0:00 Joe Biden rejects European pleas to extend the August 31st evacuation deadline instead bowing before the Taliban and the White House tries to spin the situation as a gigantic win I'm Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show Today's Show is sponsored by expressvpn don't let big Tech track what you do anonymize your web browsing expressvpns.com Ben we'll get to all the news in just one moment first you may have noticed that inflation is just ranging out of control because of course it is that's the way this goes these days well here is the thing in the recent budget proposal the White House budget office forecasts inflation for 2021 at 2.1 percent in June the actual inflation rate was 5.4 percent while this would be a really good time to think about diversifying your assets and ensuring yourself against government-led inflation do not stick your head in the sand hedge your savings against

0:50 inflation by diversifying into gold and silver with my friends over at 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 do it today text Ben to 4747 47 get a free information kit on protecting your savings with gold I buy my gold from Birch gold they have 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 to claim you're free no obligation info kit and to speak with a precious metals expert on holding gold and silver and attacks sheltered accounts again text Ben to 47 4747 protect your savings today ask all your questions get all your answers and then think seriously about diversifying into gold and silver with my friends at Birch by texting Ben to 47 47 47.

1:34 alrighty so the latest is that Joe Biden has now resisted please from our allies to extend the withdrawal deadline of August 31st now remember it was Joe Biden who originally set that deadline of August 31st Joe Biden came in he said August 31st is the day that we are going to get out and then we can celebrate the end of the Afghanistan war by September 11th and then the talibans who came up on that and they said okay well if you mean August 31st then August 31st it shall be and now the Taliban is refusing to move off of that day despite the fact that they've taken over Kabul and are apparently obstructing efforts to get people out of Kabul so the European allies the G7 they met with Joe Biden yesterday and apparently they were telling him we need you to give us more time right we have people on the ground there we need American troops on the ground Beyond August 31st so we can get our people out

2:20 and Joe Biden said no he said that staying brings quote added risk to our troops with increasing threats from Isis well you know what would have been really nice at this point if you think about it what would have been awesome is if let's say we had you know a skeleton group like 2500 troops with Bagram Air Base under our control and let's say that we had an Afghan National Army capable of beating back the Taliban because they had close air support from the United States as well as civilian contractors on the ground holding the major cities in Afghanistan so that we could work on evacuating people if they wanted to get out and let's say that we had had that like um you know three months ago oh yes indeed we did and then Joe Biden decided you know it'd be a great idea what if we just take out all the soldiers and leave everything else behind and then shockingly we now have to put soldiers back in to get everybody

3:06 else out and now we're going to do this a second time we're going to precipitously withdraw our military in the middle of an evacuation effort now Joe Biden says that the evacuation effort right the precipitous withdrawal of the military it makes no difference says Joe Biden it's not a big deal because the people that we're getting out they're really not helping with the evacuation yet it's not it's not that big a deal here is the problem it is a rather large deal we are already removing people from on the ground right now and no matter how many times Joe Biden says well you know we can still remove here's if we're out by August 31st we have to start removing American soldiers from the ground in Kabul today right and we have we have started removing American soldiers from the ground in Kabul as people are attempting to get to the airport now that's all fun and games until it comes time for the mass evacuations to

3:54 happen and we need more people on the ground all of this really all of this Springs from A peculiar ideological failing of Joe Biden when it comes to the American Military Joe Biden believes that leaving Americans behind in Kabul is less important than getting American soldiers out of Kabul that is the basic calculation that is going on right now he believes that Americans will just forget about what's going on in Kabul that if Americans are left behind which undoubtedly there will be particularly outside of Kabul because right now we're just talking about the Americans who are in Kabul there are still presumably hundreds or thousands of Americans who are outside of Kabul still in Afghanistan who may want to get out we have no way of getting them out now his belief is that if he can just Brazen this out for a couple more weeks if he can just Brazen this out to the point where the vast majority of Americans are

4:41 out of country the media will turn from yelling at him to praising him for ending the war in Afghanistan Americans will forget about everything bad that is happening in Afghanistan and it just won't be on the front pages anymore and everything will go back to normal except he'll get credit for ending the Afghanistan war that is Joe Biden's main calculation Americans won't care about the midterm or long-term strategic consequences of pulling out of Afghanistan already that's been pushed into the background the acute crisis on the ground in Kabul has made people already forget and really not care very much about the fact that China is Sweeping in that Russia is very eager for the United States to leave Afghanistan that Iran is very eager about all of this that the United States just lost its airbases not just in Afghanistan but also in Pakistan right the American people like are not even thinking about that stuff right now

