I mean, it's crazy every day here. All right, we've got a lot to talk about. I released an emergency podcast last night. I did an interview with a couple of people. One is a marine and his wife. It's an amazing story about something that happened in Afghanistan but is now directly affecting their families. It is an incredible story that you need to hear because action needs to be taken in the next week or so.

Stories that will gnaw at the back of your mind because they force you to confront something that you don't want to believe about the world or your country or yourself. This is one of those stories and it begins deep in the night in Afghanistan. It's outside of a terrorist compound bristling with weapons, teeming with men who have sworn their lives to destruction. This is important to point out here. These are not the peaceful farmers that if you read about this story anywhere in the coming days, the media will have you believe they were just farmers. They weren't. This was a well planned operation. These were trained killers, men who had pledged themselves to jihad. Foreign fighters in a country where, according to our government, there weren't supposed to be any foreign fighters. But we knew there were. A group of some of our most elite Army Rangers. They're there in the dark outside of this compound. And with precision and silence, they close in. The mission is clear. Neutralize the threat. They have all kinds of intel, but they're missing one important piece of intel and that's what is inside of this compound. Something they never expected and really at the beginning didn't know how to deal with it. They kicked down the door and there is a foreign Al Qaeda fighter who is holding two things. In one hand he has his AK automatic rifle. And in his other hand he is holding a newborn six week old baby. As the Rangers enter, he lifts the gun and he fires at them. They fire back. He turns and runs and ducks into another room. Our guys come in. They are. There's gunfire being exchanged. He then begins. He throws a grenade. One of our Rangers protects his animal, his dog. He's the closest to the grenade. For some reason he is safe. But others are badly injured on our side. And they throw a grenade in. Grenade. Gunfire. Gunfire between the two rooms. Finally, everything goes quiet. They go into the next room and they find two things. One, they find the Taliban soldier dead or Al Qaeda fighter dead. The other thing that they find is not the baby. They find a passageway into other rooms of this compound. The baby's gone, but they think maybe she didn't even exist. Maybe it was a trick of the light or the eye in the haste. So they go down the next corridor and they have to fight their way through. There are at least a dozen committed Taliban fighters and they go through killing perhaps a dozen bad guys. We take casualties as well. Finally they reach what they hope is the last room, one last room in the compound. As they come around the corner, they see a young mom. She's maybe a teenager. She is standing with her back against the wall and she is holding the baby. What do they do? They begin to enter the room and she begins to move towards them and they are shouting, stay where you are. Stay where you are. Don't move. Stay where you are. She continues to approach and that's when they see not only is she holding a baby, she's wearing a suicide vest. And she blows herself up. Fire. Dust engulfs the room. When it clears and our soldiers can still barely hear from the impact of the explosion, the woman is gone. Her body has been torn apart. But there in the dirt a few feet away from her is the baby. Barely alive. She has a tiny, broken, six weeks old, tiny broken body. Her leg is shattered. We find out later she's has a concussion, very, very bad. Then when they think it's all over, another shot rings out. This one is coming from an Afghan soldier on our side. He's standing just a few feet away and he raises his rifle again. He's going to finish what the mom started. He's going to kill the baby. Now our Afghan allies are screaming at us and we're screaming at them. Americans don't want this baby killed. They argue back and forth with our Afghani allies. They insist the baby has to be killed. They will, they will shoot her. They have to shoot her. If not, they'll take her to the river to be drowned. But she must die because she'll grow up, up to be another generation of terrorists. And they say we will face her later. You've got to kill the child. But Americans don't think that way. All life is sacred. It's why we offer life saving medicine to those who were just trying to kill us. It's the way of the west, it's the way of America. But they refuse to hand her over. They're not going to let this baby die. So with gunfire still ringing in the distance, the Army Rangers do something extraordinary, something that we don't know had been done before. They don't, don't just complete their mission. They save a baby's life. So now here's the baby in camp. Broken, orphaned, abandoned. She'll later be called Sparrow by one of the Marines. They take Sparrow to the Craig Joint Theater Hospital in Bagram Airfield. She's care for, she's protected. For over five months, she's in the hospital. American service members, men and women who had seen death a thousand times over, have become her family. The doctors and the nurses, they hold her, they feed her, they pray over her. The nurses and doctors nickname this little girl Starfish, after the little story about the boy who was picking up starfish and throwing them into the ocean. And a guy comes up to him and says, why are you doing that? Look how many starfish are on the beach. You'll never save all of them. And he says, no, but it matters to this one. I can save this one. That's how passionately the Americans felt about this baby. She's starfish. In that time, a Marine named Joshua Mast, he's walking with his superior officer. And the superior officer says, what are we going to do with this baby? Joshua didn't know about the baby, but he's a man who has fought his whole life for justice. And as he starts looking into this little girl, it's. She becomes more than an orphan casualty of war. He saw hope through her, as did dozens of others who fight our battles and then save lives afterward. They all saw this baby and this life worth saving, but no parents left. They were killed in the battle. He eventually goes to the Department of Defense and says, somebody's got to kill the. Somebody has got to save this baby. Somebody's got to adopt or at least be able to be the legal guardian. So he begins the process with his wife to become the leading guardian, to pay for all the medicine, to make sure that she has a name, that she has paperwork, and they start the process to adopt her. That should be the end of the story. Adoption. She comes to the United States. She's now a family of five, and she's loved. And that's it. That's the way this story should have ended. Rather than a child who is left to die on the battlefield, the baby's given a second chance. But that's not the story. Because this little girl, this one child, has threatened the United States government and the Taliban. This threatens to unravel an international lie. Now we know what our government was like in Afghanistan. We now know how many lies they have been covering up. Wait until you hear this one. I'll give it to you here in just a second. If you're dealing with pain in your life, you know that the thing it loves best is to overstay its welcome. Whether it's mild or severe, it's here and it wants to stay. I had horrible pain in my hands and my arms for a long, long time. And I mean everything I did, I had to say, am I going to pay for this? Well, at. At last my wife convinced me to try. Relief factor.

