George Stephanopoulos
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy, his spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point usa.

We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives. And we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Hey, everybody. This episode is brought to you by my friends at ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN.com Charlie, secure your device. Anonymize your online activity. Protect your action online. Expressvpn.com Charlie, help our show out by also helping yourself, protect yourself. Expressvpn.com Charlie yesterday there was a press conference done by the Pentagon or conducted by Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley. And they were giving an update about Afghanistan. And that press conference with Dumb and Dumber was the greatest example, the best example I can think of, of exactly where our culture is and where our government is. Now, Lloyd Austin is the Secretary of Defense. He was asked repeatedly by members of the media, how many people are in Afghanistan? Can we get those people out of Afghanistan? What if this turns into a hostage situation, like the Iran hostage crisis? What if this turns into a Afghan equivalent of Dunkirk? What is the plan here? What are our capabilities? And what we saw from the answers from Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley was beyond underwhelming. It was humiliating. In fact, it was scary. The fact that these people are in charge of our military shows that we are not safe. I want you to listen to this. Cut 76. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin says that we don't have the capability to go out and collect large numbers of people. Cut 76.
- [03:55]
George Stephanopoulos
Do you have the capability to go
- [03:56]
Charlie Kirk
out and collect Americans? We don't have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people. That's a lie. The United States military has the capability to do it. We have hypersonic missiles. We have robo vehicles. We have drone reconnaissance. What he's saying is we don't have the willingness to do that. Big difference. Capability and willingness. Now, I wouldn't expect an accurate answer from someone like Lloyd Austin, who was heralded as being Secretary of Defense, not because he was qualified, not because he had such a wonderful history of winning wars. But as the Associated Press said on January 22, for the first black Pentagon chief, racism challenge is personal. He is the byproduct of Florida Palooza that we had in 2020 when we lost St. George in Minneapolis. You have critical race theory and BLM incorporated. Take over your whole country, and then you get someone as unqualified as Lloyd Austin. Now, if he was qualified, then so be it. Terrific. But instead, there's an entire article here that says the racism issue is personal. At Tuesday's confirmation hearing, he explained why. I'm sorry. I want someone who is good at killing our enemies and keeping Americans safe. This is what he said in his confirmation hearings. He said, keep America safe from our enemies. But we can't do that if some of those enemies lie within our own ranks. You hear that? Lloyd Austin was more worried about trying to get rid of people that read foxnews.com and watch Tucker Carlson that serve in the Marines and the Air Force than actually protecting us from our enemies. And then you have standing next to him the other incredibly unimpressive, the, the dumber of the dumb, Mark Milley. He said this in cut 78. There is nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of the Afghan army and this government in 11 days. Play cut 78. There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days. And that's another lie. There is intelligence to show that the Taliban was taking city by city and the American military did nothing. And Joe Biden, the commander in chief sat by and did nothing. Now Mark Milley is also a product of the diversity industrial complex. We have the military industrial complex and now we have the diversity industrial complex. Because Mark Milley is the only type of white male that the regime accepts who's safe, self hating, pandering to the zeitgeist or the spirit of the times, willing to read white fragility and tell senators how wonderful it is. Weak against our enemies, strong against American citizens, willing to deploy American armed forces against citizens if necessary and completely incompetent when it comes to geopolitics. You see, Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin have perfected the art of the fail. Not the art of the deal, but the art of the fail, which has been a practice over many decades of failing upwards. You see, the ruling class is a ruling class of failures in America. They focus on arbitrary, insignificant issues such as racism in the United States military while Kabul gets overrun and Americans remain hostage. Mark Milley being a self hating, rather unimpressive white male general and Lloyd Austin being a black Secretary of defense. Their skin color aside, all they wanted to talk about before the fall of Kabul was how racist our military was and how critical race theory needs to be taught within our ranks. This is what happens when you make diversity the focus of the entire government. And for Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin, they say, well, quitting is winning. That's all we've ever done our entire life. Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin, the duo act the Beavis and Butthead routine. They know how to lose, keep losing and benefit from it. In cut 80, let's get that queued up. Secretary Austin said we are going to have to get everyone evacuated. We'll do that as long as possible until the clock runs out or we run out of capability. Excuse me, the clock runs out. You're the head of the Secretary of Defense of the United States Government, there is no clock. You find every American citizen, you get them out. You do not leave anyone behind. What sort of ethos is that? Oh, for him, his ethos is diversity is our strength. White supremacists around the corner, leave no people behind. He doesn't believe that. He has basically sent a message to the Taliban, I'm not going to come get every American. We might try or say we're trying, but it's Lord of the flies, good luck. Cut 80. And we're going to get everyone that we can possibly evacuate. Evacuate it, and I'll do that as long as we possibly can until the clock runs out or we run out of capability. Until we run out of capability. Go with this idea of capability. There are no limits to the United States military capability for this operation. We have the capability. We don't have the willingness. For Joe Biden, he's perfectly fine sitting idly by, having a dialogue with George Stephanopoulos, which we will get into in a second, and saying, look, Americans are. They're on their own. It's not like we're going to go save them. It's not like that's my job. We're here to keep the borders open, bring refugees into the country and makes no difference. And we will get into that stunning interview with George Stephanopoulos. But remember this Reuters piece? Women make up 60% of White House staff and a diversity total of 44%. We've been told diversity is our strength. Are you sleeping better at night knowing you have a black Secretary of Defense who's incompetent? And 60% of the white House staff is women with a diversity total at 44%. And Reuters said it's the most diverse White House in White House ever. Does that make you feel better about those 10,000 or possibly 30,000Americans stuck in Kabul? Maybe it hasn't been our strength. Maybe it's been a diversion tactic, smokescreen, a mirage, the vapor to try to have you focus on things that don't matter while the country crumbles. How many years have I been telling you about relief factor? A lot. Truth is, I know millions of people. In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older. Now, Pete and Seth Talbott, they are on a mission. You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment. They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year. And I believe they'll do it. So here's the deal. Go to relieffactor.com, that's relieffactor.com or call 800 500, 8384. People ask me, tell me why relief factor is so successful in lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question. So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like producer Andrew maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane or but maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be, maybe your relief factor is for you. Reliefactor.com, 100% drug free. Check it out. Reliefactor.com Joe Biden sat down with George Stephanopoulos. George Stephanopoulos did a pretty good job pressing him. Not a perfect job. He was light on a couple things, but he did continue asking questions to Joe Biden in a rather forceful way. I want to play some tape here, but I don't know if we got I want to finish the Secretary Austin Mark Milley routine. The head of the diversity industrial complex, which is we're going to do cut 81 where Secretary Austin looks totally stunned when a reporter says it sounds like you're depending on diplomacy with the Taliban. And General Milley then interrupts and says the State Department has sent messages urging people to go to the airport and they're uninvolved. They're basically like you're on your own play. Cut 81 it sounds like you're saying this depends on diplomacy with the Taliban. That's it. That's our only option is getting them
- [12:38]
George Stephanopoulos
to agree to do this.
