FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

hey everyone we kevin here wow the

0:02

pentagon has a finally recognized that

0:04

they effed up they finally came clean

0:08

about this take a look at this folks

0:10

seven days ago i posted this tweet what

0:13

an effing disgrace left my dad's

0:16

birthday dinner to watch this and now

0:18

i'm shaking and in tears and i'm going

0:20

to show you exactly what this is but it

0:23

has to do with 10 innocent people

0:25

getting killed in the drone strike in

0:27

kabul now i said that i was going to

0:30

post a full reaction video at the end of

0:32

my dad's birthday

0:33

i was not capable of posting a reaction

0:35

video and i decided next day that i

0:38

needed to focus more on the campaign

0:40

than on national politics now that the

0:42

election is over however

0:44

guess what also came out

0:46

look at this

0:48

seven days after the new york times

0:52

exposed

0:53

the biden administration specifically

0:55

the pentagon

0:57

for the drone strike that killed 10

0:59

civilians in kabul ten days seven days

1:02

after so a full week after the pentagon

1:05

acknowledged on friday that a u.s drone

1:07

strike in afghanistan on august 29th

1:09

was a neces or originally said was

1:12

necessary to prevent an attack on

1:14

american troops was a tragic mistake

1:17

that killed 10 civilians and seven

1:21

children this is absolutely

1:24

bad now i know mistakes happen in war

1:26

but this isn't even close to a mistake

1:29

and i'll show you why because i linked

1:32

uh the video to what actually happened

1:35

seven days ago on twitter so follow me

1:37

on twitter uh if you have not seen it

1:38

yet

1:39

but

1:40

what i encourage you to implore you to

1:42

do is watch some of this with me because

1:44

this is insane now i'll skip around a

1:47

little bit and i'll encourage you to

1:49

watch the full thing at the new york

1:50

times but i want to add my commentary to

1:52

this which i think you'll find

1:53

beneficial take a look at this because

1:54

it's it's

1:56

very very disturbing uh but uh

1:58

in terms of the the facts around what

2:00

happened it's not like you see really

2:02

graphic things it's more about the facts

2:04

around what happened that are varied

2:05

okay so the new york times begins by

2:07

showing footage of how a car parked in a

2:10

courtyard was destroyed and this person

2:15

was the target and apparently

2:18

up to seven of his children were all

2:21

also killed and what the new york times

2:24

did is they flew to kabul and

2:28

investigated this since the date of the

2:30

drone strike they interviewed experts

2:33

weapons experts they took photographs

2:35

they went to the scene they conducted

2:36

interviews and i'm not trying to shield

2:38

the new york times here but they did

2:39

some really incredible investigative

2:42

work uh let's go ahead and play some

2:44

parts of this uh starting right

2:47

here

2:49

the procedures were correctly followed

2:50

and it was a righteous strike

2:53

it's worth noting why they say this up

2:55

front says the procedures were correctly

2:58

followed well in this video you're going

3:00

to see how those procedures were

3:02

followed and ended his day by pulling up

3:04

to his house

3:07

soon after

3:08

his toyota was hit with a 20-pound

3:10

hellfire missile

3:11

[Music]

3:13

what was interpreted as the suspicious

3:15

moves of a terrorist

3:16

may have just been an average day in his

3:18

life

3:19

and was since the pentagon admitted it's

3:21

what the military saw ahmadi loading

3:23

into his car were water canisters he was

3:26

bringing home to his family not

3:28

explosives

3:30

using never-before-seen security camera

3:32

footage of ahmadi

3:33

interviews with his family co-workers

3:35

and witnesses we will piece together for

3:38

the first time his movements in the

3:40

hours before he was killed

3:43

this is incredible by the way the

3:45

reconstruction here zebra ahmadi was an

3:47

electrical engineer by training for 14

3:50

years he had worked for the kabul office

3:52

of nutrition and education international

3:54

nei established a total of 11 soybean

3:57

processing plants in afghanistan it's a

3:59

california-based ngo that fights

4:01

malnutrition

4:03

listen to that he worked for a

4:05

non-government

4:07

organization

4:08

providing food for people who were

4:11

starving

4:13

on most days he drove one of the

4:15

company's white toyota corollas

4:18

they've referenced white toyota corolla

4:19

about three times now that's because

4:21

it's a very important detail taking his

4:24

colleagues to and from work and

4:26

distributing the ngo's food to afghans

4:28

displaced by the war

4:31

[Music]

