point where now we not only do we not have an ability to get people out of there the Biden Administration is openly at this point talking about bombing all of the people and and resources that we left there so the idea is we left all of these military resources behind maybe we should bomb them maybe we should just blow up all the military resources according to axios the Biden Administration is considering launching airstrikes against the larger equipment they fear that such a move could provoke the Taliban at a time when the US is focusing on evacuating people from Afghanistan again this is because we've left these people in charge these barbarians are in charge we are no longer in charge over there

according to Politico in the chaos of the moment it's unclear to U.S officials how much equipment the Taliban has eased and how much of that sits unattended on bases and in small combat outposts across the country that uncertainty over the status of a massive Arsenal is sparking fears via Regional arms Bazaar that could be a boon to terrorist groups and insurgents the images that have spread across the world over the past week of Taliban fighters posing in front of captured helicopters and light attack a craft light attack aircraft have allowed the group to further humiliate the former Afghan and American governments but these images don't concern long-time extremism Watchers as much as the proliferation of guns bullets and grenades so now I guess we're going to have to send troops back in to blow all that stuff up so this has been just wonderful CNN meanwhile reporting there really is no access to the airport

the Americans have closed all the gates access there is no access to the airport at the at the moment except through one of British access point called Camp Baron which is on the outskirts of the airport where people are processed there and then moved into the airport once they've been cleared to fly out now that has been the case now for many hours yeah to say I'm Kylie at CNN reporting as of yesterday Sky News also reporting on the chaos and saying yeah no things are not organized out here this is an emergency now it's nothing to do with process they're just trying to save lives tens of thousands trying to get through at the front they're being crushed paratroopers calling people from the Mayhem Medics rushing from the next casualty to the next and the next the soldiers spray the crowd with a hose anything to cool them down men women and lots and lots of children thank you and then what we feared the inevitable

is this a stabilized withdrawal from Afghanistan it looks like death to me okay so that is a report from Sky News things going great though according to the Biden Administration by the way there have been at least 20 deaths in the last week during the Kabul Airport evacuation effort according to Nato that's how all things are going over there including by the way a child like at least a couple of children seven people were crushed just over the weekend in panic at the airport so things are going absolutely swimmingly thousands continue to try to flee the country the British military on Sunday acknowledged at least seven deaths at the airport and again Apparently one of the people who was killed was a two-year-old apparently soldiers had covered several corpses in white clothing other troops stood on concrete barriers trying to calm down the crowd others may have been trampled suffocated

or suffered heart attacks as Taliban fighters fired into the air to try to drive back the crowds as well and apparently the the temperatures have reached about 93 degrees Fahrenheit over there so uh so things are very hot and uh and and sticky and just it it's pretty terrible all the way through meanwhile who's actually setting the rules here it's pretty obvious the Taliban are setting the rules we'll get to that in just one second first let us talk about your Sleep Quality so here's the reality I've been recommending the Helix Sleep mattress you for quite a while but you don't just sleep on your bed right you gotta take a nap you lay on your couch don't you well what if you had a couch that was just as excellent as your Helix Sleep mattress this is what Helix was thinking when they launched a new company called all form they are making premium customizable sofas and chairs shipped directly to

talking about over and over and over right we're going to get out by August 31st and he's asked well are you going to stay longer if they're still Americans on the ground and he was like we'll do our best to get out before August 31st and then George Stephanopoulos asked him last week but you will extend that line and Biden said yeah maybe we'll extend the deadline so yesterday Joe Biden said maybe we'll extend the deadline again we're nine days away from the August 31st deadline will you extend that deadline or what what is your thought process on attending the evacuation operation there's discussions going on Among Us and the military about extending our hope is we will not have to extend but there are going to be discussions I suspect on how far along we are in the process okay so there are discussions on whether we're going to have to extend in the meantime in the meantime yeah the Taliban are saying you're not extending

they're like you know what we're not going to let people through and you know what this is a hostage situation now as I mentioned there's only one way out of this hostage situation for the Biden Administration that is to hand billions of dollars to the Taliban right we are going to become the chief funders of some of the worst terrorist supporters on planet Earth and the worst version on planet Earth that is what the United States has been transformed to in from the greatest fighting force on planet Earth killing tens of thousands of Taliban members every year in coordination with our Afghan allies to the people sponsoring the Taliban that is what we are going to turn into because the Taliban has now met with Sky News in Doha Qatar and here is what Sky News is reporting Taliban spokesperson Dr suhel Shaheen said quote it's a red line President Biden announced on August 31st they would withdraw all their military forces so if

