Keeping in mind the highest Military Officer and the job is to follow the order of t elected officials. No matter how much their feelings may be heard. In this case, that is not what happened. The rules are different now. According to paul eaton, the president s and salt that they were in bitter humiliation for the military leaders. And they needed permission to undermine the Voting Control of The Pentagon ever after. Saying i was really shocked by how many voted for the former president and openly supported him. But when Trump Turn on the military, the military turn on him. But thatm. Is not how democracs supposed to work. But again, that is not what happened. Stories began leaking about how President Trump was ignoring classified intelligencere about russian bounties. Those stories came from The Pentagon. The military refused to withdraw troops from Syria And Afghanistan even though they were ordered to do so and again, no more civilian control of the military. When Joe Biden finally became president ,in the chairman was so excited he could not control himself saying that no one has a bigger Smile Today than i do. Saying that you cant see it under my mask, but i do. And the media, people that supported him from the very beginning, including a former Cia Director also celebrated and they said that the adults are back in charge and the Orange Man is gone, everything is going to be better now. Anybody who has any connection to reality about what is going on around them should have watchedd that instead that the adults are back in the room. Still, it is a relief to have adults in charge. There is a sense of the adults have returned. We have an adult the White House now and it is glorious. Those clips are amazing to watch. Celebrating adulthood and these days they no longer think that he is an adult. The abandoned american citizen, 13 Americans A were killed and they seem a little ashamed. And that is the greatest offensive on. Thet bigger question is the adults are back in charge. What does that mean exactly rematch if you follow those that have been telling us about this for the past 20 years in afghanistan, it means people that are willing to pretend that everything is fine when its very much not find. And no matter how badly he died in afghanistan, The Pentagon and the spokesman repeatedly told us that we are making incredible progress and by progress, that is the word that they used again and again, almost that they coordinated it. The head of the central command told reporters that over three years we have been operating, afghanistan has shown interest in progress. Two years later another Senior General had a similar message saying that i would like to point out significant progress in the Word Movement of the Afghan National Army. And apparently another adult said the progress was ongoing. Even as the Coalition Casualties were increasing, it continued unabated no matter what. And that includes the commander of all u. S. Forces in afghanistan, also wanted us to know progress is made. Saying that we have made significant progress in 2009, beginningg some progress, we wil make real progress in 2010 which was 11 years ago. Then fired for criticizing the Obama Administration and sure enough progress has been achieved and we are poised to realize more. And that includes progress. It is extraordinary because over the last year the taliban was there. And if we can expand the bubble and i think that we can talk about things in this conflict. He didnt actually use the word conflict, but the message was the same. Just to make sure that that message was crystal clear, they kept using that word a few years later, saying that the progress is where we have made significant progress. And then he said it when the new commander in afghanistan said the same thing, john nicholson. As recently as last year a spokesman said he was hard at work making sure to accelerate progress in afghanistan. So if youre wondering why Americans Aref so confused as to why Transit Cell in an afternoon, maybe because they thought that we were making progress. And so consider that whole technology, consider the news that reuters wrote about the recent conversation. In saying that i need not tell you the perception around the world, i believe that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the taliban. That is what president Joe Biden said. Whether its true or not, there is a need to project a different picture. In two things to say about this, we know the conversation took place because The Pentagon or the State Department talked about in regards to reuters. So he did pull american troops out of afghanistan, and they hate that. So that includes the president speaking to another head of state. You Cant Conduct Statecraft people are leaking the content. And yet they are looking to get back because he broke the rules. And so blind to the rest of us about what is actually happening with our money in our name, that is the philosophy of the military establishment. Also of every Highranking Official in the Joe Biden administration. Projecting the illusion of progress even when its clear that we are falling. Many have been trapped in afghanistan. Now the u. S. Military and our troops have departed. And art new chapter has become. We believe that theres still a small number of american, it could be closer to 100 who remain in afghanistan and want to leave who are trying to determine exactly how many. Well, we have 20 years to figure it out, but we have no idea how many schoolchildren are in afghanistan. And that is why we are going to lead with diplomacy. And the State Department announced that they were Spending Hundreds of millions in social programs to destroy the patriarchy. Compose the modernist social values on prehistoric countries. Including supporting womens empowerment. And that includes for 8. 