Sean Hannity weighs in on the crisis in Afghanistan during his Friday monologue
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.
