I'M UPSET!! Leak Reveals Truth | Afghanistan's Failure.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
all right folks you know i missed her in
the middle here i just want to know that
our government actually has somewhat of
a clue and this is frustrating me this
is not a left or right political video
this is talk about afghanistan straight
talk and why is it that reuters just got
two leaked audio tapes and transcripts
one between biden and uh the president
and then president of afghanistan and
then another one between commander
mckenzie and others why is it that in
these calls
the united states government seems
completely unaware
of the potential collapse of afghanistan
and instead of actually talking about
physical military support
we're talking about hey um ghani you got
to work on your perception
yes i kid you not this is not hyperbole
let's take a look at the document itself
or the report itself rather this is from
reuters i published today take a look at
this here
we have a an introductory paragraph
where reuters says in the last call
between president biden and gani in the
last call
neither gani nor biden appeared aware
or prepared for the immediate danger of
the entire country falling to insurgents
reuters says this reuters is a very high
fact
media source uh they are a newswire
service now i'm not trying to elevate
them to say they can't be wrong but this
is different from like a fox or scene
okay and i'm also not trying to diss
them but let's be real
this well let's just keep going you can
draw your own conclusions okay the
president spoke for about 14 minutes on
july 23rd that's about three weeks
before ghani fled the presidential
palace when the taliban took over kabul
reuters reviewed the transcript and uh
listened to audio to authenticate the
conversation in the call biden offered a
tagani if
it's literally
if
ghani could publicly project he had a
plan to control the spiraling situation
in afghanistan so hey hey we'll help you
out we'll send in some more air support
but you better make sure the people know
you're wearing the pants
that's a very awkward kind of
conversation right before an entire
country is about to collapse
like really right before country's going
to collapse you'd have a conversation
about better project that you the boss
that's not good three weeks before
collapse
quote we will continue to provide close
air support if we know what the plan is
biden said
you're telling me three weeks before
afghanistan collapsed
there was no plan
on either side apparently that either
side was just completely clueless
very odd very very very odd the u.s
president then advised ghani to get a
buy-in from powerful afghan uh forces
and and military strategists in other
words put a warrior in charge of the
effort to make the country feel more
powerful and united joe biden three
weeks before the collapse said you
clearly have the best military you have
300 000 well-armed forces versus 70 to
80 000 taliban and clearly the 300 000
are
well actually it says and they the 300
000 are clearly capable of fighting well
days later
the afghan military started folding
across provincial capitals in the
country with little fight
against the taliban
this is embarrassing phone call
in much of the call biden focused on
what he called the afghan government's
perception problem quote
i need not tell you the perception
around the world and in parts of
afghanistan i believe
is that things are not going well in
terms of the fight against the taliban
really three weeks before the collapse
it appears things are not going well and
there is no plan there is no plan
this is scary
this is the united states of america
here i am thinking our country whether
you are a democrat or republican has our
back what happened
i want to know what happened because
this is a disaster i mean we know
what
what happened but i'm talking about like
why the details right stuff like this
because this is just more of a sign of
cluelessness of our government
everyone in the government i'm not
trying to make this like an anti-biden
thing to everyone you know biden
to some degree is reliant heavily on
whatever information he's given
biden told ghani that if afghanistan's
prominent political figures were to give
a press conference together backing a
new military strategy quote that will
change perception and that will change
an awful lot i think
the american leader's words indicated he
didn't anticipate a massive insurrection
and collapse to come 23 days later we're
going to continue to fight hard so on
and so forth white house declined to
comment after the call white house
released a statement saying we're going
to continue to support afghanistan
ghani told biden he believed there could
be peace if he could rebalance the
military solution but we need to move
his speed in other words
gandhi was saying i don't have a plan
and biden's saying you need to come up
with a plan
and he's like i don't got one i got 300
000 people with guns but no plan
and so then we get suggestions from the
united states government well well maybe
you need to put a warrior in charge yeah
you know build that reception put a
warrior you know what have a press
conference
come on man
i don't i don't understand again uh this
this is a i'm expressing this
frustration as an american okay i i want