- [12:41]
Charlie Kirk
Well, let me add something here, Helene. We got a couple of entry control points set up. Messages have gone out by various means of communication from the State Department to American citizens, citizens and others, and they're being told to go to those gates. So how many Americans are still in Afghanistan? Wouldn't it be the role of the government to find out? Well, maybe if our government wasn't spying on American citizens domestically so much, we would have a better idea of the headcount in Afghanistan. But no, but they're too busy worrying about whether or not you reject COVID vaccine mandates according to the Department of homeland security. Cut 90 the Pentagon has no idea. How does a multi trillion dollar government have even just the ballpark figure of how many of their own citizens are in a country that they're currently occupying and waging war in? How's that even possible? Cut 90 Is there a breakdown of those numbers, the 7,000 saying, this is the U.S. this is Afghan, I do not have a, I do not have a breakdown. I suspect that over time, as our manifesting process gets more refined, we may be able to be there, but we don't have that specific breakdown. As of today, how many American citizens remain in Afghanistan? I don't know. He does not know. So who gets preference and priority? Well, if you were to implement the doctrine of the woke, the principles and the tenets of the activists like Millie and Austin who run our military, well then Americans do not get first preference to leave the country because Americans are evil. You see, if you implement Nikole Hannah Jones belief that America was founded on slavery and we've always been slave, we've always been engaging in a form of slavery, as Henry Rogers, who renamed himself as Iberme X Kendi would say, or Taha Nisi Coates would say, then why would you ever prioritize Americans in a time of need? You see, when chaos breaks out, you need to know your rulers priorities. A great example of this is if you're in a movie theater or a restaurant and a fire breaks out or a crisis begins, your family will look out for your family first. You know, that gives you some peace. It's very clear they're not going to just go across the movie. They do some random person until their own family is taken care of. Your leaders have that sort of obligation or should have that kind of duty and obligation to you. But this is what happens when you implement all of these ideas that we're yelling about in school boards where people say, what is the difference? I'll tell you the difference. What difference it makes. When you run your military under the doctrine of the woke and critical race theory, all of a sudden you don't prioritize your own countrymen. Exhibit A, cut 92. Pentagon press secretary John Kirby says of the 2,000 people who have been evacuated over the last 24 hours, 300 of them were Americans. Which is 2,000 people get evacuated and 300 of them are Americans. So 1,700 people that get evacuated from a war zone, they're not passport holders. But that's what happens when you are told that Americans are nothing but evil and racist and bigoted. Cut 92. John, what proportion of the 2000 are
- [16:12]
George Stephanopoulos
American citizens versus SIVs?
- [16:14]
Charlie Kirk
Of the 2000 over the last 24 hours, I think nearly 300 of them were Americans. 300 out of 2000, not even 1/4, not even 75%. So when your government now faces a crisis they would much rather evacuate foreign nationals than people like you. And that makes sense. That's their border policy right now on the southern border. Why wouldn't they implement it in Kabul? That's what they're teaching children in colleges. Every once in a while, a coffee company comes along that changes the way we think about our morning routine. If you're like me, you're looking to support companies that reflect your values, the values of freedom and liberty that love America. I can tell you right now, I've got to know the people at Minutemen Coffee. Their coffee's really good. It's bold and smooth, never bitter, roasted in small batches and shipped to order. Minutemen Coffee. I love the name, by the way. Minutemen. That's how our country was founded. Never fails to deliver on time with the freshest roasts available. Minutemen Coffee supports our first responders, our constitutional sheriffs, and our veteran and military servicemen and women throughout the country through various charities. I'm proud to partner with Minutemen Coffee and excited to share them with you. Minutemen Coffee subscription plans are top notch and easy to manage on your terms. Give them a try. They are phenomenal people. It's so tasty. So go right now to Minutemen Coffee.com and get your freedom loving coffee today. That's Minutemen Coffee.com. you will not be disappointed. You can rest assured that even though Kabul is on fire and there is anywhere upwards of 40,000Americans in Afghanistan, we have a black Secretary of Defense. Everybody. Diversity is our strength. If you disagree, you're a racist bigot. The only thing where diversity is a strength is getting people to stop calling you a racist. It's basically the only utility. Joe Biden, who is in steep mental decline, should be nowhere near the presidency, gave a interview to George Stephanopoulos, and George Stephanopoulos did pretty well. I'd give him a 5 out of 10 considering they're both part of the same kind of group. We'll start with this one. We'll start with cut 72 with Joe Biden where he said, your military advisors did not tell you that we should keep 2,500 troops. And Joe Biden says no. No one said that to me that I can recall. Oh, we're playing memory games now. Joe Biden. So what is your name? How long have you been president? Who is your child? Very basic questions. Oh, no generals made that recommendation. Even Mark Milley, who is the male military version of Robin Diangelo, even said himself that he made that recommendation. Play cut 72.
