This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Americans held hostage behind enemy lies day. Thirteen Americas held hostage. The timetable is coming fast, were now fast approaching Americas. Last weekend in Afghanistan, thirteen of our brave soldiers are dead. They will never return home to their families more than a dozen others seriously wounded. A total death toll is more than one hundred and seventy over two hundred people injured. This is as thousands of our own citizens, our friends, our american family and yes, american allies remain trapped all across the country, all of them behind enemy lines, all of them hostage to the whim of the Taliban and others. Its harder to get inside, Hamed Karzai Airport were told the Taliban could be in full control. Now, in a matter
of days, some predict as early as this weekend, the worse the death and destruction and carnage all easily preventible so easily Preventible Joe Biden is defiantly locked into his disastrous decision that has rendered us a failure here. Why hes tripled down on this failure is anyones, guess why hes abiding by the Taliban deadline also a mystery tonight. Why hes not sending in additional troops to rescue every single, solitary american behind enemy lines is unforgiveable? Why hes? So accepting of the idea that Americans will be left behind is beyond anything that any good American that I know of can comprehend. Sadly, tonight that outcome seems inevitable. This was not an intelligence community failure, Joe Biden ignored what are dozens and dozens of warnings on the ground and theyve been
given to him now for months, our sources confirming he ignored his own military advisers. That too has been on going for months. He ignored the Intel community. You can see the map with the time frame, the rapid advance from April June July and August and everywhere in between yesterday. What did we see? Mumbling rambling press conference showing the entire World Americas, friends and allies and yeah hostile regimes and our foes that the United States of America has a cognitively, weak, frail and completely out of touch president that is clinging to failed policies. This is beyond a national embarrassment. Innocent people will likely die as a result of all of this, more will dole. So congratulations Joe. This is your mission accomplished.
Thirteen american families will never be the same. Many more brave service men will struggle with serious injuries, the rest of their lives and more than one hundred innocent civilians have than one hundred innocent civilians have perished. This is a nightmare, a failure of epic proportions, the worst foreign policy disaster in our nations, history, with deadly real life consequences and risks that remain higher than ever. Remember. Just last week, Biden said any attack on our forces or disruption of our operations at Karzai. International airport will be met with swift and forceful response.
Now that swift and forceful response is nowhere to be found just like so many other Biden promises. Those words appear to be totally completely hollow, seemingly like what is in his head at most hours of the day is when the president says, we will hunt you down and make you pay. What does that look like? Is he going to ORD Area mission to kill the people responsible, or would he will satisfied if theyre captured and brought to trial? He made clear yesterday that he doesnt want them to live on the earth anymore, in other words, theres no plan of action other than a stern talking to even obamas defense secretary, even former CIA director he did both jobs. Leon Panetta rightly, is calling for a swift military response. I dont agree with him politically, but he know whats hes talking about here this morning. Joe Biden himself could note, be bothered to answer any other questions about Afghanistan,
especially after and in light of yesterdays disaster. Not even they told me to call on whoever being dictated by his staff. He doesnt want them to get mad at him. Obviously they call the shots. Take a look. I met with my commanders this morning. First thing in the morning got a detailed briefing about yesterdays attacks and the measures theyre taking to protect our forces and complete the mission, and we, MR complete the mission im not going to take any questions because of the Prime minister being here on Afghanistan, now ill be available at another time. Im not going to take questions. I might get yelled at again. What will happen to Americans? Clearly? Now its inevitable well leave them behind. How will they ever get out? What are we doing to protect them? What will happen to Karzai International Airport in Kabul
when we do pull out? What will Joe do if for Americans are murdered like yesterday? What will he do if the Taliban murders an afghan with one of our special immigrant visas, the one that we made a pledge that, if it ever came to this, we would get you the hell out of there? We didnt keep our word to them. Many will die Joe gave them a list of names, so they now have a database, Biometrics and Joes list theyre being hunted down as we speak, theyre executed one after the other. How do many Americans, we still dont get an answer, are still in Afghanistan? How many Americans have been evacuated? They dont know how will he prevent the rise of is ISIS of Al Quaida with no embassy, we were in war with them. The 9 11 commission report you all all the plotting and
planning and scheming that took place inside of Afghanistan and the lead up to 9 11, two thousand and one twenty years ago. What will happen to the eighty three dollars billion Joe Biden, the weapons that he left behind the most powerful weaponry of any military force on the face of the earth he gave to it terrorists its a little too late. Now we have images of Taliban flying our Blackhawk Attack, Hell, continuers or riding around in our armored vehicles, two hundred and eight helicopters and aircraft. He left behind how does Biden plan to vet? What is now tens of thousands of afghan refugees as we speak, theres shoe many refugees flying in to Washington, D, dot C, apparently, theyre doing the vetting after people are in the air flying to this country its causing a massive bottle neck at Dulles International Airport.
We need to know how these individuals are being vetted reports that already over one hundred people that have come to America from Afghanistan are also on. Our terrorist watch lists clearly theres a lot of important questions that need to be answered, Joe Biden, his incoherent mumbling and bumbling, and unwillness and unability to answer them is chilling yesterday during a bizarre one of his bizarre moments. At that press conference, Joe Biden was completely dazed and confused with an image that went viral. Take a look. Terrorists attacked that weve been talking about worried about that the intelligence community has assessed has undertaken. An attack by a group known as
ISIS K gave me a list here. The first person I was instructed to call on is Kelly. Odonnell of NBC, getting every single person out is cant, be guaranteed by anybody because of the determination all who wants to get out as well. Now wait a minute im asking you a question: is that accurate? The best of your knowledge question inaudible? Looking a it this way, folks, im going to, I have another meeting for real. I know its not fair, to ask you questions its rhetorical. Raise your hand if you think we should have gone this image of an american president thats. Why ive been saying somebody so weak and frail and a cognitive mess? America deserves better. We dont leave our fellow
citizens, our fellow Americans, behind we rescue our fellow miles per hours, trapped behind enemy lines. We respond to terror attacks with overwhelming force. We have the greatest military on the force of the earth. We strike fear into the hearts of all of our enemies and instill confidence in all of our allies under Biden. None of that has happened and clearly will happen made that clear yesterday, the one thing that was clear, no more military presence were getting out, sticking to the timetable and yeah there will be Americans left behind, in all likelihood now were suffering the consequences of his real weaknesses in real time. Mark my words with so many.