5 years that was one of the first programs in afghanistan history here, hopes, progress, only to have it snatched away. So it takes a special kind of arrogance that we used to call imperial to imagine that other cultures want to talk about the structure, for example. And we try to impose our customs on them and they hated it. Perhaps thats one weekend that they saw the taliban takeover in the weekend. Including lead with diplomacy. That is what afghanistan look like, meanwhile we have been giving billions of american military dollars to the taliban. Rochon row of sophisticated assault rifles, pistols, ammunition, vision equipment. Posted by the taliban in recent days post what they say at the airport, armored humvees. Ambush protected vehicles costing half A Million Dollars a piece. Even a small drone. These are thehe potentially letl spoils that they are believed to have captured from defeating afghan forces, weapons made in America Supplied by theon united states to their allies. So now we are arming the taliban, so who could have possibly seen that coming . He writes and thank you so much for coming on. Its a little bit weird for the News Organizations that repeated not just on the left. But almost all of them talking about how afghanistan was progressing for 20 years and then theres something there, isnt there . The whole thing was a fraud, you know, you cannot go to back to the way they were. They wrote down a really important story, they obtained a secret documents, the obama years were internally we were saying the opposite of what they were o saying publicly, just lie they did in vietnam. They were saying, as you showed, internallyea they knew that the Security Forces were a joke and filled with illiterate people that couldnt do anything for Drug Addicts and they would disappear as soon as they got their paycheck. And so while i do agree, of course, that there are in attitudes, the fact that we went through this, first President Trump then president biden, it is something to celebrate in the large part, the first time in as long as i can remember as these people, what i do know is they have finally lost in the media is turning against Joe Biden not because it suddenly became rare but because they are angry on behalf of the faction that they genuinely serve. I hate to say that i agree with you. I think that Joe Biden is an awful president , but on the other hand, youre not supposed to weaken audiotape of his recorded conversation with another head of state. And how could he do any real diplomacy, why should we not be worried about that . You know, i think this is a key point. A lot of people asked me about it. Including about the presidency. What i saw in opposition was something far more dangerous than anything i thought they would be capable of doing, they made clear, the cia, pentagon, permanent Militaryhe And Securiy inside the united states, they were willing to intervene to undermine the president. They i talked about how they wet to war with the president. The fact that we have this, but the u. S. Media was cheering, they were thrilled that these generals they were heralding as heroes for keeping classified information away from them, they were cheering the generals as saving them from the elected leader,s which is the definition of an unhinged, crazy conspiracy theorist. The media had the power to override our democracy whenever they thought that it could lead to a veto. You know, that makes the societys super volatile and dangerous. And i agree with you 100 . These two laugh at the term the deep state, but it is completely real. Smack to be with you, thank you. So we maybe havent spent time thinking about the chaos will mean for the future of the west, what we are seeing now will have massive consequences to the generation. But there is one person that can see clearly, our friend douglas. Thank you so much for coming on. Thank you. What does this mean going forward for the united states . I think it is a sad corner for everybody who believes that the united states is a force for good in the world, american competitors and enemies are talking about the humiliation and afghanistan. But i think that itt Is Americas Friends and allies, those that will be even more concerned. President came and pretending that this had been totally uninterested in diplomacy, vacuously mixing together the world democracy. Hes done exactly the opposite. He did notid consult allies, he ignored his friends and his allies. He left americans behind, he betrayed his allies. You know, this is the sort of experience that people remember. Americas enemies and competitors and fans willit remember. Then this humiliating thing which only the White House can talk about when it comes to what they are trying to portray it as. Everybody else can see that after 20 years in afghanistan, america has shown that its not a particularly dangerous enemy to have a not particularly good friends to have either. Smack the consequences of that, weakness invites aggression . Yes, always. , always. You know, there is a symbolic fundamentally sound in all of this. Vacationing in the hampton, you know, one individual was in crete. But the taliban doesnt take holidays. That is because we didnt treat this as seriously as they did. And yet again its not just about watches or time with seriousness and whether you actually intend to do what you claim your mission was, if america was serious about afghanistan it would not have left the country with Hundreds Of Thousands of machine guns, mortars and pistols and so much more. What we have heard in recent days even about that, what we have heard about that is there is a lackluster claim by some of the remaining defenders saying oh, no, most of them wont be able to be operated and Lo B and behold they are within a day. And they say that the retreat from the air force, they destroyed 150 vehicles and also talking about it just as delisi didnt leave an Operating System behind the men that they could immediately shoot the last american plane leaving the kabul airport. There is nothing to boast about. Nothing to boast about, about 20 years, which i might remind you, america invited the allies to come into it. You know, it was the one for all and all for one principle and at the end of the Day America left without allies or friends and with nothing to show for it. In the worst possible way. Its a dangerous thing, i know. Thank you for coming on the show. It is a great