I saw your show last night, I thought you were gonna, have a brain hemorrhage I did in the Middle EAST. I'm surprised you could talk. If you can detect, I am still a little raspy. Yes, I lost it and I basically blew a gasket for twenty straight minutes. Has thing, lest I drove me, I didn't say I know we try to avoid the word now, but I, it applies he's just evil he's cast
evil incarnate, he sat a good guy he's not I mean I I wasn't at last night. He does not care, he doesn't he and care, not at all about. What's gonna happen to these people about the interpreter that actually helped him specifically in June, I was an eight who is still stuck in the country. He does not care doesn't care. I dont think any of these people Quite honestly, I really don't, don't think any of many of the people who are in Washington and especially those who are the ones who are claiming alders woke crap. They don't they don't have any empathy they do. Have empathy, and I dont think President Biden has it, and you know I don't know if I'm gonna go down the evil road with you, but only jointly there's plenty of restoring behind here right now it. The an hour I hear is ears cut one from Joe Biden
last night in Kabul, funerals, It ended twenty years of war in Afghanistan The longest war in American History- ok, it's not going to ninety one of the biggest airlift in history. More than one hundred and twenty thousand people evacuated to say I want to see my j. It is. That number is more than double what most first seller possible law, yeah yeah twice! This gloated has ever done anything like it in all. History do you have anything to do with a capacity will lead you to do it. We did it today. Extra Our success of this mission, extraordinary the incredible scale is gravely raised. Was Kurds United States military it out of her ass, an intelligence professionalism excess arguments is, is the most its import apparent thing. I've ever heard of my life is like it sing like hey, we, playing with matches and gasoline in the house and then
big, successfully evacuated out of the third storey window by jumping to safety like wow. What a congratulations, I guess is what I would say that imagine Ronald Reagan, making this speech. Today, we all watched as space shuttle challenger reached its greatest moment here, is a great day for NASA. Now many people will focus on the explosion, but that teacher that went up She went higher than anyone else in this that's what we promised that she would be the first in space and we just gonna, keep on going because nothing when raw annual nation has ever picked up so many individual pieces of a space shuttle in such a short period of time. Don't idea you don't dare
Jim me about. The solid rocket, the solid fuel boosters here you say there might be something wrong with the o rings, Do you know how many fish we saved from falling space? Shuttle debris more than I have ever been say more than ever events in american history had it is what he's doing This is an extraordinary success, this failure look like to this guy I'd hate to see it. I where did hate, to see what let me let me in let me tell you something I aren't you. I wish and I may show this picture on tonight's broadcast. When you have seen the Concertina wire, the razor wire that was all, all over the gates of the airport and all around, the
Border fence when you see that and we ve seen pictures of people throwing their babies over that fence, right and marines catching them. What you haven't seen the pictures that I have seen. Of the baby's that fell into the wire and then find their way out and didn't make it. I've seen those photos you need to understand how bad this situation was. Ok, any time. He says this was a success. I want you to remember the image that you now have in your head. This was not excess by any stretch of the imagination and people need to be held accountable, because if this is allowed to stand and these people are allowed to just continue on with no ramifications.
You do not want to see what our military will turn into a I am telling you now we will become the darkest force ever ever to walk the earth with our technology. And our resources. Is our fighting machine. Soon can be run, robotic Lee We will make the Nazis look like rookies. If you are listening to me and you're in the military you We need to stand up to day. You need to demand accountability, Juno. Only one that is that is paid and had had to pay for accountability is the marine colonel that stood up
he's the only one that's been held accountable for anything. This must not continue. Listen by the way in our number two, because I'm gonna give you some real stats. Our I cut too the Taliban, is made public commitments. No more. I cast on television radio across Afghanistan say so safe passage for anyone wanting to leave open, polluting those right worked alongside America. Stop. If they made me announcements then ran radio, radio, dont running, forget radio yeah, The Taliban no talk, radio can be trusted, but the Taliban rested on radio not enough. They ve tweeted it. I know they still have access to their twitter accounts. I can't I don't. We did. It last night. I, getting a report from what's going on and I can give you any details.
