Honored to be with you today.
What a weekend and not a good one.
We have a lot of news to get to today.
It's almost overwhelming the amount of stories we have to get to, and we're going to piece it all together the best we can as we keep our eyes on Kabul as we are now 24 hours out from the Taliban-imposed deadline to where they have told us we must leave the country.
I'm going to start with a Washington Post article.
Surprise, panic, and fateful choices: the day America lost its longest war.
Now, many lots of parts of this article are to be expected, but what's stunning, and this should be the number one breaking news story in the world right now, is that the Biden regime was meeting privately with the Taliban in the midst of all of their military advances to Kabul.
And the Taliban offered them, hey, United States, do you guys still want to control Kabul?
Quote, we have a problem, Badahar said, according to U.S. official.
We have two options to deal with it.
You, the United States, take responsibility for securing Kabul, or you have to allow us to do it.
The Biden regime gave Kabul over to the Taliban.
What does that tell you?
That tells you that everything you have seen the last two and three weeks has been the game.
It's a simulation.
They knew the Taliban was coming.
There were private deals that were brokered.
None of this is a surprise or a shock.
It's a surprise to us that love our country.
It's a surprise to us that don't want to see 13 Marines blown up.
It's a surprise to many senators who actually give the Biden regime the benefit of good intentions.
But Biden had this whole thing planned privately with the Taliban.
Biden was in communication with them and he was negotiating with them.
It says in this article here: the outcome of the fall of Kabul stunned top U.S. officials, several of whom had been on vacation when the weekend began, having expected the pro-Western government to hang on for a few weeks, if not months or even years longer.
Afghans were no less astonished by the speed with which their government crumbled.
Even the Taliban was surprised.
But the Biden regime was not.
Biden helped this all be possible by giving up Bagram air base, by giving almost a stand-down order to all the Afghan security forces.
The Taliban was able to take over Kabul without firing a shot.
Throughout the day, Biden had remained resolute in his decision to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan.
The collapse of the Afghan government hadn't changed Joe Biden's mind.
On the spot, an understanding was reached, according to two other U.S. officials.
The United States could have the airport until August 31st, but the Taliban would control the city.
We negotiated that.
None of this was by surprise.
Now, we could have told the Taliban, no, no, no, we control Kabul.
You cross this line.
We are going to bomb you.
Now, by the way, this should anger every single military veteran and family who lost a loved one.
You do realize we've been fighting the Taliban for the last 20 years, right?
So basically, after 20 years, like, oh, just kidding, we weren't really fighting you.
You really didn't kill our people.
You guys can control all of Kabul.
Do you understand how big of a fraud this is?
Who are we fighting the last 20 years and why were we fighting them?
Why did we spend a trillion dollars only to just turn our back and say, oh, by the way, you can control the capital city and create an open-air hostage situation in Kabul?
Intelligence reports that we are receiving is that the Taliban are going door to door and cutting tongues out of interpreters, and they will be burning them alive by the end of the week.
Christians will be publicly executed, and Americans are going to be left behind.
The Biden regime has said that they no longer can guarantee the safety of every single American.
Cut seven, the White House has walked back Joe Biden's promise.
We cannot guarantee Americans' evacuation from Afghanistan.
If you are in Kabul as an American, your government is now broadcasting, we're going to leave you behind.
You are not a priority to us.
We have other priorities.
We need to go bring another million Hondurans, you and Kabul.
Good luck.
Cut seven.
Does the U.S. right now have a vision of a process that they will use to get people out after August 31st?
Like, and what is the commitment after August 31st?
Is it absolute?
If you want to get out of Afghanistan, I don't think we can guarantee, but what we can do is work toward, and this is what the president directed the Secretary of State to continue diplomatic efforts with international partners to secure means for force any American citizen who remains in country to leave the country even after the U.S. military presence ends.
The mission was to capitulate.
The mission was to surrender.