they extend it that means they're extending occupation there's no need for that if the us or UK were to seek additional time to continue evacuations the answer is no or there would be consequences it will create mistrust between us if they are intent on continuing the occupation it will provoke a reaction all of that comes as Boris Johnson is personally begging with Joe Biden to extend the deadline to allow more people to flee the reign of terror of the Taliban meanwhile desperate scenes grow at Kabul International Airport according to Sky News people are prepared to leave everything and risk their lives to escape life under the militants group rule when pressed on this issue that people are Clinging On to aircraft leaving the country and that that is far from routine Dr Shaheen he's probably he's probably a great doctor probably Dr Shane the spokesperson for the uh for the Taliban probably an excellent doctor

he said I assure you it is not about being worried or scared they want to reside in Western countries and that is a kind of economic migration because Afghanistan is poor and 70 of the people in Afghanistan live under the poverty line so everyone wants to resettle in Western countries to have a prosperous life but it's not about being scared of the Taliban when asked about uh footage that the Taliban are going door to door and threatening people and closing down girls schools and banning women from television and when asked about a story from CNN that the brother of an Afghan translator was uh just murdered the other day like CNN is reporting that the Taliban have sentenced the brother of an Afghan translator to death according to letters obtained by CNN accusing him of helping the US and providing security to his brother who served as an interpreter to American troops so the Taliban are obviously doing all

this sort of stuff Dr chains had all fake news I can assure you there are many reports by our opponents claiming what is not based in reality Dr Shaheen said the women who stay in the country will lose nothing only if they have no hijab they will have a hijab women are required to have the same rights as you have in your country oh the heesha when pressed on this issue Shaheen said no women teachers will have resumed work lost nothing female journalists they've resumed their work well it's nothing um yeah sure they said the same thing last time by the way so um Sky News asked what the Taliban would say to the families of people who tried who of those who died at trying to help Afghanistan quote they occupied our country if we occupy your country what would you say to me what if I killed your people in your country what would you say I think all people suffered a lot Bloodshed destruction everything we

say the past is the past part of our past history now we want to focus on the future yeah sure okay so the Taliban are in charge they are they're setting the deadline and they've said there will be consequences if we move past August 31st which of course means that the United States is now basically the Taliban is playing the tune in the United States the most powerful country in the history of the world is dancing to the tune a bunch of 8th Century barbarians armed with weapons that we gave them so that's that's great the way that we are coping with this according to defense secretary Lloyd Austin is we are now ordering commercial airlines to provide passenger Jets to help with the growing U.S military operation Lloyd Austin activated stage one of the Civil Reserve air fleet created in 1952 after the Berlin airlift to provide 18 airliners to help Ferry passengers arriving at bases in the Middle East

from Afghanistan according to the Pentagon spokesperson the current activation is for 18 planes four from the United Airlines three from American Atlas here Delta Airlines and Omni air and two from Hawaiian Airlines Captain John Perkins spokesman for the military's Transportation commands had the commercial airliners would begin service on Monday or Tuesday they would fly evacuees from the Middle East to Europe and from Europe to the United States so obviously this is a well-planned well-coordinated effort when you have to call on Hawaiian Airlines to airlift people out of Afghanistan not going to say that time their normal flight schedule it's like so yesterday they were flying from you know LAX to Maui today the US military is like okay we're going to need you to redirect to Kabul I'd love to be on that flight crew gang Captain Perkins said in a telephone interview the military had requested

wide-bodied long-haul aircrafts capable of carrying several hundred passengers he said discussions had started with the airlines last week and some carriers had volunteered but the demand was great enough for Austin to order more Airlines to honor their obligations under the reserve Fleet program civilian planes would not fly into or out of Kabul or rapidly deteriorating security situations hampered instead they would help to transport thousands of Afghans arriving in Bahrain and Qatar and the UAE so they're not actually flying into Kabul but they are flying into the Middle East where they weren't flying before and they'll be flying people out of there that's how well coordinated this effort has been meanwhile Isis is back so that's exciting local staff members of the US Embassy in Kabul are deeply disheartened by U.S evacuation orders and have expressed a deep sense of betrayal according to NBC

