FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

all right folks you know i missed her in

0:01

the middle here i just want to know that

0:04

our government actually has somewhat of

0:07

a clue and this is frustrating me this

0:10

is not a left or right political video

0:12

this is talk about afghanistan straight

0:15

talk and why is it that reuters just got

0:18

two leaked audio tapes and transcripts

0:22

one between biden and uh the president

0:25

and then president of afghanistan and

0:27

then another one between commander

0:28

mckenzie and others why is it that in

0:31

these calls

0:32

the united states government seems

0:34

completely unaware

0:36

of the potential collapse of afghanistan

0:39

and instead of actually talking about

0:41

physical military support

0:43

we're talking about hey um ghani you got

0:46

to work on your perception

0:48

yes i kid you not this is not hyperbole

0:52

let's take a look at the document itself

0:54

or the report itself rather this is from

0:56

reuters i published today take a look at

0:58

this here

1:00

we have a an introductory paragraph

1:02

where reuters says in the last call

1:04

between president biden and gani in the

1:07

last call

1:08

neither gani nor biden appeared aware

1:13

or prepared for the immediate danger of

1:16

the entire country falling to insurgents

1:19

reuters says this reuters is a very high

1:22

fact

1:24

media source uh they are a newswire

1:26

service now i'm not trying to elevate

1:28

them to say they can't be wrong but this

1:30

is different from like a fox or scene

1:33

okay and i'm also not trying to diss

1:34

them but let's be real

1:36

this well let's just keep going you can

1:38

draw your own conclusions okay the

1:40

president spoke for about 14 minutes on

1:42

july 23rd that's about three weeks

1:44

before ghani fled the presidential

1:46

palace when the taliban took over kabul

1:50

reuters reviewed the transcript and uh

1:52

listened to audio to authenticate the

1:54

conversation in the call biden offered a

1:57

tagani if

1:59

it's literally

2:00

if

2:01

ghani could publicly project he had a

2:03

plan to control the spiraling situation

2:05

in afghanistan so hey hey we'll help you

2:08

out we'll send in some more air support

2:11

but you better make sure the people know

2:14

you're wearing the pants

2:16

that's a very awkward kind of

2:18

conversation right before an entire

2:19

country is about to collapse

2:21

like really right before country's going

2:23

to collapse you'd have a conversation

2:25

about better project that you the boss

2:28

that's not good three weeks before

2:29

collapse

2:31

quote we will continue to provide close

2:33

air support if we know what the plan is

2:36

biden said

2:38

you're telling me three weeks before

2:40

afghanistan collapsed

2:42

there was no plan

2:44

on either side apparently that either

2:46

side was just completely clueless

2:48

very odd very very very odd the u.s

2:51

president then advised ghani to get a

2:53

buy-in from powerful afghan uh forces

2:56

and and military strategists in other

2:59

words put a warrior in charge of the

3:01

effort to make the country feel more

3:04

powerful and united joe biden three

3:07

weeks before the collapse said you

3:10

clearly have the best military you have

3:13

300 000 well-armed forces versus 70 to

3:17

80 000 taliban and clearly the 300 000

3:21

are

3:22

well actually it says and they the 300

3:24

000 are clearly capable of fighting well

3:28

days later

3:30

the afghan military started folding

3:32

across provincial capitals in the

3:33

country with little fight

3:36

against the taliban

3:37

this is embarrassing phone call

3:39

in much of the call biden focused on

3:42

what he called the afghan government's

3:44

perception problem quote

3:47

i need not tell you the perception

3:50

around the world and in parts of

3:52

afghanistan i believe

3:54

is that things are not going well in

3:57

terms of the fight against the taliban

3:59

really three weeks before the collapse

4:01

it appears things are not going well and

4:03

there is no plan there is no plan

4:07

this is scary

4:09

this is the united states of america

4:11

here i am thinking our country whether

4:14

you are a democrat or republican has our

4:16

back what happened

4:20

i want to know what happened because

4:21

this is a disaster i mean we know

4:24

what

4:24

what happened but i'm talking about like

4:26

why the details right stuff like this

4:30

because this is just more of a sign of

4:31

cluelessness of our government

4:33

everyone in the government i'm not

4:34

trying to make this like an anti-biden

4:36

thing to everyone you know biden

4:39

to some degree is reliant heavily on

4:41

whatever information he's given

4:44

biden told ghani that if afghanistan's

4:46

prominent political figures were to give

4:48

a press conference together backing a

4:51

new military strategy quote that will

4:53

change perception and that will change

4:55

an awful lot i think

4:58

the american leader's words indicated he

5:00

didn't anticipate a massive insurrection

5:02

and collapse to come 23 days later we're

5:05

going to continue to fight hard so on

5:06

and so forth white house declined to

5:08

comment after the call white house

5:09

released a statement saying we're going

5:10

to continue to support afghanistan

5:13

ghani told biden he believed there could

5:15

be peace if he could rebalance the

5:17

military solution but we need to move

5:19

his speed in other words

5:21

gandhi was saying i don't have a plan

5:23

and biden's saying you need to come up

5:25

with a plan

5:26

and he's like i don't got one i got 300

5:29

000 people with guns but no plan

5:34

and so then we get suggestions from the

5:36

united states government well well maybe

5:38

you need to put a warrior in charge yeah

5:40

you know build that reception put a

5:42

warrior you know what have a press

5:44

conference

5:46

come on man

5:49

i don't i don't understand again uh this

5:51

this is a i'm expressing this

5:53

frustration as an american okay i i want

5:56

to believe in american exceptionalism in

5:59

the power of our our coordinated

