President Biden blames the Afghan people for his failures.
He blames everyone, but in taking responsibility himself, he blames
the Afghan people saying they just didn't have the will to fight.
Also in today's episode, we talk about the propaganda machine that is beginning
to spin and turn to one cover Biden's, but, and two to reframe the Taliban
as a peace kind, peace loving people.
And actually this will turn out.
To be the good of Afghanistan, but it is all lies.
Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot and you're listening to the Lucas Skrobot show where
we uncover purpose, pursue truth and own the future episode 250 August 19th, 2021.
And I am fired up.
I am upset emotional.
Uh, it has been a lot.
Number of days for me here and frustrating.
It's frustrating.
And I feel ashamed to be an American.
I think this is probably.
Th the most I have ever felt.
There's been probably moments in time that I've I've thought
that, oh man, it's really shameful to be an American right now.
But this by far is it is a shameful disgraceful day for, for America,
specifically for the Biden administration, because they have brought this on.
They have brought this upon the Afghani people by his, by his, by
president Biden's failed decisions.
Poor decisions, failed strategy and not protecting our allies, not
protecting the people that we made a promise to stand by and protect.
And if this is the reputation of America, if this is the reputation
of America that well, you know what.
It's not in our best interests, quote unquote, even though it is, it actually
is in our best interests to have defended the people that we made commitments to
and, and, and held ground in Afghanistan.
But as we'll see, in today's episode, president Biden
decided to do just the opposite.
It would have been in our best interest, but now I fear that that America.
We'll have a reputation for many years that they will
actually not back their allies.
And, and I don't blame the world for not dressing in America anymore because
it goes, look at what we've done.
Look at what president Biden's policies have done in this failed failed operation
to, to withdraw from Afghanistan and in the process of that failed operation.
It, what happened?
Oh, the U S government decided to pull air support from the Afghany troops.
The us government decided to block contractors to go in and actually work on
the Afghani air force and the Afghani air.
W were the, the Afghani military that has been trained by the
U S military has been done.
So under the strategies of the U S military, which is combining air
support and, and land troops, so that the air support can do your
cognizance, bring equipment and supplies.
And so they work together, but all of a sudden over the last number of
months, Biden has pulled that out.
Biden has even blocked contractors from meat being able.
Work on the Afghan air force.
So how on earth?
How on earth is the army supposed to fight?
When, when they've been taken all, all the support that they have
been having and promised by the U S government just stripped from them.
Disgraceful it's disgraceful to see president Biden, blame everyone except
himself and say, oh, the buck stops here, but it's everyone else's fault.
It's everyone else's problem.
It's Trump it's Trump's deal, which by the way, the Taliban Trump's
deal had stipulations in it.
When Trump made a deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan and a peace treaty,
which as I said before, could have been.
President former president Donald Trump's greatest mistake.
But even in that, there were stipulations.
There were stipulations of saying, okay, well, in order for this
withdrawal to happen, there needs to be stipulations of both sides.
And as far as I can tell.
The Taliban were not meeting with those stipulations.
They weren't following through, but by, I didn't want it to rush it, but I
didn't want it to have the, the optics for whatever reason to just pull out.
And who is going to fill that void, that space in Afghanistan?
Well, yes, of course the Taliban had filled it, but also Russia and also.
Who are now best friends who have already made diplomatic relationships
in handshakes and, you know, spitting on the hand, shaking and opening up
the borders for rare earth mineral mining to have import export to China.
Who's going to fill that space.
Well, it is, it is bad.
It is bad news, and it is a shame shameful day to be an American.
Uh, here is, uh, you know, president Biden addressed the nation and in
his address to the nation, uh, which was about 20 minutes long, maybe
took no answers from the press.
He was on holiday the whole week.
He gets on a helicopter flies from camp David to the white house
strolls into the white house, reads a transcript says thank you.
Ma'am and lady and out the door, back on the helicopter, back to camp
David, as if this is as if nothing is happening and what was despicable.
It was what was the stickable about this?
Is that he blamed the very people that he betrayed.
He blamed the Afghan government and everyone else for his own failures.
And then, and then says, oh, well, but the buck stops here and actually
am proud of what we've done today.
Actually, this is a good thing.
A good thing.