While we all thought that this was going to be somewhat of a normal withdrawal of forces where you destroy the weapons, you get your citizens out, and then you get the military out.
There was a secret game at play here.
We all got played.
Now, I said a couple weeks ago that this felt like Biden was doing this intentionally for a very specific purpose.
And boy, did we receive backlash for that?
How dare you say Biden has anything less than perfect intentions?
No, we go straight at Biden's malevolent intentions on this program.
That's what makes us a conservative broadcast, not a moderate establishment conservative broadcast.
We go straight for the intentions.
We do not give the Biden regime the benefit of good intention.
And this article from the Washington Post shows that we are exactly right.
Biden was back channeling with the Taliban, according to the Washington Post, saying, you guys can take Taliban.
You guys can go kill Christians.
You can cut tongues out of interpreters.
You can go rape and kill children.
We don't care about that.
So Biden withdrew from Kabul, which then allowed Islamic fundamentalists to come in.
They call themselves ISIS-K.
I don't even know if that's really who did the bombing, meaning it could have just been some goatherder from the hills who lost his father when he was six years old.
Let's just say it was ISIS, okay?
Comes into Kabul and kills 13 Marines.
Joe Biden, if you wouldn't have given Kabul over to the Taliban, those 13 Marines would likely still be alive.
If you would not have given up Bagram Air Base, those 13 Marines would still be alive.
Joe Biden welcomed those remains of the Marines this weekend by checking his watch in the midst of the ceremony.
The families of the Marines said they have never been so insulted in their life.
They felt it was insincere, staged, and an act of theater.
Of course it was.
It really does ask the question: does Joe Biden even want to be president?
Joe Biden looks as if he's being held hostage as president.
He is, I can't say this because it's going to get fact-checked.
He closed his eyes for 32 seconds in a meeting with Naftali Bennett from the Israeli prime minister.
I can't say he fell asleep because that actually gets fact-checked now in Soviet-style propaganda.
They're saying, you can't say that.
Here's what we do know: Biden willingly gave up Kabul to the Taliban.
He turned his back on the Afghan government.
He did not want anyone to stand and fight against the Taliban.
Now, what would the possible motive for that be?
Well, again, we are going to go a level deeper here on this program.
We're going to go a level deeper.
I'm going to tell you the game that's being played here.
And it's a game that soon everyone's going to be talking about it.
And we happen to have information.
We happen to have intel that is stunning.
The game that's being played here is not just in Afghanistan.
It involves the greatest enemy of the United States.
It involves the Chinese Communist Party.
The surrender of Kabul.
And that's what it was.
The capitulation of Kabul.
All roads lead to Beijing.
Listen up, Patriots.
One of the most radical plans to reshape the future of America is happening right now, and we need to stop it.
President Biden's plan to pack the U.S. Supreme Court back in April.
The President launched a special judicial commission to what he calls reform the court.
But the real plan is to install four more liberal justices to gain a, quote, automatic majority and ensure favorable rulings for his most radical policies.
And once the court is packed, it will end the rule of law as we know it, which is exactly what happened in Venezuela and Argentina.
Let's be clear.
America is not a banana republic.
Thankfully, my good friends at First Liberty Institute are taking a stand.
They've issued a letter to the commission asking them to reject this radical court packing scheme, and they're not alone.
Franklin Graham, Ed Meese, James Dobson, Tony Perkins, and many more, plus 60,000 others have joined their coalition.
But we need one million.
Add your name now.

That's c oup.com to sign First Liberty's letter.
That's supremecou.com.
God bless America.
Biden handed Kabul on a platter to the Taliban.
As a result, Islamic fundamentalists were able to get into the city and kill 13 Marines.
So this weekend, Biden, trying to act like the tough guy, brought in people from the Pentagon to his office and he said, all right, we got to do something.
My poll numbers are in free fall.
We got to act like the tough guy.
What do we got?