- [19:24]
George Stephanopoulos
Whole hell of A lot more troops here. But your top military advisors warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops. No, they didn't. It was split. That wasn't true. That wasn't true. So, no. No one told your military advisor to not tell you. No, we should just keep 2500 troops. It's been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that. No, no one said that to me. That I can recall.
- [19:48]
Charlie Kirk
That I can recall. Even though that was said to him, according to Mark Milley. And let me just say, a side note. You look at Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin, I don't think either of them could pass a basic training test. Overweight generals tend to not do well. Can we bring back George s. Patton, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, real men. There's a great quote by Orwell. People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Joe Biden continued with George Stephanopoulos in one of the most inexcusable actions I have ever seen a president use or do, where Joe Biden said to George Stephanopoulos, where George Stephanopoulos said, hey, look, there's a lot of pandemonium at the cab at the Kabul airport, to say the least. But he says, look, no one's being killed right now. And then he does something that I would only do to say, you know, I hope the Cubs win the World Series. Knock on wood. Joe Biden literally knocks on wood after saying, no one's been killed yet. That's your president. Your president right now is someone who is knocking on wood, hoping the Taliban doesn't slaughter his own citizens. But what's an American citizen anyway? The Joe Biden, they're all the same. It's not like we know their voting history. They're kind of useless. He doesn't feel a duty or an obligation for me. He's like, I hope it works out. Knock on wood. Cut 73.
- [21:30]
George Stephanopoulos
Still a lot of pandemonium outside the airport. Well, there is, but look. But no one's being killed right now. God forgive me for if I'm wrong about that, but no one's being killed right now.
- [21:39]
Charlie Kirk
Knocking on wood. So someone asked, well, what can Biden possibly do? Very simple. Here's what Trump would do. Biden should, but he won't. Well, first of all, he should have been in the Middle east by now with a command center till every American was extracted. But that's too much energy. That's A lot of effort. Joe Biden doesn't, doesn't have that in him to save his fellow countrymen. Doesn't really care. Instead, if Joe Biden cared, he should give one speech 35 seconds long to the Taliban watching. You broke the peace agreement. You touch an American, I bomb your village to the ground. You'll come home to carcasses of dead women and children. Every American gets to the airport safely, good night. That's what a president would do. Instead, he's knocking on wood, asking for another bowl of ice cream. Cut 74. George Stephanopoulos. So you don't think this exit could have been handled? Joe Biden triples down. No, but we'll go back in hindsight. But the idea somehow you could have gotten there without chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens. Well, for Joe Biden and the people around him that have never done anything successful in their life, like Lloyd Austin and like Mark Milley, the art of the fail that runs DC they never would think creatively enough to say, hey, can we have maybe set up a perimeter? Maybe we should defend Kabul till all of the Americans are out. Maybe we shouldn't pick an arbitrary date like September 11th in the heart of the killing season to get out. Maybe we should withdraw slowly and not all at once. Maybe we should secure the cities outside of Kabul. Maybe we should make sure the president of Afghanistan doesn't flee with $169 million in a puppet government. Cut 74.
- [23:19]
George Stephanopoulos
So you don't think this could have been handled? This actually could have been handled better in any way, no mistakes? No, I don't think it could have been handled in a way that we're going to go back in hindsight and look, but the idea that somehow there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens.
- [23:40]
Charlie Kirk
We have a knock on wood foreign policy. It's a Biden knock on wood doctrine. We had the MAGA Doctrine with Donald Trump, the Reagan Doctrine, which was peace through strength, the Truman Doctrine, the Monroe Doctrine, and this will go down in history as the knock on wood doctrine. Cross your fingers. I hope it works out for you. A president is supposed to instill confidence in the American people, not hope the nation or wish the nation into peace and prosperity. This is a violation of his constitutional abilities. And I'm going to get to that. But I want you just to hear a little more tape as I build out this case. George Stephanopoulos, former spokesperson for Bill Clinton, says, well, we've seen Afghans Falling from the airplane. And Joe Biden says, come on, man, that was four days ago. It was two days ago. But does that really matter? See, to Joe Biden, time heals all wounds. It's not like we actually care about Afghans Falling from airplanes. Cut 75.
- [24:43]
George Stephanopoulos
But we've all seen the pictures. We've seen those hundreds of people packed into a C17. We've seen Afghans falling. That was four days ago. Five days ago.