pleasure of mine. Tucker as if the humiliation could not be more profound, the Joe Biden administration made the financial aid to the taliban, one reason why, they have promised to fight climate change. We are not making that up. That is coming up next. Every single day, were all getting a little bit better. Were better cooks. Better neighbors. Hi. Ive got this until you get back. Better parents. And better friends. No no thats why comcast works around the clock constantly improving americas largest gigspeed broadband network. And just doubled the capacity here. How do things look on your end . Perfect because were building a better network every single day. Tucker Tucker Welcome back to a Special Edition of tuckercoba carlson. Many promises of the taliban has made in taking control of afghanistan. Including about an inclusive government. Not something they are famous for using. Insight into the newscast from afghanistan where they held a Tv Anchor at gunpoint. But they have also promised to fight Terrorism And Fight climatee change. Accepted by the international community. They seem prepared, particularly if they become T Lawyers against climate change. Indicating that they would be willing to give economic information to the taliban. Dan is joining us now. Thank you for coming on. It seems like we could have shortcircuited a lot of these years in afghanistan if only we would have agreed to fight climate change. Thats a good question. This is all baffling to me. It the idea that this is the case, that is pretty wild. Tucker europeanstyle western liberals, they are going to have to ban mtv. Yes, they reported like seven journalists, a member was killed, part of the german journalism organization, this is wild. These people believe that the taliban flipped over a new leaf, but theres only one, good way o tell its not true. These videos, he was the Osama Bin laden bodyguard for years, it he was there during 9 11, he spent time in a pakistani prison till he was released until after he was killed and this idea that the taliban and Al Qaeda are not linked is absolutely and demonstrably untrue. And we will suffer the consequences for naivety. Tucker i wonder if the Joe Biden Administrate Administration has become an online partner. So what about being called racist for criticizing them . Well, oh, boy. I think everybody loves that criticism. You know, i am a hopeful guy. Are you depressed women do live in a world people who fought in afghanistan. How sad is it that, honestly . The most important thing that any Human Being can do is be there for the people that need them. And they have failed at the most basic Human Existence and now robbing u. S. Service members of their ability to do the same. And there will be Ang Moral Injy that persists the same way we did in vietnam. Tucker i think that is exactly right, you cant protect your own people, you are worthless and dishonorable. That is right. Tucker thank you for coming on tonight.

For all of your headlines, the Fox News. Com. Youre watching most powerful news, Fox News channel. Tucker welcome to a Special Edition of Tucker Carlson. American taxpayers shelled out 90 Billion for Military Equipment for the afghan army. That included everything from an entire air force, blackhawk helicopters, aircraft, Hundreds Of Thousands of rifles and the taliban has a lot of that equipment. One of the best armed militaries of its size in the world. Andn today we are honored to Hae Him with us. The taliban after 20 years is more legitimate in the eyes of the socalled internationalat community, much better than ital was in 2001. How can you talk about the development. I think that we are under underestimating. If you look at the Military Aid that we have given israel since the founding of the state is about 85 over a sevenyear time frame. We are worried about Aircraft Carrier. 12 Billion from the most expensive Aircraft Carrier in history. Weve can have 70 of them for the price of weapons in afghanistan. Wet talk about tanks, the Weapon Depot that we left in afghanistan has the equivalent worthni of three times of with l of the tanks that we have ever deployed. That we have ever had in the army. Its a boondoggle that some people think it is. We couldve had A Thousand of those with the equipment that we left. It is the greatest loss of Military Equipment in the history of warfare by one power. And its staggering. The people responsible for this should be either fired orch resign. They have done so much damage to havenited states and they empowered the precivilizational terrorist ban, making them into a considerable, you know, militia, double Cause Havoc for the next 20 t years. And i really think that it is right a atrocious and nobody is taking blame for it. And they are now using to find out who helped him. And the final thing is that we were told by the top ranking general again and again that the taliban and us have the same agenda, we wanted Out Berkeley by the 31st, they did, so that we can trust him. We were working together. But we didnt have an agenda anywhere near there is, because their agenda was we want you on the 31st, but we want to cause as much humiliation as possible, Death And Disruption as we can get away with so you dont come back. And we wanted none of that. There is something terribly wrong with the military, i dont know if it is the distraction, as they go through the ranks, trying to weed out potential supremacists come or if they are just incompetent or too worried about the revolving door going in and out on the Defense Contractor boards. But we need a bipartisan B Investigation of top brass in the system is a systemic failure costing usat dearly. Tucker also mass suicide being committed, that is something we are seeing from a lot of News Outlets in the english speaking world. Figure for having me. Tucker thank you for being on. We are learning more about the fact that not all these individuals are translators. We have the details when we return with us Special Edition of Tucker Carlson tonight of Tucker Carlson tonight. My Retirement Plan with voya keeps me moving forward. Even after paying for this. Love