But I will tell you this. The Bon cares less about people who were helping twenty years ago, and translating these still will kill them, but they are actively hunting for those people who translated for us in the last five years, And anyone who says they're gonna, learn through their checkbook dont, know there ass from their elbow they have no idea what's going on or they are lying, so miss your president, which one is it. Do you not really know what's going on? If so, the twenty fifth amendment should be invoked.
If you do know what's going on, then you should be impeached for lying to the american people on such a grand scale. It is staggering finish the cliff next clip Let me be clear, leaving August at thirty. First, all this one is not due to an arbitrary deadline. Oh it's not! It was designed to save american law, my it all to take off my oh, my Oh mom, what are you talking about? It wasn't at our altering deadline. It was based on the Taliban deadline that they told us where there's gonna be consequence. It gives Europe out by them better give zero red line. It was the Talibans bet deadline was not our deadline, and I wonder if he used at it was designed to save american lives on the gold star families that just had thirteen. Of their family members slaughtered.
That so this was designed to save lives in. Addition didn't thirteen Marines and Navy personnel there's a hundred and seventy others that were killed ear. You're, not doing a very good job of saving lives. If that, if that's what they was about. They couldn't get any better than do, have a bite in retreat speech earlier evacuations available. Can we do that one because this one. I have that's crazy, Gasket Erica. I I I I am I may not be able to be. All I need is to be on the air to day, because I have so much to say and I will get people killed if I say information that I shouldn't
I also made just kill my entire business. If I say what I feel I was so cool, I want to talk about coming close to saying naughty words on television yeah. I crews, who I really have sown so many times, got half way down of a word in all documents. Syllable. Can I say that to you when you said that I almost said naughty words. You mean like this. If it, I almost set it in your listening to the best of the Glinda programme. It is an honour to have you on lieutenant, Colonel Scott Man. How are you, Sir, hey and how are you then? I have been a fan of yours, for since I was Captain God, man It is about real honoured, a thought the well. I feel the same way, but let's, let's talk about what you
Just recently done. Can you tell us about taskforce, pineapple yeah? was tat boy with a nickname that we got that that was the rescue of one afternoon commando. Where are we was in the rest, he was retired, indirect and was trying to make his way out, but he couldn't go ahead. Green rise? We got on the phone with him, we became his eyes and ears and we another ABC reporter James Meat and a congressional spam. With wonder little and get it all remote. Similar oughta give that we want in the country. We actually used our trust, our relationships, which is kind of it. In breakaway working by within through indigenous people, and then we just because his eyes ears and we hope to navigate and move through the city we got in through the wire and onto an airplane with his family, and we did that with about seven good families or seven hundred Afghans in three days unbelievable apps
lately, unbelievable that there's a couple but you weren't, you combat veterans. What would I was so proud for these were too Maybe see all these green Brave Marie Is that when everybody else got angry, they got to work. You know they take. It said you know what we're not gonna leave any body behind we're going to honour the promised to do the same ways in the Afghans who stood up for us and we don't. We people behind, and that is what we did and these would volunteer feature business owners, visa employees they they called six on Amazon, the one God led the underground rail road through a sewage canal that coordinated. Is it is. It is an elementary school teacher in Spain, by Harriet Tubman, who retired from s that I mean it's just in our veterans, showed us what leadership look like. So are you still island it? I'm not gonna, even ask you that have not yet question when,
You hear the president's say that there is only a couple hundred people left. Do you have a comment on that? There are still a lot of work. To be done as you know, we don't want to work at cross purposes with it did with the binding administration or any administration. We intend to honour a promise and fill the gap that the governments, not billing, are what we're doing right now is we are pivoting into you know the airfield was what we think of his rescue. We are now a citizen liaison network is moving to recovery. We have already been working to move afghan in this? situation and we have we moved them the safety and we ve moved them the freedom, whether that play a federal judge, prosecutor or a group of christian children. That's what we're doing high risk. I profile, Afghans we're not leaving any body behind operation recovery, organ we moving people and we're we're, keep moving momentum and we're hoping that divided.