- [24:52]
Charlie Kirk
As if that makes a difference. And it was two days ago, by the way. It wasn't four days ago. Illegal immigrants can walk into the United States without anyone stopping them, but US Citizens cannot get back home. So what's the proper response to this? Well, we knew Joe Biden's intentions. We knew the type of radical transformation he was engaged in. We also knew that he was not up to the job. And yet Republicans negotiated a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill anyway. I hope they're regretting that. You think they would negotiate that infrastructure package knowing that they know now? And that's why every Republican who wishes to stay in office needs to introduce articles of impeachment immediately and removal of office for Joe Biden. Now, some of you might say, well, Charlie, Kami's gonna be worse. Make them go through the process like Donald Trump did. Put him on defense. Get answers. It's time for us to start using political power against him. Now, the articles of impeachment might not succeed. Do it anyway. Introduce it. Make the case Joe Biden is not fit to be president, United States. It's time for him to resign. Long past time for him to resign. He better be careful with the I can't recall type stuff, because Kami, who is very anxious to become president, she is waiting for that 50% mark of the presidency to go, which then means she could serve another two terms if she doesn't serve more than 50% of the term. I had a constitutional scholar say this to me once. I'm a little doubtful of this. Connor can check it. But there is an argument to be made that if she serves less than 50% of the remaining term, she can serve another two terms. So it doesn't count as a full term. If I was Kami Kamala Harris, I would be working this 60% of the most diverse cabinet ever to start trying to invoke the 25th Amendment. When are Republicans gonna stop suing for peace like Neville Chamberlain and start taking this president as an existential threat to our nation, which is what he is. He is indifferent, knocking on wood while Americans are under duress and are on the verge of being held hostage in a foreign nation. And then Joe Biden says, I have his whole dialogue here with Stephanopoulos says, how about the threat to the United States? Most intelligence analysis has predicted Al Qaeda would come back 18 to 24 months after a withdrawal. Is that analysis now being revised? Could it be sooner? Biden says it could be, but George, look, here's the deal. Al Qaeda, isis, the they metastasize or they grow. He basically says, what's the big difference? What's the difference? And then Stephanopoulos says, are you confident we're gonna have that in Afghanistan? Biden says, yeah, I'm confident. Look, George, it's like asking me, you know, I'm confident that people are gonna act even remotely rationally. Here's the deal is the threat from Al Qaeda and their associate organizations is greater in other parts of the world to the United States than it is in Afghanistan. He is unfit to lead. Remove him, Republicans. I know you don't have the political power to do that yet, but at least say it. Draft the articles, go on television, make the case, put him on defense. Make him defend himself. He is unfit to serve. All right, you might be hearing a little crunch because I'm eating something that's really special. So we have a new partner here on the Charlie Kirk show and they're pretty awesome. They're called Uprising Foods. Now hear me out. 95% of Americans live in the fiber gap. Over nine in ten are deficient in fiber. Fiber is one of the most well studied nutrients of all time and is a bonafide superfood for most people. Until Uprising came along, it was nearly impossible to get all the fiber each day because it's literally impractical, completely impractical. To hit 30 grams each day, you have to have two full heads of broccoli. OK? These people made it simple to enjoy and hit your high fiber numbers. You want to push back against big Pharma, hit your fiber numbers. Everybody. They've cracked the code on healthy bread. So they send you a Rubik's cube of bread, okay? It's really interesting. Only two net carbs per serving. Six grams of protein, okay. And nine grams of fiber. If a biohacker and a high end farm market baker had a baby, it'd be Uprising Foods. Uprising Foods is where you can get your fiber supply every single day. And it's bigger than just a product. I can tell you right now, the guy that reps Uprising Foods, great guy. If anyone is excited as much as he's excited about this thing. I'm telling you something to get behind. So right now, if you're like Charlie, I don't get it. Okay, so here's how it works. I'm celiac. I'm allergic to gluten. This is literally all the protein and all the fiber you need. It comes to you as a Rubik's cube and they send it to you super fresh. Made in America. You don't have to go shopping for bread or any of that and actually tastes really good, but you get fiber. Having a high fiber diet can prevent against colon cancer and prostate issues, all sorts of stuff. And they have these chips that are really, really, really good. So here's what you do. You go to uprisingfood.com and use the code Kirk to get $10 off the starter bundle. It's kind of like a mini trip to the grocery store minus all the unhealthy distractions and they ship directly to your door. That's uprising food dot com. Use my promo code Kirk. It's literally fresh bread to you. Full of fiber for a full of protein. Uprising food.com promo code Kirk. How much money did we spend in Afghanistan? Open the books.com did a study. Do you know that we invested directly $82.9 billion in the Afghan Afghanistan security forces? Where did all that money go? Well, the Taliban would like to thank Joe Biden for his kind contribution of military aircraft and weaponry to the Taliban force. The Taliban has now taken possession of of sophisticated military equipment that Americans left behind. Helicopters, weapons. The really good stuff that we use, not just the B rate stuff that we give some of our allies. So $82.9 billion wasted. Vaporized. $8.9 billion at an anti narcotics campaign. Interesting. Why are we spending $8.9 billion in an anti narcotics campaign in Afghanistan when our own countrymen are overdosing from fentanyl and heroin? So why are we spending $8.9 billion through an anti narcotics campaign in a foreign country? We spent $1.5 billion for the US embassy. The embassy officials have lowered the American flag as the embassy was totally evacuated. And $157 million for construction and maintenance. Wonder where all that money went. We spent over $800 million on the Respect Women campaign. Yeah, that worked. Including $27 million from USAID. We spent $174 million on lost drones that we just never found again. $105 million on economic development so that the Taliban can have ice cream. Over $94.8 million on the American University of Afghanistan with, quote, the idea of implementing an American higher education model. The university has been disbanded and dismantled by the Taliban. We spent over $89 million in Afghan elections in USIAD grants to increase election participation. With the Taliban in control, there will be no elections. We spent $9.4 million to establish a Kabul carpet export center. The website and market is now defunct, but the success of the project is boasted on USAID and oh yeah. Women Police Compound. $3.1 million to build a compound to train 100 Afghan women and police officers. The compound had structural deficiencies and was never used. So $88.6 billion on security, $36.3 billion on governance and development, $4.2 billion on humanitarian aid, and $15.9 billion on agency operations. So how is it that everything collapsed so quickly? As I read from OpenTheBooks.com well, the cost of the war project in total, $2.3 trillion. But at least we have a United States American university. So the Taliban can have extra dormitories as they rule Kabul. This is a project designed and implemented by the Art of the Fail, a small group of people that run our nation, our military, our colleges that have never done anything successful in their life. They are more loyal to the diversity industrial complex than to their fellow countrymen. Quitting is winning. Didn't you know that? That's the new America we live in. Two plus two equals five. And if you disagree with us, you're a bigot and you're a racist. Mark Milley, Lloyd Austin, the other guy that's in charge. John Kirby, Joe Biden. What do they all have in common? No successes in their life and high positions of power. Telling you what to do and turning their back on Americans in their moment, at most need. It's time for Republicans to do something about it. Impeach and remove Joe Biden. Time to use your oversight capacity given to you in the United States Constitution. He has to go. A lot of people ask me, Charlie, how do you know so much about American history? The answer is not from school. As many of you know, I did not go to formal college. Actually, I didn't go to college at all. So my education has been a process. I've always been committed to learning and diving deep into ideas. And one source of truth and knowledge has been the greatest partner in that pursuit of learning, and that is Hillsdale College. American history and civics education. They're quite honestly at a turning point. And the Hillsdale 1776 curriculum, they are teaching the truth and they have downloadable curriculum for you and your children for free at k12 hillsdale.edu. that's k12 hillsdale.edu. and you could take online courses.