News by the way there's a cable that said memos had been sent to Afghan staff at the embassy on Wednesday inviting them to head to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul it told them to take food and prepare for difficult conditions no one anticipated the brutal experience that occurred according to the Embassy staff staffers reported being jostled hit spat on and cursed at by Taliban fighters near the airport adding criminals were taking advantage of the chaos while the US military tried to maintain attain order in an extremely physical situation some staff members reported they were almost separated from their kids others collapsed in crush of people and had to be taken to the hospital with injuries according to the cable others said they had collapsed on the road because of heat exhaustion one staff member said it would be better to die under the taliban's bullet than face the crowds again happy to die here

but with dignity and pride said another a third accused the US of prioritizing the Afghan government Elite with contacts in America over American Embassy staffers so good times in just one second we'll get to the Isis reports because apparently Isis is back in country and uh and doing what they do best so everything is working out wonderfully first let us talk about the fact that you don't want to go to the auto parts store because who wants to go to the auto parts store now we live in a wonderful country and there are lots of services that are available to you like the interwebs so why would you stand in line in an auto parts store you get to the front of the line you get some doofus at the front who tells you all about the different parts they have and then says they are out of stock for the part you need orders it up charges you it says come back in two weeks why not just go to the internet and use rockauto.com

rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear like Airlines do why would you spend up to twice as much for the same parts that are family business serving Auto Parts customers online for 20 years go to rockauto.com shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of Manufacturers the catalog is unique remarkably easy to navigate you can quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the Brand's specifications and prices you'd prefer the last thing anyone wants to do is spend hours in auto parts store it sounds terrible go to rockauto.com right now see all the parts available for your car or truck right Shapiro in there how did you hear about his box so they know that we sent you again that's rockauto.com go check them out right now and write Shapiro in there how did you hear about his box so they know that we

sent you meanwhile in case you're wondering whether the um the terror problem in Afghanistan is going to continue to be a problem the answer is Isis is back so that's exciting stuff according to the Wall Street Journal U.S warned the Islamic State poses a threat to Americans in Afghanistan as the Biden Administration seeks to evacuate thousands of U.S citizens and Afghan allies the threat is real it is acute it is persistent it is something we are focused on with every tool in our Arsenal said Jake Sullivan the president's National Security adviser he told CNN on Sunday when asked for the crowds of Kabul International Airport are vulnerable to terrorist attacks Because by the way that is a real possibility you got a bunch of Americans and Afghan allies who are just lined up around this place all it would take is one Isis guy with an AK to mow down a bunch of those people President Biden speaking from the

White House said quote we know that terrorists May seek to exploit the situation and Target innocent to Afghans or American troops we're maintaining constant vigilance to Monitor and disrupt threats from any source concerns over Islamic State attacks were one reason the U.S embassy warned Americans on Saturday to avoid traveling to the airport in Kabul and to avoid airport Gates defense officials have said so a question if Americans can't go to the airport and they can't go to the airport gate and you're worried about ISIS killing them what are you going to do now what exactly is your plan guys Islamic state is among several terrorist groups present in Afghanistan each with a different relationship with the Taliban the Taliban had Harvard Al Qaeda before the group's terrorist attacks on the US in 2001 reports of surfaced the Taliban have freed Al-Qaeda fighters from prisons as they gained control of the

country this month Isis and the Taliban have sometimes fought over control of the territory in Afghanistan the Taliban after taking over Kabul executed the former head of Isis in South Asia who had been in a government prison assisting the U.S evacuation effort roughly two dozen countries have agreed to take in Afghan evacuees while they are processed the Biden Administration has also ordered commercial airliners to help evacuate Mr Sullivan was one of several U.S national security officials to appear on Sunday morning news programs to discuss the evacuation effort but honestly if you think things are bad now over there wait until there's National terrorist attack on the gates outside of the Kabul Airport and because then you're just relying on the Taliban who basically provide full-fledged security right now it's not just will the Taliban be nice enough to allow our people to leave if we bribe them now the question

is will the Taliban actually go to war with Al Qaeda to stop Al Qaeda from killing people who are outside the gates and that is a very real possibility given the fact that state department is now telling people not to go to the airport because they're afraid of terrorist attacks U.N officials have reported Al-Qaeda operations are still present in some areas U.S intelligence assessments have said the group could completely reconstitute in Afghanistan within 18 months to two years after an Afghan after an American withdrawal U.S officials have since said they are likely to reassess that timeline to like 15 minutes and what a a full-scale disaster so the good news is we have a president who is clearly with us a president who is clearly in control a president who has defined this policy and planned for every contingency and totally knows what's going on right now or alternatively we have a house plant

