Blinken's Masterclass on Perks 00:15:27
Hey, everybody.
Our Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, just put a masterclass on display of how the ruling class operates and how they want the perks and the benefits of being in charge, but none of the responsibility.
We dive into that and also an update of how Joe Biden is allowing dogs be brought to their slaughter in Afghanistan and so much more.

Keep up the great work, and I'll keep up the good fight.
Thank you, Jim.
That is so kind of you.
I love German Shepherds, and I'm glad you love this podcast.
Those are two things that Joe Biden seemingly doesn't like.
He does have a German Shepherd, but he has led many to the slaughter.

There's a lot happening right now in the country that I want to get into.
I want to really get into this wonderful article by Michael Anton from The American Mind about importing enemies, the willingness of our leaders to bring in Afghan refugees with no understanding whatsoever.
Maybe they do have an understanding or they just don't care because it's not coming to their neighborhood.
It's not coming to Beverly Hills.
It's not coming to Highland Park.
But at least the way they're communicating it is: why are we bringing these people over in the first place?
I want to get into that article in a moment, but I want to begin with something I watched very carefully last evening.
Rarely do you get to see a performance where so many of the trends we talk about here on this program, the philosophical trends, the spiritual trends, the political trends, all get summarized in one speech.
There was a speech last evening done by Tony Blinken.
Blinken is the Secretary of State of the United States.
And how far have we fallen from Mike Pompeo to Tony Blinken?
Tony Blinken looks like the guy that would have been friends with Jack Black as they collected old Nirvana CDs and talked about chords that they could play on their guitars while smoking weed till three o'clock in the morning.
That's who Tony Blinken reminds me of.
Tony Blinken is a perfect example in his speech last evening about what has just happened in Afghanistan, which is an unmitigated disaster.
Some would say a treasonous disaster.
It's hard to disagree with that when you see really what's happened with the $83 billion in military equipment given over to the Taliban, the handing over of Kabul to the Taliban, willingly giving over Kabul.
Not to mention, new report has come out, and we will get into this story as well, on how the Biden regime decided to give all of our wonderful service dogs to the Taliban.
And no, the Taliban are not going to use them.
They're probably going to eat them, or they'll give them the Chinese to eat them.
The Chinese are very big in eating dogs.
This is evil.
And I'm not saying that dogs' lives matter more than human lives, but you have to have a real demented bone in your body, like the Biden regime, to just get on an airplane and leave the dogs behind.
Something's seriously wrong with you.
But Tony Blinken's speech yesterday and this entire saga of Kabul was an unexpected masterclass on how our leaders rule through failure, how they rule through arrogance, how they rule in a foolish and yet focused way.
If we had an honest media, which we don't, this entire saga would be written up in books that would be published by Thanksgiving.
Kabul, how our ruling class betrayed America's 20 years in a distant country.
And what Tony Blinken showed last evening in his pathetic address, that's the only way I could possibly put it.
First of all, he's one of the worst public speakers we've ever had.
He's almost mumbling.
And he went through in great detail how this has been a success.
How dare you question what we've done in Afghanistan?
13 Marines dead.
We just randomly killed some guy going to the supermarket and his eight children.
So part of the strategy, if I were to kind of analyze what's happening, and by the way, I could go through every single lie that these clowns have told.
I go through Mark Milley's lies.
I could go through John Kirby's lies.
I could go through Lloyd Austin's lies.
And they're so slippery, aren't they?
I have a new category of people that I think are some of the more slippery types of individuals.
You know, it's like, oh, that's a used car salesman or, oh, that's an ambulance chasing lawyer.
No, that's a Pentagon bureaucrat.
A Pentagon bureaucrat.
Slippery, double-minded, unwilling to tell the truth.
So Tony Blinken in Cut 34 first said, and again, this could be taught in a legitimate college class, not most of the places that you send your children.
But if you actually wanted to tell the audience, where are we?
Who's in charge?
What are their motivations?
There is no better example than the Tony Blinken speech last night.
From how it was written, how it was delivered, the arrogance, the deceitfulness of which the entire speech was presented.
You would use the term Orwellian, but I struggle to even say that because Orwell, in his characters around Airstrip One, they had more commitment of a truth to truth than Tony Blinken.
Cut 34.
More than 123,000 people have been safely flown out of Afghanistan.
That includes about 6,000 American citizens.