We're reading through Victor Davis Hanson's article. Victor Davis Hansen argues in this article that this is my favorite is that Biden claims that he was bound by the Trump decision. This is a big argument that Biden has been making that Biden was bound by the decision he must do it. But he's gone back on this and thus cannot be blamed for his reckless operation of a predetermined departure. But all Biden has done since entering office was to destroy Trump's pacts, overturning past agreements on energy leases, protocols with Latin America and Mexico on border security, the Abraham Accords and pipeline contracts. No sooner did Biden claim that he was a straitjacketed by Trump than he reversed course to defend not just his own withdrawal, but the disastrous manner of it. Victor Davis Hanson continues by saying later in the piece, in the aftermath of the Afghan debacle, we must depoliticize and de weaponize these warped agencies and incompetent institutions. We could get a symbolic start by pulling a security clearances from all retired operatives, officers and diplomats who go on television to offer Biden air support. To keep on saying this, you might say, well, what's the big difference? For that the retired and pensioned top brass who should finally be held account if they violate the tenets of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. When four stars lecture the nation that an elected president is Mussolini or Nazi like but keep silent during the greatest military setback in half a century, they should forfeit exemptions from their existing military codes. Biden himself, Victor Davis Hanson writes, has defied a Supreme Court ruling and assumed that it was a good thing to have broken the law under his watch. The fate of America's border, voter integrity, equal enforcement of laws, economy, energy, safety from crime, foreign policy and racial relations have imploded in seven months, no less, after the Kabul catastrophe. Even the bipartisan Senate might have well convicted him if he was a Republican, and both would have been right to do so. You see, for four years we were told that Donald Trump was mentally unstable, was incompetent, was the one that was going to bring America to foreign policy chaos. Did you know we did not lose a single American in Afghanistan the last 11 months of Trump's administration? He brought peace to the Middle east between Israel, uae, Buran, Bahrain and more. He brought different partners to the table while keeping Iran in check. He made China know very clear that they were our greatest enemy, put tariffs and sanctions on them, and stood courageously by Taiwan. What we have now is a complete and total reversal of that. And why is it that so few people are afraid to challenge this current regime? I want to play the entire clip. Tucker Carlson explains here how the ruling class manipulates you into what? Into doing what you want or doing what they want. By this Almost paralytic type tactic of calling you a racist. And you've seen this. I mean, I have opposed the Afghan refugee project for a variety of different reasons, citing Ilhan Omar as exhibit A. She is the mascot for the immigration moratorium. And yet Tucker Carlson explains this perfectly where he says that people stop in their tracks and agree immediately. If you just call them the R word, you call them a racist. It is the most powerful political weapon in America right now. Play cut 83.

Tucker Carlson
They know that calling you a racist is the fastest way to make you obey. Do we really need millions of Afghan refugees in Phoenix, you ask? Shut up, racist. Okay, go ahead and do it. That's how the process typically works.

Charlie Kirk
In fact, that's pretty much how it

Tucker Carlson
always works with everything. Now at this point, fighting racism is the universal justification for every bad idea. Tear down our statues. Okay? Stop teaching math. Okay? Get rid of standardized testing, alright? Defund the police. Move millions of Afghan refugees to swing states to help the Democratic Party. Okay? Oppose any of it and you're a racist. So in the end, it always happens. And in this case, it may happen, it probably will. But what happens then to us? How will this new wave of immigration affect America? Will America be a better country or will it be a little more like Afghanistan? Which is to say not really a better country.