who is not with us and has not been with us for quite some time so Chris Wallace had on the Secretary of State Tony blinken who has really outdone himself this time and Tony blinken is not good at his job and he is extraordinarily not good at his job Chris Wallace on Fox News asked him you know the president keeps saying things that are not true like over and over the president said Al Qaeda isn't in Afghanistan that's not true the president has said that there is no violence outside the airport Gates that it's not true the president has suggested that the Afghan Security Forces didn't fight at all we're not capable of fighting that's not true like he said a lot of things that are not true is he with us like is the president like on this planet as of any time recently or is he just too wrapped up in that Matlock Marathon on the on cable channel 799 to pay attention to what's it like what's going

on here's Chris Wallace with Tony blink and Tony blinken's answer here is a somewhat disturbing so secretary does the president not know what's going on this is an incredibly emotional time uh for for many of us uh and including allies and partners who've been shoulder to shoulder with us in Afghanistan for 20 years so the question was does the president know what's going on and the Secretary of State's answer is it's an emotional time for us all do you feel quieted do you feel that things are going well do you feel that this President is in charge um that's not the answer you're looking for the answer you're looking for is the president knows every single thing that's going on right at this moment we are making decisions in real time we plan for every contingency sometimes those plans go wrong and we are making contingencies for the contingencies but the president is up to date and apprised

instead we get it's an emotional time I mean well let's be let's be real the emotions are running high right now uh yeah great also who's in control Secretary of State Tony blanken who's in control here's Tony blanken explaining the Taliban are in control now you should be asking yourself the question why you should be asking why and the answer of course is because Joe Biden decided to put them in control period end of story that is the only reason the Taliban are in control someone in our audience might listen to you Mr secretary and say oh so we have to ask the Taliban for permission for American citizens to leave true or not true they they are in control of Kabul that is the reality uh that's the reality uh that uh that we have to deal with how comfortable are you with that Mr secretary um my what I'm what I'm uh focused on uh what we're all focused on is getting people out and making sure that we're

doing everything possible to do that and in this case uh it uh is I think a requirement of the job uh to be in contact with uh with the Taliban which controls Kabul um if your draw is not on the floor after listening Clips like that I don't know what to tell you the most powerful country in world history has put the Taliban in charge of Kabul with thousands of American citizens still stranded in country the Taliban is in charge of the gates in terms of who gets in who gets out the Taliban is supposed to be in charge of preventing Terror attacks on Americans and Afghans people who they want to kill by the way and Tony blinken's like well you know they're in charge and when asked whether he's comfortable with that his answer is we're focused on the future hmm that's good well the good news is that at least if Biden isn't with it then Tony blinken is right I mean Tony blinken obviously is on top of this

thing here's Tony blinken talking about the people in Afghanistan that he's been in touch with what we've seen uh major is is uh is also pretty remarkable go back a week the government fell uh and by the way I was on the phone with with President Karzai the day before when he was telling me his intent as he put it to fight to the death well the next day he was gone the military collapsed um he was on the phone well last week he was on the phone with President Karzai that's weird the reason it's weird is because coming Karzai has not been president of Afghanistan since 2014.

it's now 2021. so he meant presumably Muhammad ashrafghani right who's the guy who fled but it's disquieting the Secretary of State doesn't know who the hell he was talking to a week well nor does he care let's be real about this I don't care what's going on here they don't care I mean Chuck Schumer is is dancing at like events with Stephen Colbert and Nancy Pelosi is off doing wine and dines in Napa without masks and the president is busy drinking Ensure and taking naps at 11 o'clock in the morning like no one there is no hand at this wheel there is no hand at the tiller and because there's no hand at the wheel no hand at the tiller a decision to to direct the to to essentially tie the tiller such that the ship is directed directly at an iceberg and then to be like well I guess you know if an emergency arises we'll do something the emergency is here you guys are incompetent you hadn't it's