And Cammy probably said, Hey, Joe, we got the hellfire missiles.
Joe said, What?
Lloyd Austin, the Dimwit Secretary of Defense, and Mark Milley, the fattest general the country's ever seen, they couldn't run a hot dog stand at Wrigley Field, okay?
They sit around the table and they say, All right, we got to fix it.
How are we going to fix it?
Well, we gave over Kabul.
13 Marines are dead.
Joe Biden checked his watch while the Marine families were grieving.
And then some trigger-happy numbskull, probably in some drone-operated base in Utah, thought that he found a terrorist.
So they said, Okay, why don't we use hellfire missiles and go after the terrorists?
So this weekend, the United States military, while they say they no longer want war in Afghanistan, right?
We're done with war in Afghanistan.
We don't want any more blood.
That's what Joe Biden says.
I don't want any more suffering.
So what happened?
Well, we executed a drone strike this weekend, and no one can really tell if we killed any terrorists.
We killed 10 civilians, the American government did this weekend, from the Washington Post.
It was allegedly targeting the Islamic State, but we killed 10 civilians, including several small children.
The dead were all from a single extended family who were exiting a car in a modest driveway when the strike hit a nearby vehicle.
I could just see Joe Biden giving this speech.
Now, I know everyone thinks this is terrible, but none of them were vaccinated.
U.S. Central Command said that the strike Sunday destroyed an Islamic State car bomb that posed an imminent threat to Kabul's airport.
Random Hellfire Missile Attack 00:03:46
But they're not saying who this person is.
10 civilians died, and eight of them were children under the age of 18.
Remember when the left used to get upset when drone strikes happened in the Middle East and children were just killed?
You know, if you were trying to create radicalism and you were trying to get ISIS to be able to recruit, you would do stuff like this.
If you wanted ISIS to be able to increase their membership, you would go kill eight children.
You know, there are war crime statutes against this stuff.
You just can't go around with hellfire missiles to try to boost your poll numbers, okay?
You can't just be like, hey, go pick a car, any car.
Poor guys drive into the grocery store.
His whole family gets murdered from a hellfire missile.
Nowhere in any of the documents.
Have you seen any Intel Connor that we've killed a terrorist?
We know we killed a bunch of kids.
U.S. Central Command said it's launching its own investigations.
Quote, we're aware of reports of civilian casualties following our strike on a vehicle in Kabul.
It is unclear what may have happened.
Oh, really?
This is what happens when you have dimwits and generals that have lost their way on the way to Old Country Buffet running your government.
Mark Milley has the frequent flyer equivalent of In-N-Out Burger.
I don't think they have In-Out Burger, though, in the D.C. suburbs.
No, they don't.
Way too far east.
Wendy's.
Now, he strikes me as a Burger King guy.
We would be deeply saddened by any potential loss of innocent life.
Okay, you killed eight civilians.
Is Joe Biden?
So let me get this straight.
Joe Biden gives the Kabul over to the Taliban, and then an ISIS suicide bomber comes in and kills 13 Marines.
Joe Biden sees his poll numbers are in free fall, and someone says, oh, I know Americans love drone strikes.
Go take out a terrorist.
And then they just happen to pick like full house equivalent.
I mean, how big is this family?
They got 10 people?
You got like Bob Sagett and Joey Gladstone, and they take out the whole operation in eastern Kabul.
Poor people.
Seriously.
I'm trying to make light of this.
It's a tragedy.
Two-year-old, a two-year-old daughter gets blown up in this blast.
She was an existential threat.
I thought the whole point was that we wanted to end the war, Biden, and now he's escalating conflict.
China, China, China.

It's hard to even make sense of everything that's happening right now, where we now have verified information that the Biden regime handed over Kabul on a platter to the Taliban willingly.
Then, of course, did nothing as Americans were stranded.
Bomber kills 13 Marines.
Marine remains come back to America.
Biden checks his watch in the midst of the entire ceremony.