6:02

military uh i honor all of those who

6:05

serve our country

6:07

uh those who who give their lives

6:10

for our safety and security

6:12

but this is what's going on at the top

6:15

come on man

6:17

i already used that one

6:19

anyway uh yeah okay uh then there's you

6:22

know ghani's trying to blame basically

6:24

uh people from pakistan coming over the

6:27

pakistan embassy denies this reuter

6:29

tried to uh reach out reuters tried to

6:32

reach out to ghani he didn't get a

6:33

response

6:35

talk a little bit more about background

6:36

here afghanistan was promising a shift

6:39

in its military strategy to start

6:41

focusing on protecting population

6:43

centers major cities rather than fight

6:46

to protect rural territories biden

6:47

referred

6:48

approvingly of that strategy he said

6:51

that doing so would help not just on the

6:54

ground but in the

6:56

perception internationally that was

6:59

required to shore up world support for

7:02

the afghan government

7:04

so in other words it sounds to me like

7:07

biden was kind of conditioning

7:09

more support

7:11

on gani actually running an efficient

7:14

government but this is to me a little

7:16

bit of i feel like a chicken or egg

7:18

problem how can your government in

7:20

afghanistan feel more stable

7:22

if you don't have the proper support

7:24

like you're really wobbly or like i need

7:26

help but then the person with the help

7:28

is like i can see you're wobbling but

7:31

you know before i give you any help i

7:32

need to see that you're stable and

7:34

you're like uh you know we got some

7:36

problems here

7:36

[Music]

7:38

i i'm laughing because of the

7:40

ridiculousness of the analogy not of the

7:42

disaster that's going on because my

7:44

heart literally goes out not just to

7:46

those who have lost their lives

7:48

but the

7:49

families that are broken the the men and

7:51

women children especially the women and

7:53

children uh the students uh it's it's

7:56

disgusting but continuing on

7:59

quote i'm not a military guy so i'm not

8:01

telling you what a plan precisely should

8:04

look like

8:05

you're going to get not only more help

8:07

but you're going to get a perception

8:09

that is going to change biden said

8:13

okay

8:14

gani for his part assured biden that

8:16

your assurance of support goes a very

8:18

long way to enable us to really mobilize

8:21

us in earnest okay the wording here is

8:24

really bothering me because you know

8:26

we're getting a lot of like i think this

8:29

is going to help this will improve the

8:31

looks of things

8:33

and hey your assurance of support feels

8:36

good

8:37

like

8:38

what kind of conversation is this

8:42

so i gotta chill out

8:44

a little over two weeks after biden's

8:46

call with gani the taliban captured

8:48

several provincial

8:50

afghan capitals and the united states

8:52

said it was up to afghan security forces

8:54

to defend the country

8:56

quote

8:57

these are their military forces these

8:59

are their provincial capitals

9:00

their people to defend the pentagon

9:02

spokesperson said well okay

9:05

so much for that support

9:07

august 11th u.s intelligence reports

9:10

indicate taliban fighters could isolate

9:12

afghanistan's capital in 30 days and

9:14

take it over within 90 the fall happened

9:16

in less than a week

9:18

there was a second call

9:20

oh this was interesting by the way this

9:22

right here uh biden asked uh gani to get

9:26

the former president muhammad karzai on

9:29

the phone but ghani said karzai would

9:31

not be helpful he is contrary and time

9:34

is of the essence we cannot bring every

9:36

single individual presumably on the

9:38

phone

9:39

we've tried for months with karzai last

9:42

time we met for almost two hours and he

9:44

was cursing me out and was accusing me

9:46

of being a u.s lackey to which biden

9:49

said i'm gonna reserve judgment on that

9:51

then there was a second call between uh

9:53

general uh millie and commander

9:56

mackenzie they spoke with ghani in this

9:59

call also

10:01

on that same day

10:03

the area of focus was not on actual

10:06

things happening

10:07

like hey we're going to work on strikes

10:10

in this area let's work on protecting

10:11

this area let's get a you know

10:14

contingent of troops over here let's get

10:16

tanks mobilized there none of that

10:18

these are the generals

10:20

okay the generals of the united states

10:22

military talking to the president now of

10:25

afghanistan or the former president

10:27

saying quote the perception in the

10:29

united states and in europe and the

10:30

media sort of thing is a narrative of

10:34

taliban momentum and a narrative of

10:36

taliban victory and we need to

10:38

collectively demonstrate and try to turn

10:40

that perception

10:42

what

10:43

what is the what

10:45

what

10:46

our military hey um the enemy's got a

10:50

momentum

10:51

we need to change the perception

10:53

that they have momentum

10:57

why don't you freaking do something

11:00

i don't know i don't know i mean then

11:02

again then it gets then it gets into

11:04

well wait a minute like what is the

11:05

united supposed to do are you supposed

11:07

to invade no well well how about like in

11:09

my opinion kind of maybe going back to

11:11

my prior example how about like hey look

11:13

let's get on the phone with your

11:14

generals right now let's have a pow-wow

11:16

okay hey listen we gotta protect kabul

11:18

all right where are the military forces

11:20

let's go like how about like verbal

11:22

leadership rather than verbal like

11:25

you gotta do something hey connie did

11:29

you do anything yet you know it's been a

11:30

couple hours you gotta work on that

11:32

perception man

11:35

again i'm laughing because this is

11:37

ridiculous because this

11:40

is what we had 23 days before the fall

11:43

this is ridiculous

11:45

absolutely ridiculous oh and then of

11:47

course and then of course but make sure

11:49

you hurry up with that perception

11:52

uh

11:54

i want to vomit that's it i want to

11:56

vomit that i think i'm going to go do

11:59

that right now because this is