For, for thousands of people who are now in hiding across Afghanistan, we're
going to get into some of those stories.
Uh, but first we're, we want to open up with some of these clips, uh, from
a president Biden, because really this is, this needs to be laid at his feet.
And normally I do not get a political of course, here on the show.
We're pulling.
We talk about this stuff, but normally I'm definitely not as forthright and,
and passionate, uh, or antagonistic against, uh, president Joe, Joe Biden.
But in this case, I, I am astounded at the, the, the
lies, the deception, the total.
Insincerity of this whole dog and pony show here is, uh,
opening clip of president Biden.
Our mission to Afghanistan was never supposed to have been nation building.
It was never supposed to be creating a unified centralized democracy.
Our only vital national interest in Afghanistan remains today.
What has always been preventing an a terrorist attack on America?
I've argued for many years that are missing, should be narrowly
focused on counter terrorism, not counterinsurgency or nation building.
So apparently president Joe Biden has been arguing for many years that this is not
about, we shouldn't be nation building.
Now, of course, when America went in in 2001, it was about taking out.
Both Al-Qaeda and nations or governments that felt that, you
know, it's okay to house terrorist organizations that are hell bent
on destroying other people's lives.
That was the mission of going into one take out Al-Qaeda and to, to take
out those people who were fostering and creating a place for that to grow.
And that was the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Then of course, mission creep grows.
And over the years after that was taken out, it moved to let's spread democracy
and let's spread it here in Afghanistan.
We're here.
Uh, we probably have a humanitarian obligation to help people.
And since we're here, we can enter this country.
We should probably leave it better than we left it.
But no, instead we left it worse.
Well, here's president Joe Biden back in 2000.
And three, seeing just this talking about nation building in Afghanistan, parts
of the administration nation building is still a dirty phrase, but the alternative
to nation building is chaos at chaos that churns out bloodthirsty, warlords,
drug, traffickers, and terrorists.
And we have, we've seen it happen in Afghanistan before.
And I am quite frankly fearful.
It may happen again, not withstanding your considerable.
Warlords drugs terrorists.
The connection is, is clear as a bell terrorists.
Well, someone should have played back this clip to president Biden a
couple of months ago because he has, this is exactly what he has done.
He has left the nation in chaos because of his carelessness
because of his carelessness.
Okay.
The lies go on in this, in this address, if you can even call it an
address to the nation here is, uh, Joe Biden talking about how well, you
know, we couldn't have stayed longer.
We needed to get out, uh, because of the fighting season in the spring.
When I came into office, I inherited a deal.
The president Trump negotiated with the town.
Under his agreement, U S forces would be out of Afghanistan by May 1st,
2021, just a little over three months after I took office us forces that are
already drawn down during the Trump administration from roughly 15,500
American forces to 2,500 troops.
And the Tali bond was at its strongest militarily since 2001, the choice
I had to make as your president was either to follow through on that
agreement or be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of
the spring fighting season, it would have been no ceasefire after may one.
There was no agreement protecting our forces.
There was no status quo of stability without American casualties.
After may one, there was only a cold reality.
Every either following through on the agreement to withdraw our forces or
escalating the conflict and sending thousands more American troops
back into combat in Afghanistan.
I don't know if you've noticed, but we are in August now.
We're in August.
It is the fighting quote unquote fighting season.
May one has long since passed.
We are entering into winter now.
It's well-known that in Afghanistan, in the mountains, it is very cold
and hard to fight in the winter.
And so you have fighting seasons fighting seasons, seasons people
fight in the spring and the summer and they don't in the winter.
Well, we're in the middle of August.
Now the Afghan government actually bagged and asked the U S government
and said, please do not withdraw in the middle of spring in the middle of
summer, but wait, at least until winter.
So we have a little bit of time to figure out life without you guys.
But instead here's Biden line saying that, well, we would have to send thousands and
sacrifice a whole nother generation's law.
Do you know how many Americans have died since February 8th, 2020,
over nearly a year and a half ago.
Now, zero in Afghanistan.
We've had American soldiers have not lost a single life since February 8th, 2020.
And before that for the last seven years, since 2014, we've been
American troops have been losing.
In the tens of lives per year.
So he's making it sound as if, oh, we were just in this brutal civil war.
Cause that's what it is.
It really is a civil war between the Afghan government
and the Taliban government.