This has been a massive military, diplomatic, and humanitarian undertaking.
One of the most difficult in our nation's history.
And an extraordinary feat of logistics and coordination under some of the most challenging circumstances imaginable.
123,000 people have been flown out of Afghanistan, only 6,000 of them American citizens, less than 5%.
This is what he calls one of the most difficult diplomatic humanitarian undertakings anywhere.
However, he thinks you're stupid.
You see, the Yale and Harvard-educated speechwriters at the State Department who have never actually been overseas, their idea of being, yes, very foreign traveled is going to Paris or going to Oxford.
Yes, I'm very cultured.
I went to school with somebody who's the son of the king of Saudi Arabia.
Don't you understand how cultured I am?
I went to Oxford with someone whose father owns a 747 jet from Riyadh.
And now I write speeches for Tony Blinken.
I'm so sophisticated.
You see, as soon as they try to change the prism by saying, well, this is one of the most difficult in our nation's history.
Yeah, you created it.
They're trying to make an example.
Oh, this was Schindler's List, is what Joy Reed says.
Or this was Dunkirk.
It's the opposite of Dunkirk.
In Dunkirk, you allowed private contractors the ability to get out.
And all those examples are complete, are complete balderdash because this didn't have to be.
Biden handled Kabul in a quasi-treasonous way to the Taliban.
We know that thanks to the Washington Post.
They gave up Bagram Air Base.
They gave $85 billion of weapons to the enemy.
And Tony Blinken just stares at you and says, no, this was one of the greatest efforts ever.
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.
Go to supremecoup.com.
That's C-O-U-P.com to sign First Liberty's letter.
That's supremecou.com.
God bless America.
The Biden regime was very quick to make sure that Afghans who don't speak English, even though we're told that they're translators, come to America.
They're in Wisconsin.
They're in Idaho.
Welcome to your new neighbors.
They hate you.
They hate your values, but welcome.
We must just, if you disagree, then you are a racist.
Joe Biden wanted as many Afghans to come to America as possible.
We don't even know how many, but you know who he didn't want to have come?
The dogs.
An animal rights group has slammed Biden after the military allegedly left its contract dogs behind in Afghanistan.
I have on good reports here from a friend of mine who runs one of those groups.
He said the following.
Credible sources are now telling me working dogs who are released at the Kabul airport per Department of Defense authority, Major General Christopher Donahue, are being shot and killed right now by the Taliban on airport runways.
Those U.S. allies locally on the ground who are still trying to help rescue or save dogs are being affiliated with America and therefore are being targeted by the Taliban, so we're having to cease efforts.
Not only is Joe Biden overseeing a civilian slaughter, not only did 13 Marines die on his watch last week, not only did Kabul get handed over by the Taliban, but the beautiful dogs that did nothing wrong are being slaughtered right now thanks to Joe Biden.
Maybe that will get suburban soccer moms to actually think about the soulless part of the regime.
It's kind of, you know, I joked around in a text message.
Obviously, human life comes first.
Human life is objectively more important than animal lives.
The Bible tells us this, and just basic reason tells us this.
But I'm a big dog fan.
I'm a big dog person.
I have a soft spot for dogs.
Cats, different conversation, okay?
Now, I'm not saying you should slaughter cats, but let's just be honest.
Dogs are, they're very special.
They're almost a window into your soulless humanity.
They're loyal.
They are, they cheer you up.
They never do anything wrong.
Joe Biden, of course, Joe Biden's dog, what's his dog's name is Major?
He keeps on biting people, right, in the White House.
I think they had to deport Major back to Delaware.
Joe Biden still gets his dog.
Now, again, this is such an easy question.
You have these massive empty planes leading out of Kabul, empty, no one on them.
Why couldn't you just put all the dogs on the planes?
Who's going to be held accountable for the Americans that are abandoned in Kabul?
Who's going to be held accountable for the $86 billion and the hundreds of thousands of rifles that the Taliban now have?
Do you know the Taliban are now flying Blackhawk helicopters with dissidents strung from them?
They found out how to fly a Black Hawk helicopter.
Will anyone from the Biden regime actually be held accountable?
And the answer is no, that's not the way this game works.
Your Republican politicians that you keep on sending to Washington, they haven't really fought for you the last 10 or 15 or 20 or 30 years.
They're okay with Mark Milley.