Immigration will work even closer with us. The way you know theme works with teamwork, These are, as they do to you but if you have for twenty years, we know what we're doing and whereby, and we can help as you have, we have been involved in any of these things with you, the Nazareth Fund and, if not, please I know that we are there to help you anyway, we can we'd be honoured. Our group that I appreciate that gland saying here, I think any of you know this is a time for I believe that I'm so encourage that Americans, your guard was about. The conciliation take those negative feelings. And put him under with all its the man. I get that I've seen American getting behind our lives and art. You know it. You know better man that have been broken, crap and and their showing us. How we come together and how we lead with resolve, and so we write your shoulder. I would love to do that and when
out of the farmers know anybody who fired by honouring the problem is that these heroic afghan you know, let's do it together, operation, recovery, dot, Org and the other. Let's get him home, yes, operation, recovery, dot, Org, slash, donate Go there now this is, an incredible incredible mission, let me ask you: is it I suppose, because you're doing something about it it's not as hard, but I I worry that any one's going to work with any american anymore around the world, because we just left so many high and dry. Are you getting with you felt any pushed back from these people that were asking hey. Can you give us some intelligence on this? Can you help us with what we have because we use this concept, called the shepherd concept so that the volunteers, the green, belies the sea the rangers that are doing this, we are pre existing relationships that go twenty
The and what we're trying to communicate to the government is that you know what you say then whisper. Nothing! You don't understand! You have twenty years of relationships of tat. Double linkages, with some of the most maybe humans on the planet. We didn't have that pre nine eleven and that's why we got hit and right now we do have that. But if we are not careful for the rest of the world is watching us and when we were green, raise go into other countries to work by within through it most people they're gonna say you know what I think money, but I'm not working with you're, not speak in my neck out, because you don't get a mole again when it comes to working with us, human Y gotta honour, the promise and that's what I worry about in a very open about that. I say that to the Trump administration. I say that you do you know too, that should abide administration. Did you want green berries and operators like us to do our job? You have to honour promises, you make in the back yard and upon it. Tell me what you feel about or what
how do we repair our? relationships, for instance, with England, You know, I know that things between, commanders of the eighty second and the essay ass. I know it got ugly at the airport and- and I also know what people in England in power have told me they don't want to work with us anymore, because we abandon them how difficult. Is it going to beat a repair this? Well, it's gonna take deliberate. Restoration. You know whether it's a marriage whether it you know a friendship or whether it you know an ally if you damage our relationship. It's up to you to a town and restore that relationship. I teach that not part of it. You know when I teach the dream director to Green raises a restoration of relation Europe is one of the hardest things you ever do restoring trust. That's gonna have to happen, but
will tell you that I am encouraged by is that when we I didn't Have you what the BBC about Operation pineapple when it was under way? And I Tell you how many Afghans were pulled out of the sewage canal without, Were wholly time, apples on their cell phones, those british troops there and you know their warriors just one, yeah state. They know what authorities we had and we didn't have. It was a very tense situation. We stood at each other shoulders for censure then I have a feeling that will do that. I just wish our political leaders would stop targeting each other and look at your combat veterans. Look at how their conducting themselves right look at how their showing up and demonstrating what leadership looks like. Let's give them some leadership that worthy of their sacrifice and just follow their leader and that all put politicians to do right now I have to tell you- and I think this is it. I think this is important for Americans to understand. We
We have to have a military that is led by civilians. That's really really important, but something very difficult, especially when the civilian people at the top are making the wrong decisions, but I want you die you to put yourself into the shoes of somebody that was at that gate as a marine. They knew what the right thing was to do, but they followed the orders, and these were legal orders. I mean it's one thing you don't have to follow him when they're, not legal, these were legal orders that these guys to the core of their being. I know v Italy disagreed with, and yet they didn't break ranks. They didn't oh go around and do something unconstitutional that must have been strong ordinarily difficult for a lot of them.