And note that before we came in, there was, there was resistant
forces against the Taliban.
And in two days, two days before we're nine 11 on September 9th.
And we talked about this two episodes back, I believe, uh, the leader,
my suit of armor resistant forces was assassinated in Afghanistan.
And so there, there has been civil war there for decades.
And we had made allies with the Afghan government.
We made allies with, we fought alongside with it, Afghanis and interpreters
who risked their lives in our mission.
And then they asked, Hey, we have some, some narrow scopes.
Will you come and help us build.
Just as Joe Biden said, Hey, if we don't help build the nation, well,
it is all going to fall apart.
It's going to fall into even more chaos.
Fighting goes on, fighting goes on.
Afghanistan, political leaders gave up and fled the country.
The Afghan military collapsed sometime.
Trying to fight.
We gave them every chance to determine their own future.
We could not provide them, was the will to fight for that future.
The political leaders of Afghanistan were unable to come together for the
good of their people, unable to negotiate for the future of their country.
Unbelievable.
The chips were down, they would never have done.
So while U S troops remained in Afghanistan.
Bearing the brunt of the fighting for them.
Unbelievable.
Here, here is the president in the middle of the, one of the greatest failures
in us history, blaming the Afghan government and blaming Afghan troops
and saying, well, you know, they just didn't have the will to fight by golly.
They just, it just wasn't in them.
And we could have never given them the will to fight or maybe.
Just maybe it had to do with the fact that we pulled, we pulled our
military that as he said, it was 2,500.
By the time he took office and we pulled our air support, we close
down one of our largest air force spaces outside the United States.
We pulled air support.
We pulled, we pulled contracts.
Who were servicing their airplanes, how are they even
going to fix their airplanes?
They, I was reading that they had zoom calls with contractors
to help fix their airplanes.
They did not have the equipment that we had and they were
our allies and we abandoned.
And then he has the gall.
He has the gall to, to, to speak to the world in the midst of a failure and say
they just didn't have the will to fight.
Well, let's see.
What will did they have to fight over the last seven years when,
when American troops were losing maybe at most 52, I believe in the
last seven years, since 2014, the biggest last year that we had was 52.
And then the other years, it's tenure 20 lives.
And then we've not lost a single life.
America has not lost a single life since February 8th, 2020.
And he makes it sound, he said in this clip bearing the
brunt, we're fighting for them.
We're bearing the brunt of the fight.
He, no, we were support staff.
At this point.
We were support staff who bore the brunt of not only our fighting, but their fight.
The Afghanis themselves, the Afghany allies, the translators,
the troops on the ground.
They were Afghany lives since 2014.
Last seven years, 55,000 Afghani troops gave their lives
fighting for their nation.
And the president has the gall to say.
The golf to say that, yeah, they just, they didn't have the will to fight.
We gave them every chance that they could.
We, we did everything that we could to help and they
just, it just wasn't in them.
It's their fault.
Not mine, shame on you and shame on America.
Here's Biden that goes on too.
But to reassure the people, we're here to help really, we are, don't worry.
We're we're gone, but we're still here to help.
So now we're focused, focused on what is possible.
We will continue to support the Afghan people.
We will lead with our diplomacy, our international influence, and our
humanitarian aid will come tenure to know first, how can you continue to
help the Afghan people when you can't even, he can't even keep an airport.
And what diplomacy are you going to leave with after you totally
burned all of your bridges.
It's insane.
This clip goes on.
Sorry.
Brendan national influence on our humanitarian aid will continue to push
for regional diplomacy and engagement to prevent violence and instability.
We'll continue to speak out for the basic rights of Afghan
people of women and girls.
That you abandoned, you speak out all over the world.
I've been clear that human rights must be the center of our foreign policy.
Now human rights must be the center of our policy.
And yet this is a human rights debacle.
It's a total shame and a disgrace, a human rights crisis with over 300,000.
Afghanis displaced some, say 3 million Afghanis displaced
people hiding in their homes.
Young girls being sold, not sold being taken as, as, as Taliban brides.
If young girls, 12 year olds and up there, they're going door to door and
knocking saying, Hey, do you have.
Young girls in your house.
If you do, you need to put an X on your door.
And if we come and we find that you don't have an X on your door
and you do have young girls in your house, we're going to kill you all.