5:25 they're just thinking about the acute crisis so Biden's belief is if we can just get past this EQ crisis if we mostly solve the acute crisis most people leave us alone and my approval ratings will start to go back up again he's now down to 41 in the approval ratings what he can't have however in his own political calculation is attacks on American troops by ISIS which is again a very bizarre calculation because American soldiers are there to repel attacks from terrorists to protect American citizens Joe Biden's logic however is if we have to leave American citizens there to prevent attacks from Isis on American troops we will do that that is the precise reverse of what the American Military exists to do the American Military exists to break things and kill people in defense of Americans Joe Biden's belief is that Americans should continue to be in danger American civilians should continue to be in

6:11 danger so we can protect American troops that's not the way any of this works civilians are not there to protect the military the military is there to protect civilians and if you ask anyone serving in the military they agree with this is not an anti-military point this is a definitional point if you ask anyone in the military what is your job they would say my job is to protect Americans Joe Biden believes that apparently the Americans who are stuck on the ground in Kabul are less important than getting the troops out because Isis might attack the American troops at Kabul Airport again that is only happening as a direct result of Joe Biden withdrawing what military we had from Afghanistan in the first place and also destroying the Afghan military from the inside remember the entire Afghan military had been built along the lines of working with the American Military in terms of being able to call in close air support and

6:57 use both the American Air Force as well as the nation to Afghan Air Force which required American upkeep Joe Biden withdrew all of that and so the forces just dissolved original plan as of July was that the U.S would leave the Afghan National Army would would probably hold for another few months and then it would probably collapse and then he would say what was going to happen anyway but it didn't happen that way as soon as the US withdrew the entire thing collapsed and now you've got Americans trapped and Joe Biden's highest priority is not getting the Americans who are on the ground in Kabul out it is getting the soldiers out because he's afraid for two reasons one if there's an attack on American troops the American troops are going to have to fire back and then we're gonna have to put real troop numbers back on the ground in Kabul and the war that he was so eager about withdrawing from will have now been

7:38 heightened to its greatest Point since 2014. and we'll have no foothold in the country right so that is his great viewers that we get drawn back into the war because he's such a and because he created this situation himself that is fear number one is there will be attack on American troops the the second fear that he has is that the protraction of the conflicts will lead to political consequences so one is the conflict itself and what is the timeline of the conflict he is hoping this whole thing is over by September 11th and then he can go back to watching Matlock and spooning cream of wheat into his adult mouth right that that is his that is his greatest and most Ardent desire and all they have to do to get there is just keep lying to you and keep fitting to you and keep hoping that you stop paying attention and instead you pay attention to their budget deals and instead you pay attention to covid it's

8:19 it's Wag the everything else in order to distract from what's going on in Afghanistan and again the Baseline for success is now set so low in Afghanistan that if we get out the majority of the Americans who are on the ground Joe Biden is going to call it a success if we get out the vast majority of the Americans who are on the ground we have a few behind but we get everybody else out he's going to call that a success and say well it was always going to go this way he's already saying this like right now they're already calling it a huge success and saying it was already going to go this way even though it was not destined to go this way this is a Joe Biden decision pure and simple and even though it is certainly not a huge success the whole point for example of the evacuation of Dunkirk was to preserve the British army to fight the Nazis afterward it is not called a success when you retreat in the face of a 8th Century

9:03 goat herding Barbarian Army for no reason other than your own vanity which is what Joe Biden did right here he said here's the latest from The New York Times President Biden said Tuesday the U.S intended to withdraw completely from Afghanistan at the end of the month as planned rebuffing pleas from Britain France and other NATO allies to keep troops in Kabul and hastening the end of a frantic evacuation that has become a grim Coda to two decades of War again even the way the New York Times phrases this a grim Coda to two decades of war the United States had lost zero troops in combat since February of 2020.

9:34 the main American effort in the war ended in 2014. all media coverage is directed toward the idea that it was a it was a Bare Bones necessity for the United States to get out of Afghanistan completely that is not true and by polling data by the way the polls suggest that Americans want it out of Afghanistan but if you said to Americans should we leave like a skeleton force in there in a non-combat facility to advise the Afghan military most Americans are like okay because we do that everywhere we have American troops all over the world we have American troops in probably over 100 countries at this point even as Mr Biden spoke from the White House officials said the United States had already begun to reduce its military Presence at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul sending about 300 of the 5800 Marines and Soldiers Home in anticipation of the conclusion of their rescue mission within a week