We should be very, very proud of our military that they didn't do that, We should also understand that this is where politicians have to get back. You know we have had a nation at war, glad for twenty years, and it's been less than one percent of the population that keeps going back in fighting and what you just described when you, put young men and women in that position. That's a moral injury, the applicable rural injury and more injuries cut you down into the stomach they shut. You down into the pelvic floor, and they never leave you. I know because I carry plenty and and so what I would ask our politicians and bureaucrats to do. As you know, is if you're gonna manage the perimeter security about half WAD airfield and then send like a restart general in the process? Let him do their job, looking give them the authority to do a nun. Combatant evacuation operation is called a neo. We ve done
for years. You know how to do it and if you, if you start applying politics, world of solid hurrying and the world of fighting report the Young Marines and your young paratroopers into these injuries and they never get over it and we're losing twenty two it a day. Martin, not not, so we do that, but it's a big part of it, and politicians and bureaucrats both bear that responsibility and to our citizens free. You know if we're not gonna put a command commander in chief in place. Really get that we need to think about. That movie told the lovers in this isn't partisan signal. We but in her responsibility to take care of our forests, That includes not putting them and positions. Moral engine? That's our job. Let me I don't want you to get into politics, and I don't want you to want to cause you any problem so feel free, not answer this, but I think There must there must be people held accountable for this. Is this? Was then it wasn't it?
necessarily a military thing. I think it really falls to the State Department and the White House there, also where some top people at the very very top that made mistakes in the Pentagon should people be held responsible for this, and, if so, who I'm always in favour of accountability. No one of the things that I that I wrote my but Jane changes years ago about the afghan war was that you know for the first ten years of my life or in Afghanistan. You know was in a trance of just retribution, because my raise your body clip was killed in the Pentagon and I kind of abandoned the way that I should have been doing things as a green boy. I was focused on just walking, the enemy down, instead of work, it was working with locals I own damn. I still on that. I just I wish that our planet decisions are generally applied officers. Would you know lieutenant colonel that doubt that risk. You know that what reside in protest like where's, that I would just like to see more of them
on the military, nine by tall you're right on the table and say no like it? You do that you can have my right. I mean I am it In that light we had a senior level and I'd love to see it. I'd love to see. That happened, but then I do think there should be accountability on this. But you know, for me: right now in the combat letters that are in it we're focused on flying opposition in support of the government. As a citizen liaison network, whatever that looks like, but what we're not gonna do is break the promise. That's not gonna happen and we ve all committed to that and we're volunteers, and where do you know we're doing this because its white- and so I hope, is accountability we all do, but in the meantime, this a lot of work to be done. God. I I saw appreciate you and I'm gonna put on hold, and what am I producers will give you my my private email, end and text. Because
I mean what I say anything you need day or night you contact and we will be there for you appreciate that certain assigned goes. The saying goes with me. Thank you, Lieutenant colonel God, man, president rooftop leadership, retired green berets, commander and leader of Task Force Pineapple. I highly urge you to donate and support operation recovery, dot, org slap. This is the best of the Glenda programme. We are thrilled to have the former. U S ambassador to the United Nations Farmer, South Carolina governor and good friend, Nicky Hayley joining us now, she's, just written on Washington, Post opinion, peace, America,
I do not recognise the Taliban. Welcome thanks the plan of great to be with you again. Yes, great talk to you, so so me out here that the Taliban, according to the present in the White House, we got a lotta leverage on them. Oh, what it is and- and they ve promised to be good. Why why shouldn't we recognise the Taliban? because they are a g hot. As terrorist group I mean it. Is the time Havana is no different than ISIS or Al Qaeda they're, all bad. They all have a warped view of human rights if any at all, they are all sharing a moral victory and most Does he have you a court that will start to say no more for scenarios I I really dont get is binding. Companies need to remember. It was better, our ban that harboured those that that did the the harm to us on nine eleven that through this is- and it is that
then, who has helped her some have been long. They helped harbour Al Qaeda like all of this is not a good thing. To be trusted? It's why that group never needed to be trusted to secure the airport and the reason we lost thirteen of our finest. I mean they ve got to stop giving credibility to the Taliban and then, when what we are trying to do is tell everyone can go to stand America, dot com and sign the petition that were sending to all Congress, not recognize the Taliban, because a few recognised the Taliban as the head of Afghanistan, your basically send the money. We know what they'll do with the money we ve seen what they ve done with money before it's gonna go to killing people is gonna go to harbouring weapons, it's gonna be harbouring terrorists, and it's gonna go towards contain going to allow for threats on EU soil too. It would be a horrible mistaken why blankets and and those are continuing to talk to the Taliban, just is beyond me. Why we put on