These are the, these are the reports that are coming from on the ground,
not the media that you're here,
but that's, and he, and he has the nerve to say, ah, but we need to
focus on humanity, humanitarian issues, not war, humanitarian issues.
You have created a humanitarian issue.
President Joe Biden, you have created this issue.
Single-handedly not the periphery, but the way to do it is not through
endless military deployments.
So with our diplomacy, our economic tools and rallying the world to join us.
Who, who in the world, who in their right mind?
Would want to join you America after this fiasco, after this debacle who,
and again, endless endless deployments, it was not endless appointments.
At this point in Afghanistan, we had America had 2,500.
Maintaining the ground and delivering air support.
And they could have still slowly scaled back and scaled down if they wanted to,
without pulling without, without pulling out the entire stability of the country.
But they chose not to do that.
He, president Biden went against his advisor, went against military
advice and said, Nope, this is the way that I'm going to do it.
This is my.
And this is, this is how we're going to get out of here.
We're we're just, we're done.
We're done with the quote unquote endless wars.
It's hilarious in this all, is that he's saying, well, you know, w we don't want
to, we, he said, we're going to come in to deal with the terrorism and we're going
to make sure it doesn't happen again.
And this is we've completed our mission.
Well, and now what you have, you done, you have totally.
Reversed everything that you have done, you've reversed the thousands,
tens of thousands of lives that have been given in the last 20 years.
You've just wiped it out.
Well, Biden is extremely proud of his accomplishments in the last week.
And here's biting, closing up his very presidential address to the world,
not just the nation, the world here's president Biden, boasting about how
he, how he made the right choice.
I made a commitment to the American people when I ran for president
that I'd bring America's military involvement in Afghanistan, too.
While it's been hard and messy and yes, far from perfect
president Biden had to send 5,000.
I believe now, 6,000 more troops into Afghanistan to PR to get the
2,500 troops out of Afghanistan.
I know it's been messy.
That's an understatement.
Yes.
Far from perfect.
I've honored.
Well, importantly, you honor that commitment on paper, but in reality,
you have destroyed everything that people fought for and worked for
Afghany and American lives for 20 years, destroyed it in a week.
I made a commitment to the brave men and women who serve this nation
that I wasn't going to ask them to continue to risk their lives.
In the military accident, it should have ended up long ago.
Our leaders did that in Vietnam.
When I got here as a young man, I will not do it in Afghanistan.
No, but you will repeat, you will repeat exactly what they did in Vietnam,
in Afghanistan, and also the men and women who gave their lives to soldiers
who are still right now, violently working overtime to, to get not only.
Tens of thousands of us citizens.
Some say there's up to 30,000 us citizens still in and around Kabul.
Some say five to 10,000, some have said 30,000, which shows
you just the lack of preparation.
The lack of planning, the lack of contingency.
If, if the us government doesn't even have a, a somewhat accurate number
of how much, how many us citizens they need to get out of Afghanistan.
My goodness, let alone the translators that they've left behind, who, who served
and risked their lives for the American people who moral obligations and promises
that we made to them just out the window.
So there are, there are troops, men and women who are doing
heroic and Valiant acts right now.
And I honor those men and women, and I respect those men and
women, and it is not their fault.
It is, it is the Biden administration's fault for.
Every death that will, that has happened and will continue to happen in the coming
weeks and months, as people are hiding, my religious minorities are hiding.
They're in hiding anyone who, who knows English or has, has worked in activism.
They're hiding because the Taliban are knocking door to door.
I get I'm reading report after report story after.
Of the Taliban knocking door to door and taking a census and figuring out who is
where, so maybe the, the revenge killings haven't started yet, but they will, but
they will president Bindin finishing off his, his boasting, his boasting.
Wow.
I know my decision will be criticized, but I would rather take all that criticize.
And pass this decision onto another president of the United
States yet another one, a fifth one, because it's the right one.
It's the right decision for our people, the right one for our brave
service members who have risked their lives, serving our nation
as the right one for America.
Actually, actually, no, it's not the right one for America.
And here's why.
You have just undone, as we've said, what you set out to do, which is making
sure that there are not groups who are fostering terrorist organizations, if
that was your expressed and stated goal.
Well, now that group is a hundred percent fully back in power.
