Americans held hostage at the whims of radical Islamic terrorists behind enemy lines.
Planes not allowed to take off.
And it just when you think it can't get worse.
It's getting worse.
We now have the State Department memo, a leaked, well, it's actually a leaked email.
That they will not provide the approval of charter flights from Afghanistan.
Later on in the program, Dr. Ronnie Jackson will join us.
He actually helped get four people out.
We'll also get O'Reilly's take on all this.
This is a seven days ago, one week ago.
Now remember, that's that's the two days after we bailed and abandoned Americans behind enemy lines.
It's day 25.
They've been held hostage because they couldn't get to the airport because Joe Biden was so stupid.
He would he'd never stop the Taliban in their march all the way up to Kabul.
And when he had a chance to safely withdraw every single American citizen, their families, every Afghan ally, and all those billions of dollars worth of equipment that you paid for that he left in the hands of terrorists.
Um he waited until the Taliban had taken full control, but he has full confidence that the Taliban, you know, he's got leverage.
He doesn't have any leverage.
These are hostages.
They're not letting Americans fly out in northern Afghanistan right now, the Islamic emirates of Afghanistan.
Now, this is what is infuriating to me.
There are going to be stories.
There's a lot I can tell you that I just don't feel comfortable telling you, not because I don't love you, my audience, I'm I don't have a job but for you.
Because it's not safe for the people involved in these varying missions.
I actually got criticized.
We'll talk about it later, but for saying, you know, you've got special ops guys, retired, Navy SEALs, retired, the best of the best.
And they have decided that they cannot tolerate the idea of abandoning Americans behind enemy lines and leaving, which is what Joe Biden did.
And I said yesterday, I am in awe of these heroes, that they would risk their own lives, go behind enemy lines, you know, find money to charter.
You know, it's a cost to charter an airplane.
I've chartered airplanes to give speeches, to do stuff.
I'm telling you, it's expensive.
Private aircraft is expensive.
And yet people are stepping up.
There's a lot of them, a lot of different groups, and to every one of them I applaud them, but these retired special ops guys and Navy SEAL guys, you know, they they've decided to fill the void because our government abandoned our fellow Americans.
Something Joe said two weeks prior that he'd never do to George Devonopoulos.
Joe lied, Americans die.
Afghani allies die.
And I wonder if we'll hear that from the mob, the media, because they're all trying now to not talk about it.
Let's ignore it for now.
Day 25, Americans held hostage to the whims of the Taliban, radical Islamic terrorists, they're not allowed to leave an airport, and you would think it's, you know, it shows up on page D 36 in whatever section of whatever newspaper, barely mentioned now on the nightly newscast, the broadcast channels, and avoided at all costs.
You know, if they just want to talk about Ivor Mechan is horse dewormer.
And Joe Rogan took it.
Thank God.
Do you ever read the comments?
Joe, like people are so vicious.
I'm happy that Joe Rogan, he apparently got Regeneron monoclonial antibodies and he just doctor prescribed the human version.
You know, the one that won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015, Ivor Mecton, that one that Harvard medically trained doctors recommend as part of a protocol with monocolonial monoclonial uh uh antibodies and and other things to treat as a therapeutic.
Regenerant apparently to me is the most promising of all of them, but I'm not your doctor.
I don't know anything about your medical history, current medical condition.
Check with your doctor.
Please take it seriously.
We don't want people dying.
I'm glad Joe Rogan recovered.
And, you know, the fact people, it's almost like they want people to die.
Because they might have a different political point of view.
And the number of people saying the hell with your freedom.
I'm like, what?
How would Stern said that?
I'm like, wait a minute.
Howard, you get vaccinated, you wear your mask, you do your own thing, and stay away from crowds.
That's it.
You're in control of your own destiny, as every other American is.
You don't know, you know, Jimmy Kimmel saying unvaccinated people shouldn't be allowed to go to hospitals or something to that effect.
I'm like, what the hell is wrong with people?
You know, there are rare medical conditions that you don't know about.
One school in New Jersey, a college is not allowing a student to do online classes if they're not vaccinated.
They're not even going to the school.
I don't know people's medical history.
I don't know.
I do believe in science.
I believe in the science of vaccination.
I do.
But I but I don't know a thing about your medical history or current condition.
Anyway, I digress.
So now we have brave Americans willing to go behind enemy lines, Americans willing to pay a very high price to charter airplanes.
They're sitting there now for a week.
It's now been a week and a day since Joe, well, a week and two days since Joe abandoned Americans behind enemy lines.
Darrell Isa estimates anywhere between 500, if we include families over a thousand Americans.
I've heard estimates the State Department wants you to believe it's a hundred.
I don't believe them.
When I talk to members of Congress and senators, they tell me it's between 300 and 1,000.
The fact that we don't have an exact number is frightening also to me.
And then we got this leaked email from the State Department.
And it's from September 1st.
This is a week ago.
It's today's September 8th.
No independent charters are allowed to land at this Air Force base in particular, the military air base you mentioned in your communication with Samantha Power.
In fact, no charters are allowed to land at a Department of Defense base, and most, if not all countries in the Middle Eastern region, with the exception of perhaps Saudi Arabia will allow charters to land.
Now, by the way, the six planes in northern Afghanistan were had permission to land in Qatar, just so you know that part.
You need to find another destination country.
And then listen to this.
And it can't be the United States of America either.
We've got American citizens trapped behind enemy lines, sitting on a tarmac for a week with a plane ready to take off the Taliban will that we have so much leverage over, according to Joe Biden, won't let these planes take off and save our fellow Americans.