if you know we have a better gas on how many Americans are still left there and how many people are trap that are trying to get out I can tell you that numbers in the thousands if you look at all of them, maybe even into the tens of thousands, but State department is blocking our every move. Are every move. You know, I think, You can see a lot in the fact that I was listening to blanket speech the other day in his junior. We have two hundred, maybe even a hundred. Ok, one is to man has when you're talking about rescuing Americans, your basically saying we have a hostage situation. The second thing is All these American couldn't even get sick of all their money. Further out in Afghanistan in those areas they can't get
they are and when they do go to check point their passports in their green cards are being taken away. So there not being realistic and honest with the american public. They know that there is more than just the two hundred. They say that they have, and I think that you know he was now on the news that the conversation between Biden and caused that gonna got out and basically what Biden sang to gonNA is this, what good you need effects that perception problem will you do instead of hide how and it really was that the Taliban was taking over. Why didn't binding tray? Ok, gotta change course we ve gotta do something different in this isn't going while, like that, with all the warning signs to say, we need to do something different, not telling got a smile and act like it's going better than it is, and I think that's what games doing enshrined at eight, oh say, There is less Americans there than they are worth. This is a terrible situation. I mean that we ve been put in a terrible thing.
Vision for a military who knows in their blood that there are never spoke believe in American behind Americans, all Nova, thank God. So many Americans are stepping to the plate and and being honourable, I mean it's, it's remarkable what's happening outside of Washington We ask you, I just I just had a green berets commander on with me, and I said you know: what do we, You're gonna be like to be a green bray in a foreign country when you are trying to get people. To help. You and our foreign relations going to be with the military I'd like to ask you kind of the same question. What What authority do we have anywhere in the world or in the? U n now? Well, first, I think that you know at the end of binding speech, was pretty much the beginning of his lame duck. President say because he has lost all the trust and confidence of arms.
Jerry men and women and their families lost the trust and confidence of our allies from Taiwan drew Ukraine to Israel. To India, you name it he's lost the traffic Evidence of the american people and away countries are looking at him. As you know, I never was there a time that I thought NATO would be having conversations without the U S, and that is happening now. You ve got the Europeans where the british and French went out of their way to get their citizens out, and the american government basically told them. Don't come to the airport Everyone is looking at America now real. Using their weaker Russia and China. Emboldened China is now trying to make moves on Barbara Metaphor space. They of refuge Alabama they're, trying to get the minerals so now realises Ukraine as more successfully Biden, Arnie already gave Nord stream to pipeline to allow them to do that and you're gonna anything more hacking, because Russia knows are not going to do anything about it or want is going.
Continue just start more nuclear production because there no longer worried about the threat you're saying: can the North Korea starting his production back the Bible in this one scenario showed that he's a very weak president and that the? U S is not going to do anything about it, and so it is put us in a terrible situation? If I deal with now, if I were in Taiwan today, I would be freaking out, because I I we are. I would think that you know China's gonna move on Taiwan in Munich, probably in the next two years got have online no office, we oh Taiwan's already breaking out and binds gonna meet with the latter. Gave ahead of Ukraine today, and I can assure you, the landscape. Gonna tell him, we don't feel comfortable. You know right now, they're trying to become a member of NATO, the! U S was gonna, then do that WAR Badal boy? Do you ask help them do that, just like you,
your great Nord stream. Through which automatically Dave Russia the upper hand, and now, oh by the way you couldn't protector, and a fair Maria had been twenty years, what makes you think that word, you're gonna be how to protect us very unsettling. Can power friends? Well, meanwhile, Mickey He always good to talk to you. It's never good to talk to you because we always find out the truth and its madmen good for a while. You know, I do want to say to you go and thank you for helping to get the Christian, that of Afghanistan. That was God's work and I'm telling you if ever there The threat it was on them and I know you had a big hand in that. I just thank you and God bless you boy. You very much MR appreciated we'll talk,