That is not a successful operation.
Second, it's not good for the American people because
you've betrayed your allies.
You've betrayed your translators.
What is that?
To all the men and women who are serving and giving their lives, not
as you, as citizens to the American troops around the world, what sort of
message will that send to our allies?
China's already gotten the clear message, which is, oh, in Taiwan.
If we enter is going to run because America is not
going to keep their promise.
It is already sending the message.
So if anything, you're putting America, American citizens and
other citizens of other nations people at risk now only this.
Okay.
Sure.
Maybe, maybe you think this is best for America by guarantee you that for
the girls and the women and the men.
In Afghanistan for the religious minorities for this Hazara
tribe, which is a Shiite tribe.
It is not good for them.
Shame on America, shameful.
Well, the propaganda is already to spin out of America.
He here is, uh, Steve Colbert commenting hysterically on.
The brilliancy and it's the logic of president Biden's speech.
Then Biden pointed out the U S did everything we could for the Afghans.
We gave them every tool they could need.
We paid their salaries, provided for the maintenance of their air force.
We gave them every chance to determine their own future.
We could not provide them was the will to fight for that.
Just a thought, maybe we should have checked with the Afghan army if they had
the will before we gave them the tools and the weapons, because now the Taliban has
the will and the weapons and the former Afghan army soldiers are at home rubbing
miracle, grow on their face, trying to squeeze out a beard by Dawn is shameful.
It is, is a shameful day.
Those, those Afghani soldiers.
Who have given 55,000 of their lives over the last seven years for fighting for
their nation for fighting for humanitarian rights that apparently Joe Biden is so
concerned about those men are furious for their lives because they know that
the U S military left behind biometric.
For all of all the people who serve and help the U S government that now fall
into the hands of the Taliban who now have access to just go through and say, show
me your retina, show me your fingerprint.
And now we know exactly who you are and who you worked with.
We know.
And yet, and yet here we are laughing.
Ah, ha ha ah, ah, yeah, man, if only they had the will to fight.
Shame on America for betraying their allies for betraying their people
for betraying the Afghani people for betraying people who actually are in
a humanitarian crisis now because of your careless actions is shameful.
Well, luckily not everyone is so, uh, blind to this.
Here is a Matt Zeller after this.
Horrific speech by Biden.
Here's his commentary on it on MSNBC of all places.
I'm curious to hear your reaction of this consequential speech
by the American president.
Didn't run from it.
He owned it.
He owned his decision.
He owned the fact that as he put it, the buck stops with him.
I hope he gets to own their deaths too.
Uh, I, I don't, I feel like I watched a different speech
than the rest of you guys.
I was appalled, there was such a profound, bold face lie in that speech.
The idea that we plan for every contingency.
I have been personally trying to tell this administration, since it took office,
I've been trying to tell our government for years that this was coming right.
We sent them plan after plan on how to evacuate these people.
Nobody listened to us.
They didn't plan for the evacuation of our Afghan war time allies.
They're trying to conduct it now at the 11th hour.
The thing that they were most concerned about was the
optics of a chaotic evacuate.
Well, they got exactly what they were most concerned of by
failing to do what was right.
When we could have done it.
We had all the people and equipment in place to be able
to save these people months ago.
And we did nothing.
I'm appalled that he thinks that we only need to take 2000 people.
There's 86,000 people who are currently left behind in Afghanistan alone.
We've identified all of them for the government.
I have no idea why.
He claims that people don't want to leave Afghanistan.
I have a list of 14,000 names right now, but people who want to get out of
Afghanistan and the idea that the Afghan military should be blamed for this.
Do you know how many casualties the Afghan military took in an average year?
They stayed in 20 when you're not getting paid on a regular basis when
you're not getting fuel when no one is supplying you with ammunition.
And yet you're still showing up to the fight.
How dare us for having to blame these people for not having the audacity to
be able to survive a Taliban onslaught?
No, no, no, no, no.
What we need to be doing right now and what I am appalled that the president
didn't say was, we need to be talking about how we're going to get every
single one of these people out.
Is appalling here.
You're the president of the United States dare dares to talk about
humanitarian focus on our policy.
And yet they're abandoning all of our allies, not even talking about how to
get these people out, who we've betrayed.