it's it is jaw-dropping it's all jaw-dropping okay and if you were worried that it was just maybe it's just Biden staffers not Biden himself so um there is only one problem with this which is that Biden is the one who had this call and there was a tweet from axios yesterday saying Joe Biden doesn't plan to fire anyone over this well who the hell would he fire himself this is his policy beginning to end this was his policy there are two major decisions that have been made in the in the recent history of Afghanistan aside from the 2014 drawdown by Barack Obama two major events right two major events I think is fair to say one is the killing of Osama bin Laden the other is the pull out Joe Biden was on the wrong side of both of those Joe Biden opposed the raid that killed Bin Laden and now he was in favor of withdrawing with no contingency plan radically without without any sort of of advanced

for like you you would know how to do this you like the regular Regular Joe plumber Joe you would know how to do this right let's say that a flood was about to hit your house a flood was about to hit your house and you have a couple of choices one is you could leave your children and all of your belongings in your house and you could just flee and then when the flood hits you could try to row back in on a rowboat to get those things or knowing the flood is coming you could theoretically take your kids put them in the back of the cars take the boxes of stuff you want put that in the back of the car and then drive away and call the insurance company which one do you think Joe Biden did here choban was like not only is the flood coming I'm going to unleash the flood I'm going to blow up the dam right the levee's gonna break I'm gonna be responsible for that the flood is coming also I'm gonna leave my kids in the

house over here and all of my pictures all my old phones I'm just gonna leave that stuff there and hey that was an unforeseen but I had a plan for it my plan is that I was going to come back later in a rowboat that's the okay so if you just think that's his team that came up with that plan first of all we have multiple reports of people telling Joe Biden this was the dumbest plan ever this is a terrible terrible stupid thing to do and Joe Biden ignoring them because he is a dumb ban he's always been kind of a dumb man according to Barack Obama right never underestimate Joe's capacity to F things up quote Barack Obama who's his vice president okay but now we have Joe Biden who is not at the top of his game and there was never a top of his game right we're not talking about like Michael Jordan in the declining Washington Wizards years we're talking about Benoit Benjamin at the end of his career okay this is not somebody who is

like a great guy a great player who has now declined somewhat from his Peak we're talking about like The Fringe guy we're talking about like Brian scalabrini at the end of the bench and it's the waning days of his career when he can no longer move and by the way no rep on Pandora Benjamin or Brian scalabrini both of whom were much better at their jobs than Joe Biden is at his job which is saying a lot because neither one of them were like this is this is unbelievable it's incredible okay so here is Joe Biden being even less competent than usual over the weekend he he got he always gets very testy if you ask him like a tough question about the fact that he just you know blew up America's foreign policy like completely blew it up because China is ecstatic today right we just lost every base we have in the region it's not just that we lost spaces in Afghanistan we lost our bases in in Pakistan

we have no surrounding bases our nearest base is now in Qatar okay which is hundreds of miles away we have no Over the Horizon capacity we lost all of our intelligence sources on the ground who are likely to be murdered by the Taliban China is ecstatic because now they have land access they now have a basically a bridge all the way from China through Afghanistan into Iran to Syria to to Lebanon like this is all Chinese Allied territory now you got the Russians who are doing the same thing and it's it's a full-scale geopolitical disaster and if you're an American Ally you're looking at the Biden Administration going I don't trust you I'm gonna have to triangulate now I'm gonna have to look to Russia and China try to cut a few deals try to shore up you know kind of backfill some sort of National Security here it's I've never seen anything remotely like it and the president of the United States is not with us there's nothing

going on upstairs the lights are on but nobody is home and frankly the lights are dimming very very quickly here's the president of the United States getting tests you and ask questions about it um I don't trust anybody including you I love you but you know there's not a lot of people I trust okay he was asked if you trust the Taliban now and the reason is asked that is because he's trusting the Taliban to allow Americans out And the reporter says do you trust me I don't trust you man I don't trust anybody trust no one well I wish you had abided by that rule before you pulled all American soldiers out of Kabul preventing us from getting our people out if he didn't trust them why did you do this this was unnecessary this wasn't the Taliban defeated the United States military in armed combat this was not even the Taliban defeated the Afghan military in armed combat this was the United States withdrew close air support