And then Biden, to try to compensate, just does a random hellfire missile attack where we don't know if any civilian, we don't know if any terrorists were killed.
China Calls Our Foreign Policy Shots 00:13:26
We do know that eight children were killed by our own government this weekend.
There are war crime statutes against these things.
You just can't go pick a car, any car, in a place that you now said is no longer a theater of war.
But Biden will get away with that.
The media will not cover that.
And Biden seems perfectly content with the slaughter of children.
But what's really going on here?
There is a deeper game being played here, and our media won't cover it because our media is bought and paid for by this very same entity.
Everything that you are about to see geopolitically for the rest of your life will involve the Chinese Communist Party.
The Chinese Communist Party is calling the shots on the world stage.
The Chinese Communist Party owns many of your banks.
The Chinese Communist Party owns many of the major players in Las Vegas.
The Chinese Communist Party owns the influential decisions behind the NBA and Hollywood.
Now, when I say owns, that doesn't mean that they are majority shareholders, but they do represent enough business where they get what they want.
You see, the Chinese Communist Party, yes, they are buying up farmland all across the country.
Yes, the Chinese Communist Party is buying up land next to Air Force bases.
Yes, the Chinese Communist Party finance universities across the country with Confucius Institutes, and they bring hundreds of thousands of their students into America as pseudo-spies, and they pay full tuition, and we've done nothing against it.
But you see, the Chinese Communist Party, what has made them different than any other world aspirational world power is that they have decided to use a free and open society against us.
They've decided to use Americans' love of money as a way to get within our ranks.
In America, the business class has increasingly become one that is godless, atheistic, money-worshiping.
The Chinese Communist Party knows how to deal with that.
The Chinese Communist Party started to infiltrate the top levels of business and finance, saying, Hey, just bring your manufacturing plant over to mainland China.
You turn over Iraq, you get a million people in mainland China.
We could do it for less.
Pseudo-slave labor.
And your leaders were willing to do that.
And they said, oh, don't worry, it's going to be a wonderful thing.
We are going to embrace free markets, and China is going to go through a neoliberal renaissance.
The opposite happened.
The more we traded with China, the more tyrannical they became.
Now, the architects of this project was, of course, George H.W. Bush, who, interestingly enough, before being tapped to run the Central Intelligence Agency, was in charge of, I think he was either the ambassador to China or he was the CIA station desk equivalent in China.
He ran China in the 1970s before he got randomly tapped to go run the CIA.
Interesting how that worked.
Now, the reason we got involved in China with Richard Nixon was to try to be a proxy against Russia and the Soviet Union.
But then soon our ruling class started to grow more of an attachment to getting the third big home in Aspen or the yacht in Turks and Caicos or the private jet that could fly them to the south of France than actually whether or not they were serving their fellow countrymen.
And China knew this.
China knew that the more that we embraced living large and having lots of stuff, they'd be able to supply that.
But there would be a day where that all comes due.
The Chinese Communist Party, instead of liberalizing their society, they became more authoritarian, more nationalistic.
And their aims and their ambitions have always been to become the supreme geopolitical power across the world.
They laughed as we fought the war on terror.
They got rich.
They invested in military technology.
They laughed as we did a 20-year war in Afghanistan.
They said, we'll eventually take over and do a deal with the Taliban because the Americans are going to lose the will to fight.
Now, it's not all positives for China.
China has borrowed a lot of money.
Their banking system is on very fragile footing.
But I'm going to tell you one story that happened this last weekend.
I'm going to tie all of this together because believe it or not, what's happening right now in Kabul, what's happening right now at the World Health Organization, what's happening internationally, all has to do with China and Taiwan.
In fact, based on many different news stories that are publicly available, the United States government is triangulating and back channeling with the Taliban and the Taliban with the Chinese.
There's a triangulation strategy going on.
It should also ask the question is, what do they have on Joe Biden?