He can't even get the U S citizens out.
They can't even assure that to their own people.
And yeah, this is, this was the right decision.
This was the right move up.
The, the Taliban's, uh, propaganda engine is just worrying along.
Uh, they're doing a fantastic job.
Uh, apparently they've been reading and studying over the last 20 years while, uh,
the Biden administration certainly has.
Certainly we apparently we haven't learned anything, but they have, and
they've learned the power of cozying up with the international press,
knowing how to say the right things at the right times and the right ways.
So, okay.
There father, good guys.
Maybe this look a little different, but they're good guys.
Yeah.
The, the propaganda machine is running well and smoothly for.
The Talibani, we're going to play a couple clips from what they are putting out.
And then I'll tell you the truth, the truth of what is happening.
The truth is what is happening from, from my Afghani friends who are
connected with hundreds of people in Afghanistan who are saying, this
is, this is actually the truth.
All that out there is propaganda, but you know why?
Because the internet is.
Sell data and service is out social media people.
Aren't going to post on social media.
What do you think people are afraid for their lives?
They are in hiding, but, but here's the Taliban singing exactly to
the tune that the international community, uh, wants to do.
But we are assuring the safety of all those who have worked with the United
States forces, uh, whether as interpreters or any other field that works with them,
uh, as per their talents and their skills, we do not want them to leave the country.
We want them to serve as for the, so the Taliban government of the,
uh, Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
They're promising, uh, amnesty essentially for all, for all those who have worked
with the U S government in the past.
Now in my mind, this is an optic.
This is not true.
And I will, I'll tell you why first is because they are going door to door and
making lists and asking, who do you know, that has worked with the U S government?
Who do you know, that has worked as a translator?
Who do you know.
And because my contacts tell me, actually, in the dead of night,
people are getting taken from their homes and executed, or a judge was
taken from his home and executed.
So you tell me, which is true now.
This is the oldest plane.
The book us us are, did this during the famine of the wheat bowl, where
millions of people were dying in, in Russia and Ukraine, where they did this.
When millions of people were being disappeared overnight in the middle
of the night, someone would come and knock on your door and arrest you.
And you don't even know why and your neighbors don't see you again.
And they either take you out back and shoot you.
Or they send you off to a Glock for 25 years, but the world either didn't
listen, didn't pay attention didn't care, or really believed the propaganda
coming out of the USSR, that it was a prosperous, glorious, fantastic nation.
But the truth was that millions of people, tens of millions of
people were going to their deaths.
Here's the propaganda machine working extremely well.
Here's another clip.
Now this clip isn't, uh, this clip is of some Taliban soldiers
driving up and interviewing shades.
So the Taliban, they are a Sunni sect of Islam and the Shiite,
or are another sect of Islam and they don't get along very well.
And the Sunni's do not, uh, I'm sure some do.
I'm not speaking for all Sunni's out.
But SUNY Taliban people.
How about we put it that way?
The Taliban, the Taliban does not see Shiite as a actual Muslims.
And so that is, uh, in the past has been a cause for Genesis.
And many being killed and slaughtered at the hands of the Taliban.
Well, here's one of the soldier coming up in interviewing, uh, some Shiites.
Do you see a car driving on the street?
And they pull up to some, the Taliban in a, in a car with a microphone
camera guns, pull up to assuming guns.
Pull up to, uh, some young Shiite and they began to ask questions
first, brother, are you from Shea?
Yes, we, are you guys celebrating?
Yes.
Any problems with your celebrations?
No.
No, no problems.
Any complaints?
No.
Has anyone limited, you know, the Talibans bonds in your survey?
That was a crude, a crude paraphrase of, of the conversation
as, uh, he's talking fast.
And it's actually a lot of copy to read.
As he's reading it, essentially in this clip, what would you, what would
you do if someone rolled up on you with the microphone, with the video
and with guns and tow and say, Hey.
We're we're the new guys in town.
We own the place now.
Uh, so tell me, has anyone given you, given you any problems?
Uh, no.
No problems here.
Are you sure these young boys, of course.
What do you think they're going to say?
They're not stupid.
What are you going to actually, yeah, let me tell you about all the
horrible things that have happened under into your, your guys's hands
and rules in the last three days.
Let me tell you.
The look and listen that the propaganda machine is coming out now.