Many of the Republican politicians that you donate to and that you support, they're quietly trying to get stuff out of Mark Mille.
They don't care that service members are being vaccinated against their will or forced to be.
They're kind of indifferent about the fact that dogs are being led to their slaughter thanks to Biden.
They won't be held accountable because that's not the way this game works.
For those of you listening right now where you have an actual job, if you did something as horrific as what just happened in Kabul, the very least you'd have to do is admit your failure and apologize.
The current ruling class isn't even doing that.
The current Pentagon State Department cabal, they're trying to tell us, they are gaslighting you so you don't understand, this is the greatest success we've ever had in military evacuation history.
How Diplomacy Works With Taliban 00:11:16
You should be thanking us.
Where's our parade?
We need a movie made about us quickly.
In fact, I want Matt Damon to act me as Tony Blinken.
I want Leonardo DiCaprio to play Joe Biden.
That's the way these sociopaths think.
They think all about themselves that we need the most amount of attention and praise imaginable, even though it is objectively one of the worst American foreign policy moments in history.

We're going to dive deeper into Tony Blinken's speech here and also into the psychology of the people in charge.
I have been asked numerous times, Charlie, how is it that we have people this incompetent, this void of wisdom, running our institutions?
I say, well, it makes perfect sense if you've been to a college campus lately.
And the college campuses are the incubators where wisdom goes to die and arrogance is bred, where deceitfulness is inculcated and treachery is encouraged.
The leaders of our institutions, prime example number one, Tony Blinken, have never actually ever had to be held accountable for anything consequential.
Tony Blinken said this in Cut 31.
He said, a new chapter of America's engagement with Afghanistan has begun.
It's one in which we will lead with our diplomacy.
The military mission is over.
A new diplomatic mission has begun.
Mind you, before we play this tape, how do you have a diplomatic mission without an embassy?
How do you have a diplomatic mission when you had to close your embassy out of fears that your own citizens would have to be killed, where we had to bring the flag down?
How exactly does diplomacy work with that, Tony Blinken?
You see, one of the great misnomers is that diplomacy can solve everything.
When it comes down to it, diplomacy is only effective when you have a bigger sword and a stick than the person across the table from you.
If you're going to rely solely on diplomacy with evil people, I got a book by Neville Chamberlain to sell you.
Cut 31.
U.S. military flights have ended, and our troops have departed to Afghanistan.
A new chapter of America's engagement with Afghanistan has begun.
It's one in which we will lead with our diplomacy.
The military mission is over.
A new diplomatic mission has begun.
The diplomatic mission that we don't have an embassy and we have no way to actually execute it.
Now, do you notice how they are experts, not at governing, but at deflecting and dodging?
One thing that Blinken is very good at is changing words, yet not necessarily always changing definitions, but changing the essence of what is being said.
A great example is when he was asked the other day, I think we have this tape.
We played it earlier, but it's worth playing again.
When they said, well, did you give lists to the Taliban?
He said, no, no, I didn't give lists.
We gave over manifests.
But isn't a manifest a list?
No, no, I know, but we gave over a manifest.
You asked if I gave over lists.
We didn't give a list.
We call it a manifest, therefore it's not a list.
Play tape.
The idea that we shared lists of Americans or others with the Taliban is simply wrong.
What was shared?
So, in specific instances, when you're trying to get a bus or a group of people through, and you need to show a manifest to do that, because particularly in cases where people don't have the necessary credentials on them or documents on them, then you'll share names of the list on people who bus so they can be assured that those are people that we're looking to bring in.
So, again, we call it a manifest, not a list, so therefore, it's not a list.
So, it's not a disaster, it's a transition.
It's not that Marines died.
No, they sacrificed.
It's not that we abandoned Americans in Kabul.
They're on vacation.
They're enjoying the weather.
It's beautiful this time of year in Kabul.
The hiking's nice.
And you're always on the move.
It's not that we're in a struggle with the Taliban.
There are partners.
We didn't, no Americans are stranded.
It's their choice to be there.
They want to go start a new life of opportunity.
You've never heard of the Afghanistan dream?
I mean, come on.
Where you can work hard and marry a 14-year-old and blow up a store if you want to.
It's the Afghanistan dream.
We didn't strand them.
They want to be there.
You see, part of the strategy for Tony Blinken is if they think they adjust the word and use a synonym of the word, you'll just stop asking questions.
And Chuck Todd didn't even ask a follow-up.
