| Joining me now, Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. | |
| All right, Dom, Biden's getting slaughtered in the polls. | |
| It's clear that he can't hide that kind of performance. | |
| The images are searing. | |
| Do you think President Biden even has a clue that his presidency is teetering on the brink? | |
| Jesse, I don't think any of them have a clue. | |
| I mean, don't forget, as the world was burning, as a terrorist regime essentially entrapped and stranded perhaps tens of thousands of Americans, Joe was on vacation. | |
| So was his press secretary. | |
| And Kamala Harris, his vice president, was nowhere to be found. | |
| So I don't even know what he knows. | |
| All I know is, as an American citizen, I'm disgusted to hear our secretary of state say, the Taliban's in charge. | |
| You know, they went and said, you know, we'd like to extend maybe the deadline, please, to get our citizens out. | |
| And the Taliban said, no, there's a red line. | |
| And unlike Barack Obama's red line, the Taliban actually means it. | |
| They actually have resolve. | |
| And it's sad to watch. | |
| And what's sad as an American to watch is that our allies are also watching. | |
| They're watching the demise of American hegemony. | |
| 200 years of world dominance down the drain because of feckless and weak administration. | |
| That's what you're seeing here. | |
| I mean, who'd have thought that you'd have pulled the military out of Kabul, Afghanistan prior to Pulling out our civilians. | |
| Then you say, well, make your way to the airport. | |
| We can't guarantee your safety. | |
| Then they say, you know what, maybe don't try to get there right now because it's a little bit of a mess that we created. | |
| I mean, the thought process that went into this so that Joe Biden could own this on his own is a total and utter disaster. | |
| And there is no fixing that. | |
| You see the press is desperately trying. | |
| They're trending, you know, respect Biden. | |
| You know, after, I mean, he lost CNN over the weekends. | |
| I mean, This is pretty hard. | |
| When you lose the fakest name in news as a Democrat, it's a problem. | |
| They're trying to recoup that, but the American people see it. | |
| They see what's happening to this country. | |
| They're giving control to the Taliban. | |
| And not only are they giving control of Afghanistan and the Taliban, they gave them control plus $88 billion worth of American military-grade equipment. | |
| The same equipment that they're giving the Taliban, they would like to ban the civilian version of for law-abiding American citizens. | |
| That's what this administration stands for. | |
| That's how stupid it's become, and the world is watching. | |
| Yeah, they gave him 600,000 rifles, machine guns, shotguns, and howitzers, 200 airplanes and helicopters. | |
| How about helicopters, Jesse? Yeah, they got Blackhawks. | |
| They cost about $20 million a pop, Don, and 75,000 war vehicles. | |
| So, I mean, these things are resistant to IEDs. | |
| They can pretty much go everywhere. | |
| We've armed the Taliban to the teeth. | |
| The entire U.S. war chest is now in the terrorist hands, and we have no leverage. | |
| And now, basically, the Taliban's desk agent at an airport. | |
| Let me see the passport. | |
| No, sorry. Here's an AK-47 to the gut. | |
| You can't come through. We're having to bribe these terrorists just to get Americans out. | |
| And Joe says the allies love him. | |
| Everything's great. NATO loves him. | |
| Meanwhile, the British, our biggest ally, just sanctioned him in Parliament. | |
| And he goes out there and says, you know, the Americans, we're not hearing any stories of people having trouble getting to the airport. | |
| Americans are being beaten by the Taliban. | |
| So do you think he's lying? | |
| Or do you think he just doesn't have a clue what's going on? | |
| I think he's used to having a media that will run cover for them where they can lie and no one's going to call them out on it. | |
| I mean, to say that, you know, we haven't heard any negative news from our allies. | |
| I mean, the UK Parliament held him in contempt because of the embarrassment. | |
| He didn't even bother to call and let them know, our greatest ally in the world. | |
| He didn't even bother to tell them. | |
| And then after he did it, he was MIA for like 36 hours. | |
| Jen Psaki herself is saying, there's no American stranded in Afghanistan. | |
| It's not a problem, except, I guess, one of their directors of intelligence went on TV saying, yes, there could be thousands of Americans stuck, you know, because there's the difference between stuck and stranded in the little word games that they play. | |
| Now, if you or I played that word game, Jesse, there would be fact checkers all over us. | |
| Unfortunately, they can get away with that. | |
| But when, I guess it was one of the NSA guys says, hey, there's a problem yesterday, they can go and say there's no American stranded. | |
| It's like, well, so you Hatching a plan that hasn't gone anywhere. | |
| Everybody knows she's spinning and she's losing that game big time. | |
| But no one's calling her out, Jesse. Well, we are, and that's all that counts because everybody watches Fox. | |
| Now, Don, your dad got nuked off Twitter. | |
| Meanwhile, Taliban, they're on Twitter. | |
| You know, they can go out, they can commit atrocities, but as long as they follow the rules and guidelines of the platform, they can say whatever they want. | |
| Yes. Apparently, the rules and guidelines on Twitter is in your personal capacity, you can throw gays off of buildings, you can beat women in the streets, you can shoot at civilians as they're doing, you can behead people that were just law enforcement and or people who worked with the U.S. I mean, there's an American person who had reached out to Tom Cotton's office today saying, She'd been beaten in the streets by the Taliban twice. | |
| But the Taliban will go on record and say they are going to respect women's rights. | |
| And yet they beat her in the street for not being accompanied by a male while walking. | |
| That's what's going on. | |
| And Joe Biden allowed it to happen while he was sleeping or he was hiding in the basement like the coward that he is. | |
| Well, it's what happens. | |
| You can't hide forever. Eventually, people are going to see you're not competent. | |
| And now it's costing us. | |
| Costing us everything. Don Jr., thanks for coming on Primetime. |
