citizens, those trapped behind enemy lines tonight, and it s not good for the world, either.. if he doesn t care about the lives of americans abroad, if he s not up to this job, he needs to either step down or be removed. if he just wants to live out his remaining days on a beach in delaware, i m fine with that. step down, let someone more capable take over. someone that may have a sense of urgency about how dire the situation is and the amount of potential power and leverage that he has now single-handedly given the terrorist organization, and god forbid, what i can think of in my mind, which i will not express, they could do to the americans held behind enemy lines. we pray for those americans from every one of them. we want them home safely. they are trapped in afghanistan. we pray for our friends, we pray for our allies who have been abandoned, and we pray also that as many lives as possible, hopefully, prayerfully, every life will be saved before it is too late. a
granted, it took two days to take control of the airport, we have control of the airport now. still a lot of pandemonium outside the airport. there is. but no one is being killed right now. god forgive me if i am wrong about that, but no one is being killed right now. sean: no one is being killed right now. well, you are wrong about that. people are being killed and beaten and whipped and stabbed at checkpoints. we have reports taliban fighters are blocking many from even getting through. and yet americans are being told to attempt to get there, but they can t be protected. there is no guarantee of safety. now flights are taking off half empty. joe biden doesn t seem to realize the magnitude of what is going on and what led to this mess and how it could have been prevented. take a look. what happens now in afghanistan? do you believe the taliban have change? no. i believe let me put it this way.