Like, hold on.
This is all you have to do.
Tony Blinken, hold on.
You said we don't have lists.
You just called it a manifest.
What the heck is a manifest?
And you'd have to do some, well, a manifest is a piece of paper with a bunch of names on it, right?
So it's a list.
Just because you use a synonym of the word and you're asked about the word doesn't make it any less true.
In Tony Blinken's speech, it became very clear that the type of leader this regime is focused on supporting and implementing is one that has never had to or want to take responsibility for their actions.
You see, leadership is not just about the perks and the benefits.
It's not just about the state dinners, the chauffeur cars, the staff at your beck and call, people bowing at your absurd title, like, oh, yes, Mr. Secretary.
It's not just about the aura of your unearned self-importance.
Leadership is also and truly about the stuff our rulers actually detest the most.
It's about sleepless nights, flag-draped coffins, unpredictable circumstances, terror bombings, press briefings, and hopefully the willingness to non-ideologically be honest and take responsibility for your actions and have some sort of sense of duty, not deflection.
This class of unelected czars of Millie and Kirby and Blinken and Austin, who sounds like a bad law firm from breaking bad, they want the lifestyle of being a leader.
They want the cars.
They want the staff.
They want the book deal.
They want the private jets, but they reject the responsibility.
They don't actually want to have to ever solve meaningful problems.
For them, it's not about a citizen government to help the country.
For them, it's a momentary position to be important so that they can then get their ticket into America's ruling class.
No matter how bad Kabul went, Tony Blinken will always be invited to Obama's birthday party from this point forward.
Tony Blinken's important.
Tony Blinken can now write a memoir of how unvaccinated white supremacist Twitter bloggers almost threw him off his game while he was trying to get the war in Afghanistan ended.
That we should all feel sorry for the grateful, dead, loving Nirvana listening to Tony Blinken, pot-smoking Secretary of State.
Man, we should feel sorry for him because he was getting really mean Twitter comments while he was trying to mess up what was happening in Kabul.
Tony Blinken's an important person, didn't you know that?
And since Tony Blinken is important and the whole government apparatus regime that he represents is as such, why should they ever have to take responsibility for what they've done?
The greatest leaders in the last couple hundred years are ones that rejected the prestige and the trappings of that position, and they were willing, that's right, willing to do uncomfortable yet magnanimous things to save the civilization.
Winston Churchill is the best example of this.
Winston Churchill had a relentless will, perseverance that was beyond comprehension.
Churchill rallied a nation to fight an existential evil and won and saved with it Western civilization.
Abraham Lincoln is another great example of that.
Tony Blinken is very similar to Neville Chamberlain.
Neville Chamberlain wanted peace so badly that he never wanted confrontation or conflict.
Tony Blinken, taking no questions yesterday, and I'm going to show you this tape here.
Tony Blinken being the perfect example of what you're dealing with.
You want to see what our colleges are producing?
It's that guy.
Weak, feeble, arrogant, conceited, self-righteous, narcissistic.
But Tony Blinken knows he can sleep well at night because he gets to have dinner served to him by masked servants.
He's an important person.
He drove home in a chauffeur car.
And he doesn't even know how many Americans are left behind.
Cut 33, he doesn't know how many people are left.
He said, look, we made extraordinary efforts and every opportunity to depart the country.
You know what this is like?
This would be like someone giving a press conference saying, look, I know that I have a problem being an arsonist.
And I understand that I started the Chicago fire, but then I picked up a bucket and I put out some embers.
I mean, I know that I started the Chicago fire and I know that I burned down the whole city, but come on.
I mean, I helped put it out eventually after all the damage.
That's what he's saying.
Look, look, I know we started the tragedy, but come on, I don't get any credit for like picking up a bucket of water and throwing some water on an open flame.
Cut 33.
We made extraordinary efforts to give Americans every opportunity to depart the country.
Wise Men Admit Mistakes 00:03:12
We believe there are still a small number of Americans, under 200 and likely closer to 100, who remain in Afghanistan and want to leave.
We're trying to determine exactly how many.
We don't know how many Americans there are.
We believe there's still a small number of Americans we're trying to determine how many.
And do you notice how everyone's pointing to one another?
He's pointing to DOD, and DOD is pointing to state.
No one wants to do what is necessary to govern the country, which is to take responsibility.