you, sweetheart they guide me with achievable steps that give me confidence. This is my granddaughter. Shes cute like her grandpa. Voya doesnt just help me get to retirement. Theyre with me all the way through it. Come on, grandpa later. Got grandpa things to do. Aw, grandpas are the best well planned. Well invested. Well protected. Voya. Be confident to and through retirement. Welcome back to a Special Edition of Tucker Carlson tonight. About 30,000 afghan nationals each week, some 300,000 Have Arnie made it to turkey. These numbers do not include the Tens Of Thousands of afghan nationals were evacuated by the u. S. To carry in the final days. Including those School Children left behind. So exactly how many afghanistan citizens are coming to the united states . The State Department wont tell us and they are, however, telling nonprofit that the 50,000 citizens could arrive without visas, and that is a good thing. We have a Contributing Editor whos joining us now. Hes so much for having us here. So it does seem that the effort to evacuate refugees from afghanistan was much better thought through and far better coordinated to the evacuation of american citizens. Am i imagining that . Smack it doesnt seem that way, its not just the effort, its also the public Relations Aspect of this. Again, just like the progress that you mention with the Afghan National Army makingth progress. Its a talking point, people that have helped us, we do have some debt of obligation. And we have toe be careful abot the vetting process. And im seeing a lot of media pressure. And that includes those that are on Theon Land route over to europe. Also pushing them. You have to have porous borders. I went and reported on it. And that includes walking with the afghanistan through the greek isles and the balkan states. I was inclined to say that the these were refugees. And who can forget the syrian civil war. But a lot of them, many were iraqis, Iranians Y and lots of afghan people. And Hundreds Of Thousands of afghans were fleeing afghan and as refugees. And Hundreds Of Thousands are going to be on the move now. , by the refugees . How many are actually economic migrants . And that includes this as well, the media calls all of them refugees, refugees from the refugees. Forcing countries like turkey, browbeating turkey, who is now doing the right thing because people arere fed up. None of these details makes it in places like the new york times. Tucker im sure that they didnt understand what a your but it turned out to be. When the distinct culture, its like, that is over in someur places. They found an expression one excuse in the crisis. And again, that distinction between the migrants and refugees, it has to have a wellfounded fear of persecution including afghans born in iran. And every single one of those is a refugee, the entire population. We also think that we are so repressive that they come here, it doesnt make sense. Tucker its great to see you tonight, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me. Tucker as kabul fell, we decided to talk to the founder of blackwater who decided to tell is an amazing story about his life and the life of Joe Biden have intersected in afghanistan. Its a memorable story coming up next a memorable story. Thats next. Its time for my monthly Book Club its an opportunity for us girls to connect and remind Each Other whos on mute. And this is how we have to meet. Because when we spend time indoors with people, we can still spread covid faster than nancys gossip. Thats why im still masking wherever i go. Because until im vaccinated, a mask helps slow the spread. Which means the sooner i can get back to a Friends House to judge their interior design. We cant hear you, dolores Tucker Welcome back to the Special Edition of Tucker Carlson. As kabul fell, we talked to Erik Prince spoke years ago, one of the largest in the world, spending an awful lot of time in afghanistan. During that conversation revealed something we do know, which is that blackwater was saved the life of Joe Biden. 30 years from now, last question for you, since you are good at this. Imagine what the future will look like. What does america a look like a manic. Well, we are coming to inflection point. And i think that we are in 1977, you know, the carter administration, if you think about the 70s it was a setback for the last Foreign Policy Setbacks in your Head Inflation and stagnation and the Oil Crises and allll the rest and we just had, like What Carter said. Leadership can turn it around, just like you can turn a business around, you can also turn the country around. Yes, the congress is useless and there is a reason the founding fathers set it up so that every two years to do so. The same thing. You can turn over a third of the senators every two years which requires leadership. Whether that is election integrity, you do that on a local basis and the biggest problems stem from the fact that the federal government has gotten way too large and we need to maximize the 10th i amendmen. States rights, limiting the powers of the federal government. It has only been entitled for them to do so the states have to be much stronger at flexing the muscles and saying hey, were not going to pay for your stupidity in washington. I have to get to this. This is your book, civilian warriors. Page 180. But all we can comment o on thi, but its right here and it says the senators, the secretary of defense and the secretary of state, respectively posed while waiting for blackwater rescue. What is a manic. Okay, they were on a congressional visit to afghanistan in the winter and the u. S. Army helicopter got lost in a Blinding Snowstorm and the taliban territory on the side of a mountain and the u. S. Military launched a Ground Convoy then they did not get lost and we recover them. The rest of them from the taliban taliban territory. Are they grateful . Welcome you would think so, but no. I did not get a christmas card. The one Erik Prince, you can watchul the full episode on fox nation. That is it for us tonight on Tucker Carlson. Have a greatat weekend. Sean and welcome to the Special Edition of hannity.