So what happens to this little baby adopted as an American now living in Virginia. Well, the United States government, our government had signed a peace agreement with the Taliban. And part of that deal, a crucial stipulation, was that there were no foreign fighters in Afghanistan. None. But that wasn't true. Another lie from the Taliban. How do we know? Because our rangers went in and killed foreign fighters. They were Al Qaeda fighters from another country. Just another lie from the Taliban. So this young girl who has now been nicknamed Sparrow, her mere existence, her DNA, her survival, was proof of a lie that could unravel everything. So the State Department did what governments do when truth becomes inconvenient. They just tried to erase it and erase her. In 2020, bureaucrats safe in their office, thousands of miles from the battlefield stepped in. They ignored the orders from the Department of Defense, they ignored the courts, they ignored the men and women who had been there and who had seen what happened. And they handed Sparrow, our State Department handed Sparrow over to an elderly Afghani man with no DNA testing or proof of relation whatsoever. No legal claim, no proper venting vetting. A man that we later find out is connected directly to the Taliban. He said that she had been taken by the US Troops after they killed his farmer family for no reason in the middle of the night. And he just wanted his little grandchild back. So our State Department, because it was convenient, because they didn't want to upset any apple cart, and the Taliban needed her to be dead, our State Department abandoned her. And they expected our Marine Joshua Mast and his wife to do exactly the same thing. But he didn't. Because unlike the government, unlike the bureaucrats, he didn't see this little baby as a diplomatic inconvenience. His. He and his wife and his family grew to see her as a daughter, as a sister. And when Afghanistan collapsed, when the Taliban stormed back into power and the world watched in horror as people were clinging to landing gear of C17s, desperate to escape, Joshua Mass did the unthinkable. He rescued her. Mercury One was part of this rescue. He found Sparrow and he got her out. But once again, he didn't save just one life because he didn't know about the connections. He helped the very people who had taken Sparrow from him. They said, she's staying with us unless we can go. So he went to the Pentagon, he went to the Department of Defense, did everything he was supposed to do, and he got the Afghan couple. With these very loose claims to the child and no DNA testing, they were air airlifted right alongside her. They were safe, alive in America. But unbeknownst to Mass, her new guardians had another name for Sparrow. Lottery ticket. She's our lottery ticket to America. This is all happening in the chaotic days of the Afghan withdrawal. And Mass said he would help the two out if he could. If. If they could pass the screening. They agreed that should have been the end of it. But it wasn't. Because the new dad, once on the ground in America, was found to be on the terror watch list. Now, our government had two problems. DNA proof that foreign fighters were part of a battle which would collapse a peace deal. And the Taliban needed to stop it from coming out. And on our side, we just had airlifted a known terrorist and released him into the population of Texas. Both sides needed to get away from this. Sparrow's life wasn't worth all the bad publicity or the threat that the peace deal could fall through, or that Biden simply took the words of the Taliban or had transported somebody who was on the terror watch list. Now, the very people who Mast had tried to innocently save had turned against him. Now, the Texas Company couple was suing them, claiming that he had kidnapped Sparrow. And you'll never guess who comes in to defend the couple. Hunter Biden's law firm. Let that sink in for a minute. A Marine, a man who fought for this country, who saved a child, now being dragged through the mud by a legal machine that has defended terrorists at Guantanamo Bay and the same people that represented Hunter Biden. Here's the part that should terrify every single American. The federal government for the last four years has been backing them. Not the mask. They have wiped John Doe's name out from the terror watch list. It just disappeared. They've suppressed evidence. They buried mission reports, they silenced whistleblowers. They made sure that that mission remained classified until recently. Why? Because they just needed this to go away. If Sparrow's allowed to stay with the only family she's ever known, if the truth comes out about who her parents really were, it will expose the broken adoption system, but also a massive international cover up where our administration is on the side of the Taliban.