from the Afghan military withdrew All American Military contractors allowing the Afghan Air Force to fly this is the United States completely destroyed the basis for the Afghan Army and the Afghan Army disappeared the Taliban didn't take Kabul and ground assault fighting they didn't take Kabul in hand-to-hand combat they took Kabul without firing a shot they took Kandahar without firing a shot they took Missouri Sharif without firing a shot that's because of Biden no one else just Biden that's all it's unreal now what's hilarious is that he says like these two clips back to back so he says I don't trust anybody including you I don't trust the Taliban but he's going to urge the Taliban to respect the well-beings of Afghans oh I'm sure that's what's going to happen Mr President I'm sure that's what's going to happen now you've pulled out all protective forces and destroyed all of our allies and left anyone who allied

with us at the risk of being shot in the face by the Taliban I am sure that the Taliban are thinking to themselves how can we protect the well-being of Afghans in coordination with the desires of the Biden Administration that just gave us a Apache attack helicopters the what is what the f what in the actual there's no way to do the show without the f word there's just no way here's here's the president of the United States the Taliban has a Taliban has to make a fundamental decision there's a Taliban going to attempt to be able to unite and provide for the well-being of the people of Afghanistan which no one group has ever done since before daily for hundreds of years and if it does it's going to need everything from additional help in terms of economic assistance trade and a whole range of things the Taliban is going to happen the telephone is going to have to make a decision okay so let's say they have to

make a decision who knows what decision they're going to make on the one hand they could do all the things Joe Biden wants them to do on the other hand they could tell them to go screw himself kill everyone who allied with us stuffed the women back into burqas and then back into the basement and then rape them and do whatever the hell they want I wonder which one I have an idea my hands up here I I think I know the answer I think it's a hard question I think I know the answer to this one that's what the Taliban is going to do I I think I know this is really rough by the way Joe Biden was then asked a question about Isis which again is rising in Afghanistan and here was Joe Biden's electrifying response in case you can't see that that's the president of the United States walking and daughtering out the back door I kid you not it's the president of the United States turning around and walking out the back

door yeah man this is gonna go fantastically well the good news is that if Joe Biden should uh should actually be declared incompetent which may in fact have to happen at some point here uh then the person who replaced him Kamal hair she's up for the job right oh wait we have we have video of Kamala Harris too what an Administration this is but no bad tweets no bad tweets is that a moment first the bench Shapiro show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University an affordable Christian University one of the largest fastest growing universities in the country which means on the planet located in Sunny Phoenix Arizona GCU is ranked top 20 for best college campuses in America offers over 275 engaging academic programs with over 240 online I visited Grand Canyon University a couple of years ago the student body is just spectacular it is a wonderful wonderful place GCU integrates the free market

now and in particular our priority is making sure that we safely evacuate American citizens Afghan to work with us Afghans at risk including women and children and that is one of our highest if not the highest priority right now but the good news is she's not the only one laughing I've been a lot of people laughing these days Joe Biden is laughing it up so there's a brand new poll and shows that Americans think he's doing an unbelievably crappy job on Afghanistan the new poll which is uh from NBC news or CBS News Rather CBS News you gov according to Americans there's a poll from three days ago removal of US troops from Afghanistan has gone very badly 44 somewhat badly thirty percent somewhat well 21 very well five percent so the five percent is Ron clan in the Taliban meanwhile 74 of Americans think this has either gone very badly or somewhat badly and the 21 who say somewhat well are actually in the pay of the democratic

party presumably so Joe Biden was asked about this it is hilarious to Joe Biden the new poll out today shows Americans wanted to withdraw from Afghanistan but they disapprove of the way you've handled it Paul also found it based in part in what's transpired in the last week a majority of Americans 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 it's out there um from CBS This Morning um what would you say yeah so remember that time that Donald Trump would just deny polls remember there would be people who are reading poll numbers and just be like fake news fake not real and everybody in the mood go how dare he it's a real poll what he's just not gonna believe polls now Siri Joe Biden a poll saying that most Americans think that he's not competent and Japan's like ah I don't know and then he breaks out the Caesar Romero

honestly I've never seen a vice president and a President Who both resembled the joke or bizarrely it's it's a it's a weird it's a weird thing it's very very odd but it's all fine probably it's all fine he's uh he everything is solid it's going well we're being told by this Administration that that the competence is um is at record high levels they are laser focused on what they need to do here oh boy alrighty we'll be back here a little bit later today with an additional hour of content in the meantime go check out the Michael Mills show today he discusses the spike in transit surgeries you can hear more details about that story over on Michael's show that's available right now I'm Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show if you enjoyed this episode don't forget to subscribe and if you want to help spread the word please give us a five star review and tell your friends to subscribe too we're available on Apple