Charlie Kirk
What country are we embracing and what are we heading towards? The dominant tactic used by the people in charge is to stifle disagreement and debate and dialogue by calling you names that immediately stop you in your tracks and make you reconsider your positions altogether or unwilling to fight on them in the first place. You disagree, you get called the R word. Didn't you know this is the most diverse administration in American history. It doesn't matter if they're incompetent. It doesn't matter if they don't care about Americans. They look different. That's progress. It doesn't matter if we have generals that are overweight. It doesn't matter if we have men that are that are pretend to be women as head of the Health and Human Services System Secretary or the Assistant Secretary. Doesn't matter. It's diverse. That's our strength, bigot. If you disagree, we'll come after you. National Public Radio, the taxpayer funded propaganda arm of the failure class. The diversity industrial complex as we've been calling it. I just, I was reading this article about booster shots and we've been going through it. I love the new way they're wording this. It says it's an FAQ style. If we need boosters soon. Does this mean I'm no longer safe after just two doses? And NPR says no. Anyone who is fully vaccinated is still very well protected from getting seriously ill. You see that, Mikey? They've changed that. It's no longer very well protected. It's very well protected from getting serious ill, seriously ill. That's a word game. How much money do you think the pharmaceutical companies have made? And if it works so well, then why do you need a booster shot? They're priced around $20 billion a dose. But Pfizer expects the sales of the vaccine it developed with Biontech to total about $15 billion by the end of this year, with a profit Margin of nearly 30%. $20 a dose, $20 a dose, they make $15 billion. Margin of 30%. Sorry, a lot of numbers. Despite being priced at less than $20 a dose, they're making $15 billion with a margin of 30%. And we're still dealing with experimental vaccines, everybody. Big Pharma has higher profit margins than any other industry. Here's just a really interesting question. Why is our entire investigative media seemingly uninterested in investigating Big Pharma, like Scott Gottlieb that we broke on our own show with the most simple kind of analysis of investigation? You know what the investigation was? Looking at his Twitter bio as he was recommending booster shots, masks, and lockdowns showing that he is a former Pfizer employee and sits on the board and works for a private equity firm that's highly invested in vaccinations and development of drugs. Pretty simple. Why should we take that guy seriously? Glaxo famously illegally marketed antidepressants to kids under 18 and raked in $27.5 billion, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Not to mention the grant revenue from the federal government that has been underwriting this. I thought Democrats didn't like Big Pharma. I thought Democrats didn't want to see the rich become richer. The executives of these companies are making record profits. Big Pharma has now asked Congress for another $10 billion to spend on this. From Forbes.com the amounts of money were the kinds of sums normally seen in smaller defense budget line items. Like, this is the money that we would go spend on sexual reassignment surgery in Kabul, right? This is the type of money that we would spend on hot dog stands in the Afghanistan desert. This is the type of money we would spend on electric charging vehicle stations in Kandahar. Kind of get the point. Or the type of money that we should be spending on evacuating Americans out of Afghanistan. But we cut that budget $2.5 billion to Moderna, 1.2 billion to AstraZeneca, half a billion dollars to Johnson Johnson, and $1.6 billion to a small company called Novavax. Only Pfizer opted out by ponying up to the trough. The trough. At first, according to Forbes.com, it didn't want to devote resources to coordinating with the U.S. government on its work. But then Pfizer signed a $1.95 billion deal to sell 100 million doses of its two shot vaccine to the United States. Enough for 50 million people. And the CEOs of these companies are raking it in. The co founder of biointech, Aslam Terceri and Ugur Sahin are now both multi billionaires. They're getting rich mandating vaccines to you and your children that now have questionable results, being pushed by our government to now get booster shots. And they're now saying you can't go to restaurants in New York City if you don't get this ever questionable vaccine. Why is that? You see, for years we were lectured by the Democrats about the military industrial complex, that invading countries was a good profit model. You have to keep on dropping missiles, dropping bombs, building bridges, and then the lobbyists and the people associated get rich off of that model. It's the same with the pharmaceutical industry and the forced vaccination industry. People are getting rich and they're not getting healthier. Look, we all complain about the woke industrial complex, the woke Marxists that are running our schools, that are running media and yes, also running are banks. You see, look, the real estate market, it's red hot. Tyler, he just sold his home and he said, charlie, I've never seen the market so unbelievable. So maybe you want to go buy a home. Maybe they're taking advantage of low interest rates. With all the economic uncertainty underway, people need to invest in real stuff. So here's a rule of thumb. We here are a solution based show. So if you don't like the woke nonsense, stop using the woke banks. It's that simple. No more Wells Fargo, no more JP Morgan, no more Goldman Sachs, no more big bank culture. Instead I have these two great friends and they do a great job. It's Andrew and Todd. Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian. They love the Lord. They are Christians, they are honest, they are straight shooters and they are on a mission to make sure that you guys can refinance but be told the truth. Look, when I took out Mortgages for the properties that I have. It was one of the worst experiences I've ever been through. Yeah, some of the people were very nice, but I could tell you the bank itself was just so bureaucratic and hard to work with. My producer, Andrew, is working right now with Andrew and Todd to fight against the woke banking culture. And he tells me that they're part counselors, part financial counselors, planners, and they're really helping him. So here's the thing. Andrew and Todd are mortgage bankers. They're not brokers. That means Andrew and Todd and their team can take care of your loan personally from start to finish. You'll likely actually talk to Andrew and Todd yourself. So right now, maybe you're walking or you're like, I want to refinance the home, or maybe I'm under the process. Stop it. No more Wells Fargo. They're funding a billion dollars to BLM Incorporated. Drives me nuts. Bank of America shut off a U.S. senate candidate running, who's running in Senate in Delaware. Just shut off their bank account instead. Let's support the good guys. I know a lot of you right now say, charlie, I want to support the good guys. Let's do it together. Okay, so here's how you do it. Go to andrewandtod.com that's pretty easy to remember, right? Andrew Todd. Andrewandtod.com or call 888-88-1172. That's Triple 8, Triple 8, 1172. And say, Hey, I want to talk to Andrew and Todd. Charlie Kirk told me to call. In fact, I just had this unbelievable meeting with them. We talked theology, we talk the church. They're conservative. They're unbelievable. And all you have to do is call them up. Just go to andrewandtod.com, call 888-88-1172. That's 888-1172 and say, Andrew or Todd, I would like to speak to you. Charlie Kirk sent me, and I'm telling you, you'll probably get them on the phone. Unless they're traveling or handling some crisis, they take a lot of the phone calls themselves. Great people. Andrewandtod.com no more woke banks. Let's work together to crush the back of woke Wall street and support the good guys. Andrewandtod.com what happened on July 