This isn't political for me.
If every person on that plane, every American caught behind enemy lines is a Hannity-hating liberal that wants to come back to America and get me fired and thrown off the air.
I want them home.
We save our Americans.
We promised our Afghan allies if this day came, we wouldn't abandon you.
We abandoned them.
Many are just gonna die.
Joe promising two weeks prior, oh no, I'm not well, I'll stay as long as Americans are there, sure.
Then it gets even worse.
The official noted that though some third countries may require official approval from the State Department before accepting the private charter flights, the department will not provide that approval.
So you got a plane ready to take off, a country that only needs the State Department to sign off and they won't approve it.
What in God's name has happened to this country?
That's this is not the country that I know.
I don't recognize this country.
Then we have the Chinese military.
We built Bagram Air Force Base.
We built it, we paid for it only weeks after the Biden administration ordered the withdrawal.
Yeah, the Chinese military is now eyeing a move right into that Air Force base.
Trump's plan Included the threat of obliteration.
Not a single American died in the final year of Trump's presidency in Afghanistan.
Actually, the last 18 months.
Because they feared that what happened to Solomani, Baghdadian associates, the caliphate, the Al-Qaeda leader in Yemen would happen to them, because Trump told them that would happen before they had any discussion.
His plan included America keeping in perpetuity the Air Force base for any necessary future conflicts with China because of its strategic location.
Multiple sources confirming to the Washington Free Beacon and U.S. news that the Chinese military is assessing the feasibility of sending soldiers and other officials to the abandoned Air Force Base.
They're new best friends.
Know what people are missing?
Biden is now hated by the American people.
He's now below 40 in terms of his approval rating.
He goes to New Jersey.
He gets heckled.
All this for an effing photo op.
You ain't gonna do Adam Schiff.
My best friend died in 2011 in Afghanistan for what, Joe?
You know, for for this guy to pull this Adam Schiff, you leave them in runes and Americans behind.
Joe will leave you behind.
You guys protecting him.
That was that was said to the police in the Secret Service.
He'll abandon you too.
Biden then dismisses it as if it didn't happen.
White House says there's no rush to recognize the newly announced Taliban government.
Well, what we do know is that the four of the five leaders in the new government, yeah, they happen to be uh former Gitmo detainees released by Obama and Biden to get back U.S. Army sergeant, this was the deserter, Bo Bergdahl, in 2014.
They now hold senior positions in the new Islamic emirates of Afghanistan government created by the Taliban.
Well, that's great news.
I mean, you can't make any of this up.
It's so sad.
You know, State Department says on Afghan refugees in the U.S., we're going to do accountings and background checks on the back end.
Blinken expects a release of the breakdown of who left Afghanistan in the weeks ahead.
Well, according to another report, and according to a congressman from Wisconsin, unvetted, this is Congressman Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin.
Unvetted Afghan refugees are allowed to leave Wisconsin's military base unsupervised.
What if an ISIS operative got into the airplane?
What if that happened?
Now Biden is requesting 6.4 billion in taxpayer money to resettle 95,000 unvetted Afghans across the U.S. Reports that they were vetting them on the airplane over to the U.S., but they're allowed to leave a military base unsupervised.
By the way, from the health issue, what I always say about immigration, you got to do a health check, background check, make sure people can provide for themselves and not be a burden on the American people.
Fort McCoy is now hit by a case of measles amid the Afghan refugee resettlement because the CDC is saying Afghanistan has the seventh highest number of measles, uh measle cases in the world.
The State Department's saying, I just can't believe this.
Literally saying that uh don't fly to the U.S. China's taking over Bagram Air Force Base.
Yeah, you need to find another destination country, but it can't be the U.S. And uh noting that some countries may require official approval from the State Department.
The State Department will not provide that approval for private charters.
In other words, you're stuck behind enemy lines, screw you.
Drop dead.
No help.
See you later.
Wow.
Is that the country you believe in?
This is not political anymore.
Is that the America that we have now become?
We leave Americans behind.
Not the country that I believe in four prisoners that Biden Obama exchanged for Bo Bergdahl, now in Senior Taliban Post, Taliban's interior minister on the FBI's most wanted list, believed to be holding uh American hostages.
The head of the group known as the Hakani Network is wanted by the FBI, has been named in the Taliban's interim interior minister.
Not a parody.
The U.S. expresses concern that the Taliban, yes, the Taliban's new government isn't inclusive enough.
Isn't it what we're talking about inclusive?
Women are going to be subjugated and forced to have sex with Taliban fighters just like the last time they had power.
Young girls are going to be forced into marriages with Taliban fighters.
And frankly, you're the ones that abandon our Afghan allies that and the women also involved that'll now be subjugated to the to the whims of the Taliban that have zero respect for women.
And we noted the list of Danes consists exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban of their close associates and no women.
This is where their mind is at.
This is where their heads are at.
Afghan women to be banned from playing any sports, the Taliban announced.
Oh, there's such an open society over there.
White House says no rush to recognize the new government.
They will, though.
They'll first are going to extort a fortune out of us, we the taxpayers, because that's called ransom where I grew up, and they'll pay it because they're not going to have any choice.
And yeah, Biden, you know, it's just so sad and so preventable.
He has no way to vet, as Tom Cotton said, all these Afghans seeking resettlement, and they're allowed to go free, even though we haven't vetted them.
Congressman Mike Walt saying we have a hostage situation in Afghanistan, and Tony Blinken is saying that the Taliban are now our TSA and customs agents.