10:20 the sooner we can finish the better said the president hours after informing world leaders of his intentions during an emergency virtual meeting citing the threat from Isis K which is like Special K except with Islamic terrorists and operating in Afghanistan he said every day we're on the ground is another day we know that Isis K is seeking to Target the airport attack both U.S and Allied Forces and innocent civilians yeah it would be great if we had like a military presence that could kill those bastards wouldn't it um yeah I wonder where that went Biden didn't close the door to extending what has become an immense evacuation effort he said he has contingency plans but um I I don't trust him on that because he said this was all planned in the first place remember it was all part of the plan Joe Biden has now taken on the full Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight perspective of the Joker which is nobody

11:02 panics if you have a plan okay well there's no plan you're just saying there's a plan and we all know this we all know this so the troop drawdown has begun according to Stars and Stripes the the president stuck to his deadline on Tuesday his decision came as the Taliban would not accept the deadline extension that's the real reason it's not because Joe Biden thinks we're going to be done by August 31st he knows we're not going to be done by August 31st you can't find a single person in an intelligence or defense position who believes that everyone who needs to be evacuated will be evacuated by August 31st they do not exist okay this is across the aisle there is bipartisan agreement across the aisle that this will not be done by August 31st what is the real reason that August 31st is the date because the Taliban again a bunch of Barbarian gold herders from the 8th Century are telling Joe Biden the

11:52 president of the most powerful military force in the history of the world what to do that is how Craven and pathetic and buffoonish this President is when it comes to foreign policy I mean that's unbelievable the Taliban the Taliban are saying you guys better leave by August 31st now the normal American response will be or what or what we have overwhelming inner power we're the most powerful military on planet Earth and if you touch us we will we will bomb you forward into the Stone Age if you if you touch us we still you have no Air Force we will still go in and we will kill so many of you it will make our heads swim and then you can talk all you want about how you took over the country you're getting a lot of bodies to bury so you're gonna let us do what we need to do or we're not leaving right we could do that but Joe Biden is so scared of the bad headline of having to actually bomb the Taliban his new

12:41 peace partners that he is now running PR for the Taliban he is now enthralled to the Taliban his bowing before the Taliban he works for them this is unbelievable a bunch of Theocratic fishistic islamo fascists telling the president of the United States what to do with Americans stuck in Kabul and he's like well all right it's the most humiliating garbage I've ever seen from an American president we've seen some pretty humiliating garbage from the American president ranging from the president having interns on their knees in the Oval Office to January 6. we've seen some pretty bad stuff from American presidents in the course of my lifetime let me just say that this makes all of this look like nothing like not a thing the president of the United States playing PR spokesperson for the Taliban remember this is the group that housed the people who committed September 11th killing 3 000 American citizens refused

13:33 to turn over Osama bin Laden these are the exact same people okay it's not a different group Mala Omar's son is on the Taliban ruling Council the head of the haqqani network which is an Al-Qaeda offshoot is on the Taliban Council and currently running Security in Kabul the co-founder of the Taliban with Mala Omar is now back in power it's the exact same human beings and Joe Biden is not just taking their their statements under advisement he's just listening to them so how many Americans are still left over there apparently the the Pentagon finally announced how many Americans were out now you'll remember as of last week it was like 2200 Americans we're out and we kept saying over and over members of the press so how many Americans are out how many Americans are out people kept asking because the Biden Administration was just giving overall evacuation figures right they were loading a lot of Afghans onto planes and

14:19 then they were saying it's thirty thousand forty thousand fifty thousand seventy thousand and Americans are saying okay right but how many of those are Americans because we've been told there are 10 to 15 000 Americans on the ground in Kabul alone forget about the rest of the country yesterday the Pentagon said that there were some 4 000 American passport holders and their families who had been evacuated so if you just do the math you're still talking about what less than a third of the Americans in Kabul who have been evacuated at this point hey our allies of course are absolutely enraged that of that is no shock at all we'll get to that in just one second first let us talk about a simple fact when you're driving around in your car a lot of people get carsick my wife tends to suffer pretty severe car sickness my sister as well and let me tell you that the best solution to this is relief band

16:32 serious question according to the UK Guardian Britain's evacuation from Kabul is now expected to end within 24 to 36 hours potentially abandoning thousands of Afghans according to defense sources yes president rejected police from the UK for the humanitarian airlift to continue beyond August 31st and this triggered claims from conservative MPS the quote special relationship is over and that us UK relations were about to enter their lowest points since Suez after the G7 UK defense sources told the guardian the US military is believed to need two to three days to close down its operations at Kabul Airport British troops want to be at least 24 hours ahead of that that means that basically everything has to start wrapping up within 24 hours of now right because if you're talking about August 31st today is August 25th that means we have six days to get out and we need at least three days for the United