28? Can you guys think of anything that happened on July 28? On July 28, there was a news story that didn't get a lot of coverage. It's kind of glossed over, but the details of what happened on July 28 are critical to know what just happened in Kabul, Afghanistan. Remember, we are dealing with the true enemy here. It's not the 5th century goat herding perverts of the Taliban. It's the sophisticated, billion plus soulless, godless, atheistic, militaristic, anti American, Nazi like regime that is the Communist Chinese party or the Chinese Communist Party. On July 28, did you know that China met with the Taliban? For the Wall Street Journal, China's Foreign Minister urged the Taliban to distance itself from terrorist groups and to take steps to establish peace in Afghanistan. In a meeting with the groups on Chinese soil that signaled Beijing is stepping up its diplomatic efforts as US withdraws from the country. At the session with the Taliban, co founder and political chief Mullah Abdul Ghani. So they had the top of the Taliban there. Foreign Minister Wang Xi called Taliban a pivotal military and political force. Mr. Wang asked all factions in Afghanistan to make progress on reconciliation and establish a broad and inclusive structure without detailing what might look like. So anything that comes out of the mouth of a Chinese Communist Party leader is by definition a lie. These are serpents and snakes that know how to manipulate people through language. Truth is not a Chinese Communist Party value different than the people of China, but the gangsters that are running China. So what did they actually say on July 28th with the Taliban? What did they collude to do? What were they meeting about? Were their funds transfers transferred strategies, shared plans that were previewed? What happened? Was the American government aware of this? Well now breaking 48 hours ago, NPR five days ago and they just updated it 48 hours ago. China embraces Taliban eyeing own interest. Oh, so they have a diplomatic meeting on July 28. Taliban takes over the country in 11 days and now China announces that they are allies with the Taliban. Was China behind all of this? Was the Chinese Communist Party behind what the Taliban was just able to pull off through intelligence, reconnaissance, satellite technology, payments that maybe the Afghan government received via the Taliban from the Chinese Communist Party? What is the involvement of our greatest enemy in the fall of Afghanistan? Did China want to push a war game against America to see what what we were willing to do against Taiwan? Did China want to push us into a state of chaos so they can manipulate us more through the state run media enterprises? These are legitimate questions to ask. And another legitimate question to ask is what is the Taliban now going to do with all of our abandoned weaponry? Now the simple question is well, they're going to use it. No, these are 5th century merchants. Remember we're dealing with goat Herding perverts here. Don't expect them to go be flying helicopters all over the place. They're going to sell it. Not sell it for use, sell it for scrap to be scrapped and studied. So our best helicopters, our best drones were left behind, abandoned Afghanistan. So the Taliban will go play Marco Polo. They'll call up Mr. Wang or Mr. Kalashnikov, whatever from Russia and say, here's the price. If you want all of this beautiful technology they left behind, go and study it. All of our military fighting machines are now going to be on the open market for our enemies. Joe Biden has to answer for that. Joe Biden has to answer for now our enemies can just buy our weapons lock, stock and barrel, not just to use them, but to know how to defeat them. To know how if they encounter one of our helicopters where the weak points are to know that if they're in caught in crossfire with one of our mounted machine guns, what its capacities are to know how to bring down our drones. When you pull out recklessly and don't destroy the weaponry and don't take care of your citizens, you create vacuums of chaos. Now some people are saying, well, Joe Biden didn't know any better. There's no decisions that he made that could have led to this. Well, an exclusive story from this TheNationalPulse.com says otherwise. Joe Biden's State Department moved to cancel a critical State Department program that was aimed at providing swift and safe evacuations of Americans out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul. The Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau, which was solely designed to handle medical and diplomatic and logistical support concerning Americans overseas, was paused by the Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken. This is worse than Benghazi, by the way. And we spent years talking about four Americans abandoned in Benghazi when it was blamed on a videotape as Hillary Clinton lied to the families as they came back to America and support was not given to the heroes of Benghazi. We were told that was a. We knew that was a big story. This is a thousand Benghazi. A memo that says sensitive but unclassified. An official State Department document from the Biden State Department starts to outline the quash of the Trump era funding for the new bureau. The document is from the Deputy Secretary of the State department, Brian P. McKinnon McKeon confirmed in March by the United States Senate, saying that he approves the discontinuation of the establishment and termination of the Crisis Command Response Bureau. Joe Biden's administration has now made it nearly impossible to get Americans out of this country. We are now being told by Loy Austin we don't have the capacity do that. By Mark Milley. Nothing we can do. The document reveals that the recommendations were approved on June 11. These are impeachable offenses, by the way. Quote, my administration prioritized keeping Americans safe. Biden leaves them behind. Canceling the successful Trump administration program before the withdrawal that could have helped to tens of thousands of Americans reach home is beyond disgraceful. Our withdrawal was conditions based and perfect is what President Trump said. The Biden execution and withdrawal is perhaps the greatest embarrassment to our country in history, both as a military and humanitarian operation. The State Department is not confirming or denying any of this, but we have the documents to show this. As we mentioned yesterday, the Biden State Department issued a humiliating statement and scary statement to Americans that were still in Afghanistan. US Citizens wanting assistance in departing the country should register for any option that might be identified to return to the United States. Do not call the US Embassy in Kabul for details or updates. This form is the only way to communicate interest in flight options. There is a moral and legal responsibility. Joe Biden had to decouple us from Afghanistan with just a little bit of wisdom. Instead, we are doing this. We have done this in a way that has jeopardized our national security, our technology, our military technology and so much more. I want to get to a sound here. So Joe Biden right now should be threatening the Taliban. Joe Biden should be saying, I'm going to bomb your village to the ground if you touch an American. Who is Joe Biden threatening right now? Is Joe Biden threatening China? Don't touch Taiwan. Is he threatening North Korea? Don't send nukes. Is he threatening Venezuela? Don't kill your citizens. Is he threatening Cuba? Don't imprison dissidents. No. Joe Biden is declaring domestic war on Ron DeSantis. Joe Biden while Americans are abandoned in Kabul in cut 86. Get it ready. He said we're not going to sit by his governors, try to block and intimidate educators for protecting our children. Excuse me, Joe Biden, while you are overseeing the fall of Saigon, an Iran hostage crisis equivalent and a Dunkirk moment. You're declaring war on Ron DeSantis because he says that parents should be able to choose whether or not children wear face masks, which is child abuse. Have you ever seen a president so brazenly want to declare domestic conflict against people he is tasked with overseeing? Play cut 86.