4:33

only three days before ahmadi was killed

4:36

13 u.s troops and more than 170 afghan

4:39

civilians died in an islamic state

4:41

suicide attack at the airport

4:44

the military had given lower level

4:46

commanders the authority to order

4:48

airstrikes earlier in the evacuation

4:50

and they were bracing for what they

4:52

feared was another imminent attack

4:56

to reconstruct this by the way ends up

4:58

becoming also important that lower level

5:01

individuals were authorized to carry out

5:03

airstrikes because the pentagon wanted

5:05

you to believe that these air strikes

5:07

were being conducted after hours of

5:10

painstaking research

5:11

well that ended up not being true

5:14

according to what the new york times

5:15

found out again not trying to show the

5:17

new york times but what they say and

5:19

prove in this video with what they're

5:20

showing

5:21

very powerful muddy's movement on august

5:23

29 and the hours before he was killed

5:26

the times pieced together the security

5:27

camera footage from his office with

5:29

interviews with more than a dozen of

5:31

ahmadi's colleagues and family members

5:35

ahmadi appears to have left his home

5:37

around 9 a.m he then picked up a

5:40

colleague and his boss's laptop near his

5:42

house

5:43

it's around this time that the u.s

5:45

military claimed it observed a white

5:46

sedan leaving an alleged islamic state

5:49

safe house around five kilometers

5:51

northwest of the airport

5:54

that's why the u.s military said they

5:56

tracked ahmadis corolla that day

5:59

they also said they intercepted

6:00

communications from the safe house

6:02

instructing the car to make several

6:03

stops

6:05

but every colleague who rode with ahmadi

6:07

that day

6:08

said what the military interpreted as a

6:10

series of suspicious moves was just a

6:13

typical day in his life

6:16

after ahmadi picked up another colleague

6:19

the three stopped to get breakfast and

6:21

at 9 35 a.m they arrived at the ngo's

6:24

office

6:25

i'm going to just provide some extra

6:26

detail here really quick because i think

6:28

it's better to provide this context up

6:29

front the united states military

6:31

received intel that a white corolla was

6:35

being used for a potential attack by

6:38

isis

6:40

they were tracking this one though which

6:43

is the innocent white corolla

6:45

let's keep

6:46

going

6:48

later that morning ahmadi drove some of

6:50

his co-workers to a taliban occupied

6:52

police station to get permission for

6:55

future food distribution at a new

6:56

displacement camp

6:58

what does disgrace

7:00

and his colleagues return to the office

7:02

the security like how could you fail so

7:04

badly that guy's picking up food and

7:06

water for people

7:08

camera footage we obtained from the

7:10

office is crucial to understanding what

7:12

happens next

7:14

the camera's time stamp is off but we

7:16

went to the office and verified the time

7:19

we also matched an exact scene from the

7:21

footage with a time stamp satellite

7:23

image to confirm it was accurate

7:27

at 2 35 pm ahmadi pulls out a hose and

7:30

then he and a co-worker fill empty

7:32

containers with water

7:35

okay these containers become very

7:37

important because

7:39

the way this looks it's kind of like how

7:41

do we know that's water what if that's

7:43

gas what if they're filling them up with

7:45

with stuff that's going to go boom pow

7:47

after after a primary explosion and that

7:50

these tanks would be secondary

7:51

explosions right i want you to right now

7:53

think to yourself

7:55

if you filled up

7:56

a gas canister with fuel

7:59

and then it exploded

8:01

what do you think the gas canister would

8:02

look like

8:04

after the explosion

8:05

okay think about that

8:07

remember that that becomes very

8:09

important earlier that morning we saw

8:11