17:18 States to get its military out so that means that by August 28th pretty much all the evacuation has to be done good luck good luck meanwhile Boris Johnson focused on what he called a road map for future engagement with the Taliban so now we're going to see the Europeans pretend that their their economic impact on the Taliban is going to get them to stop acting like barbarians okay so here's the president of the United States attempting to call all of the all of the qualms of the American public and the American public are very upset about this his approval rating is down to 41 and the shattering old fool is leading us here he was yesterday saying that we are on Pace to finish by August 31st however that deadline relies on our good friends the Taliban to help us we are currently on a pace to finish by August the 31st the sooner we can finish the better each day of operations brings at risk to

18:14 our troops but the completion by August 31st depends upon the Taliban continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport for those who were trans were transporting out and no disruptions to our operations oh so it'll it'll it'll go great by August 31st all it requires is for the Taliban to be our best friends that's totally gonna happen guys by the way there's only one way that actually happens and that is if we are assigning unbelievable ungodly amounts of money over to the worst force on planet Earth now is that really going to happen pretty much everybody says no there are two Representatives Seth Moulton Democrat of Massachusetts and Peter major from Michigan Republican and they secretly traveled into Kabul the government is trying to push back on this by saying it was selfish of them to go to Kabul okay first of all they hitched a flight without the government knowing about it they didn't hit your

19:04 flight back until they found a plane that had empty seats on it okay but they released a statement and this is why the government's really mad this is why the White House is pissed because these two congressmen went there to survey the situation on the ground and here's what they said as members of Congress we have a duty to provide oversight on the executive branch there's no place in the world right now where oversight matters more we conducted this visit in secret speaking about it only after our departure to minimize the risk and disruption to the people on the ground and because we were there to gather information not to grandstand we left on a plane with empty seats seated in crew only seats to ensure nobody who needed a seat would lose one because of our presence Washington should be ashamed of the position we put our service members in these men and women have been run ragged and are still running strong

19:41 their empathy and dedication to duty are truly inspiring the acts of heroism and selflessness we witnessed at Hamid Karzai International Airport make America proud we came into this visit wanting like most veterans to push the president to extend the August 31st deadline after talking with the commanders on the ground and seeing the situation here it is obvious that because we started the evacuation so late no matter what we do we will not get everyone out on time even by September 11th forget August 31st September 11th sadly and frustratingly getting our people out depends on maintaining the current bizarre relationship with the Taliban and that is according to a member of Congress the Democrats have Moulton and a republican member of Congress Peter major but Joe Biden says don't worry we're on Pace to finish by August 31st all we need is the help of the Taliban then Biden went on he said

20:24 we're making contingency plans if necessary oh really have those gone so far your contingency plans I believe him I believe him here's Joe Biden lying to you in addition I've asked the Pentagon and the state department for contingency plans to adjust the timetable should that become necessary I'm determined to ensure that we complete our mission this mission I'm also mindful of the increasing risks that I've been I've been uh briefed on and the need to factor those re those risks in they're real and significant challenges that we also have to take into consideration okay then Joe Biden was going to ask questions about the prize until Joe Biden now treats the press the same way he treats the Taliban he runs away from them this is the very end of his press conference he makes a five-minute statement something like five hours late and then he just runs from the room and this is Biden's back better you can

21:23 see his body you can see his back better as he walks away from the podium not answering any questions thank you catch you later bye how many images of the president running away from the Press are we gonna need to see before people start to realize that this guy's a joke I mean like fully a joke there's always talk about Donald Trump's bad relations with the Press you think Donald Trump would have been able to get away with it with the Press If This Disaster had occurred on his watch and then he had run away from the Press every single day like made a statement and then run headlong from the Press the problem for Republicans is Trump wanted to speak to the Press too much Joe Biden can't help running away from the press his handlers do not want him out front he is disquieting he makes the world worse every time he opens his mouth on matters like this and that is perfectly obvious to everyone and he is also lying okay the

22:14 notion that we're getting everybody out by August 31st is a Lie the the White House is already moving the bar the White House is already admitting that none of the there's no question that we are going to be leaving Afghan allies who we promised help Joe Biden to the last month we're gonna get them out we're gonna leave them on the ground and many of them are going to die there's no question that's happening but there's open question right now whether we even get all the Americans out in fact pretty much everybody agrees there is no opportunity for us to do so so for example we are now in the we are now in the bizarre position in which Adam Schiff is telling us more truth than the White House which is weird because atom shift is terrible Adam shift to congressman from California yesterday he said it's very unlikely we can evacuate Everybody by the end of the month he said this after going to a classified briefing