George Stephanopoulos
You know, we're not going to sit by as governors try to block and intimidate educators protecting our children. For example, if a governor wants to cut the pay of a hard working education leader who requires masks in a classroom, the money from the American rescue plan can be used to pay that person's salary 100%.

Charlie Kirk
We are not going to sit idly by. He is now calling out Ron DeSantis. Even though young children at school are at nearly zero risk at all from contracting and dying from the Chinese coronavirus. Joe Biden is not declaring war on the Taliban. He wants the Taliban to come into the international community. In fact, we have that tape somewhere where Jen Pisaki says, well, we really hope that the Taliban will come into the international community. Cut 22 is close to this. Tony Blinken. If the Taliban aren't sustaining the basic rights of the Afghan people, we wouldn't legitimize their government already talking like they've taken over the entire country. And before we play that tape, I do want to say this. If you go into the interview with George Stephanopoulos, Joe Biden said this country would fall apart in less than six months. He's like, oh yeah, we knew by the end of the year the Taliban would be in control. So there was an inevitability that the Taliban would take over. Why did he lie about that? Someone has to start holding this man accountable and the people around him and the cartel and the cabal that he represents. Because yeah, it's all fun and games while he's destroying the Keystone XL pipeline and keeping the border open. Now that American blood is about to be spilled because of him, there needs to be a check and balance on that. Joe Biden and his administration are more worried about Ron DeSantis and the Taliban. What does that tell you about the state of our country, the current regime? The Biden regime is spending more time slamming Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott than people that have put Americans lives at stake in jeopardy and still are doing that right now. What does Jen Pisaki have to say about the Taliban? She says, well, they have to make an assessment about whether they want to be in the international community. She doesn't speak that nicely about Ron DeSantis. If you can't speak harshly about the Taliban that doesn't even have an air force, how can you speak this way against a fellow American? Placot97 the Taliban also has to make an assessment about what they want their

Charlie Kirk
Now a lot of people are asking me the question Charlie, who's really in charge here? Who's the person calling the shots? Well, the boy king, who might be Fidel Castro's son. I'm kidding. Certainly looks like him. Who is the ultimate kind of culmination of metrosexual culture in the west, of a man who, no matter how far you search, no matter how deep you go, no matter how hard you look, there is no testosterone in this entire man. Zero. I think he only was able to grow facial hair as an act of surgical implantation. Justin Trudeau, the boy king who became emperor of the nice people in Canada. Such a joke. He said, it's really interesting. They asked about Afghanistan. He said, well, I consulted with Hillary Clinton about Afghanistan. What? Why would you. First of all, why would you call Hillary Clinton about anything foreign policy related? She oversaw the fall of Libya. She was in favor of the Iraq war. She takes money from every foreign adversary you can imagine. The fact you're even dialogue with Hillary Clinton is like, what are you doing talking to Hillary Clinton? And then also just kind of more immediately, not to mention what happened in Benghazi. What does Hillary Clinton have to do with what's happening now? Is Hillary Clinton calling some shots in the White house? Play Cut 91.

George Stephanopoulos
I also spoke last night with former U.S. secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who shares our concern for Afghan women and girls. She welcomed our efforts and urged Canada to continue our work. Governments, international organizations and civil society must continue to work together to support women and girls in Afghanistan.
- [66:09]
Charlie Kirk
Why Hillary Clinton? It's really strange. There's one other tape here I want to get to, which is a lot of people say, charlie, who is to blame for this? Now, we could blame a lot of insurgent institutions, but we also must look at ourselves, people like Elon Omar and the hatred for America. It was actually inculcated and actually brought by our own institutions. Cut 88. America is very good at teaching people to hate their home. Cut 88.
- [66:40]
Tucker Carlson
So the obvious response to that is attack poor Ilhan Omar. But we're not going to do that. The truth is, this is our fault. She is our fault. Ilhan Omar is living proof that we are not very good at resettling refugees. She was saved from a refugee camp in Kenya as a child by the kindness and generosity of America. And yet she has grown to hate America and the people who live here. Where did she learn those attitudes? Well, of course, in college, our colleges, we taught her to hate our country. She became worse after she got here.
- [67:11]
Charlie Kirk
And that's what will happen to the 30, potentially happen to 30,000 plus new refugee resettlement program sponsored by our own government. Because you can know when planes are taken off from Kabul. Right now, Americans get the shaft. Out of 2000 people that come, 300 were Americans, 1700 people were foreigners on our planes. That's not putting America first. What does Joe Biden do? He knocks on wood, says, I hope it gets better. Hope is not a strategy. Incompetence does not instill confidence in the future of our nation or our country. I'm going to end this hour like I do many hours. Republicans, your voters are pleading with you to please start fighting for your nation, start standing up for their values and holding these people in check. Time is dramatically running out. Also, keep your prayers going for the people in Afghan, in Kabul and Afghanistan. It's not going to get any better because of something that our government is doing. Unfortunately, it is, it is a very sad state of affairs. Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
