On August 4th two thousand and sixteen on August 4th two thousand and sixteen ISIS took her vehicle and held her captive. We had all faith in the government, the government, let us down if Donald Trump had been president when Kayla was captured. She would be here today. We support Donald Trump because of his commitment to keep and make America great, not with the power of government, but with the passionate people like Kayla Americans who dont just talk. They act Ainsley the parents of Kayla Mueller, the humanitarian worker who was kidnapped at age, twenty four by ISIS, kidnappers speaking out on the final night of the Rnc, Carla and Marcia Muriel join us now good morning to you good morning good morning, thanks for having us. Thank you so much for being here with us. We wanted to tell your story. Why was it important for you to stand on that stage last night and support Donald Trump?
Well, we have been given this extraordinary opportunity toe do what we think is right for this country, thanks to Kayla, we just didnt want to ignore it. What an opportunity ELM people dont, get these opportunities. Like this Marcia, your husband last night said that if President Trump were president at the time that she was taken, Kayla would be with you today be with you today. Why do you think that? Because he is a man of action, his whole administration has shown us that they have been great to us. We can reach out to them. They know we are working with people outside of the government and they encourage us to keep searching for Kayla. They just thats about all. I could say Mr Obrien Ambassador Obrien, a dot g Barr fusion cell, my goodness
every one of them have just been extraordinary for us when we were just in d dot c we had a meeting with Mr Obrien and something thats not in the news. Much is the fact that the Trump Administration has brought home fifty hostages, fifty Ainsley wow fifty lives that were possibly saved. Thats incredible. I want to hear more about your daughter Marcia. She seemed like an amazing person at twenty four. She is helping overseas people in need. Doctors without borders tell us what her personality was like. Well, she just had a passion for people and helping People- whoever came God placed in front of her. She just took on this mission to help them wherever they were. That was her gift from a young age. She was always doing that and what was extra special about
Kayla is she made? You feel comfortable, no matter who you were and, and one of the things we were told by some people overseas- is that when they would just say her name, even if Kayla wasnt there, if they mentioned Kaylas name, the people would smile because they knew when she came to say she was going to help them she followed through she just didnt talk. She did what she could to help and the other thing about Kayla. Is she didnt just help them? She helped them find a way to help themselves, so that was so special about her. She just loved people. She just had a passion for people Ainsley. I know she was your miracle child. You said last night you werent supposed to have any more children, and God gave you Kayla Karl. I know that had to be hard. Last night, talking about that, knowing what your daughter went through every single day at the hands of Al Baghdadi,
we are working outside the government and the government is supporting us right now. We were well on track to finding a lot of new leads, but then Covid happened and set us back quite a bit, but we continue to search the Trump administration continues to back us. We continue to have meetings, good grief almost daily, so we feel we are on track to eventually find her. We know its a needle in a haystack but were getting the support Ainsley. I would add to that Ainsley we are about to get cut off Ainsley. We are not going to get off, go ahead. Marcia! I just want to say our hope is that people see us people that maybe knew something about Kayla in this world and their hearts will soften and they will help us bring her home Ainsley. Well, she was taken at twenty four and she would have been thirty two years old, her birthday just passed.
Thank you! So much God bless you. We will keep in touch if we can.