ahmadi bring these same empty plastic

8:14

containers to the office

8:15

there was a water shortage in his

8:17

neighborhood his family said so he

8:19

regularly brought water home from the

8:21

office

8:23

at around 3 38 pm a colleague moves

8:25

ahmadi's car further into the driveway

8:29

a senior u.s official told us that at

8:30

roughly the same time the military saw

8:33

ahmadi's car pull into an unknown

8:35

compound 8 to 12 kilometers southwest of

8:38

the airport

8:39

that overlaps with the location of the

8:41

ngo's office which we believe is what

8:44

the military called an unknown compound

8:47

how

8:48

can you call it an unknown compound when

8:50

there's literally a sign on the wall

8:52

that tells you it's the ngo like did

8:56

y'all try google in it did you try

8:58

calling the ngo first that you try

9:00

linking potentially the fact that these

9:02

people are carrying around water jugs

9:05

and food with the fact that the

9:07

billboards say they deal with water and

9:10

food

9:11

is this what our cia is doing

9:14

come on

9:17

with the workday ending and i get it i

9:19

get it it's like oh come on kevin though

9:20

that be a clever front you know put

9:23

bombs in food right

9:24

you got to put all the pieces of the

9:26

puzzle together before you bomb someone

9:27

okay

9:28

an employee switched off the office

9:30

generator and the feed from the camera

9:32

ends

9:34

we don't have footage of the moments

9:36

that followed

9:37

but it's at this time the military said

9:40

that its drone feed showed four men

9:42

gingerly loading wrapped packages into

9:44

the car

9:45

officials said they couldn't tell what

9:47

was inside them

9:50

this footage from earlier in the day

9:52

shows what the men said they were

9:53

carrying

9:54

their laptops one in a plastic shopping

9:57

bag

9:59

and the only things in the trunk

10:00

almighty's co-worker said

10:02

were the water containers

10:05

ahmadi dropped each one of them off then

10:08

drove to his home and don't get me wrong

10:10

i'm just pausing because i want to give

10:11

the benefit of the doubt here it's like

10:13

some of this stuff looks a little sus

10:15

right it's kind of like

10:16

picking up a lot of people you're

10:17

matching the description and white

10:19

corolla uh you know we hear that white

10:21

corolla is planning an attack you're

10:23

loading barrels and and and hosing stuff

10:26

in into these barrels and loading into

10:28

like some of it looks sus but you would

10:31

expect that the united states military

10:33

would just go a little bit further

10:35

before bombing someone

10:37

in a dense neighborhood near the airport

10:40

he backed into the home's small

10:41

courtyard

10:43

children surrounded the car according to

10:45

his brother

10:52

[Music]

10:59

a u.s official said the military feared

11:01

the car would leave again and go into an

11:03

even more crowded street or to the

11:05

airport itself

11:06

i just want to quickly mention in case

11:08

you didn't see the transcription there

11:10

they said that when the individual would

11:12

come home

11:13

it was habit

11:14

that the children would come outside

11:18

greet

11:19

the family man and hang out and play

11:22

inside of

11:24

the car

11:25

which ended up being the target of a

11:27

hellfire missile

11:30

the drone operators who hadn't been

11:32

watching ahmadi's home at all that day

11:34

quickly scanned the courtyard and said

11:36

they saw only one adult male talking to

11:38

the driver and no children

11:43

they decided this was the moment to

11:45

strike

12:00

it's worth noting that there was uh

12:01

leaked uh there were leaked reports that

12:05

uh the other killings

12:07

a day two days after this drone strike

12:10

when these other deaths were revealed

12:12

were referred to as bug splat

12:16

chilly

12:17

disgusting

12:20

[Music]