The answer is probably a lot.
Joe Biden is probably being blackmailed by the Chinese Communist Party.
Very same thing they said that was happening to Trump.
That actually wasn't happening.
But this weekend, a story came out where all of a sudden the World Health Organization comes out alongside our own intelligence agencies and they say that we can't determine whether or not the Chinese coronavirus was a bioweapon.
That's strange because according to Dr. Anthony Fauci's own emails on January 31st with Hu Achenclaus, he said himself that this was bioengineered.
The intelligence agencies, not wanting to upset China, said it's still to be determined whether this came from.
We know it didn't come from a bat.
We know it didn't come from the hills.
We know it came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
But again, the Chinese Communist Party, they own your media companies.
They control every major decision in the country because our business leaders, they have decided that they want loyalty to money, not loyalty to country.
They want loyalty to stuff, not loyalty to God.
That's who's running your businesses right now.
The Chinese Communist Party is planning to take Taiwan before December.
And they're probably going to be able to do it.
The Strait of Taiwan is a narrow strait.
Taipei, it's called the Taiwan Strait.
Taipei is at the northern heart of Taiwan.
Now, Taiwan has some ethnic Chinese there, and they also have their own very unique culture.
The Taiwanese will fight.
This is not a clean kill for the Chinese Communist Party, but they're willing to absorb the political risk to take Taiwan.
It is priority number one, two, three, four, and five for them.
The only thing that China needs is for America to stand down.
Now, America should put an aircraft carrier right now in the Taiwan Strait, and that would end all conversation.
But we're not going to do that because our president is likely compromised by the Chinese.
Our leadership class does not want any confrontation with China.
You understand?
The leadership class, they need another yacht.
It's really important.
Don't get in the way.
They need a building named after them at Harvard.
Way more important than national security.
And China knows this.
China has made specifically placed investments and annuities through every single sector of our business.
All they have to do is just put a pressure point, put a pressure point like they did with John Cena.
John Cena is a perfect example of this.
John Cena, the very low IQ meathead who used to be a respectable human being and is now, quite honestly, just kind of a very, he's a typical spokesperson for a genocidal regime.
He said something about Taiwan and then went immediately back on social media and apologized and made, I didn't mean it.
I'm so sorry.
Same thing with the National Basketball Association.
They're not allowed to mention it because China will flex their muscle on the capital flows that are controlled into our country.
There is new evidence to suggest, though, that the United States government is going to allow China to take Taiwan.
We do not have the political will and we do not have the internal leadership to stop China from doing this.
I spoke recently with someone at the very highest levels of the United States military.
Let's just say up there.
He said the morale has never been lower.
He said, even internally, militarily, there are vocalized doubts that is America still the greatest military in the world.
That's within the military.
People at the highest levels of the United States military are saying, I don't trust the people running our military.
If it came to a confrontation with China, we would lose.
People are saying that within the highest levels of the military.
I made a comment in our conversation.
I said, man, I don't trust people running the military.
And you know what he said?
Oh, you shouldn't.
I said, excuse me, I thought you were going to correct me.
We were going to have some sort of debate.
Like, I was kind of trying to...
No, no, no.
You shouldn't trust any of them.
Stop me short.
Now, I want to be very clear.
There are still one, I mean, most of the military are full of wonderful, selfless, amazing patriots.
I'm talking about the woke generals and leadership class that have been installed.
I don't trust the military to defend us or our government to protect us.
People in the military are telling me that.
And this weekend, a lieutenant colonel from the Marines resigned because he said exactly that.
And this has always been an aim of the left.
They've always wanted to take over the military.
They knew if they could take over the military, then all of a sudden everything else will fall into place.
I'm going to go back to what I said earlier.
Who has embassies still in Kabul?
Iran, China, Russia, Pakistan.
Because of the saber rattlers in our own national security apparatus, we've decided we're not even allowed to talk to Russia anymore, even though we could have formed a rather fruitful partnership with Russia against China.