And I highly highly suspect that this is the tune that we're going to begin
here, here, spoken of the Taliban.
They've changed their ways.
They've turned a new leaf.
Look, look what they're saying.
All these other reports we don't really know, or are they really true?
That's probably fake news.
That's probably misinformation.
Here's another clip of a female anchor interviewing a member of the Taliban.
I have a translation for this, but the fact alone that they're
allowing a woman anchor and one interviewing a man back in 2001.
In in, under the taller honors regime from 96 to 2001, this
would have never been allowed.
This is actually a really big deal.
And again, a great optic piece.
Look, the international community has said, what do we want?
We want freedom and equal rights for women.
And they're saying, look, we're giving that we're we have changed.
The war is over.
Here's equal rights for women.
See, look, we're actually great.
All of your fears, they're just fears.
You should stop believing the Western propaganda and the
lies because it's all not true.
Just forget about all the catastrophes and the tens of thousands of
civilians that have died at our hands.
Even in the last 20 years in this war, forget about everything
that happened from 2001 to 96.
Forget about that.
Look at this video shots.
Well, here's another great point.
Peace by the, the Afghanis or not the Afghanis.
Excuse me.
By the toddler.
but he was not in the video of some Taliban soldiers at a hospital
and he's explaining to them, oh, you women, they can come to work.
Your nurses and female doctors, they can come to work.
We won't harm them.
There's freedom here.
You're welcome to be here.
great.
A great PR piece.
Great optics.
All the women's sitting nurses.
Oh, it's you can come to work.
That's fine.
Will it stand?
Not likely hear the truth of what is is coming out?
Is this judges, translators, religious minorities, Christians Shiites.
Taken in the dead of night and executed the truth is this that the Taliban are
going door to door and knocking and finding out where are the young girls.
And do you need to be given over as, as essentially forced brides
to these soldiers, they're going door to door and figuring out
who, who worked with the village.
And they're taking lanes and they're making lists.
Maybe they're not acting now and maybe we'll do so discreetly, but
the reports that I'm hearing is that they have already begun to act.
They're already taking steps.
Here is one story.
It's not verified.
It's not confirmed how, how the story could be confirmed.
I don't even know, but this was passed on, uh, from what is a very
credible source, very credible source.
Reading this, the Taliban are searching door to door in our area
for anything written in English.
If they find it, they will kill the occupants are
accomplishment, certifications, books, articles, and diplomas.
Have been sent as she collected them since she has not been able to be with
us to celebrate over the last decades.
So this is a someone in the states writing about their family back in Afghanistan.
She's seen her mom is extremely sentimental, so that's why she sent
all these books and certificates.
And she said they've been burning all of the books and all the doctors.
And she's not certain if the Taliban won't find any trace of them as this
lady in Afghanistan and her eight year old son have helped with many activist
projects in Kabul, people are, are afraid.
And he said, if, if, if you, if they find people who have stuff in
your English who seem to have, uh, English contacts in their phone,
Young boys, men and women too.
They're going through their phones right now and making sure they're deleting any,
any Western phone number, any contact with any ex-pat deleting all their messages
off of WhatsApp because the Taliban will come in and say, give me your phone.
They will search their house and they will find them right now.
Thousands of minorities, especially Christians have fled their homes
so that they can't be identified.
And hiding across, across the nation because they know what is coming next.
Now th the Taliban of course is promising.
Well, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna establish a rule of law.
There's going to be order, and we're going to establish Sharia law.
Now, Sharia law could mean a plethora of things.
I live in a nation that has Sharia law and is one of the most peaceful nations.
Dubai is under Sharia law and there's a lot of freedoms.
There's a lot of places where there areas where it may be.
There are not freedoms that people in America enjoy, but regardless,
it doesn't necessarily imply that people's hands are getting chopped off.
Actually, it doesn't imply that at all, but the Talibans.
Of Sharia law is quite different than the version of Sharia law in, in the
UAE or the version of Sharia law in Oman or behind, or even in Saudi Arabia.
It's a very different version.
And it's, it's a Virgin that, that most Muslims would even say.
I don't even know if that's, if that can even be considered Muslim.
It seems so.
So when they say, well, we're going to establish a rule of law.