to believe in american exceptionalism in
the power of our our coordinated
military uh i honor all of those who
serve our country
uh those who who give their lives
for our safety and security
but this is what's going on at the top
come on man
i already used that one
anyway uh yeah okay uh then there's you
know ghani's trying to blame basically
uh people from pakistan coming over the
pakistan embassy denies this reuter
tried to uh reach out reuters tried to
reach out to ghani he didn't get a
response
talk a little bit more about background
here afghanistan was promising a shift
in its military strategy to start
focusing on protecting population
centers major cities rather than fight
to protect rural territories biden
referred
approvingly of that strategy he said
that doing so would help not just on the
ground but in the
perception internationally that was
required to shore up world support for
the afghan government
so in other words it sounds to me like
biden was kind of conditioning
more support
on gani actually running an efficient
government but this is to me a little
bit of i feel like a chicken or egg
problem how can your government in
afghanistan feel more stable
if you don't have the proper support
like you're really wobbly or like i need
help but then the person with the help
is like i can see you're wobbling but
you know before i give you any help i
need to see that you're stable and
you're like uh you know we got some
problems here
[Music]
i i'm laughing because of the
ridiculousness of the analogy not of the
disaster that's going on because my
heart literally goes out not just to
those who have lost their lives
but the
families that are broken the the men and
women children especially the women and
children uh the students uh it's it's
disgusting but continuing on
quote i'm not a military guy so i'm not
telling you what a plan precisely should
look like
you're going to get not only more help
but you're going to get a perception
that is going to change biden said
okay
gani for his part assured biden that
your assurance of support goes a very
long way to enable us to really mobilize
us in earnest okay the wording here is
really bothering me because you know
we're getting a lot of like i think this
is going to help this will improve the
looks of things
and hey your assurance of support feels
good
like
what kind of conversation is this
so i gotta chill out
a little over two weeks after biden's
call with gani the taliban captured
several provincial
afghan capitals and the united states
said it was up to afghan security forces
to defend the country
quote
these are their military forces these
are their provincial capitals
their people to defend the pentagon
spokesperson said well okay
so much for that support
august 11th u.s intelligence reports
indicate taliban fighters could isolate
afghanistan's capital in 30 days and
take it over within 90 the fall happened
in less than a week
there was a second call
oh this was interesting by the way this
right here uh biden asked uh gani to get
the former president muhammad karzai on
the phone but ghani said karzai would
not be helpful he is contrary and time
is of the essence we cannot bring every
single individual presumably on the
phone
we've tried for months with karzai last
time we met for almost two hours and he
was cursing me out and was accusing me
of being a u.s lackey to which biden
said i'm gonna reserve judgment on that
then there was a second call between uh
general uh millie and commander
mackenzie they spoke with ghani in this
call also
on that same day
the area of focus was not on actual
things happening
like hey we're going to work on strikes
in this area let's work on protecting
this area let's get a you know
contingent of troops over here let's get
tanks mobilized there none of that
these are the generals
okay the generals of the united states
military talking to the president now of
afghanistan or the former president
saying quote the perception in the
united states and in europe and the
media sort of thing is a narrative of
taliban momentum and a narrative of
taliban victory and we need to
collectively demonstrate and try to turn
that perception
what
what is the what
what
our military hey um the enemy's got a
momentum
we need to change the perception
that they have momentum
why don't you freaking do something
i don't know i don't know i mean then
again then it gets then it gets into
well wait a minute like what is the
united supposed to do are you supposed
to invade no well well how about like in
my opinion kind of maybe going back to
my prior example how about like hey look
let's get on the phone with your
generals right now let's have a pow-wow
okay hey listen we gotta protect kabul
all right where are the military forces
let's go like how about like verbal
leadership rather than verbal like
you gotta do something hey connie did
you do anything yet you know it's been a
couple hours you gotta work on that
perception man
again i'm laughing because this is
ridiculous because this
is what we had 23 days before the fall
this is ridiculous
absolutely ridiculous oh and then of
course and then of course but make sure
you hurry up with that perception
uh
i want to vomit that's it i want to
vomit that i think i'm going to go do
that right now because this is
disgusting and disgraceful thank you for