22:58 I think it's possible but I think it's uh very unlikely um given the number of Americans who still need to be evacuated the number of sivs the number of others uh who are members of the the Afghan press Civil Society leaders women leaders it's hard for me to imagine all of that can be accomplished between now and the end of the month okay so that's Adam Chef hey would you like more Democrats saying the same thing here's representative Tom malinowski saying this deadline is a mistake the conditions have changed for the worst in the last 24 hours uh the Taliban because of the mistake I think that we made of setting this artificial self-imposed deadline they've now seized upon it as you as you said and started blocking Afghans at risk from going to the airport hey representative Andy Kim another Democrat he says yeah there's no way we're going to finish this on time this effort is one that has certainly

23:57 led me to believe that that the mission is not something that we can accomplish by the end of this month and I strongly urgently urge the president to reconsider uh his uh continued uh aim towards August 31st to be able to get uh our mission done we will not be able to get our mission done by that time based off of what I've seen and based off of what we've experienced so far these are all Democrats here's Obama's Department of Homeland Security secretary Jay Johnson saying yeah the airport's going to get a lot worse before it gets better I believe that the situation at the airport is going to get a lot worse before it gets better this is a country of 38 million people we've got to deal with the app the American citizens those who qualify for special uh immigrant visas but then those who will also qualify for Refugee status under our laws and that population could snowball how bad is the situation over there

24:53 right now pretty damn bad Richard Engel from NBC News tweeted out the state department is in such utter complete masterful control of the situation that yesterday they issued a last alert for U.S citizens to leave Afghanistan or said they were on their own and then 30 minutes later said oh yeah oops no no we're still here oops I'm sure Americans are stuck in Afghanistan feel yeah very I would say sanguine about their prospects right now probably everything is fine meanwhile the New York Times reporting that there are people who are showing up to the airport and then being turned away despite the fact that they have papers I mean there's there's a story from the New York Times that a former CIA officer had helped bring something like 500 translators to the airport and um they were and they were immediately rejected on Sunday there was a mad Zeller the former CIA officer who you've heard talk on CNN

25:48 he said that veterans in contacts in Afghanistan organized an operation to bring to the airport some 500 SIV the holders who are these this is a special Visa holders who are considered at high risk of Taliban reprisals they were able to get the Afghans inside the airport then they were turned back at what he described as a state department checkpoint on Monday evening according to Zeller Taliban soldiers approached the Afghans outside the airport gate and separated them according to their paperwork telling Visa holders they would not be allowed to enter during that opportunity to get their college safely out of Afghanistan were tightening the veterans worked on evacuation from afar describing feelings of helplessness I feel a moral obligation to get these people out to Tripp Adams and army veteran who's been working on the effort when you're halfway across the world and you can't do anything when hardened

26:33 Warriors are calling me and they're cracking this is going to destroy a generation of veterans in Kabul Afghans who worked for the US government and secured special immigrant visas said they had received emails from the state department asking them to come to the airport and then they get there and then they're turned back it's a complete another cluster f it's a disaster area meanwhile of course the Kinder and gentler Taliban are beating women's death for not cooking according to hot air in the space of a single week reliable news coverage from any part of Afghanistan other than Kabul has been become increasingly hard to come by as the Taliban solidifies their control of the nation says Jazz jaw of hot air there are still some media Outlets with boots on the ground out in the more remote provinces one story was picked up by CNN earlier this week telling a tale that took place earlier in the month

27:18 before the Taliban captured the capital the incident was reported in Faria Province well to the north it was one of the earlier Province provinces the Taliban retook a woman pseudonymously identified as najia and her daughter Manisha had been visited for three nights in a row by groups of more than a dozen Taliban fighters they demanded now she had cooked dinner for them quickly running out of food for her own family she protested she was too poor to continue to host them so they beat her to death 25 knew they were coming her mother had told her they'd done the same thing the previous three days demanding should cook food for up to 15 Fighters my mother told them I'm poor how can I cook for you said Indonesia the Taliban started beating her my mother collapsed they hit her with her guns AK-47s manisa said she yelled at the fighters to stop they paused for a moment before they threw a grenade into the next room

28:01 and fleeing is the flame spread the mother of four died from the beating nishia's Village was overrun by the Taliban so quickly some women reported not having time to go shop for a burqa some of them reported being severely beaten in the streets for them not being properly attired good thing the United States sent gender advisors to the country that that that that definitely worked also Taliban spokespeople who say that women have rights in Afghanistan they do they've just in compliance with Sharia law but they have rights a Taliban spokesperson is now urging women to stay home because the fighters you know well we want to be tolerant the fighters have not been trained to respect women the spokesperson called it a temporary policy intended to protect women until the Taliban could ensure their safety he said we're worried our forces were new and have not yet been trained very well may mistreat women we don't want