That boat has sailed.
China's talking to Russia more than they ever have.
If Taiwan gets taken by December, which it looks like it will, based on all public reports, China is flexing their muscles towards Taiwan.
It will change the geopolitical balance across the world.
You think that China's afraid of our military?
Of course not.
They have all of our technology because the Taliban is handing it over to them.
They know we don't have the will to fight.
Now, against Trump, they were scared like you wouldn't believe.
But they know that we're missing the most important ingredient when it comes to military conflict.
The will.
We don't have the will to fight.
We don't have the will to even secure Kabul against our enemies.
In fact, under Joe Biden, our enemies quickly become our allies and not our allies in a sense that is anything good.
Joe Biden handed Kabul over for what reason?
Maybe because China told him.
Maybe because Joe Biden through all the business deals, 10% for the big man, all the blackmail.
Joe Biden is doing Xi Jinping spinning.

Osama bin Laden's security chief is now back in Afghanistan after 20 years.
So Al-Qaeda is back and fully operational in Afghanistan.
Also, the Taliban, they're flying Blackhawk helicopters and stringing dissidents from them, courtesy of Joe Biden.
Joe Biden gave a sizable contribution to his new buddies, the Taliban, of all of our military equipment, probably at the request of China.
But I want to get to a story here domestically.
And it's seemingly unrelated, but it isn't unrelated.
Atheist Leader at Harvard 00:04:22
It all ties together to what we're talking about here, which is how we've allowed things to change and not challenge them.
The Ivy Leagues used to all be seminaries.
The Ivy League's colleges, which is Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Yale, Penn, Brown, Princeton.
They were all Christian schools.
For example, at the founding of University of Pennsylvania, which was founded by Benjamin Franklin, evangelists played a major part at the founding of that school.
Dartmouth University in New Hampshire was founded by Elazar Willock, a congregational minister.
Rutgers was founded by Dutch Reformed revivalists.
Brown was founded by Baptists and Baptist churches on the Atlantic seaboard.
Columbia was founded, the first president of Columbia was, also known as King's College, was Anglican or Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.
Princeton was founded by Presbyterians and still has somewhat of a Presbyterian seminary, not really.
Yale was founded as the collegiate school to try to educate Congregationalist ministers.
William and Mary was founded by the Church of England, which is Episcopalian or Anglican.
And Harvard, the first university in the United States, actually I think William and Mary was founded before.
There's a debate behind it.
But Harvard, right near the beginning of America in the 1630s, main purpose was to educate clergy.
With some 17,000 Puritans migrating to New England in 1636, Harvard was founded in anticipation of the need for training clergy for the new Commonwealth.
How far has America fallen?
Well, breaking in the last couple of days.
The new chief chaplain at Harvard University, he's an atheist.
The chaplain is an atheist.
Four centuries after Harvard started as a beacon of teaching people moral goodness and coming in relationship with their creator, the new person in charge of spiritual development at Harvard does not believe in spiritual development.
His name is Mr. Epstein or Epstein, author of the book Good Without God.
He will coordinate the activities of more than 40 university chaplains who lead the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and Buddhist.
Yet he himself does not believe in God.
I'm reading from the New York Times.
Harvard University applauds that their new chaplain believes in nothingness.
An electric and engineering student says Greg's leadership isn't about theology.
It's about cooperation between people of different faiths and bringing people together who normally wouldn't consider themselves religious.
Unbelievable.
He's going to bring his evangelistic atheism to Harvard University.
Greg was the first choice of the committee that was made up of a Lutheran, a Christian scientist, an evangelical, and other people of faith.
We want to present a university as a vision of how the world could work when diverse traditions focus on how to be good humans and neighbors.
So, the head of spiritual development at Harvard University is someone that believes spirituality and the soul is a construct completely of its own creation.
You want to see why America has fallen so far?