12:22

a u.s official told us that the strike

12:24

on ahmadi's car was conducted by an mq-9

12:27

reaper drone that fired a single

12:29

hellfire missile with a 20-pound warhead

12:32

we found remnants of the missile which

12:35

experts said matched a hellfire at the

12:36

scene of the attack

12:38

in the days after the attack the

12:40

pentagon repeatedly claimed that the

12:42

missile strikes set off other explosions

12:45

and that these likely killed the

12:46

civilians in the courtyard

12:48

significant secondary explosions from

12:50

the targeted vehicle indicated the

12:52

presence of a substantial amount of

12:55

explosive uh material

12:57

this this by the way is what our

12:59

government looks like when it's

13:01

literally spewing bs like literally

13:04

spewing bs there was no evidence of

13:07

secondary explosions

13:09

zero evidence of secondary explosions

13:11

and you'll see that in the pictures here

13:13

in a moment especially remember those

13:14

water jugs i told you about

13:16

so i don't know either they're lying or

13:18

they don't even know that they don't

13:19

even know because there were secondary

13:21

explosions there's a reasonable uh

13:23

conclusion to be made that there was

13:25

explosives in that vehicle

13:27

but a senior military official later

13:29

told us that it was only possible to

13:31

probable that explosives in the car

13:33

caused another blast

13:36

we gathered photos and videos of the

13:38

scene taken by journalists and visited

13:40

the courtyard multiple times

13:42

we shared the evidence with three

13:43

weapons experts who said the damage was

13:46

consistent with the impact of a hellfire

13:48

missile they pointed to the small crater

13:50

beneath ahmadi's car

13:52

and the damage from the metal fragments

13:54

of the warhead

13:56

this plastic melted as a result of a car

13:58

fire triggered by the missile strike

14:01

all three experts also pointed out what

14:03

was missing

14:04

any evidence of the large secondary

14:06

explosions described with a pentagon no

14:09

collapsed or blown out walls including

14:12

next to the trunk with the alleged

14:13

explosives

14:15

no sign that a second car yeah in that

14:17

last frame there let's see if i can go

14:19

back look at that trunk

14:21

if there were secondary explosions from

14:23

the trunk

14:24

don't you think this would be pretty

14:26

dang damaged and they'll show you in

14:27

just a moment the water jugs which you

14:28

can actually see some of them over here

14:30

but you'll see some that directly come

14:31

from the trunk including next to the

14:33

trunk with the alleged explosives

14:35

no sign that a second car parked in the

14:37

courtyard was overturned by a large

14:39

blast

14:40

no destroyed

14:42

vegetation all of this matches what

14:45

eyewitnesses told us

14:46

that a single missile exploded and

14:49

triggered a large fire

14:52

there is one final detail visible in the

14:54

wreckage

14:56

containers

14:57

identical to the ones that ahmadi and

14:59

his colleague filled with water and

15:01

loaded into his trunk before heading

15:03

home

15:04

even though the military said the drone

15:06

team watched the car for eight hours

15:08

that day a senior official also said

15:11

they weren't aware of any water

15:12

containers

15:14

like

15:15

right there

15:16

that that is such a crucial detail

15:19

one half of the military or one side of

15:21

the military is going we watched that

15:23

compound for eight hours and somebody

15:26

else was like what water jugs we didn't

15:28

see any water jugs bef while we're

15:30

watching them for eight hours before we

15:32

bomb them

15:33

really that's what they were doing all

15:35

freaking day long or at least that's

15:36

what we saw in the footage multiple

15:38

times water jug's outside the car water

15:40

drugs being filled in water drugs being

15:42

transported there from a different

15:43

location water jugs being put into the

15:45

back of the trunk how do you miss that

15:51

the pentagon has not provided the times

15:53

with evidence of explosives in ahmadi's

15:55

vehicle

15:56

or shared what they say is the

15:58

intelligence that linked him to the

15:59

islamic state exactly

16:02

but the morning described the u.s killed

16:04

the islamic state did launch rockets at

16:06

the airport from a residential area

16:08

ahmadi had driven through the previous

16:10

day and the vehicle they used

16:13

was a white toyota

16:15

there it is

16:16

see remember i told you early on

16:19

there was there was evidence of a white

16:23

corolla

16:24

being potentially involved in a

16:25

terrorist attack

16:28

the military was just tracking the wrong

16:30

corolla apparently failed to properly

16:32

communicate with drone operators and

16:34

surveillance crews and they targeted the

16:36

wrong one

16:37

then lied about the fact that they

16:39

tracked this corolla for eight hours

16:41

then lied about the fact that there were

16:43

secondary explosions when there was no

16:45

evidence of that we saw it in the

16:47

pictures with our own eyes the water

16:49

jugs were fine the drugs they didn't

16:51

even know about and killed seven

16:53

children

16:54

10 people in total

16:56

when i first watched this video my heart

16:58

was shattered like how could you screw

17:00

up that badly this is like that wasn't

17:03

even close there wasn't even an imminent

17:06

threat the guy was parked at home it's

17:09

not like he was driving to the airport

17:12

you know it's like it's like one thing

17:13

it's like oh crap he's going to the

17:15

airport oh no you know like

17:17

like maybe there'd be like one percent

17:19

more or i mean really there shouldn't be

17:21

based on all the prior evidence but at

17:22

least maybe that'd be like oh the threat

17:24

is now imminent right no this was just

17:27

oh let's just get him while he's

17:28

isolated which i also get because you

17:29

don't want to cause collateral damage

17:31

and hurt other people but at least have

17:33

your intelligence correct which was

17:36

clearly flawed here there was obviously

17:39

more time if the person had just driven

17:41

into the compound there's obviously more

17:43

time nothing indicating that he was just

17:45

ready to leave now

17:48

disgrace

17:49

absolute

17:51

disgrace

17:52

that now seven children

17:54

have lost their lives

17:55

three adults

17:56

for nothing people who are working to

17:59

survive or like to provide people with

18:01

more food

18:03

and and to provide people with with

18:06

suffering from malnutrition with proper

18:08

nutrition and then the government lies

18:09

about it

18:11

until the new york times exposes them