28:50 our forces God forbid to harm or harass women yeah if there's one thing the Taliban is for it's it's for protecting women protecting the status of women it is no wonder that there is video now emerging from Afghanistan of Afghan men who have worked with the US military yelling at Joe Biden this is not a shock nor is it unjustified here is one such video Mr Biden you did this you planned this you made the deal with the talibans this is the consequences of it this is the repercussions of it Mr burden is your ill calculation you are against Trump now we are against you go to Hell by then unbelievable unbelievable okay well the good news is it's all everything's going great so the goal here and this has been a typical habit of the Biden Administration is you say that you set the goal post really really close so then if you overcome the goal post you say that you've done an amazing job so you remember that the bite

29:45 Administration did this for example with the coveted vaccine rollout they said if we get to a million shots a day we are so good at our job by the time they took office we're already doing a million shots a day and then they were like oh man look how good we are at this we're doing a million shots a day so they do this sort of stuff routinely or they set the bar really really low like so low that Michael Moore could jump it easily right it's like the lowest bar in the entire world all the forces of gravity could not prevent them from overcoming this tiny tiny little bar right well that is what they are now doing with Afghanistan so they completely gave up a country of 38 million people 19 million of whom are women who will be forced into uh who will be routinely raped for the rest of their lives many large loss of this not only that they're leaving thousands of Americans right now without a way to get out in Kabul

30:32 but there are flights leaving Kabul Airport so that means that everything is going great in fact says jensaki this is the this is a massive success what you're watching on the ground as Afghans plummet from three thousand feet down onto the tarmac and explode as you watch The Americans in in Kabul attempting to get out being beaten by the Taliban as you watch American soldiers breaking down because they can't help their friends who served with them in the Afghan Army this is all a massive success it's a massive success some might suggest this is a big lie some might say that here's here's jensaki I would say that this is now on track Peter to be the largest airlift in U.S history uh so and that is uh bringing American citizens out it is bringing our Afghan Partners out it is bringing allies out so no I would not say that is anything but a success it's nothing but a success nothing but a

31:30 success it's an unbelievable success see we had this boat and the boat was okay it was on the wall one of the greatest boat was on the water and we took some dynamite and we put it below the water line and then we just exploded it and now there's water gushing in here but let me tell you we have lifeboats and many of those lifeboats will be filled with passengers not all the passengers Will Get Out Alive some of them will drown some of them will end up at the bottom of the sea don't say this is a disaster this is a massive success it's a massive success never before I mean this is a big boat it was a big boat and that means that we're gonna have a lot of lifeboats filled with people in fact this is the greatest Lifeboat Rescue of our lifetime it is the greatest success in using lifeboats we have ever seen sure it was us that we put the dynamite below the water line and sure we did like the fuse

32:16 and sure we did explode it and let the water start pouring in like Poseidon Adventure but the real thing you need to focus on is that never before we're sending like a Guinness Book of World Records for how many people we are evacuating from a place we just trashed I mean look at us we are so good at this says jensaki you know how stupid she thinks you are you yes you and all Americans you know how dumb she thinks you are none of this had to happen zero of it zero of it this is all Joe Biden's disaster from top to bottom and here she is telling you it's a master of success and how dare you think anything else so jensaki was then asked at this press conference you know we're all getting emails from people saying we're trying to evacuate people like I like on this show like the host of the show I have gotten emails multiple from people many many from people who have served with Afghans on the ground

33:08 in Afghanistan and want to get them out and they're asking me how do I get people I forward them on to some people who are trying to facilitate and I like again I'm like three steps removed from the people who served on the ground in Afghanistan I didn't serve in the in the Army I'm not an officer in the Army I don't work for the state department I don't work for the government I'm getting emails and I'm forwarding them on to people who once served in the military or no people who served in the military and those people in the military are then trying to get that to the state department they're trying to work with ngos it's a disaster area okay well genesaki was asked about this her answer is uh shall we say less than satisfying this is a 24 7 operation embassies all over the world are supporting phone banking text Banking and email efforts if we are not in touch with this individual give me their contact

33:55 information and we will get in touch with them if any of you are hearing from American citizens who can't reach us give me their contact information and we will get in contact with them okay how your DM's open there Jen how exactly do you think that it's going to happen okay then she like it is so obvious what the agenda of the Bible is it is not to facilitate success it is to cover their ass that's what this is about and covering their ass means covering for the Taliban and pretending that we have a solid deal with the Taliban on the ground and that everything's gonna be hunky-dory by August 31st so start getting the troops out now well again their own description is 10 to 15 000 Americans were on the ground in Kabul their own description yesterday is that about 4 000 Americans are out that leaves behind somewhere between if my math is correct six thousand and eleven thousand Americans they still need to