That's hard because you know what happens as soon as you take responsibility?
Accountability.
People can hold you accountable to that.
This regime was exposed in the midst of the Kabul crisis because it was so chaotic, deadly, and bloody that all of a sudden they could no longer blame the unvaccinated for what was happening in Kabul.
They always need a foil.
Remember this.
This is a law of the left.
They need a foil.
They need someone to point to.
They need someone to blame.
As we summarize what we've just seen in the last couple of weeks and quite honestly, a month, it's more clear than ever that our leadership class wants the importance of being in charge, but they don't actually want to do the tough stuff.
And the Chinese know this.
This is why they're going to exploit this to take Taiwan.
Look, the real estate market is really hot right now.
People are taking advantage of the low interest rates and the economic uncertainty by investing in real assets.
Whether you're a first-time buyer or just looking to make a change, the key to getting the property you want is being pre-qualified and having the cash in hand.
That's why you need to contact Andrew Delray and Todd Avakian at andrewandTodd.com.
I know these guys.
They're Christian.
They're conservative.

Well, they are with Sierra Pacific Mortgage, and my producer Andrew is working with them right now.
And he tells me they are part counselors, part financial planners, and are really helping him.
Stop using these woke brokers, everybody.
Andrew and Todd are mortgage bankers, not brokers.

Fools defend them.
Get Loans From Andrew And Todd 00:04:54
We are being governed by fools, arrogant ones, too.
That is the worst combination.
It's okay not to know things.
In fact, I admire that.
And there's this great dialogue in Plato's Republic where Socrates is told that there's this very wise man that he must go see and talk to.
So Socrates goes to go meet this man.
And there's this wonderful sentence that Socrates has after meeting the man.
And I'm paraphrasing.
And I think his name was Thiocles or something.
I'm probably totally off on that.
But there's this wonderful, and I'm paraphrasing what Socrates said.
He said, I met the wise man, and while I don't consider myself wise, I do know that that man is not wise.
And that was kind of the original 2,500-year-old version of humble brag because it kind of had this almost meta-brag, this almost meta-hierarchy to it, which is: look, I'm not considering myself wise, but I'm actually going to tell you what is wise and what's not wise.
And that guy's not wise.
And Tony Blinken, Biden, Austin Harris, the deflection and the dodging, the double speak.
It's enough where all of a sudden, are we going to trust anything our leaders ever tell us again?
By the way, I don't want that to be the case.
I don't want a place where all of a sudden I don't trust any of the institutions that exist.
That is not healthy.
I actually want a government that I trust.
I want a State Department that is not looking as if ISIS is filming their video, like it's some sort of B-rate hostage film in a basement in southern Syria.
So how did we get here?
Well, that's a longer question to explore.
But the main reason we got here is because the Founding Fathers gave us a system that has not been followed.
One of the characteristics of the system that the Founding Fathers gave us in the United States Constitution is checks and balances, a check on power.
And since we do not have an opposition party, Republicans, the State Department doesn't fear anything that could possibly come out of Congress.
They're unchecked.
There is no one, no institution that is holding them to account.
Unaccountable action with lots of power and lots of money and lots of prestige is almost always a recipe for the arrogant and the foolish coming together and governing your country into oblivion.
And that's been best.
That is the best example I can give over the last 30 days of what's happened in Afghanistan, in Kabul.
Deep down, Tony Blinken is not interested.
Jake Sullivan is not interested.
Jen Saki is not interested in the betterment of the country.
For them, this is all about the Charlie and the chocolate factory equivalent of getting the golden ticket.
They now have the golden ticket.
They're allowed into the chocolate factory.
They are allowed to Obama's birthday party from this point forward.
They now get to be important.
They get the name on the stationary regardless of how horrific of a job they have done.
It doesn't matter how much blood is spilled, dogs are slaughtered, civilians are murdered on the way to the grocery store, Marines are killed.
It doesn't matter.
All they have to do from this point forward is utter the party line, protect entrench interests, cover up for disasters that remain, be clever and treacherous enough to navigate the institutions, and they're important.
The incentive structure is not to govern and to create success.
The incentive structure, instead, is to become the cleanup squad after Chernobyl.
Not the cleanup squad of the actual nuclear spill, the cleanup squad of actually what happened with the government actions before that.
That's who they are.
Because then they get the golden ticket to the chocolate factory.
They get to be important while you remain subservient.