You know what that also means, and then says, well, you know, we're following
our law and all of these people here, they're guilty of breaking the law.
And so actually we're not committing war crimes because
these people have broken the law.
And so we're going to punish them according to our laws.
You can't say that we're in violating anything because
we're just following the law.
That's, what's coming and.
The Western media.
I, I would, I would not be surprised to cover up this fiasco just as
we saw that clip from Stephen Colbert, uh, just laughing.
I can see them beginning to spin this as, ah, you know what, this
was actually better for the nation.
See the telephone of change and all these fears and actions.
Biden made the right choice is a little messy for a couple of days there, but man,
it turned out to be great for all of those women and children and they finally can
express, express their cultural identity.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
In a post truth society where we have exchanged truth for lies and
reason for postmodern irrationality, the absurd finally makes sense.
And here is the national security advisor.
Jake Sullivan, making a whole lot of sense complete by August 31st.
And there are Americans and African allies who remained there will us troops today
until everyone is out or will they leave?
I'm going to comment on hypothetical.
So what I'm going to do is stay focused on the task at hand, which is getting as
many people out as rapidly as possible.
We will take that day by day.
Every American notice that the reporter in the back saying what
you can't, you can't commit.
You can't commit to getting every us citizen out.
No notice he could have said we are.
We are going to make sure that we leave.
At least you could have said, we're going to make sure that we leave no us citizen.
And we're going to do everything humanly possible to get every
single person that served with us, that their lives are at risk.
We're going to do everything possible to get them out.
And that is the commitment that we're making.
That is an easy statement to say, Instead it's oh, I'm not going to comment on
hypotheticals and all, you know, we're just going to focus on the task at hand.
And if some people get left behind, I mean, well, that's just life.
It's just a part of life.
The U S is not just betraying our allies.
They're betraying their own citizens, that you can't even make commitment
to evacuate your citizens in a mess that you made a mess that you made.
Well, this is.
Oh, it's just mine.
It's mine.
Blow blowing.
It's earth shattering.
I can't even wrap my head around the state that, that America has fallen to.
Uh, it is, it is shocking.
It is absolutely a disgrace that the national security advisor can't even make
a commitment to their own us citizens.
It is spineless.
It is just absolutely spineless.

We will be right back with our closing Weaver and loom segment.
Hello, we'll come back to Weaver.
Aluma part of the show where we take ancient wisdom and we live
it in with our everyday lives so that we can own our future.
And we've our destinies that today's quote is from the book of Proverbs.
I love Proverbs.
I love wisdom that that helps me.
It's like a windshield wiper sometimes just like when things are a little
muddy, things are a little unclear.
You just put a little wisdom on and at least things start
to get a little more clear.
Well, this is from Proverbs 29.
Verse two says when the righteous increase, the people rejoice when
the wicked rule, the people grown.
If you have any question, do you have any doubt whatsoever?
What sort of people are now?
Look at the groaning that's happening, but at the groaning that is happening
in Afghanistan, and that tells you two things, it tells you two things.
It tells you that the Taliban is not a righteous people who are going to rule
with kindness, meekness, grace, and humor.
And it also tells you that America has made a horrible mistake and that
those who ruling America, the ruling elite class that made this decision
that betrayed their allies, betrayed the Afghan people, betrayed the
humanitarian crisis that they, they so boasts about protecting and they, they
opened the door to, to not their ally.
But to those who have in many ways, our sworn enemies of the United States,
not that the United States have swarmed them as enemies, but they have sworn
to be enemies of the United States.
It is a clear when you look at the, the, and you hear the stories and you look
at the people in fear in hiding, you look at the footage of people storming.
The airport and risking their lives to flee from clean onto airplanes.
It tells you something, it tells you something about the state that they
know they're about to enter into.
They, they have not forgotten.
They have not forgotten the atrocity.
That that happened between 1996 and 2001 in that nation.
And they have not forgotten the war that they have fought their civil war
that they have fought for the last seven years plus where they've lost
over 55,000 people in, in their war.
Just soldiers, not including civilians from the hands of the.
They have not forgotten, but apparently we have, well, that's all for this episode.
Uh, please, I highly encourage you to do more than just like, and share
subscribed on, on other social media.
Do more than just share and talk about this with your
community and people around you.
Please find a way to give financially to this crisis.
I.