34:43 get out and that's just in Kabul alone that does not include any of the outlying areas and there are many Americans out there because remember the Taliban took over the country inside of like a week hey like this is this is madness and it gets worse I mean gen sake it the left is um slobbering over jensaki and her incredible performance I don't know what they're watching we'll get to more of this in just one second first let us talk about a simple fact if you are a responsible adult you need life insurance it is indeed that simple if you're walking down the street and suddenly a brick falls from the heavens and just cracks you across the top of the head as you lie bleeding out you're going to think to yourself you know what would have been a good idea having life insurance for my family or you could at least feel better about that because you'll have life insurance by going to policy genius policy genius makes it

38:20 shut in it's excellent It's really really good it's a tense Thriller the film is centered around a young single mother who's barricaded inside a pantry by her violent ex-boyfriend using nothing but her voice to guide her two small children to escape escalating danger it's intense it's suspenseful and it has the values you're looking for the trailer for shut-in will be out soon we know our members are gonna love this film we need your support by the way because when we entered the industry we were sending Hollywood a message you no longer have a monopoly on the film industry the release of shut-in is the next step improving it we need your support which is why you should go subscribe and help us out you're listening to the largest fastest growing conservative podcast and Radio Show in the nation so again the the goal of the Biden Administration is to just obscure what is happening in Afghanistan long enough

39:02 for us to leave and then they hope that you forget about everything that just happened we've had some tens of thousands of Afghans have been evacuated we still have thousands of Americans on the ground in Kabul which raises the question why aren't those Americans the first ones out I I want the Afghan town too and we made promises to those people those people spent 20 years fighting Wars In Cahoots with the United States they put their lives on the line for American interests because yes we have interest in Afghanistan against terrorism which we're now going to pretend we don't have for the sake of a dumb talking point but if you're going to evacuate people and you're the American government the first people you should be evacuating are American citizens so where are they why can't we get them out why weren't they the first people out the reason the Pentagon has been spending days obscuring how many people were Americans

39:43 on those flights is because the number is really low again a week ago we had 2 200 Americans out today we have 4 000 Americans out we've been flying 10 000 American 10 000 people out a day 20 000 people out a day why aren't more Americans out what are the obstacles why isn't this Administration being honest with us well Jen's hockey has one goal and one goal only and that is to prevent people from using the word stranded so once again gen Saki and Peter Ducey went over it when again whether Americans are in fact stranded in Kabul what do you say to the American citizen in Kabul that uh Fox spoke to this morning her name is she's going by uh Fatima she says we are stranded at home for four days three days we didn't hear anything from anywhere and they're saying to go to the airport but we're not being given clear guidance our emails are getting ignored say no Americans are stranded this is someone

40:29 in Kabul who says I am stranded so is there a better word for somebody who can't leave the house to get to the airport because Jake Sullivan says Isis is outside the airport I would welcome you providing their phone number and we will reach out to them today oh we'll reach out to them and if you give her their phone number then they'll reach out you know that's and that's the important thing right they're not stranded because jensaki told Peter Ducey who is not a spokesperson or a lawyer for this woman or this woman herself that she is on call well great Jen I'm sure that person finds that super comforting and very very very helpful by the way jinsaki also said that as everybody knows when we say we have to be out by August 31st that means civilian evacuations have to end before August 31st because again we have to get the military out too so here is Jen's hockey admitting as much does that mean that the evacuations will

41:20 stop before the ACT 31st so then there is time to get the troops and their machinery and weaponry out of there that would be correct yes that there would need to be time to wind down the presence I will note though that the purpose of this statement is to provide additional context of what the president conveyed to the G7 which includes a number of very key components as he assesses day by day oh well you know he's assessing it day by day and if we know one thing it is that it's Joe Biden is definitely on top of the news which is why he has failed to actually be in concert with the news for weeks on end and was lying to the American public or was ignorant of what was actually going on so if he's on top of it Joe Biden is on top of it the same way that your grandmother in a nursing home is on top of the news sure okay all right by the way jensaki also admits there could be Americans left in

42:13 Afghanistan after August 31st this is saying the quiet part out loud right here if one U.S citizen was suddenly discovered you know saying hey I really want to get out and I'm stuck who knows where somewhere in Afghanistan or in Kabul he's got any problem would this trigger a diplomatic military or hands on deck type thing to get that person out whatever the date our commitment continues to be to U.S citizens if they want to leave we will help get them out again we expect there could be some uh but I don't I'm not going to get into it further go ahead she's not going to get into it further there could be Americans who are left in Afghanistan we expect there will be Americans left in Afghanistan after August 31st but then we'll be working back channels to try and get them out you know none of this had to happen none of it how delusional is all of this how much do you trust this Administration I

43:02 mean I don't trust this Administration further than I can throw it which is not very far the Taliban have said we are not allowing people to get to the airport right the Taliban spokesperson in fact came out and said we are not going to allow Afghans any longer to exit the country they said quote change your policy please don't encourage our friends to leave don't encourage our Engineers our doctors our military we need them we are not in favor of allowing Afghans to leave so the Taliban is closing the doors on Afghans trying to get out because they are either going to conscript them into the Taliban or they're going to murder them but the good news is jensaki says well you know we are so we expect the Taliban to let them leave here's jensaki we've seen over the past several of the past nine days A Rush of people attempt to come to the airport we certainly understand that but that also creates

43:46 security risk and one that we have great concern about so to be clear individuals who are eligible for special immigrant visas or others who we are helping facilitate their evacuation in their departure we are in touch with them or working to be in touch with them about how and when to come to the airport as well as American citizens as you well know and we expect that they will be able to reach the airport oh we expected they'll be well and it's not like the taliban's in control of security lady which we all know so Politico even politicos like this is gaslighting political is an entire piece today titled the definition of gaslighting as chaos unfolds at Kabul Airport Biden team projects calm I don't think the president's rhetoric matches the conditions on the ground when former State Department officials said tens of thousands of Afghans awaiting U.S visas and thousands of American citizens are still stuck in

44:31 Kabul unable to find safe Passage through frantic crowds Taliban checkpoints and Afghan guards stationed outside the airport gunfire erupted outside of the north gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport on Monday killing a number of Afghan Security Forces American officials have repeatedly had to close the gates for extended periods leaving Gars to turn away even U.S passport holders multiple sources point to deteriorating conditions inside the airport including lack of power and sanitation tension has emerged between American troops on the ground and State Department officials trying to extract U.S citizens and Afghan allies meanwhile The West Wing is looking increasingly disconnected from reality as the Biden White House strives to project a sense of calm competence even as the Taliban tightens their grip on Afghanistan if you look at what we're doing now and taking evacuating thousands of people

45:13 every day it has been a tremendous piece of work said defense secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday while the evacuation has significantly ramped up in recent days says Politico the reality on the ground belies The Narrative the situation is under control the scenes around Kabul Airport have been marked by violence disorganization bureaucratic and fighting and delays according to video and text exchanges viewed by Politico the result is an Administration that appears increasingly out of touch as reports from Kabul continue to reflect a chaotic evacuation I don't think the president's rhetoric matches the conditions on the ground says Jenna Ben Yehuda a 12-year veteran of the Bush and Obama state department and president of the Truman Center which is trying to evacuate Afghan allies they keep saying this was inevitable there was absolutely a way to avoid this if that's not the definition of gaslighting I don't know what is said

45:54 Chris Purdy project manager of Veterans for American ideals at Human Rights first in order to speed the evacuation effort defense officials in recent days proposed retaking Bagram Air Base using Bagram as an additional location for flights out of the country would help ease the backlog at Kabul but the proposal was nixed because the White House and some Pentagon officials worried it would require deploying a large number of additional forces and could spark a conflict with the Taliban it was discussed but was not a good option said one senior defense official Bob Graham would have been an Airborne assault just a huge operation would have looked like a re-invasion you can't look like a reinvasion guys I mean we're busy surrendering here I don't know what you guys are doing but we're surrendering around here and if if our surrender gets in the way of Americans leaving successfully well you know surrender was

46:36 really important because Joe Biden wanted to go to sleep at night knowing he had surrendered in Afghanistan and he goes to sleep at like 6 30 at night so we had to get out of there right quick the Pentagon has acknowledged conducting only limited rescue operations within the city to bring Americans into the airport but officials are running up against that August 31st deadline and I don't think I've seen it characterized better than Richard Engel of NBC News did last night on NBC news here he was this war used to be called operation uh enduring freedom and it's turned out not to be enduring and they're not leaving behind a society that is free it is only free according to what the Taliban says it will be free and if the Taliban promises that it will be free so uh you could also look at this as a tremendously humiliating moment of American humiliation leaving forced to leave on the taliban's clock

47:30 and and with the talibans good graces that is correct and that is Joe Biden's decision there is no one else to blame for this except the old man who says the buck stops with him so the American people have said the buck stops with him now the question is going to be where we go from here how many Americans get left behind how many Afghans get left behind and will the American people continue to pressure the Biden Administration to do the right thing and get people out or are they just going to forget about it the way that Joe Biden seems to think you will maybe he's just projecting his own short-term memory loss onto the American people alrighty we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of contents in the meantime go check out the Michael moles show that is available right now I'm Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show foreign if you enjoyed this episode don't forget to subscribe and if you want to help
